Rebirth of the courtyard, the start is 80s

Chapter 636 No matter how good the outside world is, it is not my own country
Seeing that Cao Zhiqiang was so easy to talk to, Yongshan Kozo finally let go of what he had been holding on to.

In fact, he came here in such a hurry today, saying that he was talking about three things, but in fact it was all a cover.

The main reason why Nagayama Kosan ran here without sleep at night was that Sayuri Yoshinaga was going to play the heroine.

In this, it doesn't matter if she is just Sayuri Yoshinaga, after all, she is just an actor, even if she is more famous, if she says she refuses, she refuses.

But Sayuri Yoshinaga's husband is not a vegetarian, so he is definitely not someone to offend.

Yongshan Kozan was afraid that Cao Zhiqiang would be young and energetic, and he didn't know the way to do it. He would jump up and refuse when he first heard that the heroine was replaced. That would be a bad thing.

Although Cao Zhiqiang is Chinese, Nagayama Kozo did not mean to look down on him.

On the contrary, Yongshan Kozo still admired Cao Zhiqiang, and even felt a little sympathetic to each other.

After all, let’s not talk about other things, just talking about TV dramas, Cao Zhiqiang’s point of view is very similar to Nagayama Kozo, that is, he doesn’t want to keep producing some traditional and old-fashioned dramas, but hopes to focus more on young people.

In this ever-changing era, those who win the young win the world, at least Kozo Nagayama thinks so.

It’s just that although Kozo Nagayama wanted to make a few urban dramas focusing on young people, he suffered from the lack of good scripts.

The appearance of Cao Zhiqiang made Yongshan Kozan's eyes shine, thinking that this is exactly what he needs.

What's even more rare is that Cao Zhiqiang's views on urban dramas coincide with those of Yongshan Kozo, so the process of chatting with Cao Zhiqiang made Yongshan Kozo feel like a spring breeze, very comfortable, and even always inspired. This is him chatting with other people not available at the time.

Therefore, Nagayama Kozo has never looked down on Cao Zhiqiang, and he very much hopes that Cao Zhiqiang can really stay in Japan and develop well.

It is precisely because of this mentality that Yongshan Kozan hopes to protect Cao Zhiqiang well, and does not want him to make any mistakes.

Now that Cao Zhiqiang is so aware of current affairs, Yongshan Kozo is completely relieved.

"By the way, Yongshan-sang." Cao Zhiqiang, who was eating breakfast, suddenly remembered something, "Don't you have a third thing?"

Kozo Nagayama, who was eating breakfast, was taken aback, quickly swallowed the sushi in his mouth, then clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I almost forgot.

That's right, the third thing is the music talent show you told me about last time. "

"You mean, the voice of Japan?" Cao Zhiqiang asked.

"That's right, that's right." Kozo Nagayama nodded, "That's right, the New Year is coming soon, and every New Year, that is, on December 31st, our major TV stations will launch a series of New Year's Eve programs.

However, in previous years, NHK's Kohaku Utakai was basically the only one. Although Fuji TV will also launch some related variety shows, such as funny shows, the ratings cannot be compared with the Kohaku Utakai at all.

You should be clear about this, right? "

Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "Of course I know this."

Yes, Cao Zhiqiang has also heard a little about the Japanese New Year's party.

Japan also celebrates the New Year, but their Chinese New Year is generally not Chinese New Year's Eve, but New Year's Eve.

It's just the Japanese New Year, not the Chinese lunar calendar, but the Gregorian calendar, which is the year of the Christian era.

Every year on January 31st of the Gregorian calendar is the Japanese New Year, and every year on December [-]st of the Gregorian calendar, major TV stations will launch something similar to the New Year's party, but the content of different TV stations is different.

The most famous, of course, is NHK's Red and White Song Club.

Since its birth in 1951, this show has become a well-known New Year's Eve show in Japan, similar to the Chinese Spring Festival Gala.

Once it comes to December 31 every year, basically every household in Japan will watch the Red and White Song Concert on NHK.

Especially in Japan in the 80s, the status of the Red and White Song Club was basically unmatched.

In the past, on December 31st, the ratings of the Red and White Song Club were basically maintained above 70.00%, and even 80.00% was not uncommon.

Although Fuji TV will launch related programs at that time, usually some funny programs, but in this case, most of them are coping scenes.

After all, in the 80s, no matter what other TV stations did, they couldn't hold the Red and White Song Concert, so it would be better to show it badly.

In the past, every time at this time, Fuji TV would put out a few funny variety shows to deal with things before the Hongbai Song Festival started. way to attract viewers.

Needless to say, this method is really effective, and it is somewhat appreciated by some people.

However, when Cao Zhiqiang was drinking and chatting with Yongshan Kozo before, he once talked about a talent show, which is similar to the later "Voice of China".

As soon as Yongshan Kosan heard it, he immediately fell in love, so he decided to do it.

It's just that he belongs to the TV drama production center, not the production of variety shows, so he chatted with related colleagues, hoping to try the show as a special Spring Festival program during the Spring Festival.

If it works, it will be done formally in the future. If it doesn’t work, anyway, Fuji TV’s Spring Festival shows are always accompanied by running, and there is no loss if it fails.

It is easy to choose a mentor, but it is not easy to find the personnel who participate in the draft.

Although the purpose of this show is that everyone participates, no matter if it is a professional singer or a non-professional singer, they will be on the show if they want to, and then they will be selected round after round, and finally will be officially on the show at the finals on the day of the Spring Festival.

But now it is mid-December, if the draft is done step by step, the time will be too late.

So the best way is to find some capable singers to participate in the show.

But really capable singers will be invited to the Red and White Song Concert during the New Year, and they will go to Fuji TV to participate in a talent show.

Then the person in charge of the variety show production center of Fuji TV suddenly remembered that Nagayama Kozo was very familiar with the recently popular singer Aoizumi Morinaka, so he asked Nagayama Kozo to discuss with Aoizumi Morinaka, that is, Cao Zhiqiang, and let Cao Zhiqiang participate That show, as a draft pick.

Cao Zhiqiang's identity as a Chinese is not a secret in the eyes of interested people, so although Cao Zhiqiang's songs are very popular now, there is a high probability that he will not be invited to the Hongbai Song Festival, at least not this year.

In fact, the invitation letter for the Red and White Song Festival is usually made one month in advance and sent to the invitees, and it will not exceed half a month at the latest.

Cao Zhiqiang has not yet received the invitation letter for the Red and White Song Festival, and there is a high probability that he will not participate.

As for why Cao Zhiqiang didn't receive the invitation letter, it's not difficult. After all, the Red and White Song Festival is basically routine at this time, and the list of invitees will be circulated among the major TV stations in the morning.

In this way, other TV stations will know the name on the list, and they will not invite that person to come to the program on their home TV station.

"This matter is quite embarrassing." Yongshan Kozo said embarrassingly, "But this is my colleague's request, and I will feel sorry if I don't say it, but you don't have to worry, it's not compulsory, just let me ask you what you mean .”

Speaking of this, Yongshan Kozo carefully asked: "So, Cao Sang, are you interested in participating in the draft of this show? If you participate, I believe the final champion must be you!"

Cao Zhiqiang said angrily, "Do you think I care about this?"

Yongshan Kozan was taken aback, then smiled and said: "That's right, you seem to... don't care too much."

Cao Zhiqiang shook his head, put down his chopsticks and said, "Yongshan-sang, you are my friend. I should help you because you asked me to, but before the end of this month, I will go back to my hometown in China to reunite with my family. By the way, I will be there I won't be in Japan for New Year's Eve, so I really have no power to do your favor."

"Yeah?" Yong Shangeng opened his mouth three times, "Cao Sang is going back to China?"

"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "I am originally Chinese, and I still have relatives over there. It will be the end of the year soon, so of course I have to go back."

"I should go back and have a look." Yongshan Kozo nodded, "Then when will you come back?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "According to our rules, it must be after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Yongshan Kozo frowned and said, "The fifteenth day of the first lunar month, what date is that in the Western calendar?"

Cao Zhiqiang thought for a while and said, "Let me do the math. The fifteenth day of the first lunar month should be February 2th in the Western calendar next year."

Yongshan Kosan was taken aback: "It's been more than a month, is it taking so long to return to China?"

Cao Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Of course, I have a lot of things to do over there. It is impossible to live in Japan forever."

Kozo Nagayama sighed and said, "It would be great if you could become a Japanese citizen."

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and said nothing.

Leaving aside how difficult it is to obtain Dongying nationality at this time, it is said that he can join, and Cao Zhiqiang will not join Japan.

Not only is it a matter of national sentiment, even if it is about the future, Cao Zhiqiang will not join a country that has already sunk down.

In fact, many people have a misunderstanding, that is, the Japanese economy began to decline after 1985, and it fell into a slump after the economic bubble burst.

But that's not the case.

In fact, as early as the late 70s, after 1974 to be precise, Japan's economy was already on the decline, and it was no longer a period of high-speed growth.

For example, Japan's real GDP growth rate last year was only 3.1%, which can be said to be quite sluggish.

If there is no accident, and according to the history of Cao Zhiqiang’s previous life, then by the end of 1983, Japan’s real GDP growth rate should be even lower, only 2.3%.

In other words, in fact, the Japanese economy during this period has already experienced problems and has already entered an era of low growth.

It's just slightly better than the growth rate of a few tenths after 1991.

The Japanese economy is more complicated to talk about, so I won't talk about it.

It can be said that at this time in Japan, although the flowers are blooming like a brocade, it is actually the sunset.

Moreover, Japan is a very conservative country with serious xenophobia. Cao Zhiqiang, a mainlander who wants to develop here, has absolutely no real future.

No matter how powerful and talented he is, at best he can become a singer with a little money here, and it is absolutely impossible to go further.

But it's different in the country.

Although the country looks very poor now, the sun is rising at seven or eight o'clock.

And the more this time, the more domestic opportunities.

Because when it was first opened, there were blue oceans everywhere and opportunities everywhere. Cao Zhiqiang could find something to do casually, and he could become a billionaire in the future.

Even if you live in a house, after 30 years, you can become a real estate uncle. When the house price rises, you can sell it casually and earn more than a dozen small goals. That's still easy.

If you want to go further, you can also do trade.

Since the domestic communication and transportation are not developed enough at present, the goods from the north and the south are so upside down. If you stick to it, it will not be far away. In the late 90s, you can easily achieve a few small goals.

Even if you don't do business, just copy books and sing songs casually, you can make more money in China than in Japan at this time.

As for the price of a tape in China, the unit price is not as good as in Japan, but the population base is large.

In China, singer A Qiang, one of Cao Zhiqiang's vests, has sold 400 million albums. If converted into Japanese yen, it is definitely not less than what he earns in Japan.

What's more, Cao Zhiqiang has more ways to make money than these, and he can even pursue more.

Even if it's too vulgar to talk about money, let's talk about it more realistically.

At least in China, except for very few cases, Cao Zhiqiang is basically nothing to be afraid of.

Cao Zhiqiang's fundamentals are all in the country, and the relationship is also in the country. As long as he doesn't play dead in the future, he doesn't have to worry about anything in the country.

What's more, Cao Zhiqiang continued to pluck the wool of the system, through his own domestic milk technology, based on the domestic background, and the current international situation. After the country has various international advanced technologies 30 years in advance, so many variables add up. The future is hard to say.

It is very likely that the domestic economy will be able to exert its strength in advance without waiting until after 2000.

Especially infrastructure and the like, the more it is done when the economic foundation is poor, the better the effect will be.

Therefore, no matter how good the outside world is, it is not our own country.

At least, you don't have to worry about being angry or frightened at home, but it's hard to say abroad.

Don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about the incident of Yoshinaga Sayuri blatantly stealing the role.

Here in Japan, because of Sayuri Yoshinaga's status and her husband's power, Cao Zhiqiang was obviously very angry, but he could only greet her with a smile, so that people would feel that he was flattering.

But obviously the script was written by Cao Zhiqiang, and it is said that he is the one who has the most say in casting.

However, this is not the case. In Japan, how can you, a foreigner who writes a book, be able to stand up to the local bigwigs?

If someone wants to block you as a foreigner, it's just a matter of one sentence.

If this was in China, with Cao Zhiqiang's current status, who in the showbiz would dare to treat Cao Zhiqiang like this?
Let's put it this way, in China, Cao Zhiqiang is a proper uncle.

But in Japan, Cao Zhiqiang had to hide in a small building and pretend to be low-key.

Even bluefin tuna and black sea caviar, he dare not eat it in Japan.

If it wasn't for money, if it wasn't for the lie of that mysterious organization, he wouldn't bother to come to Japan to pretend to be his grandson.

Now, he has basically done almost all the things he should do here in Japan, so naturally it is time to go back.
