Chapter 687: Poor Ultraman

The thundershowers were menacing, but they also went fast, and after a gust of rain, the night sky outside the window seemed to brighten up in Tokyo. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

According to Zhang Nan's experience of the plum rainy season for decades, as soon as this thunderstorm comes, the plum season will also come to an end.

Dinner was also in the final stage, as soon as Zhang Nan stretched out his hand, Lin Man, who was standing in the distance, immediately walked over.

"Go outside and see, has the temperature dropped?"

"Okay, boss. ”

Lin Man finished speaking and left.

Strong storms and rain wash over the night sky, and the air should be fresh outside, and the temperature should also drop.

Zhang Nan said to Adjani: "Take a walk after dinner?"

French Rose smiled, "Okay." ”

The restaurant's fully air-conditioned, almost floor-to-ceiling picture windows are fixed and cannot be opened. However, Lin Man doesn't really have to go outside the hotel to watch the weather, just go out of the restaurant and find a window to open to feel it.

Be back soon.

"Boss, it's about twenty-four or five degrees outside, it's a little windy, and the temperature feels like it's one or two degrees at the bottom. ”

That is, it is not stuffy, and the strong convective weather temporarily sweeps away the nasty dampness and heat.

It is not clear whether there is a scientific basis for walking a hundred steps after dinner and living to ninety-nine, but it should not hurt to take a walk in a nice courtyard after a short rest.

A feast was dispersed, and Yasuko Sawaguchi made an appointment to meet at the hotel the morning after tomorrow, so he accompanied Adjani downstairs.

Originally, Matsuoka and others also arranged entertainment activities, or several options: bars in the hotel, dance halls, karaoke...

Take your pick.

Zhang Nan said that he would take Adjani to the courtyard of the hotel, and then Matsuoka Gong and the others also mentioned the previous preparatory work, just a polite word.

Activities that Japanese people like are not necessarily interested in Westerners: this makes the people of Toho feel that Adjani's presence has become annoying again.

Karaoke, Zhang Nan suddenly found that he had not entered KTV for many years, which would actually be a little interesting, but it is estimated that there are few songs that he can sing, and those who can do it should also be English songs.

In addition to the Japanese language, except for "Yaga Ya Road, Dead Dead Drop and Sony to give", the rest is a duck feather that does not understand, who wants to learn this bird language!

Besides, even if you don't understand or speak, you're not blind in this little devil's territory, and you can even guess most of the meaning in Japanese.

Anyway, after getting off the plane at noon, almost all the signboards on the street can be understood, and there is no pressure to be literate.

When taking the elevator downstairs, Adjani said, "It's strange Japanese, we don't go, they still have to have fun." ”

Matsuoka and his gang went to play, not home, and it was already past eight o'clock. As for Zhang Nan and Adjani's biological clock, it is still early, and it is estimated that they will not be able to sleep in the middle of the night.

Hearing this, Zhang Nan said with a smile: "It is estimated that the money has already been paid, and it is a waste not to go." In addition, there are many strange customs in Japan, and if a man goes home early, his neighbors will look down on him. ”

Interesting, right?

Adjani felt a little incredible.

"I know that in Japan, this woman's status is relatively low, but this is too strange, is it true that Japanese men have to stay up at night to be good men?"

"That's not true, the Japanese think that if they go to work every day, but they don't even have a social meeting after work, they will come home too early every day and become a joke for others, so many Japanese men will get together in a bar or teahouse after work to chat, drink or something, and have to play until late before going home.

Just like the Karaoke that Matsuoka said earlier, it was invented to kill time after work......"

Well, Adjani doesn't know what karaoke is, not to mention now, this kind of entertainment will not be popular in Europe and the United States in another twenty years, and the culture is different.

After 20 years, there are many people in Europe and the United States who can know what KTV is, but the form of KTV in Europe and the United States is fundamentally different from that in the Far East!

Knowing is knowing, there are super few people playing!

KTV in Europe and the United States is not like the small single rooms in China or Japan 20 years later, but there are no rooms, or even separate stores, just incidental entertainment in bars and restaurants, and they are basically free.

And singing KTV in Europe and the United States is not in a separate private room, but to sing in front of everyone, so in the eyes of many Europeans and Americans, singing KTV is something that will make people "impressed" you, and it takes a lot of courage!

Zhang Nan either didn't sing in the late 90s in his last life, and when he went to the song hall, it was considered a Maiba level: at that time, there were few private rooms, basically booths and small round tables in the hall.

Three or five friends at a table, five yuan to make a cup of tea, to sing you need to order, is three or five yuan a song.

When it's your turn, you can sing with the microphone from your own table, or you can sit in a special and conspicuous high chair and sing to the monitor.

A group of people who don't know each other are drinking tea, drinking, and singing in a hall, which is very entertaining and civilian.

There are many people who want to sing, so you have to queue up, wait for the person in front of you to finish singing, and wait for your turn to order the song, then you can get the microphone.

If someone sings well, the whole hall will applaud people who don't know each other, and if they don't sing well, there will always be a little applause.

It does not have the privacy of the mass merchandiser KTV that became popular later, nor is it like the high consumption and mess of the "nightclubs" that existed at that time, the atmosphere is good and fun......

In retrospect, that kind of KTV is actually more appropriate to call a music café, and it is the best place for ordinary people to sing and entertain from the mid-to-late 90s to the first few years of the 21st century.

But later when he got older, this music café KTV was slowly eliminated by the times, as for nightclubs and mass sellers, Zhang Nan found the former boring when he got older, and the latter rarely showed his Maiba style in front of others after that age.

To tell the truth, Zhang Nan sings very well.

......

While gossiping, Adjani took Zhang Nan's hand, and the two walked slowly in the courtyard path of the hotel.

60 acres of garden, the lighting is just right, many towering trees should be hundreds of years old, or even hundreds of years old.

Ancient trees and flowers, small bridges and flowing water, and even waterfalls!

It's sloping land, the garden is not flat, and the outside is a moat from hundreds of years ago.

Outside is the hustle and bustle of Tokyo City, and the garden is quiet, and the two of them walked around casually, and they didn't meet a few people walking.

Looking up through the gap in the canopy, I saw the tall buildings not far away, "probably not many hotel guests are in the same mood as us......

It's not easy to live in Tokyo!

The pace here is so fast that even the hotel guests are affected, and as for non-Japanese guests, there are too few people who can understand the beauty of visiting the Oriental garden at night, at least Adjani is not in the habit of visiting the park at night.

......

The next day, close to 11 o'clock, Zhang Nan went to the jet lag company in the building next door to the hotel, and Adjani planned to let a few bodyguards accompany her in the afternoon and go to Ginza to have a look.

Tokyo's Ginza Street is an upscale shopping mall on par with New York's Fifth Avenue, and Adjani has to visit it since she is in Tokyo.

As for Zhang Nan, he stayed in the branch for about two hours, and even the Chinese food was solved in the company.

It's better to have a Japanese meal than an American-style work meal.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, I went to the National Museum of Little Devils and wandered around, and then returned to the hotel, and encountered a big traffic jam again.

Dinner is not at the top floor restaurant, which is a sin, but luckily there is a two-story building next to the main building, which is one of the best French restaurants in Tokyo.

Reserve a table in advance, go back to your room and change your clothes.

Adjani has been back a long time ago, without the big bags and small bags she imagined, and almost no shopping.

"What, something that doesn't catch the eye?"

A bit of a small surprise.

"The price of the shop is 800,000 square meters, and I am not stupid, even the clothes are more expensive than Paris......"

The price of the shop is sky-high, and the rent will not be cheap, and this cost will be added to the goods, Adjani is not a stupid girl who spends money like water.

She has money, and Zhang Nan shoehorned in the living expenses that she gave her were millions of dollars a year, and although her own commercial endorsements were not many after being carefully selected, they were also quite a few every year.

The woman who saves money and runs the house is very good.

If you don't buy it, don't buy it, this will go to Ginza Street to buy things, that's really the work of a ruined tyrant.

Zhang Nan is a super tyrant, but don't lose to a little devil if you lose.

I came to Japan to grab money, not to give money to the little devils.

"By the way, Allen, I also see a lot of shops selling antiques near Ginza Street, and some of them have Chinese antiques written on the direct signboards, do you want to go and have a look?"

"I'm going to Toho tomorrow, so I'm going to go around the day after tomorrow or tomorrow night. ”

Listening to Adjani's words, if it was before today, that Zhang Nan would not have gone to see it: antiques are sold in the Ginza area, what is the price!

But when listening to the Tokyo real estate report at the branch today, Zhang Nan knew that the shops on the street in Ginza were frightening to death, and if it was on some side streets and side streets, the store prices and rents had not yet reached the level of madness.

At least in Tokyo, it's not ridiculously expensive, so those antique shops may not sell the kiln for an official price.

As for not looking at the goods at night, this point is not absolute, otherwise what kind of goods did you buy in Nanyang the year before last. Besides, it's not a big deal, it's just a shopping trip, and it's just night.

In addition, the owners of Tokyo antique shops, many of whom should be very familiar with the antique market in China and around the world, and have heard the introduction of Japanese Tibetan friends in their previous lives, and this Japanese player is relatively honest.

If you go to an antique shop owned by a Japanese person, they will tell you based on their knowledge: this is old and this is new. And in the aspect where they don't know how to do it, they will also tell you clearly: I don't know much about it in this aspect.

Of course, 20 years later, there are not only Japanese people who will open antique shops in Tokyo, but also many Westerners behind them.

It's July, and there should be one of the largest antiques fairs in the country, and there are two zones, "Japanese antiques" and "foreign antiques", and there will be at least 1,000 booths every year, and there are many antique enthusiasts who go to buy them.

There will also be a lot of housewives, which is a rare buying team in China, who are fond of antique jewelry, and will also buy complete sets of lacquerware and porcelain tableware.

It is said that Japanese families take pride in serving old tableware and are not ashamed of old goods.

And it is said that the sellers of the little devils are very reputable, and the antiques in many stores will be clearly marked.

Once the buyer likes to inquire about the specific situation of the object, the buyer can basically know everything and say everything.

Sell you a Daoguang general can, in case the buyer finds out that it is an imitation of the Republic of China, the seller will almost return it in full, and even the postage fee will be paid to you.

The rules are different, if you change the rules of Huaxia, you will think you are unlucky, unless the seller said that there is a problem in the transaction.

I'm sorry, there is a problem with the return of a sentence that will only be added between real friends in Huaxia, and in the Japanese antique industry, this is almost a rule.

But it's still the saying that the forest is big and there are all kinds of birds, in case you run into a gringo who doesn't follow the rules, of course, then you deserve to be unlucky.

......

People from Columbia Pictures' marketing department arrived, and the next day they visited Toho.

Not far away, also in Chiyodaqu, this Zhang Nan really does not have any hope for Tokyo's ground transportation.

As for the subway......

I don't sit in New York, not to mention that the crowding of the Tokyo subway is at least among the top three in the world, Zhang Nan is afraid that he will enter the three-dimensional and come out.

Zhang Nan stayed in the headquarters of Dongbao Company for less than two hours, and also went to the set of Dongbao Company, and the scene he saw was an eye-opener for a group of people!

There is no exaggeration, and I finally figured out how the shots of "Little Monster vs. Ultraman" were filmed!

A platform about 1.5 meters high, with simple hydraulic devices on all four feet, the little monster and Ultraman came up to the stage and began to fight......

"Very dedicated!"

Watching the filming while wearing a sun hat Adjani said.

"Well, absolutely dedicated!"

Zhang Nan agreed.

It's a TV series for kids, but no matter what season it is, it's waiting to be broadcast on the TV station.

Not to mention the prop costume of the little monster that looks amazingly thick, even if Ultraman is of course wearing the clothes, even if it is a real salted egg Superman, he will have heat stroke!

The cameraman on the side of the stage carried the camera to shoot, and after filming a paragraph, the actor hit again because the cameraman changed the angle.

There are two people in each of the four corners of the platform: the platform looks hydraulic, but in fact, it has to be pushed up and down, making the ground feel shaken.

And that's not all, a few young men threw sand, talcum powder, and broken newspapers on their heads......

it!

That's how the sand and rocks fly, and the sky and the earth crack.

Take a shot of a group of people, lively!

This shot can't be done in the studio yet, because I heard the escort say that there should be a real blue sky and white clouds as the background......

The platform is so high, shoot up.

After filming a paragraph, the two actors came down and took off their prop costumes, and Zhang Nan actually found that Ultraman was actually a woman!

Soaking wet, he drank water.

"Ultraman is a woman?"

I couldn't help but ask Yasuko Sawaguchi, who was accompanied.

The latter smiled slightly awkwardly and whispered, "Famous actors don't want to suffer this crime." ”

Poor little stand-in.

looked at a stuntman with a big pie face, and then glanced at Adjani and Yasuko Sawaguchi beside him, Zhang Nan replied in a low voice: "This is really a time to fight for my parents." ”
