What kind of things are meaningful and what kind of things are meaningless?
As far as what Miho Koyama did, whether it was writing a letter to Akina Nakamori or asking Asako for consultation, no matter which one it was, it did not bring about a change in the matter. It seemed to be no different from doing useless work.
.
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a moment and then spoke slowly, "The emperor of our family once said of Koyama-san, 'He keeps doing useless things.'"
He saw the empty cup in front of Nakamori Akina and poured her another cup. He pretended not to see her worried expression because of Asako's comment and continued, "But Asako said again, 'Continue.
If she keeps doing useless things, then what she does can no longer be said to be meaningless.'"
When a person persists in doing the same thing, persisting in the thing itself has its meaning. On the other hand, even if a thing is meaningful, if it is abandoned halfway, it will eventually lose its meaning.
.
The worry that just appeared on Nakamori Akina's face faded a little.
Iwahashi Shinichi turned to talk about his thoughts, "Asako and I actually think about the same thing. Besides, there is also a fact before us. If it weren't for Koyama-san who kept doing these seemingly meaningless persistence, there would be no
I hope to meet you today."
Nakamori Akina was touched by these words and suddenly felt a little depressed, "But even if Miho-chan and I met, this meeting seems to have brought nothing."
"Do you want to help Koyama-san and Akiko?" Shinichi Iwahashi asked.
Nakamori Akina was stunned for a moment, feeling as if she was being questioned by him. She reacted for a while, then slowly spoke, "Miho-chan has been thanking me from the beginning to the end."
"Thank you?" Iwahashi Shinichi looked at her.
Nakamori Akina nodded lightly and told him, "Thanks to me for playing "Lovely Season", which gave her and Akiko the opportunity to become friends."
Iwahashi Shinichi thought for a while, "I see."
When a literary and artistic work is produced, no one knows what it will bring to the audience. Whether it will be liked or disliked, whether it will be intoxicating, whether it will be a pastime when bored, or perhaps some revelations and a little accidental fate.
From this point of view, practitioners in the entertainment industry have very powerful power.
In addition to thanking her, Miho Koyama also looks forward to more works from Akina Nakamori in the future.
In the flashy entertainment world, the identity of an artist seems to be just to entertain the public, and it seems to have no practical significance. However, this job brings strength and happiness to people in many moments.
Fate brings hope. This is definitely not a job that cannot be mentioned in the mouths of people who call themselves old school.
And when she met Miho Koyama face to face, while truly feeling her strong emotions, Akina Nakamori herself realized the special meaning of this flashy job beyond light and shadow.
Miho Koyama, who had been thanking Akina Nakamori all the time, had never thought about asking Akina Nakamori to help her. Akina Nakamori, who realized this, had a deeper affection for Miho Koyama in her heart.
However, even though she had the idea of doing something for her and her friends, Miho Koyama's restraint made Akina Nakamori feel in her heart that if she blindly did something, it would be harmful to these two people.
At this time, Akina Nakamori mentioned it, "By the way." She told Shinichi Iwahashi, "Miho-chan also gave me something... She said she didn't know who else to give it to besides me."
After she finished speaking, she stood up and walked away. When she came back, she handed a bound manuscript paper to Iwahashi Shinichi.
Today, I met Miho Koyama. Before saying goodbye, Miho Koyama handed this manuscript to Akina Nakamori.
Miho Koyama could not tell anyone about Akiko, so she had to write it in a letter and send it to Akina Nakamori. As a result, Akina Nakamori became the person she confided to.
Naturally, what is written in this stack of manuscript paper cannot be seen by others. It has always been something that Miho Koyama has chewed alone.
She brought these to Akina Nakamori. To a certain extent, Akina Nakamori was the only person she could share with.
When Akina Nakamori couldn't ignore the letter from Miho Koyama, she still didn't know that she would become such a character without knowing it. What Miho Koyama gave her...can she show it to Shinichi Iwahashi?
However, for Nakamori Akina, the content written in the manuscript was something she could not bear independently and had to be shared with Iwahashi Shinichi.
Iwahashi Shinichi took the stack of manuscript papers without opening them, and asked first, "Have you read it yet?"
Nakamori Akina nodded, "However, after reading it, Shinichi, you may have different ideas from me."
Iwahashi Shinichi was amused by her words, "I haven't read it yet, are you sure that you and I will think of different things?"
She pursed her lips and refused to answer the question, "Anyway, just read it quickly."
While talking, Akina Nakamori patted Iwahashi Shinichi on the shoulder and motioned for him to focus on the pile of manuscript paper.
Shinichi Iwahashi opened the cover bound with manuscript paper.
The handwriting was clear and careful. He scanned a few lines and asked, "Is it a novel?"
Nakamori Akira held his cheek with his hand and made gestures with his other hand, indicating that he would read on. After completing the gesture, he paid special attention to it, picked up the wine bottle, and filled up Iwahashi Shinichi's glass.
As expected, the timeless saying goes: Be attentive when you have something to do.
Nakamori Akina filled it for him, and when she poured it for herself, she found that the wine bottle was empty, and got up to go to the kitchen. Iwahashi Shinichi listened to her clinking sounds, followed her busy figure with his eyes, looked at it for a while, and shook his head
, I felt that she was deliberately exaggerated, as if she was too full of worries to contain.
He withdrew his gaze and returned his attention to the stack of manuscript papers in his hand.
At first, Iwahashi Shinichi thought he was reading a novel. But after reading a few pages, he felt that it was a diary in which he poured out his heart and talked to himself. It could be said to be a diary, and it was filled with a lot of fictional plots.
Miho Koyama's writing style is immature and she has no writing skills to speak of. When reading her words, you can imagine her writing these things driven by her own passion.
In her writing, there is a simple sympathy for the people trapped in the whirlpool.
In addition to the young women who are obviously referring to Zhang Zi and have no choice but to embrace the flashy society in exchange for a false sense of security, there are also those who just want to let their families live a good life, so they borrowed small loans at the suggestion of their bosses.
A corporate executive who accomplished his hospitality performance and got promoted as expected, but found himself on the path of no return.
In Miho Oyama's writing, every character who appears has different situations and different reasons for embarking on this path, but they all have various problems.
Miho Koyama is neither a writer nor a scholar, she is just an ordinary person. Therefore, she cannot answer questions and can only keep asking questions. That is:
You obviously just want to live a serious life, why do you fall into such a desperate situation?
Although this stack of bound manuscript paper is a bit thick, the text is simple and does not set up any suspense. It is very easy to read. After reading it, Iwahashi Shinichi felt that these words, rather, are really an article by Miho Koyama.
Observation diary.
I knew early on in my heart that Akiko was a real person. This made Iwahashi Shinichi subconsciously believe that other people and things that appeared in it also existed when he read Miho Oyama's words.
In other words, even if he does not know that Akiko is a real person, Iwahashi Shinichi still believes that the people and events in the article are not fabricated.
I don’t know how many people have experienced what Zhang Zi has experienced. Not only that, with the collapse of the bubble, the number of people who have fallen into this situation will increase exponentially in the future. In the beginning, people will overdraft their consumption.
, maybe out of vanity or enjoyment, but gradually, even if you just want to live a serious life, you can't help but fall into it under the influence of the times.
The bubble has burst, but the life built on the bubble still needs to be maintained.
To be precise, when the bubble first bursts, it is the time when falling into the whirlpool occurs most frequently. Because at this time, people still have confidence in "returning to ordinary life", so they are willing to use overdrafts to tide over the situation.
Overcoming difficulties. To put it bluntly, for ordinary people, the reason why they are willing to overdraft is because they still have hope for the future.
Those who will be troubled by debts are actually people who have confidence in life and hope to retain their credit. Such people work hard to find ways to make up for the holes they owe, and strive to prevent their peaceful daily lives from being broken by accidents. They want to keep their credit.
They live in this society with dignity, but all they do is drink poison to quench their thirst, and slightly delay the arrival of the day when they will be buried under the ruins.
Bystanders can criticize those who fall into it for not being cautious enough. However, in an era where traps are everywhere and people cannot help themselves, everyone should not be required to stay awake and rational.
Chaozi decided to accept an interview with a magazine, open a helpline, and be willing to help people in trouble. The reason why she did this was that when the disasters of the era hit ordinary people, people should have a fresh start.
opportunity, rather than once you fall, you can only slide into the abyss and fall to death.
Iwahashi Shinichi did not comment on his sister Asako's thoughts, but in his heart, he could not help but think that in such an era, for most people, they just passively drifted with the flow and did not realize their feelings until they felt suffocated.
Feet in the swamp.
…
While Iwahashi Shinichi was reading, Nakamori Akina, who had brought another drink, stayed by his side quietly. However, she did not drink herself, she just stayed by his side.
By the time Iwahashi Shinichi finished reading this stack of manuscript paper, not only had the wine in his glass become warm, but the bottle Akina Nakamori brought back was also a little warm.
Iwahashi Shinichi closed the observation diary of Miho Oyama, took a sip of the warm wine, and told her, "I've finished reading."
If I had known earlier, I might as well have waited until he finished reading before getting the wine.
Nakamori Akina, who had done her job in vain, stretched out a finger, rubbed the sweaty bottle body, nodded, and asked him, "What do you think? Iwahashi-san."
When I call him "Iwabashi-san", I must be thinking about something in my heart.
Shinichi Iwahashi asked, "What do you think?"
"You asked me 'how', and I didn't know what to answer." Akina Nakamori said. Her fingers kept wiping the wet wine bottle, "I feel very cruel and very scared."
But what is even more cruel is that what will happen in reality may be many times crueler than what Miho Koyama wrote.
It's a pain that even words can't describe. This is how the times collapse.
Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly mentioned, "Watanabe-san of the office has repeatedly mentioned before that as a practitioner in the entertainment industry, he should be responsible for the public."
Nakamori Akina glanced at him, "Responsibility?" Although it was a question, this time, Nakamori Akina vaguely understood this sentence, which sounded heavy and grand.
If she had heard such words in the past, Nakamori Akina might have been a little ignorant. However, what she witnessed, the fate between Miho Koyama and Akiko, in a sense, was actually the words of Watanabe Manyumi.
A footnote to the story.
"Watanabe-san said so." Nakamori Akina took back her wet fingers, raised them, and waited for them to dry. This childish behavior was a bit inconsistent with the serious expression on her face.
Great match.
In her mind, the capable and calm face of Watanabe-san from the office appeared in her mind, and she felt in her heart that Watanabe Mayumi, who could think of these things so early, was indeed two completely different people from herself. Perhaps, in such an era,
, people like Watanabe-san are needed even more.
...However, Miho-chan also thanked her and looked forward to seeing more of her works. Miho-chan said that she gained strength from her.
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't tell what Akina Nakamori was thinking, so he nodded, "For example, now, if you can use your influence to let the audience know that if you unfortunately fall into such a whirlpool, you will not have to go to a dead end.
A choice.”
Halfway through his words, he looked at the smile on Nakamori Akina's face and was a little confused.
"What's wrong?"
Akina Nakamori shook her head slightly and looked at him with a smile, "Nothing." She would not tell Shinichi Iwahashi that what he said was the same thing as what she was thinking just now.
"Miho-chan said," Akina Nakamori told him, "It would be great if there was someone in "Lovely Season" who was in a similar situation to Akiko." She imagined Miho Koyama's mood when she said these words.
Things in the world are often like this. Only after it has happened do you realize that there is more than one choice.
However, Iwahashi Shinichi poured cold water on her, "Even if such a character does appear, Akiko may not have another path to take."
