Slowly, Masashi Sada opened his sleepy eyes.
The feeling of exhaustion caused by the hangover made him feel uncomfortable all over; the dry throat made him subconsciously shout "water".
Of course, all in Japanese.
"Huh? Mr. Sada, are you awake? Do you want water? There is herbal tea here. Get up and drink some first."
"Thanks."
Masashi Sada subconsciously thanked him, but when he just sat up from the bed, he was suddenly stunned.
Because at this time, Masashi Sada's mind was already spinning.
It was precisely because of this that Masashi Sada discovered that he was in a strange place.
After blinking, Masashi Sada looked at the person opposite and thought for three seconds before he realized: "Oh, you are, you are Cao, Cao..."
"Cao Zhiqiang." Cao Zhiqiang continued to speak in Japanese with a smile, "We just met last night and had dinner together, Mr. Sada."
"Oh, I remember." Masashi Sada nodded, "Are you Mr. Cao, a poet, or the president of a publishing company that is about to open?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Masashi Sada frowned, looked around, and asked again: "Where is this? Why am I here?"
Cao Zhiqiang smiled and pointed at the glass of water on the bedside table and said: "Mr. Sada, your voice is a bit hoarse. Drink some tea first to moisten your throat before talking."
Masashi Sada looked at the glass of water on the bedside table, swallowed subconsciously, and then nodded to Cao Zhiqiang: "That would be disrespectful."
After saying that, Masashi Sada picked up the glass of water and drank it all in one breath.
After drinking the cup of herbal tea, Cao Zhiqiang picked up the teapot and poured another cup for Masashi Sada.
Masashi Sada drank it all in one gulp again.
In this way, after Masashi Sada drank three glasses of water, he took a long breath: "Ah, I finally feel alive. Thank you, thank you, President Cao."
Cao Zhiqiang put down the teapot and shook his head: "It should be done with a little effort."
At this time, Masashi Sada, whose mind was completely clear, blinked and asked with confusion on his face: "Um, President Cao, why am I here?"
"You really can't remember anything?" Cao Zhiqiang smiled and sat down on a chair opposite.
Masashi Sada frowned and shook his head: "I don't remember anything. I, I seem to have stopped drinking. I just remember drinking with you, but I can't remember anything else."
Cao Zhiqiang nodded and told why Sada Masashi was here.
It turned out that last night, Masashi Sada passed out drunk at the wine table in advance, and then everyone chatted for a while, but after a while, they started talking about the translator brought by Director Chen who had diarrhea, diarrhea, and no appetite.
Next, Director Dai was worried and went to the toilet to see how translator Zhou was doing. When he went there, he found that the young translator had fainted in the toilet cubicle with a pale face.
At this time, Director Dai was immediately frightened and did not dare to move. He immediately ran out to report to Director Chen.
Director Chen was older and more stable. After checking the situation, he immediately asked someone to call the emergency number and call an ambulance.
After the ambulance arrived, Director Chen and Director Dai were worried and went to the hospital with the car.
As a result, Cao Zhiqiang, Yu Deli and the drunken Masashi Sada were left on the scene.
Since it was very late, Cao Zhiqiang asked Yu Deli to go back first so as not to worry his sister-in-law, saying that he would handle it here.
In this way, Yu Deli also left, leaving only Cao Zhiqiang and Masashi Sada.
As for Masashi Sada, because he was so drunk, Cao Zhiqiang couldn't wake up no matter how loud he shouted. As a result, there was no way to know which room he was staying in.
With no other choice, Cao Zhiqiang called the manager and asked the manager to look at the situation before he found out which room Masashi Sada lived in.
However, at this time, Cao Zhiqiang asked one more question, asking if the other party lived alone.
When he learned that the other party did live alone, Cao Zhiqiang did not take him to his room. Instead, he chose to take Sada Masashi back to his home in Houhai, where Qinghong lived.
Cao Zhiqiang's statement was that he saw Masashi Sada drunk and unconscious, and had no friends around to take care of him. He was worried that something would happen to him if he went back alone, so he took him back to his home so that he could take care of him and prevent Masashi Sada from drunkenly dying in his room. .
Upon hearing what Cao Zhiqiang said, Masashi Sada was very moved, bowed and nodded quickly, and said all kinds of compliments as if they were free of charge.
In response, Cao Zhiqiang just smiled and said he was polite, saying that this was what he should do.
Well, judging from the process, what Cao Zhiqiang said is indeed correct, but in fact, Cao Zhiqiang's motive for bringing Masashi Sada back was not that simple.
If we say that at the beginning, Cao Zhiqiang was indeed very unfamiliar with the name Masashi Sada.
So when he heard the name of "Talk about the Yangtze River", a documentary TV series that had not yet been aired, and even heard a documentary film called "The Yangtze River" that had been released in Japan before, he even heard Masashi Sada talking wildly about him. After losing how much money, he immediately realized who Masashi Sada was.
In his previous life, Cao Zhiqiang watched the TV series "Talk about the Yangtze River" and also watched the Japanese version of the movie "The Yangtze River".
Of course, Cao Zhiqiang has not completely read these two works. He only watched excerpts or short videos.
In addition, Cao Zhiqiang is even more familiar with the theme song of the Yangtze River, which is "Song of the Yangtze River", because he learned this song when he was in elementary school, and of course he also knows where this song comes from.
Later, Cao Zhiqiang once read a long article on the Internet analyzing the stories before and after "Talk about the Yangtze River", and he also had a certain impression about it.
Especially after knowing that this documentary series, which has created the highest ratings record in China, was originally a film made by a Japanese singer. The Japanese singer even went into debt for it and did not pay off the debt until he was sixty years old. It's jaw-dropping.
It's just that the Japanese singer, Masashi Sada, may be a very famous person to many people born in the 1960s in China, but to Cao Zhiqiang, he has no impression at all.
Because of this, when Yu Deli first talked about Masashi Sada alone, he couldn't remember who he was.
But when he told Director Chen, Director Dai and others that the purpose of their trip was to discuss the copyright issue of the documentary film "Yangtze River" with Masashi Sada, Cao Zhiqiang understood everything.
This is why Cao Zhiqiang suddenly proposed to write lyrics for "Talk about the Yangtze River".
Because he remembered that the popular "Song of the Yangtze River" began to collect lyrics from the whole country after the last episode of the TV series "Talk about the Yangtze River" was broadcast.
Before that, Song of the Yangtze River was just a piece of pure music without lyrics, and there were some slight differences in the tune.
The success of "Talk about the Yangtze River" is undoubted, and the theme song of this documentary, "Song of the Yangtze River", is also very successful.
After all, it is a work that can be selected as a primary school textbook. How can it not be successful?
But here, at this time, the lyrics of the Song of the Yangtze River have not yet appeared.
It's okay if Cao Zhiqiang didn't meet him. Now that he met him here, how about getting some benefits from it and plagiarizing the song in advance and making it his own? Would he be worthy of his status as a time traveler?
Of course, in addition to coveting the original lyrics rights of "Song of the Yangtze River", Cao Zhiqiang's thinking has been extended and he has begun to have thoughts about Masashi Sada.
Yes, Masashi Sada is indeed in dire straits now, but before, he was a rich second-generation singer famous for his talent, and his reputation was not small.
But just because he filmed a documentary, Masashi Sada was heavily in debt. As a result, Masashi Sada and his family did not benefit from the documentary, but it benefited CCTV.
Although Masashi Sada's father is said to be a Japanese invader who once invaded China, Masashi Sada himself is a full-fledged anti-war person and has no feelings for the country.
It seems that before Cao Zhiqiang traveled through time, Masashi Sada had always been among the people who practiced Sino-Japanese friendship and was one of the rare Japanese friends.
In short, in Cao Zhiqiang's view, Masashi Sada, who is now heavily in debt, is a real bargain.
Why do you say that?
Because Cao Zhiqiang can enter the Japanese music scene at this time through Masashi Sada and reap wealth from the Japanese market.
You know, in the early 1980s, Japan was at its peak. It was the most powerful period for Japan after the war.
Thanks to its strong economy, the Japanese entertainment industry at this time, especially the Japanese music scene, occupies a dominant position in the Asian circle.
Many popular songs in Hong Kong and Taiwan at this time were basically plagiarized Japanese songs, such as "Declaration of Manhood", "I Only Care About You" and so on.
At the same time, although the country has a large population and the domestic Chinese music scene is still a blue ocean, the per capita income here is also low, and the awareness of copyright protection is also poor.
So in the Asian music scene during this period, if you really want to make money, you have to look to Japan.
Cao Zhiqiang still remembers that he once read an article in his previous life that analyzed the prices of records in various parts of Asia in the 1980s and 1990s.
In the late 1980s, the average price of an original single recording tape sung by a famous domestic singer was only ten yuan a box, and the album was only about twelve yuan, not more than fifteen yuan.
At the same time, in Hong Kong and Taiwan, the price of a single recording tape was about 50 Hong Kong dollars per box, which was equivalent to about 20 yuan per box in RMB at that time, which was basically twice the price in mainland China.
Audio tapes in Hong Kong and Taiwan were expensive enough in the 1980s. So how much did a box of audio tapes cost in Japan in the 1980s?
The answer is that in the 1980s, the average price of a single tape in Japan was about 1,500 yen, and the price of an album tape was generally around 5,000 yen.
In the 1980s, before the Plaza Accord, the exchange rate of the RMB against the Japanese yen was around 1:17.
In other words, if the same music tape is sold for 10 yuan in mainland China, it will be 88 yuan per tape in Japan.
In addition, you can make much more money by holding a concert in Japan than in China.
Cao Zhiqiang has relied on system plug-ins to become proficient, have a golden voice, top guitar performance, top harmonica performance, top accordion performance, and a selection of 30,000 modern pop songs.
With such a combination of talents, skills and music scores, if he doesn't take the opportunity to make a fortune in Japan, he will not only waste his wealth, but also commit a crime.
However, the problem is that Cao Zhiqiang is now Chinese. Due to his national conditions and identity, it is very difficult for him to go abroad to Japan at this time. If he is not careful, he will be regarded as treason.
Therefore, he needs an introduction, or a partner with Japanese identity, to lead him to extend his tentacles into Japan.
Just like Lou Xiao'e, who can help herself extend her tentacles into Hong Kong.
Obviously, Brother Masashi Sada, a well-known Japanese singer who has a good impression of China and is heavily in debt, is his best prey.
Therefore, in Cao Zhiqiang's eyes, Masashi Sada at this time is not a neon friend at all, he is clearly a Qin Yiren living in Zhao State!
To a certain extent, the value of Masashi Sada is far greater than that of "Song of the Yangtze River".
Since he is a rare commodity, of course you should take advantage of his illness, nay, his downfall, to become good friends with him as soon as possible!
