Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Slowly, Masashi Zuoda opened his sleepy eyes.

The feeling of exhaustion caused by the hangover made him feel uncomfortable all over; the dry throat made him subconsciously shout "water".

Of course, all in Japanese.

"Huh? Mr. Zuotian, are you awake? Do you want water? There is herbal tea here. Get up and drink some first."

"Thanks."

Zuotian Masashi subconsciously thanked him, but when he just sat up from the bed, he was suddenly stunned.

Because at this time, Masashi Zuoda's mind was already spinning.

It was precisely because of this that Masashi Zuoda discovered that he was in a strange place.

After blinking, Zuotian Masashi looked at the person opposite and thought for three seconds before he realized: "Oh, you are, you are Cao, Cao..."

"Cao Zhiqiang." Cao Zhiqiang continued to speak in Japanese with a smile, "We just met last night and had dinner together, Mr. Zuotian."

"Oh, I remember." Zuotian Masashi nodded, "Are you Mr. Cao, a poet, or the president of a publishing company that is about to open?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Yes."

Zuotian Masashi frowned, looked around, and asked again: "Where is this? Why am I here?"

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and pointed at the glass of water on the bedside table and said: "Mr. Zuo Tian, ​​your voice is a bit hoarse. Drink some tea first to moisten your throat before talking."

Zuotian Masashi looked at the glass of water on the bedside table, swallowed subconsciously, and then nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "That would be disrespectful."

After saying that, Zuoda Masashi picked up the glass of water and drank it all in one go.

After drinking the cup of herbal tea, Cao Zhiqiang picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Masashi Zuoda.

Masashi Zuoda drank it all in one gulp again.

In this way, after Zuoda Masashi drank three glasses of water, he took a long breath: "Ah, I finally feel alive. Thank you, thank you, President Cao."

Cao Zhiqiang put down the teapot and shook his head: "It should be done with a little effort."

At this time, Zuoda Masashi, who had completely sobered up, blinked and asked with confusion on his face: "Um, President Cao, why am I here?"

"You really can't remember anything?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and sat down on a chair opposite.

Zuotian Masashi frowned and shook his head: "I don't remember anything. I, I seem to have stopped drinking. I just remember drinking with you, but I can't remember anything else."

Cao Zhiqiang nodded and told why Zuotian Masazhi was here.

It turned out that last night, Masashi Zuoda passed out drunk at the wine table in advance, and then everyone chatted for a while, but after a while, they started talking about the translator brought by Director Chen who had diarrhea, diarrhea, and no appetite.

Next, Director Dai was worried and went to the toilet to see how translator Zhou was doing. When he went there, he found that the young translator had fainted in the toilet cubicle with a pale face.

At this time, Director Dai was immediately frightened and did not dare to move. He immediately ran out to report to Director Chen.

Director Chen was older and more stable. After checking the situation, he immediately asked someone to call the emergency number and call an ambulance.

After the ambulance arrived, Director Chen and Director Dai were worried and went to the hospital with the ambulance.

As a result, Cao Zhiqiang, Yu Deli and the drunk Zuotian Masashi were left at the scene.

Since it was very late, Cao Zhiqiang asked Yu Deli to go back first so as not to worry his sister-in-law, saying that he would handle it here.

Just like that, Yu Deli also left, leaving only Cao Zhiqiang and Zuotian Masashi.

As for Zuotian Masashi, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't wake up no matter how drunk he was. As a result, there was no way to know which room he was staying in.

With no other choice, Cao Zhiqiang called the manager and asked the manager to look at the situation before he found out which room Masashi Zuotian was staying in.

However, at this time, Cao Zhiqiang asked one more question, asking if the other party lived alone.

When he learned that the other party indeed lived alone, Cao Zhiqiang did not take him to his room, but chose to take Masashi Zuotian back to his home in Houhai, where Qinghong lived.

Cao Zhiqiang's theory is that he saw Zuotian Masazhi drunk and unconscious, and he had no friends around to take care of him. He was worried that something would happen to him if he went back alone, so he took him back to his home so that he could take care of him, so that Zuotian Masazhi would not die of drunkenness.

in the room.

Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Zuotian Masashi was very moved, bowed and nodded quickly, and uttered various compliments as if they were free of charge.

In response to this, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled and said that he was polite, saying that this was what he should do.

Well, judging from the process, what Cao Zhiqiang said is indeed correct, but in fact, Cao Zhiqiang's motive for bringing Zuoda Masashi back is not that simple.

If we say that at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang was indeed very unfamiliar with the name Zuoda Masashi.

So when he heard the name of the documentary TV series "Talk about the Yangtze River" that has not yet been aired, and even heard about a documentary film called "The Yangtze River" that had been released in Japan before, he even heard Masashi Zuoda saying wildly

After he lost how much money he had, he immediately realized who Masashi Sabota was.

In his previous life, Cao Zhiqiang watched the TV series "Talk about the Yangtze River" and also watched the Japanese version of the movie "The Yangtze River".

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang has not completely read these two works. He only watched excerpts or short videos.

In addition, Cao Zhiqiang is even more familiar with the theme song of the Yangtze River, which is "Song of the Yangtze River", because he learned this song when he was in elementary school, and of course he also knows where this song comes from.

Later, Cao Zhiqiang once read a long article on the Internet that analyzed the stories before and after "Talk about the Yangtze River", and he also had a certain impression about it.

Especially after knowing that this documentary series, which has created the highest ratings record in China, was originally a film made by a Japanese singer. The Japanese singer was even deeply in debt for it, and he did not pay off the debt until he was sixty years old.

It's jaw-dropping.

It's just that the Japanese singer, Masashi Zuoda, may be a very famous person to many people born in the 1960s in China, but to Cao Zhiqiang, he has no impression at all.

It is precisely because of this that when Yu Deli first talked about Masashi Zuoda alone, he could not remember who he was at all.

But when he told Director Chen, Director Dai and others that the purpose of their trip was to discuss the copyright issue of the documentary film "Yangtze River" with Masashi Zuotian, Cao Zhiqiang understood everything.

This is also the reason why Cao Zhiqiang suddenly proposed to write lyrics for "Talk about the Yangtze River".

Because he remembered that the popular song "Song of the Yangtze River" began to collect lyrics from the whole country after the last episode of the TV series "Talk about the Yangtze River" was broadcast.

Before that, Song of the Yangtze River was just a piece of pure music without lyrics, and there were some minor differences in the tune.

The success of "Talk about the Yangtze River" is unquestionable, and the theme song of this documentary, "Song of the Yangtze River", is also very successful.

After all, it is a work that can be selected as a primary school textbook. How can it not be successful?

But here, at this time, the lyrics of the Song of the Yangtze River have not yet appeared.

It's okay if Cao Zhiqiang didn't meet him. Now that he met him here, how about getting some benefits from it and plagiarizing the song in advance and making it his own? Is he worthy of his status as a time traveler?

Of course, in addition to coveting the original rights to the lyrics of "Song of the Yangtze River", Cao Zhiqiang's thinking expanded and he began to have thoughts about Masashi Zuoda.

Yes, Masashi Zuoda is indeed in a downturn now, but before, he was a rich second-generation singer famous for his talent, and his reputation was not small.

But just because he made a documentary, Masashi Zuotian was heavily in debt. As a result, Masashi Zuotian and his family did not benefit from the documentary, but they benefited CCTV.

Although Masashi Zuotian's father is said to have been a Japanese invader, Masashi Zuotian himself is a full-fledged anti-war person and has no feelings for the country.

It seems that before Cao Zhiqiang traveled through time, Zuotian Masashi had always been among the people who practiced Sino-Japanese friendship and was one of the rare Japanese friends.

In short, in Cao Zhiqiang's opinion, the current debt-ridden Zuoda Masashi is a real bargain.

Why do you say that?

Because Cao Zhiqiang could enter the Japanese music scene at this time through Masashi Zuoda and harvest wealth from the Japanese market.

You know, in the early 1980s, Japan was at its peak. It was the most powerful period for Japan after the war.

Thanks to its strong economy, the Japanese entertainment industry at this time, especially the Japanese music scene, occupied a dominant position in the Asian circle.

Many popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan at this time were basically copied from Japanese songs, such as "Declaration of Manhood", "I Only Care About You" and so on.

At the same time, although the country has a large population and the domestic Chinese music scene is still a blue ocean, the per capita income here is also low, and the awareness of copyright protection is also poor.

So in this period of the Asian music scene, if you really want to make money, you have to look to Japan.

Cao Zhiqiang still remembers that he once read an article in his previous life that analyzed the prices of records in various parts of Asia in the 1980s and 1990s.

In the late 1980s, the average price of an original single recording tape sung by a famous domestic singer was only ten yuan a box, and the album was only about twelve yuan, not more than fifteen yuan.

At the same time, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the price of a single audio tape was about 50 Hong Kong dollars per box, which was equivalent to about 20 yuan per box in RMB at that time. The price was basically double that in the mainland.

Audio tapes in Hong Kong and Taiwan were expensive enough in the 1980s, so how much did a box of audio tapes cost in Japan in the 1980s?

The answer is that in the 1980s, the average price of a single cassette tape in Japan was about 1,500 yen, and the price of an album cassette was generally around 5,000 yen.

In the 1980s, before the Plaza Accord, the exchange rate of RMB to Japanese yen was around 1:17.

In other words, if a music tape is sold for 10 yuan in mainland China, it will cost 88 yuan RMB in Japan.

In addition, if you hold a concert in Japan, you can make much more money than in China.

Cao Zhiqiang has relied on system plug-ins to become proficient, have a golden voice, top guitar performance, top harmonica performance, top accordion performance, and a selection of 30,000 modern pop songs.

With such a combination of talent, skills and music, if he doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune in Japan, he will not only waste his wealth, but also commit a crime.

However, the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang is now Chinese. Due to his national conditions and identity, it is very difficult for him to go abroad to Japan at this time. If he is not careful, he will be regarded as treason.

Therefore, he needs an introduction, or a partner with Japanese identity, to lead him to extend his tentacles into Japan.

Just like Lou Xiao'e can help herself extend her tentacles into Hong Kong.

Obviously, this well-known Japanese singer who has a good impression of China and is heavily in debt, Masashi Sabota, is his best prey.

Therefore, in Cao Zhiqiang's eyes, Zuotian Masazhi at this time is not a neon friend at all, but is clearly a Qin Yiren living in Zhao State!

To a certain extent, the value of Zuotian Masashi is far greater than that of "Song of the Yangtze River".

Since he is a rare commodity, of course you should make good friends with him while he is sick, no, when he is down and out!
