The hotel where Zhou Yan and the others stayed was the same as the one at the production center.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I met Li Yiding walking out with another middle-aged woman.
"Zhou Yan, you are here."
"Well, we just arrived, are you going out?"
"Yes, there is nothing to do in the afternoon, follow Fang The leader is going out for a walk." Li Yiding took the opportunity to introduce the woman next to him, "This is Fang Qinfang, the leader of the Broadcasting Chorus."
"Hello, Captain Fang."
"Hello, hello, Teacher Zhou, I have long admired your name. I was chatting with Yiding just now. I didn't expect you to be so popular here in Neon. Gao, I've heard your music several times in the past two days."
"Captain Fang is so impressed." Zhou Yan smiled and asked, "Are you just going out without a translator? "
Li Yiding smiled and said, "You don't know this. Captain Fang studied in Neon for two years in his early years and is very proficient in Neon language. "
Fang Qin. He said modestly, "Proficiency is not enough, normal communication is no problem, and there are many Chinese characters in Neon, so traveling is not too difficult."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, I won't waste your time."
"Okay, you just arrived, go and settle down in the room."
After checking in , Zhou Yan stayed in the room for a while and then went out.
Although he does not know neon language, it does not affect his travel because he also has a tour guide.
This Three Kingdoms themed concert in Tokyo was held at the NHK Concert Hall, and the hotel they stayed in was also near NHK.
Zhou Yan came out of the hotel and arrived at the entrance of the concert hall within a short walk.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the concert hall, he saw Kudo Shizuka in a sailor uniform waving to him.
When he got a few steps closer, Kudo Shizuka rushed up and hugged him. The height difference between the two was obvious. Kudo Shizuka had to stand on tiptoes to wrap her arms around Zhou Yan's neck.
Jingxiang leaned against Zhou Yan and asked softly, "Did you miss me?"
"Yes." Zhou Yan held Jingxiang's waist, lifted it up, and said with a smile, “I have lost weight again recently.”
"I've been eating irregularly lately." Shizuka Kudo muttered.
This is the difference between a body that is prone to losing weight and a body that is prone to gaining weight. Both are caused by irregular diet. The former will become thinner, while the latter will become fatter.
In addition, due to the eating habits here in Neon, the probability of fat people is smaller. People here eat very little, especially girls, who all have small stomachs.
"Are you very busy with work recently?"
"Well, they are all TV programs and concerts. I just appeared on a program yesterday."
"Are you free in the past two days?"
"Because I knew you were coming in advance, I postponed some less important activities."
"Well, I just have a rest. , where are we going now?”
“Let’s go shopping on Central Street, not far from here.”
Zhou Yan nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you, you will be my tour guide today. ”
Shizuka Kudo tilted her head and said playfully, "I'm a tour guide, but it's very expensive. Mr. Zhou, you have to watch your pocket."
Zhou Yan turned his pants belt out and said pitifully, "What should I do? I didn't bring a dime with me when I went out."
Shizuka Kudo said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I will support you today."
"That will cost you money. "
The two walked forward holding hands. When passing by a large banner, Kudo Shizuka pointed at the words on it and asked Zhou Yan, "Do you know what is written on it? "
Zhou Yan looked up and then said, "It should be the announcement of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms concert, and I'm welcome."
Kudo Shizuka curled her lips, "Actually, you don't need me as a tour guide, you can do it by yourself It’s no problem to go shopping in Tokyo.”
There are many Chinese characters on this banner, and they are all key information, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Zhou Yan". It is easy to guess the meaning.
……
For Zhou Yan, there is not much to see in Shibuya during the day, it is just a relatively crowded ordinary business district.
No matter how prosperous the neon lights are now, it can't make Zhou Yan feel a little stir in his heart. High-rise buildings and bustling streets will be the most lacking in China thirty years later.
"Shibuya looks better at night." Shizuka Kudo held Zhou Yan's arm and said.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Do you usually come shopping?"
"I don't have time to go shopping, and shopping alone is boring."
"You can let me Songzi is here to accompany you, or do you have no other friends in the industry?”
Zhou Yan rarely heard Shizuka Kudo talk about his friends. She had said before that her relationship with Akina Nakamori was okay.
Shizuka Kudo said with blank eyes, "It's hard to have real friends in the industry. We only have a good relationship if we can call each other occasionally. Matsuko is a workaholic. Even if I take a break, she still has a lot of work to do." The friends we had when we were in school have become farther and farther apart now."
Zhou Yan nodded, Kudo Shizuka debuted in her teens, and there were indeed very few opportunities to make friends.
Actually, if Zhou Yan hadn’t made some friends later, he would probably have been alone most of the time.
When my predecessor was in school, I didn’t have many good friends. After I went to college, my relationship with the classmates in the class was also very average. Jia Guoping was in the same dormitory with Zhou Yan and was much older. So take good care of him.
At this time, several young girls passed by the two of them, chattering non-stop.
Looking at them, Kudo Shizuka said with envy, "I regret a little bit that I didn't go to school properly. In fact, I quite enjoyed the time I spent in your studio, surrounded by your stuff. Junior brothers and sisters, it’s like I am a student in the school.”
“If you really want to go to school, go back to our school and I will be your teacher.” Zhou Yan joked.
This was just a joke, but Kudo Shizuka blinked and looked at Zhou Yan seriously, "Is this okay? If I am admitted to your school, what conditions are required?"
Zhou Yan was stunned by Shizuka's serious look, "If you want to take the exam for our composition department, it might be a bit difficult..."
In fact, it is not difficult for Shizuka to go to their school, but her major can only be limited to vocal music.
Of course, if she is willing to spend time learning some instruments, she does not need to be too good at it, and she can hope to go to the orchestral major. Although Yangyin's standards are high, Kudo Shizuka is a celebrity after all, and she is also a foreigner. Just because of her popularity, the conditions will be lowered.
But it was impossible for her to get into the composition and conducting department, because it would test both her talent and basic skills. Which composition student has not been exposed to music theory since childhood? Many of them are second-generation musicians like Zhao Lao.
Zhou Yan himself can be considered a second-generation musician. Although his mother is not a composer, Zhou Yan has been exposed to music since he was a child, and his perception of music is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Not to mention the conducting department, which is more difficult than the composition department. The key is that the conducting department cannot be entered by hard work. It requires talent and a particularly good ear.
After hearing that Zhou Yan said it was difficult, Kudo Shizuka said with some disappointment, "I still want to try teacher-student love."
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "Your thoughts are a bit dangerous." Kudo Shizuka pouted. Looking at Zhou Yan, "Tell me, are there any female students in school who like you?"
Zhou Yan said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense, I am the same with the students in school. Keep a normal distance.”
His reaction is not an exaggeration at all. As a senior teacher who has been in the education industry for many years, this is what he fears most.
When he was teaching middle school in his previous life, Zhou Yan often encountered this kind of problem, especially in his first few years of teaching.
At that time, he had just come out of school. He was a few years older than the students. He had good looks and a gentle teaching style. If the students had emotional problems for a certain period of time, he would also provide psychological counseling to the students very considerately. enlighten.
Students, whether they are boys or girls, have a special complex towards their teachers, especially when the teacher is very gentle, they will easily develop some feelings for the teacher.
Children are in adolescence and may mistake this feeling for love.
Ordinary girls don’t show it, but in every class there are always one or two paranoid girls who have random thoughts.
At the beginning, Zhou Yan didn't take it seriously. He just thought it was a good thing for students to have a good relationship with their teachers.
But gradually, he discovered that something was wrong. Some girls would do some outrageous things, and he even received love letters from girls.
Zhou Yan was startled at that time, fearing that something would happen.
After that, he kept a distance from the students. More often, he showed the students the image of a strict teacher, and his dressing style became more and more rustic and mature.
After teaching for a long time, he gradually gave up the idea of making friends with his students.
The term "both teacher and friend" does not exist for him, because making friends with students may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
This teaching style continues to this day. Even though he teaches at a university now, he tries not to make friends with his students.
Of course, not every teacher thinks the same as Zhou Yan.
After teaching for a long time, Zhou Yan has seen a lot of messy things.
One time when Zhou Yan was on a business trip, he met a married female teacher traveling with a male student on the bus. He did not expose it at the time, but later he heard that the female teacher had divorced her husband. , as to whether he was with the male student or not, it is unknown.
The most outrageous thing that happened in their school at that time was that a girl fell in love with the married politics teacher of their school.
After that incident, every time we held a meeting, we had to emphasize that teachers and students should not get too close.
It was because he had seen so many situations like this that Zhou Yan had such a big reaction.
Seeing Zhou Yan's reaction, Shizuka Kudo smiled, "Although you have only been teaching for a few years, you make me feel like an old teacher."
Zhou Yan said with a smile, "What I call doing a good job, being good at a good job."
"Okay, okay, you are the best."
Kudo Shizuka's Chinese is getting better and better now, and she can even control her tone of voice very well.
......
The two of them walked around Shibuya until the evening. Although Kudo Shizuka went to many clothing stores, she didn't buy a single piece of clothing, just for shopping.
She is right, Shibuya does look more interesting at night than during the day.
As night falls and the lights begin to turn on, the whole street has a hazy feel.
And after it gets dark, there are gradually more and more people on the streets.
When they were tired from shopping, they found a nice-looking izakaya and went in.
As soon as the two entered, they heard a burst of cheers. Zhou Yan looked in the direction of the cheers and saw that there was a TV set hanging on the bar of the izakaya, and a football match was being played.
The TV set is not big, probably less than 20 inches. For a country with big TV sets like Neon, this equipment is considered backward.
However, the backwardness of the equipment did not affect the enthusiasm of the customers at all. A group of people were under the TV, looking up at the TV, concentrating.
"Is this the Neon Football League?" Zhou Yan asked.
“I don’t know.” Shizuka Kudo shook her head, and then asked the waiter a few questions in neon language.
After the waiter finished answering, Kudo Shizuka said to Zhou Yan, "It seems to be the recording of today's league. These two teams, one is Kashima Antlers and the other is Nagoya Orca Eight, are competing for the championship. It’s very popular, so everyone is paying close attention to it.”
“It’s a recording.”
Zhou Yan was slightly disappointed. The live broadcast of a football match gave people a completely different feeling from the recorded broadcast. When the result was already known, the process of the match was much less thrilling.
When watching the live broadcast, because the result is unknown, you don’t know which kick may lead to a goal, which is also the most exciting.
So Zhou Yan was also surprised that these people were so excited after watching the recording.
While being surprised, Zhou Yan was also lamenting that Neon’s football development is really enviable.
In fact, the development of Neon's professional football is only behind that of China. Their professional league has only been established for two or three years.
But it took them a short period of time to develop football into a decent form. Later, the football standards of China and Neon became worse and worse.
If Zhou Yan told the Chinese people now that it will be difficult for Chinese football to beat Neon in a few years, I am afraid not many people would believe it, because Chinese football has been nothing short of neon in recent years.
"Are you also interested in football?" Shizuka asked curiously.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's okay."
The recorded game ended quickly. When Zhou Yan and the others ordered the food, they heard the referee blowing the final whistle. The whistle sounded. In the end, Antlers Kashima narrowly defeated Nagoya Orca Hachi 2-1 and scored the key three points.
After a while, Shizuka Kudo suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the TV.
Zhou Yan looked up and it seemed like the news was being broadcast.
"What's wrong?"
Shizuka Kudo whispered, "Your news is being broadcast."
"What news?"
"The Sixth Sense is said to have been a hit at the box office in North America and has exceeded US$100 million."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure you mean US$100 million?"
"Well, I must have heard it right, the title is still written below. The host said that Asian movies have conquered Hollywood, and also mentioned the original "The Sixth Sense", saying that this movie was very high at the Neon box office at that time. Why? Is there something wrong with the US$100 million?”
“I just received a call from Colombia today. The box office of “The Sixth Sense” just exceeded US$60 million. Maybe the real box office is higher. , but it cannot exceed 100 million U.S. dollars, and it is even less likely that the TV station here in Neon will get the news so quickly."
Kudo Shizuka was not surprised, "They probably estimated it, and they also estimated the box office. A higher estimate will also attract more attention. Anyway, the final box office of this movie will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars. No one will compare the accuracy of the current news.”
Zhou Yan smiled. Sure enough, fake news is everywhere in the world, and this is not a street tabloid, but a serious TV station news.
Zhou Yan also has double standards when it comes to fake news. Anyway, the news has no harm to him at all, so he doesn't care. (End of this chapter)
