Rebirth of Siheyuan starts in the 1980s

Chapter 458 Seeing Masashi Sada Again

There was no words all the way, and the plane landed smoothly at Tokyo International Airport.

Tokyo International Airport is actually Haneda Airport. In addition, there is a new Tokyo International Airport in Tokyo, which refers to Narita Airport.

At this time, in China, due to old habits and ease of differentiation, Tokyo International Airport was generally called Haneda Airport, and New Tokyo Airport was called Narita Airport.

Although Narita Airport is now open, there are not many flights because it is a newly built airport.

Generally during this period, direct flights from China to Japan land at Haneda Airport.

I got off the plane, passed the security check, entered the terminal, got my suitcase, and quickly entered the waiting room.

However, in the waiting room, Cao Zhiqiang and his party did not see Masashi Sada who had agreed to come to greet them. Instead, they saw a strange young man in a suit and ties among the crowd.

The reason why Cao Zhiqiang noticed the young man in a suit and leather shoes was not because he looked a bit like Masashi Sada, but because he was holding a large wooden sign with the words "Welcome Mr. Cao Zhiqiang from Peiping" written in large Chinese characters on it.

Well, these things are written on the sign, clearly welcoming Cao Zhiqiang.

So Cao Zhiqiang took two "secretaries" and quickly came to the young man holding the wooden sign.

Of course, there is another plan, that is, Cao Zhiqiang sells the copyright of "Blooming Life" to Masashi Sada, and he sings the Japanese version of "Blooming Life" alone.

It can be said that currently more than 70% of the fans of the song "Sakurazaka" are women, and there are particularly many die-hard fans.

"I just arrived, and I haven't even taken a sip of water, and you want to talk to me about copyright sales? Are you too anxious?"

"Hello." When Cao Zhiqiang walked up to him, he smiled directly and said, "I am Cao Zhiqiang, who are you? Was it Masashi Sada who asked you to come and pick me up? Where are the others? Why didn't they come?"

But later, after Masashi Sada became famous, controversy also ensued. Many critics began to criticize his songs for not being positive enough. Especially after the release of his single "Guan Bai Declaration", it aroused a lot of criticism from women's rights at this time.

.

Now, when they started to introduce each other, Hojo Mami finally had a chance to talk.

"That's it." Cao Zhiqiang returned the photo to the other party.

However, since Cao Zhiqiang is very good at Japanese, the translator has never had a chance to speak from the beginning until now.

"Ah, blame me!" Masashi Sada slapped his forehead and grinned, "I'm sorry, Cao Sang, it's all my fault for being too anxious.

Sure enough, after entering the room and making some introductions, the woman was indeed Masashi Sada's sister, Reiko Sada, who is also a part-time singer.

Masashi Sada in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life spent most of his life paying off debts. After he paid off his debts, he was already 58 years old and very old.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded, took the tea and took a sip.

Just like Cao Zhiqiang, he had always wanted to go to Japan. At first, he also thought about coming to Japan to make money by singing.

Immediately afterwards, Sada Shigeri introduced the woman next to him, named Hojo Mami, who was the Chinese translator he specially brought.

Then my brother also said that when you were on the phone before, he specifically asked you to bring the photos you took together, and you agreed at the time.

Well, it’s so bitter!

If people like Masashi Sada can't take advantage of the situation and continue to produce good songs, they will easily be overtaken by the endless stream of newcomers.

As a result, during the actual filming, problems arose one after another, and the funds continued to burn. In the end, after the filming was completed, the actual cost exceeded 3 billion yen.

Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "Of course it's no problem, but it's not convenient here. Let's go aside first."

Originally, he and his father thought that this matter would be easy, and they thought that by raising 200 million yen, they would be able to make a good film.

Well, it looks like a two-story villa, but Cao Zhiqiang knows that this is actually a famous one-family house in Japan. Only ordinary people live in such a place, and the rich Japanese at this time generally do not live here.

"Ah!" Masashi Sada glared at his sister, "What are you talking about? How can you be so rude? Go and pour tea for Cao Sang!"

It’s just Anping, but Xu Chun’s Japanese is quite good, and his original identity is also Cao Zhiqiang’s secretary and Japanese translator.

It was only because the system came up with some tricks later and gave some special rewards that were difficult for individuals to use, that it gained an additional layer of purpose.

Of course, Cao Zhiqiang also took the opportunity to introduce his two secretaries, namely Anping and Xu Chun.

Not only that, this song also broke out of Japan and began to conquer East and Southeast Asia. Masashi Sada's name also began to break out of the country and became popular not only in Japan and China.

If the songs in this album can be changed into Japanese lyrics and then performed together with Cao Zhiqiang in Japan as a group, the effect should be good.

Not to mention anything else, let's just say that in 1982, he held 162 concerts in Japan. Later, he held more than 100 concerts almost every year.

Unfortunately, due to the resistance of a large number of feminists and the fact that Masashi Sada rushed to concerts to pay off his debts, he did not have much time to settle down. Therefore, he never released any hit songs. Even though he had many concerts, they were not very popular.

A hit.

After taking back the photo, Nori Sada smiled slightly, and then said: "Cao Sang, although it is a bit presumptuous, this is the first time I have met you, so I am not sure of your true identity.

At this point, the other party seemed to see Cao Zhiqiang frown, thinking that the other party didn't believe it. He quickly took out a wallet from his arms and pulled out a photo: "Look, this is a photo of our three brothers and sisters. There is a brother on it."

, I still have a sister.”

Generally speaking, drinking matcha is equivalent to drinking tea, because matcha is made by grinding tea leaves into ultra-fine powder and then mixing it with water. It is no different from drinking tea porridge.

As a result, the release of "Sakura Saka" not only brought Masashi Sada's singing career to a higher level, but also made the majority of Japanese women forget about Masashi Sada's former machismo, thinking that he was a prodigal who could not change his fortune, and began to turn to the dark side one after another.

pink.

Sada Co., Ltd. is actually the company of Sada Masashi's grandfather. It is registered in Nagasaki. Its main business is timber business and also does some trade.

It doesn't matter even if Cao Zhiqiang has no new songs for the time being.

Cao Zhiqiang looked at the photo and found that in the photo of three people above, there was indeed Masashi Sada and the guy who called himself Sada Shigeri, and there was also a girl who was not very good-looking, but very cheerful and lively.

"Hey!" Reiko Sada covered her mouth and smiled, then straightened up and poured a cup of tea for Cao Zhiqiang, "Cao Sang, please drink tea."

Masashi Sada thought Cao Zhiqiang's previous popular album in mainland China, "Blooming Life", was very good.

After seeing the photo of Cao Zhiqiang and Masashi Sada, Nori Sada nodded: "Yes, it's my brother. It seems that you are really Cao Sang."

In addition, Masashi Sada's fame has increased greatly because of this single, so much so that when he held another concert, not only were the venues sold out, but the ticket prices also soared, five times as much!

Not only that, the song "Sakurazaka" is actually very popular among Japanese women because of its beautiful and warm melody and lyrics that sound a bit like an infatuated man.

But considering this is Tokyo, and Masashi Sada seems to still owe a lot of debt, there is nothing wrong with choosing to live here.

But my brother said that when he was in China, he took a group photo with you, but he was in a hurry when he returned to Japan and forgot to take the photo.

Currently, this is the most convenient and fastest way to go from Haneda Airport to Tokyo.

The current president of this Sada Club is Sada Masashi's father, Sada Masato. The president is Sada Masashi's younger brother, Sada Shigeri. Sada Reiko is the financial officer, assisting the second brother in running the Sada Club.

The Japanese female group in the 1980s had a lot of consumption power and power, and they directly put Masashi Sada on the altar.

Although the other party was a Chinese translator, Cao Zhiqiang heard that the Chinese spoken by the other party was only so-so, with a strong Japanese emphasis, and he seemed to be an authentic Japanese.

Matcha, in particular, was very popular among young people in the 1980s, and it once overtook coffee drinking.

Hearing Cao Zhiqiang speaking in such Japanese, the young man holding the sign was stunned.

I won't talk about other songs, just the single "Sakurazaka".

It was by relying on the songs provided by Cao Zhiqiang that Masashi Sada regained his glory in the Japanese music scene. No, we cannot say that he restored his glory. He should go to a higher level and directly reach the top singers' ranks.

After subconsciously looking at an ordinary-looking woman in a suit next to him, the man who looked somewhat similar to Masashi Sada quickly handed the sign to the young woman next to him, and then bowed to Cao Zhiqiang.

Because of this, Masashi Sada went to China with his father to relax, and came up with the idea of ​​filming "The Yangtze River" and put it into practice.

After pushing the door open and entering, he saw Masashi Sada in the small courtyard, and a young woman next to him who looked unattractive but dressed in a rather fashionable style.

During this period, most Japanese, especially young people, liked to drink coffee or matcha.

Next, the group quickly left the terminal, but instead of being picked up by a special car or taking a taxi, they went to take the monorail.

After arriving in Roppongi, I took a taxi and got off in a residential area. Then I walked a short distance and arrived in front of a small villa with a single courtyard.

Matcha is a kind of green tea powder. It is instant like instant coffee. You only need to pour a few spoons into a cup and brew it with hot water. It is much simpler and more convenient than making regular tea. It can be regarded as instant.

Tea powder.

You don’t know how much pressure I’ve been under these days, so I’m a little anxious.”

Therefore, Masashi Sada invited Cao Zhiqiang to come over this time. Firstly, it was to fulfill his original promise of creating a Chinese-Japanese group. Secondly, he also hoped that Cao Zhiqiang could give some more powerful songs, so that Masashi Sada could continue his efforts and create greater glory.

From this point of view, Masashi Sada is actually quite miserable. He made a good documentary, but spent most of his life repaying it.

It's really bitter, because this is not ordinary tea brewed in water, but matcha powder.

As soon as this song came out, it immediately became a hit. So far, not only has the record sales in Japan officially exceeded two million, but even radio and television stations have frequently invited Masashi Sada to do programs.

There is no way, the current domestic economy is still very weak, and there is no comparison with Japan's economy. It can only be popular but not popular.

Hearing that Masashi Sada was eager to buy the Japanese copyright of "Blooming Life", Cao Zhiqiang immediately couldn't laugh or cry.

No matter what, Masashi Sada really regards Cao Zhiqiang as a close friend now.

However, today, the trend of "Sakurazaka" has gradually subsided, but it is difficult for Masashi Sada to write a good song of similar level.

Originally, he went to China this time with the idea of ​​selling "Yangtze River" to CCTV, hoping to get a good price, but he was ruthlessly rejected.

Get off the train at Hamamatsucho Station, then transfer to the subway and get off at Roppongi.

As soon as he took a sip, Cao Zhiqiang frowned.

"Isn't it? Sada-kun."

Cao Zhiqiang had an impression of that young woman. When Shigeri Sada took out the photo before, she was in the group photo.

In other words, Masashi Sada actually left the family company long ago and started personal development.

There is no way, who made the country poor now? CCTV doesn’t have much money.

Of course there are taxis, but taxis are too expensive, so you usually take the tram.

Moreover, along the way, Sada Shigeri talked a lot about his family affairs. Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang knew at a glance that this woman should be Sada Masashi's sister, Sada Reiko.

It turns out that Sada Club suffered heavy losses in the Isahaya Flood in 1957. The debtor at that time was Masato Sada. Fortunately, Masashi Sada later became a pop singer and continued to sell songs to help repay the debt. It was not until 1975 that the debt was completely repaid.

Clear debt.

Not only that, but thanks to Masashi Sada, the Sada Club was able to come back from the dead and survive to this day.

After bowing, the man in the suit smiled and said to Cao Zhiqiang: "You are the Cao Sang that my brother has been talking about. Hello, I am Sada Shigeri, and Sada Masashi is my brother. Since my brother is now a public figure, it is not convenient for him to appear in public.

, so this time I will pick you up instead of him."

And listeners are also forgetful. No matter how good your song is, you will still get bored of it if you listen to it for three consecutive months.

So, a group of people came to the rest area and sat on the seats together. Then, Cao Zhiqiang opened his suitcase in public, took out an envelope, and from the envelope took out a photo of him and Masashi Sada.

.

Putting aside the 200 million yen prepared by Masashi Sada himself, he actually owes a debt of 2.8 billion yen. If interest is added, the debt is actually 3.5 billion yen.

Therefore, drinking matcha contains much more active ingredients than simply drinking tea.

So, did you bring any photos? Can you show me the group photo?"

After all, only 35% of the tea leaves are actually soluble in water. Drinking tea can only drink 35% of the active ingredients. Drinking matcha is equivalent to eating the entire tea leaves, and naturally more ingredients can be effectively used.

As for Sada Planning, it has nothing to do with Sada Co., Ltd. It is actually a personal agency run by Masashi Sada himself. It is similar to a personal company. Its main business is music production and its side business is film production.

After confirming each other's identities and introducing each other, Sada Shigeori warmly invited everyone to follow him, saying that his brother was already waiting for them at home.

"Yes!" Sada Reiko said with a smile beside her, "My brother is right. He can't sleep well every day. He smokes a lot of cigarettes and drinks a lot of wine every day, and a lot of his hair is falling out. If he continues like this,

I'm afraid he will become bald soon."

In order to repay his debt, Masashi Sada is working very hard now.

For no other reason than that Cao Zhiqiang once translated some songs he wrote privately into Japanese lyrics, along with lyrics and music, and gave them to Masashi Sada free of charge.

The reason why I say she is a part-time singer is because Reiko Sada works as a general employee at Sada Co., Ltd. and as a singer at Sada Project.

Furthermore, Masashi Sada felt that there were many Chinese people and wanted to make money by holding a concert in China. However, after the actual event, he discovered that although many people came and the scene was very popular, the actual income was not as much as if he had held a concert in Japan.

Earn more.

Experiments have proven that a bowl of matcha contains more nutrients than 30 cups of ordinary green tea.

Of course, because of this, the taste of matcha is really bitter, so it is usually added with sugar and milk.

However, many Japanese people like to drink pure matcha because they like the unique bitter taste, which is particularly refreshing.

But unfortunately, Cao Zhiqiang is not used to the taste of pure matcha.

Too over the top!
