Chapter 302 Song of the Sunset
Tokyo, Shibuya District.
In the past two days, Suzuki Yoko walked around with Fangyan and saw a lot of high-end apartment buildings.
“Thank you, Yoko.”
Fang Yan glanced at the sky, then turned his head.
"Teacher Fang, you don't have to be so polite." Suzuki Yoko waved her hands repeatedly, "I have learned a lot along the way."
"Let's have something to eat and then go back, I'll treat you!"
Fang Yan caught a glimpse of a rooftop food stall on the street.
“Eh?”
Suzuki Yoko blinked.
The two came to the trolley, opened the curtain, pulled up small stools and sat down. They saw food stalls selling oden, tempura, soba noodles, etc.
In the cramped space, other people consciously moved their buttocks to make some space, sitting shoulder to shoulder with each other.
After the dialect clicked, he looked back at Suzuki Yoko, "Look, do you want to order something else?"
"That's enough, that's enough."
Suzuki Yoko watched the stall owner busy cooking ramen.
Dialect knocked on the table and went straight to the topic: "Yoko, if you want to find a bank loan, you must need a guarantor, right?"
"Yes!"
Suzuki Yoko explained that joint and several guarantors are strictly required. You must be a Japanese citizen. In many cases, even permanent residents are not allowed.
“This is troublesome.”
Fang Yan smacked his lips, feeling troubled.
At this time, Japan, under the strong request of the United States, basically lifted restrictions on foreign investment in Japan's property and stock markets.
Restrictions on foreigners purchasing real estate in Japan have been lifted, and the taxes are the same as Japanese locals buying houses.
Moreover, many land titles in Japan are permanent, and even properties owned by foreigners can continue to be inherited.
However, Japan still has many restrictions on loans. Otherwise, you can buy an apartment building and rent out the extra house.
Jie Jie Jie, madam!
You don’t want your husband to be unable to pay the rent, right?
While he was thinking wildly, the stall owner brought over cooked tonkotsu ramen, oden, etc.
"Teacher Fang, you don't have to worry."
Suzuki Yoko said: "You can discuss this matter with my father. Youfei Ge often helps writers handle various personal matters."< br>
“Yes!”
Fang Yan raised his eyebrows. Unexpectedly, in order to allow writers to create without worries, Japanese publishing companies would designate an exclusive editor, similar to an agent in the entertainment industry, to provide considerate nanny-level services.
While the two were eating and chatting, they heard the diner next to them talk about "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog."
The movie box office continues to rise. Taking advantage of the friendly exchanges between China and Japan, it has become a dark horse that can no longer be black. It has exceeded the 600 million mark and is still 200 million short of reaching the level of the previous life. "The Mountain, That Man, That Dog" achieved great results in Japan.
In this craze, "A Bite of China" has added to the popularity.
The documentary, with Fang Yan as the chief planner and consultant, was broadcast on Fuji TV. Although the ratings were not as good as those of Japanese dramas such as "Oxin" with more than 50%, it still exceeded the qualifying standard. Jiji All have ratings of more than 30%.
According to the standards of the Japanese TV drama industry, this is a veritable "hit"!
Therefore, before admiring the red leaves, Fang Yan and Wang Zengqi also deliberately accepted a TV interview about "A Bite of China".
Once again, he showed his face in front of the Japanese audience, and even the novels and movies of "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog" also benefited from it.
Youfei Pavilion then pursued the victory and fought for the distribution rights of the essay collection "A Bite of China" in Japan.
"Teacher Fang, this is what my father asked me to pass on to you."
After arriving at the Kawaguchiko Hotel in Mount Fuji, Suzuki Yoko handed over a small gift and a sample book of "The Ring".
Fang Yan took the hand and asked, "Your father has returned to Kyoto?"
Suzuki Yoko shook his head and said that Suzuki Shunjiro was personally helping him deal with the matter of buying a house, and would return to Kyoto when he was done.
"That's really too troublesome for him."
Fang Yan showed a faint smile and was about to speak when suddenly a familiar voice came from behind.
I saw Matsuzaka Keiko and Kurihara Komaki standing tall and graceful, and next to them there was a "pure hibiscus flower" with a baby-fat face.
“Axin?!”
Yoko Suzuki blurted out, pleasantly surprised.
Tanaka Yuko bent down slightly, with a sweet smile, and greeted the two of them, especially the dialect that has been in the limelight in Japan recently, so she couldn't help but look at them a few more times.
She was sizing up Fang Yan, and Fang Yan was also sizing up her.
Sure enough, Showa beauties each have their own characteristics.
It’s a pity that people like Nakamori Akina and others are relatively famous and cannot participate in such an important event as Sino-Japanese film exchange.
"Teacher Fang Yan, can you sign your name for me?"
Tanaka Yuko unfolded a small fan, her eyes full of anticipation.
Matsusaka Keiko looked at Fang Yan signing, pursed his lips, and slowly shook the fan on which he wrote a three-line poem for himself: "It's almost time, let's set out to enjoy the red leaves."
Noticing something strange about her, Yuko Tanaka was thoughtful and casually followed the large troops out of the hotel.
…………
On the shore of Lake Kawaguchi, there is a corridor of red leaves.
Everyone walked on this winding path and was attracted by the staggered maple trees on both sides, which were like an overturned palette, showing colorful colors of gold, orange and deep red.
From near to far, the mountains and plains are covered with colorful blooms, overwhelming the sky and the earth, dyeing everywhere red wantonly.
“Kaka.”
Fang Yan took a seagull camera and took pictures of Tanaka Yuko, Matsuzaka Keiko and others.
Suzuki Yoko stood aside, "Teacher Fang, let me take some pictures for you."
Fang Yan said curiously: "Yoko, you don't look very interested. Why, you don't like to appreciate Red leaves? ”
Without waiting for Yoko Suzuki to explain, Keiko Matsuzaka said: "Yoko is from Kyoto, and the red leaves in Kyoto are the most beautiful in Japan."
Fang Yan was greatly surprised, "So that's it."
" There are many red foliage spots in Kyoto, including Arashiyama , Kinkakuji Temple, Kiyomizu Temple..."
Suzuki Yoko raised her chin and said: "When it comes to the red leaf hunting, the red leaves in Kyoto are the gorgeous poetry of autumn."
"It's a pity that there is no such thing. What a blessing.”
Fang Yan sighed with emotion. In a few days, the Chinese delegation will leave for home.
Suzuki Yoko said: "Teacher Fang, there will be another chance in the future."
Fang Yan hummed, looking at Mount Fuji on the other side of the lake, the lake at the foot of the mountain was sparkling, and the snow on the top of the mountain was Complement each other.
A peaceful and fresh autumn feeling comes to my face.
Everyone sat on the ground and formed a circle, holding a temporary singing party, coaxing fellow singers to come to the center to sing.
Matsuzaka Keiko was also invited up and cleared her throat:
“What I want to sing is the theme song of the movie that has not been released yet, "The Legend of Shanghai"."
"Pop Bang bang.”
Accompanied by applause, the a cappella singing was melodious, just like the autumn wind blowing through the red leaves.
The sun gradually set, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on Matsuzaka Keiko's face, which was so red.
While everyone present applauded, it was China's turn to send a singer.
"In my opinion, let Xiao Fang go."
"Yes, Teacher Fang is a lyricist and must be very good at music."
"Xiao Fang , sing "Lake Baikal" for everyone!"
"..."
There was a lot of discussion, Tanaka Yuko blinked and asked Kurihara Komaki what they were talking about.
Kurihara Komaki told the truth, even Matsuzaka Keiko couldn't help but marvel: "Fangyan-kun can also write lyrics?!"
Tanaka Yuko turned his attention to the open space in the middle dialect and Suzuki Yoko, without batting an eye.
Under the gaze of everyone, Fang Yan did not have stage fright, and his mind was running rapidly. What on earth was he singing?
All of a sudden, I thought of "Under Mount Fuji" by Eason Chan.
But then I thought about it, this song is about the relationship between a man and a woman, and it seems a bit unserious in this kind of foreign affairs situation.
"Teacher Fang, why don't you sing "Lake Baikal"?"
Suzuki Yoko suggested.
Fang Yan nodded and immediately followed suit, but he sang the first half in Chinese and Suzuki Yoko sang the second half.
Looking at the duet between men and women, Tanaka Yuko said in surprise:
"Si Guoyi, Mr. Fang Yan."
Kurihara Komaki and others were also full of praise. They never expected that Fang Yan not only wrote good novels, but also made such good songs.
Matsusaka Keiko stared at him closely, with mixed emotions. I don’t know how many surprises you have in store! ?
In the midst of the applause and cheers, a discordant voice suddenly emerged:
"Fang Yanjun, wait a minute, I will sing a song with Yoko. If this counts, , it can only be counted as half a song, and half a song is still owed.”
"Yes, Mr. Fang Yan, please sing another song!"
As soon as these words came out, others immediately started to boo, and even Suzuki Yoko became a "traitor".
Fang Yan couldn't evade it. After thinking about it, he saw the setting sun and couldn't help but have an idea:
"The setting sun is infinite, but it only shines brightly for a breath."
"Subsequently. The clouds gradually disperse, and the lost glory will never return.”
"As time goes by, it's hard to bear the changes in this life."
"..."
"It's a long road, and I suddenly feel that time is running out."
"Happiness is always short-lived. Before I return, who can see that my dreams are dull...
