Huayu: Director started with art films

Chapter 47 047 [Tetsuko’s house, the spring of inner beauty] Please follow up
That evening.

TV Asahi.

Inside the artist’s dressing room backstage at the recording studio.

"Quanshui, the next director who will be recording with you on the same stage is a famous director from China. Although he is very young, he has already won the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival in Europe. You must show enough respect."

The agent kept talking non-stop, and it gave Izumi Sakai a headache. "Mr. Kuroda, I know this director. He wrote the single we are about to release."

"So we have to respect Director Li even more. He has won a big award at such a young age. His future is limitless."

In the film and television industry all over the world, film directors are often more respected than entertainers and singers, and Japan is no exception.

Manager Kuroda was afraid that Izumi Sakai, who had just debuted for half a year, would offend this Chinese director who was highly valued by Toho Co., Ltd. on the show, so he kept nagging her, because he knew his artist's personality very well.

Or maybe Kuroda didn't know what the Chinese director's personality was like.

If he was the type of person who liked to receive compliments and admiration from others, Kuroda could already imagine the director's unhappy expression.

It’s just because Izumi Sakai really doesn’t know how to communicate with strangers.

She sings at night and catches up on sleep during the day. Apart from her family, the people she interacts with the most are staff members like Kuroda. She is basically a workaholic. How can you expect her to say nice words of compliment to someone who has almost no social life?

"I understand. Don't say anything more, Mr. Kuroda."

"Okay, I won't say any more. After you finish putting on your makeup, before recording the show, I'll take you to visit Director Li."

"Okay, you go out first."

After Kuroda's agent left, Sakai Izumi shook her head helplessly, and then she silently put on light makeup.

She doesn't really like other people putting makeup on her because it always fails to achieve the effect she wants.

Ten minutes later.

Izumi Sakai followed Kuroda's agent and came to the door of Li Yishu's lounge.

Kuroda walked up and knocked gently on the door.

"coming."

Soon there was a noise from inside. After the door opened and he saw that the person coming was Ichiro Tanaka, Kuroda immediately smiled and said, "Mr. Tanaka, Ms. Sakai knew that Director Li was coming, so she came here in person to visit Director Li."

Tanaka Ichiro looked back at Li Yishu, and when he saw him nod, he took a step back and said, "Come in."

The two entered the house.

When Izumi Sakai came in with her head down, she noticed that a young man who looked to be about twenty years old stood up in the house.

He has a neat short hair, regular facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes.

This is a little different from the impression Izumi Sakai has of those great directors.

"Director Li, I'm Kuroda, Sakai Izumi's agent."

Manager Kuroda introduced with a smile: "This is Izumi Sakai who will be recording the show with you next."

"Arikado is such a jerk!"

Izumi Sakai walked forward, bowed respectfully and in a standardized manner, then stood up and said in English: "Hello, I am Izumi Sakai. I will record the program with you later. Thank you for your guidance."

Li Yishu extended her hand, "Hello Ms. Sakai, nice to meet you."

"I'm glad to meet you, too."

Izumi Sakai smiled stiffly, shook hands with the other party briefly, then immediately retracted her smile and turned around to take out a copy of her first EP album from her agent Kuroda.

"Director Li, this is my first EP album this year. I hope you like it."

"Thank you."

Li Yishu took the EP album handed over by the other party, glanced at the photo of Izumi Sakai holding her chin on the album, smiled and said:
"I heard from Mr. Tanaka before that Ms. Sakai is the lead singer of a popular rock band in Japan. I will listen to this album carefully."

"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Tanaka. I am still working hard to learn." After bowing to Ichiro Tanaka beside him, Izumi Sakai quietly retreated to the side of his agent Kuroda.

Seeing this, the agent Kuroda also had a headache. His artist was good in everything, he sang well and looked good, but his personality made him really unsuitable to be an artist.

Although Izumi Sakai is the lead singer of a rock band, she does not have the usual flamboyant personality of rock singers.

Apart from bursting with passion on stage and during singing, Izumi Sakai is more reserved and calm in private, with a somewhat introverted personality.

However, in this situation, Kuroda, as an agent, must step forward and say, "I'm sorry, Director Li, this is the first time Quan Shui has met a great director like you, so she is a little restrained and nervous."

"It's okay. It's normal to be nervous and reserved when you first meet someone."

Li Yishu glanced at Izumi Sakai who was beside her agent Kuroda.

I have to say that this girl does have the potential to become very famous. She looks like an artistic goddess, but the songs she sings are mostly passionate rock songs.

This sense of contrast is very similar to that of Angela Zhang later on, a girl who looks delicate and weak, but can shock people when she sings high notes.

After getting to know each other for a while, manager Kuroda saw that Izumi Sakai was indeed not in the mood to continue the conversation, so he apologized and took her away.

After everyone left, Ichiro Tanaka said, "Please don't mind, Mr. Li. I have also heard about Sakai Izumi's personality. She is indeed not like those rock artists."

In the public's perception, rock singers are all a bit self-conversant and have a high degree of self-entertainment.

Even female rock singers tend to be extroverts.

There are really few people with a personality like Izumi Sakai...

No, it's rare!
"It's okay, Mr. Tanaka. I like people with quiet personalities like Ms. Sakai."

Li Yishu waved her hand to show that she didn't care.

He quite likes rock singers with the same personality as Izumi Sakai. After all, rock singers should be passionate in the songs, so why should they have so much fun offline?
Beyond band, Cui Jian...these people's songs can make people's blood boil, but they haven't seemed crazy in private.

outside.

Kuroda, who left with Izumi Sakai, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and said, "It seems that Director Li is easy to talk to."

"Well, it's okay." Izumi Sakai actually wanted to communicate with the other party because she really liked that English song, but because of her personality, she really didn't know how to interact with strangers.

Tetsuko's Room, whose Japanese name is Tetsuko's Room, is a rare long-running talk show in Japan.

It was first broadcast in 1976 and has been 15 years now. The host, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi, has become a household name in Japan thanks to this show.

It is somewhat similar to America's "The Oprah Winfrey Show", both shows made the hosts famous both at home and abroad.

Before the recording of the program, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi also had a conversation with Lee Yi-su. Her English is not very good, so Izumi Sakai will help to relay it. The content of the script is mostly centered around Lee Yi-su personally and the movie "The Mountain, the Man, the Dog" which will be released in Japan soon.

"Good evening, dear audience friends, welcome back to Tetsuko's room!"

Tetsuko Kuroyanagi walked into the venue from the backstage and greeted the camera as usual. Soon after she sat down, she began to talk incessantly about some interesting things that happened in Japan recently. As she chatted, she talked about a Chinese movie that was about to be released.

"Let us welcome the director of this film, Lee Ye-seo Lee-kun, and the rock singer Ms. Izumi Sakai who will sing the promotional theme song."

When Li Yishu and Izumi Sakai walked out one after another, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi couldn't help but laugh and said, "What a perfect match! Our Director Li and Ms. Sakai look like a perfect match."

Because she couldn't understand Japanese, Li Yishu responded with a smile, but Izumi Sakai's face turned a little red.

She only officially debuted at the beginning of this year, and the few programs she participated in were mostly singing-oriented, and she would leave the stage after singing.

I've never participated in this kind of talk show before, so I felt a little embarrassed by Tetsuko Kuroyanagi's words.

"Ms. Sakai is shy, but it's okay. Just be open and honest. You can't let the audience laugh at you."

Seeing that she was embarrassed, Tetsuko Kuroyanagi did not continue talking about this topic. She warmly invited the two to sit down before starting the formal conversation.
