Chapter 423 [College Students] + [Music]

Ken Takakura’s status in China at this time is equivalent to Sora Aoi in later generations.

The vast majority of Chinese people have watched their films and TV shows.

There are many obsessed fans who watch it repeatedly.

There are many people who have watched it seven or eight times, and some even have watched it dozens of times.

Ken Takakura’s representative work is naturally “The Chase”.

After the movie “The Manhunt” was introduced to China, its response in China not only surpassed the Japanese domestic market, but also completely exceeded the expectations of the Japanese side, and even became the collective memory of a generation of Chinese people.

As the leading actor, Ken Takakura naturally left a very deep impression on the Chinese people. Not only was his image of Du Qiu and his dress in the movie popular among the Chinese people, he himself also became a movie idol in the hearts of a generation of Chinese people and was loved by many people.

Jiang Xian first recognized Ken Takakura, and then immediately noticed a woman not far away who had a sweet appearance and a pure and clean temperament.

“Nakano Yoshiko?!”

Jiang Xian was really surprised.

The two most popular actors in “The Chase”, Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano, actually gathered at the Yanjing Hotel? !
“Not only these two, but also many Japanese stars are here.” Jiang Dawei said to Jiang Xian.

“Why are there so many Japanese here?” Jiang Xian asked.

“Is such that.”

Shi Guangnan explained to Jiang Xian:

“The authorities are planning to organize a Chinese-Japanese youth party on the eve of National Day. Not only will these Japanese stars come, but they will also invite about 3000 Japanese youth to visit China.”

“There is such an activity?” Jiang Xian was a little surprised.

It seems that the word “friendly” is not just superficial work. There are people who are really promoting the promotion of exchanges between the two countries as a beautiful vision.

“What’s wrong? You like Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano? Do you want to get an autograph? Or take a photo with them?” Xu Xiaoming asked from the side, “I have a camera in my room.”

“.I don’t care.” Jiang Xian didn’t care much about this matter.

A movie of the level of “The Manhunt” can shock today’s audiences, but it is unlikely to attract him from later generations.

However, he saw that Jiang Dawei and Shi Guangnan were both eager to make some moves and looked excited.

“Then let’s go together?” he suggested.

Sure enough, Jiang Dawei and Shi Guangnan had no objections. They couldn’t wait to follow Jiang Xian and stand up and go to Takakura Ken and Nakano Yoshiko.

But at this moment, several young people got ahead of them.

“Hello, Mr. Ken Takakura, I’m Ye Xiaoxiang, a student at the Central Conservatory of Music.” A girl with short hair shyly extended her hand to Ken Takakura.

The Japanese sitting next to Gao Cangjian quickly translated Ye Xiaoxiang’s words to him.

He nodded and looked at them in a friendly manner.

“Hello.”

Ye Xiaoxiang blushed, with a look of admiration in her eyes, “Mr. Takakura Ken, I’m sorry to bother you, can I ask for your autograph?”

“Of course.” Ken Takakura agreed readily.

He has been in China for so many days and has experienced such scenes countless times.

After getting Ken Takakura’s autograph, Ye Xiaoxiang was excited, but she also asked for an autograph from Nakano Yoshiko, who was sitting next to her and was more than 20 years younger than Ken Takakura.

Nakano Yoshiko looked like a completely sweet girl. She was polite and well-behaved as she gave Ye Xiaoxiang autographs. Her sweet look made the male comrades feel a little moved. Japanese women are really good at acting cute.

After asking for autographs, this group of students from the Central Conservatory of Music excitedly expressed their love for these two idols.

Jiang Xian and the others waited quietly on the side without urging anyone, until Xu Xiaoming brought the camera over. Only then did the group of students take the autographs and walk away.

“excuse me.”

Shi Guangnan came forward and smiled very gentlemanly.

“We would also like to ask for your autographs, and if possible, take a photo together.”

The translator quickly conveyed their meaning, and Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano both nodded.

“no problem.”

“Are you also students of the music conservatory?” asked Nakano Yoshiko.

Several people smiled and shook their heads. Xu Xiaoming introduced them casually, “They can both be teachers at the music school.”

Seeing that Nakano Yoshiko was confused, he smiled and added:

“They are both musicians and are very famous in China.”

“Oh? A musician!”

Nakano Yoshiko immediately showed a very respectful attitude, “Nice to meet you.”

Takakura Ken was also surprised, “You are actually musicians? Can I ask your names?”

“of course can.”

Xu Xiaoming introduced him, “This is the musician Shi Guangnan, and this is the musician Jiang Dawei.”

“Oh~”

Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano nodded slowly, showing a certain degree of surprise, so as to show their respect, but they definitely had never heard of these two names.

“Are you two also musicians?” Nakano Yoshiko looked at Xu Xiaoming and the relatively quiet Jiang Xian.

“Not really.”

Xu Xiaoming shook his head. “My name is Xu Xiaoming. I’m a director, and this gentleman is a writer.”

“Oh~”

Compared with Shi Guangnan and others, Takakura Ken and Nakano Yoshiko are more interested in Xu Xiaoming and Jiang Xian.

“Xu Xiaoming?” Takakura Ken looked at Xu Xiaoming with interest. “Film director?”

“I’ve read TV series and movies.”

“Oh~”

On the other hand, Nakano Yoshiko was more interested in Jiang Xian. After all, this gentleman was so handsome. She noticed him among the crowd at first sight.

She bowed slightly.

“What is the name of this writer?”

Jiang Xian extended his hand toward her.

“Hello, Miss Liangzi, my name is Jiang Xian.”

“Jiang Xian?!”

When Nakano Yoshiko heard the translator say this name, her reaction was completely different from before.

It was a polite smile just now, but now she opened her mouth wide and looked at Jiang Xian up and down in surprise.

Hearing this name, Takakura Ken turned his head in surprise and looked in the direction of Jiang Xian.

“Jiang Xian?”

“Autumn bean sack, autumn bean sack.”

“Um. May I ask if the novel “The Moon and Sixpence” is your work?”

Shi Guangnan and the others did not expect such an incident to happen, and like Nakano Yoshiko, they all looked in the direction of Jiang Xian.

After a few seconds of silence, Jiang Xian nodded slightly.

“it’s me.”

“My novel was once published by Tokuma Shoten.”

His admission immediately made several Japanese, including Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano, visibly excited.

“Is it really you?!” Nakano Yoshiko’s eyes were full of stars. She held Jiang Xian’s hand with one hand and bowed 90 degrees. “It is such an honor today to meet you here by such a coincidence. I like your novels very much. Your words are as sharp and precise as a scalpel.”

The Chinese people had not yet reacted to Nakano Yoshiko’s sudden admiration.

On the other hand, the cool and tough guy Ken Takakura, who is almost fifty years old, has also turned into a little fanboy:
“Can I have your autograph?”

“What a pity I didn’t bring a copy of The Moon and Sixpence today.”

“It would be really great if I could get your autographed book!”

Shi Guangnan and Jiang Dawei looked at each other, both with a hint of disbelief in their eyes.

This is so awesome!
Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano, who have fascinated thousands of Chinese people, are as obedient in front of Jiang Xian as fans meeting their idols.

I know your novel is very popular.

But who could have imagined.

Your novels are so popular in Japan too!
Ye Xiaoxiang, who had just come to ask for an autograph, and several other students from the Central Conservatory of Music also noticed this scene.

Of course they knew the writer Jiang Xian.

But they never expected that Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano would react so violently after seeing him.

Since the release of “The Chase”, the two Japanese actors Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano have become popular all over China and are loved by many Chinese people. Every time they come to China, wherever they go, the crowds gather and cheer the names “Mayumi” and “Du Qiu”.

There is no doubt that these two Japanese actors are idols of the vast majority of Chinese people these days.

But judging from the current reactions of Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano.

Jiang Xian, a Chinese writer, is actually the idol of idols!
“Please allow me to take a photo with you!” After getting Jiang Xian’s autograph, Nakano Yoshiko asked with an expectant look on her face.

“Oh, no problem.” Jiang Xian put his hands in his pockets, looking easy-going.

“If you don’t mind, please wait for me for a moment. I need to go to my room to get my camera.”

“Do not bother.”

Jiang Xian stopped her and said, “We just happened to bring the camera here.”

“Yes, I just brought the camera. We originally wanted to take a photo with you too,” Xu Xiaoming said awkwardly.

He also didn’t expect that they originally came here to ask for autographs and take photos with Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano.

As a result, because of Jiang Xian’s presence, the situation has completely turned around, and it was Ken Takakura and Yoshiko Nakano who asked Jiang Xian for his autograph and to take photos with him.

It’s really the opposite of Tiangang.

Xu Xiaoming raised his camera and took a few photos of Nakano Yoshiko and Jiang Xian.

Nakano Yoshiko stood beside Jiang Xian, smiling as brightly as a girl, just like the innocent and youthful “Mayumi” in the movie.

“Jiang Xian, smile.”

“.”

Jiang Xian smiled mechanically.

Mayumi Nakano tried to hold his arm.

Jiang Xian pushed her away silently. His movement was very light, as if it was an unintentional action. After finishing, he even moved his feet and kept a certain physical distance from Nakano Yoshiko.

After Nakano Yoshiko finished filming, Takakura Ken couldn’t wait to go over and take a photo with Jiang Xian.

Xu Xiaoming didn’t know whether he remembered it wrongly or it was really how he felt.

He remembered that when Jiang Xian took a photo with Nakano Yoshiko, not only did he not smile for a long time, but he also stood very far away, as if it was difficult to approach him.

But when Jiang Xian was filming with Takakura Ken, his face, which hadn’t smiled for a long time, was now filled with a warm and natural smile. He didn’t look like someone who was difficult to approach. He was arm in arm with Takakura Ken, hugging and kissing him affectionately.
Hey~
Xu Xiaoming felt a chill.

After the two actors finished filming, several Japanese personnel requested to take photos with Jiang Xian.

In order to save time and film, we took a group photo.

After taking pictures for a long time, Xu Xiaoming finally put away his camera.

As a result, when I saw Shi Guangnan and Jiang Dawei standing aside with their legs a little numb, I remembered that the photos I had planned to take had not actually been taken yet!
Nakano Yoshiko and Takakura Ken also realized this and expressed their apologies to the two sincerely.

“Because I was so excited to see Teacher Jiang Xian, I forgot about the two musicians.”

“please forgive!”

“It’s okay, it’s okay.”

What else could Shi Guangnan and Jiang Dawei say? They could only wave their hands indifferently, and mutter to themselves the words from Zhou Libo’s “Storm”: “Compare goods and you will throw them away; compare people and you will die.”

People were all rushing to take photos with Jiang Xian, and it was just like that… Well, there is no harm without comparison.

Of course, these were just the complaints that flashed through their minds. When taking photos with Nakano Yoshiko, they were still smiling and looked very happy.

After finally being pulled by a group of Japanese to take photos, Jiang Xian gave a few autographs. When he looked up again, the Japanese faces were replaced by Chinese.

“Hello, Comrade Jiang Xian!” Ye Xiaoxiang, the student just now, came over and talked to him.

“Hello.”

“I didn’t expect to see you here today. Can I get your autograph, too?”

“of course can.”

Jiang Xian agreed readily and quickly signed a few more signatures for several students.

“Are you students from the Central Conservatory of Music?”

“Correct.”

“Why are you here?”

“The school’s Youth League Committee has assigned several of us students from the Composition Department as representatives to attend the China-Japan Youth Gala, and we will have some performances to do at that time.” A boy answered.

Another boy added:
“A song we composed ourselves!”

“I see.”

Jiang Xian wrote a message to Ye Xiaoxiang saying “I wish you a smooth performance” and “Classmate Ye Xiaoxiang, if I have the chance, I will visit your school later.”

“real?!”

Ye Xiaoxiang was flattered.

Jiang Xian nodded. “I’ve been thinking about a novel about music recently. Maybe I can get some inspiration from your school.”

This is half true and half false.

Jiang Xian did have a novel, but it was already in his mind.

Before founding People’s Digest, Jiang Xian successfully synthesized the two inspirations of “college students” and “music” into a novella through independent synthesis.

This novel is also a powerful weapon that he plans to hand over to Wang Meng and People’s Literature.

“Comrade Jiang Xian, we will definitely welcome you to our school!” Ye Xiaoxiang said excitedly.

“Yes, our classmates must be happy.”

“Okay, leave me your contact information.”

Jiang Xian chatted with Ye Xiaoxiang and the others for a while.

Turning around, another neatly dressed middle-aged woman came over and greeted him.

She introduced herself as a reporter from the Beijing Evening News. She had originally come to interview singers and actors from the China-Japan Gala and the National Day Gala, but ended up running into the incident involving Jiang Xian and the Japanese actors.

“This matter is quite topical. Can it be reported?” she asked Jiang Xian.

“It’s possible, but just don’t exaggerate.” Jiang Xian was a little worried.

The use of journalism has become so widespread in later generations that he has some PTSD towards those who work in the news industry.

“Please rest assured that we will report objectively!”
