Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 185

Slowly, Masashi Sada opened his drowsy eyes.

The exhaustion of the hangover made him feel uncomfortable; the dry throat made him subconsciously call out "water".

Of course, it's all in Japanese.

"Huh? Mr. Sada, are you awake? Do you want water? Here is herbal tea, let's get up and drink some."

"Thank you."

Sada Masashi subconsciously thanked him, but when he just sat up on the bed, he suddenly froze.

Because at this time, Sada Masashi's brain was already working.

It was precisely because of this that Masashi Sada realized that he was in a strange place.

After blinking, Masashi Sada looked at the person opposite, and after thinking for three seconds, he finally realized: "Oh, you are, you are Cao, Cao..."

"Cao Zhiqiang." Cao Zhiqiang continued to speak in Japanese with a smile, "We just met last night and had dinner together, Mr. Sada."

"Oh, I remember." Masashi Sada nodded, "Are you Mr. Cao, a poet, or the president of a publishing house that is about to open?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Masashi Sada frowned, looked around, and asked again: "Where is this? Why am I here?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and pointed to a glass of water on the bedside table: "Mr. Satian, your voice is a bit hoarse, drink some tea first, and moisten your throat before you talk."

Masashi Sada looked at the glass of water on the bedside table, swallowed subconsciously, and then nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "Then it will be disrespectful."

After finishing speaking, Masashi Sada picked up the glass of water and drank it all in one gulp.

After drinking this cup of herbal tea, Cao Zhiqiang picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Masashi Sada.

Masashi Sada drank it all in one gulp again.

Just like that, after drinking three glasses of water, Masashi Sada let out a long breath: "Ah, I finally feel alive, thank you, thank you, President Cao."

Cao Zhiqiang put down the teapot and shook his head: "It's a little effort, it should be."

At this time, Masashi Sada, who was completely clear-headed, blinked and asked with a puzzled face: "Well, President Cao, why am I here?"

"You really can't remember anything?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and sat down on a chair opposite.

Masashi Sada frowned and shook his head: "I don't remember anything, I, I seem to be drunk, I just remember drinking with you, and I can't remember anything else."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded, and explained why Masashi Sada was here.

It turned out that last night, Masashi Sada passed out on the wine table early, and then everyone chatted for a while, but after a while, they talked about the translator who had diarrhea and had no appetite brought by Director Chen.

Next, Director Dai was worried, and went to the toilet to see how the translator Zhou was doing, but when he went there, he found that the young translator had fainted in the toilet cubicle with a pale face.

At this moment, Director Dai was frightened immediately, not daring to move, and immediately ran out to report to Director Chen.

Director Chen is older and has a more stable temper. After checking the situation, he immediately asked for an emergency call and called an ambulance.

When the ambulance arrived, Director Chen and Director Dai were worried and went to the hospital together with the car.

In this way, only Cao Zhiqiang, Yu Deli, and the drunk Masashi Sada were left on the scene.

Since it was very late, Cao Zhiqiang asked Yu Deli to go back first, so as not to worry about his sister-in-law, saying that he would handle it here.

In this way, Yu Deli also left, leaving only Cao Zhiqiang and Satian Masashi.

As for Satian Masashi, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't wake up no matter how drunk he was because he was so drunk, so it was impossible to know which room he lived in.

Having no other choice, Cao Zhiqiang called the manager, and after letting the manager see the situation, he finally found out which room Masashi Sada lived in.

However, at this time, Cao Zhiqiang asked one more question, asking if the other party lived alone.

When he learned that the other party was indeed living alone, Cao Zhiqiang did not take him to his room, but chose to take Masashi Sada back to his home in Houhai, which is Qinghong's residence.

What Cao Zhiqiang said was that he saw Masashi Sada drunk unconscious and had no friends to take care of him. He was worried that something would happen if he went back alone, so he took him back to his home so that he could take care of him so that Masashi Sada would not die drunk in the room. .

Hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Masashi Sada was very moved, and quickly bowed and nodded, saying all kinds of compliments without money.

In this regard, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled and even said that he was not polite, saying that this is what should be done.

Well, judging from the process, what Cao Zhiqiang said was indeed correct, but in fact, Cao Zhiqiang's motive for bringing Masashi Sada back was not that simple.

If it is said that at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang was indeed very unfamiliar with the name Masashi Sada.

Then when he heard the name of the unaired documentary TV series "Talking about the Yangtze River", he even heard a documentary film called "Yangtze River" that had been released in Japan before, and even heard Masashi Sada say that he After losing a lot of money, he immediately realized who Masashi Sada was.

In his previous life, Cao Zhiqiang watched the TV series "Talking about the Yangtze River", and also watched the Japanese version of the movie "Yangtze River".

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang didn't finish reading these two works completely, he only watched excerpts, or short videos.

In addition, speaking of the theme song of the Yangtze River, that is, "Song of the Yangtze River", Cao Zhiqiang is very familiar with it, because he had learned this song when he was in elementary school, and of course he knew where this song came from.

Later, Cao Zhiqiang once read a long article on the Internet analyzing the stories before and after "Talking about the Yangtze River", and he also had a certain impression of this.

Especially knowing that this documentary series with the highest ratings in China was originally a movie made by a Japanese singer, and even the Japanese singer was heavily in debt for it, and he didn’t pay off the debt until he was 60 years old. People click their tongues.

It's just that the Japanese singer, that is, Masashi Sada, may be a very famous person to many post-[-]s generations in China, but Cao Zhiqiang has no impression at all.

It is also because of this that when Yu Deli talked about Masashi Sada alone at first, he couldn't remember who the other party was at all.

But when he told Director Chen, Director Dai and others that the purpose of their trip was to discuss the copyright reference of the documentary film "Yangtze River" with Masashi Sada, Cao Zhiqiang understood everything.

This is why Cao Zhiqiang suddenly proposed to write lyrics for "Talking about the Yangtze River".

Because he remembered that the popular "Song of the Yangtze River" began to solicit lyrics from the whole country after the last episode of the series "Talking about the Yangtze River".

Before that, Song of the Yangtze River was just pure music, without lyrics, and there were some slight differences in the tune.

The success of "Talking about the Yangtze River" is beyond doubt, and the theme song of this documentary - "Song of the Yangtze River" is also very successful.

After all, it is a work that can be selected as a primary school textbook, can it not be successful?

But here, at this time, the lyrics of the Song of the Yangtze River have not yet appeared.

It's fine if Cao Zhiqiang didn't meet him, since he met him here, how about taking advantage of it and plagiarizing that song for himself in advance, is he worthy of his status as a time traveler?
Of course, in addition to coveting the original rights to the lyrics of "The Song of the Yangtze River", Cao Zhiqiang's thinking has been extended and expanded, and he has begun to move his mind on Masashi Sada.

That's right, Masashi Sada is really down and out now, but before him, he was a rich second-generation singer famous for his talent, and his reputation was not small.

But just because of the filming of a documentary, Masashi Sada was heavily in debt. As a result, Masashi Sada's family did not benefit from this documentary, but it helped CCTV.

Although Masashi Sada's father is said to be a devil who once invaded China, Masashi Sada himself is a proper anti-war person, and he has nothing to say about his domestic feelings.

It seems that before Cao Zhiqiang crossed, Masashi Sada had always been a group of people who practiced Sino-Japanese friendship, and he was one of the rare Japanese friends.

In short, from Cao Zhiqiang's point of view, Masashi Sada, who is heavily in debt, is a rare commodity to live in.

Why do you say that?
Because Cao Zhiqiang can enter the Japanese music scene at this time through Masashi Sada and harvest wealth from the Japanese market.

You know, Japan in the early 80s was in full swing, and it was the most powerful period in Japan after the war.

Thanks to the strong economy, the Japanese entertainment circle at this time, especially the Japanese music scene, occupies a dominant position in the Asian circle.

Many popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan at this time were basically plagiarized from Japanese songs, such as "Declaration of a Man", "I Only Care About You" and so on.

At the same time, although the country has a large population and the domestic Chinese music scene is still a blue ocean, the per capita income here is also low, and the awareness of copyright protection is also poor.

So in the Asian music scene during this period, if you really want to talk about making money, you have to look at Japan.

Cao Zhiqiang still remembers that he once read an article in his previous life, which analyzed the prices of records in various parts of Asia in the 90s.

At the end of the 80s, the average cost of an original single audio tape sung by a famous domestic singer was only 12 yuan a box, and the album was only about 15 yuan, not more than [-] yuan.

In Hong Kong and Taiwan at the same time, the price of a single audio tape was about 50 Hong Kong dollars a box, which was equivalent to about 20 yuan a box in the RMB of the year, and the price was basically double that of the mainland.

Audio tapes in Hong Kong and Taiwan were expensive enough in the 80s, so how much is a cassette in Japan in the 80s?
The answer is that in the 80s, the average price of a single tape in Japan was around 1500 yen, and the price of an album tape was generally around 5000 yen.

In the 80s, before the Plaza Accord, the exchange rate of RMB to Japanese Yen was about [-]:[-].

That is to say, the same price of selling a music tape is 10 yuan in the mainland, and 88 yuan in Japan.

In addition, holding a concert in Japan can earn far more than domestic ones.

Relying on the system plug-in, Cao Zhiqiang already has Riyue proficiency, golden voice talent, top guitar performance, top harmonica performance, top accordion performance, and a selection of [-] modern pop songs.

With so many talents, skills and song scores, if he didn't take the opportunity to make a fortune in Japan, he would not only be reckless, but also a crime.

However, the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang is now a Chinese, limited by the national conditions and identity, it is very difficult for him to go abroad to Japan at this time, and he will be regarded as treason if he is not careful.

Therefore, he needs an introduction, or a partner with Japanese identity, to bring himself to extend his tentacles into Japan.

It's like Lou Xiao'e can help herself extend her tentacles into Xiangjiang.

Obviously, Masashi Sada, a well-known Japanese singer who has a good impression of China and is heavily in debt, is his best prey.

Therefore, in Cao Zhiqiang's eyes, Masashi Sada at this time is not a friend of Nihong at all, but a Qin Yiren living in Zhao country!

To some extent, the value of Masashi Sada is far greater than that of "Song of the Yangtze River".

Since it is a rare commodity to live in, of course we should take advantage of his illness, no, while he is down and out, hurry up and become friends with him!
