Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Seeing Cao Zhiqiang act so quickly, Yu Deli was also stunned.

After all, according to his idea, he should first talk to Cao Zhiqiang about the drama and teach him what to do next.

At least, you should first tell Cao Zhiqiang about the works of Zuoda Masashi, so that Cao Zhiqiang will not show his cowardice later.

After all, Cao Zhiqiang said before that he didn't know Masashi Zuoda, and he didn't even know his real works.

It would be ugly if he was faked as a groupie and exposed.

But there was no use regretting it at this time. In such a moment of confusion, Cao Zhiqiang almost walked up to the three people.

Thinking of this, Yu Deli quickly stood up and followed quickly, just to adapt to the situation and make amends.

Just when Yu Deli came behind Cao Zhiqiang, Cao Zhiqiang had already spoken to Masashi Zuotian with a smile, and he still spoke in Japanese with a serious Tokyo accent:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Masashi Sauda?"

As soon as Cao Zhiqiang's fluent Japanese came out, everyone was instantly shocked, including Cao Zhiqiang.

Well, Cao Zhiqiang’s original intention was not to speak Japanese, but maybe because of his system skills, when he realized that the other person was Japanese, he subconsciously spoke Japanese as soon as he went up to talk to the other person.

Who made his Japanese proficient almost like his native language?

This situation is like a Chinese in the United States who usually speaks English to others, but suddenly meets a fellow countryman, or knows that the other person is a fellow countryman, and then goes up to talk to the person, and subconsciously speaks Chinese.

The actual situation is of course more complicated. To put it simply, Cao Zhiqiang's foreign language skills are acquired overnight and are directly given by the system. Although they are easy to use, they lack the accumulation of time and inevitably have some controllability problems.

In short, it is similar to Cao Zhiqiang who has always turned on the automatic translation software, talking to people and talking to ghosts.

After a brief silence, Zuotian Masashi was the first to react. He subconsciously stood up and bowed in one breath, and then asked Cao Zhiqiang doubtfully in Japanese: "Yes, I am Zuotian Masashi. Who are you?"

At this time, Cao Zhiqiang also came to his senses. After blinking, he forcibly resisted the urge to speak Japanese and changed the automatic translation to manual translation.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang deliberately scratched his head, showing an embarrassed look, and then said in Chinese: "Sorry, I am studying Japanese by myself recently. I heard that you are Mr. Masashi Sabota from Japan, so I couldn't help showing off.

Fan.

Actually, I know a few words in Japanese, but you speak so fast, I, I can't understand you.

So, can you speak in Chinese?"

Upon hearing this, Zuotian Masashi was stunned for a moment, but he quickly nodded with a smile and said in weird Chinese: "Yes, it's okay."

At this time, both Zuotian Masashi's companions and Yu Deli also exhaled and showed their original expressions.

Also, during this period, Chinese people could speak a foreign language proficiently, which was quite impressive.

Of course it’s best if you can speak English. If you don’t know English, being able to speak Japanese is also a very powerful high-end talent.

I haven't seen the movie "Wrangler" released last year. In it, even though Lao Xu has been herding cattle for many years, he still speaks fluent English when he sees a foreigner, which immediately shocked everyone.

Therefore, in this era, knowing a foreign language is a super skill to show off and slap someone in the face.

As for how you, a street kid, can learn foreign languages, that is not a problem.

Nowadays, if you want to speak a small language like Czech, that's it, but if you want to speak English, Japanese, French, etc., there are self-study books everywhere. It is not difficult to learn a foreign language by yourself, but it is difficult to say whether you can learn it well.

Self-taught foreign languages ​​are also talked about in this era, and there are legends of self-taught people everywhere.

For example, the guy who later founded New Oriental learned English mainly by himself.

However, Cao Zhiqiang was cautious and did not want to show off too early, especially before CCTV won the championship. He did not want to reveal too much too early.

Especially since his Japanese is too fluent, that's fine with others, but Masashi Zuoda, as a neon person, can definitely tell whether Cao Zhiqiang's Japanese is authentic or not.

In short, after Cao Zhiqiang's "Japanese greeting" and his self-confidence that he was "excellent", the atmosphere between the two parties became better.

After all, no one hates a promising young man who loves learning foreign languages ​​at any time, even if he is a star-struck person.

Well, the word fan is not yet popular in this era, but groupies have already appeared, and of course they came from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Just when Cao Zhiqiang followed the routine and asked Zuotian Masashi for an autograph in Chinese, and Zuotian Masashi also signed Cao Zhiqiang's small book, Yu Deli, who also came to his senses, immediately started assisting.

Yu Deli first attacked Masashi Zuotian, saying how great it was that he held a concert the year before last, and he was also present.

Then, through Zuotian Masazhi, Yu Deli slowly directed the topic to the other two people, namely Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu.

Next, Cao Zhiqiang and Yu Deli cooperated with each other. After learning that the two people were from the editor-in-chief of CCTV, they were immediately overjoyed. Then they waved their hands boldly and said that they were happy today. He invited this meal, and no one else

Don't compete with him!

Just when Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu both declined, Yu Deli came over again to cooperate.

Yu Deli was a man of culture, and he was very literate when he spoke. Why should we have known each other before when we meet? We have come thousands of miles to meet each other because of fate. There is no such thing as knowing you anywhere in the world, etc.

This random shooting and talking, coupled with Cao Zhiqiang's pretentious and bold manner, immediately made the three of Chen Hanyuan, Dai Weiyu and Zuotian Masashi at a loss, and they reluctantly agreed to eat at the same table with Cao Zhiqiang and Yu Deli.

.

In this way, in a friendly atmosphere between both parties, Cao Zhiqiang and Yu Deli came to Zuotian Masazhi's table and sat down.

At the same time, Cao Zhiqiang also asked the waiter to bring all the dishes on his table that had not been touched before, and remove the ones that had been touched.

As for those who haven’t been served yet, please come to this table after the food is served.

Not only that, Cao Zhiqiang also asked Chen Hanyuan, Dai Weiyu and Zuotian Masazhi to order whatever they wanted.

Faced with this kind of enthusiasm, all three of them were embarrassed, including Masashi Sabota, a Japanese, and they all said that's enough, no more.

But Cao Zhiqiang didn't finish, and ordered a steak, a red wine foie gras, a fried shrimp ball, a vegetable salad, and a bottle of red wine for each of Chen Hanyuan, Dai Weiyu, and Zuotian Masashi.

I also ordered a lot of other desserts, fruits, etc.

After this pass, the consumption limit immediately increased to two hundred yuan.

Not to mention people like Chen Hanyuan, even the instigator Yu Deli took a breath when he heard this consumption limit.

A meal of two hundred yuan is not unheard of in the capital city of this era, but it is definitely rare. It is usually reserved for high-ranking cadres to have a big meal.

But as for Cao Zhiqiang, he just met a few of them by chance and ordered so many expensive dishes so boldly.

This made people like Chen Hanyuan seem a little uneasy.

Fortunately, Yu Deli reacted quickly and immediately started bragging about Cao Zhiqiang's identity and how rich he was.

Needless to say, when Director Chen and others learned about Cao Zhiqiang's pen name Qiangzi, they immediately admired him for a long time and began to feel relieved.

Indeed, if it is Qiangzi, the emerging poet who has been in the limelight recently, then he is indeed rich.

Others don't know it, but they belong to the cultural circle and know something about publishing books.

Even if they didn't expect that Cao Zhiqiang was playing a royalty-sharing model with others, but based on the normal buyout model of how much a line of poetry costs, their income would not be small.

After all, publishing books during this period was also based on sales. If a book sold well, the author would often be given a big red envelope and a large sum of money as a bonus.

Therefore, both Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu regard Cao Zhiqiang as a young poet who suddenly became rich.

It is within the normal understanding for such young people who suddenly become rich to spend money lavishly.

Although at the beginning, both Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu acted a little reserved and spoke more cautiously.

But Yu Deli is good at dancing and is a veteran in such situations, especially when it comes to persuading people to drink. He is not even comparable to Cao Zhiqiang.

By the time Yu Deli had made a few rounds of drinking orders that literati love to play, everyone had already drunk five times without knowing it, and each person drank an average of five glasses of red wine.

After that, the atmosphere became lively. Not only did they start calling each other brothers, but they also started to lose control of their mouths.

Originally, Yu Deli's idea was just to deepen each other's feelings through drinking, and he didn't mean to use clichés.

But people are different. Some people can't hold back their words after drinking too much, and even vomit out without you asking.

For example, Masashi Sabota, the youngest, has the worst drinking ability. After only drinking five glasses of red wine, his face was red and he was in a state of confusion.

Next, he began to tell himself why he was here and vomited his bitterness.

It turned out that he came here this time to discuss the copyright issue of a movie with Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu.

I think back then, Masashi Sauda and his father were very ambitious and borrowed money to shoot a lot of material here to make a Sino-Japanese documentary film.

Originally this was a Sino-Japanese co-production, but later on, it was basically Zuoda and his son who paid for the filming, and China did not contribute much money. Therefore, the copyright of this film is actually in the hands of Masashi Saoda, and this film was planned from the beginning.

It was released in Japan and was filmed for Japanese people.

Later, this documentary film was released in Japan in 1981, and its name was "Yangtze River", or "Picture of the Yangtze River".

Originally, Masashi Sauda wanted to become an instant hit with this documentary.

Who knew that this documentary describing the customs along the Yangtze River in China would not be released smoothly in Japan, and the box office was very poor.

Of the 2.8 billion filming funds, only 500 million was recovered in total, not counting loan interest!

This situation resulted in Masashi Zuoda being heavily in debt and in a very embarrassing situation.

What a coincidence that China's CCTV was inspired by that movie and wanted to make a TV series of documentaries called "Talk about the Yangtze River", and the people responsible for this project were Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu.

However, filming this documentary requires a lot of money, so Chen Hanyuan took a clever trick and shot more humanistic scenes on the shore.

However, he did not want to take some of the more expensive and laborious aerial shots, as well as some large-scale wide-angle shots, by himself. He just wanted to use clips from Masashi Sauda's documentary film "The Yangtze River" as a reference.

Since the Japanese version of the film documentary "Yangtze River" has been released in Japan, and the recent situation between China and Japan is also in a honeymoon period, Chen Hanyuan contacted Masashi Sauda and asked him to discuss "borrowing" clips from the film.

Masashi Zuoda is currently in debt due to the filming of the "Yangtze River" documentary, so he also hopes to sell his documentary at a good price, preferably to be released in China and make more money, so

That's why Bode came here again.

After the results came, the negotiations between the two parties reached a deadlock.

What Masashi Zuoda means is that he wants to sell the copyright of the movie "Yangtze River" to CCTV and then show it in China. The price can be easily negotiated, just give it a friendly price.

But CCTV, represented by Chen Hanyuan, doesn’t think so.

Director Chen just wanted to learn from some clips from the documentary "Yangtze River", especially the magnificent aerial footage, to enrich his own TV series.

That is to say, Director Chen neither wants to release the film in China, nor does he want to pay for the copyright. He just wants to obtain Masashi Sauda’s consent and authorization so that they can learn from it at will.

In fact, as far as the current domestic situation is concerned, since there is no copyright law, even if Chen Hanyuan directly plagiarizes, no, borrows footage from a Japanese documentary, there will be no problem.

It's just that CCTV wanted to save face after all, and the documentary "Talk about the Yangtze River" was to be screened nationwide, so it had to be somewhat concerned about its image, so it brought in Masashi Zuotian.

One wants to sell it for money, and the other wants to get it for free. The two sides have fundamental differences on the issue of learning from it.

So the first negotiation ended on bad terms.

This time, it was the second negotiation, and it was Chen Hanyuan and Dai Weiyu who took the initiative to come here to talk, instead of asking Masashi Zuotian to go to the CCTV office to talk like the first time, which showed full respect.

Zuoda Masashi was in a good mood at first, thinking that the other party had figured it out, relented, and was willing to spend money to buy it.

Who would have known that after this meeting, after all the talk, although the attitude was good, I still wanted to have sex for free, and it was free of charge with his consent.

This is a little too much.

Although Zuoda Masashi has a deep affection for Xia Guo and is very fluent in Chinese, it does not mean that he likes to be taken advantage of.

When the "Yangtze River" documentary was originally filmed, it was originally planned to be a Sino-Japanese co-production, but in the end, he basically paid for it out of his own pocket.

For this reason, he has changed from a rich second generation to a negative second generation now, and even mortgaged his father's company to the bank.

Now Masashi Sauda is heavily in debt and has to think of ways to pay back the money every day.

The hard work of borrowing money to film the movie was fine, so it's fine if it doesn't do well at the box office in Japan, but you want to make a documentary TV series here, and you actually want to use my film clips for free, which is too much.
