Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

"Cao Sang, here, this is the bookstore!"

The sudden appearance of Akina Nakamori brought Cao Zhiqiang back to his senses.

Looking up, sure enough, they had already reached the door of a bookstore.

This bookstore looks very new. Not only is the sign new, but the decoration is also very modern and trendy. It does not have the sense of history of other bookstores at all. It looks like a new store that has just opened not long ago.

But that's all, the key is the name of the bookstore, which makes Cao Zhiqiang feel familiar.

"Tsutaya Bookstore?" Cao Zhiqiang rubbed his chin subconsciously, "Isn't it the Internet celebrity bookstore chain that I knew in my previous life?"

After a slight smile, Cao Zhiqiang no longer thought about it, but followed Akina Nakamori into the bookstore.

After entering, I found that the inside occupies a large area, and it is very bright, and the decoration is also simple. It reveals fashion and trends everywhere, which is different from traditional Japanese bookstores.

"Not bad." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It's quite big. Is this newly opened?"

"Yes." Akina Nakamori smiled, "This bookstore was only opened this year, and it has been open for less than three months.

Not only can you buy and rent books here, but you can also rent CDs, LPs, cassettes and videos, and even laser discs, which are very complete.

By the way, in addition to these, there is also a built-in cafe, where you can read a book while drinking coffee.

When I am free, I like to sit here, drink coffee while listening to music, or drink coffee while reading comics, it is very interesting. "

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "That's really good."

After a short pause, Cao Zhiqiang said: "So, can we act separately? I want to go shopping alone and meet up at the internal cafe you mentioned, okay?"

"This..." Nakamori Akina hesitated for a moment, but quickly smiled, "No problem, let's do it like this."

As a result, Cao Zhiqiang and Nakamori Akina separated directly, and each acted independently, each looking for his favorite books and audio-visual products.

After parting, Akina Nakamori went straight to the manga area, and at first glance she was a manga lover.

And Cao Zhiqiang went to the book area, wanting to see what kind of books here are, or to see what types of best-selling books here.

The reason is also very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang thought about plagiarizing "Norwegian Wood" before, although he thought it should be no problem, but after all he decided to investigate and investigate first.

After all, he has discovered long ago that this world is only specious and not exactly the same as the world of his previous life, and it cannot be regarded as the past tense of his previous world.

Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang's past history can be used as a reference, but it is not appropriate to copy it completely.

"Norwegian Forest", in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, was first published by Haruki Murakami in 1987, which should not have appeared in 1983 in this world.

But there are contingencies in everything, so he still has to come and have a look before talking.

At the very least, he had to make sure that "Norwegian Wood" did not appear, so that if he plagiarized it, it could be considered original.

At first, he didn't ask the service staff here, but just searched silently in some novel areas.

I searched and searched, searched and searched, but there was no such thing as "Norwegian Woods".

Just to be on the safe side, Cao Zhiqiang searched every section, and he was relieved to be sure that there really was no "Norwegian Wood".

At the same time, he also discovered a strange thing.

There is no "Snow Country" here?
Kawabata Yasunari's masterpiece "Snow Country" is not here!
You know, in Cao Zhiqiang's memory, the novel "Snow Country" is a well-known masterpiece in Japan.

In Japan, "Snow Country" is the second most famous novel after "The Tale of Genji". It is said that as long as it is a larger bookstore, it is impossible not to have this novel.

But there is nothing here.

After discovering this situation, Cao Zhiqiang began to search for other novels by Kawabata Yasunari, such as "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand Cranes", but found nothing.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang thought that Yasunari Kawabata did not exist in this world, he found "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and the author was Yasunari Kawabata.

But looking again, there is only one "Kawabata Yasunari Fiction Collection", which contains some of his early novelettes and short stories, but his later masterpieces, such as his most famous "Snow Country", are not included at all.

Out of curiosity, Cao Zhiqiang went directly to a bookstore waiter and asked about Kawabata Yasunari's situation.

The other party was an enthusiastic middle-aged man who seemed to know the situation of Kawabata Yasunari very well, and found that Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to ask Kawabata Yasunari, so he explained it happily.

After listening to the other party's explanation, Cao Zhiqiang realized where the problem was.

It turned out that Kawabata Yasunari's previous experience here was similar to what Cao Zhiqiang remembered. The problem was in 1930.

In this world in 1930, Yasunari Kawabata here was unfortunately arrested for helping Yoshito Kurahara in private, and then committed suicide in prison.

Of course, there is another theory here, which is that he did not commit suicide in prison at that time, but was persecuted to death.

Anyway, Yasunari Kawabata here died in 1930, and he was a bachelor until his death, never married.

It may be because of this that Kawabata Yasunari has a high status here. In Japanese history, he is not only a famous writer, but also an anti-government democratic fighter.

However, because he died too early, many famous works in the later period did not appear, such as his most classic, the three masterpieces "Snow Country", "Ancient Capital", "Thousand Cranes" which helped him win the Nobel Prize for Literature ", none of them appeared.

Naturally, Kawabata Yasunari would not be able to become a leading figure in the Japanese literary world, at least he could not be compared with Dazai Osamu, nor would Dazai Osamu and Kawabata Yasunari fall in love and kill each other.

It can only be said that Kawabata Yasunari here has a lot of fate. He was obviously very talented, but died too early.

But in fact, if you think about it, Kawabata Yasunari in any world has a tendency to self-destruct. In Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, Kawabata Yasunari also died of suicide, but it was only after he was very old.

In the memories of Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, Yasunari Kawabata in that world did indeed sympathize with red ideals in his youth and helped many red figures, but he was never caught.

But here, Kawabata Yasunari was unlucky, was arrested and imprisoned, and died in a daze. He didn't know whether he committed suicide or was killed, but he died anyway.

"Hey, according to this, his "Snow Country" hasn't appeared yet, so if I write it, can I..."

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang's heart suddenly jumped.

Unlike "Norwegian Wood", the novel "Snow Country" is a completely different thing.

Although the sales volume of "Norwegian Forest" is great, it can be said that it is similar to domestic martial arts novels, or it is a relatively popular romance novel. In terms of literature, it is completely different from "Snow Country". There is no comparison.

The novel "Snow Country" is a masterpiece that can win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and it is also the highest achievement in the life of the great writer Yasunari Kawabata.

How awesome is this novel?

The so-called "the most beautiful Nobel Prize-winning work in the world" refers to "Snow Country"!
In addition, this novel has another feature, that is, there is no specific age, or in other words, any age can be included.

In other words, there would be no problem if I plagiarized this novel now.

The only problem is that as a foreigner, it seems a bit too abrupt to write such a Japanese-style work.

Well, it's okay, you can take your time.

For example, you can travel around, learn more about Japanese customs, read more novel magazines here, and then write "Snow Country", which will naturally not arouse suspicion.

Furthermore, before "Snow Country", it is very appropriate to release a best-selling book, such as "Norwegian Forest".

"Norwegian Wood" is used to gain fame, while "Snow Country" is used to win awards.

By the way, just in case, before writing "Snow Country", you can copy "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand Cranes" together.

Well, the trilogy should be complete.

Anyway, these three novels are mostly fantasies, so it's okay for me to write from a foreigner's perspective.

For example, "The Chrysanthemum and the Sword", isn't it also written by foreigners, and it has also become a well-known masterpiece in Japan.

At most, after the work is written, it is enough to participate in less interviews and keep it more mysterious.

Maybe, for transcribing those three novels by Yasunari Kawabata, I could win the Nobel Prize for Literature for it.

Of course, this is not absolute, after all, the Nobel Prize for Literature is also about the times.

Kawabata Yasunari was able to win the Nobel Prize in Literature, that was a matter in the 60s.

It’s the 80s now, and if I write those three novels by myself, I’m still a Chinese, so I may not be able to win an award.

Not necessarily.

People in later generations know about the Nobel Prize. It is a thing that talks about Western politics through and through.

It’s hard to say if you are after 2000.

But if it was the early 80s, it might not be so.

Because in the 80s, it was the period when China had the best relationship with Western society.

Even if it is politically correct, Western society should be more tolerant to Chinese literati, at least give them a jujube.

Hmm, yes, yes, the matter of plagiarizing the "Snow Country" trilogy can be put on the agenda.

However, the order of publishing books must be arranged. You must first plagiarize "Norwegian Wood" to make your name famous, then come to "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand Cranes" to pave the way, and finally use "Snow Country" to make a one-hit kill.

Of course, even if you can't win the Nobel Prize, at least you must win the Akutagawa Prize in Japan.

"Norwegian Forest" is fine, but works like the "Snow Country" trilogy, even in the 80s, have no reason not to win the Akutagawa Award.

"Could it be a bit greedy?" Cao Zhiqiang squinted his eyes and thought for a while, "Plagiarizing so many Japanese songs is conspicuous enough, but if he also shines in literature, it seems too easy to attract attention, which is not good for me. Spy career."

After thinking about it again and again, Cao Zhiqiang decided to copy it out.

I'm sorry for the system and myself if I don't say that I don't copy it out. The key point is that if he becomes famous, it will actually be more beneficial to his "espionage".

Darkness under the lights is not for nothing, and most people would not believe that a famous writer who has long been famous in the Western world is actually a spy.

Moreover, fame itself is also a kind of protection. Some irregular operations can deal with ordinary people, but it is not suitable for dealing with celebrities.

"Yes, yes, the operation of the great Japanese writer can improve the schedule."

"But this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take your time. It's better to stay in Japan for a while, travel around Japan more, learn more about customs and habits, and then write it out. It's more reasonable."

"Big singer, great writer, it seems that I am doomed to never return on the road of plagiarism."

After sighing again, Cao Zhiqiang simply bought a copy of "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and then went to the cafe to find Akina Nakamori.

When I first came to the cafe, I soon found Akina Nakamori. It turned out that she had come here early in the morning and was drinking coffee and reading manga here.

After reuniting with Akina Nakamori, Cao Zhiqiang looked at the manga she was reading, oh, it turned out to be Captain Tsubasa.

By the way, the comic "Captain Football" seems to have appeared in 1983, and it was very popular as soon as it appeared. It was a hot comic at that time.

It can be seen that it is normal for Akina Nakamori to like watching Captain Tsubasa.

"Isn't it, Izu dancer? You actually bought this book?" Nakamori Akina looked at the book in Cao Zhiqiang's hand.

"Why, is there a problem?" Cao Zhiqiang raised his head and asked with a smile.

Akina Nakamori frowned: "Well, this book is a bit difficult to read, and there are many sexual descriptions of men and women in it. At your age, it doesn't seem very good, right?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "The male protagonist in it is only 19 years old, and I am also 19 years old. What's the problem?"

"This..." Nakamori Akina bit her lip, lowered her head and did not speak.

Seeing her expression, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head amusedly, and immediately realized Nakamori Akina's conservativeness at this time.

That's right, "The Dancing Girl of Izu" does have some erotic descriptions, but they are not explicit, but very beautifully written.

In fact, if you are a teenager who loves literature, you will generally like the novel "The Dancing Girl of Izu", because it is more youthful and the description is more beautiful.

Yasunari Kawabata is known as "the most beautiful writer in Japan", and he is not talking nonsense.

The stories in his works are ordinary, but the description of characters with rich connotations is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

But it can also be seen from this that Akina Nakamori is not a literary girl, so she doesn't like "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and there are many misunderstandings.

If it was Koizumi Kyoko who prefers literature, I am afraid it will be different.

"Hehe." Cao Zhiqiang suddenly closed the book, "Actually, the reason why I bought this book was because of other people's recommendation. It is said that this book is very famous and has been put into a movie, and it was played by Momoe Yamaguchi, so I am impressed." interest."

"Ah, that's right." Akina Nakamori said with a smile, "Indeed, this novel is very famous and has appeared on the screen many times. Momoe Yamaguchi-senpai is just one of them. Although it is not bad, I prefer Sayuri Yoshinaga-senpai. of."

"That's right." Cao Zhiqiang nodded with a smile.

Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang looked at his watch: "Ah, it's getting late, we should go back, so as not to worry them, after all we have to shoot a short film in the afternoon."

"Ah, okay." Akina Nakamori looked at the manga in his hand with some reluctance, but closed it again, "Then let's go back, but you wait for me first, I'll return the book and talk about it later."

"Go back?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at Akina Nakamori, "Aren't you going to buy it? You seem to like this manga very much. Wouldn't it be nice if you bought it? You shouldn't be short of the money, right?"

Akina Nakamori chuckled: "It's different. If I buy it, I might throw it aside and never read it again. But if I rent a book to read, I will be very urgent, and within the specified time, I will soon read it." Read it carefully.

Therefore, I prefer to rent books rather than buy them, which is not the same as whether I have the money to buy them. "

"Understood." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "It seems that your self-control is a bit weak."

"Ah, I saw it by you." Akina Nakamori stuck out her tongue, "Actually, I really have poor self-control, I have to be restrained by someone, otherwise... oh, let me stop, wait for me, I will first Return the book and talk about it."

After finishing speaking, Nakamori Akina stood up, picked up the manga in her hand, and trotted to change the book.

Looking at the back of Nakamori Akina returning the book, Cao Zhiqiang nodded again.

Now he understands a little bit why Akina Nakamori is cheated by the scumbag again and again and can't get out again and again. It seems that it may not be because she loves so deeply that she can't extricate herself. It is more likely that she lacks self-control.

Hey, forget it, what are you thinking about.

After all, this world is different from the world in my previous life.

Maybe, Akina Nakamori here might not fall in love with that scumbag again.

And even if she meets that scumbag again and continues to fall in love with him, that's none of my business.

After all, I am not a fan of Akina Nakamori and a nanny.

If I have to say one Japanese female star in the 80s that I like, I can only think of one, and that is Yasuko Sawaguchi, the last beauty of the Showa era.

However, I have been in Japan for so long, and I have never heard of a female star named Yasuko Sawaguchi here.

Is it because there is no Yasuko Sawaguchi in this world, or is the time wrong and she hasn't made her debut yet?
By the way, I remember that Yasuko Sawaguchi graduated from Liquanyang High School in Osaka Prefecture, it seems that he graduated in [-] or [-].

If you have a chance, how about going to that school to find out?

If Yasuko Sawaguchi really existed in this world, in terms of her appearance, it would be absolutely impossible for her to be unknown, at least in that high school, it would be impossible for her to be unknown.

Hmm, it's good to have a chance to check it out.

In case she hasn't debuted yet, I can dig her up in advance.

Anyway, I will set up a record company and management company here in Japan in the future, and sooner or later I will find local artists. After all, I will be very busy in the future, and it is impossible to do everything by myself.

I have so many good songs, I sing them all by myself, I am too tired,
It is better to dig out a group of potential artists and let the artists make money for themselves.

After all, in the Japanese entertainment industry, the most profitable is always the artist company, not the artist itself.

Yasuko Sawaguchi can act and sing, if she hasn't debuted yet, she has to act first.

As long as the packaging is good and some good songs are given, Yasuko Sawaguchi may not be worse than Akina Nakamori.

Even if there is no such person in Osaka, I will still be a tourist.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang showed a bright smile.

Sure enough, as a time traveler, the thinking needs to be divergent and the pattern needs to be opened up.

I can't just think about doing everything by myself. The key is to build an elite team and let the team make money for me. This is the kingly way.

That's right, here in Japan, we will follow this step for the time being, focusing on the entertainment industry.

When you have money, you invest it in the country, first engage in the entertainment industry to make quick money, and then use the money to invest in industry.

As long as he takes his time, sooner or later he will transform from a great writer and singer to a great industrialist.

To prosper the country through industry, only by becoming a real great industrialist can this life be worthwhile!
