Never try to fight the trend at any time!

If anyone wants to do this, it will always be in vain.

If not, you will be swept away by the tide and fall heavily on the beach, becoming a victim of the times.

This point can be said to be the most important point in the philosophy of success.

However, as the old saying goes, it is easier said than done.

Take director Kinji Fukasaku and actress Michiko Harada as examples.

Although they all know this, even though at heart they are all followers of the crowd. What they like most is to support the high and suppress the low, and speculate based on the direction of the wind.

But recently, as Keiko Matsumoto invested in the filming and starred in "Li Xianglan", which was a box office hit and achieved cross-industry popularity, they have developed psychological barriers in the things they were originally good at.

Not to mention conforming to the general trend, it is the icing on the cake.

Even facing reality and convincing yourself to accept this is painful.

You know, it was originally to attack Matsumoto Keiko.

This pair of adulterers and adulterers colluded together, but secretly infested Keiko Matsumoto with maggots.

From the public embarrassment during the filming of "The Man in the Burning House" to finally catching the sore feet of Matsumoto Keiko's private life.

Only then did they find the opportunity to expose it in the media, allowing the tabloid reporters to tease Matsumoto Keiko and give him a bad breath.

However, they never thought that people are not as good as God.

Somehow, Keiko Matsumoto was able to get help from noble people, and she repeatedly made comebacks against the odds.

It even went smoother and smoother, going higher and higher.

Not only did she quickly recover her reputation, she also took on sky-high commercials and movies, and once again climbed to the top of the list of Japanese female movie stars.

Moreover, the business under his personal name is inflating like a balloon.

In addition to investing in restaurants in Ginza, the key thing is that she also spent money to buy Matsumoto Seicho's studio and Kurosawa Akira's personal studio.

This made her famous in the entire entertainment industry, and her status was significantly improved. She became the first woman in Japan to gain "freedom of existence", become a member of the capital, and be able to talk to the top executives of major studios on an equal footing.

star.

Because of this, Matsumoto Keiko has become the industry idol and goal in the minds of all Japanese actresses, and is recognized as an industry legend.

For this reason, Fukasaku Kinji and Harada Michiko naturally hated each other so much that they wanted to go crazy.

Therefore, after being silent for a period of time, they still did not completely calm down, but instead burst out with more malice.

Just when the movie "Li Xianglan" was announced to start shooting, Matsumoto Keiko flew to China.

In addition to Fukasaku Kinji himself writing an article, he repeatedly provoked in many Japanese media, saying that Matsumoto Keiko did not understand the operation of a studio, did not understand film production, and wanted to get involved in the production field in a whimsical way.

It is estimated that the studio she bought will invest one billion yen to shoot the movie.

Not only will it bankrupt her, but it will also destroy the future of these two well-established studios.

Michiko Harada also took practical actions to make a malicious report to the Japanese tax authorities.

She believes that the source of Matsumoto Keiko's huge wealth is unknown and that her personal assets have expanded too fast.

It is suspected that there must be problems involving tax evasion or financial crimes if the taxes paid are not consistent.

But what none of them expected was.

First of all, Matsumoto Keiko's wealth was not obtained by selling her sex life in exchange for financial support from a certain chaebol boss, as they had guessed out of thin air.

Although there is indeed a very wealthy man standing behind her.

But the help Ning Weimin gave Matsumoto Keiko was just his speculative ability to turn stone into gold, without any actual financial help.

The original funds for making money from the stock market were all real estate mortgage loans under Matsumoto Keiko's personal name, and were then obtained through capital leverage operations according to Ning Weimin's instructions.

So since there is no money exchange between the two.

All Matsumoto Keiko's investments are upright.

There are no problems with the financial accounts, both public and private, and even gift tax issues are not involved.

Therefore, with the cooperation of Matsumoto Keiko's financial director Mitsuru Watanabe without any guilt, the Japanese tax authorities quickly discovered the source of the so-called "mysterious funds" in Matsumoto Keiko's name.

Although they were also surprised by Matsumoto Keiko's stock trading skills, the speed at which she made money was unheard of, like a myth, far beyond their knowledge.

But such transactions do exist after all, and they are real.

After a comprehensive investigation, they found a large amount of substantive transaction evidence, which can confirm that Matsumoto Keiko's funds were earned legally from the stock market.

So even if this matter is unreasonable, even if they suspect the possibility of insider trading, this is not the scope of the Japanese tax department.

In the end, when faced with the investigation results of Matsumoto Keiko's stock account, those who came to inspect the tax on behalf of the Japanese government could only be convinced.

After formally apologizing to Mitsuru Watanabe, they retreated quietly.

Secondly, what is even more shocking is that the movie that Matsumoto Keiko seemed to have made with all her might actually received an exceptionally good response after it was released.

It is obviously just a biographical film with a historical theme. Compared to commercial films, it is a completely thankless subject and type.

But I was lucky enough to get out of the circle thanks to the women's rights organization Japan Federation of Women's League's demonstration on March 8.

It has attracted almost all Japanese women and women from all walks of life to pay attention to it and then support it.

As a result, the box office exploded, and the originally unsatisfactory revenue ceiling was continuously raised.

As a result, Michiko Harada was about to be

The director Fukasaku Kinji was even worse, because the remarks he made seemed like a pure joke.

After all, in the past year, his public speeches have always been maliciously aimed at Keiko Matsumoto.

He has been trying his best to belittle Matsumoto Keiko's personal management ability, believing that she does not have the ability to revive the studios and will only completely destroy the two studios that fell into her hands.

So how can we reconcile now?

And the articles he originally wrote are actually remembered by Keiko Matsumoto fans.

At this moment, in response to Jing'er, someone wrote to the newspaper to publicly hold him accountable.

In addition to asking Kinji Fukasaku to take a good look at the movie "Li Xiangran", these people asked him.

He was also asked to publish an article publicly and apologize for his past remarks criticizing Keiko Matsumoto.

Someone even asked him in the newspaper, saying that Keiko Matsumoto could have produced "Li Xianglan" with a production cost of one billion yen, but the money was spent on obvious things.

Just like the "Tiger Tiger Tiger" he directed back then, the audience can see it from the movie without any explanation at all.

But where did he spend 500 million yen on "The Man in the House on Fire" last year?

Did it mean that except for the salaries of a few actors and some snow scenes in Hokkaido, the rest of the money disappeared out of thin air?

Who are you to predict that "Li Xianglan" will not be successful?

Why do you accuse Matsumoto Keiko of not understanding movies?

There are still more people who accuse Fukasaku Kinji of having certain professional qualities but not the personal qualities to criticize his identity.

I really don't deserve to judge other people's works.

Of course, Fukasaku Kinji was very angry. He wanted to kill the people who spoke out, and he wanted to burn down the entire newspaper that published these readers' questions.

Of course, that's impossible.

He could only plan to write a good article, which should be well-founded and stop the mouths of those ignorant people.

But the problem is that since the movie was released, he has been thinking hard about how to spray it.

It's a pity that after thinking about it for several days, I still find it difficult to start. It seems that there is really nothing to like about "Li Xianglan".

Let’s talk about the poor acting skills of the actors. The performances of the leading actors are all extremely wonderful, even the newcomer Yasuko Sawaguchi is remarkable.

The Chinese actors can curse, but this is to offend people unnecessarily.

Not only will it not be a drag on the film's box office, but it will arouse the curiosity of some China-haters, and perhaps contribute more to the film's box office.

Moreover, Chinese people have the best reputation, so his malicious remarks spread to China.

He might be blacklisted by major Chinese studios. His good character in the past would be completely ruined, and it would be difficult for him to cooperate with China again in the future. It is really not worth it.

But to say that the filming was shoddy is even more nonsense.

This movie was shot with great care and every aspect is perfect. It is an example of high cost and high ability.

Even he cannot help but admire directors of the generation named Yoshitaro Nomura, who are still very capable in telling stories.

Although the concepts are different, Yoshitaro Nomura has been filming movies for a lifetime. His experience is really sophisticated, his expression method is more beautiful, and his hard work can indeed improve the quality of the film to a very high level.

The audience is not fools either. If you make too brainless comments, you may get burned.

But let’s make a fuss about the rationality of the story direction and historical background.

It just so happened that there was also Yoshiko Yamaguchi herself as a consultant.

Who could be more authoritative than the author himself?

Talking about this is just asking for trouble.
