Rhapsody of Entertainment Rebirth

"Hello, Mr. Yamakawa, I am Yuko Kuniya. I'm glad you can accept my visit!" Yuko Kuniya smiled and extended her hand to greet you.

Yamakawa shook Kuniya Yuko's hand and responded: "I am also very happy to be invited by NHK. I have watched the NHK documentary and it was very well shot. I hope we can have a pleasant conversation!"

"Please sit down!" Yuko Kuniya made a gesture to Yamakawa, "Don't you have any questions about the outline of the visit, Yamagata-kun? If there is no problem, let's start now?"

"Can!"

After Yuko Kunitani communicated with the on-site director and staff for a few minutes, the visit officially began.

"Shanhe Jun, this is your first time coming to Neon. How do you feel about Neon? Is it any different from China?"

Yamakawa looked at Kuniya Yuko and replied: "I have just arrived a few days ago and don't know much about Neon. Both Neon and Huaguo belong to the Eastern cultural circle. There is no obvious sense of cultural isolation here. The two countries have many similarities, including architecture. , thinking, aesthetics, etc., but there are differences. The pace of life in Neon is faster, it is more influenced by Europe and the United States, and its cultural appearance is more exposed!"

Yuko Kunitani then asked: "Do you think there are more similarities or differences between the two countries?"

Shanhe replied: "It should be more similar. I have also been to M country. Compared with the West, the history and culture of Eastern countries are more similar, and their thinking and aesthetics are similar. It is easier to adapt to work and life in Neon, and the surrounding environment is different. It will bring you too much oppression and alienation!”

"It seems that Mr. Shanhe's first impression of Neon is pretty good. As a world-renowned writer, does Mr. Shanhe pay attention to Neon's novels? Do you have any favorite Neon writers?"

Yamakawa nodded and replied: "I know Oe Kenzaburo, Kawabata Yasunari and Harukami Muraki, and have read their works. I like "Snow Country", "Norwegian Wood" and "Feeding" all, especially "Feeding" It’s very good, I can even understand Mr. Ojiang’s anger and helplessness, and it has a great impact on me!”

"This time I come to Neon, do you have any ideas about communicating with Neon writers, Mr. Yamagata? As far as I know, Mr. Harukami Muraki admires your "Parasite" very much!" Yuko Kuniya asked with a smile.

"I came quite suddenly this time, without much preparation in advance. It was mainly because I came to meet Neon fans and the release of "Bottom Hot Girls". The time was relatively short. I am very much looking forward to communicating with Neon writers when I have the opportunity in the future. As for my creative experience, I have just finished reading "Kafka on the Shore" by Mr. Harukami. It is excellent! If you have the opportunity, welcome him to China as a guest. Making friends with literature and supporting the benevolent with friends is the most noble thing for oriental literati!" Mountains and rivers also smile back.

"I have read both the novel and the movie "Bottom Hot Girl". To be honest, I was very surprised. This book and movie are so suitable for the current neon. When you created this story, you really didn't know anything about neon. learn?"

Shanhe murmured in his heart, could it be suitable for you, Neon's adaptation of a true story?

"Youth and passion should be suitable for everyone. I was still in high school when I wrote this story. The characters in the book represent the youth of me and my peers, and may also represent the voices of neon teenagers. Life should be controlled by oneself, and should not Live by other people’s attitudes!”

Kunitani Yuko nodded and responded: "That's great. Although "Bottom Girl" has a wide influence, I heard that you have been questioned by the Chinese literary world because of it and "The Martian". I am also very curious. You How do you think about your future in literature, and how do you measure marketability and literary quality?"

Shanhe replied: "I didn't consider this, maybe because I'm still young. There's no need to limit myself to a certain range. I will try more genres, whether it's novels or movies. Literature and art are both best-selling and best-selling." It’s not a life-or-death relationship, individuality and commonality can be interdependent!”

…

As the conversation progressed, Yuko Kunitani’s questions became broader and deeper.

"Shanhe Jun, I understand that you seem to have a completely different stance from the public intellectuals in China. You have even had many direct conflicts. Are you opposed to the public intellectuals' social proposals and criticism of reality?"

Yamakawa glanced at the smiling Yuko Kuniya and replied: "The so-called public intellectuals are just the self-promotion of some self-proclaimed politically correct scholars during the French Enlightenment. It was born out of rebellion, so if you are unconventional, let's put them aside first. Whether they are clean or not, let us regard them as idealists. They still have a strong flavor of Western Christian doctrine. Those who believe in me will have eternal life, and those who do not believe in me will go to hell. This is not our Eastern thinking. What we pay attention to is harmony. , is tolerance, in my opinion, Eastern culture and thinking are more suitable for the East, Ms. Kuniya, don’t you think so?”

"Eastern and Western cultures do have their own charms!" Kuniya Yuko avoided Yamagawa's eyes and continued to ask: "Yamaga-kun, I have seen your few interviews, and you seem to make no secret of being a nationalist. , wouldn’t this go against your identity as a writer? After all, a preset position will make people lose their cool!”

Yamakawa looked at Kunitani Yuko and replied: "I think your understanding of the word nationalism is too narrow. Nationalism is not an extreme form of fanaticism or extremeness. It is a kind of identity. My success comes from the thousands of years of Chinese history. How can I not agree with the cultural heritage? My thoughts are exactly the opposite of yours. Everyone has a position. My identification can make me calmer and see more things!"

"Do you think Neon's right-wing groups are nationalists? What do you think of their remarks?" Yuko Kunitani's question followed.

Shanhe knows that there are many far-right groups in Neon, and they often make extreme remarks in the media and public places, including historical issues between China and Japan. They seemed to have held a large-scale rally two days ago.

"I don't know much about the political situation in neon society. I said that nationalists have been defined by you as extreme and fanatical. This is not nationalism, this is populism! Nations, like people, will make mistakes. If a nation cannot even admit its mistakes, If it doesn’t have the courage, then it must not be able to see what’s ahead of it, and true nationalists should be calmer and clearer!”

Kuniya Yuko was disturbed by Yamagawa's directness and lack of scruples. She lowered her head and flipped through the manuscript for a while before continuing to ask: "Yamaga-kun, you are a very wise writer, and you always make some amazing judgments about things. , you once predicted in an interview with China's CCTV that China's economic aggregate will surpass Neon within ten years and leave Neon behind. What is your reason for making this judgment? Are you not optimistic about the development of Neon?"

Yamakawa smiled and replied: "Ms. Kuniya is well prepared. I did make a similar judgment two years ago. Ms. Kuniya, if you compare the economic data of the two countries two years ago with the current ones, I think You will also agree with my judgment. Huaguo’s size and cultural heritage determine its rise. Neon’s development depends mostly on the outside world, while Huaguo’s development is mainly domestic. The environments of the two are different. I think this Your experience will be deeper, after all, you are the one who has experienced the lost ten years!"

Kuniya Yuko smiled and nodded, "Yamagawa-kun, your answer is very practical. The rise of China is indeed unstoppable. My last question is in which direction do you think the relationship between China and Neon will develop in the next ten years?" ?”

Yamakawa looked at Yuko Kuniya, shook his head and replied: "Ms. Kuniya, your question exceeds my understanding. The relationship between countries is not something I, a scholar, can guess, but the development of the Internet has made the earth more and more... Xiao, cooperation should be the theme of the future!”

The recording of "Direct Interview" has ended. During the more than two hours of recording, the conversation between Yamakawa and Kunitani Yuko ranged from literature to society and nation.

Shanhe didn't have too many scruples and basically expressed everything he thought.

Yuko Kuniya was very satisfied with Yamakawa's answer. The biggest failure of interview programs is that they are controversial and controversial.

"Shanhe Jun, you are a true oriental literati. I admire your purity and straightforwardness. Most neon people are not interested in society and politics. They don't like to watch the rhetoric of politicians, but they like cultural celebrities and like to watch Sincerely laugh and curse, I think they will applaud your wisdom and fearlessness!"

"Really?" Shanhe smiled slightly, "I'm looking forward to it!"

Yamakawa shook hands with Yuko Kuniya and said goodbye, and walked out of NHK TV station.

Shanhe stayed at Neon for a full week. His arrival gave "Bottom Hot Girl" a new starting point, and the effect was intuitively reflected in the box office.

Within seven days, the box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" strangely turned into a squiggly curve. In the third week, Neon collected nearly 800 million yen in box office, and the cumulative box office in three weeks has accumulated to 1.7 billion yen.

In Neon, apart from cartoons and Hollywood blockbusters, very few feature films can have such a box office performance.

The happiest person is naturally Toho Co., Ltd. Their executives have repeatedly stated that they will cooperate more with Chuhe Film and Television.

For example, jointly finance production, mutual agency distribution of films from the two countries, post-production cooperation, etc.

The day before Shanhe left Neon, NHK aired the "Direct Interview" Shanhe special episode with rare efficiency.

Kunitani Yuko is very famous in Neon, similar to Yang Lan in China. Her high-end interviews have a fixed audience.

The interviewee this time is about Shanhe, a city where neon craze has been booming recently, and it has also attracted the attention of some book fans, movie fans and melon-eating people.

The content of the interview was very explosive, especially at the end when Shanhe unscrupulously criticized far-right groups and was optimistic about China and negative about Neon.

Shanhe's views soon caused controversy on the Internet. Naturally, far-right groups criticized Shanhe for being shameless. While making money from Neon, they also did not forget to criticize Neon.

Many people have spoken out to boycott Shan He's books and movies, and vowed to ban Shan He, saying that he is a descendant of the Red and has an sworn feud with Neon!

Neon is not just a right-wing group, there are also many left-wing scholars and social groups.

As a result, the comparative list of economic data mentioned by Shanhe in the interview was posted online.

This list marks the economic growth curves of Huaguo and Neon over the past ten years, and the final conclusion proves Shanhe's point of view.

The rise of China is just around the corner. Left-wing scholars have begun to criticize the legacy of militarism of right-wing groups. They believe that facing a rising giant neighbor, we should treat history correctly in order to have better exchanges with each other.

I think right-wing groups are making the same mistakes they made decades ago. China is in a devastated country, and neons are covered in blood, not to mention that she has become a giant now!

They highly admire Shan He's words: If a nation doesn't even have the courage to admit its mistakes, it will definitely not be able to see the future clearly!

The two schools of thought are quarreling more and more fiercely on the Internet, and more and more people are eating melons. Neon people are not very interested in participating in politics. Most of them have no special stance and are authentic people who only eat melons without spitting out. Melon seeds.

Due to the tampering of textbooks, many young people have no idea about World War II. All they know is that the father of Country M blew up the neon signs and then they surrendered.

All kinds of weird comments on message boards,

"Is China going to surpass us? Do we need another Chinese father?"

"More than a thousand years ago, Hua was my father, and Neon learned from Hua's Tang Dynasty..."

"Has Neon ever invaded China? We weren't defeated by Country M, and two atomic bombs were dropped. It's so miserable, how can we invade others?"

"The prince is so handsome and speaks very charmingly. He is from China. From China's point of view, I don't think there is any problem!"

""Bottom Hot Girl" is very good. Yang Mijiang is so cool. She is my favorite..."

"A bunch of idiots, Shanhe is criticizing Neon, can't you see it! No matter how good "Bottom Hot Girls" is, we must boycott it!"

"I didn't hear him criticize Neon. What he said was very practical. I don't know if Neon made a mistake, but what Shanhe said makes sense. People should admit their mistakes when they make mistakes. There's nothing to worry about!"

…

Shanhe lit a fire in Neon, got on the plane and left here. As for what the fire would burn, it was not within Shanhe's consideration!

Anyway, we can’t burn the country of China!

Toho Co., Ltd. smiled, Shanhe was a righteous man, and he left a gift before leaving. Noisy, hurry up, if not, let's add some fuel. The louder the noise, the higher the box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" will be!

On the plane back, Liu Ye was so impressed by his interview with Shan He.

"Boss, you are so awesome. What you said is so awesome that you didn't give them any face. My family is from the Northeast, so I respect you!"

"Director, you said this won't affect you, the Neon people will probably have to boycott you!" Yang Mi said with a frown.

The translator on the side interjected: "Yang Mi, you don't understand the Neon people. In my opinion, the Neon people will not only not resist, but Shanhe's influence in Neon will also increase because of this. The situation in Neon is different from that in China." , their people don’t care much about this kind of thing, they pay more attention to celebrities. Shanhe has caused quarrels between the left and right, and the Neon people will be more curious about him. I’m not bragging. With Shanhe’s glorious past, all Neon people have to Kneel down, do you know what they call country M? Dad! It’s not a joke, that’s how they call it in reality!”

"Really?" Liu Ye looked at the translator in surprise, "Are Neon people so mean?"

Shanhe replied with a smile: "They are just Mu Qiang. We can't understand it. It should be because of their history. I have read some books about the Neon Warring States period. It is estimated that their characteristics have been determined since then!"

As soon as Shan He left the airport passage, he saw Yang Liu who came to pick him up. After bidding farewell to Liu Ye and Yang Mi, Yang Liu drove Shan He back to the courtyard.

"Boss, how are you doing in Neon? I heard that you are a prince there. Why don't you enjoy it for a few more days?"

Shan He glanced at Yang Liu, "Being a prince is too tiring, but it's better for an experienced cadre to take it easy!"

"Haha..." Yang Liu said with a smile, "Boss, you have killed two birds with one stone this time. You have made money, expanded your influence, and found a stable partner for the company. Toho Co., Ltd. admires you very much. ah!"

"The neon market really needs to be taken seriously, and cooperation with Dongbao can be deepened!" Shanhe nodded.

"Got it!" Yang Liu agreed, "Boss, do you have any plans for these two days?"

"No!" Shanhe replied, "How much has the domestic box office of "Bottom Hot Girl" been?"

"Less than 270 million, the licensed "Seven Swords" has already been released, and the single-day box office of "Bottom Girl" has dropped to more than one million. It is estimated that it will be difficult to break the box office record of "Heroes", it is just that short A little!" Yang Liu replied.

"There is nothing to regret! The announcement of "Bottom Hot Girl" is already cheating. The main reason is that my level is not very good, and the subject matter is also limited. There is still a ceiling for campus youth movies!" Shanhe shook his head and responded.

Yang Liu nodded in agreement: "It has exceeded expectations. With the box office of Hong Kong, Taiwan and Asia, "Bottom Hot Girl" will bring nearly 200 million profits to the company. It is the most profitable movie in China. Boss, your legendary life will survive." Keep going, I'm really curious now, how many more records can you make!"

"Let's watch as we walk!"

Shanhe returned to the courtyard and became a veteran cadre as he wished, drinking tea, playing with flowers and plants, wandering around in the alley, and living a leisurely day!

Only two days of peace had passed. What Shanhe didn't expect was that the fire he set in Neon would actually burn to China, and the fire was not low!

The development of the Internet has indeed made the world smaller. Neon's international students subtitled Shanhe's two interview videos in Neon and uploaded them to Chinese forums.

Well, now, the two interview videos spread all over the Internet within a few hours.

In 2005, the number of broadband users in China exceeded 100 million, and the Internet has entered people's daily lives.

"Global Guide!" "TV Special" is better, but the three neon girls became famous in China for the first time, and Kitano Takeshi also attracted the attention of many netizens because of his old gangster style.

"Direct Interview" caused an uproar on the Internet. Shanhe's straightforward answers in the interview made netizens' national pride suddenly burst out.

Neon's apology resounded across the Internet, and Shanhe's bold words on CCTV's "Face to Face" two years ago were also revealed again.

"Well done to Shan He. He still stood his ground in Neon and asked them to apologize to Neon's largest TV station. He didn't care about his own personal gains and losses at all. I support him!"

"Neon must apologize. I heard that they even changed the textbooks. They are trying to get rid of the debt!"

"Apologise! My family is from Jinling. Do you know that there are almost no locals in the whole of Jinling? The Neon people are so fucked up..."

"I'm from the Northeast, and I'm really bad at this thing. The little devil has done so many evil things, and he doesn't even know how to do it. It's so damn shameless..."

"Is there anyone who objects to what Shan He said two years ago? When they said he was crazy, they swallowed his words back..."

"My grandpa was killed by a kid. The Neon government must apologize!"

"Neon government apologizes!"

"Apologize!"

…

Shanhe's interview caused a storm in China!

This is the difference between the people of the two countries. The Chinese have always regarded themselves as "family, country and world"!

China has a glorious history, and has also fallen into the abyss. We know that a strong country is the backing of its people, and national self-esteem and patriotism will always be the mainstream!

"Live and die for the benefit of the country!" is the highest standard of morality.

Shanhe's toughness in the interview suddenly touched the hearts of the public.

The voice of Neon's apology became louder and louder on the Internet within a day. At this time, there were no crowds, only the participants were shouting.

The calls on the Internet directly affected reality, and offline media also began to discuss this issue. News such as the Neon government's visit to the Yasukuni Shrine, changes to textbooks, and refusal to apologize to World War II comfort women and workers' compensation were uncovered.

With online and offline media reporting this, this matter is getting bigger and bigger!

Two days later, Shanhe's interview and the Internet turmoil in China spread to Bang Country. People in Bang Country became even more resentful towards the Neon Government.

Immediately joined this condemnation of the Neon Government,

The actions of the Bangguo people were even more extreme, including demonstrations, burning neon military flags in front of the neon consulate, and representatives of comfort women suing the neon government. Various methods were put on the table.

The networks of both countries are filled with accusations against the Neon government!

Hackers hacked all of Neon's major portals. "Neon Government Apologizes!" suddenly appeared everywhere on Neon's network!

Now it's good, an interview by Shanhe has caused an international incident, and even Western media are paying attention to and reporting on this rare online group incident!

"Qiu, a nationalist's revenge..."

"Qiu's influence in Asia is incredible, and Neon's crimes in World War II have not been forgotten..."

"The Nazis must apologize, Germany has apologized, why can't Neon..."

"The biggest mass incident since the birth of the Internet, collectively produced by the three countries in East Asia..."

…

The Neon government is under increasing pressure from public opinion!

Shanhe was dumbfounded in the courtyard. He made a miscalculation. The fire he lit not only burned China, but also burned all over East Asia. What the hell happened?

One of his normal interviews became the trigger and the eye of the storm. What to do now!

Yang Liu and Zhong Lifeng both rushed to the courtyard, and the three of them looked at each other speechlessly under the grape trellis!

"Boss, why are you so capable of causing trouble? Don't show your face again these days. This matter is getting a little out of control!"

"Shanhe, the storm is not going to subside this time. Our country is better off, but the country is a bit unrelenting. We can only wait and see what happens. In the future, interview manuscripts must be strictly reviewed. You should be more cautious in the future!" Zhong Lifeng smiled bitterly! said.

Shanhe looked at the two of them and said, "I just said what I should say. Just do whatever you want. What am I afraid of!"

"Boss, you'd better find someone to talk to you. This matter won't affect the diplomacy between the two countries, right?"

Shanhe touched the lines between his eyebrows and said, "I understand, what is this? The evil done by the Neon Government will bring him misfortune sooner or later!"

This turmoil is not without its benefits. The domestic box office of "Bottom Girl" has picked up again, and the single-day box office has returned to two million.

Will the box office record of "Hero" be saved soon?

"Bottom Hot Girl" became even more popular in Neon. It single-handedly created such a big thing, and its reputation in Neon is so great that it can be said to be famous all over the world!

The apology note stated that "Bottom Hot Girls" is still in decline despite the boycott!

Toho Co., Ltd.’s box office expectations have once again increased to 3 billion!

Shanhe has inexplicably gained a great reputation in Neon. The far-right elements are gnashing their teeth at Shanhe, but there is nothing they can do!
