There is a saying in Japan that men and women who often go out to eat barbecue together usually have a super friendship relationship.
Pairs of opposite sexes who go to ramen restaurants in pairs usually have a romantic relationship with each other.
Because whether you eat barbecue or noodles, you cannot eat in a polite manner.
These things require a lot of movement to taste delicious.
Only by having the same spirit and being informal can we share these delicacies.
But in the actual life of Japanese society, even if they are friends of the same sex, there are very few partners who can dine together like this.
Because the Japanese live a very restricted life.
I am always worried that poor table manners will cause the other party to be stunned.
But Teresa Teng obviously doesn't care about this, she is a true-hearted person.
Don't look at the stage, she is radiant, beautiful and dazzling.
But off the stage, she is actually quite approachable, without the airs and arrogance of a big star.
As long as she treats people with whom she has no close acquaintance as friends, she is able to treat them with her truest self without any pretense.
Compared with the table manners that the Japanese attach great importance to, she, a Hebei native born in Baodao, is actually more concerned about who she is sharing the table with.
She just hopes to share delicious food with her close friends and spend quality time at the table together without restraint.
Just like this meal, the knot between each other was resolved and the misunderstanding was revealed. She no longer had any pretense and started talking and laughing happily with others again.
Not even afraid that Ning Weimin would be unhappy, he actually told Matsumoto Keiko, "Matsumoto-san, I heard President Ning say that you like eating bird's nests, right? But I have to advise you, if you like singing, care about the recording effect. If so, it’s better to put away the bird’s nest from Tan Palace before eating it, because although it is delicious, no matter how clean it is, it will still have fluff, which will make the voice unclear.”
Then he continued without any scruples. She asked for her favorite fried puffer fish, smiled like a flower, and ate her favorite food.
This look of a big eater with a big index finger is in sharp contrast to Keiko Matsumoto, who needs to control her food intake.
You know, most Japanese female celebrities have an appetite as small as a cat. Occasionally they need to eat during filming, but they only make a few gestures.
Teresa Teng never cares about that.
When she wants to eat something, she can't wait for a moment. She can't wait to eat it immediately so that she can feel comfortable.
And it will never be wasted, it will all be eaten, and the disc operation will be resolutely carried out.
Oddly enough, Keiko Matsumoto, who always paid the most attention to etiquette, liked her like this.
Not long after I met her, I felt like we were old friends at first sight.
Why?
Just because Matsumoto Keiko has reached this position in the Japanese entertainment industry is not easy, she has suffered a lot from the warmth and coldness of human beings.
Even if you become famous in the end, you will still be jealous and stabbed in the back.
As a veteran of the entertainment world, this Songzhu First Sister has already seen through all the faces in the entertainment industry and the treacherous world.
Of course she knows that those who are good at sociability can talk and laugh happily and say bright words even if they are interacting with people who do not know each other well, but most people are never sincere.
Seeing it too much will give her a sense of falseness, which makes her very disgusted.
However, Teresa Teng is definitely not such a person. She is not so shrewd, but she is very innocent.
On the contrary, this just shows her unique naturalness, kindness and frankness, which makes people feel fresh and fond of her.
She likes Teresa Teng like this.
Thus, although the film cooperation plan was not killed on the spot, both parties have only expressed certain intentions.
She still did not avoid suspicion and actively encouraged Teresa Teng.
"Teresa, with all due respect, as a woman, I can understand your difficulties and troubles. But I want to say that as a movie actor, sometimes the needs of the movie storyline can make people feel painful and full of resistance. After all, everyone has things they don’t want to remember.”
“But this is often the time when a person can improve his professional skills and impress the audience and the audience the most. Just like those songs that you have devoted everything to, don’t they also have sadness and sorrow? Like the song "Repay", the song "Lover", and even "Time of the Current" that helped you win the double championship. , how could it be so touching if it wasn’t filled with your emotions?”
“What’s more, you are at the most beautiful age of a woman, and your singing career is close to completion. Don’t you hope, Do you want to record your best side forever through the medium of movies? People will eventually grow old. I think that by that time, you will no longer care about some things. However, you can see your younger self in the movie. , the most beautiful self, what a comforting thing..."
From Matsumoto Keiko's words, Teresa Teng not only heard his appreciation for this song and herself, but also Understanding yourself.
This simple and considerate care moved her.
So looking into Keiko Matsumoto's eyes, it seemed like she had made a solemn agreement.
She nodded, "Matsumoto-san. Thank you. Thank you very much for the advice you gave me. I have to say, you are really amazing. Not only are you great at acting, but you also have rich acting experience. Especially your heart. It’s really rare to be so sensitive. I believe you are sincerely thinking about me. Well, if Taurus doesn’t object to my filming, then I will basically be fine.”
With that said, she turned to her boss Minoru Funaki.
Of course Minoru Funaki cannot object, this is exactly the result he is happy to see.
Not to mention that Ning Weimin is willing to spend such a large amount of money to invest in this movie, not to mention that Teresa Teng's salary will definitely not be a fraction.
In terms of movie soundtracks, he can also take over the distribution business, and he also has the opportunity to promote the actors signed by his company.
For him, this is also a combination punch.
So he said with a smile on his face, "No problem, no problem, as long as the shooting period is not too long, our Taurus Palace will definitely cooperate with us."
However, Ning Wei When Min and Matsumoto Keiko were also happy, unexpectedly Teresa Teng put forward an additional condition.
“Ah, by the way, I almost forgot, a friend of mine is also a director and has been helping me shoot music videos. I hope this can involve her. Of course, this is not the case. I leave the entire film to her, I just hope to give her a more important position..."
"Well..."
Matsumoto Keiko looked embarrassed at first and hesitated.
Because as a filmmaker, she knows very well that film production is most afraid of the opinions of outsiders.
How much experience does a music video producer have?
Although he is not asked to be the director, the important position is not given casually.
Even if you are an assistant director, you are taking a risk, and God knows how much it will lower the quality of the film.
"Teresa, I don't think it's possible either."
Minor Funaki also clearly expressed his opposition. Not only did he see Matsumoto Keiko's attitude, he was also unwilling to take unnecessary risks in the film.
No one can afford to lose in a film with such a huge investment.
For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the technique of exposing shortcomings, hoping to completely cut off Teresa Teng's unrealistic thoughts.
"Angelina Mai is your good friend, but you can't always help her in such unreasonable ways. Just like the last time the company recorded an album, you were uncharacteristic and had to go to The recording studio opened by Ms. Mai was used to record the Chinese version of "Toki no Flow's Body" instead of recording in the usual recording studio. What was the result? Anyone who listens to this song will find that the sound quality is better than yours at the same time. Other songs are slightly inferior. Now you want her to participate in such an important movie. How can she have such experience? What if she messes up again? If you want to support your friends, you might as well take it slow. Look for other opportunities. This movie is not suitable. If you do this, it is equivalent to taking unnecessary risks on the investment of President Ning and Matsumoto-san, which is too unfair to them..."
Then Teresa Teng couldn't help but look embarrassed.
Facing such an accusation with solid evidence and a backstab from her boss, she was completely speechless.
For a moment, I was like a child who was caught cheating, completely forced into a moral blind corner.
But the good thing is that Ning Weimin called out "An Qiling-Mai" because of Zhou Mumin, which touched the memory in his subconscious.
He immediately thought of the gossip news he had read in his previous life, and thus remembered a person who was very important to Teresa Teng.
The marriage change a few years ago caused Teresa Teng to be quite hurt.
It was at this time that a woman walked into her life.
Her name is Mai Lingzhi, a director from Hong Kong. Although she specializes in making low-budget films, she doesn't have many successful works.
But when Teresa Teng needed care the most, she stayed with her and gave her warmth.
The two have been inseparable and have been together for more than ten years.
Because Mai Lingzhi is dressed like a man, and Teresa Teng also invested in him to start a company and buy a house.
The paparazzi in Hong Kong always view and report on their relationship as "lily love".
But the most unexpected thing was when Teresa Teng finally passed away in Chiang Mai.
Although Mai Lingzhi received a lot of Teresa Teng's inheritance according to Teresa Teng's will, all of it was returned to Teresa Teng's family, not even the villa they purchased together during her lifetime.
This shows your character!
"Teresa, is your friend named Mai Lingzhi?"
"Yes, hey, how could it be? Do you know her too?"
Teresa Teng never expected that Ning Weimin would call her friend by his Chinese name.
After all, even many people in Taurus only know her best friend by her English name.
"Haha, I also read the reports from the paparazzi in Hong Kong City. Since it is her, then let her be responsible for maintaining your image and taking stills for you. Her position is considered to be the art of the film. Guidance, your name will appear in the title. As for the reward, ten thousand dollars a month, okay?”
Since it is really Mai Lingzhi, then Ning Weimin can understand why Teresa Teng is willing to use resources to exchange. The method paved the way for the other party.
He is also very fond of adult beauty.
This is not only because he knows that Teresa Teng and Mai Lingzhi have an extremely deep relationship, but the key is that he believes in Mai Lingzhi's character and professionalism.
There is no way she would cheat Teresa Teng on such an important matter.
And this time Teresa Teng was even more overjoyed.
She never expected that Ning Weimin would take care of her good friend like this.
If she really has such an experience, her friend will have qualified qualifications in the Asian film industry, and the future will be much easier.
So he nodded in surprise and agreed, "Okay, okay, thank you very much, President Ning. If I tell her, she will be very happy. It's just..."
Having said this, she looked at Matsumoto Keiko and Funaki Minoru again.
Remembering their attitude just now, she was somewhat vague.
"It's just...is it really okay? Now I feel like I'm really forcing myself on others. Won't it bother a few of you? If it really affects the quality of the film, then I also..."
Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin had already made a plan in his mind.
"No problem. After all, Miss Mai is your good friend. If she can also participate in the shooting, you will be in a good mood. Working with a positive mood is also a guarantee for the film. . And she knows you well enough, and her shooting experience will help you get into the role as soon as possible. I believe that she can not only give you the most pertinent advice on your personal image and emotional interpretation. She has enough sense of security and will take good care of you. This is also what I am happy to see. As for her personal development through this film and her willingness to learn filmmaking from the group, I have no objection, but you have to guarantee it. , she must not be allowed to interfere with the normal work of the crew. What do you think?”
Of course Teresa Teng agreed.
After hearing what Ning Weimin said, Matsumoto Keiko and Funaki Minoru also discovered the benefits.
Even the initial worries are almost gone.
So when things got to this point, it really fell into place.
A movie project with an investment of up to 2 billion yen was finalized.
To be honest, this meal was quite interesting.
First of all, from the perspective of Teresa Teng and Minoru Funaki, no one expected that they originally wanted to return the favor, but ended up owing a new favor.
They haven’t found a way to repay the huge amount of money that Ning Weimin helped run the awards.
Well, today’s meeting actually made Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko invest another two billion yen.
If you look at the financial return alone, their meal was a great deal.
The development and performance of Taurus Palace next year are enough to ensure that Teresa Teng will still be at the forefront next year.
Secondly, from the perspectives of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko, the feelings are similar.
None of them expected that they would have so many heartfelt words when they met for a meal.
And they also finalized a huge investment in cooperation, but since the idea was theirs, they also reached a consensus.
That is naturally full of expectations.
It makes them excited and excited to imagine what they can gain from such a film once it is successful.
In the end, there was a big joke in this meal, that is, Teresa Teng actually ordered all the fried puffer fish in this restaurant. (End of this chapter)
