The literary era since 1979

"Will you come back and dismantle it again?"

Fangyan returned to the hotel from Shochiku, sat on the edge of the bed and tore open the exquisite packaging.

Inside was a high-end suit, complete with a tie and pocket square.

I stood in front of the mirror and tried it on. One inch more would make it look bigger, and one inch less would make it look smaller. The size is perfect, as if it was tailor-made for me.

"How does Qingzi know my waist and chest measurements in such detail?"

While Fangyan was talking to himself, he put on the Omega watch that Kurihara Komaki gave him.

Looking at myself in the mirror, the more I looked, the weirder it seemed to me. I instantly felt like a gigolo being kept by Kurihara Komaki and Matsuzaka Keiko.

"Forget it, this is also their good intention."

After thinking about it, Fangyan finally decided to wear this outfit to attend the Red and White Songs Festival 6 days later.

Before that, Kurihara Komaki accompanied him to visit several properties in Shibuya, Shinjuku, Ginza and other places in Tokyo.

Almost every place is located in the business center, with prosperous businesses around it and all kinds of supporting facilities such as primary schools, landscapes, shopping malls, hospitals, etc.

The only drawback is that the design is monotonous, with all the fine decoration looking the same, and the furniture, appliances and daily necessities are not complete.

Fangyan selected a high-end apartment in Shibuya and planned to decorate it well before returning home so that it would be used as a temporary residence in the future.

While I was decorating the house, time flew by unknowingly and soon it was December 12st.

Fang Yan, Okuyama Rong, Kurihara Komaki and others appeared at the NHK Concert Hall as members of Matsuzaka Keiko's support club.

The staff were busy, following the director's instructions, the lighting team checked the lighting equipment, and the cameraman fine-tuned the camera position...

The judges of the Red and White Songs Contest arrive one after another, and the faces are basically different every year, except for three fixed seats.

They are the president of NHK, the heroine of NHK's best TV series of the year, and the playwrights or composers who have collaborated with NHK.

The actress who won the Japan Broadcasting Association's Best TV Drama Award this year is also a familiar face of the dialect, Yuko Tanaka.

"Hey, Fangyan-san?!"

"Ms. Yuko, long time no see."

"Yeah, it's been a while, I've been looking forward to seeing you again."

Yuko Tanaka was wearing a kimono, with bright white teeth and watery eyes.

Fangyan greeted everyone with a smile and exchanged pleasantries with each other.

Previously, in order to promote the novel and movie "That Mountain, That Man, That Dog", he frequently accepted interviews from NHK TV station.

I had met NHK President Keiji Shima several times, so at his invitation, I went to the backstage lounge.

Along the way, you can see Japanese singers everywhere, including Hiromi Iwasaki, Seiko Matsuda, Kozo Murashita, Hibari Misora...

"Nice to meet you."

Fangyan grinned, and suddenly a delicate and beautiful woman with a "pitiful and delicate" appearance appeared in his sight.

Akina Nakamori couldn't help but take a few more glances, but when his eyes fell on her, she was like a thief caught in the act. She was too shy to look up and bowed deeply, "Hello, Fangyan-san!"

"Ms. Nakamori, it's nice to meet you."

Fangyan took the initiative to shake hands, but she covered her mouth with her hand, and the corners of her mouth were rising more and more.

Kurihara Komaki frowned. How could an “idol” be so rude in front of a great writer?
Akina Nakamori also realized her problem and hurriedly clarified: "I have only seen Fangyan-san in newspapers and on TV before, and I am not familiar with your face. Today is the first time we meet. Arnold, Arnold, you are really very handsome, even more handsome than on TV..."

"Thank you." Fangyan smiled, "You are also a girl with a unique personality."

The moment Akina Nakamori shook hands, she narrowed her eyes shyly and revealed a satisfied and sweet smile.

"Kakaka!"

Flashes flashed, and the NHK reporter following behind took pictures of the scene.

The corridor in the camera was crowded with people, and more and more people were surrounding Dao Guici and Fangyan, making it very lively.

The noisy sound gradually spread into the dressing room where Deng Liyun was.

Minoru Funaki, the agent who brought Teresa Teresa to the Japanese music scene, opened the door and checked what was happening outside.

Deng Lijun cast a questioning look, "What's going on? Is that the singing girl?"

Funaki Minoru shook his head and said, "No, it's your fellow Chinese, Fangyanjun."

"Is he the world-renowned writer?"

Deng Liyun stood up suddenly, walked to the door and looked out, "It's really him!"

"Besides him, the only Chinese man who is so popular in Japan is probably Cheng Long..."

Minoru Funaki suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing, thinking back to the time when Teresa Teng was in love with Jacky Cheung.

Deng Lijun didn't care and stared at Fangyan closely:
"Not only in Japan, but also in Taiwan, even though his novels were banned from distribution, they became more popular the more they were banned."

"Yinmeng told me that many people in the literary world, like her, secretly discussed, analyzed and studied his works. Since the Republic of China, there has been no 'all-rounder' like him who is proficient in academics, poetry, novels, dramas, essays, and screenwriting."

“Maybe you missed one.”

Funaki Minoru gave a reminder.

"what?"

Teresa Teresa looked confused.

"Of course, writing lyrics!"

Funaki Minoru shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Have you forgotten that the song "Sunset Song" by Keiko Matsuzaka, which beat your "Repayment" and won the Kanto and Kansai Cable Broadcast Awards, was written by Fangyanjun."

"Yes, the lyrics of "Sunset Song" are really well written." Teresa Teng couldn't help but sigh.

"As far as I know, 'Sunset Song' was tailor-made for Keiko Matsuzaka by Fangyanjun, and the two hit singles 'Sakura Tree Love' and 'Jealous', which are still on the Oricon charts, were also written by him."

Funaki Minoru was extremely jealous, "It can be said that Matsuzaka Keiko's current success is entirely due to Fangyan-kun's talent!"

Deng Lijun peered at Fangyan from afar through the gap in the crowd. She was in a trance for a moment, and inexplicably remembered what Hu Yinmeng said to her:

I wish one day I could make friends through writing in dialect!

With this thought in mind, he turned to look at Funaki Minoru and said, "Let's go out and meet him!"

"See you! I must see you!"

Funaki Minoru firmly supported it.

No matter what, we have to find a way to get Fangyan to write a song for Teresa Teng! The requirements are not high, as long as it is no less than "Sunset Song"!
So the two of them walked out of the dressing room, and Fangyan happened to come towards them, waving his hand and calling him.

Without waiting for Deng Lijun to introduce herself, Fang Yan smiled and extended his hand, "Ms. Deng Lijun, I didn't expect to see you here."

Kurihara Komaki looked at him on the left, and then at Deng Liyun on the right. She had short hair, wore a black off-shoulder dress, showing her beautiful collarbone, and wore round earrings on her ears. She looked delicate and elegant. At this moment, a look of surprise appeared on her face:
"Mr. Fang, do you know me?" (End of this chapter)
