Tokyo Sound

The man from Kansai who once came here riding on the wind was now carrying a suitcase, his bearded face full of unrestrainedness and recklessness.

"Brother Dao, remember to keep in touch. I'll come visit you when I have time." Yanbu Heyan was feeling a little depressed.

"Well, don't be sad. Parting is for a better meeting next time." Jin Shandao smiled, "This trip to Tokyo is really thrilling. I will remember this time forever."

"I'm a poor student who can't do anything. Even my sister despises me for not having a brother. No one has any expectations of me... If I hadn't met Dao Ge, I would definitely still be doing nothing and muddling through. I probably won't be able to get into college, but I will help the store manager and work hard to learn skills." Yanbe Heyan paused, "I used my salary to buy you a gift."

"You're thoughtful, but it's not necessary," Jin Shandao said, "Why not buy your dad a new phone, or your mom a new microwave, or your sister a new dress."

"I know all this, but Brother Dao, you are leaving today. No matter what, I have to express my gratitude." Yanbe Kazuhiko took out a gift bag, which contained a toy box. Through the plastic cover, he could see the Boxing Demon doll inside.

That's the Angry Ghost figure from Last Fist 5, and it's very finely crafted.

"Haha, it's really a suitable gift to end this journey. Okay, I'll accept it, and I promise you that I will keep it well." Jin Shandao smiled proudly and took out a silver trophy from his schoolbag, "I also have a gift for you."

"Is that the certificate for the runner-up in the previous competition?" Yanbe Kazuhiko quickly refused, "No, no! I can't have it!"

In the Kanto Video Game Competition, Jinshan Dao, as an amateur, defeated professional players including Banqiao Yuan and made it to the finals in one fell swoop. It was really an exciting game.

"I have embraced the arena of life. Now, it's up to you." Jin Shandao smiled faintly and kept handing out the silver trophy with no intention of taking it back.

"Brother Dao, I also promise you that I will keep it well..." Yanbe Heyan's eyes were slightly red. He took it with both hands solemnly and hugged it to his chest, "I'll take you to the station."

The two of them walked in this city that seemed not to belong to them, but was about to belong to them.

Passing the electrical appliance street on Jinshan Road, his figure is reflected in the glass on the right. Even though the reflection is hazy and broken, you can still see his curly black hair. Yes, the iconic golden highlights have been erased.

Jinshandao seemed a little sad, he stopped and stood still.

"Brother Dao, is there anything else you haven't done?" Yanbu Heyan couldn't help but ask.

Jin Shandao said nothing, just looked at the glass.

Yanbu Heyan sighed softly. He never expected that a remarkable man like Dao Ge would not be able to escape such a common practice at such a time.

Separation can extinguish indifference, but it can also deepen true love, just as the wind can blow out a candle, but it can also fan a flame.

Coming back is a poem, leaving is a lyric, and I dare not act rashly in the dust.

Kazuhiko Yanbe was infected by the atmosphere, his eyes became literary and melancholy, and he looked around... Then he found that Dao Ge was actually looking at the TV samples for sale behind the glass, and the sound of the TV could be heard faintly.

'A best-selling novel that has sold over 65 copies, a miracle.'

'That's an impossible challenge.'

"You will definitely pass—"

"It's a movie trailer or advertisement." Kazuhiko Kabe took a few steps forward to take a closer look. Oh, it's played by Kasumi Arimura. "Hey, the actor with the same name as the invincible master is named the same as this old-fashioned character, what a coincidence."

"I'm not leaving today." Jin Shandao suddenly said.

"Ah?" Yanbe Kazuhiko turned his head.

"I'll stay for another five days." Jin Shandao said lightly.

"It's changed so fast, but, but haven't you moved out of your house?" Yanbe Kazuhiko said.

"It's okay, just live in the Internet cafe." Jinshan said naturally.

"But we have exchanged parting gifts, and my tears are still welling up. The atmosphere has become so tense?" Yanbu Heyan touched the runner-up trophy and hesitated. "How about you leave today, Brother Dao? I think this will make the story more interesting?"

"?" Jinshan said.

……

Oshu City, Norikawa District.

This remote little village was once the filming location for a movie. The young crew was full of energy, creativity and vigor. Even now, when the elderly chat, they will mention the previous crew and talk with a smile about the interesting experience of being an extra.

The influence of movies is real. Even a niche film like "Little Forest" still attracts some tourists.

"Hello, Orina, grandpa and grandma are going to visit your city in a few days." An energetic old man was talking on the phone.

"Okay, take me with you to play." The girl said happily.

"Actually, the main reason is that I want to go to the movies, but there is no cinema in our mountain village," said the old man.

"What movie excites you so much?"

"Well, it's mainly to see the actors."

"You are still a fan? It can't be an actress, right? Won't your grandma teach you a lesson?" the girl was surprised.

"I am here to fulfill my promise. We agreed that when the young man becomes a well-known actor, I will go to the cinema to watch his works. Then, we will meet again."

The old man waved, and a big local dog named Lai Fu came over wagging its tail and rubbed its owner's trouser leg affectionately.

"Now that he has won a big award and has been in the newspapers and on the news, and has a new work, I will definitely go and see it."

During those days, someone not only took Lai Fu for a stroll on the street, but also helped move fish and drove a tractor to transport bamboo.

Chapter 78: Dreaming Back to Age 19

Film promotion is a science.

As the old saying goes, good wine needs no bush, but that depends on where the bush is.

The director went through a lot of trouble to give birth to the baby, so even if it receives bad reviews, it is better than no one caring about it.

Everyone, especially those who are creative, has a desire to achieve great things.

The key is to grasp it.

The consequences of a commercial movie failing are much more serious than the sudden demise of a TV animation.

In the famous food manga "Chuhanban", there is a punishment called "unpalatable mark". The villain chef who was murderous and lawless in the previous episode, after being branded, fell to his knees with two lines of tears flowing from the gaps between the flesh on his face. He immediately lost all his dignity and cried like a baby...

As long as you become "box office poison", no matter what your previous status was, you will be treated as an outdated artist by the market, unless you can make a comeback.

There will always be hotshots in a circle, and it doesn’t matter who they are.

Whether it’s artistic or not, it shouldn’t affect the uncles’ ability to make money.

No matter what everyone says, increasing the box office is everyone's common wish and the only goal after the filming and production of the movie is completed. Therefore, publicity and promotion actually only do one thing - selling tickets. A movie that can make money is a good movie in the popular sense. The company makes money, the actors gain fame, and the director is more likely to get investment, and everyone has a bright future.

The original work of "Gal" is a best-seller, the director is TBS's ace and a master of pure love movies, the main company is Toho, and the starring role is Kasumi Arimura who has become famous in recent years. It is a regular army movie, so naturally there was a lot of noise before its release.

There are posters on the streets, advertisements on television, offline activities, and actors can be seen promoting the show on various terrestrial programs.

Before the film was released, it was normal for the crew members to feel anxious and lose their hair. Everyone was doing their best to promote the film.

Yin Ze was also invited by Izumoto Shuji to participate in the event, but he had seamlessly joined Makoto's team before and was busy painting, so he had to decline several times... Although he said he would not go, he actually knew in his heart that since he had participated, he had to fulfill his obligations and cooperate.

In the past few years as a voice actor, there have been many famous scenes in broadcasts and activities, including various lifelong ghost materials. However, Yin Ze did not escape, and still worked diligently to create memes for the animation series to attract audiences.

Ueno Tenmangu Shrine in Nagoya enshrines the god of learning. Every year, candidates come here to burn incense and wish to be admitted to their favorite university, giving themselves a metaphysical buff. There are also two stone statues that look like old cows. It is said that touching the cow's head will make you smarter. With so many people coming and going, the cow's head has been polished to a bronze luster.

I made it to the list due to my own ability, and I failed because it must be because of the god’s inefficiency.

There was also a campaign to pray for the success of "Hot Girls".

In fact, when I first came to Tenmangu Shrine, I didn’t have any special feeling, because I had already met my god of examinations.

They are the chubby dean of studies and the skinny principal.

When I met the film crew again, there was also some encouragement and greetings.

"Teacher, we finally meet again." Arimura Kasumi sighed before the recording session. Her smile was still as sweet as an artist's, but she was obviously tired. "I've been running around alone these days. I finally have a partner this time."

"It's really hard work." Yin Ze comforted him, "You have tried your best, and the movie will definitely be a success."

"Teacher seems to be working harder. I heard from the producer that you are now doing two jobs, responsible for both drawing and dubbing?" Arimura Kasumi asked curiously.

"It just sounds impressive, but it's actually not worth mentioning." Yin Ze answered modestly.

"Haha, the teacher is different from Lecturer Tsubota. He doesn't speak very honestly." Arimura Kasumi smiled.

Unexpectedly, she could see through Bai Long's painted skin, which even many directors who had seen countless people could not see through.

During the recording later, I have to let Life Corridor adjust the facial disguise to avoid any mistakes.

After a brief preparation, the camera was set up.

The two put coins into the shrine's money box, clapped their hands and prayed, and then wrote their wishes on the painted horse.

"What did you two write?" asked Shuji Izumoto, the guest host.

"I wrote that I hope the movie 'Hot Girl' can receive recognition and attention. Because I heard that the god here is in charge of knowledge, I also wrote that I hope everyone can pass the exam." Arimura Kasumi held up a small wooden board with a red string.

"Efforts are not useless, the movie is about this, and what I wrote is 'perseverance'." Yin Ze also showed the small board and said, "The college entrance examination is the first test for many students to reach the level of life. Everyone will encounter setbacks and pain. I hope you can move forward patiently, experience the ups and downs, and then become strong and truly control the direction of life. I also sincerely wish that the candidates can give full play to their strengths, be admitted to their favorite universities, and usher in a beautiful spring."

"Is there anything you two haven't experienced since coming to Nagoya?" Izumoto Shuji continued to ask.

"…Actually, during the filming, I didn't have the chance to eat any delicious food. I didn't get to try miso fried pork cutlet, yakiniku eel, or anything like that." Arimura Kasumi said with some distress.

"I'm sorry." Yin Ze abruptly apologized to the actress.

"Ah? Why?" Arimura Kasumi opened his eyes wide.

"I've enjoyed all of what you said while filming in the local area." Yin Ze recalled, "The pork chop is golden in color, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, tender and delicious, with scallion oil and straw mushrooms, and the bell pepper is the finishing touch. In the 200-degree Celsius oven, the cheese melts into shreds and flows into the meat. One bowl of rice and vegetables is not enough, and I still want more."

"There's no need to go into so much detail!" Even though Arimura Kasumi often exercises his emotional intelligence at work, he couldn't help but fight back loudly.

"Anyway, I ate a lot." Yin Ze nodded vigorously.

"Very good." Arimura Kasumi also nodded.

“Really delicious.”

"It's really good."

"..." Izumoto Shuji was speechless. The teacher did have some sense of humor.

"Ms. Arimura, can you promote the movie in Nagoya dialect?" Izumoto Shuji said again.

"Please forgive me if I said anything wrong. I learned it from him. Any mistakes are his fault." Arimura Kasumi made a simple statement. She spoke in dialect, which had a cute flavor. "I watched this movie. Everyone should come and watch it."

"Come on." Yin Ze followed suit but only repeated the key words, revealing his utilitarian nature.

And these are not important.

Because true fans are always passionate and always have tears in their eyes.

"Of course I'll come!"

Hiroaki Tsuchiya, who watched the show on TV at home, was greatly encouraged and energized by his eldest brother's invitation.

The group chat was also very lively.

Single push fans have long wanted to spend money for love, but unfortunately there is no way. Someone has no Fans Club, no personal peripherals, no personal broadcast, and occasionally live broadcasts in the painting area have restricted the reward function.

This time, the movie is released in theaters. How can you and I let it down? At least we have to watch it twice!

The first one is an immersive viewing, and the second one is an appreciation of the details.

"Brother Dong: I'll be in Tokyo tomorrow!"

"Urban Strange Phlegm: Doesn't Osaka have a movie theater?"

"Brother Dong: I mainly want to build a team with my brothers."

"Stir-fried sweet potatoes: Great, great, we can all get together again."

"Heisei's Kong Ming: Haha, I'll pick you up at the station."

"Brother Dong: The group leader is a respected figure, why is it like this?"

"Heisei's Kong Ming: Hey, why are you saying this? We are all family members."

……

Yin Ze climbed out of bed, took down the dried clothes with a clothes fork and put them on.

Today is the release date of "Hot Girls", and I have received many messages from friends and colleagues in the past few days, most of which are about going to watch the movie and wishing him good grades in advance. Of course, some of them asked him to go to the movie together, but someone had already made an appointment with the dean of studies and the principal.

Although we have always been in touch and still give each other gifts during the Chinese New Year, what Mr. Onishi said is right. It is very meaningful to use this movie to indirectly express my gratitude for the selfless help in my past college entrance examination.

This time, Yin Ze planned to drive the "Mature and Pretty Young Woman" left by Brother Bai Jing.

Before leaving, I wanted to say hello to the girl upstairs, but she went out earlier and said in Line that she was going to play with Yamayagiri Kiyoka.

...My younger sister is dating the granddaughter of Yamaliu Sheng's family, and he is dating the grandfather of Yamaliu Sheng's family. What is going on?

Yin Ze got into the car with the pretty young woman, drove smoothly into the road, and headed towards the meeting place.

Both the dean of studies and the principal were old men with a sense of ritual in life. They had a lot of trouble with each other, but they were unanimous about the place where they would meet. Yes, it was at the school gate of Metropolitan No. 3 Middle School, where the dream began.
