1990: Starting from Baojia Street

As the first fans to hear "Fireworks", the audience who came to the scene today are lucky.

Koharuna, who was sitting in the second row on the first floor, held up the recorder in her hand, trying to make the recorded sound clearer.

As a loyal fan of Shizuka Kudo, she basically never misses any of her concerts. Even if they are held in other cities, she will rush over to listen.

It was even more impossible for her to miss the concert in Tokyo. When the tickets for today's concert were first released, she bought the front row tickets early.

Not only does she attend every concert, but she also uses a tape recorder to record the live sound at every concert as a keepsake.

In fact, after she recorded her previous concerts, she just kept the tapes at home and basically never went back to listen to them.

Because the sound quality of her recorder was not very good, and the scene was so noisy, Shizuka's singing voice could not be recorded clearly. Many times, the cheers of the audience were louder than her singing.

If you want to listen to songs, you might as well buy a video of Shizuka's concert and watch it at home.

But what she didn't expect was that she actually recorded a new song today.

After recording these, she can continue listening to new songs without having to wait for them to be released.

Koharuna is very short, and when everyone stood up, if she wanted to record the sound clearly, she had to raise her hands very high, which was very tiring.

But she was lucky today. The boy sitting in front of her never stood up. He just sat there quietly, very quietly.

This meant that she was sitting in the first row with no one blocking her way.

While recording the song, Koharuna was also very curious about the boy in front of her.

This man bought a front-row ticket for the concert, so he should be a loyal fan of Shizuka. Why was he so calm at the concert? The concert was almost over, but he didn't stand up once. It was too weird.

I won’t talk about what happened later. Anyway, there was basically no one sitting in the rows in front of them. Even if there were, they had stood up before. Only the man in front of her was so special.

After watching concerts for so many years, it was the first time that Koharuna saw such a calm fan at the scene, as if he was not coming to a concert but a music concert.

Although the man was sitting, he looked very tall.

Wearing a mask and a baseball cap, only half of his face could be seen from the side, but even so, Koharuna still felt that this man must be very handsome.

The man had very long eyelashes, which could be seen very clearly from the side and back, and his eyes were also very big.

For some reason, Koharuna felt that half of the man's profile looked familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him.

At this time, the singing on the stage had ended, and cheers and applause broke out from the audience.

Koharuna was originally staring at the man's profile, and when she heard the applause, she also clapped unconsciously.

But she was still holding the tape recorder in her hand, and the applause caused the tape recorder to fall down, landing on the legs of the man in front of her.

After the tape recorder hit the man's leg and was about to roll down, the man quickly grabbed the tape recorder.

Then, the man turned to look at Koharuna with a surprised look on his face while holding the recorder.

Now, Koharuna saw the entire upper half of the man's face.

These eyes, these eyebrows... Xiao Chunnai covered her mouth and said in surprise, "Zhou Yanjun!"

Koharuna is very familiar with this face. Ever since Zhou Yan wrote a song for Kudo Shizuka, she has fallen in love with him and started paying attention to everything about him.

On the wall of her room, the photo next to Kudo Shizuka is Zhou Yan. Yes, she is a fan of both of them.

When Zhou Yan heard the little girl in front of him calling out his name, his expression was even more surprised than the little girl's, because he didn't expect that he could be recognized like this. Are the eyes of these Japanese fans so sharp?
The noise at the scene was actually very noisy, but just now Koharuna's recorder fell on Zhou Yan's legs, attracting the attention of the two girls next to him, so when Koharuna called out Zhou Yan's name, the two girls also heard it.

"Zhou Yanjun?"

The two girls looked at Zhou Yan's face, and then their expressions were the same as Xiao Chunna's, surprised and happy.

If they saw a man with eyes and eyebrows similar to Zhou Yan in other occasions, they might not dare to recognize him, but today's occasion was different.

This is Shizuka Kudo's concert, and it's the first row, so it makes sense for Zhou Yan to appear here.

The key point is, Zhou Yan was wearing a mask and a baseball cap. Isn't this a typical example of not wanting to be recognized?

It would have been fine if no one had called Zhou Yan's name, but now that someone has called his name, the baseball cap and mask seem to be trying to cover up the truth.

The voice of one Haruna is limited, but when combined with the voices of two other girls, it is enough to cause a small sensation.

Soon, the audience in the first three rows near Zhou Yan all knew that Zhou Yan had arrived.

Zhou Yan curled his lips and returned the recorder to Xiao Chunnai. The recorder was quite heavy and he was hit hard by it just now.

If it weren't for the mask blocking his view, Koharuna would have definitely seen his grinning expression just now.

The performance on stage had just ended, so there was a break. The movement in the front row quickly attracted the attention of Kudo Shizuka and Nakamori Akina.

They were standing on the stage, a little far away, and at first they didn't hear Koharu Nai and the others calling Zhou Yan's name. They just observed what was happening here, and many people's eyes were looking in one direction.

The center of everyone's attention was a man wearing a baseball cap and a mask.

The man lowered his head slightly at this moment, looking cool, and this look reminded Shizuka Kudo of Zhou Yan, but she didn't dare to guess it was Zhou Yan.

But soon, she heard someone calling "Zhou Yanjun".

Is it really Zhou Yan?

A hint of joy flashed in Kudo Shizuka's eyes. She quickly walked a few steps to the edge of the stage and looked down at the man.

At this time Zhou Yan also knew that he was completely exposed, so he raised his head calmly, looked into Kudo Shizuka's eyes, and took off his mask at the same time.

When Shizuka Kudo met Zhou Yan's eyes, she recognized Zhou Yan.

She covered her mouth, looking surprised.

If there weren't ten or twenty thousand spectators in the audience, she probably wouldn't have been able to help but jump down and throw herself into Zhou Yan's arms.

They had clearly talked on the phone last night, when Zhou Yan was still in Beijing, and he said he was busy with work today, but I didn't expect him to come to Tokyo. This liar!

When she saw Zhou Yan next to Akina Nakamori, a flash of surprise flashed across her eyes. She was even more reserved than Shizuka Kudo.

Koharuna and the others in the front row noticed the two's surprise and were also very surprised.

Could it be that Shizuka and Akina didn't know Zhou Yan was coming to Shizuka's concert? Or did Zhou Yan attack by surprise?
The lighting engineer was also very considerate and directly added a beam of light on Zhou Yan. Now all the audience in the venue focused their attention on Zhou Yan.

The audience in the back row was too far away to see what was happening in the front row.

However, the news that Zhou Yan had arrived was slowly spreading by word of mouth at the scene.

After covering her mouth, Kudo Shizuka asked in Chinese: "Why are you here?"

This question confused most of the audience. What was Shizuka asking?
Zhou Yan gestured twice, meaning that he came to see the concert by himself.

Kudo Shizuka smiled and said to Zhou Yan, "Since you are here, come up and say hello to everyone."

Things had developed to this point, and Zhou Yan no longer had any friendship with them, so he nodded in agreement.

The security personnel made a hole for Zhou Yan to pass through, and then Zhou Yan walked up to the stage along the small steps next to him.

When he appeared on the stage, the audience burst into cheers.

At first, the people in the back row didn’t recognize Zhou Yan and didn’t know what they were cheering for. Later, when they heard Zhou Yan’s name, they started cheering too.

No one knew the details and thought Zhou Yan was a guest invited by Kudo Shizuka.

Although Zhou Yan wore a baseball cap and did not do any styling, he was wearing a very casual navy blue lapel coat, a black half-high collar sweater underneath, and a pair of leather shoes. He looked like a model standing there.

Standing between Shizuka Kudo and Akina Nakamori who were wearing their performance costumes, it didn't feel out of place at all.

Looking at Zhou Yan on the stage, Xiao Chunnai couldn't help but sigh that her feeling just now was right, this man was so handsome that he was almost invincible.

Why does a musician and director have to be so good-looking?
Even if you don't look at her face, her figure alone is enough, and her face is also top-notch.

Of course, only Shizuka in their family can be worthy of such a good man.

When she saw Wang Lihong just now, Xiao Chunnai's heart was captured by Wang Lihong for a moment, but now her heart is on Zhou Yan again.

Of course, both Zhou Yan and Wang Lihong are very handsome, but Zhou Yan's appearance has a stronger impact on her, and Zhou Yan has countless works as a bonus. In this aspect, Wang Lihong is still a little lacking.

When Zhou Yan walked onto the stage, the staff quickly brought him a microphone. He took the microphone and said hello with a smile, "Auntie, I'm the railway cleaner."

This greeting made many audience members burst into laughter. They didn't expect that the segment where Wang Lihong just greeted people would actually have a call back.

Kudo Shizuka also said at the right time, "No need for me to translate, you should all know that he is greeting you."

Some people who had not laughed yet were amused by Kudo Shizuka's serious and helpless expression.

Then, Kudo Shizuka took the lead and said to Zhou Yan, "Auntie washes the railway."

Akina Nakamori followed closely behind and said to Zhou Yan, "Auntie washes the railway."

The audience followed their example and greeted Zhou Yan, "Auntie is washing the railway."

Zhou Yan's original intention of greeting the audience was to make them laugh. Now that his goal had been achieved, he smiled. "My new movie is about to be released, so I came here to promote it. I heard that Shizuka was having a concert, so I came here. I originally wanted to watch the concert quietly and leave without letting anyone know, but I didn't expect to be recognized anyway."

After Kudo Shizuka helped him translate, the audience at the scene also understood what was going on. It turned out that Zhou Yan was not a guest, but was suddenly discovered.

Now everyone was even more excited because this was not only a surprise for them, but also for Shizuka.

Kudo Shizuka seized this opportunity and began to promote the movie to Zhou Yan again, "The Time Traveler will be shown in Japan soon, everyone must buy tickets to go to the cinema to watch it."

The audience shouted, "Tickets are no longer available."

"The tickets for the first few days have been sold out."

"I've already bought the tickets and I'm going to watch it."

"I can't buy a ticket, so I can only wait a few days to go and see it."

"This movie is so popular that it's impossible to buy tickets."

"We can't buy tickets, can you give us some?"

Many viewers believe that there is no need for Shizuka Kudo to promote this movie. As soon as the news of its release in Japan was announced, the movie attracted a lot of attention. After the cinema started selling tickets, movie fans rushed to buy them.

Right now in Tokyo, the prime-time shows of "Time Traveler" have been sold out a few days ago. If you want to watch it, you can only buy non-prime-time shows or buy tickets for a few days later.

This time, the screening of "Time Traveler" in Neon is very good. After all, Zhou Yan's previous movies have all had very good box office in Neon, and there haven't been any competitive movies released in Neon in recent times. Maybe the only movie that will put some pressure is "Detective Conan: Time Blast Skyscraper" in a while.

"Doraemon: Nobita's Wind-up Adventure" released last month did very well at the box office, but it has been released for a month as of today and does not pose any threat to "The Time Traveler".

Compared with those other movies, cinemas are certainly willing to schedule more screenings for "Time Traveler", and they are not against money.

It can be said that the most watched movie in Japan is "Time Traveler".

Even throughout the whole year, "Time Traveler" is the most watched imported film by Japanese audiences, even though this year's imported films include Hollywood blockbusters such as "Independence Day", "Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World", and "Star Wars Special Edition".

In recent years, Japan's film market has been greatly influenced by Hollywood, and most of the blockbusters imported from Hollywood have achieved good box office results.

However, people's attention to Hollywood movies is very different from their attention to Zhou Yan's movies. If Japanese audiences have to choose, they are more inclined to choose Zhou Yan's movies, because there are many Hollywood movies, but Zhou Yan's movies can not be watched every day.

This year, in Japan, the movie that has received more attention than "A Time Traveler" is probably Hayao Miyazaki's "Princess Mononoke".

However, the production of "Princess Mononoke" seems to have encountered some problems. The post-production has not been completed yet, and the release date of the film has not been decided yet.

I heard that Miyazaki has collapsed several times due to exhaustion for this movie and has been in the hospital for a long time. Fans are also conflicted. They want to see the new movie as soon as possible, but they are also worried that Miyazaki will collapse from exhaustion. (End of this chapter)
