Chapter 4: What the hell is Suhr?
Akimi Oshima is an anxious child, so she will do what she says, and immediately called a friend to inquire about the contact information of Kazumi Watanabe.
The law of six was well confirmed by her, and after a long time, Akimi Oshima quickly contacted Kazumi Watanabe.
"Is it Mr. Watanabe, I'm Akimi Oshima...... I have a guitar here...... When is it convenient for you? Today? Can you ...... Yes, no hassle...... Ok, I remembered ......"
After a while, Akimi Oshima hung up the phone, made an OK gesture to Lin Hai, and said, "That's it, let's go to Mr. Watanabe's house now." β
β¦β¦
Watanabe lives in Setagaya Ward, southwest of Tokyo.
In Japan, if you hear a person say that he lives in Setagaya, everyone will silently say "rich man" in their hearts.
Yes, it's home to some of the most prestigious high-end people in Tokyo and Japan, and it's populated by entrepreneurs, politicians and celebrities.
Setagaya's residences are mainly single-family villas, with a variety of styles, and along the way, there are no duplicate ones.
"If only I could stay here. Akimi Oshima said with emotion.
"Yes," Lin Hai nodded, "We'll move over when we have the money." β
"Then you have to work hard, the house here is not cheap......"
Xiaomei Oshima popularized the housing prices here to Lin Hai, and Lin Hai smiled and did not say anything.
It's really not cheap, just take the villa in front of you, after 20 years, it's barely enough to change a three-bedroom apartment in Hongkou, Shanghai.
β¦β¦
The car stopped in front of the "three-bedroom".
After confirming the name tag hanging at the door, Akimi Oshima pressed the doorbell and turned around to remind Lin Hai: "Don't be rude in front of Mr. Watanabe for a while." β
Lin Hai nodded, indicating that he understood.
After a while, the door opened, and a middle-aged man who looked a little like Wu Xiubo walked out quickly.
"Excuse me, is it Miss Oshima?"
"Yes, Mr. Watanabe, I'm Akimi Oshima. β
Oshima Xiaomei pulled Lin Hai to her side as she said and said, "This is my brother Lin Hai." β
Kazumi Watanabe nodded and invited the two of them in.
β¦β¦
When he came to the living room, Lin Hai found that there were other visitors, and it was even more coincidental that he actually knew this person.
Kenji Kawai, a golden retriever uncle who writes "Kawaii" and reads "kawaii".
Kawai is a famous Japanese soundtrack master and is known for his high prolific performance. Not many people may know his name, but when it comes to his soundtracks, I believe most people are familiar with them - such as "When the Cicadas Cried", "Ghost in the Shell", "Fate/Stay-Night" and so on.
What? You say you're not interested in ACG? You should have heard of movies like "Ip Man" and "Seven Swords".
Or to change to a more well-known one, Huang Rihua's version of "Dragon Babu" also has his musical works.
By the way, the soundtrack lineup of this TV series is simply inhumane! Not to mention the domestic ones, just the foreign aid - Hisaishi Jean, Kitaro, Divine Thinker, Hattori Takayuki, Kawai Kenji, James Horner and a series of other glittering names are simply blinding...... As for whether the foreign aid received money...... Hawkers,If you know that Duan Yu peeped at Mrs. Ma, it sounded 1/2 of the BGM of Ranma (also used in "Huanzhu Gege"), you will find that music is really a fucking magical thing.
β¦β¦
It's far away, let's get down to business.
Kawai and Watanabe are neighbors who often visit, and he has the impression that Mr. Watanabe is a person with a stable personality. However, Mr. Watanabe's behavior today was particularly abnormal, and since he answered the phone, he became restless, and as soon as the doorbell rang just now, he rushed out directly.
Mr. Watanabe can't have borrowed from a loan shark, right?
Kawai's mind was wide open, and he was worried about Watanabe's safety, so he didn't leave.
Seeing that the person who came was not a fierce debt collector, but a beautiful woman and an even more beautiful teenager, Kawai breathed a sigh of relief, and his brain began to stir again.
Lover, bastard, oh my God! I'm not going to be killed, am I?
Watanabe didn't know what Kawai was thinking, otherwise he might have really killed him.
He introduced, "This is Mr. Kawai, and this is Miss Oshima......"
The two sides were polite and sat down separately.
Seeing that Watanabe's eyes never left the piano case, Lin Hai smiled knowingly, took out the guard plate wrapped in soft cloth, gently placed it on the piano case, made a gesture of please, and then said to the confused Kawai: "We accidentally found a guitar, which may be the ...... that Mr. Watanabe lost before"
Watanabe didn't know what Lin Hai was talking about, he carefully picked up the guard, looked at the familiar handwriting on the guard plate in a daze, and after a while, said in a trembling voice: "That's right, it's ......"
After all, he had seen a big scene, Watanabe quickly adjusted his mood, said rudeness, and said to Akimi Oshima: "Miss Oshima, this piano is very important to me, I am willing to buy it for 100 million yen, I hope you can cut your love......"
"Mr. Watanabe, I think you misunderstood. Oshima Xiaomei swallowed and said, "This piano was found by my brother, and he wants it to be returned to its original owner, of course, I mean the same." β
Hearing the conversation between the two, Kawai's eyes widened.
Watanabe's bid for a guitar was surprising enough, but what was even more surprising was that this woman actually refused!
Seeing Watanabe looking at him, Lin Hai nodded and said, "That's true." Of course, it's impossible not to pay a penny, I remember it cost a million yen to buy a piano, and you didn't throw away the receipt, did you?"
The latter words were said to Akimi Oshima.
Oshima Xiaomei rewarded Lin Hai with a burst of chestnuts, and scolded with a smile: "What are you talking about!"
Watanabe and Kawai also laughed, knowing that Lin Hai said this to liven up the atmosphere. Japan is as polite as China, and even if he doesn't say it, how can Watanabe not say anything?
Watanabe looked at Lin Hai, but he didn't expect that this young man was not only handsome, but also more mature than his peers - in the face of the 100 million yen at his fingertips, he could still talk calmly and laughing, and there were not many adults to find, right?
Watanabe stood up, took a step back, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you very much......
The two were startled, and hurriedly got up, even saying that they didn't dare to do it.
Under the persuasion of everyone, Watanabe sat down again and asked Lin Hai curiously how he found the instrument.
"My former music teacher once visited Mr. Takayanagi and heard Mr. Takayanagi tell the story of this instrument......
"I see. β
Watanabe suddenly realized, and asked the name of Mr. Lin Hai again, but he was not impressed.
Of course, it is impossible to have an impression, this unwarranted teacher and the above story were all made up casually by Lin Hai.
There's no way, it doesn't matter what Watanabe thinks, but looking at the way Akimi Oshima wants to talk and stops talking along the way, if she doesn't give a reasonable explanation, I'm afraid she won't be able to sleep tonight.
Anyway, Takayanagi Masayuki has been dead for many years, and there is no proof of who he said to anyone before his death.
"How many years have you been learning guitar?" Watanabe asked.
"It's been eight years. "Lin Hai is talking about this life.
"That's not short, how is it playing?"
"It's ok. β
Lin Hai said modestly.
He felt that he was low-key enough, but in the eyes of others, he could only be described as arrogant.
Kawai rolled his eyes.
Who is Watanabe? He is Japan's No. 1 guitarist in the eyes of professionals, Kawai only dares to say "I still need to work hard" in front of him, and Lin Hai says that he can play "okay", in Kawai's view, he is either ignorant and fearless, or he is young and vigorous and has no one in his eyes.
Watanabe didn't think there was anything wrong with Lin Hai's words. In his opinion, self-awareness is a process of continuous improvement, and he also felt that he was "okay" when he was young, only to slowly find out that "it is not good yet".
From Lin Hai, Watanabe seemed to see himself back then, so he asked again: "What style are you good at?"
"It's all right. β
Again.
Kawai couldn't complain, so he smiled and said, "Why don't you play a song and let us enjoy it?"
"Is that okay?"
Lin Hai asked Watanabe. He was not a fool, and he realized that there was something wrong with what he had just said, but he had no intention of changing his wordsβno matter how much he said or how low he posed, it was not as convincing as the music itself.
"Of course, please follow me. Watanabe stood up, smiled and made a gesture of please.
β¦β¦
Watanabe led a few people to the next room.
As soon as he entered the door, Lin Hai was stunned.
The first thing that catches your eye is a row of guitars hanging on the wall, ranging from classical to folk to all kinds of electric guitars, although they are few but all of them are treasures. This is obviously not Watanabe's entire collection, but it is often used, which is why it is hung here.
After watching the guitar and then looking at the equipment, even compared with professional recording studios, it is not much inferior, which really makes Lin Hai's eyes hot.
Shaking his head to drive away the evil thoughts of ransacking the place, Lin Hai asked Watanabe's permission to take a Suhr brand solid electric guitar from the wall.
Seeing his choice, Kawai pursed his lips and decided that the other party was a rookie.
Anyone in the know knows that the best way to play jazz is a hollow or semi-hollow guitar, which comes out with a warmer and heavier tone. What kind of trouble is it to not play jazz in front of the jazz masters?
Besides, even if you want to choose a solid piano, you have to choose a big G, what the hell is Suhr?
