Afternoon, Hengshan Hotel.
The first batch of members of the Japanese delegation all moved in under tight and in place arrangements.
After settling in, the reception team held a brief but warm welcome meeting.
In order to organize this group of thousands of people, Japan has also established a Youth League Council, which is responsible for liaison with daily affairs. The general representatives are the presidents of Shochiku Film Company, Okuyama Rui, Awahara Komaki and The two Shochiku actresses, Keiko Matsuzaka, are naturally one of the representatives.
But to Fang Yan’s surprise, the male and female protagonists of “The Hunt” were included in the delegation this time——
Ken Takakura and Ryoko Nakano!
In an instant, many fans of Ken Takakura in the reception group left in admiration and surrounded the Japanese actors.
It was the same when it came to the Japanese delegation. Countless young men and women flocked to Dialect, holding novels such as "Malevolence" in their hands.
“Yanzi has always told me that he is very popular in Japan.”
Seeing such a crazy scene, Gong Zhen couldn’t help but sigh, “I didn’t expect him to be so popular!”< br>
"Of course."
Suzuki Yoko's face was full of pride.
Not to mention the Akutagawa Ryunosuke Award, not to mention the box office revenue of "Nayama Na Ren Na Dog" in Japan over 2 billion yen, not to mention the sales of "Midnight Ring", the first and second parts of the film, exceeding 300 Ten thousand copies, "Malevolence" alone, which has also sold well, is enough to achieve such popularity.
Although mystery literature was originally introduced to Japan as foreign literature, by the 1980s, sumo wrestling, tea ceremony, comics, and kabuki were listed as Japan's five national quintessences. It is no exaggeration to say that in terms of popularity, Perhaps Takakura Ken and Teacher Fang are equal.
However, in terms of status and reputation in Japan, Teacher Fang, as a "literary man", is far higher than Takakura Ken, an "actor".
Hearing this, a sense of pride arose in Gong Qian's heart.
In sight, Matsuzaka Keiko and Awara Komaki, who had just had a lively chat with Fangyan at the airport, suddenly appeared.
"Yoko-chan!"
"Keiko-chan! Komaki-chan!"
Suzuki Yoko held Gong Chou's arm and greeted him with a smile.
Matsusaka Keiko was surprised when she saw the woman in front of her who was no less beautiful than herself, "Who is this?"
Awahara Komaki exclaimed, "Are you the heroine of "Mountain Village Postman" ! ”
Once reminded, Matsuzaka Keiko also recognized it. After receiving confirmation from Suzuki Yoko, her face was filled with enthusiasm:
"It's really you! Great, I'm so happy to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you two, too."
Gong Tie shook hands with them and learned from Suzuki Yoko's introduction that Matsuzaka Keiko won the Best Actress Award at the Film Academy Awards, known as the "Japanese Oscars" twice last year and this year, and is now the hottest star in the Japanese film industry. female star.
Amidst the "congratulations", Matsuzaka Keiko said with a smile: "No matter where you are, we also want to congratulate you."
"Congratulate me?"
Gong Xie With a puzzled look on his face, where does the joy come from?
Awahara Komaki explained that the movie "Nayama That Man Na Dog" defeated such films as "ET", "Rocky 3", and "Chariots of Fire" and won this year's award. Japan Film Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
Matsuzaka Keiko said: "Originally we planned to tell Mr. Fang Yan the good news first."
Suzuki Yoko said: "It doesn't matter, telling her is the same as telling Teacher Fang."
< br>The two looked at each other, very confused, until they heard that Gong Cie was actually Fang Yan's wife, their expressions suddenly changed.
The cheerful and harmonious atmosphere just now dropped to freezing point immediately. Gong Xie looked at the silent women, with a bit of envy, or even a trace of jealousy in his astonished eyes. His eyebrows were lightly frowned. Shi Shi couldn't figure out why everyone suddenly stopped talking.
“I have always wondered what Fang Yanjun’s wife would be like.”
Komaki Awahara sighed: "I didn't expect to finally see myself today."
Gong Chou was held by her hand and asked how he and Fang Yan met, how they got together, and finally got married... …
Matsusaka Keiko listened quietly, with complicated eyes, "I must be very happy to be the wife of Mr. Fang Yan."
Although Gong Xie thought this question was strange, he still He smiled and nodded in response.
Matsusaka Keiko stirred the corners of her clothes with her hands, always maintaining an awkward but polite smile: "Congratulations really." "Arigado."
Gong Zhen was smiling, always feeling something was weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird about Matsuzaka Keiko and Awara Komaki.
I originally thought that the topic of conversation would be the exchange of Chinese and Japanese film culture, but until the farewell party was over, the most talked about was dialect.
“Papa!”
“Everyone, please don’t forget the party tomorrow.”
Before everyone left, Fang Yan clapped his hands and reiterated tomorrow's schedule.
“Hi!”
The members of the Japanese delegation responded in unison, and then receded like a tide.
When Matsuzaka Keiko, Awahara Komaki and others passed by, Fang Yan waved politely:
"Goodbye, goodbye, I wish you a good sleep tonight."< br>
However, the reply was not as cordial and warm as when they first met, but was cold and vaguely resentful.
Fang Yan frowned and was confused, "Strange, what's going on?"
Gong Xie's voice suddenly came from behind: "You think they are weird too, don't you?"
“Why do you say that?”
Fang Yan looked at Gong Jie from the left and Yoko Suzuki from the right.
Gong Xie told him all the ins and outs of the past, especially the two women who cared a little too much about him.
“We haven’t seen each other for a long time, maybe you want to know more about my current situation.”
Fang Yan’s eyes are close to his nose, his nose is close to his heart, “After all, we are all good friends.”< br>
Gong Jie said: "This good friend is a bit nice..."
"Are you jealous?" Fang Yan glanced at him.
Gong Yan rolled his eyes angrily, "You're just jealous, you're serious!"
As Fang Yan walked, he briefly talked about the relationship between the three of them, especially Matsuzaka Keiko:< br>
“If she hadn’t been willing If you want to be a guarantor, this loan or the house purchase will definitely not be possible."
"According to you, you still owe her a favor?"
"I have already done so. Returned.”
Fang Yan smiled.
"Teacher Fang wrote a song for Keiko-chan."
Suzuki Yoko talked about the singles released by Keiko Matsuzaka this year, one of which is "Song of the Sunset".
The other song is "Love in the Cherry Blossom Tree" adapted from "Lake Baikal". As the title songs of the new album, these two songs are highly sought after and have not only appeared on Japan's authoritative Music Trust chart, and sales are increasing day by day, already exceeding 500,000 copies.
This number greatly exceeds Keiko Matsuzaka's best album, "Love in the Water".
"This is not entirely my fault."
Fang Yan waved his hand and glanced at Gong Cie's face.
"That's it..."
Gong Qie always felt that something was wrong, but couldn't explain why.
Fang Yan changed the subject and said: "Let's talk about some serious business and discuss the arrangements for tomorrow's party."
Just as they left the hotel, Matsusaka Keiko stood at the window and looked down, as if she had found his figure, but also seemed to find nothing.
Although I had long realized that with her and Fang Yan's current status, it was impossible for the two of them to get married, but when I heard the news of his marriage with my own ears and saw his wife with my own eyes, I finally felt... It’s not a taste, so I can’t help myself The forbidden area sang the Japanese version of "Song of the Sunset":
"The setting sun shakily reflected on my cheeks,
It was the same as then,
The sunset makes people feel emotional,
Even if I kneel down to pray,
I just want love. Spring goes to summer and autumn comes again..."
Singing, singing, looking at the wall, the person living next door Asked Komaki Awara, "I don't know how she is doing? Are you the same as me? "(End of this chapter)
