In this world, Mi Xiaoran is not the only one who understands the goodness of China and the kindness of people in the capital.
In this era, she was not the only one plotting how to break through the obstacles from the absurd philistine capitalist world and escape back to her hometown full of humanity.
On the night of December 31, 1987, there were actually other people plotting similar things.
That is Teresa Teng and Ning Weimin, who are planning how to quietly enter the mainland to participate in this year's Spring Festival Gala performance rehearsals, and how to deal with the aftermath.
However, at this moment, they were attending this year's Japan Record Awards Ceremony at the Nippon Budokan. They had not yet had time to discuss this important matter and related details in the audience. They had a taste of the Japanese entertainment industry first.
of big melon.
Damn it, the final result of this year's Grand Awards was a huge upset that the audience did not expect. Kondo Masahiko won the record award with sales of 150,000 copies of his new song.
However, Kondo did not get this record award justifiably, but he got it because of various behind-the-scenes operations by Johnny & Associates, as well as tricking Akina Nakamori into giving up.
Especially the most absolute thing is that at this time, Kondo Masahiko had just exposed the scandal of cheating with "Sister Mei" in Hong Kong City. Not only did Nakamori Akina not pursue it, she actually used her own resources and abilities to help Kondo's public relations get rewarded. This makes people unable to help
I wonder if her skull is damaged.
So much so that the scene was in an uproar.
Not to mention, at this time Kondo Masahiko's mother also unexpectedly encountered a car accident.
In order not to affect his awarding the award, Kondo refused to send his mother to the hospital, causing her mother to pass away without timely treatment.
Therefore, Japanese Yakuza, who disliked him, finally did what any hero should do.
They snatched the urn of Kondo Masahiko's mother and asked him not to accept the award, otherwise he would never see his mother's relics again.
But I didn't expect that Kondo Mangon was really a ruthless person and didn't care at all, so he accepted the award generously.
In short, this famous scene of the century was really a feast for the eyes of Ning Weimin and Teresa Teng who were present at the scene.
They sat together and witnessed how shameless the scumbags and human-skinned beasts of this century can be.
Especially Teresa Teng, it would be okay if she didn't know so much inside information, but after Ning Weimin, the "most comprehensive insider", whispered in her ear the whole story of the matter.
When she saw Kondo Masahiko not even mentioning Nakamori's famous dishes in his acceptance speech, and actually thanking his mother who might have been thrown into the sea, she felt nauseated and almost felt sick.
Vomited.
"Wow, is it true? Zhongmori is too stupid. She shouldn't do such a stupid thing. How could such a person who doesn't even care about her biological parents have any feelings for her! To be honest, I'm totally confused
I’m going to be dumbfounded.”
"As the saying goes, poor people must be hateful. Too many people advised her to stay away from Kondo. Even many of her fans saw that this kid was untrue. But she still insisted on being a moth.
Fire, who's to blame? A clear mind is a good thing, but not everyone has it. You can understand it, but she may not."
"What you said is so cruel. It doesn't seem like what you said."
"I'm just telling the truth. Medicine can't cure the disease, and Buddha can save the destined person. She can't wake up on her own, and no one can save her. Of course, this may be a common problem among Japanese women. Many Japanese girls like to put everything they have in
The same thing applies to men, even if they are as good as her. Unlike us Chinese girls, we know how to be self-reliant. If she were half as smart as you and had a little bit of your backbone, her life would be more dazzling. Poor Kondo.
"
Hearing the meaning of relief hidden in Ning Weimin's words, and thinking of her own marriage change, Teresa Teng was stunned for a moment, and seemed to have a glimmer of understanding.
But she was a little concerned, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? You are laughing at me, right?"
"No way." Ning Weimin deliberately imitated her Bayan accent and interrupted, "I sincerely praise you, please, my Miss Deng, you are the queen of Asia, the light of our Chinese people. Can you have more confidence?
Woolen cloth?"
Teresa Teng suppressed her laughter, gritted her teeth, pretended to be angry, turned her head and glared at Ning Weimin before giving up.
Then he said to himself, "I still can't believe it. How could it be such a ridiculous result? This is a bit too much. Nakamori's "Unbreakable" sold 400,000, and then she didn't win the award, and Kondo did.
!How will the Grand Prize Committee explain to the audience?”
"Isn't it strange? Isn't it surprising that Nakamori won the Grand Prize? In terms of sales, who can beat your record? The theme song of "Li Xianglan" "Please Don't Go" has sold more than 60 singles this year.
Fifty thousand, right? You are a singer from the singing school, and your sales volume can surpass that of the idol school. In terms of strength, who else is more qualified to win the grand award than you."
This is indeed a fact, but Teresa Teng heard a bit of ridicule in Ning Weimin's words, and couldn't help but get angry, "Come again, you still said no? You are obviously laughing at me."
Perhaps because the voice was a little louder, someone in the front row glanced back.
Seeing this, Ning Weimin stopped joking and said in a serious voice, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to tell you that this award is just a game of capital. There has always been a shady story, and this award is not pure at all.
Otherwise, you would have
You have won the grand prize. Why do you need my help? So don’t think of this prize as sacred. From a fairness perspective, it is far less valuable than the cable TV grand prize you get every year. And I think the result this time
That's outrageous, maybe from here
After the first Grand Award, the future ratings of the Record Awards have collapsed. Let’s not talk about Nakamori, let’s talk about you, Hiroshi Itsuki, who is not better than him. The awards can be operated to this extent, which will make the Awards Committee regret it. I really feel sorry for you
It's a pity for TBS, a very good program made Kondo
It's ruined. So, you have to think carefully when inviting you to the Record Awards in the future. We can't afford to accommodate them anymore. Ah, by the way, I haven't congratulated you yet. You have won the Cable Broadcasting Awards for four consecutive years.
Ah. This is an amazing achievement."
Teresa Teng was not shy this time. She said thank you and laughed sincerely.
For a person like Ning Weimin who knows how to compliment others, almost every word he speaks speaks to her heart.
Come to think of it, after winning the Record Award for the first time last year, I was so excited when I received the award.
At that time, my mind was completely blank, and I couldn't even remember what I said or did.
She even shed tears of joy.
But now it seems that it is really unnecessary.
It's not that she has any discrimination against Japanese idol artists.
But an artist like Kondo, who is obviously not good at everything, can win a big award just by relying on the operation of his office.
He outperformed other players whose strength and performance far exceeded him, which completely eclipsed this award and lost its due meaning.
Winning this award again is no longer an honor, but a shame!
In short, she has really looked away now and will no longer have any attachment to this award.
"You're right. The Record Awards has cheated to such an extent that it's completely meaningless."
After agreeing, she continued, "What's more, for me, I am not the kind of singer who is only active in Japan. My songs are not limited to this small Japan, I also have a vast Chinese market. I will soon
I went to Tiananmen Square to sing, I’m very excited just thinking about it.”
Ning Weimin couldn't help but feel a little amused when he heard what she said, "You are not afraid of the cold. At this time of year, the temperature in the capital can freeze you to death."
"You are really good at picking on other people's language. I mean, I finally have the opportunity to participate in the Chinese New Year Gala, which is the most watched by Chinese people, and sing my songs to more than a billion compatriots. I have been looking forward to this for a long time. But to be honest
"When I think about going to the capital after New Year's Day, I'm really a little scared."
"Afraid of our mainland? No way. Didn't you already go to the capital last time? You also met with the leaders. Didn't you guys have a good talk? When things come to a close, you won't change your mind again, right?"
"No, I didn't say I was afraid of the mainland. Although I was born in Yunlin County on the island, my parents were born in the mainland. Our family is the so-called "outsiders" on the island. Therefore, I
Our roots are in the mainland. Why should descendants of China like me be afraid of the mainland?"
"Then you...are you talking about...the island?"
"Well, the island is a little different from the mainland. Some people are completely unreasonable. They don't ask me to sing and nothing else like here. We are friends, so I tell you the truth.
In recent years, I have been living like a gypsy, wandering around. What makes it difficult for me to return home is the people on the island.
Those people make me not want to go back to the island now. I feel more comfortable living in the port city than anywhere else. Although I miss my family very much, and although the island is also my hometown and has a warm side, this is the place I want to escape from.
Yeah, it's very difficult to deal with. Because some people are just so hateful. Yes, I'm talking about the island.
The government and the press formed a force that prevented me from moving freely. They disgusted me and wanted to control me. They always made me do things I didn't want to do. And whether you believe it or not, I almost wanted to
I can’t tell you what happy memories I have on the island growing up. I was often bullied in school when I was a child.
There were no children to play with me. Some of the native people who lived on the island hated the foreigners from the mainland. I was also bullied because I was a foreigner. I couldn’t go to school like ordinary children.
I have to sing to support my family. This is why I have to go to London to study."
Ning Weimin completely believes that Teresa Teng's words are absolutely not fictitious.
In fact, he had long heard Funaki Minoru say that after the "Passport Incident", after Teresa Teng became famous again in Japan, her career was often deliberately difficult from the island.
Not only did the reporters on the island spread baseless rumors and slander against her, but what was even more egregious was that the government authorities on the island deliberately refused to issue Teresa Teng a passport, sincerely making it difficult for her to fulfill her contract and perform in Japan.
Even Japanese people like Minoru Funaki can't figure this out.
Isn’t it the glory of Teresa Teng’s hometown to become famous overseas?
Then why does her hometown still target her, hurt her, and make things difficult for her?
"Don't worry, after all, the situation is different this year. Cross-strait relations have broken through. When I got married, there was no clue. No one thought that this matter would make such great progress. But now with the island
The government has taken some opening-up measures in terms of visits to relatives on the mainland, economic and cultural exchanges, etc., and the nearly 38-year isolation between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait has been broken. In this case, it is naturally not an excessive thing for you to perform in the mainland. And I
It has been arranged, you go after the New Year
Jingcheng will still go with Fei Xiang and Zun Long. Of course, Miss Mai will accompany you. In name, the main actors of the "Crazy Rich Asians" crew must abide by the contract and promote "Crazy Rich Asians". If it happens afterwards
, there is really someone on the island who wants to make things difficult for you,
You can just blame it all on Fog Studios. Didn't we already agree to use a breach of contract to prevaricate them. If you don't go, you will suffer huge breach of contract losses and be sued for tens of millions of dollars. You just
Ask those people if they want to pay for you?”
Ning Weimin tried his best to say nice things and comfort Teresa Teng. He analyzed the situation and explained the methods, but unfortunately it had no effect.
Although Teresa Teng nodded yes, it could be seen from her expression that she obviously did not have much confidence in certain people on the island and was also very worried about whether she could successfully solve those troubles.
Ning Weimin thought for a while and then said again.
"I also want to tell you good news. I can almost win the opportunity for Miss Mai to direct the movie "Bodyguard" that you and Miura Yuka will start shooting next year. Considering that she knows enough about you and your life, she is
People from Hong Kong have a better understanding of action directors coming from Hong Kong. I think she is a more suitable director for this drama. So please tell her this news and let her have a happy New Year."
"Thank you, thank you very much. I'm really happy for her."
These words had some effect, and Teresa Teng finally smiled a little.
Watching her good friend Mai Lingzhi's career improve and she finally had a chance to stand out, it really diluted some of her worries.
However, after all, it still feels like forcing a smile.
Ning Weimin was not a hard-hearted person when it came to his friends, and it was really hard to bear to see her like this.
After thinking about it for a while, he simply made an irrational choice and took the initiative to persuade Teresa Teng to quit.
"Theresa, if you really regret it now, it's actually still too late. I don't want to force you, not at all. I don't want to force you like those people who disgust you. I just think this year is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you.
If you go, you will go. In the future, you may not be able to have the right time, right place, right people, and such a coincidence.
So you don’t actually have to think about it that much. Just ask yourself, do you regret it or don’t regret it? If you really feel that the pressure is too great and you can’t bear it, I won’t force you. Instead, I will follow up for you.
The leaders on the mainland explained it. I think they will also understand your difficulties."
It's easy for Ning Weimin to say this. He has fulfilled his loyalty as a friend.
If something goes wrong in this matter, he may not be able to withstand the thunder that strikes down.
At that time, not only will he be unable to hold it back, but Huo Yanping may also have to eat melon because of his instigation in the middle.
But the problem is, some things are still sincere, and if you put yourself to death and live later, you can get things done.
After hearing his words, Teresa Teng was truly moved. She obviously knew how much responsibility Ning Weimin had to bear for her. So she lightly touched the corners of her eyes and smiled.
"Who says I can't go? I have thought about it. I will go sooner or later. Otherwise, I will never give up. It is better to go early than to go so late. I don't want to disappoint the fans who hope for my songs. I don't want to disappoint you either.
.Ah, I almost forgot, you are my boss now. Sorry, disrespectful."
When Ning Weimin saw her like this, he finally felt relieved and smiled with relief.
Unexpectedly, Teresa Teng said again, "However, I still have something to tell you. The thing you asked me to do is not going well. I really have a friend who has been looking for me. I'm sorry."
"Hey, what do I ask you for?" Ning Weimin was a little confused.
"When it comes to finding someone, don't you want to find that... Mr. Song?"
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Didn't I call you during the Spring Festival last year and tell you not to worry about this?"
"What? You called me? Is it true?"
"Of course it's true. You were playing mahjong with a few friends in your house in Hong Kong City. Let me think about it. You told me that there was Brigitte Lin, there was Mai Ganoderma, and who else was there..."
"Is that so? Hey, it seems to be a bit of an impression... I'm sorry, maybe I forgot... Then I understand. I'll just stop this first."
Ning Weimin was truly speechless now.
All the money he spent on his phone call was in vain. At that time, this guy turned a deaf ear to what he said and didn't take it to heart.
