On the streets of Jimbocho, there are two words that appear most frequently: Juncha and bookstore.

They are all related to one thing – Iwanami Shoten.

In 1913, Iwanami Shoten was a great success, attracting many literati and students, and people followed suit after seeing the success of Iwanami Shoten, and the number of bookstores increased.

There are more people buying books, and there is always a need for a place to stay, so tea shops have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.

In the early years, coffee entered the neon country not to be sold in cafes, but appeared in beverage shops that provided wine and girls, and later someone opened a store to provide a place to drink coffee.

Decades ago, under the visit of Toho Higashi and Vice President Kazuko Kawataki, Akiko Iwanami's father agreed to her request, and both parties invested in the establishment of Iwanami Cinema, and that strange rule - every selected film, regardless of whether it was good or bad at the box office, would be screened for at least one month.

Of course, this is also related to Kazuko Kawata's initiative to establish the Neon Art Cinema Union, referred to as ATG, with the same original intention, to break the monopoly of big productions and big distribution companies, and to support talented emerging directors.

The 10 Million Film Project, which costs no more than 10 million neon coins per production, was proposed and put into practice during that period.

The movie can't be placed there, it has to be shown to the audience, although it is support, but there must be money to be returned, independent theaters are needed, at that time, plus Iwanami Cinema, a total of 20 theaters.

But it's a pity that ATG only lasted from 60 to 80 years, and finally went bankrupt because good films didn't earn as much as bad movies.

Until now, there is only one Iwanami left, and it is proudly independent in Jimbocho Town.

Because of the Iwanami Bookstore and Cinema, as well as other bookstores and tea shops attached to it, the atmosphere in Jimbocho is now filled not only with the smell of coffee and books, but also with the smell of literature and art and the charm of history.

It's just that those smells have been washed away by the crowd today.

There is a box office, Ning Yuan believes that there are many people who like this movie, but if they can like this genre, in Ning Yuan's opinion, they should be quite quiet, why is there a momentum of chasing stars now?

Ning Yuan couldn't figure it out.

Even he was like this, not to mention Han Ping and them, they were all stunned after getting out of the car.

But those people, instead of saying how crazy they were, stood on both sides of the road as if they were greeting, saluting them, watching them approach, everyone had a smile on their faces, especially when they saw Ning Yuan and Teng Rujun.

Of course, there are also many people who are paying attention to Zhong Xiaoman, and the beautiful girl attracts attention everywhere.

Just like when Huaxia was promoted, a small stage was set up in front of the entrance of the theater.

Ning Yuan walked up, holding the microphone, looking at the crowd in the audience, Ning Yuan didn't know where to start for a while.

But the crowd who watched the movie, because of the relationship between the characters in the movie, thought that Ning Yuan was shy, and applauded one after another, as if they were encouraging Ning Yuan.

Ning Yuan smiled dumbly, so he bowed and thanked:

"Thank you, thank you for being able to like this movie, and thank you for coming over to support, I am Chinese actor Ning Yuan. ”

Hearing Ning Yuan's fluent and highly accurate neon language, all the neon audience were stunned.

After looking at each other, they all became excited and applauded enthusiastically again.

In the future, those neon country and Korean stars will go to Huaxia to make money, and say two lame words on the stage, "Mud howl, Dajia howl, I am xxx", you can attract fans in the audience, not to mention Ning Yuan, who is obviously proficient.

Naturally, a strong sense of identity suddenly rose in their hearts, and they also narrowed the distance.

After the applause was a little smaller, Ning Yuan smiled and said:

"I really didn't expect that a Chinese rural movie has no ups and downs in the plot, and there are no fast-paced exciting shots, but it is recognized by you in the neon across the ocean and thousands of miles away, and your arrival today makes our whole crew very surprised and moved, thank you, thank you again. ”

The audience once again burst into a wave of applause, which lasted for a long time, and many people were even red with excitement.

Although the Chinese economy is getting better and better, and there are more Chinese people who come to neon for tourism, it is very rare for Chinese people who can speak such standard neon language except for international students.

As for celebrities, Huaxia's Cheng Long, Li Lianjie and Zhang Guorong are also familiar with each other, and they have come to Neon Country many times, but they have never been like this.

While that doesn't change their liking for these stars, Ning Yuan speaks neon to make them like it more.

And on the side of the stage, listening to Ning Yuan's neon words in the room again, and listening to the deafening applause in his ears, Han Ping and the others were at a loss.

And Zhong Xiaoman said loudly to Yu Xiaojie next to him: "What did he say?"

Because they are of the same age and are girls, they became acquainted with each other by the time they had lunch at noon.

But at this moment, even if the two of them are next to each other, they can't hear it clearly if they don't speak loudly.

Yu Xiaojie was already convinced by Ning Yuan's neon language at this time, although she was still full of doubts, but Ning Yuan didn't say anything about her.

Hearing Zhong Xiaoman's words, she smiled and roughly translated Ning Yuan's words, and Zhong Xiaoman and Han Ping understood.

Subsequently, Ning Yuan shared some tidbits from filming and behind-the-scenes experience, and under his eloquence, he let the audience listen quietly from time to time, which caused everyone to laugh from time to time.

When they heard Ning Yuan say that the parcel on his back weighed dozens of kilograms in order to pursue a sense of authenticity, many people were moved and gave warm applause again.

After finishing speaking, Ning Yuan acted as the host and translator, and invited Teng Rujun and Zhong Xiaoman to the stage in turn.

Teng Rujun is okay, after all, he has been coaching for many years, and he has reached this age, he said hello to everyone on stage, and then talked about topics related to the film for a while, and his performance was very stable.

But when it came to Zhong Xiaoman, although she was mentally prepared, when she really stood on the stage, her brain was blank at that time, and she got stuck after saying a few words, and then she was so nervous that she didn't know what she said in the end.

In the end, Ning Yuan simply didn't use her words, just like in the movie, he made up the letter to the fifth woman, and Ning Yuan played on the spot to get rid of this stubble.

And Zhong Xiaoman, until he stepped off the stage, didn't know this, listening to the warm applause from the audience, he even had the illusion that he was saying something great.

But then Yu Xiaojie told her what had just happened, and Zhong Xiaoman blushed when she heard it, covering her face and shouting:

"Shame on the dead!"

After they came on stage, it was the couple of director Huo Jianqi and screenwriter Su Xiaowei.

Ning Yuan also helped them translate, although they were also a little nervous, but they were much better than Zhong Xiaoman, and they were talking about their own works, so they slowly stabilized their minds and talked eloquently.

At the end, Han Ping and Kazuo Takai, the secretary to the president of Toho Tohwa, took the stage together and announced that from tomorrow, the movie will be fully released in major theaters.

Even though I had seen the leaflets, TV and newspaper advertisements for a long time, I still heard them with my own ears, and it still caused a lot of cheers.
