Some people cry and some people laugh; some people are sad and some people are happy.

Keiko Matsumoto and Ning Weimin are also a little different. She didn't pay attention to the unlucky encounter and lonely reactions of Satoki Kinji and Harada Michiko.

Now, she has no longer seen these two evil people who always slander her, and she doesn't care about what they think.

She only felt simple happiness.

Of course, this is not because she won the Academy Award.

Although Michiko Harada is so obsessed with this Best Supporting Actress Award, for Keiko Matsumoto, who has won two Academy Awards for Best Actress, this trophy is not much more, and one less less. At most, it is meaningless to take it back to enrich the office's display cabinet.

What's more, Ning Weimin had told her in advance that the award would definitely be hers, so there was no suspense for her.

She even had no envy or jealousy for the best actress in the Academy Awards for "The Man of Fire", and was sincerely happy for this friend in the industry.

However, it is worth mentioning that this college award is the first time that Keiko Matsumoto has appeared as a studio owner.

With the premise that she invested in "Li Xianglan" and her box office sales were soaring and rising steadily, she has become one of the "rice masters" in the Japanese film industry.

She can have an equal conversation with big studios like Songzhu and Toei, and now she can clearly feel that the people around her are more intimate with her than in the past.

Not only did the staff in the crew respect him more, but the famous directors also took good care of him. Even as the organizer of the Academy Awards, cadres and officers of the Academy Awards Executive Committee, welcomed him with a smile.

Such industry treatment is not something ordinary celebrities can enjoy.

But this is still nothing. Compared with these people, the attitudes of the agency and other actresses who were once alienated from Matsumoto Kyoko in the past have changed the most today.

Since there was a competitive relationship between each other in the past, even if we smiled and greeted each other, it was purely a "tea art display".

Everyone knows it all for themselves to establish a likable character for themselves and perform for the media and the public.

However, these people now have a little sincerity in treating Matsumoto himself with kindness and kindness.

The behavior that brought closer became much more enthusiastic, even exuding a deliberate congratulation.

Nothing else, it is simply because Matsumoto Kyoko has become a person who can provide job opportunities for the Japanese art world.

Moreover, in an era when Japanese films were beginning to decline, she dared to invest huge sums of money to shoot large-scale movies.

Its status is naturally incomparable.

It turns out that I became the owner of the studio, that's how I feel.

Just like the whole world is infinitely tolerant of you and is willing to give you kindness!

It turns out that becoming a capitalist seems to be able to do whatever you want, and this is the feeling of becoming a real big shot in the industry.

No need to worry about anyone’s opinions, no longer be scolded by directors and producers, no need to look at the president’s expression.

Even though Matsumoto Keiko is not a person who likes to be arrogant, she is very proud and satisfied in this environment where flowers are clustered and everyone respects them.

Although she did not dare to forget that she was an actor and a public figure, she still needed to consider the public's opinions and could not really act recklessly and do whatever she wanted.

But compared to the past, the relatively free happiness was enough to make her secretly happy.

Anyway, as a member of the capital side, she feels extremely good now!

Of course, to be honest, it is better to marry than to do a good job.

Of course, Keiko Matsumoto knew that it was all thanks to her own man that she could enjoy such a prosperous spirit.

But who gave her such good luck? Her Amin is so capable.

Not only did she prepare for everything and make arrangements.

Even the subsequent development issues were not necessary for her to worry about.

Who can be happier than her?

Therefore, as long as they have absolute trust between love and marriage as the basis.

But her sense of happiness did not stop there, but soon reached a new level.

First of all, the box office of "Li Xianglan" rose as expected. After twenty-one days of screening, the total box office finally exceeded 2.5 billion yen mark.

Moreover, the current communication effect is very good. Take Tokyo as an example. The attendance rate of well-known art theaters such as Ikebukuro and Shinjuku is 100%, and the maximum number of full shows has reached twenty-one.

In addition to the independent theaters that actively seek cooperation in Songzhu Film are also quite satisfied, and most of them agree to try to add the show.

This means that "Li Xianglan" jointly created by Ning Weimin and Keiko Matsumoto is destined to become a great film with a box office of over 3 billion yen in Japan.

To calculate the share of 50%, the box office alone will be accounted for at least 1.5 billion yen, which is enough to recover all investments, including hidden costs.

Isn’t this a miracle?

That's not all. As the two most capable subordinates under Matsumoto Kyoko's command, Okamoto Aki and Watanabe Man also heard good news one after another.

It was Akira Okamoto who finally sold "Li Xianglan" to a Korean film dealer for $2 million.

Moreover, the cumulative income of film manufacturers in Southeast Asia purchased this film has exceeded one billion yen.

Watanabe Manta reported on the income of products surrounding the film copyright.

According to the feedback data he obtained, Taurus Palace helped produce and release the original soundtrack album sales of the movies exceeded 200,000, the video tape sales exceeded 45,000 sets, and the promotional brochure sales of 150,000 copies have been sold out.

The total share of their income they can get is more than 515 million yen.

Both of these money are net income, and there will be more in the future.

Although the speed of making money will definitely slow down quickly as the movie is released, the advantage lies in the long run.

Not to mention Ning Weimin personally, there are royalties for the theme song "Please Don't Go".

In short, it seems that the success of the movie "Li Xianglan" has completely achieved the goal of selling big-time movies at the box office.

It is estimated that the total income they get will not be less than 3 billion yen, equivalent to more than 20 million US dollars and 150 million RMB.

To be honest, in the history of Japanese films, there were only two such famous historical figures in the past.

One is "Tiger Tiger" co-produced by Japan and the United States, and the other is "Shadow Warrior" directed by Akira Kurosawa.

This not only allowed Yoshitaro Nomura to successfully prove his directorial talent, but also won back his self-confidence and respect from other people in the industry.

It also completely lifted Mite Studio and Matsumoto Kyoko's firm out of poverty and became rich, and got rid of the financial crisis hanging over her head.

To put it bluntly, the rich benefits of the movie are the "Golden Medal for Immortality".

Even if they lose money on "Crazy Richmond" with the next investment of 2 billion yen, it would not have caused the fog production to go bankrupt.

There is still some money left.

It is definitely enough to support Fog Studios to shoot another big production movie to turn it over.

Secondly, it is precisely because this film has exceeded expectations in box office and reputation, which has given Ning Weimin the confidence.

It made him suddenly have ambitions and intends to participate in the International Film Festival and promote the film overseas.

At present, the closest time is the Cannes Film Festival in May.

Although according to the requirements of the Cannes Film Festival, one of them stipulates that the films that run for election cannot operate commercially in markets other than their own country.

Their "Li Xianglan" has actually lost the qualification to compete for awards due to its full development of the Asian market.

But this actually doesn't matter.

Because the significance of the Cannes Film Festival is not just as simple as competing for awards for movies, but also commercial transactions can be conducted.

You should know that when the Cannes Film Festival is held every year and people are intoxicated with magnificent images in the movie palace, the underground floor is hidden in the film market with the largest trading volume in the European film market.

During the Cannes Film Festival, which lasts more than ten days, tens of thousands of film industry insiders from more than 100 countries and regions will inevitably gather here to reach astronomical film copyright transaction volume.

In fact, Ning Weimin planned to participate in this movie "Li Xianglan", as well as some so-called "failed" movies from the Fog Studio and Kurosawa Akira's personal production studio.

He said to Keiko Matsumoto, "Of course we can sell it, but it doesn't matter if we can't. Anyway, for the future of the studio, we will still have to take this step sooner or later. It's nothing bad to go to the international market to see it early. Moreover, our marriage has no obstacles. I think it's better to hold a wedding early. At that time, we go to France for a honeymoon, which can kill two birds with one stone. We can't get married, so I'll let you continue your busy work, right? We just avoid the idea of ​​Japanese journalists and relax."

This kind of public and private voluntary and sweet words, Matsumoto Keiko naturally has no reason to object to it.

Especially when Ning Weimin mentioned marriage, she was even more excited from the bottom of her heart.

So just like most fiancées in Japan who long for love to achieve the right result, she agreed very softly and happily.

Finally, it is urgent to choose a wedding date and announce the marriage news to the public.

So on March 29, 1987, almost all movie fans in Japan who like movies were attracted to the gossip caused by Keiko Matsumoto.

Keiko Matsumoto, who just won the Academy Award, and the heroine of the popular movie "Li Xianglan", posted the good news of her marriage in the "Daily News".

It also announced that a wedding press conference will be held on TBS TV on March 31.

In theory, the Japanese public should have expected this.

After all, as early as last year, when Matsumoto Keiko was slandered and the scandal was exposed, she took the initiative to clarify to the public that she had been engaged to the public.

As the saying goes, things are just three, and gossip is the same. Like love press releases, if they are frequent, they will easily get annoyed by the audience.

But the problem is that there are not many stars who can satisfy both "popularity" and "deeply fascinated by the public."

Moreover, in this era where even ordinary women are demanding “three highs” for finding a life partner.

Originally, according to the judgment of many die-hard movie fans, Keiko Matsumoto was dating a foreigner from China and a person outside the circle.

With her high appearance and professional value, there is no reason to marry such an ordinary person from the Third World.

Many people still have fantasies about Matsumoto Keiko's marriage, believing that it is impossible for such a dog man to abduct their dream lover from casually.
