Hong Kong Entertainment: The King of Kung Fu

Chapter 35 Heading to the Neon Country

Chen Long and Deng Lijun met four years in advance, but there was no spark.

Because Chen Long was just Yang Ye's follower now, Deng Lijun shook hands with him politely, and then her attention was entirely on Yang Ye.

Yang Ye gave Deng Lijun a harmonica necklace to congratulate her on winning the "Japanese Record Awards New Singer Award".

Competition in the Japanese music scene is very fierce. More than 700 new artists emerge each year and release songs. However, this Newcomer Award is only given to five singers every year. As a foreigner, Deng Lijun can win this award, which shows how awesome she is.

However, Teresa Teng is not the first Chinese singer to win the Newcomer Award. Chen Meiling, who was born in Hong Kong, won this award a year earlier. Chen Meiling has a mouth that is more Japanese than Japanese. She was popular in Japan during her peak period. Even national idol Momoe Yamaguchi feels pressured by the popularity.Later Prime Minister Abe was her licking dog when he was young.

Yang Ye showed Deng Lijun his creative achievements. He sang a song "Original":
我 张开 一 双 翅膀
Carrying a hope

Flying over a strange city

去 到 我 的 地方

在 旷野 中 嗅到 芬芳

从 泥土 里 摄取 营养

为了 吐丝 蚕儿 吃 桑叶
为了 播种 花儿 要 开放

我 走 过 丛林山岗

也 走 过 白雪茫茫

看到 了 山川 的 风貌
也 听到 大地 在 成长
……

Yang Ye explained: "This song is inspired by the posthumous work "Original Countryman" by Taiwanese native writer Zhong Lihe. "Original Country" means China. During the Japanese occupation, the Japanese rulers did not allow the word "Chinese" to appear in Taiwan. , so Taiwanese people call their compatriots from mainland China native people.”

Teresa Teng said: "This novel is very famous. I have read it. It's really hard for you, a Hong Kong person, to know about Taiwanese local writers."

Yang Ye scratched his head and said with a smile: "I only found out about this book because I was collecting information for writing songs."

Next, Yang Ye sang another song "Descendants of the Dragon". This song later became widely circulated because of Wang Leehom's cover.

Interestingly, before this, the Chinese did not call themselves "descendants of the dragon."

Since the beginning of this song, the saying "descendants of the dragon" has been accepted by everyone.

People who don't know the inside story think that this has been the case since ancient times.

Yang Ye said: "I am going to invite a few influential musicians to collaborate and record an album. The name of this album is..."Chinese Folk Songs"."

Yang Ye was committed to releasing this "Chinese Folk Song" before Taiwan's folk song movement was launched, not just to steal the limelight.

It's because, along with the rise of Taiwanese folk songs, there is also Taiwan's local consciousness.

After hearing this, Lijun Teng said: "I have no problem. Your work is so excellent, of course I am willing to sing it. But for others, it involves copyright issues, which may not be easy to deal with, right?"

Deng Lijun's meaning is very simple. They are in the same company, so it is easy to operate, but it is more troublesome for others.

Yang Ye said: "We don't need to worry about this issue. Just let Zheng Donghan talk about it. That's what he does."

"Then after we've agreed, just let me know about the recording. Can I just sing this song "Original"? I like it so much!"

Yang Yexin said, this is your song. If you don’t sing it, who will sing it?
……

The next day, Yang Ye took Chen Long and Du Qifeng to Jujin Hospital in Shibuya to consult about double eyelid plastic surgery.

They had already inquired before. This hospital is very authoritative. Many Japanese celebrities had their double eyelids cut here.

Yang Ye was quite cautious about Chen Long's plastic surgery. If the plastic surgery failed, this cash cow would be greatly reduced, so he went to the hospital for consultation in person.

Moreover, Chen Long and Du Qifeng did not understand Japanese, so he could only come as a translator.

They found some kind of authoritative expert. The old guy carefully measured the width of Chen Long's upper eyelids with a ruler, nodded with satisfaction, and chattered a lot.Chen Long looked at Yang Ye in confusion, and Yang Ye translated: "This little Riben said that your eyes are very long and your upper eyelids are wide, so the result must be very good."

Chen Long was overjoyed, and both parties made an appointment for surgery two days later.

They had just come out of the plastic surgery department when they unexpectedly saw a long-haired beauty and an old man with some gray hair, sitting on chairs in the aisle, probably queuing up.

"Miss Hu?"

"Young Master Yang?"

"Why did you come to Japan?"

"I listened to your opinion and came to cut my double eyelids. This is my old uncle."

Yang Ye greeted the old man and said with a smile: "I heard that this hospital is quite authoritative."

"Yes, my aunt said that many Japanese porn stars have their surgery done at this hospital. Are you here too for a double eyelid surgery?"

Yang Ye blinked his eyes and thought to himself, "You are blind. Do I need to be cut?"
Hu Yinmeng covered her mouth and laughed, pointed at Chen Long and said, "That's why your friend is going to be cut."

When Chen Long saw the beauty, he felt fond of her. He extended his hand to Hu Yinmeng and said, "Hello, Miss Hu. My name is Chen Long. I met you in Taiwan."

Hu Yinmeng shook hands with him and said with a smile: "I know you, you are the drunkard. Your "Shaolin Temple" is so popular in Taipei. There is a long queue at the entrance of the theater, and you can't even squeeze in." "

Chen Long was yearning for it and thought, when will I be able to do this as a starring role?

He became very looking forward to the movie "Drunken Master" in which he was about to star.

……

Two days later, Chen Long's double eyelid surgery was successful and he was sent to the ward. He needed to stay for ten days before being discharged.

Yang Ye left Du Qifeng and Ono Keiko to take care of him and left.

Chen Long was very moved when he saw Yang Ye leaving two people to take care of him. In fact, Yang Ye had other things to do and it was inconvenient to take Du Qifeng with him, so he simply left him to take care of Chen Long.

However, Du Qifeng did not speak Japanese, so Yang Ye had to keep Ono Keiko, who at least knew a few simple Chinese sentences.

After leaving Jujin Hospital, Yang Ye came alone to the Chinese Embassy in Japan in Motoazabu, Minato District, Tokyo.

After showing his ID card, Yang Ye told the staff that he wanted to see Chen Chu, the ambassador to Japan.

The staff saw that the visitor was a Hong Kong compatriot and did not dare to neglect him. They invited him to the reception room for tea and told him that Ambassador Chen was in a meeting and would inform him later. As for whether the ambassador saw him, he did not know.

An hour later, Yang Ye successfully met Ambassador Chen, an old man with gray hair, black-rimmed glasses and a friendly face.

Yang Ye is just an ordinary Hong Kong citizen. What qualifications do he have to meet the ambassador to Japan?

This is naturally Xia Meng's role.

Ambassador Chen shook hands with Yang Ye cordially: "Comrade Xiao Yang, friends from the domestic literary and art circles told me that you and Ms. Xia Meng produced a movie called "Shaolin Temple", which not only promoted Chinese culture, but also achieved great success in Southeast Asia. , what a joy to congratulate!”

Yang Ye said: "Thank you very much. This time when I come to Japan, I also brought a copy of the movie. Please be sure to watch this movie with me."

"That's great. I'm worried that I can't see it. Are you here to promote your movie?"

"That's right. But I have another thing that I want to ask you for help with."

"But it doesn't matter."

"I heard that 40 years ago, the great monk Zong Daochen of Japan went to China and devoted himself to practicing Shaolin Zen martial arts. After the war, Zong Daochen returned to Japan, summarized the system he had learned in China, and created 25 systems of three methods, six hundred Dozens of techniques of Ribon Shaolin Temple boxing were opened to teach disciples. So far, there are millions of disciples all over Ribon.”

"I have also learned Shaolin boxing under the guidance of a famous master. This time I came to Tokyo just to learn from the Riben Shaolin boxing. Unfortunately, I am just an unknown person and cannot meet Zong Daochen. Even if I did, he is a great master of his generation. They won’t take me seriously. I have no choice but to meet Ambassador Chen. Please mediate to promote this martial arts exchange."
