Although I don’t know the price of the so-called golden Mandheling, since I’m buying coffee.

You definitely can't say that you just pat your butt and leave after eating.

So Xu Xin chatted with her there. At first they talked about animation, but then they gradually talked about movies. They bought her a cup of coffee, and Xu Xin invited her to watch a movie. Chen Rui was quite unusual. After all, he could

Saw Hawthorn in advance, even though he's not a movie buff.

And the threshold for the Tokyo Film Festival is not particularly high. You only need to go to the official website to make an appointment to purchase tickets, lock in the show you want to watch, and grab the tickets.

But Xu Xin personally invited him, which was a big deal, so he agreed naturally and left each other's phone numbers.

Although the actual point is very strange, I did not mention it when I encountered it twice in a row by chance.

How small is this probability given the population base of China? Just looking at the size of the city of Tokyo, this is quite a fate.

After chatting for a cup of coffee, the last few people walked out together and agreed to meet tomorrow morning and then go their separate ways. Xu Xin had no intention of going anywhere else and returned directly to the hotel. While sitting in the car,

He is still thinking about it.

The overall feeling of this visit to the maid cafe was quite interesting, and it was definitely not a boring place. But he estimated whether he would come here for the second time, and it probably wouldn't be the case. After understanding some things, he was no longer interested.

.

But looking at the neon lights in Tokyo, he still asked Ai Kamigen about Kabukicho, but Ai Kamigen's answer was very official. It is one of the entertainment centers in Tokyo. After seeing the movie theater, Putin Bar and various fun places

They are all available, but it is not recommended for foreigners to go because there are dark bars there.

As for the so-called red light district, Shangyuan Ai didn't mention it at all. I don't know whether it was because of national pride that didn't allow it, or because Xu Xin didn't mind it and didn't even have the intention to comment on it. He ignored it after seeing that she said it in a general way.

When he returned to the hotel, he took a look at the hotel bathtub while taking a shower. After thinking about it, he still didn't take a bath. He just took a quick shower and then lay on the bed, watching TV programs that he didn't understand and calling Yang Mi.

.

The couple has been together for so many years. As long as it is not a particularly late or busy day, a phone call is the most basic thing. For my husband, he went to the maid.

Yang Mi didn't pay much attention to the matters in the cafe, because he knew that her husband's XP was not higher than that of the maids, and he was just watching the fun.

But when she heard about the prosperity of Akihabara, she regretted it and gritted her teeth. Did you go to the Riban area to look for it? I couldn't find it. I shouldn't have found it.

I watched cartoons and some movies.

Those adult magazines are all sold in convenience stores. Akihabara is the holy land of two dimensions in the world. How could it be possible that convenience stores that don’t sell erotic magazines do have pornographic magazines? I don’t know what the content is in them. I just went to buy water. There are also

Follow the translator, I'm so embarrassed to see how boring it is, I'll ask you to go shopping tomorrow if you have something to do.

Do you remember those cartoons we watched? What was the name of the production company? What is the name of MILY? The animations of that company looked good. Anyway, I talked to my husband on the phone in the middle of the night and made a few pornographic remarks.

It’s nothing.

After Xu Xin thought about it for a while, he really couldn't remember the name of the animation company. He couldn't remember it.

Who pays attention to the name of the company? It all depends on the style of painting and content. You can buy some back. Sister, I am a director after all, I didn’t tell you.

Today I said I was going to a maid cafe to translate, but the look in my eyes was wrong. I said again that I was going to buy a yellow plate. If you start talking, you are a thin-skinned person, but it doesn’t matter, I am thick-skinned.

Next time we go there, I'll buy some 30 or 50 pieces. I'll buy a genuine one after watching it for free for so many years. If I support it, I'll give you a deduction at the customs.

After unpacking and checking, I see that you are satisfied with the yellow and fat suitcase, okay? Your reputation in China is quite bad. Hahahaha. That’s quite embarrassing. Can you stop laughing? Hahahaha. Brother, everyone wants to watch the movie.

I really regret marrying you.

Really, what on earth did I do in my last life to marry such a thing like you, hahaha, it’s too late, hum, Brother Monkey

, I’m going to sleep, old pig, so hurry up, hahahahaha.

Xu Xin had a nightmare that night, dreaming that he was being hugged and gnawed by a pig, which scared him to death. It was ten o'clock in the morning on the 4th.

For the films in the film festival, it was the best time. Xu Xin took Roppongi and met Chen Rui in a shopping mall here. However, if he didn't watch the finished film of Hawthorn with Chen Rui, he would have seen through it himself.

As a surprise film, Hawthorn Tree had three screenings at the Tokyo Film Festival. Today was the last one. He just gave Chen Rui his ticket and told him.

He had an interview next door, so Chen Rui didn't mind. He nodded with a smile and entered the cinema with his translator.

Xu Xin, on the other hand, directly followed the Gang's Qin crew to participate in an event in a different exhibition hall of the same cinema. He went to the event for more than an hour. After finishing, he did not say anything about leaving, but was waiting for Chen Rui. Not that he wanted to curry favor.

Others, but because I am the inviting party.

When you finish your work, just slap your ass and leave, which is not polite or reasonable.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, the movie ended. Chen Rui and the translator came out together. Chen Rui was possessed. His translator looked at Xu Xin and the whole city was amazed. These people must be in their thirties or forties.

Yes, he is a person with certain life experience, although he may not be familiar with the period in the movie.

I don’t mean that I understand them particularly well, but the sense of era is the same.

Looking at the young director in front of him, he really couldn't imagine how such a young director could produce such an old-fashioned film.

Such proof is as if you have experienced the same movie yourself.

But he couldn't express these, he could only silently reminisce about the light and pure charm of this movie in his heart. But Chen Rui was much simpler.

Director Xu is so good-looking. He was full of emotion. Although that era was also very unfamiliar to me. After all, I was only two years old when it ended. But when I was a child, I also listened to my parents and they talked about that era. Many things matched up. It was really

It's pretty.

Xu Xin smiled and nodded, as long as he is satisfied, satisfied, he is so satisfied.

With emotion, he asked, "Channel, we have something to do at noon and we can't have a meal together. There will be a show later. It's almost time. It's over. He has to go to the car's room in the afternoon, although the show

It is said that it only takes more than 20 minutes, but it still takes time to prepare makeup and other things.

Seeing this, Chen Rui stopped asking questions. He smiled and nodded, "Okay, I'll go back to China in the afternoon as well. Let's go back to the country when Director Xu returns."

As the co-founder of Kingsoft Network, he also lived in Yanjing. Xu Xin readily agreed. After finally saying goodbye to him, he got on the bus directly to the TV station.

The program invitation time was from 14:00 to 16:00, and it was already early 12:00. In the car, Su Meng took out the prepared sandwiches.

After Xu Xin dealt with him, the car quickly arrived at the downstairs of TV Asahi. Because Shangyuan Ai contacted him in advance, four or five people came to greet him after the car stopped.

Facing the bows and welcomes of these people, Xu Xin also bowed to express his courtesy, then followed them into the elevator, and was finally led to the backstage.

There was also a document on the table in the waiting room of Chicken Wings. Qu Xin, who was in Chinese, nodded slightly, not to mention very attentive.

And when he saw the introduction to the program and discovered that it had been broadcast since 1976 and had always occupied a place in the hearts of Japanese people over the years and was one of their favorite programs, he became cautious in his attitude toward the program.

And when she saw the host's information and discovered that the host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi was born in 1933, she twitched her lips and calculated her age. Oh my god, a 77-year-old grandma is interviewing herself. What's in her hand?

After finishing reading the information, he found another CD on the table. The CD had no name, but it was written in Chinese on the cover.

Director Zhang Yimou conducted an interview with the old man in Tetsuko's room on November 19, 1990. He became interested and took the CD and put it in the DVD player.

A very low-resolution picture appeared on the TV, but the Chinese subtitles were very clear. Kuroyanagi Tetsuko, who looked very ladylike with her onion hair, introduced to the camera, then.

Now let us welcome Ju Dou’s director Zhang Yimou, a famous Chinese filmmaker.

Then the camera turned, and the old man was standing at the white door of the set, holding a baked beans video in his hand, and the smiling scene came into view.

Note that there was a knock on the door of the room at this time. After Su Meng opened the door, three people walked in.

Director Xu Xin, can I put on makeup now? Yes.

After getting Shangyuan Ai's translation, Xu Xin nodded, and then the other party chatted some words with Shangyuan Ai. Shangyuan Ai nodded again, Director Xu, I will be your translator in a while and I will also need to put on makeup.

okay.

After nodding again to express his understanding, Xu Xin sat in front of the makeup mirror. Although the angle was a bit awkward, he could only see the TV program through the reflection in the mirror, but he could hear the old man's voice clearly and probably knew what he was asking.

No matter how much the makeup artist fiddled with his face, he heard the old man's voice. This movie explores the relationship between the sexes in the feudal era, a tragedy staged for the enemy.

As early as when I saw the original work, I felt that the film had great potential in reflecting the reincarnation of fate and the tragedy of human nature, so I began to adapt the film by my favorite actor Ken Takakura.

I have watched this movie many times and I like him very much. If possible, I hope to cooperate with him in the future.

I have watched all of Akira Kurosawa's films, and the one that impressed me most was the Japanese film Black Samurai.

At this current stage, I think we are in the early stages of a transitional period. Directors of Akira Kurosawa's generation are exploring family concepts, moral concepts, gender roles, etc., as if they are searching for their roots.

And now, with the emergence of a new generation of filmmakers, I find that your films are beginning to challenge these values, for example, exploring teenage rebellion against divorce, domestic violence, and domestic violence.

I think this is a new value and concept that has emerged with the development and changes of society.

On this point, I think Chinese movies are the same as Japanese movies. We all have to go through this stage. Although he couldn't see the subtitles clearly, he could really hear the old man's answer.

Soon half an hour passed by, her makeup was finished, and the old man's interview was over, and he put the CD back into the box.

As a literary old man, I found in these interviews that there were no particularly extreme issues. On the contrary, he was quite calm and felt a little more at ease.

After waiting for a while, the door was knocked again, and the director with the headset politely informed Xu Xin that the recording of the program was about to begin.

In a recording scene full of Western style, the host Tetsuko Kuroyanagi sorted herself out.

After looking at the information in front of him, he glanced at the director, and when he saw the other person giving a thumbs up, he nodded slightly and sat up straight.

Although the 70-year-old man was inevitably a little hunched over, he still worked hard to straighten his waist and show his best side.

After the countdown was completed, Kuroyanagi Tetsuko bowed slightly to the camera. Hello everyone, welcome to Tetsuko's room.

The guest we invited today is the first film The Untold Secret, which has set off a wave among young people. The Chinese director Xu Xin and Xu Jun, who just won the Best Director at the Venice Film Festival and broke the record for the youngest director in this award, finished speaking.

, Xu Xin, who had benefited over there, opened the door.

He walked in through the door alone.

Aspergillus niger, please come over and sit down here. Translator, Ms. Yuan Ai also invited you to sit down here. At this time, Yuan Ai from behind followed up and came to the old lady with Xu Xin.
