Chapter 3: "Sea Village"
When the film began to be screened, Lin Xiuyi secretly reminded himself in his heart that he must take a good look at this movie, even if it is really not good, he should build some confidence in Akemi. However, after the movie was screened for 20 minutes, Lin Xiuyi sincerely felt that this was indeed a very good-looking film.
The film tells the story of Xiaomei, who works as a nurse in Tokyo, because she is tired of life in the big city, and returns to her hometown of Shiomi Village in Hokkaido to live with her grandmother alone. There are no twists and turns in the film from beginning to end, just truthfully telling the daily life of Xiaomei and her grandmother.
Shiomi Village is a small, ordinary fishing village located on the coast of the Sea of Japan, where most of its residents depend on fishing and farming for their livelihoods. Because the young people have left the villages to settle in the big cities. Most of the residents who remain here are elderly. Everyone lives a life of sunrise and sunset every day. And the movie records the story of the protagonist Xiaomei's life here.
It takes 30 minutes to ride a bicycle to the village post office from where Xiaomei's family lives, an hour round trip, and even longer in winter. Because of the inconvenient transportation and the fact that most of the residents here are elderly. As a result, the residents of Shiomi Village live a self-sufficient life for the most part.
Because they are self-sufficient, Xiaomei and her grandmother can make full use of the gifts of nature, wild fruits on the roadside, bracken in the mountains, various crops harvested in the farmland, all kinds of seafood harvested during the fishing season, vegetables grown by themselves, and all kinds of fish caught from the stream next to the village are cherished by Xiaomei's efforts, and do their best to make them into a variety of delicacies.
"Do you feel like you've been healed by Miko?"
When the movie ended, Lin Xiuyi said sincerely to Akemi.
"Surely...... Do you want to comfort me?"
"No, it's really a very good movie. How so...... In short, it's the kind of movie that makes people have an endless aftertaste after watching it, and I envy the protagonist in the movie!"
Lin Xiuyi took Akemi's hand and said to Akemi sincerely. He is not a professional film critic, and he rarely watches this kind of movie except for horror and suspense films, but the film "Sea Village" brought him a feeling of being healed for a long time.
I don't know if it's because of Lin Xiuyi's words, Akemi's somewhat uneasy mood has been somewhat relieved. Soon after, Miko and Reina, who had finished watching "Sea Village" in another screening room, also found them together, and everyone thought that this was a good film with a lot of texture, beauty, and a sense of life.
……
Because the film is only a low-budget literary film, there are only 30 screens in the whole of Japan during the release period. However, if you take into account the production cost of the whole movie, it will not actually make the producer lose too much. Perhaps perhaps because the quality of the film is really good, just a week after the release of this movie, many audiences and professional film critics gave the movie high praise.
"I just watched this movie with my family, and my mother said that Miko's life reminded her of the days when she lived in the countryside when she was a child......
"As the first big-screen work of Akemi Sonoji, a popular idol in the past, I originally walked into the cinema with a hint of watching jokes, but I was inexplicably healed by Miko's life. I thought that an actress who had an affair with a senior official of the Metropolitan Police Department would not have any acting skills, but this movie gave me a completely different understanding of Akemi, a girl who debuted as an idol......"
"Those delicacies in the movie are so tempting, I really don't know if Akemi-chan broke up with that old man, if I have the opportunity to taste these dishes made by Akemi-chan herself, I would be willing to die immediately!"
……
The continuous praise has gradually fermented the reputation of "Sea Village". As a result, a week after its release, the number of screens showing the film nationwide gradually increased to 60. Because the film was unexpectedly popular, the producers, who were originally too lazy to do publicity, began to pay attention to it. As a result, Akemi, who thought her job was over, was suddenly told that she was going to participate in a lot of temporary publicity activities.
"Akemi-chan, don't let those reporters take pictures of you and Lin Xiuyi together during this time. Do you know how lucky you are to come across such a great opportunity?"
Zo-**, who hadn't been in contact with her for a few days, suddenly contacted Akemi and solemnly warned her. During this period of time, because of the impact of scandals. Akemi's popularity has declined very much, and many crews and programs that were originally interested in working with her have stopped their previous contact. This made Akemi's work less work all of a sudden. But who would have thought that Akemi's "Sea Village" would unexpectedly become a film that won the unanimous approval of the audience and critics? Finally, with such an important opportunity, Takashima Sae naturally had to work 120,000 points to eliminate all adverse influences.
"What do you mean...... I'm not allowed to meet again with Shu-chan, are you?"
Akemi asked Sae Takashima with some concern on the phone.
"Yes, you can only contact by phone during this time, and meeting is absolutely not allowed, unless you want to give up your dream of becoming an artist and quit the entertainment industry to marry with peace of mind...... Akemi-chan ...... In the entertainment industry, apart from getting married, how many people will marry at your age? If you make a more serious scandal this time, you just wait for those advertisers to ask you for liquidated damages one by one!"
Sae Takashima warned Akemi on the phone in a stern tone.
Hearing that it might cause such serious consequences, Akemi immediately understood her situation. She clutched the phone in her hand tightly, and didn't know what to say for a long time.
"Akemi-chan, I've seen all the endorsement contracts you signed at the previous office, because you were a newcomer at the time, and the Iiyama office just wanted to make a lot of money on you at that time, so you signed a lot of long-term commercial endorsement contracts at that time, the shortest of which was five years, and most of the contracts required you not to fall in love during the signing period. The matter of the last press conference almost triggered the compensation clause, but fortunately, Officer Lin did not accept your relationship at that time, and the other party was a bureaucrat of the Metropolitan Police Department, so those partners did not take this matter seriously. ”
"Now that you finally have a chance to regain popularity, if you are really photographed by the media with someone else, those sponsors will definitely not give up.
