On November 28th, the Chinese actors of "A Game of Chess That Didn't End" arrived in Tokyo and stayed in the hotel where Xu Wangqiu and his wife were. This time, there are the main actors of Dongying's role, including Sun Daolin, Tang Yuqiang and others. The other actors will not join the crew until the filming of Dongying is completed and the crew returns to China.

Xu Wangqiu saw Tang Yuqiang in a suit and leather shoes, dressed very well, and joked with him: "Old Tang, do you prepare sunglasses?"

Tang Yuqiang has become popular after starring in "Little Flower", and he has become even more popular after acting in "Falcon", and he can't go out without sunglasses and masks in China. But now that he is in Dongying, he doesn't think that anyone in Dongying will know him: "No, what are you doing with sunglasses?"

Xu Wangqiu said seriously: "You may not know that "Falcon" exploded at the box office in Dongying, achieving a result of 3.2 billion yen, which is a new record for Chinese films. You will definitely be recognized when you walk to Dongying Street, and Dongying girls are crazy when they chase stars. If you want to be recognized, then it will be lively. Those Dongying girls may be pestering you and want to sleep with you. ”

Tang Guoqiang didn't know about Dongying's situation, and was startled when he heard this: "It's not so exaggerated!"

Xu Wangqiu said with a serious face: "Of course. In the sixties, the counterculture movement represented by hippies in the United States arose in the West, they wanted to break through the shackles and challenge authority, so under its influence, rock music and *** began to rise. Among the star-chasers in the rock circle, there is such a group that tries to sleep with rock stars, known as Groupie. After the movement spread to Dongying, Dongying also appeared chasing stars and trying to sleep with celebrities. If they know which room you're staying in, they'll try to sneak into your room, lie naked on the bed, and wait for you to come back. You're a soldier, if there's an international scandal, hehe. ”

Tang Yuqiang saw that Xu Wangqiu was talking about things, and believed it: "Then I have to buy one quickly." ”

At the beginning of last year, the CCTV translation department introduced the American TV series "The Man from the Bottom of the Atlantic", which is broadcast every Thursday night, which is the first American drama introduced by China. Mike, the protagonist of the TV series, wears a pair of Ray-Ban glasses, which instantly sets off a wave of imitation in the streets of China. Not long after, there were many young people on the street wearing toad glasses that had not been torn off the trademark, wearing bell bottoms that were narrow at the top and wide at the bottom, and carrying fans to play Teresa Teng's songs.

Ray-Ban glasses are known as toad lenses in China, or microphone lenses, and some people also call them panda lenses, because they really look like panda dark circles, and the lenses of toad glasses are relatively large and light in color, unlike sunglasses that will completely cover the eyes. And there is a special thing to pay attention to when wearing toad glasses, that is, you must not tear off the trademark! If you tear it off, others will think that what you are wearing is not genuine.

Although Tang Yuqiang is from Bayi Factory and belongs to the military, he is a young man in his twenties after all, and he also has the mind to follow the trend, so he bought a toad mirror and wore it day and night. Like young people in China, his toad mirror did not tear off the label.

In China, everyone does not tear the label, and there is a white label on the lens, which others will not find strange, but feel very foreign. But the problem is now in Dongying, you have a white label glued to the lens to hang around, others will think it is strange, and even think that there is a problem with the brain, besides, the lens has such a big label, doesn't it feel like an eyesore?

Xu Wangqiu persuaded Tang Guoqiang: "Tear the label, you tear the label here in Dongying, and others think you are strange if you don't tear the label." Tang Wanqiang said eloquently: "I bought this high-end goods in Dongying, if I tear off the label, others will not know about it after returning to China, and they will think that I am wearing a fake!" Xu Wangqiu immediately said: "What others think, is it so important? If you say so, you wear glasses labeled with songs and slore around everywhere every day, people will think about how that Chinese actor is like this, is there something wrong with his brain, you are affecting the image of the country!"

Tang Yuqiang saw Xu Wangqiu say this, and knew that this label could not be torn off. However, he didn't want others to say that his toad glasses were fakes after returning to China, so he thought of a way to carefully tear off the label on the lens, stick it to a piece of plastic paper, and keep the plastic paper carefully, and then tear off the label and stick it on the glasses after returning to China.

Xu Wangqiu was very speechless about this, he didn't expect Comrade Prime Minister to be so fond of showing off.

Soon after Tang Yuqiang and them arrived in Tokyo, Toei actors Mikuni Rentaro, Yoshiko Yamada, Akina Nakamori and others on the Toei side also quickly joined the group. Although Sun Daolin, Rentaro Mikuni and others, the stars of "A Game of Chess That Never Ends", are very senior actors, the crew still prepared nearly a month of rehearsal time for them. After all, this is a film that the Chinese and Japanese leaders attach great importance to, and everyone hopes to make the movie as good as possible.

Since the film is a co-production, there are differences between China and Japan in terms of culture, lifestyle, and system, in order to let everyone get familiar with it as soon as possible, after the three countries Rentaro and others joined the group, Toei specially arranged a dinner.

In order to strengthen the communication between the two sides, the Japanese producer disrupted the Chinese and Japanese sides when arranging the seats, so that everyone could sit together. Although most of the crew members met for the first time, most of the Chinese personnel were not very good at Japanese, while the Japanese personnel were not good at Chinese, and there were barriers to communication, but everyone was trying to communicate and exchange, and the atmosphere was very warm.

Sitting to the left of Xu Wangqiu is Rentaro Mikuni and on the right is Yoshiko Mita, who will play brother and sister in the movie. When he went to Tokyo in April to discuss the script, Xu Wangqiu met with Rentaro Mikuni and had an in-depth conversation, and Yoshiko Yamada met for the first time.

Yoshiko Yamada had never seen such a young director as Xu Wangqiu, and she was secretly surprised. However, "Hoe Rape" and "Falcon" are very good at the box office in Dongying, and Sato Youheng and Sankuni Rentaro are very polite to Xu Wangqiu, she naturally does not dare to be rude in the slightest, and said politely: "Mr. Xu, where are you from China?"

Xu Wangqiu smiled and said, "Xichuan people." Do you know Xichuan?" Xu Wangqiu saw Yamada Yoshiko shaking his head, thinking about how to explain Xichuan to the other party, and suddenly thought that China had sent a pair of pandas to Dongying a few years ago, which caused a sensation in Dongying, and Dongying people seemed to like pandas very much, so he said: "Do you know pandas? Pandas are our Xichuan." Xichuan is the hometown of pandas. ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the Dongying people at the entire table were all excited. One by one, they were like goblins who heard Tang Seng coming, their eyes were shining, and they said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, do you often see pandas?", "Have you ever hugged a panda?", "Do you often go to see giant pandas?"

Xu Wangqiu has heard that Dongying people like pandas very much, even to the point of obsession. In "Cherry Maruko", Maruko said that if you are alive, you will be very embarrassed if you haven't even seen a panda. Grandma Maruko also recalled that when the pandas first came to Dongying in 1972, the whole Dongying was crazy, and the tourists waiting to see the pandas lined up for two kilometers for three hours, but the viewing time was only 10 seconds.

Xu Wangqiu didn't expect that he just mentioned pandas, these Dongying filmmakers were so excited, even Mikuni Liantaro's eyes lit up, it seems that Dongying people like to be obsessed with pandas is really true. He touched his chin and said proudly: "Not only do I often watch pandas, I have also raised pandas!"

The eyes of the Dongying people present widened, and they couldn't believe their ears.

Akina Nakamori said excitedly: "Mr. Xu, have you really raised a panda?"

Xu Wangqiu began to make up stories: "That was more than ten years ago, when I lived in the countryside with my grandfather. Once, when my grandfather went to the mountains to chop wood, he picked up an injured red panda. The red panda was badly injured, and if it had been left on the mountain, it might have died, and it might even have been eaten by other animals, so Grandpa picked it up. The red panda's injury healed quickly, so I took it to play with her and named her Xiaobai. Xiaobai is very close to me, follows me like a puppy, and especially likes to rub my head against my feet and bark in a hmm-hmm.

After raising it for more than half a year, Xiaobai is one meter long, with a hundred kilograms, and he is already a semi-giant panda, and he eats more and more, so he can't continue to raise it at all. Grandpa said that it should be returned to the mountains and forests. I disagreed, I said, I just go to the mountains every day before school to show it bamboo. Grandpa said that it belonged to the mountains and forests, and that it was its home, and that it should be allowed to go back. I was very sad and hugged Xiaobai and cried. Xiaobai also whined, as if it was also sad. When I came back from school the next day, my grandfather had already sent Xiaobai to the mountain. I ran to the hill and touched my tears and shouted, "Xiaobai!" but I kept shouting until it was dark, and Xiaobai didn't show up. ”

This story about pandas was nonsense by Xu Wangqiu, but the Dongying people present were deeply moved, and there were tears in the eyes of Akina Nakamori and Yoshiko Yamada.

Xu Wangqiu continued to make up the story: "Almost two years later, one day I went to the mountains to play and encountered wild boars. Wild boars are very ferocious and can not only hurt people, but may even bite people to death. I ran and shouted, "Help!" Seeing that the boar was about to catch up with me, a figure suddenly sprang out and knocked the boar away. The boar screamed and rushed towards the figure, who raised his slap and slapped it on the boar's head, slapping the boar away. The boar screamed and turned around and fled. Frightened, I realized that it was a giant panda that had been an adult at that time. ”

Akina Nakamori wiped her tears and said, "Is the panda so powerful? And he said, "Is that adult giant panda Xiaobai?"

Xu Wangqiu nodded and said, "The panda looks very cute, but it is very strong in combat. In ancient China, it was known as the iron-eating beast, and legend has it that Chiyou's mount was the panda. After beating away the wild boar, the adult giant panda slowly walked towards me. I felt familiar, so I asked, "Are you a little white?" The panda walked up to me, rubbed its head on my lap, and barked, exactly like when I was a child. I was so happy that I hugged its neck and said, Xiaobai, you have grown so big, I almost can't recognize you. Later, I saw Xiaobai a few more times in the mountains, and every time he saw me, he would rub his head against my legs and bark like he did when he was a child. The last time I saw Xiaobai, she was already a mother with a red panda. Not long after, my father asked me to go back to the city to study. I haven't seen Shiro sir since, and I don't know how it's doing now. ”

The Dongying people present were moved by Xu Wangqiu's story: "Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to have such an experience. "Xiaobai is really cute, I really want to meet Xiaobai!", "You and your grandfather saved Xiaobai, and later when you were in danger, the adult Xiaobai saved you again." This story is really moving. ”

Sankuni Rentaro said directly: "Mr. Xu, I have no other requirements for this cooperation. The only requirement is to wait for the Chinese part of "A Game of Chess That Hasn't Been Finished" to finish filming and take us to Xichuan to see the giant pandas. ”
