Unlike Teresa Teng, who is currently on the cusp of the limelight, Keiko Matsumoto, a film actress, has never been associated with music awards. This year, she was not selected for the Red and White Song Festival.
After all, it has been on for two consecutive years, and the Kohaku Uta Club always selects participants based on popularity and social attention.
Like this year, although Matsumoto Keiko has solved the troubles of scandals, at the same time due to the reduction in the number of works and advertisements, a further decline in popularity is inevitable.
She has already jumped out of the public eye and is already showing signs of being a has-been actress.
Especially in today's bubble economy, the most indispensable thing in Japan's entertainment industry is popular new faces. This year there are many new faces, and major economic offices have new stars who are popular.
In addition, it is becoming more and more obvious that television is overpowering movies, and it is increasingly highlighted by Shochiku Pictures as a representative, and the decline of the large studio system is inevitable.
It is not surprising that Keiko Matsumoto did not receive an invitation from NHK TV station.
But even so, Matsumoto Keiko was in a good mood.
Except because the plane was not grounded due to bad weather, we were able to return home on time to reunite with our parents.
Also because the big-budget movie "Li Xianglan", which cost one billion yen and took more than half a year to shoot, was finally completed.
This work, which has condensed the efforts of many people, makes her confident in the quality of the film and looking forward to her career next year.
As long as the film is released and gets a good response, not only her, but also many people's careers will be able to revive.
But these are nothing compared to the progress of her career. What makes Matsumoto Keiko most happy is that her marriage with Ning Weimin has also turned around.
She was extremely fortunate to have bravely answered a multiple-choice question correctly at a critical fork in her life.
Thankfully, she visited Kang Shude today and succeeded in impressing the old man with her sincerity and courage, so that she could embark on her return trip without regrets.
This is the most rare thing.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the plane took off on time, heading from the Capital Airport towards Tokyo, and rushed into the dark blue night sky.
I was not writing poetry, but Matsumoto Keiko had poetry in her heart. The general feeling of going home, finally!
Driven by the idea of returning, feeling the relief of being relieved, imagining the scene of being reunited with her relatives, and the joy of meeting her lover again in Tokyo, she looked for happiness and beauty around herself.
She booked a first-class cabin with a comfortable seat, like a bed.
There were not many people in the first class cabin and it was very orderly.
There are only eight seats, but four flight attendants provide services.
They dress in standard manners, speak well, provide considerate service, and are so sincere that people are moved.
The first-class seats look very comfortable, with a calm dark brown color scheme, and the milky white semi-enclosed "suite" also makes the space look very spacious. The seats occupy the length of four windows, and the flight speed is quite fast. .
Everything was great, impeccable.
She was immersed in the good mood she had created for herself, looking dreamily at the clouds hidden in the darkness outside the window.
But my eyes are looking at the outside, but my heart is thinking about something else.
As the Chinese youth of later generations said, what I watch is not TV, what I watch is my mood...
More than three hours later, the plane landed at Tokyo's Narita Airport.
All the passengers got off the plane eagerly.
Many people looked down at their watches anxiously, eager to pick up their luggage and go through immigration formalities.
But this eagerness is also different.
Because most people are in a hurry to go home, or are eager to find relatives to pick them up at the airport.
Matsumoto Keiko was not in a hurry. She didn't see any employees from the office coming to pick her up.
The first thing she did as soon as she got her luggage was to call Ning Weimin through the paging station. She couldn't wait to talk to Ning Weimin and tell her the good news.
Unexpectedly, this matter went very smoothly. Within five minutes, the public phone that Matsumoto Keiko was guarding rang.
"Moxi Moxi, who is this?"
Matsumoto Keiko answered the phone, and Ning Weimin's voice came from the phone.
"Amin, it's me..."
Due to excitement, Matsumoto Keiko's voice was a little trembling. When Ning Weimin heard it, his first reaction was to worry about her health.
"Keiko? What's wrong with your voice? Don't you have a cold?"
"No, I just got off the plane and am at Narita Airport. I miss you so much and can't wait to hear your voice." "Voice."
"I'm so touched. It's been really hard work..."
Ning Weimin responded with a hint of ridicule, but he was more troubled by other issues, "But...why?" Do you want to change the flight? The flight was not in the morning. Is there something wrong with the flight? Yes, actually it’s not the case, but I had something to do, so I was delayed..."
"What is it? Is it so important?"
Before the words were spoken, Matsumoto Keiko had already thought about it all the way.
But because this matter was self-determined and willful, it was somewhat difficult to talk about it. At the critical moment, she couldn't help but change the topic.
"We'll talk about this later. Am I bothering you by calling so late? Where are you celebrating the New Year?"
"No. I'm alone in Tokyo. I don’t have any relatives to accompany me, so I have nothing to celebrate.”
"It's so hard, so pitiful. When I hear you say that, I can't help but think of you being sick during the New Year last year. Amin, are you okay now? Don't be exhausted again."
" I'm really sorry for making you worry. But don't worry, I'm healthy now. In fact, if I really want to celebrate, I should celebrate that you came back on time. I was really worried until I received your page. If there is another problem with the flight, you won’t be able to make it back in time.”
“I’m so happy to hear you say that. If you have time the day after tomorrow, we can go together. Let’s take a hot spring bath in Hakone.” Keiko Matsumoto invited.
"That's great. I like this idea. Let's go to Hakone together the day after tomorrow." Ning Weimin readily agreed. "By the way,
I also prepared a special gift for you."
"What gift?" Hearing him speak so confidently, Matsumoto Keiko was curious.
However, Ning Weimin caught her appetite.
"I can't say it now. I'll give it to you when we meet. I'm sure you'll like it..."
Matsumoto Keiko was so anxious that she almost wanted to bite him, and she expressed her grievances. So cute.
"It will take another two days. Amin, can't you tell me first?"
"It's not okay to tell you now. If I tell you, there will be no surprise when we meet. It's better to keep it secret for now and give it to you when we meet." It seems that Ning Weimin has made up his mind to let Matsumoto Keiko guess. Enough.
In this case, Matsumoto Keiko had no choice but to use his trump card and decided to exchange news for news.
"Amin, if you are willing to tell me, then I will also tell you good news. I guarantee that you will be happy after hearing it."
"I don't believe it..."
"Really, the reason why I changed my flight today is to do this. If I tell you what happened, I guarantee you will be happy too. My news is as good as your gift. Maybe even better... ..."
The initiative has indeed changed now. Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko switched positions, and he became the most curious person.
"Okay, you have said so, then I agree."
"Then you say it first..."
"It's better that you say it first, I'll send it to you Yours is something you can see and touch, and I will tell you no matter what.”
In this case, Matsumoto Keiko no longer shied away, pondered for a moment, and finally told Ning Weimin that she went to see Kang Shude this morning.
"What? You... you mean... you asked the third brother to take you to see the old man?... You went by yourself? You asked him face to face why he disagreed with us?... What ? Does the old man speak Japanese? ... No... You are actually willing to sign a legal document to give up all your antiquities and give up your Japanese nationality?"
Ning Weimin struggled on the phone as Matsumoto Keiko told him. asked.
Everything was beyond his expectation. Even after racking his brains, he could not figure out this obvious fact in time.
"That's right." Matsumoto Keiko said. "I know it was a bit rash of me to do this. But luckily I went, otherwise I wouldn't have known that it was because of those ancient relics that the old man objected to our being together. Amin, you really should have told me the inside story earlier. If I had known , that might have solved the problem long ago.”
"But such conditions are really unfair to you. What should you do with your career? If this is the case, it would be too unfair for you..."
"Don't say such things. Compared with you in Tokyo What you do for me is nothing. If compared with love, it is not that important. I am a woman, and although Japan is my mother country, since I choose to marry, it is natural that I should. Naturalized husband’s motherland. No matter what, I won’t let you bear everything alone. I will share the pressure with you. Do you understand?”
Ning Weimin really didn’t. Thinking about it, Japanese women also have the consciousness of marrying a chicken and marrying a dog and following the dog, and they are so determined.
It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is a love brain, but it really moved him.
After thinking about it, I realized that this matter may not really reach this point anyway. If this matter is taken slowly, there may be a turn for the better.
It may not really require Keiko Matsumoto to sacrifice her career.
"Then...then I, Uncle Kang, agreed like this? Does he agree with your idea?"
In fact, this is the most important question. When Ning Weimin asked this, Matsumoto Keiko couldn't help but sigh softly.
"No, he didn't have a clear answer. He just said that we need some time and let us think about it carefully. He also thought about it."
But then, she was very gentle. He said, "But when we broke up, the old man sent me out in person. He seemed very touched by your search for him in Tokyo. Please let me tell you, don't force it if you really can't do it. And the most important thing is that he He didn’t say to me ‘Sayonala’, he said to me ‘Yiwaiyilaxiayi’…”
"Really?"
"Really!"
Ning Weimin was not confused this time and immediately understood the subtext of Matsumoto Keiko's words.
Because in Japanese, "sayonala" simply means "goodbye", but "yiwaiyilaxiayi" does not.
This sentence is indeed a bit special. It is a Japanese exhortation to relatives who are away from home, and it means "waiting for your return".
This means that the old man's mentality has undergone subtle changes. He is no longer indifferent to Matsumoto Keiko.
For a moment, Ning Weimin was in a daze while holding the microphone in his hand.
It wasn't until Keiko Matsumoto's voice kept calling him on the phone, "Amin, Amin, are you still there?" that he suddenly woke up.
But at this time, he was no longer in the mood to respond. He raised his hand and hung up the phone, ending the call simply.
Needless to say, after he hung up the phone like this, how could Keiko Matsumoto remain calm?
This Japanese beauty was so panicked that she had no idea what was going on with Ning Weimin.
“Moxi moxi” several times, but there was no response, so he quickly called the paging station again.
But fortunately, the panic and anxiety did not last long, because in just a minute or two, a familiar figure appeared beside her.
"Don't misunderstand me, Qingzi. I will always be your full-time driver. I was talking to you just ten meters away from you. It's a special day like today , How could I not come to the airport to pick you up? In fact, I saw you as soon as you walked out."
Ning Weimin stood next to Matsumoto Keiko and reached out to take the bag in her hand. He hung up the phone and continued talking while smiling at her.
"Besides, I don't want to break my promise when I hang up, but I want to bring you a gift with my own hands. You see, I bought you a little thing. As long as you open the box, you will understand what I mean."
As he spoke, he took out a small white box from his pocket with the "Cartier" LOGO on it.
Look at the size, it’s just right for a ring.
Matsumoto Keiko had a clear premonition!
In an instant, the anxiety turned into flushed cheeks and excitement, and also into endless tears!
That's right! It’s the ring!
Two minutes later, a young policeman with a clean face who had just joined the job slowly walked from the corner of the airport terminal. Narita Airport likes to use these young policemen to decorate the appearance of the airport.
Management thinks it can make people feel better, at least in terms of perception.
However, this policeman had no idea that he would see a very special scene on such a special day.
In the empty hall, a beautiful woman wearing a gorgeous fur coat and a diamond ring was leaning on a young man, crying uncontrollably.
Although the young man held her and tried to comfort her, her tears just couldn't stop flowing.
And because she is wearing a magic mirror, she doesn’t know whether the woman is happy or sad.
The newly recruited police officer was stunned for a moment, not knowing whether to take charge or not.
But he soon figured out that with the power he represented, he was probably powerless against such things.
So he pretended not to see it, hurriedly walked over by himself, and walked out of the terminal.
After breathing in the fresh air, he turned back and took another look through the door glass, feeling even more grateful that he was not minding his own business.
But to be honest, that woman is really beautiful, and it is inevitable to be a little jealous.
For this reason, the police couldn't help but look up at the stars, took a deep breath, and silently made a wish.
“The New Year is coming soon, and I really hope I can have a girlfriend! God, please give me a girlfriend who doesn’t like to spend money and can afford to support me with my salary!” (End of this chapter)
