Chapter 1435: Eating Melons

In this world, Mi Xiaoran is not the only one who understands the goodness of China and the kindness of Beijing people.

In this era, she is not the only one who is plotting how to break through the numerous obstacles in the absurd and mercenary capitalist world and escape back to her hometown full of human touch.

On the evening of December 31, 1987, there were actually other people plotting similar things.

They were planning how to sneak into the mainland to participate in the rehearsal of this year's Spring Festival Gala, and how to deal with the aftermath of this matter.

However, at this moment, they were attending the Japan Record Awards ceremony at the Nippon Budokan. Before they had time to discuss this important matter and related details in the audience seats, they had eaten a big melon in the Japanese entertainment industry.

It turned out that the final result of this year's awards was a big upset that the audience did not expect. Kondo Masahiko won the record award with the sales of 150,000 copies of his new song.

However, this record award was not won by Kondo legitimately, but was obtained due to various secret operations of Johnny's Office, and the tricking of Akina Nakamori into giving up the vote.

The most amazing thing is that at this time, Kondo Masahiko had just exposed the scandal of cheating with Hong Kong's "Sister Mei", and Akina Nakamori not only did not pursue it, but also used her own resources and abilities to help Kondo get the award. This makes people wonder if her brain is broken.

So much so that there was an uproar at the scene.

That's not all. At this time, Kondo Masahiko's mother also accidentally encountered a car accident.

In order not to affect his award presentation, Kondo refused to send his mother to the hospital, resulting in his mother's death due to untimely treatment.

Therefore, the Japanese Yakuza who disliked him finally did what a knight should do.

They snatched Kondo Masahiko's mother's urn and asked him not to accept the award, otherwise he would never see his mother's relics again.

But Kondo Masahiko was unexpectedly a ruthless person. He didn't care at all and actually accepted the award openly.

In short, this famous scene of the century was a feast for the eyes of Ning Weimin and Teresa Teng who were present at the scene.

They sat together and witnessed how shameless this scumbag of the century could be.

Especially Teresa Teng, if she didn't know so much inside information, it would be fine, but after the "most comprehensive insider" Ning Weimin whispered to her about the whole story.

When she saw Kondo Masahiko didn't mention Nakamori Meicai at all when he gave his acceptance speech, and he even thanked his mother who might have been thrown into the sea, she felt nauseous and almost vomited.

"Wow, is this true? Nakamori is so stupid, she shouldn't do such a stupid thing. How could such a person who doesn't even care about his own parents have any feelings for her! To be honest, I am completely dumbfounded."

"As the saying goes, there must be something hateful about pitiful people. Too many people have advised her to stay away from Kondo, and even many of her fans have seen that this guy is not genuine. But she still insists on throwing herself into the fire, who can she blame? A clear mind is a good thing, but not everyone has it. You can see it clearly, but she may not."

"You are so cruel. This doesn't sound like something you would say. "

"I am just telling the truth. Medicine cannot cure incurable diseases, but Buddha can save those who are destined to be saved. If she cannot wake up, no one can save her. Of course, this may be a common problem among Japanese women. Many Japanese girls like to put everything on men. Even if she is as outstanding as she is, she is not like us Chinese girls who know how to be self-reliant. If she can be half as smart as you and have a little bit of your backbone, her life will be more brilliant. It's this poor Kondo. "

Hearing the enlightenment hidden in Ning Weimin's words, and thinking of her own divorce, Teresa Teng was stunned for a moment, as if she had a glimmer of enlightenment.

But she was a little upset, "Hey, hey, hey, what are you talking about? Are you making fun of me?"

"No way." Ning Weimin deliberately imitated her Taiwanese accent to interrupt, "I really praise you, please, my Miss Deng, you are the queen of Asia, the pride of our Chinese people. Can you be more confident?"

Teresa Teng tried hard to hold back her laughter, gritted her teeth, pretended to be slightly angry, turned her head and glared at Ning Weimin before she stopped.

Then he continued to talk to himself, "I still can't believe it. How could it be such an absurd result? This is a bit too much. Nakamori's "Shipwreck" sold 400,000, but she didn't win the award, and Kondo won! How will the Grand Prize Committee explain to the audience?"

"What's so strange about this? Isn't it strange that Nakamori won the Grand Prize? If we really talk about sales, who can have a higher record than yours? The theme song of "Li Xianglan", "Please Don't Go", has sold more than 650,000 singles this year, right? You are an enka singer, and your sales can far exceed those of idol singers. In terms of strength, who else is more qualified to win the Grand Prize than you?"

This is indeed the truth, but Teresa Teng heard some teasing in Ning Weimin's words, and couldn't help but get angry again, "Again, you still say no? You obviously made fun of me."

Perhaps because the voice was a little louder, someone in the front row turned around and glanced.

Seeing this, Ning Weimin stopped joking and said seriously, "Don't get me wrong, I just want to tell you that this grand prize is just a game of capital. There have always been shady dealings, and this award is not pure at all. Otherwise, you would have won the grand prize on your own. Why would you need my help? So don't think of this award as sacred. From a fairness perspective, it is far less valuable than the cable broadcast award you win every year. And I think the result this time is too outrageous. Maybe after this grand prize, the record awards will be The ratings collapsed. Let’s not talk about Nakamori, let’s talk about you, Hiroshi Itsuki, who is not better than him. The award can be run to this extent, which will make the Grand Prize Committee regret it. I feel sorry for TBS. A good program was ruined by Kondo. So, if you are invited to the Record Awards again in the future, you must think carefully. We don’t have to accommodate them anymore. Oh, by the way, I haven’t congratulated you yet. You have won the Cable Broadcasting Awards for four consecutive times. This is an amazing achievement. "

Teresa Teng was not embarrassed this time. She said thank you and smiled sincerely.

For someone like Ning Weimin who is good at praising people, almost every word he said touched her heart.

Come to think of it, she was very excited when she received the award after winning the Record Awards for the first time last year.

At that time, her mind was completely blank, and she couldn’t even remember what she said or did.

She even shed tears of joy.

But now it seems that it is really unnecessary.

She didn’t discriminate against those idol artists in Japan.

But an artist like Kondo who is obviously not good in all aspects can win the grand prize just by relying on the operation of the agency.

Overwhelming other contestants whose strength and achievements are far superior to his, this makes this award completely lose its luster and lose its due meaning.

Winning this award again is no longer an honor, but a shame!

In short, she has really let it go now and will no longer have any obsession with this award.

"You are right. It is really meaningless to cheat in this record award to such an undisguised degree."

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 the vast Chinese market. I will soon sing in Tiananmen Square, and I am very excited just thinking about it."

Ning Weimin couldn't help but laugh a little when she heard her say this, "You are not afraid of the cold, but the temperature in Beijing at this time of year can freeze you to death."

"You are really good at picking on other people's grammatical errors. What I mean is that I finally have the opportunity to participate in the Spring Festival Gala that Chinese people watch the most, and sing my songs to more than one billion of the same I have been looking forward to this for a long time. But to be honest, when I think about going to Beijing after New Year's Day, I am a little scared. "

"Are you afraid of our mainland? No way. Didn't you go to Beijing last time and meet with the leader? Didn't you have a good talk? You won't change your mind when the time comes? "

"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 on the island is the so-called "outsiders". Therefore, my roots are in the mainland. Why should a descendant of the Chinese nation like me be afraid of the mainland? "

"Then you... are you saying... On the island?"

"Well, the island is a little different from the mainland. Some people are completely unreasonable. They don't ask me to sing like here and don't ask me to do anything else. We are friends, so I'm telling you the truth. I have been living like a gypsy in recent years, wandering around. And it's the people on the island that make it difficult for me to return home. Now I don't want to go back to the island at all. Living in the harbor is more comfortable than anywhere else. Although I miss my family very much, and although the island is also my hometown and has a warm side, this place is also a place I want to escape from and is difficult to deal with. Because some people are simply too hateful. Yes, I'm talking about the island's government, the press, and the formation The force that prevents me from moving freely. They disgust me, and they all want to restrain me, always making me do things I don't want to do. And whether you believe it or not, I can hardly think of any happy memories from my childhood on the island. I was often bullied in school when I was a child, and there were no children to play with me. Some of the native people who originally lived on the island hated the outsiders from the mainland. I was also bullied because I was an outsider. I couldn't go to school like ordinary children, and I had to sing to support my family since I was a child. This is why I had to go to London to study. "

Ning Weimin completely believed that Teresa Teng's words were absolutely not made up.

In fact, he had heard from Funaki Minoru that after the "passport incident", when Teresa Teng became popular in Japan again, her career was often deliberately made difficult by the islanders.

Not only did the reporters on the island spread unfounded rumors and slander against her, but even more excessively, the government authorities on the island deliberately did not issue Teresa Teng a passport, sincerely making it difficult for her to fulfill her contract to perform in Japan.

Even Japanese people like Funaki Minoru can't understand this.

Isn't it an honor for Teresa Teng's overseas fame to be famous for her hometown?

Then why did her hometown still target her, hurt her, and make things difficult for her?

"Don't worry, the situation is different this year, and cross-strait relations have broken the ice. When I got married, there was no sign of it, and no one thought that this matter would make such great progress. Now, as the island government has taken some open measures in terms of visiting relatives in the mainland, economic and cultural exchanges, the isolation between the two sides of the strait for nearly 38 years has been broken. In this case, it is not an exaggeration for you to come to the mainland to perform. And I have already arranged that after the New Year, you will go to Beijing with Fei Xiang, Zun Long, and of course, Miss Mai will accompany you. In name, the main actors of Crazy Rich Asians must abide by the contract and promote Crazy Rich Asians. If someone on the island really wants to make things difficult for you afterwards, you can just blame it on Fog Studios. We have already agreed to use the breach of contract to fend them off. If you don't go, you will have to bear huge losses and be sued for tens of millions of dollars. Just ask those people if they want to pay for you? "

Ning Weimin tried his best to say good things and comfort Teresa Teng. He analyzed the situation and talked about the means, but it was a pity that there was no effect.

Although Teresa Teng nodded and said yes, it can be seen from her expression that she obviously did not have much confidence in some people on the island and was also worried about whether she could successfully solve those troubles.

Ning Weimin thought about it and said again.

"I also want to tell you a good news. I can almost get Miss Mai the opportunity to direct the movie "Bodyguard" that you and Miura Tomokazu will start shooting next year. Considering that she knows you and your life well enough, and she is from Hong Kong, she has a better understanding of the action director from Hong Kong. I think she is a more suitable director for this movie. So please tell her this news, and let her have a happy New Year."

"Thank you, thank you very much, I am really happy for her."

This did have some effect, and Teresa Teng finally smiled a little.

Seeing that her good friend Mai Lingzhi's career has improved and finally got a chance to stand out, it did dilute some of her sorrow.

But how to say it, it still tastes a bit of forced smile.

Ning Weimin is not a hard-hearted person to treat friends. Seeing her like this, he really can't bear it.

After thinking about it, he simply made a less rational choice. He took the initiative to persuade Teresa Teng to quit.

"Teresa, if you really regret it now, it's not 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. If you go, you go. It may not be so coincidental in the future. So you don't have to think so much. Just ask yourself, will you regret going or not? If you really feel too much pressure and can't bear it, I won't force you. On the contrary, I will explain to the leaders on the mainland for you. I think they will understand your difficulties."

It's easy for Ning Weimin to say this, he is fulfilling his friend's loyalty.

If something goes wrong with this matter, he may not be able to withstand the thunder that strikes.

At that time, not only will he be unable to bear it, but Huo Yanping may also suffer because of his instigation.

But the problem is that some things are sincere and sincere, and putting yourself in a desperate situation can actually get things done.

After hearing his words, Teresa Teng was really moved. She obviously knew how much responsibility Ning Weimin had to bear for her. So she wiped her eyes lightly and smiled.

"Who said I won't go? I've made up my mind. I will go sooner or later. Otherwise, I will never be willing. It's better to go early than late. I don't want to disappoint the fans who hope for my songs. I don't want to disappoint you either. Oh, I almost forgot that you are my boss now. I'm sorry."

Seeing her like this, Ning Weimin finally felt relieved and smiled with relief.

Unexpectedly, Teresa Teng said, "However, I have something else to tell you. The matter you asked me to do was not going well. I really have been asking friends to find you. Sorry."

"Hey, what do I ask you to do?" Ning Weimin was a little puzzled.

"Looking for someone, aren't you looking for that Mr. Song?"

"Hey, what's wrong with you? Didn't I call you last Spring Festival and tell you not to bother with this matter?"

"What? You called me? Is that true?"

"Of course it's true. You were playing mahjong with a few friends in your house in Hong Kong City. Let me think, you told me there were Brigitte Lin, Mai Lingzhi, and who else..."

"Is that so? Hey, I seem to have some impression... Sorry, I probably forgot... I know, I'll just stop with this matter for now."

Ning Weimin was really speechless now.

It turned out that he had wasted his money on the phone bill, because this guy ignored all his words and didn't take them to heart.

This Deng is confused.
