Chapter 42 Advice? I'll Come?

Gao Feng Hideko suddenly came to Ai Fei's office three days later. The two men in the room took off their closest clothes. Even so, they were still wiping their sweat. The visit of a lady made both of them feel a little panicked. The moment they opened the door and saw clearly, Sakai Qima closed the door again: "Is it Ms. Gao Feng?"

"Ga?" Ai Fei was also shocked, and quickly grabbed his clothes and put them on his body, shouting in his mouth: "I'm sorry, please wait!"

"Hi Yi!" Gao Feng Xiuzi suppressed her smile and heard her voice: "Please take your time, don't worry!"

After a while, the door opened again, Ai Fei scratched his hair childishly and opened the door: "I'm sorry, it's so rude! Please come in!"

Gao Feng Xiuzi pursed her lips and laughed: "It's nothing, I'm taking the initiative and disturbing me."

"Hey, Sakai Kun, bring the electric fan to Ms. Hideko, you are such a fool!"

"Hi Yi!" The small electric fan moved closer, turned on the switch, Ai Fei quickly poured water for the customer. After he was busy, sweat beads appeared on his body, which was already sweating: "I'm very sorry, I was so rude last time! Please forgive me!"

Seeing Gao Feng Xiuzi apologizing to herself with the most formal etiquette, Ai Fei quickly stood up and returned the respectfully: "Don't say that, the last time I was too impulsive, I should have apologized to Ms. Gao Feng."

Once again, the host and guest were seated, Gao Feng Xiuzi blinked her eyes: "This time she came here, in addition to expressing her most sincere apology to you, there is another important point, that is, please make further evaluation of my performance! Please help me!"

"How can this work?" Ai Fei's first reaction was to refuse: "This is absolutely not possible. I just made inappropriate analysis and judgment on the level of my understanding of my work. I don't understand the performance at all. Ms. Gao Feng, you must have come to the wrong place. Whether it is Oshima Nagisa or Kurosawa Akira, they are the objects you should beg for. I am just an 18-year-old child. Isn't this a joke to ask me to guide your performance?"

The girl smiled bitterly: "For these three days, I have been watching the movies performed by me and your works... Although I was reluctant to admit it, I know that your words make sense. A movie that was adapted from a novel that was originally just a detective, haha... I actually performed it as a performance like a canal drama, which is really ridiculous when I think of it!"

"Even if this is the case, it cannot be a reason to find me as your performance judge, right?"

"It was not possible, but I just wanted to hear the opinions of the original author of the novel and the opinions of the characters."

"So that's how it is?" Ai Fei smiled and said, "It's simple. I think you are really here to ask me to give some advice for your performance! Haha... I'm sorry!"

His childish actions made Gao Feng Xiuzi laugh: "Although this is the case, I really want to trouble Ai Feijun, please!"

"Nothing, nothing!" Ai Fei smiled and said, "I originally wanted to go to the scene to see the filming of this movie, but I have too much work recently, so I have to let it go temporarily. Hehe, I didn't expect that you guys would be so efficient! Well, now you can tell me what kind of explanation is needed?"

"What I want to know is the inappropriate feeling that you mentioned in your conversation with me three days ago, after bringing some of the performance styles of Noh Drama in daily performances into the filming of the film. Which performance should you use more suitable for the performance at that time?"

"Actually, there is a big misunderstanding here. Some people think that performances are just moving performances on the stage to the camera. In fact, there are too many differences here. The performance of Neng Opera is a bit similar to that of Chinese opera performances. Everything on the stage is abstract and freehand, while the performance of the film is the opposite, concrete and realistic. Or it can be said that what you are like in life and what you are in front of the camera is the basic requirement for third-rate actors. If you ask yourself that you can't even do this, I advise you to give up this profession simply?!"

"Then..." Sakai Shima was listening and couldn't help but interrupt: "Xiao Aijun, what do you think are the abilities that second-rate and first-rate actors can master?"

"The so-called second-rate actors are able to integrate their roles, turn themselves into the person you want to play, and complete the performance in front of the camera; while the first-rate actors have no performances. They have even forgotten that they are shooting videos in front of the camera, and they are completely in a detached, bird's eye view attitude to do their work. Until the end of the shooting, they will return to the real state of life! Believe me, in Japan now, there is no one who can do this, as far as I know, there is no one yet!"

"Bump!" The door of the room was knocked on. Sakai Shima walked over and opened the door, and was stunned immediately! It turned out that it was Osamu Tezuka standing outside the door, smiling and greeting him: "Saki Kun, it's been a long time since I saw you! Are you okay?"

"Ah!" Sakai Nanma reacted: "Tezuka, welcome, please come in?"

"So, it's disturbing."

"Ai Jun...Ai Jun?" Sakai Nanma greeted Ai Fei: "Tezuka Jun is here!"

Ai Fei didn't expect that Osamu Tezuka would suddenly come to his office. Looking back, isn't it? Osamu Tezuka was wearing a Hawaiian-like ethnic costume. He looked extremely weird and funny in this Japanese-style office. He was wearing a straw hat with a wide brim on his head. He was standing in front of him and Hideko Gao Feng, bowing and saluting: "It's a risky one, disturbing me!"

Gao Feng Xiuzi lowered her head and didn't say anything. Then she stood up from her position: "I think I should say goodbye and leave. Thank you very much for your advice!"

"Don't be polite, it's just an immature suggestion. I hope it will help you."

"So, please allow me to say goodbye."

Sending Gao Feng Hideko away, Ai Fei turned around and looked at Osamu Tezuka: "Saki Kung, pour tea for Tezuka... or coffee? Sorry, I only have these two drinks."

"Just tea. Thank you."

"Then..." Ai Fei invited Osamu Tezuka to sit down and sat down behind the desk: "Tezuka Jun came to my office this time, but is there anything you can tell me?"

"..." Osamu Tezuka smiled: "Actually, there is nothing. I just think the newly published "jump" is very suitable for my thoughts, and I want to see its author."

"Thank you for your praise from Tezuka. My new magazine is just an immature work. It must not be compared with Tezuka's masterpiece "The Great Emperor of the Forest". However, I have received a lot of inspiration from Tezuka's works!"

"Haha... Ai Jun is so shy! With his own ability, he achieved a record of selling 100,000 comics in Tokyo. This is definitely not an "immature" work, right?"

"Okay, the chat time is over, let's talk about something serious? Tezuka-kun, you're going to come to my office just to praise my work, right?"

"Of course not. Although I don't need to control a company by myself like Ai Jun... Well, it's such a small company!"

“…………”

Seeing that the other party's face turned a little dark, Osamu Tezuka appropriately stopped the joke: "Although this is the case, my time is also very precious. I think Ai Jun also knows... In addition to being a relatively successful cartoonist, I am also a person who is preparing to pass the doctorate in medicine..."

"Tezuka, no matter how you talk to anyone, you just start with such a chat. Oh, of course, do you still keep boasting about your education?"

"Hahahaha!" Osamu Tezuka laughed in a loud voice: "I like you! Do you know? I really like you very much! Mr. Ai Fei, do you know? Since I first saw your work, I have fallen in love with the characters in your works. His name is Shin-shi, right? Moreover, through him, I also fell in love with the guy who created him. Intuition tells me that the author who can draw such pictures must be a cute and fun guy in life! Now I know that my guess is correct."

Ai Fei scratched his head helplessly: "Tezuka, as you said, my time is precious, so, can we just bypass those polite language and get to the point?"

"Okay..." Osamu Tezuka stopped fucking him: "Mr. Ai Fei, I came here, in addition to seeing this author who made me interesting and fun, I just wanted to see if there is any possibility of cooperation between us."

"We cooperate?" Ai Fei couldn't help but repeat the other party's words: "Why are your cooperation with the school children's club unhappy?"

"It may not be unpleasant. On the contrary, in the school children's club, I always get the highest standard of courtesy. However, as a writer - if a guy who draws comics can also be called a writer - what I need is... Sorry, I correct it. It should be said that in addition to the high standard of courtesy, I also need to listen to feedback from different groups and readers, especially some opinions that can be helpful to my creation. In the school children's club, unfortunately, they cannot meet me in this regard!"

"I understand." Ai Fei raised his head and smiled bitterly at Sakai Shima who was sitting not far away: "But this should not be the reason why you and the schoolchildren club terminated their cooperation, right?"

"Of course not! And I didn't think about terminating my cooperation with the schoolchildren's club. I just wanted to publish another work of my own in your company's "jump", what do you think?"

Ai Fei pretended not to see Sakai Nanma's anxious eyes, but calmly raised the corners of his mouth: "I wonder which of your works Tezuka-kun is willing to hand over to my magazine for publishing?"

Without even waiting for Osamu Tezuka to walk down the stairs, Sakai Shima walked to Ai Fei's desk: "Ai Jun, why do you do this? Don't you know what kind of benefits and sensational effects Tezuka's arrival will bring to our studio? Don't you know Tezuka's status among the Japanese people, especially among comic lovers?"

"Of course I know!"

"If that's the case, why don't you agree to his request for cooperation immediately? Do you still have to pick among his works?"

"Kun Sakai, although I am much younger than you, please don't forget that in this small company, I am your superior! So, when talking to me, it is best to maintain a little bit of minimum respect!"

Sakai Nanma's face turned red and he said a few words: "...I'm sorry!"

"I know that Sakai Jun's words just now are for the publication and distribution of magazines, but please don't forget that Osamu Tezuka is the main source of comic works in the School Children's Club. If we agree to cooperate with him without hesitation, we will be very embarrassed when facing Mr. Kato and others of the School Children's Club in the future. Another thing is that no one can publish their works in my magazine with just a few words! Even Osamu Tezuka, it's not possible! I am willing or unwilling to use his works, not to look at his fame. Sakai Jun, you have to remember this matter, no matter how famous the author is, even me, if you can't come up with a work that can make people look at it after you can't show it, you must never sign a contract with him!"

"Hi!" Sakai Nanma bowed heavily and replied loudly.
