Chapter 138: Next Stop: Tokyo
On the way back, Zhang Hui was naturally very satisfied with Chen Feng's appearance in the show this time. He was verbally praised. But Chen Feng is not a high school student after all, and he just smiled at her praise.
After returning to the hotel, Chen Feng went to rest, but Zhang Hui found Vice Chairman Wang Qibo for the first time. reported to him the situation of Chen Feng's interview on kBS TV, praised Chen Feng a lot, and then went straight to the point and said: "Chairman Wang, this time in the program, a famous Korean artist put forward the slogan of 'support long, support Beijing' Olympic bid, I think it is very worthy of reference, if we instruct the relevant international media to promote this slogan, I believe we will be able to achieve good results." β
"Support long, support Beijing?" Wang Qibo said with some surprise, "I know that Chen Feng, this long, is very famous in the world, but it is against the policy to publicize it like this, especially when it comes to putting this 'long' in the front." Putting 'Beijing' at the back, and putting the two terms before the horse, is worth considering. β
Zhang Hui seemed to have expected Wang Qibo to say this, and he didn't care, explaining: "We, the Olympic Bidding Committee, can completely ignore this slogan, and let those media do it, naturally it will not violate any principles, not to mention that this can only be said to be an informal slogan with the nature of entertainment news, and it will not affect the work of our Olympic Bidding Committee in the slightest." Of course, if this slogan can play a role in the Olympic bid, it will be the best. Even if there is no effect, we have nothing to lose. β
"So?" Wang Qibo pondered for a while before he said, "Then, you can do it." I haven't heard of it. β
Zhang Hui muttered secretly in his heart, but said with a smile on his face: "Okay, Chairman Wang, I will instruct my domestic media friends to do this, and try my best to publicize this slogan in the international media, causing a certain sensation." β
After Wang Qibo nodded slightly, he picked up an English magazine in a muffled voice. Zhang Hui didn't care, smiled and said, "Then I'll go", and went out of the room.
Chen Feng returned to the room and turned on the turned off mobile phone. Immediately, a few missed calls were sent to the SMS notification, all of which were naturally from family members, and one was Karina's.
Chen Feng first called his parents to inform him of safety, and after being verbosed by his mother with a lot of words of "full food and clothing", he finally hung up the phone and called Hongye.
As soon as Hongye spoke, his voice was a little dull and said: "Xiao Feng, I watched the news today, saying that it was the audition of the heroine of "Winter Love Song", and Mengxue and Zhang Baizhi both participated. β
Chen Feng had long expected that she would know about this, so he also said calmly: "I just found out today, but I didn't know about this matter in advance. β
"Dream Snow...... Mengxue ...... Why would she do that?" Momiji sobbed sadly.
Chen Feng understands her mood very well, she was a loyal fan of Mengxue at the beginning, and later regarded her as her good friend and sister, but in the end she found out that the reason why Mengxue was close to him was to take the opportunity to get close to Chen Feng, fortunately, Chen Feng had no feelings for her, a flawless public lover, and did not betray her, so she was lucky to escape, but now she actually saw that Mengxue was still unwilling to participate in the audition. wanted to partner with Chen Feng to act, which made her feel a huge crisis again, and she was officially jealous of Mengxue.
"Momiji, don't worry, I won't partner with Mengxue. I'll call Brother Yang later and ask him to cancel Mengxue's qualification. Although Chen Feng said that he wanted to make this audition fair and just, this matter had already involved him, so he couldn't take care of it.
"Xiao Feng...... That's not good...... Actually, I didn't mean you to do that...... I just don't understand, Mengxue she ...... Why do you do this to me...... She already told me last time that she would treat you as a regular friend, but now she is coming to the audition and wants to partner with you...... I...... I was so scared ......."
Chen Feng felt a slight pain in his heart when he heard this, and hurriedly comforted him and smiled: "Wife, why are you still so unconfident, I said that I would marry you, just next month, in Hong Kong, when we get married, I will go to film again, so it's okay." You don't trust others, but you should always trust your husband and me. Will I do something I'm sorry for you?"
After Chen Feng said these words confidently, he felt a little guilty in his heart, because he thought of that psychedelic night again, the sad Su Yuyan. This strange woman has almost become a demon in Chen Feng's heart now.
"Husband, I know, but am I just scared?" Momiji said coquettishly. In my heart, I was very satisfied with Chen Feng's remarks.
"Wife, you've grown up. And with my parents supporting you, and we will get married next month, what are you afraid of, don't be childish, maybe you will become a mother soon. β
"I don't want to have a baby so soon, it's ugly! Not to mention, I still have to study. Momiji said with a pout.
Chen Feng laughed and said, "This can't help you." I decided that when we got married, we would have a baby. My mom was going crazy trying to hold her grandson. β
"Hmph, you know that for your mother's sake, I'm still so young, and I read articles on the Internet that it will be risky to have a baby. Momiji pretended to be dissatisfied.
"Wife, I'm thinking about you. If you give birth to a son and a half daughter for our Chen family, no one will be able to shake your relationship with me and my status. Chen Feng said in a very demagogic tone.
"Hmph, who is rare?" said that, but Momiji naturally had already moved in her heart, otherwise she wouldn't have looked up this information on the Internet.
Chen Feng really wants a child, after all, he has been reborn as a human being, and the two lives together are in his forties. Naturally, I was very eager to have my own offspring, and I made persistent efforts at the moment: "Those articles on the Internet are all lies, saying that children who marry late and have children later are healthier and smarter, this is pure nonsense." The best age for a woman to have a child is the golden age after physical maturity, and it is dangerous to wait until the age of thirty to give birth to a child, and it is very likely that she will give birth to a baby with intellectual problems or developmental problems. So, don't listen to the one-sided words of the experts. After we get married, we will make preliminary preparations and strive to conceive one at the end of the year, and you will be eighteen years old next year, just right. What's more, Hong Kong's medical technology is very developed. There will be absolutely nothing wrong with having a baby. β
The red leaves are soft, and when Chen Feng said this, she really believed it for seven or eight points. At the moment, he put aside the matter of Mengxue, and officially considered whether to get pregnant this year and have a child next year. Even, after pregnancy, what should I do if my grades fall behind? Do you want Chen Feng to help review. When to go back to school after giving birth.
Chen Feng saw that there was no sound on the other end of the phone, and he knew that Hongye was moving. And I didn't make a sound. After waiting for a while, he reminded: "Baby wife, think about it, it's not early, you should go to bed early." There's still class tomorrow. β
"Well, you rest early, too. I hung up. Also, if you have something to turn off in the future, let me know in advance so that you don't let me worry. β
Chen Feng agreed with a smile.
After the call with Hongye, Chen Feng immediately called Yang Tianming. After connecting, he asked straight to the point: "Big brother, what is going on with Mengxue participating in the audition?"
Yang Tianming on the other end of the phone had already prepared his heart, and he was not surprised when he heard this, and said with a smile: "Xiao Feng, I was very surprised at the beginning of this matter, it was Mengxue and Zhang Baizhi who took the initiative to find us, but it was not for us to go to her, the only condition is to directly enter the top ten." After discussing with several executives in the company, I feel that the temperament of the two is very much in line with Weizhen in "Winter Love Song", it would be a pity to give up, and because of their own looks and fame, it is naturally no problem to directly enter the top ten in Hong Kong. There is no cheating in this either. Even if they were to participate in the audition, starting from the bottom, I didn't believe they wouldn't stand out. We're just helping them skip the hassle. Xiao Feng, I know you have some opinions about Mengxue, but my feelings. The reason why she wants to participate in this audition this time is not completely for you, because it is rumored that she intends to develop in the film and television industry, and her behavior this time is strongly supported by her agency. Zhang Baizhi's situation is similar, but the two young women naturally have a lot of topics when they meet together. β
Yang Tianming's prepared remarks suddenly made Chen Feng a little speechless. However, he was also prepared, and said directly: "Big brother, Hongye has a deep prejudice against Mengxue, whether she is coming for me this time, I don't want to partner with her to star." So, either Mengxue leaves, or I quit, you choose. β
Chen Feng's rogue remarks suddenly made Yang Tianming cry and laugh, he was very optimistic about Mengxue and the TV couple in his mind, he is a person who pursues perfection, since he identified this one, he almost instinctively rejected Chen Feng and other actresses to partner in this classic love fairy tale drama. But now Chen Feng's tough attitude made it a little difficult for him to make a decision for a while.
"Xiao Feng, Mengxue and you are a TV couple, which is what more than ninety percent of the audience voted for and looked forward to. You're doing that, and you're really embarrassing me. Also, you have said before that you want to make the audition work healthy, orderly, fair, open and just, but what you mean now is that I want to kick Mengxue out of the game in advance, which is really unreasonable. If I really want to do this, how can I explain it to the world? Just now, this Huateng Entertainment Group doesn't need to be opened, let alone talk about the goal of revitalizing Chinese film and television. Yang Tianming complained and complained.
Chen Feng didn't want to embarrass him, so he was silent for a while before he said in a tough tone: "Then so be it." Now let Mengxue play freely, but in the end, the place in the Hong Kong division must not be obtained by her. β
"Xiao Feng, from now on, the TV station will broadcast the top 10 competition in each region live. You can't let me instruct my subordinates to cheat. Unless Mengxue's own strength is eliminated due to her lack of strength, I will have nothing to say. Otherwise, I refuse to do so, and if you are not satisfied, you will simply remove me as president. Yang Tianming's tone was also very tough.
Chen Feng frowned suddenly, he didn't expect Yang Tianming to be so insistent in this matter, Yang Tianming's ability Chen Feng knew, not to mention that he was still his own sworn brother, Chen Feng naturally didn't want to have a stiff relationship with him.
After being silent for a while, Chen Feng sighed and said, "Okay, let's see Mengxue's strength." β
In his heart, Chen Feng didn't believe how good Meng Xue, who had no acting experience before, would be, just like Yang Tianming just said, every game in the future will be broadcast live, although Meng Xue sings well, but in terms of acting, Chen Feng does not maintain an optimistic attitude towards it. What's more, even if Mengxue has her shit luck and finally stands out from the Hong Kong division, the final decision is still in Chen Feng's hands, and it shouldn't be too difficult to find an opportunity to brush her down at that time.
Thinking like this, Chen Feng no longer insisted.
And Yang Tianming seemed to have guessed Chen Feng's plan, and reminded: "Okay, Xiao Feng, this is what you said yourself, and you can speak with Mengxue's strength." Also, in the final three matches, you can't cheat for personal gain, you have to look at Mengxue's stage table at that time, you must know that the live broadcast at that time may be watched by hundreds of millions of people around the world. β
Chen Feng didn't want to talk to Yang Tianming about this now, and after smiling slightly, he said "goodbye" to him and hung up the phone.
Early the next morning, the Olympic bid propaganda team began the next stop of publicity, destination Tokyo, Japan. Every Chinese is naturally not very unfamiliar with this international metropolis, the country of small Japan, but there must not be many people who really understand the current frightening city of Japan with a large population density. And in the memory bank of Chen Feng's mind, there is some information about Tokyo.
Tokyo is located in the southern part of the Kanto region, roughly in the center of the Japanese archipelago. More than 500 years ago, it was a small, sparsely populated fishing town called Edo. In 1457, a military commander named Ota Michikan built Edo Castle here. Since then, it has become the commercial center of the Kanto region of Japan. In 1603, the centralized Tokugawa shogunate was established, and people from all over Japan gathered here, and Edo Castle quickly developed into the political center of the country. It is recorded that at the beginning of the 19th century, the population of Edo exceeded one million. In 1868, after the Meiji Restoration, the emperor moved from Kyoto to Tokyo, which became the capital of Japan.
In 1943, the Japanese government issued a decree changing the city of Tokyo to the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, expanding its jurisdiction. Tokyo is the political center of the whole country. The executive, legislative, judicial and other state organs are concentrated here. Edo Castle in the past is now home to Japanese locusts.
Tokyo is the educational and cultural center of Japan. Currently, there are more than 190 universities in Tokyo, including the famous University of Tokyo, Waseda University, Keio University, Rikkyo University, Meiji University, Hitotsubashi University, and Hosei University. With more than 100 museums, the largest being the Tokyo National Museum, exhibits artifacts from Japan's ancient history and art treasures, including sculptures, weapons, ceramics, paintings, and more. There are many types of museums in Tokyo, such as the Transportation Museum, the Ship Museum, and the Cigarette Museum.
There are also many movie theaters and theaters in Tokyo, and the most famous is the Tokyo National Theater, which has two theaters, large and small, that perform kabuki and other kinds of theater. The equipment at the Komazawa Olympic Stadium is world-class.
Shrines and temples can be found everywhere in the streets of Tokyo, and even in Ginza, the famous business district, there are 13 shrines of all sizes, which are dedicated to the guardian deities of maintaining business prosperity.
Tokyo is also Japan's largest industrial city, home to major companies from all over the country. Tokyo is also the economic, commercial, and financial center of Japan, with 90% of companies with a capital of more than 5 billion yen concentrated in Tokyo, and all major banks or head offices or major branches in the country are located in Tokyo, and Tokyo has the world-famous Bank of Japan in Chiyo Ward and Chuo Ward respectively, and the Tokyo Stock Exchange, which is active in the world stock market.
Tokyo is the economic center of Japan. Major Japanese companies are concentrated here. Most of them are located in Chiyoda-ku, Chuo-ku, and Minato-ku. Tokyo, along with Yokohama to the south and Chiba to the east, forms the Keihinha Industrial Zone, which is known as Japan. The main industries are iron and steel, shipbuilding, machine manufacturing, chemical industry, electronics, leather, electrical machinery, fibers, petroleum, publishing and printing, and precision instruments. Tokyo has a well-developed financial and commercial industry, and there are many internal and external business activities. Known as the "heart of Tokyo", Ginza is one of the city's busiest business districts. Tokyo is also the center of culture and education in Japan. There are 80 percent of the country's publishing houses, the National Museum, the Western Art Museum, and the National Library. Universities located in Tokyo account for one-third of the country's universities, and more than half of the country's university students are enrolled in these universities. As an international metropolis, Tokyo also hosts various international cultural exchange events, such as the Tokyo Music Festival and the Tokyo International Film Festival.
It is worth mentioning that at the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, or more precisely, after the Sino-Japanese First Sino-Japanese Naval War, after China's defeat to Japan, many enthusiastic young people have traveled east to Japan to study, and everyone is familiar with Zhou Enlai, Lu Xun, Guo Moruo, these three famous figures.
In addition to being the economic center of Japan, Tokyo is also a tourist metropolis. Famous sightseeing spots include Tokyo Tower, Imperial Palace, National Diet Building, Sensoji Temple, Hamarikyu Palace, Ueno Park & Zoo, Kasai Rinkai Park, Odaiba, and Tokyo Disneyland. Some of the more distinctive games are baseball and sumo, and you can watch baseball at Tokyo Stadium at Korakuen Station, which is the home of the Tokyo Giants. To see sumo, head to Ryogoku near Akihabara, where there are both the Ryogoku Kokugikan and many of the sumo wrestlers' buya (clubs), each with its own name and logo. The Edo-Tokyo Museum is also worth seeing. The area around several major stations on the Yamanote Line is also a great place to visit and see, such as the Sunshine Tower near Ikebukuro where many aquariums, art galleries, and museums are concentrated, the Tokyo Metropolitan Building, Kabukicho, and shopping areas near Shinjuku, and Shibuya and Harajuku are the sources of information on fashion, music, makeup, belongings, hairstyles, and even lifestyles for young Japanese people. In the vicinity of Ueno, there are many traditional theaters such as the Japanese Traditional Theater, the National Museum of Art in Tokyo, the National Museum of Nature and Science, the National Museum of Western Art, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum. On Sundays, the main streets of Ginza and Shinjuku are closed to traffic, and they become a paradise for pedestrians, with street artists performing and performing performances, vendors selling handmade products from all over the world, young people playing in the streets, and all kinds of people.
Tokyo's main shopping districts are located around major stations on the Yamanote Line, with a high concentration of department stores in Ikebukuro, Shinjuku and Harajuku, Shibuya, Shimbashi, and Ginza, Kanda, and Nihonbashi near Tokyo Station. There are also Akihabara famous for its electrical appliances, Jimbocho for its second-hand book market, Tsukiji Chuo Wholesale Market for its seafood wholesale, and Ueno Sugar Yokocho for its bargains. Other distinctive place names include Nagata Town, Kasumigaseki, Dou Town, and Otemachi. Nagata is the seat of the Japanese parliament and the central part of the political party, the Japanese often use Nagata to refer to Japanese politics, Kasumigaseki is the seat of various ministries of the Japanese government, the Japanese often compare him to the bureaucracy or the Ministry of Finance, Dou is the seat of the Tokyo stock market, some people use it as a metaphor for the Japanese securities kingdom. Otemachi is a frequent place for international students, and the Tokyo Immigration Bureau is located here.
It is worth mentioning that Ginza, one of the three major attractions that symbolize Japan's nature, history, and modernity (Mt. Fuji, Kyoto, and Ginza), is one of the three most prosperous centers in the world, along with the Champs-ΓlysΓ©es in Paris and Fifth Avenue in New York. Ginza was the result of continuous land reclamation from the sea to gradually form today's structure.
Ginza is the birthplace of many century-old shops and local brands. Chuo-dori Street, which runs from Ginza 1-chome to 8-chome, has been selected as one of Japan's "100 Famous Roads" and is the busiest main street in Ginza. Every Sunday afternoon, traffic control is implemented throughout the entire central thoroughfare, making it a pedestrian paradise for pedestrians.
The one-and-a-half-kilometre-long Ginza Avenue stretches from Kyobashi in the north to Shimbashi in the south, and is lined with department stores and shops selling high-end goods. Since August 1970, Ginza Avenue has been closed to a single qiΔ vehicular traffic and has become a pedestrian shopping street, with many tea houses on the street, where visitors can sit in the center of the street and drink tea and chat. At night, the neon lights on the roadside buildings change to create a stunning night view of Ginza.
It is the most prosperous business district in Tokyo, and it is said that in the past, the area was the sea, and later Tokugawa Ieyasu reclaimed land from the sea, and this area became the "Ginza Office" for minting silver coins. In the third year of the Meiji era (1870 AD), the name was changed to "Ginza". It is known as the "heart of Tokyo".
