Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

After drinking matcha too much, everyone's topic continued to expand, that is, they continued to chat.

However, it may be that Masashi Sada has been under too much pressure recently, or because of his personality, when he is chatting, it is easy to go astray.

For example, Masashi Sada was indeed talking about the copyright issue of the Japanese version of "Life in Bloom" with Cao Zhiqiang at the beginning, but then, perhaps because he saw Cao Zhiqiang frowning while drinking matcha, he actually talked about the relationship between China and Japan. Differences in tea culture and historical inheritance.

After talking about the origin of Japanese matcha culture and the benefits of matcha, Masashi Sada couldn't help but go to his own house and start talking about his family.

Among them, Masashi Sada talked about his younger sister Reiko Sada many times, saying that he didn't want her sister to follow the music path like him, and said that this line of work is difficult and the pressure is too great, especially Kage, that is, he can't write During the new song, the pressure was very high, and I couldn't sleep well all night.

By the way, he also mentioned the sadness of the songwriter.

Contrary to what many outsiders think, songwriters are very painful. If they want to create a good song, the idea is just a legend, and most of them are carefully deliberated like Jia Dao.

In other words, if you write a hundred songs, you may not be able to produce a song that you are satisfied with. Even if you write a song that you are satisfied with, it may not be able to cater to the market or be accepted by the public.

In other words, every song written with hard work day and night may not be able to sell money.

In addition, in addition to careful scrutiny in songwriting, talent and inspiration are the most important fundamentals.

Without that bit of spirituality and talent, no matter how hard you think about it, it's useless.

Masashi Sada has a bit of spirituality in this regard, so he has created many popular songs, such as "Guan Bai Manifesto" is one of them.

But writing a song takes time, and it’s best to be in a relaxed and free environment.

However, because of the filming of the movie "Yangtze River", Masashi Sada is now burdened with huge debts.

Even if the debt he bears now is not the 35 billion plus interest later, it is only 28 billion, but it is still a big hole.

In order to fill in the gaps, he had to hold concerts and accept commercial performances everywhere, just to make more money.

In short, he is actually quite depressed now, even if he is now climbing to the top because of Cao Zhiqiang's "Sakura", but only relying on this song, in this era of fierce competition, he will not be able to go far.

In fact, as early as a month ago, Masashi Sada tried to recreate it, but for some reason, he was probably influenced by "Sakurazaka" too much. He wrote and wrote, and actually wrote a lot of similar songs, but he really sang them. But it is not as flavorful as "Sakurazaka", which has an obvious meaning of HD learning to walk.

To put it more clearly, the current Masashi Sada has fallen into a bottleneck period, which means that his talent is exhausted.

Firstly, he was worried about not being able to write good songs, and secondly, he was under the pressure of debt, which made Masashi Sada's life very difficult.

It is also because of this that Sada Reiko and Sada Shigeri came to Tokyo from Nagasaki to take care of this worried brother.

As for the company, it will temporarily be handed over to their father, Masato Sada.

"Actually, I was the only one who wanted to come." Shigeri Sada said with a smirk on his face, "Reiko doesn't know anything, neither housework nor cooking. She came here just to make trouble."

"Ah, second brother, you are too much!" Sada Reiko immediately patted the tatami next to her, and angrily scolded her second brother, "It is obvious that you are greedy for the prosperity of Tokyo and don't want to continue to work, so you find an excuse to come here to play, what do you say? It seems that you are thinking of your elder brother?

Besides, my housework and cooking are not very good, but can you do it?You are not as good as me! "

"Ha!" Shigeru Sada glared at Reiko Sada, "How do you talk? I'm your second brother anyway, and who said I can't do housework and cooking? At least the miso ramen I cook is delicious."

"Huh!" Reiko Sada curled her lips, "How dare you talk about your miso ramen? The ramen you make is too strong, is it for people to eat?"

"You!" Shigeri Sada glared again.

"Okay, okay!" Masashi Sada patted the table suddenly, "What are you doing? It's rare that my friend came from the mainland. What are you doing? Are you making people laugh? Shut up!"

After stopping his younger siblings, Masashi Sada smiled wryly at Cao Zhiqiang and An Ping and Xu Chun beside him: "Sorry, I made you laugh."

"No." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "I think it's very warm, and the relationship between your brother and sister is very good."

"That's it!" Satian Reiko clapped her hands and said with a smile, "Cao Sang is right, our relationship is very good, that's why we want to come together."

"Hmph!" Shigeri Sada folded his arms and squinted at Reiko Sada, "You obviously want to come to Tokyo to play, don't say that you are so brotherly and sisterly, I don't think you are the one who doesn't want to work!"

When Sada Shigeli said this, Sada Reiko immediately retorted, and the two began to bicker again during the banquet.

Seeing this situation, Masashi Sada was furious. He slapped the table again, stood up, stretched his hand towards the door, and shouted: "Ah, get out, you two get out!"

Startled by Masashi Sada's sudden rage, Reiko Sada covered her mouth and said, "Brother, what's wrong with you? You, how could you yell at me like that in front of the guests?"

"I..." Masashi Sada took a deep breath, "Ah, I'm going, I'm going out to smoke a cigarette!"

After finishing speaking, Masashi Sada came to the door angrily, opened the door, walked out of the living room, and went to the courtyard outside.

Seeing this situation, Cao Zhiqiang said to Shigeri Sada and Reiko Sada with a smile in Japanese, "He seems to have a very temper."

"That's right." Reiko Sada said with her mouth flattened, "It's always like this recently, losing my temper every now and then."

Shigeri Sada nodded: "Yes, that's why I'm here to take care of him."

"Nonsense!" Sada Reiko immediately retorted, "You obviously don't want to work, but you are the president. How can there be anyone like you?"

Shigeri Sada said: "Ah, it's the same with me or without me in the company now, and there's nothing there in Nagasaki. It's so boring. I still like to work here."

Seeing that the two of them were about to start bickering again, Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly said, "You two, be safe and don't be impatient. How about this, you can chat with my two secretaries here, talk more about the customs and landscape features here, I'll go Take a look at Sada-kun, okay?"

Sada Reiko looked at Xu Chun and An Ping, who had been silent all this time but kept a faint smile, and said doubtfully, "But our translator has already gone back. How can we communicate without a translator? Or, the two of them can speak Japanese." ?"

"Ah, this Ms. Xu Chun can speak Japanese." Cao Zhiqiang pointed to Xu Chun.

"Hi." Xu Chun smiled and nodded to Reiko Sada, "My name is Xu Chun, please give me your advice."

"Wow!" Reiko Sada covered her mouth in surprise, "She can really speak Japanese."

Speaking of this, Reiko Sada looked at Shigeli Sada, who was still with the old god: "Yeah, it's the person you went to pick up, you already knew it? Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Shigeri Sada shrugged and spread his hands: "You didn't ask me."

Seeing that they started bickering again, Cao Zhiqiang whispered to Anping and Xu Chun in Chinese: "You two have a good chat with them, talk more about the customs and cultural landscape here, anyway, just show that you really want to visit The meaning of play.

Better yet, make friends with them and let them show you around like a real tourist, know what I mean? "

An Ping and Xu Chun looked at each other, then smiled and nodded to Cao Zhiqiang at the same time.

Only then did Cao Zhiqiang continue in a low voice: "Okay, I'll go see Masashi Sada, and you two will stay and chat with them.

Remember, the family is the best cover, and being friends with them is beneficial and harmless!
In the process of communication, you must be more enthusiastic, and it is best to act as if you are a country bumpkin.

Just like Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden, she made a fuss with exaggeration when she saw everything, to satisfy their vanity and show off, so that they would be more willing to take you around, understand? "

Xu Chun had a smile on his face, but his lips whispered: "Understood, I know what to do."

"Me too." Anping also said softly with a smile.

After confirming that the two of them were okay, Cao Zhiqiang stood up with a smile and left amidst the noise between Shigeri Sada and Reiko Sada.

Leaving the living room and coming to the courtyard, sure enough, I found Masashi Sada leaning on one side and smoking.

After discovering that Cao Zhiqiang had come out alone, Masashi Sada gave a wry smile and handed Cao Zhiqiang a cigarette.

"Quit." Cao Zhiqiang waved his hand.

"Ah yes, look at me, I almost forgot about this." Masashi Sada slapped his forehead.

Immediately afterwards, Masashi Sada withdrew the cigarette handed to Cao Zhiqiang, and took the cigarette dangling from his mouth by the way, wanting to let it be stamped out on the ground.

"No need!" Cao Zhiqiang hurriedly persuaded, "You can smoke, I don't mind, I just don't smoke, and I don't mind you smoking."

Masashi Sada was taken aback, but still threw the cigarette away, stomped it out with his shoes, and then smiled at Cao Zhiqiang: "Sorry, my younger brother and sister are so rude, I made you laugh."

"No." Cao Zhiqiang smiled, "On the contrary, I see that their relationship is very good, and I feel that they are doing this on purpose, trying to attract your attention, or divert your attention, so that you will not be so big again. pressure."

"Yes, I know." Masashi Sada smiled wryly, "I know they are all for my own good, and they came to look at me because they were afraid that I would collapse under too much pressure.

Originally, my father wanted to come, but he was not in good health, so he was not allowed to come because he was exhausted from the journey. "

After a pause, Masashi Sada said again: "Actually, besides the high work pressure, the reason why my younger brother and sister came together is because my hepatitis has relapsed. I was hospitalized for a week before, and I just got out of the hospital not long ago.

My father was afraid that he would not be able to take care of me alone, so he let them come together.

Coincidentally, they both wanted to come to Tokyo for a long time, so they came together. "

"I see." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then are you okay now?"

"Of course no problem." Masashi Sada smiled, "I've been in the hospital for a week, and I'm already healed, but this disease is afraid of fatigue, so I need to cultivate more."

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "Then you should cultivate well."

"No way." Masashi Sada shook his head, smiled bitterly and said, "Cao Sang, I don't have to hide it from you. You know me. I owe a lot of money now. If I don't pay it off sooner, it will only get worse and worse. more.

Therefore, I have to take advantage of my healthy body and my fame, to sing more, to hold more concerts, and to pay back the money as soon as possible. "

"Then you can't go all out." Cao Zhiqiang said, "Your body is important. If your body breaks down, everything is false!"

"You're right!" Sada Masashi stretched out his arms with a smile, "That's why I thought of bringing you here!"

"Me?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback, "By the way, speaking of this, you haven't said anything yet. You kept urging me to come here before, but the headquarters said the reason. Can you tell me now? What is it that requires me to come over?" Come here quickly?"

Yes, in fact, as early as the end of last month, Masashi Sada made many international calls to Cao Zhiqiang, sent several official invitation letters, and kept urging Cao Zhiqiang to come to Japan.

It's just that Cao Zhiqiang was still busy with filming at that time and couldn't leave, so he made an appointment to go in September.

As a result, in September, many things happened again. As a result, it was delayed until mid-September before I came to Japan.

That is to say, compared to Cao Zhiqiang's secret desire to come to Japan, Masashi Sada is actually the most eager one, and he is also the one who wants Cao Zhiqiang to come to Japan as soon as possible.

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang's rhetorical question, Masashi Sada smiled: "Of course, it's about cooperating with you."

"Cooperate with me?" Cao Zhiqiang was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "Ah, you mean to form a group? No problem."

Who knows, Masashi Sada smiled and waved his hands: "No, no, no, although I really want to form a combination with you, just like what we said at the beginning, but now, I'm afraid this combination plan can't be done."

"What do you mean?" Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

Sada Masashi exhaled, and took out the cigarette again, but he just smelled it, but did not light it, but rubbed it in his hand.

After twisting the cigarette with his fingers for a while, Masashi Sada took a deep breath and said, "Cao Sang, let me tell you the truth. In fact, I came here because I wanted to formally sign a contract with you and make you an officially signed singer of my club. Then, I hope you can make your solo debut here as the exclusive artist of our club!"

"What? Exclusive artist? Solo debut?" Cao Zhiqiang blinked, "If I understand correctly, you want me to make a solo debut in Japan?"

"That's right!" Masashi Sada nodded, "I hope you can debut in Japan alone as the exclusive contracted singer of our club."

"Stop forming a team with you?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"Don't do it!" Masashi Sada shook his head.

"Why?" Cao Zhiqiang asked with a frown.

Sada Masashi sighed: "The main reason is that my body does not allow it.

To be honest, my hepatitis relapsed due to my rushing to the concert some time ago. The doctor said that I can’t go on like this. If this goes on, it might get worse, and it might even turn into liver cancer.

But if I don't continue to sing, my debts will be paid off, and if I continue to procrastinate, the interest alone will kill me.

Therefore, at least for now, I can't make a combination with you, my body can't handle it.

Secondly, your talent is above mine, and if I am with you, it will only drag down your talent.

Cao Sang, when I was in Beiping, I knew that your talent in both songwriting and singing is far above mine.

Not to mention the talent of songwriting, your voice talent is already above mine, especially many high notes, I can't even sing, that is the voice bestowed by God.

You have such a great talent, you were born to be a singer.

What's even more outrageous is that your Japanese is still so good, and you still have an authentic Kanto accent. If you don't make it clear, no one will know that you are not Japanese, and they will think you are an authentic Tokyo native.

With so many talents and abilities combined, if you debut in Japan, you will definitely rise quickly and become a top-notch singer.

Although I don't want to make a comparison, the reality is that Japan is currently much more developed than the mainland. With your talent, if you debut in Japan, the money you make is definitely not comparable to that in the mainland.

Third, in the current Japanese singing world, groups are not as good as single singers, and most of the really popular singers are single singers.

Therefore, if I really form a group with you, it is not good for you or me, it is tantamount to losing my identity.

Finally, your Chinese identity is actually very pleasing now.

If we use the banner of Sino-Japanese exchanges, at least in the initial stage, we can get a lot of free promotion.

Of course, the premise is that you cannot sign contracts with other companies, but with my club, and it is an exclusive contract.

As long as you agree, I will definitely give you the most favorable contract, even if you want to immigrate here, there is no big problem. "

Speaking of this, Masashi Sada reached out and patted Cao Zhiqiang's shoulder: "Cao Sang, I'm not mistaken, you are a real talented singer, if you develop here, you will definitely shine!

Even, you can use this as a springboard to go directly to the world and become a super singer who is more famous than your compatriot named Deng Lijun.

So, please promise me, join hands with me, you are in front of the stage, I am behind the scenes, let's work together to create our own legend! "
