National Tide 1980

Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko's "close relationship" soon became known to everyone on location and became no secret.

Not for anything else, just because they are different at home and in Japan.

Don't look at Japanese sports tabloid reporters as they are like tarsal maggots. They are extremely persistent in getting gossipy news, and they are always following their targets day and night.

Moreover, many people in this industry seem to have developed ninja skills and are particularly good at concealing their whereabouts.

They often hide among trees, or hide in public parking lots, parks, or buildings with special disguises.

Some people even went so far as to lurk day and night, renting a room in an apartment far away from the window of a star's residence and setting up a telescope and infrared equipment, trying their best to take photos of celebrities' scandals.

But whether it's traditional ninjutsu or high-tech equipment, Ning Weimin's driver's uniform has nothing to do with it.

Wearing the driver's uniform is your job.

Even if Ning Weimin came out in a dignified manner, drove Matsumoto Keiko to and from there, and let these reporters take photos casually, it would be useless.

These reporters cannot stir up the public's gossip spirit with such photos.

To put it bluntly, this is the reason behind hiding in the city.

In an economically developed capitalist country like Japan, the more fair and reasonable contact is, the more difficult it is for Japanese journalists to make a fuss.

Even if you guessed it, it won't work without key evidence.

But that’s not the case in China. We are still trying to cross the river by feeling for the stones, and it doesn’t matter how upright we are.

First of all, the string of domestic class struggle is very tight.

No matter how friendly you are, as long as you are a foreigner entering the territory of the Republic, there are certain restrictions whether you work in a hotel, stay in a hotel, take a car or fly.

No matter where you go, there will be people from special departments who are transformed into staff around you, supervising you.

Especially for an internationally renowned actor like Matsumoto Keiko, her every move is under the official control.

A young man suddenly appeared next to him. He came and went with him. How could he just ignore him?

Even if the two of them don't have any obvious intimate behavior, or any words or deeds worthy of attention.

But the relevant personnel are still vigilant, and they must clarify Ning Weimin's identity and relationship with Matsumoto Keiko before saying anything.

So don't look at Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko, they still don't know what's going on.

But almost all the ways the two of them came into contact in the mainland, as well as Ning Weimin's old background, were investigated by Shanghai and Hainan.

It must be said that thanks to Ning Weimin, he has paid attention to the issue of his innocence from a very early age and has always implemented patriotic behavior in his work and business activities.

In particular, there have been several free donations of cultural relics, and they have also actively cooperated with the work of special departments.

Not only has Tannomiya Restaurant conducted in-depth cooperation with the special department, but even the safety work of the Tokyo branch has been handed over to the special department.

His personal situation is not difficult to ascertain, and it is easy to rule out the possibility that he has treasonous intentions or is endangering national interests.

Otherwise, someone might dig deeper into his personal side businesses in the capital.

If he really finds out something, Ning Weimin will inevitably have to confess some embarrassing experiences or publish some embarrassing accounts.

But what is more likely to happen to him is that in Shanghai, someone might knock on the hotel room door in the middle of the night to interfere with his "discussing scripts" with Keiko Matsumoto.

Although domestic laws do not easily punish foreigners for violating regulations when staying with other guests.

But as an overnight stayer, it was safe to summon him, a foreign citizen who had "made mistakes", using the relevant regulations.

As a comprador manager of a foreign company, why would he come to Shanghai to see his fiancée and go to Haoerli to experience the "folk misery" of steamed cabbage soup for a few days?

That's so embarrassing, it's such a big joke.

In short, as long as there is something worthy of special departments' attention in China, you should not think of any secrets.

Ning Weimin passed this test almost without noticing, which can only be said to be a bit stupid.

In addition, the timing and place where Ning Weimin appeared were different from those in Japan.

In Japan, Ning Weimin accompanied Matsumoto Keiko mostly to press conferences held in hotels, or to shooting locations of studios and advertising companies.

The only people I had several interactions with the crew of "李香兰" were the Japanese director Yoshitaro Nomura and the screenwriter Shinobu Hashimoto.

To put it bluntly, all the people I came into contact with were extremely professional technicians.

These people are of a higher level and have stricter mouths.

Seeing through, hearing through, and not speaking out are the minimum basic qualities.

But in China, Ning Weimin went to the location, which was an environment full of Jianghu atmosphere.

There are so many people with so many eyes, so what kind of gossip is there?

You know, although filming a movie is a very professional thing.

But to complete a movie, especially a large-scale movie, it requires a lot of unprofessional people.

For example, extras, logistics support, and crane and truck drivers, all of whom provide various services to the crew.

In addition, filming a movie is a long and tedious job. Even the staff who are regular with the crew will have a lot of time with no entertainment, so everyone can only have fun by chatting.

In addition to chatting about the film and television industry, it was also fun to ponder the personal life of the leading actress.

What needs to be pointed out in particular is that the people on the crew have been out of balance for a long time, and their living conditions are very limited. This is also an objective reality.

Usually, except for the director, assistant director, and leading actors, who can live in relatively good accommodation, most of the domestic film crews don't even have single rooms.

Let alone three or four people in a room, at the level of a factory worker, it is not unusual for six or seven people to live in a room.

This leads to the fact that the crew generally have no private space, and no one can hide their privacy.

So it is conceivable that except for people with extremely strong hearts, who would have the nerve to get up in the middle of the night and "dance with guns and sticks"?

Specific to the crew of "Li Xianglan", the ratio of men to women is extremely disparate, almost one-sided.

Who wouldn’t miss such a beautiful flower like Matsumoto Keiko? Keep an eye on me?

Although most of the time, this international celebrity is like a dragon but never sees the end. His assistant helps him eat and drink, and he never shows off easily.

But as long as you show up, who wouldn’t want to take a second look?

So how could a bee as big as Ning Weimin be able to hide next to Keiko Matsumoto when it came buzzing?

How can we make up a story without a story, let alone the two of them having stories themselves.

So naturally, Ning Weimin became a thorn in the side of countless people, and could be called a public enemy of the same sex.

"Who is this guy? Where did this pretty boy come from and show his courtesy for nothing?"

"I don't know him, he's got a fat head and a pink face. Doesn't he look like a good bird?"

The extras were whispering to each other, their eyes bright.

"Hey, where did this guy come from? Why did he follow 'Xiao Xia' into the RV?"

"Fuck, my heart is broken to pieces."

"What's the matter with you? That's my 'Xiao Xia'..."

"What? Yours? You deserve it, so I'll just..."

While the workers were still working, they became jealous of each other.

"Hey, he looks good. Where can we invite a special actor here? Which group is he from?"

"Don't worry, they must be Japanese and won't steal our role."

"Japanese? Brother, you are mistaken. Have you ever seen him bow..."

"Hey, you are right when you say that. Let me go, this guy is amazing, he is so close to the Japanese actress. That is Matsumoto Keiko, a more beautiful and famous star than Yamaguchi Momoe. "

"Isn't it because he is gifted? He is very developed locally..."

The Chinese actors are calm on the surface, but inside they are full of envy, jealousy and hatred.

"Ah, is this Matsumoto-san's new assistant? I'm so envious..."

"Baga, what kind of assistant? Don't you understand by the look on their faces when they talk?"

"Understand what?"

"What a simple-minded idiot. But this is good, it will save a lot of trouble..."

"Ah, could it be that...could it be that..."

Even some Japanese staff are caught in the disillusionment of their personal fantasies about idols.

Especially when Matsumoto Keiko showed up again, some attentive staff also discovered a shiny and valuable ring on her finger.

After this news spread, it became even more possible for the crew to confirm the tragic reality that the famous beauty finally had her owner.

It also makes many people jealous, thinking that others get both money and wealth.

In this way, the relationship between Matsumoto Keiko and Ning Weimin was no longer a secret, and it became known to everyone on location in just a few days.

However, these gossips within the crew did not matter to Ning Weimin.

On the contrary, he enjoyed the feeling of making people gnash their teeth behind their backs, but in front of them they could only smile.

For no other reason than to return home in fine clothes, he also wanted to let others know that I had found the most beautiful woman in Japan.

The more jealous others are, the happier he will be. Anyway, he is not afraid of others hitting him in the face.

First, he follows Matsumoto Keiko around every day and never goes anywhere, so he is safe.

Second, he is not afraid if someone dares to offend him in person.

Don’t forget, he is an investor’s investor. Who in the entire crew can offend him?

Of course, we have to admit that his cart of watermelons and corn also played a big role. After all, cannibals have short mouths.

It was also the first time for the junior staff of the crew to meet a boss as rich as Ning Weimin, who also took the initiative to think about everyone.

Once he knew that Ning Weimin paid for the two cars of stuff out of his own pocket, he felt jealous, but also a little bit more admired and respected.

Not to mention that Matsumoto Keiko herself soon regarded herself as a Chinese wife.

After her relationship with Ning Weimin was established, she became more concerned about China's treatment.

As a result, the Japanese management's attitude towards the Chinese staff has become much gentler, and even the treatment of extra performers and field workers has been significantly improved.

At this time, the staff of Huaxia, who had benefited a lot, felt somewhat proud of Ning Weimin.

I no longer feel inferior to the Japanese.

No matter what, Matsumoto Keiko is married to a Chinese, so what can a Japanese do, no matter how awesome they are?

Aren’t you just listening to Mr. Hua Xia’s advice? (End of chapter)
