480 There is no Snow Country here?
"Cao Sang, here, this is the bookstore!"
Akina Nakamori's sudden appearance made Cao Zhiqiang come back to his senses.
Looking up, sure enough, they had already walked to the door of a bookstore.
This bookstore looks new, not only with new signs, but also with modern and trendy decoration, and it doesn't have the sense of history of other bookstores.
But that's it, the key is the name of the bookstore, which makes Cao Zhiqiang feel familiar.
"Tsutaya Bookstore?" Cao Zhiqiang subconsciously touched his chin, "It won't be the chain Internet celebrity bookstore I knew in my previous life, right?" ”
After smiling slightly, Cao Zhiqiang no longer thought about this, but followed Akina Nakamori into the bookstore.
After entering, I found that the interior covers a large area, and it is very bright, and the decoration is also simple, revealing fashion and trendiness everywhere, which is different from the traditional Japanese bookstore.
"Not bad, not bad." Cao Zhiqiang nodded, "It's quite big, this is a new one?" ”
"yes." Akina Nakamori smiled, "This bookstore only opened this year, and it has been open for less than three months.
Not only can you buy books and rent books, but you can also rent CDs, LPs, cassette tapes, video tapes, and even laser CDs.
By the way, in addition to these, there is also an on-site café where you can enjoy a coffee and a book.
When I have free time, I like to sit here and drink coffee while listening to songs, or drinking coffee while reading manga, which is very interesting. ”
Cao Zhiqiang nodded: "That's really good." ”
After a slight pause, Cao Zhiqiang said, "In this way, can we act separately?" I'd like to wander around alone and go back and meet at the in-house café you mentioned, okay? ”
"This ......" Akina Nakamori hesitated for a moment, but quickly smiled, "No problem, so be it." ”
As a result, Cao Zhiqiang and Akina Nakamori directly separated, each acting alone, and each looking for their favorite books and audio-visual products.
After separating, Akina Nakamori went straight to the manga area, and at first glance she was a manga lover.
Cao Zhiqiang, on the other hand, went to the book area to see what the books here were, or what kind of bestsellers they were.
The reason is also very simple, that is, Cao Zhiqiang thought about plagiarizing "Norwegian Wood" before, although he thought it should be no problem, but after all, he decided to investigate and investigate first.
After all, he had already discovered that this world was only plausible and not exactly the same as the world in his previous life, and it could not be regarded as the past tense of the world in his previous life.
Therefore, Cao Zhiqiang's past history can have a certain reference, but it is not appropriate to copy it completely.
"Norwegian Wood", in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, was first published by Haruki Murakami in 1987, and it is said that the 1983 year of this world should not have appeared.
But there is a chance in everything, so he still has to come and see it first.
At the very least, he has to make sure that "Norwegian Wood" does not appear, so that if he plagiarizes it, it can be considered original.
At first, he didn't ask the service staff here, but just searched silently in some districts.
I searched and searched, searched and searched, and sure enough, there was no book "Norwegian Wood".
Out of insurance, Cao Zhiqiang searched every interval and confirmed that there was really no "Norwegian Wood", which made him breathe a sigh of relief.
At the same time, he discovers something strange.
There's no Snow Country here?
There is no famous book by Yasunari Kawabata - "Snow Country"!
You must know that in Cao Zhiqiang's memory, "Snow Country" is a well-known masterpiece in Japan.
In Japan, "Snow Country" is second only to "The Tale of Genji" as a famous book, and it is impossible for a large bookstore to do without it.
But there is no here.
After discovering this situation, Cao Zhiqiang began to search for other things like Yasunari Kawabata, such as "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand Cranes", but found that there were none.
Just when Cao Zhiqiang thought that in this world, Yasunari Kawabata did not exist, he found "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and the author was Yasunari Kawabata.
But if you look for it again, there is only one copy of "Yasunari Kawabata", which is full of some short and medium stories that he wrote in his early days, and his later masterpieces, such as his most famous "Snow Country", are not in it at all.
Out of curiosity, Cao Zhiqiang directly found a bookstore attendant and asked about Yasunari Kawabata's situation.
The other party is an enthusiastic middle-aged man, who seems to know Kawabata Yasunari's situation very well, and found that Cao Zhiqiang took the initiative to ask Kawabata Yasunari, and explained it very happily.
After listening to the other party's explanation, Cao Zhiqiang realized what the problem was.
It turned out that the previous experience of Yasunari Kawabata here was similar to what Cao Zhiqiang remembered, and the problem was in 1930.
In this world in 1930, Yasunari Kawabata here was unfortunately arrested for helping Yuto Kurahara in private, and then committed suicide in prison.
Of course, there is also a theory here that he did not commit suicide in prison at that time, but died of persecution.
Anyway, Yasunari Kawabata here died in 1930, and he was a bachelor until he died, and he never married at all.
Perhaps because of this, Kawabata Yasunari has a very high status here, and he is not only a famous writer in Japanese history, but also an anti-*** fighter for democracy.
However, it is precisely because he died too early that many famous works in the later period did not appear, such as his most classic, the three masterpieces that once helped him win the Nobel Prize in Literature, "Snow Country", "Ancient Capital", and "A Thousand Cranes", all of which did not appear.
Naturally, Yasunari Kawabata cannot become a leading figure in the Japanese literary world, at least not on a par with Osamu Dazai, and there is no love between Osamu Dazai and Yasunari Kawabata.
It can only be said that Yasunari Kawabata here was ill-fated, obviously very talented, but died too early.
But in fact, if you think about it, in fact, no matter which world Kawabata Yasunari has, there is a tendency to self-destruct, and Kawabata Yasunari in Cao Zhiqiang's previous life also died of suicide later, but it was only after he was very old.
In the memory of Cao Zhiqiang's previous life, Yasunari Kawabata in that world was indeed sympathetic to red ideals when he was young, and helped many red people, but he was never arrested.
But here, Yasunari Kawabata was unlucky, he was arrested and imprisoned, and then he died in a daze, and he didn't know whether he committed suicide or was killed, but he was dead anyway.
"Hey, according to that, his "Snow Country" hasn't appeared yet, so I can write it, can I ...... it?"
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang's heart suddenly jumped with a pop.
Unlike "Norwegian Wood", "Snow Country" is a completely different thing.
Although "Norwegian Wood" sells well, it can be said that this is something similar to domestic martial arts, or a relatively popular romance, in terms of literature, it is not comparable with "Snow Country" at all.
"Snow Country" is a masterpiece that can win the Nobel Prize for Literature, and it is also the highest achievement in the life of the great writer Yasunari Kawabata.
How awesome is this one?
The so-called "the most beautiful Nobel Prize in literature in the world" is "Snow Country"!
In addition, this one also has a feature, that is, there is no specific era, or rather, any era can be put in.
In other words, if you plagiarize this now, you won't have any problems.
The only problem is that as a foreigner, it seems a little too abrupt to write such a Japanese-style work.
Well, it's okay, you can take your time.
For example, if you can travel to other places and learn more about Japanese customs, read more magazines here, and then write "Snow Country", it will not arouse suspicion.
Also, it is appropriate to release a best-selling book before "Snow Country", such as "Norwegian Wood".
"Norwegian Wood" is used to build fame, and "Snow Country" is used to win awards.
By the way, just in case, before writing "Snow Country", you can copy "Ancient Capital" and "Thousand Cranes" together.
The trilogy has to be complete.
Anyway, in these three films, most of them are fantasy, and it is no problem to write them from a foreigner's perspective.
For example, "The Chrysanthemum and the Knife", wasn't it also written by a foreigner, and it has also become a well-known masterpiece in Japan.
At most, after the work is written, participate in fewer interviews and keep it more mysterious.
Perhaps, if you copy the three works of Yasunari Kawabata, you can win a Nobel Prize for Literature for it.
Of course, this is not absolute, after all, the Nobel Prize in Literature also talks about the times.
Yasunari Kawabata was able to win the Nobel Prize in Literature in the sixties.
It's the eighties, and if you write those three by yourself, you are still Chinese, and you may not be able to win the award.
Not necessarily, though.
The Nobel Prize, as people in later generations know, is a thing that talks about Western politics through and through.
It's hard to say if you're 2,000 years from now.
But if it was the early eighties, it wasn't necessarily the case.
Because in the 80s, it was the best period for China to have relations with Western society.
Even if it is politically correct, Western society should be more tolerant of Chinese literati, or at least give a date to eat.
Well, yes, yes, plagiarism of the "Snowpiercer" trilogy can be put on the agenda.
However, the order of publishing the book must be arranged, you must first plagiarize "Norwegian Wood", first beat the fame, and then come to "Ancient Capital" and "A Thousand Cranes" to pave the way, and finally use "Snow Country" to kill with one blow.
Of course, even if you can't win the Nobel Prize, at least Japan's Akutagawa Prize must be won.
"Norwegian Wood" is just that, but a work like the "Snow Country" trilogy, even in the 80s, there is no reason why it can't win the Akutagawa Award.
"Isn't it a little greedy?" Cao Zhiqiang squinted and thought for a while, "Originally, copying so many Japanese songs was conspicuous enough, and if I also shine in literature again, it seems that it is too easy to attract attention and is not conducive to my spy career." ”
After thinking about it again and again, Cao Zhiqiang decided to copy it out.
Let's not say that I'm sorry for the system and myself if he doesn't copy it, the key is that if he becomes famous, it will actually be more beneficial to his "espionage".
It is not for nothing that the light is dark, and the average person would not believe that a famous writer who has been famous in the Western world for a long time could be a spy.
And fame itself is also a kind of protection, some irregular operations can deal with ordinary people, but it is not suitable for dealing with celebrities.
"Yes, you can, the operation of the great Japanese writer can improve the schedule."
"But this kind of thing can't be rushed, you have to take it slowly, it's better to stay in Japan for a while, travel more around Japan, learn more about customs and habits, and then write it out, which is more reasonable."
"Big singer, big writer, it seems that I am destined to go forever on the road of plagiarism."
After sighing a few words again, Cao Zhiqiang simply bought a copy of "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and then went to the café to find Akina Nakamori.
As soon as I came to the café, I quickly found Akina Nakamori, and it turned out that she had come early in the morning and was reading manga here while drinking coffee.
After meeting with Akina Nakamori, Cao Zhiqiang took a look at the comic she read, yo, it turned out to be "Football Player".
By the way, the comic "Football Player" seems to have appeared in 1983, and it was a very popular comic as soon as it appeared, and it was a popular comic at that time.
It can be seen that Akina Nakamori likes to watch "Football Player", which is normal.
"Isn't it, Izu's dancing girl? You actually bought this book? Akina Nakamori looked at the book in Cao Zhiqiang's hand.
"What, is there a problem?" Cao Zhiqiang looked up and asked with a smile.
Akina Nakamori frowned: "This, this book is a bit difficult to read, and, and there are a lot of erotic descriptions of men and women in it, it doesn't seem very good at your age?" ”
Cao Zhiqiang smiled: "The hero in it is only nineteen years old, and I am also nineteen years old, what's the problem?" ”
"This ......" Akina Nakamori bit her lip and lowered her head and stopped talking.
Seeing her expression, Cao Zhiqiang shook his head amusedly, and immediately recognized Akina Nakamori's conservatism at this time.
That's right, "The Dancing Girl of Izu" does have some erotic depictions, but it is not explicit, but it is very beautifully written.
In fact, if you are a teenager who loves literature, you will generally like "The Dancing Girl of Izu" because it is more youthful and the description is more beautiful.
Yasunari Kawabata is known as "the most beautiful writer in Japan", but it is not nonsense.
The story of his works is average, but the description of characters with rich connotations is something that ordinary people can't do.
But it can also be seen from this that Akina Nakamori is not a literary girl, so she doesn't like "The Dancing Girl of Izu", and there are many misunderstandings.
If Kyoko Koizumi, who prefers literature, I'm afraid it will be different.
"Huh." Cao Zhiqiang suddenly closed the book, "Actually, the reason why I bought this book is because of the recommendation of others. It is said that this book is very famous and has been put into a movie, and it was also played by Momoe Yamaguchi, so I was interested. ”
"Ah, that's right." Akina Nakamori said with a smile, "Indeed, this one is very famous and has been on the screen many times. Yamaguchi Momoe-senpai is just one of them, and although it's not bad, I prefer Sayuri-sangai Yoshinaga to play it. ”
"Yes." Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Cao Zhiqiang looked at his watch: "Ah, it's not early, we should go back, so as not to worry them, after all, we have to shoot a short film in the afternoon." ”
"Ah, okay." Akina Nakamori looked at the manga in her hand with some reluctance, but still closed it again, "Then let's go back, but you wait for me first, and I'll return the book." ”
"Return?" Cao Zhiqiang looked at Akina Nakamori, "Won't you buy it?" You seem to like this manga very much, can't you buy it and read it slowly? You shouldn't be short of that money, right? ”
Akina Nakamori smiled: "It's different, if I buy it, I may throw it aside and never read it again, but if it's a rental book to read, I will be very urgent, and I will read it very carefully and carefully within the specified time."
So, I prefer to rent books instead of buying them, which is not the same as whether I have the money to buy them. ”
"Understood." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly, "It seems that your self-control is a little poor." ”
"Ah, you can see it." Akina Nakamori stuck out her tongue, "Actually, I really have very poor self-control, and someone must restrain me, otherwise...... Oh, don't talk about it, wait for me, I'll return the book first. ”
After saying that, Akina Nakamori stood up, picked up the comic in his hand, and trotted to change the book.
And looking at the back of Akina Nakamori returning the book, Cao Zhiqiang nodded again.
He now understands a little bit why Akina Nakamori has been deceived by scumbags again and again and can't get out again and again, it seems that it is not necessarily that she can't extricate herself from the depths of love, but more likely is her lack of self-control.
Hey, forget it, what are you thinking about.
After all, this world is not the same as the world in my previous life.
Perhaps, Akina Nakamori here will not fall in love with that scumbag again.
And even if she meets that scumbag again and continues to fall in love with someone, that's none of my business.
After all, I'm not an iron fan and a wet nurse for Akina Nakamori.
If I have to talk about a Japanese female star in the 80s that I like, I only think of one, and that is the last beauty of the Showa era - Yasuko Sawaguchi.
But I've been in Japan for so long, and I've never heard of a female star named Yasuko Sawaguchi here.
Is there no Yasuko Sawaguchi in this world, or is the time wrong, and she hasn't debuted yet?
By the way, I remember that Yasuko Sawaguchi graduated from Rizumiyang High School in Osaka Prefecture, and it seems that she graduated from '83 or '84.
If you have the chance, why don't you go to that school and look for it?
If there is really Yasuko Sawaguchi in this world, in terms of her appearance, it is absolutely impossible to be unknown, at least in that high school, it is impossible to be unknown.
Hmmm, it's good to have a chance to check it out.
In case she hasn't debuted yet, I can dig it up in advance.
Anyway, in the future, I want to set up a record company and agent company here in Japan, and sooner or later I will have to dig out local artists, after all, I will be very busy in the future, and I can't do everything myself.
I have so many good songs, I sing them all by myself, I'm so tired,
It is best to tap a group of potential artists and let the artists make money for themselves.
After all, in the Japanese entertainment industry, the most profitable thing is always the artist company, not the artist himself.
Yasuko Sawaguchi can act and sing, if she hasn't debuted yet, she has to start first.
As long as the packaging is good and some good songs are given, Yasuko Sawaguchi may not be worse than Akina Nakamori.
Even if there wasn't that person in Osaka, I would have been a tourist.
Thinking of this, Cao Zhiqiang showed a bright smile.
Sure enough, as a traverser, the thinking must diverge and the pattern must be opened.
I can't just think about doing everything myself, the key is to build an elite team and let the team make money for me, which is the king.
That's right, here in Japan, for the time being, we will follow this step, focusing on the entertainment industry.
If you have money, you will invest it in the country, first engage in the entertainment industry to make quick money, and then use the money to invest in industry.
As long as you take your time, sooner or later you will be able to transform from a great writer and a great singer to a great industrialist.
Industrial prosperity, only by becoming a real big industrialist, this is not in vain!
