Traveling through the Tokyo bubble era

Chapter 769 Return to Tokyo
Due to the large scale of the filming of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", in addition to the chief director Wang Fulin, the director team actually includes five other directors in charge of the filming.

The director in charge of casting today is Cai Xiaoqing, the only female director among the five directors.

In his previous life, Hanyu Hideki once read an interview with director Wang Fulin, in which he commented on Cai Xiaoqing as having a "delicate and dignified creative style."

Director Cai requires actors to not only be familiar with the original work, but also have an understanding of folk art including opera, storytelling, and comic strips.

In restoring the shooting details, the art props team was required to use museums, cultural relics, and portrait bricks as the basis and to restore the depth of history through various scenes.

After these days of contact, Hanyu Hideki has witnessed with his own eyes how hard the other party works and how she is just as capable as any man.

It is this working attitude of the older generation of artists that makes her have a high prestige in the crew despite being a woman.

This is also the reason why those people would not dare to run over to take a peek even if they heard there was a beautiful girl.

However, although others are afraid, Hideki Hanyu, a non-staff member, doesn't care.

He carried a large teacup and walked into the director's work area with familiarity.

"Morning, Mr. Hanyu."

"Have you had breakfast, sir?"

"You are here to see Director Wang again, right?"

……

Hearing the cordial greeting in his ears, Hanyu Hideki's eyes were already looking around imperceptibly.

What those people said turned out to be true. Today, a lot of girls came to the director's site, and each of them looked very young.

Some were talking together, some were reading books, and some were silent...

Hideki Hanyu passed by these girls and after looking at them, he didn't see any familiar faces.

Soon, he arrived at the office where several directors were.

But before Hanyu Hideki could say hello, Director Wang called Hanyu Hideki first.

"I don't think you can stay in the filming crew for many days, sir."

"What do you mean, Director Wang?" Hanyu Hideki asked as he sat next to Director Wang.

Director Wang replied, "I heard from the headquarters that the investment will be finalized in the next two days. If that's the case, you should leave now."

Hanyu Hideki nodded and said, "The contract is almost settled."

He has been enjoying himself on the set in recent days, but Yasui Yosuke, Zhou Wenqiong, and the staff of Yunshang Entertainment have been discussing cooperation with the central station.

Considering today's policies and other issues, some things are easier said than done, and require careful attention to details.

However, in the situation where "the man has feelings and the woman is willing", it is indeed as Wang Dao said, and it is basically settled now.

I met Yasui Yosuke at the hotel in the morning. He had even booked a flight back to Pengcheng the day after tomorrow, which proved that the deal would be done in the next two days.

Once the deal was done there, he would have no reason to stay on the crew, which was why Director Wang suddenly said this to him.

After all, no matter how relaxed he is in the crew or how well he integrates into the group, the issue of his identity cannot be changed.

In fact, it is impossible for him to always use the country as a safe haven.

After all, he is not the same person he was in his previous life.

In his new life, there are still many things waiting for him to accomplish.

Thinking of this, he sighed and said, "Actually, I came here now to tell Director Wang that I will leave after things are settled in the next two days."

When Wang Dao heard this, a look of regret immediately appeared on his face.

"Thinking about the gentleman's departure, I actually felt a little empty inside.

After spending these few days together, I've actually gotten used to my husband being in the film crew.

But since the gentleman is leaving, let's hold a farewell party for him today."

Hanyu Hideki quickly refused, "No, no, everyone is so busy with work, there is no need to waste time on me."

Director Wang insisted, "How can this be called a waste of time? He has been helping the crew a lot these past few days, so it is only right that we say farewell to him."

Hanyu Hideki declined again and again, but Director Wang insisted again and again.

Seeing that he couldn't get the better of the situation, Hanyu Hideki finally said, "How about this, after work this afternoon, I will treat everyone in the crew to a meal."

Seeing that Director Wang was about to say something, Hanyu Hideki quickly raised his hand to interrupt him, "Director Wang, it's settled. You know my status, there's no need to save me this little money."

"Then I'll listen to you, sir." Director Wang no longer insisted.

In the past few days, Hideki Hanyu has been keeping a low profile in the crew, but he is very capable at work, so everyone can get along well with him and almost forget about his super-rich identity.

At this point, Hanyu Hideki remembered why he came here and asked in a nonchalant manner.

"Director Wang, I see a lot of girls outside. Which role are you selecting actors for?"

"You're talking about this. We don't actually decide on a specific role. We'll look at it based on the actor's wishes first, and then determine the role based on their performance in the end."

After listening to Director Wang's explanation, Hanyu Hideki seemed to understand, "So that's how it is."

Director Wang added, "Director Cai is in charge of the casting today. If you are interested, you can go and have a look."

When Hanyu Hideki heard this, he decisively borrowed the donkey to go down the slope, and said, "Then I will go and observe."

With an excuse, Hanyu Hideki immediately went to Director Cai’s casting office to “visit and learn”.

But he went there with great interest.

But in the end, he couldn't even last an hour and left in boredom.

Because the casting process is so boring.

The most important thing is that for more than an hour, he didn't see a single familiar face again.

Moreover, the casting interview process was completely different from what he had expected: "No, change another group." It was meaningless.

During the chat with Director Cai, he found out that many important roles were not decided just now, and the current casting was just a reference.

Seeing that his idea of ​​looking at a familiar beauty was dashed and the casting was so boring, Hanyu Hideki naturally retreated early.

It was afternoon in a blink of an eye.

At the invitation of Director Wang, all the crew members came to the hotel arranged by Hanyu Hideki.

When talking about this being a farewell party for Hideki Hanyu, the crew members felt a little sad for a moment.

This is not because of Hideki Hanyu's identity.

But in the past few days, Hideki Hanyu has indeed used his own abilities to make everyone recognize him and be convinced of him.

Chief Art Designer Mr. He Baotong, in particular, held up his glass and said with emotion, "Since Mr. He joined the team, the level and efficiency of our art painting work have improved. I really don't want him to leave."

When Director Wang Fulin heard this, he immediately laughed and scolded in annoyance.

"Old He, you're wishful thinking. Mr. Hanyu is an internationally renowned artist. It would be strange if his level was not high. You should be content that he can help us for so many days."

He Baotong said, "I am just expressing my feelings, how could I not know Mr. Hanyu's situation.

Speaking of which, there is an interesting story. One of my students who was studying abroad heard that Mr. Hanyu was helping the crew and insisted that I get him a copy of his painting manuscript.

I was wondering why he wanted Mr.'s manuscripts, but he told me that any of Mr.'s manuscripts could be sold for hundreds of thousands of dollars overseas.

As soon as He Baotong said this, the people who came to the farewell party were immediately excited.

Discussions suddenly broke out.

"real or fake?"

"I went to the art department to clean up a few days ago, and I saw quite a few of Mr. Hanyu's drawings."

"You just saw that I threw away a lot of them as garbage myself."

……

Hanyu Hideki could feel the regretful tone of the person who spoke last even from a distance.

He smiled helplessly and wanted to explain that although his drawings could be sold, not every one of them was valuable.

First of all, it must be confirmed to be his drawing, either publicly acknowledged by him or with his signature, and it must also be a drawing of a work of significant significance.

As for other things, such as the work drawings he made in the past few days for the crew of Romance of the Three Kingdoms, they naturally have no commercial value.

It took a long time for the discussion about his drawings to subside.

In the end, Hideki Hanyu did not explain anything, but just said goodbye to everyone with a glass of wine.

Then, he was targeted by Zhou Wenqiong who arrived halfway.

Zhou Wenqiong said with concern, "Brother-in-law, my sister asked me to watch you. You can't drink too much in China."

Upon hearing this, Hanyu Hideki tapped his sister-in-law's head in dissatisfaction and said, "You little girl, you still care about me."

After saying that, he took the wine and went to find the table where Director Cai Xiaoqing was.

As a result, after chatting with Director Cai for a few words, Director Cai pulled a young girl next to him and introduced her to me.

"Mr. Hanyu, this is Zhao Yue. She entered the industry when she filmed my TV series Wasted Years. She won the Feitian Award at the age of 16. She is considered my student."

Although Liu Yue is not a great beauty judging from her appearance, Hanyu Hideki was quite impressed by her.

Because she is the actress who played Sun Shangxiang, a heroic, knowledgeable, and versatile woman in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

In the future, no matter which video platform is used, whenever there is a comparison between different actors who played Sun Shangxiang, Zhao Yue always occupies the C position.

"Hello, Miss Zhao." Hanyu Hideki greeted her and asked Cai Xiaoqing, "Does Director Cai plan to let Miss Zhao participate in the Three Kingdoms?"

But Director Cai said helplessly, "I would like her to play a role, but she has already decided to go to America this month to study abroad."

"I see."

Hideki Hanyu was not surprised by this.

After all, in this era, the country has not yet developed, and it is not a new thing that everyone who has the opportunity wants to go abroad.

But according to the memory of her previous life, Zhao Yue later returned to China to film Romance of the Three Kingdoms and played the role of Sun Shangxiang. It is obvious that she did not make it in America.

Of course, this is also the outcome for most people who go abroad during this period.

The times create opportunities. It may seem that you are one step ahead of others, but in fact you have missed the best opportunity for development. Most people only realize this when they look back.

Thinking this way, Hanyu Hideki couldn't help but chat with the two of them for a few more words.

Then when he returned to his table, he was caught by his sister-in-law and started to grumble under his breath.

"Why did my brother-in-law spend so much time chatting at that table? Is it because she's pretty? No wonder my brother-in-law is more enthusiastic towards her than towards me."

Hearing Zhou Wenqiong's sour tone, Hanyu Hideki explained with a smile, "Don't talk nonsense, that's Director Cai's student."

"I know her. She won the Feitian Award for Best Supporting Actress, right? Brother-in-law, don't forget that I also worked at the Pearl Film Studio before."

Zhou Wenqiong said, her tone became sad again, "I have been working hard at the headquarters to help my brother-in-law negotiate cooperation these days, but my brother-in-law hid in the filming crew to meet the Feitian Award actress."

"You're talking nonsense again. I see you..."

Hanyu Hideki was just planning to give Zhou Wenqiong a slap on the head when someone from the film crew came up to him and toasted him, so Hanyu Hideki had to stand up to respond.

As a result, he couldn't stop the socializing and completely forgot about Zhou Wenqiong.

He did not notice that because of his "neglect", his sister-in-law picked up the wine glass with a look of grievance on her face and drank one glass after another.

The farewell party ended only when it got dark outside.

Because the dining place was not far from the hotel where Hideki Hanyu lived, after saying goodbye to everyone, Hideki Hanyu simply did not take a car but walked back.

The nights in old Yanjing in July were not as colorful and prosperous as those in later generations, nor as lively as those in later generations.

But that special atmosphere that belongs only to this time is difficult to replace by any prosperity in later generations.

"Ouch!"

Just as Hanyu Hideki was watching a group of children rolling hoops past him with a nostalgic smile on his face, a painful cry was heard beside him.

He turned around and found that Zhou Wenqiong was sitting on the ground holding her ankle. It was obvious that she had sprained her ankle while walking.

"I told you and Iwaya Maki to take the bus back first, but you insisted on walking with me in your high heels."

As Hanyu Hideki was speaking, he bent down to help Zhou Wenqiong up. As soon as he approached, he smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

Then look at the other person's blushing face.

Hanyu Hideki, who was helping Zhou Wenqiong up, complained, "It's no wonder she sprained her ankle after wearing high heels and drinking so much."

"I walked just to accompany you, my brother-in-law. And I was injured, but you still criticized me. You really don't know how to be gentle with women."

After hearing Zhou Wenqiong's words, Hanyu Hideki helped her walk while teasing her.

"Being gentle and considerate to women is what your boyfriend should do.

Oh, I almost forgot, Xiao Qiong, you don’t have a boyfriend. Could it be that after protecting the country for so long, no one has pursued you? "

After hearing what Hanyu Hideki said, Zhou Wenqiong immediately retorted unconvincedly, "Who said no one is pursuing me, it's just... it's just..."

Zhou Wenqiong looked at Hanyu Hideki's profile and was speechless for a moment.

Because it was a handsome face that could not be ignored even with the rustic black-framed glasses.

Zhou Wenqiong was afraid that after she said something, she would see a sad expression on this face.

But Hanyu Hideki didn't care, and took advantage of Zhou Wenqiong's stuttering to tease her again, "You can't say it, I see no one is chasing you, do you want me to introduce you to..."

Before Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, Zhou Wenqiong interrupted him impatiently, "Don't... Ouch."

It seemed that she was in a hurry to speak and didn't pay attention to how she walked. Zhou Wenqiong just said "ouch" when she said "rejection". The foot that had been sprained just now twisted again.

After being injured twice in the same position, Zhou Wenqiong's body shook and he could no longer stand, and he fell to the side.

Fortunately, Hanyu Hideki was prepared this time. He quickly grabbed Zhou Wenqiong's waist and prevented her from falling to the ground.

Feeling the plumpness of Zhou Wenqiong's waist, Hanyu Hideki deliberately teased, "Has Xiaoqiong gained weight after returning to China? I almost couldn't hold her."

"How am I fat? Obviously... Ouch!"

Zhou Wenqiong's rebuttal was interrupted by a cry of pain.

Hanyu Hideki lowered his head to check and saw that the girl had a painful expression on her face. Her foot had been sprained again and she could no longer stand on one leg.

Seeing Zhou Wenqiong in this state, Hanyu Hideki didn't have the heart to tease her anymore.

He asked with concern, "How is it? Did you hurt any bones?"

Zhou Wenqiong shook his head, "I don't know either."

"Then let's go to the hospital. There's one next to the hotel."

After Hanyu Hideki finished speaking, he half-knelt down in front of Zhou Wenqiong.

Zhou Wenqiong asked blankly, "Brother-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Of course I carried you on my back. I'm not going to see you hopping on one leg to go to the hospital." Hanyu Hideki said helplessly.

"Um……"

When Zhou Wenqiong heard that Hanyu Hideki wanted to carry her, her pretty face turned red for some reason and she agreed in a gentle voice.

The next moment, Zhou Wenqiong pounced forward and climbed onto Hanyu Hideki's back.

Hanyu Hideki easily exerted force, stood up with Zhou Wenqiong on his back, and strode towards the hospital.

As if to ease the atmosphere, Hanyu Hideki deliberately said, "Xiao Qiong doesn't feel heavy when I carry her on my back. It seems that I was wrong when I said you were fat just now."

But after he finished speaking, Zhou Wenqiong, who was usually sharp-tongued, just nodded lightly again and said nothing else.

As for why this is the case...

In the middle of summer, Hideki Hanyu was only wearing a thin white shirt.

Zhou Wenqiong wore a blue dress, the fabric of which was also thin and breathable.

If you just look at them, there is of course no end to their clothes.

But at this time, Zhou Wenqiong was carried on Hanyu Hideki's back, and was very close to Hanyu Hideki. Although the cloth could play a certain barrier role, it could not completely block the feeling.

Therefore, when Zhou Wenqiong's chest felt Hanyu Hideki's broad, solid, hot and powerful back, Zhou Wenqiong, who already admired Hanyu Hideki, immediately became confused and had all kinds of random thoughts, so how could she say any complete words?

Soon, Hideki Hanyu also noticed something strange about Zhou Wenqiong.

And compared to Zhou Wenqiong, he actually felt more uncomfortable at this moment.

After all, Zhou Wenqiong's figure is that of a voluptuous type.

At this time, he not only carried the other person on his back, but in order to prevent the other person from falling, he also held the other person's smooth legs with both hands, which was definitely a double stimulation.

During this time in China, he actively integrated himself into his work and was distracted so that he did not care about matters between men and women, and he lived a simple "abstinence" life.

But not burning fire does not mean that fire does not exist.

At this moment, he felt as if the fire that he had been ignoring was rekindled.

In order to prevent his body's restlessness from getting worse, he could only keep talking to Zhou Wenqiong, whether it was about work or interesting things, as long as it could distract his attention.

Fortunately, the place they were just at was not far from the hospital. Hanyu Hideki quickened his pace and soon arrived at the night clinic.

After finding a chair to put Zhou Wenqiong down, Hanyu Hideki immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

However, after the doctor examined her and said it was only a minor sprain and no medicine was needed, Hanyu Hideki, who had finally breathed a sigh of relief, found that he had to carry Zhou Wenqiong back to the hotel.

When Zhou Wenqiong climbed on his back again, Hanyu Hideki clearly felt that when he put his arms around her legs, Zhou Wenqiong's body trembled noticeably.

Then, on the short way back to the hotel, neither of them spoke, and the atmosphere between them became a little strange for a moment.

In this way, Hideki Hanyu carried Zhou Wenqiong back to the hotel room.

Putting Zhou Wenqiong down, Hanyu Hideki turned around and supported her, "I'm going back now, you should also go to bed early."

After saying this, he didn't want to resist making a mistake, so he planned to leave quickly.

But thinking of the other person's foot injury, he couldn't help but ask with concern, "Is your foot okay alone?"

What Hanyu Hideki didn't expect was that in the face of his concern, Zhou Wenqiong, who had been taciturn before, looked at him and said, "If I say it's related, will my brother-in-law stay with me?"

Looking at Zhou Wenqiong, who was looking at him with burning eyes while speaking.

Hideki Hanyu easily saw through the other person's thoughts. After all, there were too many girls who looked at him like that.

But whether for his eldest daughter or her mother, reason told him that he could not let his relationship with Zhou Wenqiong deteriorate.

He could also be sure that he had no feelings for Zhou Wenqiong, and if anything really happened, it could only be due to desire.

This is very unfair to Zhou Wenqiong.

Thinking of this, Hideki Hanyu decided to persuade the other party.

"Xiao Qiong...be careful!"

But just as he started to persuade her, he saw Zhou Wenqiong suddenly fall towards him.

Hideki Hanyu thought that it was a foot injury that caused him to lose his balance, so while saying "be careful", he quickly put out his hands to support Zhou Wenqiong.

But the next moment when he held Zhou Wenqiong with both hands, the girl suddenly looked up, hooked her hands around his neck and pulled hard, then kissed him directly with her lips.

The moment he felt the touch of lips, Hanyu Hideki's mind suddenly stirred, and the desire that he had been trying so hard to suppress was instantly ignited.

A moment later, when Hanyu Hideki carried Zhou Wenqiong to the sofa in the suite, he struggled to separate himself and Zhou Wenqiong.

Looking at Zhou Wenqiong whose clothes were in disarray because of his mischievous hands.

He suppressed his emotions and said, "Xiao Qiong, you are injured. Let me take care of the station tomorrow. Have a good rest. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the room without caring about Zhou Wenqiong's reaction.

But before he went out, he heard a voice coming from behind.

"You obviously have feelings for me, why did you accept so many others but not me?"

……

August 5th.

Zhou Wenqiong, whose ankle sprain has recovered to the point where she can walk simply, waited at the hotel for the helper Masaki Iwatani arranged by Hanyu Hideki.

Iwaya Masaki told Zhou Wenqiong a piece of news.

"Ms. Zhou, we have already discussed all the issues with the headquarters. The crew of Romance of the Three Kingdoms is still preparing. It is definitely impossible to start filming this year, so let's go back to the south to continue our previous work. I am worried that no one will be watching over the crew in Shanghai."

At this time, Zhou Wenqiong stared blankly out the window. Not only did he not answer Iwaya Masaki's words, but he asked an irrelevant question instead.

"Zhenqi, where is my brother-in-law? Why hasn't he come back?"

Iwaya Masaki asked in confusion, "President Hanyu left China by plane this morning. Didn't he tell you?"

"He's gone?" Zhou Wenqiong turned around and asked, "Where did he go?"

Iwaya Masaki spread his hands helplessly, "President Hanyu is my boss, how dare I ask about his whereabouts casually."

After hearing this answer, Zhou Wenqiong fell into silence.

Iwaya Masaki might have noticed something, but this was not something she could get involved in.

After a long while, Zhou Wenqiong suddenly spoke.

"Zhenqi, please help me arrange a visa to America, and then help me book a flight to Los Angeles, the sooner the better.

As for the work in China, I will leave it to you for the time being."
-
Just when Zhou Wenqiong decided to go to Los Angeles, the "Elf" that Hideki Hanyu was on landed at Tokyo Haneda International Airport.

He left the VIP channel quietly and got into Marco's Rolls-Royce.

The co-pilot's assistant, Tomoe Ishihara, reported something to him.

"Teacher Hanyu, Qianye Xun sent a message this morning saying that the Miss Wang Zhuxian you arranged has now arrived in Canada safely, accompanied by Qianye."

"I see."

After answering, Hideki Hanyu couldn't help but complain in his heart, how come after changing time and space, this woman still chose Canada in the end.

It seems that the other party can't get rid of the title of Canadian grocery shopping woman even in this time and space.

After complaining in his heart, Hanyu Hideki immediately put Wang Zuxian out of his mind and began to think about his next arrangements in Tokyo.

The reason why he chose this time to return to Tokyo was because the thing that he and Yutaro Hatoyama and other forces had worked together to promote was finally accomplished yesterday.

Affected by the Recruit bribery case, Neon Telephone Co., Ltd. was vigorously investigated. Not only were many company executives taken away, but also important members of the Prime Minister's faction were implicated.

Due to the instigation of many forces, the current Prime Minister of Neon finally announced yesterday morning that he had officially started the resignation process just two months after taking office.

This is the third Japanese Prime Minister who has voluntarily resigned from his post due to the impact of the Recruit bribery case since it broke out.

The short-lived power vacuum at the top has been targeted by many people who were prepared in advance.

Even though everyone understood that before the Recruit bribery case was completely resolved, sitting in that position would be hotly contested and might lead to the same fate as the three predecessors.

However, the temptation of supreme power still makes many people want to fight for it regardless of their own safety.

And the reason why Hideki Hanyu returned to Tokyo this time was to pour some cold water on some people in his power, so that these guys could calm down and not be so reckless.

Thinking of this, he asked Chiba Xun, who was sitting in the passenger seat.

"Has the invitation list for my brother's wedding been drawn up?"

Ishihara Chie said, "Okay, Mr. Hanyu, do you want to watch it now?"

Hanyu Hideki replied, "Not now, let's talk about it when we get back to the Yorozuya."

On the 21st of this month, which is two weeks later.

His younger brother Hidetoshi Hanyu and Yumi Watanabe will hold a formal wedding ceremony in Miyagi Prefecture at the time agreed upon when they got engaged.

By then, the dust from the storm in Tokyo will probably have settled.

It was convenient for him to use the wedding as an opportunity to invite everyone over for a good chat.

Of course he hopes his people will stay calm.

But being calm does not affect his ability to get his share of the cake.
