National Tide 1980

There is a saying in Japan that men and women who often go out to eat barbecue together usually have a super friendship relationship.

People of the opposite sex who go to ramen restaurants in pairs usually have a romantic relationship with each other.

Because whether you eat barbecue or noodles, you cannot eat in a polite manner.

These things require a lot of movement to taste delicious.

Only by sharing the same spirit and without formality can we share these delicacies.

But in the actual life of Japanese society, even if they are friends of the same sex, there are very few partners who can dine together like this.

Because the Japanese live a very restricted life.

I am always worried that poor table manners will cause the other party to be stunned.

But Teresa Teng obviously doesn't care about this, she is a true-hearted person.

Don't look at the stage, she is radiant and beautiful.

But off the stage, she is actually quite approachable, without the airs and arrogance of a big star.

Even if she doesn't have close friendships with people, as long as she treats them as friends, she can treat them with her truest face without any pretense.

Compared with the table manners that the Japanese attach great importance to, she, a Hebei native born in Baodao, is actually more concerned about who she is sharing the table with.

She just hopes to share delicious food with her close friends and spend quality time at the dinner table together without restraint.

Just like this meal, the knot between each other was resolved and the misunderstanding was revealed. She no longer had any pretense and started talking and laughing happily with others again.

Not even afraid that Ning Weimin would be unhappy, he actually told Matsumoto Keiko, "Matsumoto-san, I heard President Ning say that you like eating bird's nests, right? But I have to advise you, if you like singing, care about the recording effect. If so, it’s better to put away the bird’s nests from Tan Palace before eating them. Although they are delicious, they are still full of fluff no matter how clean they are, which will make your voice unclear.”

Then she continued to order her favorite fried puffer fish without any scruples, smiling like a flower and eating her favorite food.

This look of a big eater with a big index finger is in sharp contrast to Keiko Matsumoto, who needs to control her food intake.

You know, most Japanese female stars eat as little as a cat. Occasionally they need to eat during filming, and they just make a few gestures.

Teresa Teng never cares about that.

When she wants to eat something, she can't wait for a moment. She can't wait to eat it immediately so that she can feel comfortable.

And it will never be wasted, it will all be eaten, and the disc operation will be resolutely carried out.

But strangely enough, Keiko Matsumoto, who always paid the most attention to etiquette, liked her like this.

Not long after I met her, I felt like we were old friends at first sight.

Why?

Just because Matsumoto Keiko reached this position in the Japanese entertainment industry is not easy, she has suffered a lot from the warmth and coldness of human beings.

Even if you become extremely popular in the end, you will still inevitably be jealous and stabbed in the back.

As a veteran of the entertainment industry, this Songzhu First Sister has already seen through all the different faces and treacherous world conditions in the entertainment industry.

Of course she knows that those who are good at sociability can talk and laugh happily and say bright words even if they are not close to each other, but most people are never sincere.

Seeing it too much will give her a sense of fakeness, which makes her very disgusted.

However, Teresa Teng is definitely not such a person. She is not so shrewd, but she is very innocent.

On the contrary, this just shows her unique naturalness, kindness and frankness, which makes people feel fresh and fond of her.

She likes Teresa Teng like this.

So although the film cooperation plan was not killed on the spot, both parties have only expressed certain intentions.

She still did not avoid suspicion and actively encouraged Teresa Teng.

"Teresa, with all due respect, as a woman, I can understand your difficulties and troubles. But I want to say that as a movie actor, sometimes the needs of the movie storyline can make people feel painful and full of resistance. After all, everyone has something in their heart that they don’t want to remember.”

"However, this is often the time when a person can improve his professional skills and most impress the audience and listeners with artistic tension. Isn't it right? Just like those songs that you have devoted everything to, don't they also have sadness and sadness? Just like That song "Repay", that song "Lover", and even the song "Tokyo No Flow" that helped you win the double crown, if it wasn't infused with your emotions, how could it have touched people's hearts so much?"

"What's more, you are now at the most beautiful age of a woman, and your singing career is close to completion. Don't you want your best side to be recorded forever through the medium of movies? People will grow old eventually. One day when I went there, I thought that at that time, you must have stopped caring about some things. However, it is so comforting to be able to see your younger self, your most beautiful self, in the movie..."

From Matsumoto Keiko's words, Teresa Teng could hear his appreciation for this song and himself, and at the same time, he also had some explanations for himself.

This simple yet considerate care moved her.

So looking into Keiko Matsumoto's eyes, it seemed like she had made a solemn agreement.

She nodded, "Matsumoto-san. Thank you. Thank you very much for the advice you gave me. I have to say, you are really amazing. Not only are you great at acting, but you also have rich acting experience. Especially your heart is so sharp. This is really amazing." It’s rare. I believe you are sincerely considering me. Well, if Taurus doesn’t object to me filming a movie, then I’ll basically have no problem.”

With that said, she turned to her boss Minoru Funaki.

Of course, Funaki Minoru could not object, this was exactly the result he was happy to see.

What's more, Ning Weimin is willing to spend such a large amount of money to invest in this movie, not to mention that Teresa Teng's salary will definitely not be a fraction.

In terms of movie soundtracks, he can also take over the distribution business, and he also has the opportunity to promote the actors signed by his company.

To him, this is also a combination punch.

So he said with a smile on his face, "No problem, no problem, as long as the filming cycle is not too long, we at Taurus Palace will definitely cooperate with us."

However, just when Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko were both delighted, Teresa Teng unexpectedly put forward an additional condition.

"Ah, by the way, I almost forgot, a friend of mine is also a director and has been helping me shoot music videos. I hope she can participate in this matter. Of course, this does not mean that the film is completely left to her I just want to take charge, I just hope to give her a more important position..."

"Well..."

Matsumoto Keiko looked embarrassed at first and hesitated.

Because as a filmmaker, she knows very well that film production is most afraid of the opinions of outsiders.

How much experience does a music video person have?

Although he is not asked to be the director, the important position is not given casually.

Even if you are an assistant director, you are taking risks, and God knows how much it will lower the quality of the film.

"Theresa, I don't think so either."

Funaki Minoru also clearly expressed his opposition.

Not only did he see Matsumoto Keiko's attitude, he was also unwilling to take unnecessary risks in the film.

No one can afford to lose in a film with such a huge investment.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to use the technique of exposing shortcomings, hoping to completely cut off Teresa Teng's unrealistic thoughts.

"Angelina Mai is your good friend, yes, but you can't always help her in such unreasonable ways. Just like the last time the company recorded an album, you went out of character and had to go to the store opened by this Miss Mai I went to the studio to record the Chinese version of "Tokyo's Flow" instead of recording in the usual studio. What was the result? Anyone who listens to this song will find that the sound quality is slightly inferior to other songs of the same period. Now you want her to participate in such an important movie. How can she have such experience? What if she messes up again? Let me tell you, if you want to support your friends, you might as well slowly find other opportunities. , this movie is not suitable. If you do this, it will be equivalent to making the investment of President Ning and Matsumoto-san take unnecessary risks, and it is too unfair to them..."

Then Teresa Teng couldn't help but look embarrassed.

Faced with such a well-documented accusation and a backstab from her boss, she was completely speechless.

For a moment, I was like a child who was caught cheating, completely forced into a moral blind corner.

But the good thing is that Ning Weimin called out "An Qiling-Mai" because of Zhou Mumin, which touched the memory in his subconscious.

He immediately thought of the gossip news he had read in his previous life, and thus remembered a person who was very important to Teresa Teng.

Teresa Teng was greatly hurt by her marriage change a few years ago.

It was at this time that a woman walked into her life.

Her name is Mai Lingzhi, a director from Hong Kong. Although she specializes in making low-budget films, she doesn't have many outstanding works.

But when Teresa Teng needed care the most, she stayed with her and gave her warmth.

The two have been inseparable and have been together for more than ten years.

Because Mai Lingzhi dressed like a man, Teresa Teng also invested in him to start a company and buy a house.

Let the paparazzi in Hong Kong City always view and report on their relationship with "lily love".

But the most unexpected thing was when Teresa Teng finally passed away in Chiang Mai.

Although Mai Lingzhi received a lot of Teresa Teng's inheritance according to Teresa Teng's will, all of it was returned to Teresa Teng's family, not even the villa they purchased together during her lifetime.

This shows your character!

"Theresa, is your friend named Mai Lingzhi?"

"Yeah, hey, how could it be? You also know her?"

Teresa Teng never expected that Ning Weimin would call her friend by his Chinese name.

After all, even many people in Taurus only know her best friend by her English name.

"Haha, I also read the reports from the paparazzi in Hong Kong. Since it is her, then let her be responsible for maintaining your image and taking stills for you. The position is the art director of the film, and her name will be on The title appears. As for the reward, ten thousand dollars a month, okay?"

Since it is really Mai Lingzhi, Ning Weimin can understand why Teresa Teng is willing to use resource replacement to pave the way for the other party.

He is also very open to adult beauty.

This is not only because he knows that Teresa Teng and Mai Lingzhi have an extremely deep relationship, but also because he believes in Mai Lingzhi's character and professionalism.

There is no way she would cheat Teresa Teng on such an important matter.

And this time Teresa Teng was even more overjoyed.

She never expected that Ning Weimin would take care of her good friend like this.

If she really has such an experience, her friend will have qualified qualifications in the Asian film industry, and the future will be much easier.

So he nodded in surprise and agreed, "Okay, okay, thank you very much, President Ning. If I tell her, she will be very happy. It's just..."

Having said this, she looked at Matsumoto Keiko and Funaki Minoru again.

Thinking of their attitudes just now, she was somewhat vague.

"It's just...is it really okay? Now I feel like I'm really forcing myself on others. Won't it bother a few of you? If it really affects the quality of the film, then I also..."

Unexpectedly, Ning Weimin had already made a plan in his mind.

"No problem. Miss Mai is your good friend after all. If she can also participate in the filming, you will be in a good mood. Working with a positive mood is also a guarantee for the film. And she knows you well enough. , her shooting experience will help you get into the role as soon as possible. She will definitely give you the most pertinent suggestions for your personal image and emotional interpretation. I believe that having her by your side will not only give you a sufficient sense of security, but also Take good care of you. This is also what I like to see. As for her personal development through this film and her willingness to learn film shooting from the group, I have no objection, but you have to promise that she will never be allowed to interfere. The crew's normal work. What do you think?"

Of course Teresa Teng agreed.

And after hearing what Ning Weimin said, Matsumoto Keiko and Funaki Minoru also discovered the benefits.

Even the initial worries can almost be put aside.

So when things got to this point, it really fell into place.

A movie plan with an investment of up to 2 billion yen was finalized.

To be honest, this meal was quite interesting.

First of all, from the perspective of Teresa Teng and Minoru Funaki, no one expected that they originally wanted to return the favor, but ended up owing a new favor.

They haven't found a way to repay the huge amount of money that Ning Weimin helped run the awards.

Well, today's meeting actually made Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko invest another two billion yen.

If you look at the financial return alone, their meal was a great deal.

The development and performance of Taurus Palace next year are enough to ensure that Teresa Teng will still be at the forefront next year.

Secondly, from the perspectives of Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko, the feelings are similar.

None of them expected that so many heartfelt words would come out of their mouths when they met for a meal.

They also finalized a huge investment in cooperation, but since the idea came from them, they also reached a consensus.

That is naturally full of expectations.

They feel excited and excited when they imagine what they can gain from such a film once it is successful.

In the end, there was a big joke in this meal, that is, Teresa Teng actually ordered all the fried puffer fish in this restaurant. (End of chapter)
