Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Without a word all the way, the plane landed smoothly at Tokyo International Airport.

Tokyo International Airport is actually Haneda Airport. In addition, there is a new Tokyo International Airport in Tokyo, which refers to Narita Airport.

At this time, in China, due to old habits and easy to distinguish, Tokyo International Airport is generally called Haneda Airport, and the new Tokyo Airport is called Narita Airport.

Although Narita Airport is now open, but because it is a new airport, there are not many flights.

Generally, during this period, direct flights from China to Japan land at Haneda Airport.

After getting off the plane, passed the security check, entered the terminal building, got the suitcase, and soon entered the waiting room.

However, in the waiting room, Cao Zhiqiang and his group did not see Masashi Sada who had agreed to come to greet him, but instead saw a strange young man in a suit and leather shoes among the crowd.

The reason why Cao Zhiqiang noticed the young man in a suit and leather shoes was not because he looked a bit like Masashi Sada, but because he was holding a big wooden sign with the words "Welcome Mr. Cao Zhiqiang from Beiping" in large Chinese characters.

Well, with these things written on the sign, it was clearly for Cao Zhiqiang.

So Cao Zhiqiang took two "secretaries" and hurried to the young man holding the wooden sign.

Most Japanese during this period, especially young people, like to drink coffee or drink matcha.

Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile, took a sip of the tea.

From this point of view, Masashi Sada is actually quite sad. He made a good documentary, but spent most of his life to repay it.

Currently, this is the most convenient and quickest way to get to Tokyo from Haneda Airport.

Originally, when he went to China this time, he also wanted to sell "Yangtze River" to CCTV, hoping to get a good price, but he ruthlessly refused.

So, a group of people came to the rest area and sat on the seats together. Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang opened his suitcase in public, took out an envelope from it, and took out a photo of him and Masashi Sada from the envelope .

There is no way, who makes the country poor now, and CCTV doesn't have much money.

It can be said that for the song "Sakurazaka", more than [-]% of the fans are women, and there are a lot of diehard fans.

You don't know how stressed I have been these days, so I am a little anxious. "

Throwing out the 2 million yen prepared by Masashi Sada himself, he actually owes a debt of 28 billion yen, and if the interest is added, it is actually a debt of 35 billion yen.

There is no way, the current domestic economy is still very weak, and it is completely incomparable with Japan's economy, so it can only be popular or not.

If you can change the lyrics of the songs in this album into Japanese, and sing together with Cao Zhiqiang in Japan as a group, the effect should be good.

However, considering that this is Tokyo, and Masashi Sada seems to have owed a lot of debts, there is nothing wrong with choosing to live here.

Just after taking a sip, Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

Generally speaking, drinking matcha is equivalent to eating tea, because matcha is made by grinding tea leaves into ultra-fine powder, and then drinking it with water, which is no different from drinking tea porridge.

It is really bitter, because this is not ordinary tea infusion, but matcha powder infusion.

The current president of this Sada club is Masashi Sada's father, Masato Sada, the president is Masashi Sada's younger brother Shigeri Sada, and Reiko Sada is the finance manager, assisting his second brother in running the club.

As a result, during the actual shooting, problems emerged one after another, and the funds continued to burn. In the end, after the shooting was completed, the actual cost exceeded 30 billion yen.

Not only that, this song also broke out of Japan, and began to conquer cities in East Asia and Southeast Asia. Masashi Sada's name also began to break out of the country, not only popular in Japan and China.

In addition, Masashi Sada became famous because of this single, so much so that when he held another concert, not only the venue was sold out, but the ticket price also increased by five times!
Not only that, but the song "Sakurazaka", because of its beautiful and warm melody and lyrics that are a bit like an infatuated man, is actually very popular among Japanese women.

Well, it looks like a two-story villa, but Cao Zhiqiang knows that this is actually a famous one-family building in Japan. Ordinary people live in this kind of place. At this time, Japanese rich people generally don't live here.

"Ah, blame me, blame me!" Masashi Sada slapped his forehead and grinned, "I'm sorry, Cao Sang, it's all my fault for being too anxious.

And along the way, Shigeli Sada talked a lot about his family, so Cao Zhiqiang knew at a glance that this woman should be Masashi Sada's younger sister, Reiko Sada.

Not for anything else, just because Cao Zhiqiang once translated some songs he wrote privately into Japanese lyrics, with conjunctions and notation, and gave them to Masashi Sada for free.

Of course there are also taxis, but taxis are too expensive, and trams are usually used.

"I see." Cao Zhiqiang returned the photo to the other party.

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang speak in such Japanese, the young man holding the sign was stunned.

That young woman, Cao Zhiqiang, had an impression. She was in the group photo when Shigeri Sada took out the photo.

Unfortunately, due to the resistance of a large number of women's rights activists, and Masashi Sada desperately rushing to the stage to pay off his debts, he didn't have much time to settle down, so he didn't release any hit songs later, so that although his number of concerts was large, they were not very many. blockbuster.

Then my brother also said that when you were talking on the phone before, I specifically asked you to bring the photos you took together, and you agreed at that time.

Relying on those songs given by Cao Zhiqiang, Masashi Sada regained his glory in the Japanese music scene, no, it cannot be said to rebuild his glory, it should be a higher level, and directly rushed to the ranks of top singers.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang also took the opportunity to introduce his two entourage secretaries, An Ping and Xu Chun.

Masashi Sada, Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, spent most of his life paying off debts. After he paid off his debts, he was already 58 years old, very old.

However, due to Cao Zhiqiang's excellent Japanese, the interpreter has never had a chance to speak from the beginning to the present.

When I arrived in Roppongi, I took a taxi, got off at a residential area, and walked a certain distance to the front of a small villa with a single family.

After all, only 35% of the tea leaves are actually soluble in water. Drinking tea can only drink 30.00% of the active ingredients, while drinking matcha is equivalent to eating the whole tea leaves, and naturally there are more ingredients that can be effectively used.

Subconsciously, he exchanged glances with an ordinary-looking woman in a suit beside him, and the man who looked somewhat similar to Masashi Sada quickly handed the sign to the young woman next to him, and then bowed to Cao Zhiqiang.

Now, when we started introducing each other, Mami Hojo finally had a chance to speak.

"Hi, hi!" Sada Reiko covered her mouth and smiled, then straightened her upper body and poured Cao Zhiqiang a cup of tea, "Cao Sang, please drink tea."

Although the other party was a Chinese translator, Cao Zhiqiang listened to the Chinese spoken by the other party, and it was so-so, with a strong Japanese emphasis, and he seemed to be an authentic Japanese.

"Ah!" Satian Masashi glared at his sister, "What are you talking about, how can you be so rude? Hurry up and pour tea for Cao Sang!"

Masashi Sada thought Cao Zhiqiang's previous popular album in mainland China, namely "Life in Bloom", was very good.

I won't talk about other songs, just talk about the single "Sakurazaka".

Matcha is a kind of green tea powder. It is instant like instant coffee. Just scoop a few spoons into a cup and drink it with hot water. It is much simpler and more convenient than regular tea. It can be regarded as instant. tea powder.

After pushing the door and entering, I saw Masashi Sada in the small courtyard, and a young woman beside him who was not good looking but dressed in a rather western style.

People like Masashi Sada, if they can't take advantage of the victory and continue to make good songs, they will easily be overthrown by newcomers who emerge in an endless stream.

"Isn't it? Sada-kun."

"I just came here, and I haven't had a sip of water yet, so you're going to talk to me about copyright sales? Are you in a hurry?"

After seeing the photo of Cao Zhiqiang and Masashi Sada, Shigeri Sada nodded: "That's right, it's my brother. It seems that you are really Cao Sang."

"Yeah!" Sada Reiko laughed beside him, "My brother is right, he can't sleep well every day now, he smokes a lot every day, drinks a lot of alcohol, and loses a lot of hair. If this continues, I'm afraid he's going to be bald soon."

In other words, Masashi Sada has actually left the family company long ago and started his personal development.

It turned out that the Sada Club suffered heavy losses in the Isahaya Great Flood in 1957. The debtor at that time was Masato Sada. Fortunately, Masashi Sada later became a pop singer and continued to sing and sing to help repay the money. It was not fully repaid until 1975. clear the debt.

After taking back the photo, Shigeri Sada smiled slightly, and then said: "Cao Sang, although it's a bit presumptuous, this is the first time I've met you, so I'm not sure about your real identity.

So, do you have a photo?Can you show me a group photo? "

Sada Co., Ltd. is actually the company of Grandpa Masashi Sada. Its registered place is in Nagasaki. Its main business is timber business, and it also does some trade.

Not only that, but thanks to Masashi Sada, the Sada Club was able to come back to life and survive to this day.

Especially matcha, which was once all the rage among young people in the 80s, once overshadowed drinking coffee.

As soon as this song came out, it immediately became a hit. Up to now, not only has the sales of records in Japan officially exceeded 200 million copies, but even radio and TV stations have frequently invited Masashi Sada to do shows.

After confirming each other's identities and introducing each other, Shigeri Sada warmly invited everyone to go with him, saying that his brother was already waiting for them at home.

Well, it's so bitter!

Next, a group of people left the terminal quickly, but they didn't have a special car to pick them up or take a taxi, but took the monorail.

And the audience is also forgetful. No matter how good your song is, if you listen to it for three months in a row, you will still get tired of it.

Speaking of this, the other party seemed to see Cao Zhiqiang frowned, thinking that the other party didn't believe it, he quickly took out a wallet from his arms, and took out a photo from it: "Look, this is a group photo of our three brothers and sisters, and there is a picture of my brother on it." , I have a younger sister."

But later, after Masashi Sada became famous, controversy also followed. Many critics began to criticize his songs for not being positive enough, especially after the release of his single "Guan Bai Manifesto", which caused massive criticism from a large number of women's rights at this time. .

It was only because the system came out with some special rewards that were difficult for individuals to use later that it had an additional purpose.

Hearing that Masashi Sada couldn't wait to buy the Japanese copyright of "Life in Bloom", Cao Zhiqiang immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Of course it's no problem, but it's inconvenient here, let's go to the side first and talk about it later."

Anping is fine, but Xu Chun's Japanese is quite good, and his original identity is also Cao Zhiqiang's secretary and Japanese translator.

Originally, both he and his father thought that this matter would be easy, and that raising [-] million yen would make the film a good one.

Of course, there is another plan, that is, Cao Zhiqiang sells the copyright of "Life in Bloom" to Masashi Sata, and he sings the Japanese version of "Life in Bloom" by himself.

As a result, the release of "Sakurazaka" not only brought Masashi Sada's singing career to a higher level, but also made the majority of Japanese women forget Masashi Sada's previous machismo, thinking that he was a prodigal son who turned his back on gold, and began to turn black pink.

Just like Cao Zhiqiang, he wanted to go to Japan before, and at the beginning he also wanted to come to Japan to sing and make money.

Because of this, Masashi Sada went to China with his father to relax, and the idea of ​​shooting "Yangtze River" was born and put into practice.

In order to pay off the debt, Masashi Sada is working very hard now.

So Sada Masashi invited Cao Zhiqiang to come here this time, firstly, to fulfill his promise to form a Chinese-Japanese combination, and secondly, to hope that Cao Zhiqiang can give some good songs, so that Sada Masashi can continue to work hard and create greater glories.

After bowing, the man in the suit smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "You are the Cao Sang that my brother has been talking about. Hello, I am Shigeri Sada, and Masashi Sada is my brother. Since my brother is now a public figure, it is not convenient to show his face , so this time I will pick you up instead of him."

No matter what, Sada Masashi really regards Cao Zhiqiang as a close friend now.

Immediately afterwards, Shigeri Sada introduced the woman next to him, named Hojo Mami, who was the Chinese translator he specially brought.

But my brother said that when he was in China, he took a photo with you, but when he returned to Japan, he was in a hurry and forgot to take the photo.

Sure enough, after entering the room for an introduction, the woman was indeed Masashi Sada's younger sister, Reiko Sada, who was also a part-time singer.

The reason why it is called a part-time singer is because Sada Reiko is working as a general employee at Sada Co., Ltd., and at the same time she is planning to be a singer at Sada Planning.

The Japanese female group in the 80s has a lot of consumption power and a lot of power, which directly promoted Masashi Sada to the altar.

It doesn't matter if Cao Zhiqiang doesn't have a new song for the time being.

As for Sada Project, it has nothing to do with Sada Co., Ltd. It is actually a personal office run by Masashi Sada himself. It is similar to a personal company. The main business is music production, and the sideline is film production.

However, to this day, the trend of "Sakurazaka" has gradually subsided, but it is difficult for Masashi Sada to write a good song of a similar level.

Not to mention anything else, let’s just say that in 1982, he held 162 concerts in Japan, and then almost every year there were more than [-] concerts.

Cao Zhiqiang looked at the photo and found that in the photo of the three of them above, there were indeed Masashi Sada and this guy who called himself Shigeri Sada, and there was also a girl who was not very good-looking, but very cheerful and lively.

"Hello." Cao Zhiqiang greeted him directly with a smile, "I'm Cao Zhiqiang, who are you? It's Masashi Sada, did you ask you to come pick me up? What about others, why didn't you come?"

Furthermore, Masashi Sada felt that there were many Chinese people, and wanted to hold a concert in China to make money, but after the actual holding, he found out that although there were many people who came, the scene was very popular, but the actual income was not as high as he held a concert in Japan Earn a lot.

After the tram arrives at Hamamatsucho Station, transfer to the subway and get off at Roppongi.

Therefore, drinking matcha has more active ingredients than simply drinking tea.

Experiments have shown that a bowl of matcha contains more nutrients than 30 cups of ordinary green tea.

Of course, because of this, the taste of matcha is really bitter, so sugar and milk are usually added.

However, many Japanese like to drink pure matcha, because they like the unique bitter taste, which is especially refreshing.

But unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang is not used to the taste of pure matcha.

Too high!
