Before he finished speaking, he saw a group of people coming out of the cultural center. They stood at the entrance and glanced around for a while. Then, following the staff's reminder, their eyes lit up and they quickly headed this way. Come.
People heard his voice before he arrived, it was hearty laughter.
"Hahahaha, good afternoon everyone in Nogizaka. I am the director of this cultural center and one of the organizers of this conference. Please take care of me."
Chuan Jingai was stunned, wasn't he? He really got it right! Did the organizer really come out to greet us in person? This is too outrageous!
Others may not know it, but he knows that he is not just the director of a cultural center. His influence and status are so deep-rooted in Akita that it is hard to imagine! To be able to get such a big shot to come out and greet you in person, it's not enough just to be rich and powerful. At least you have to make people really respect you and respect you. That's the most important thing!
But these... seem to have nothing to do with us, right? How did Baiyun Sang do it!
Not only Sichuan Jingai, but the surrounding people who eat melons are also shocked and silent. Unlike the former, they are still outsiders after all. Nowadays, the people in the nearby circle are basically locals or are relatively familiar with such cultural activities. The target is naturally more aware of what a rare scene this is!
Even the curator, who usually never sees the dragon, came out. This is an extremely rare sight! Besides, the person next to him should be Satake-san, right? What, you don’t know who Satake-san is? You should know about the Akita County Governor, right? He is his nephew! Now you should understand how heavy it is, right?
The few people following us also look familiar. If we take a closer look, aren't they the same great writers we usually see on TV media? You were invited to participate in this event, right? Why did you come out with him, and he seemed so enthusiastic? Who did you come out to greet? Who has such a big reputation to let such a group of people come out to greet them in person? It’s incredible!
"Ah...Good afternoon Mr. Curator, one or two, we are Nogizaka46——"
Fortunately, although the little idols were also surprised, firstly, because they didn’t quite understand what kind of big bosses the people in front of them were, and secondly, they seemed to be very easy-going, so they quickly reacted and shouted neatly. Bowing down to say hello with slogans——
"Okay, okay."
The curator naturally spoke in an easy-going manner, showing a kind smile. He glanced at the little idols in front of him, then pondered for a moment, exchanged glances with his friends next to him, and asked: "Whose name is... .Ikoma Rina——"
Ikoma Rina was startled when she heard this, and quickly raised her hand: "Ah, it's me——"
"Ah hahaha, Ikoma, it turns out you have grown so big, no wonder I can't recognize you-" The old man was not embarrassed, he smiled and said kindly in a very natural way: "Maybe you don't know, I hugged you when you were one month old, but your father's generation still called me teacher!"
"Eh~ Really? There is still such a thing! Sorry for being rude——"
The innocent girl naturally did not doubt his presence, her eyes widened in surprise, and she quickly bent down and bowed.
"Hahaha, no need. I came out this time to invite you in. The haiku you wrote are all excellent, and the teachers behind me also appreciate them! These are all your friends, right? Nogizaka 46 , I have heard of this idol group. It was created by Akimoto-san. The last time I saw him was when we had dinner together in Tokyo. Time flies so fast——"
As the old man spoke, he naturally invited the little idols in, and by the way, he was nostalgic about the past days. Fortunately, Rina Ikoma responded quickly and quickly added: "Ah, Mr. Curator, we are here this time I’m here to promote Akita, so can you let other Staff-san besides the four of us come in with you? Although this request is a bit abrupt, I’m very sorry, but I’d like to ask——”
"Please~"
With that said, the little idols bowed in perfect harmony as if they had rehearsed.
"Propaganda? Of course there is no problem." Fortunately, the old man was very generous. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and said: "Our cultural conference this time has invited major TV stations in Akita and surrounding counties, and the reporters who interviewed have already Here, if you want to come to Akita to promote, of course there is no better place than here——"
"Ah, thank you~"
The little idols suddenly showed surprises and thanked them repeatedly. Even the accompanying staff and Chuan Jingai breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that they could finally go in for promotion. Now that they had this event as a springboard, not only could the promotion be left Spending a large amount of money, the effect will definitely be much higher than before——
But at this moment, the old man suddenly changed the topic, showed a planning smile and said: "But since I agreed to your request, can you also agree to my request?"
"What request?"
The girls were all stunned. Only Baiyunshan realized something. He glanced slightly, and sure enough, he saw Satake and a few others who were silent next to them. They were constantly looking at their group, obviously looking for something, subconsciously. He nodded lightly and felt clear inside.
The old man smiled and said kindly: "Can you please write another haiku, one per person? Just think of it as a small request from me, an old man. How about you, your level of writing haiku is so high that you won't refuse. Is this my only request?"
"Uh...this-"
Haiku or something like that, they wouldn't be able to write it if they really wanted to... The girls were immediately in a dilemma, with obvious hesitation on their faces. They subconsciously looked at the backbone behind them, Bai Yun, who had been silent all this time. Mountain.
It was this glance that made the old man and others lock their target instantly, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
I saw Satake standing next to him immediately, with a smile on his face, reaching out to him enthusiastically: "My name is Satake, may I ask who you are -"
"My name is Baiyunshan."
Baiyunshan calmly shook hands with him, and then glanced at the girls who didn't know they had betrayed him unknowingly. He sighed helplessly, thinking to himself that these old foxes were not easy to deal with, and he was eventually exposed. Okay... So he said bluntly: "Um, I'm very sorry, I am Ikoma-san's and the others' manager. Just now Ikoma-san and the others wrote too many haiku, and it was a little nerve-wracking for a moment. It might be a little uncomfortable to write it again right away. Reluctantly, I wonder if you can let me do it for you?"
Satake was thinking about the name Baiyun Mountain in his mind, and exchanged glances with the writers behind him. He didn't seem to know the origin of the young man in front of him. Suddenly he heard the other person's question, and he immediately understood that the other person was indeed a smart man. So he stopped beating around the bush and nodded with a smile: "Of course it's no problem, Baiyun-sang, please do it-"
"Thanks."
Baiyunshan nodded slightly, then took out the last haiku he had just written and handed it to the other party.
Everyone looked at each other, and Satake was also stunned for a while. He pondered for a moment and reminded: "This...I'm sorry, isn't this just one article?"
"This one is worthy of the previous four. I think Satake-san and everyone behind you will probably understand after reading it."
Baiyunshan spoke in an understatement, without emphasizing anything in particular, but his silent confidence already emerged spontaneously.
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
Not only were Satake and the others in front of him were surprised, but even the melon-eating crowd who had been observing silently and curiously were in an uproar at this time. They all felt that the young man in front of them was a little too confident, right? This is simply arrogant. One piece is worth four articles? And you said you would understand after reading it? What kind of good works have you not seen from Satake-san and others? You may have some talent, but to be so confident in the haiku you write is too arrogant!
The writers couldn't help but look at each other, and they all saw amusement and a hint of disbelief in each other's eyes.
After all, they have seen the previous haiku pieces with their own eyes. The level of each piece is so high that it can almost be included in the classic haiku textbooks. When you start, you say that this piece of yours is worthy of the previous four, and your tone is very good. too big! As long as you are a normal person, it is impossible to believe it!
"It's too exaggerated. It's understandable if the writing is good, but one article is worth four. Who does he think he is? The god of haiku?"
"It's a good thing for young people to be a little arrogant, but being too proud is not good. I admit that the haiku he wrote earlier are all excellent, but excellence is one thing, and blind confidence is another."
"Actually, in my opinion, the previous ones may not have been written by him, right? Seeing as he is so young, not much older than those idols, how can he have such ability? I still have some doubts -"
There was gradually a murmur of discussion around him, obviously filled with doubts and disdain. However, Baiyunshan didn't explain much. He just stretched out his hand slightly and signaled Satake, who was holding the haiku, to start.
Satake hesitated for a moment. He didn't believe that the other party could really write such a haiku worth four chapters. However, since the young man was so determined and confident, he had no reason to refuse. After all, young people always have to frustrate their edge, and it is not good to have too much edge... So I made up my mind, slowly opened it, looked at the words on it, and started reading.
"The world of dew, the world of dew, the world of dew - (I know that this world is as short-lived as dew, but, but -)"
A very short sentence, more like an unfinished poem than a haiku.
However, it is such a simple and concise sentence that actually presents a variety of far-reaching meanings. At first glance, it sounds unfinished, but if you chew it carefully, you feel that all the meanings have been completed.
If you want to talk about it, it’s time to stop. If you want to talk about it, it’s time to stop. The unfinished ending is actually a kind of ending.
I know this world is as fleeting as dew, but, yet—
The beauty and emotion of the language at this moment moved everyone present. Even if they have different understandings of this sentence due to different experiences and identities, for haiku and poetry, sometimes, as long as It's enough to feel it.
Feeling is resonance!
The scene was completely silent. Anyone who could understand some in-depth works would be directly and powerfully impacted by this short sentence. After a moment, the dead silence was replaced by applause, and the roaring applause resounded through the sky and lasted for a long time!
Many people felt the resonance and charm brought by literary works for the first time, and were so excited that they couldn't help themselves. Even the writers who were obviously disbelieving and questioning just now were shocked, and they couldn't help but indulge in the haiku they just heard. He extricated himself and thought about the beauty of it. The more he thought about it, the more surprised he became. Strong admiration appeared on his face uncontrollably!
"Seconds!"
“One article like this can indeed be said to be worth four!”
"This kind of haiku, even if you have not studied haiku specifically, you can still understand the beauty of it. This is the true appreciation of both refined and popular people!"
Satake, who recited it himself, was also overjoyed and looked at his friends next to him. They both saw the surprise and could not help but nod vigorously in praise: "This is just one sentence, worth a thousand pieces of gold!"
