Chapter 301: Fake News Exists All over the World
The hotel where Zhou Yan and the others stayed was the same as the one at the production center.
As soon as he arrived at the door, he met Li Yiding walking out with another middle-aged woman.
"Zhou Yan, you are here."
"Well, we just arrived, are you going out?"
"Yes, I have nothing to do in the afternoon. I'm going out for a walk with Captain Fang." Li Yiding introduced the woman next to Zhou Yan, "This is Fang Qin, the leader of the Broadcasting Chorus."
"Hello, Captain Fang."
"Hello, hello, Teacher Zhou, I've admired your name for a long time. I was chatting with Yiding just now. I didn't expect you to be so popular in Neon now. I've heard your music several times in the past two days."
"Captain Fang is overly flattering." Zhou Yan smiled and asked, "Are you just going out? Without a translator?"
Li Yiding smiled and said, "You don't know this. Captain Fang studied in Neon for two years in his early years and is very proficient in Neon language."
Fang Qin said modestly, "Proficiency is not enough, normal communication is no problem, and there are many Chinese characters in Neon, so traveling will not be too difficult."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, I won't waste your time."
"Okay, you just arrived, go and settle down in the room."
After checking in, Zhou Yan stayed in the room for a while and then went out.
Although he doesn't speak neon, it doesn't affect his travels because he also has a tour guide.
This Three Kingdoms themed concert in Tokyo was held at the NHK Concert Hall, and the hotel they stayed in was also near NHK.
Zhou Yan came out of the hotel and arrived at the entrance of the concert hall within a short walk.
As soon as he arrived at the entrance of the concert hall, he saw Kudo Shizuka in sailor uniform waving to him.
When he got a few steps closer, Kudo Shizuka rushed up and hugged him. The height difference between the two was obvious. Kudo Shizuka had to stand on tiptoes to wrap her arms around Zhou Yan's neck.
Jingxiang leaned against Zhou Yan and asked softly, "Do you miss me?"
"Think about it." Zhou Yan held Shizuka's waist, lifted it up, and said with a smile, "I have lost weight again recently."
"I've been eating irregularly lately." Shizuka Kudo muttered.
This is the difference between a body that is prone to losing weight and a body that is prone to gaining weight. Both are caused by irregular diet. The former will become thinner, while the latter will become fatter.
In addition, the eating habits here in Neon are less likely to lead to obesity. People here eat very little, especially girls, who all have small stomachs.
"Are you very busy at work recently?"
"Well, they are all TV shows and concerts. I just appeared on a show yesterday."
"Do you happen to have time these two days?"
"Because I knew you were coming in advance, I postponed some less important activities."
"Well, it's time to take a rest. Where should we go now?"
"Let's go shopping on Center Street, it's not far from here."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Okay, I'll listen to you. You will be my tour guide today."
Kudo Shizuka tilted her head and said playfully, "I am a tour guide, but it is very expensive. Mr. Zhou, you have to watch your pocket."
Zhou Yan turned his pants cuffs inside out and said pitifully, "What should I do? I didn't bring a dime with me when I went out."
Kudo Shizuka said with a smile, "It doesn't matter, I will take care of you today."
"That will cost you money."
The two held hands and walked forward. When they passed a large banner, Shizuka Kudo pointed at the words on it and asked Zhou Yan, "Do you know what is written on it?"
Zhou Yan looked up and then said, "It should be the announcement of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms concert, and there is someone to welcome me."
Kudo Shizuka curled her lips, "Actually, you don't need me as a tour guide. You can go shopping in Tokyo by yourself."
There are many Chinese characters on this banner, and they are all key information, such as "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and "Zhou Yan". It is easy to guess the meaning.
…
For Zhou Yan, there is not much to see in Shibuya during the day, it is just a relatively crowded ordinary business district.
No matter how prosperous the neon lights are now, it can't make Zhou Yan feel any excitement in his heart. High-rise buildings and bustling streets will be the most lacking in China thirty years later.
"Shibuya looks better at night." Shizuka Kudo held Zhou Yan's arm and said.
Zhou Yan nodded, "Do you usually come here to go shopping?"
"I don't have time to go shopping, and shopping alone is boring."
"Can Songzi come to accompany you, or do you have no other friends in the industry?"
Zhou Yan rarely heard Shizuka Kudo talk about his friends. She had said before that her relationship with Akina Nakamori was okay.
Kudo Shizuka said with blank eyes, "It's hard to have real friends in the industry. If we can call each other occasionally, we have a good relationship. Matsuko is a workaholic. Even if I take a break, she still has a lot of work to do. Friends in school, now It’s getting further and further.”
Zhou Yan nodded. Kudo Shizuka debuted as a teenager and had very few opportunities to make friends.
In fact, if Zhou Yan hadn't made some friends later, he would probably have been alone most of the time.
When my predecessor was in school, I didn’t have many good friends. After I went to college, my relationship with the classmates in the class was also very average. In other words, Jia Guoping was in the same dormitory with Zhou Yan and was much older, so he took more care of him. .
At this time, several young girls passed by the two of them, chattering non-stop.
Looking at them, Shizuka Kudo said with envy, "I regret not going to school properly. In fact, I like the time I spent in your studio. I was surrounded by your juniors, just like I was a student in the school."
"If you really want to go to school, come back and apply to our school, I will be your teacher." Zhou Yan joked.
This was just a joke, but Shizuka Kudo blinked and looked at Zhou Yan seriously, "Is this okay? If I apply to your school, what conditions do I need?"
Zhou Yan was stunned by Shizuka's serious look, "If you want to apply to our composition department, it may be a bit difficult..."
In fact, it is not difficult for Shizuka to go to their school, but the major can only be limited to vocal music.
Of course, if she is willing to spend time learning some instruments, she doesn't have to learn too well, and she also has the hope of going to the orchestra department. Although the standards of the Central Conservatory of Music are high, Shizuka Kudo is a celebrity after all, and she is a foreigner. Because of her popularity, the conditions will be lowered.
But she couldn't possibly get into the composition and conducting department because it was too much of a test of talent and basic skills. Which student in the composition department didn't learn music theory from a young age? Many of them are second-generation musicians like Zhao Lin.
Zhou Yan himself can be considered a second-generation musician. Although his mother is not a composer, Zhou Yan has been influenced by her since childhood, and his perception of music is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
Not to mention conducting, which is more difficult than the composition department. The key is that the conducting department cannot be entered by hard work. It requires talent and a particularly good ear.
Hearing Zhou Yan say that it is difficult, Kudo Shizuka said with some disappointment, "I also want to try a teacher-student relationship."
Zhou Yan rolled his eyes, "Your idea is a bit dangerous."
Kudo Shizuka pouted and looked at Zhou Yan, "Tell me, are there any female students who like you in school?"
Zhou Yan said quickly, "Don't talk nonsense, I always keep a normal distance from students in school."
His reaction was not exaggerated at all. As a senior teacher who has been engaged in the education industry for many years, this is what he fears most.
When Zhou Yan was teaching in a middle school in his previous life, he often encountered this kind of problem, especially in the first few years of his teaching.
At that time, he had just graduated from school, was only a few years older than the students, had a good appearance, and had a gentle teaching style. If a student had emotional problems for a period of time, he would also be very considerate to give psychological counseling to the student.
As for the students, whether they are boys or girls, they have a special complex for teachers, especially when the teacher is very gentle, they are prone to have some feelings for the teacher.
The children are in adolescence and will mistakenly think that this kind of feeling is love.
Ordinary girls will not show it, but there are always one or two paranoid girls in each class who will have wild thoughts.
At the beginning, Zhou Yan didn't take it seriously and just thought that it was a good thing for students to have a good relationship with teachers.
But later, gradually, he found that something was wrong. Some girls would do some extraordinary things, and he even received love letters from girls.
At that time, Zhou Yan was shocked and was afraid that something would happen.
After that, he kept his distance from students. More often, he showed his students the image of a strict teacher, and his dressing style became more and more rustic and mature.
After teaching for a long time, he gradually gave up the idea of making friends with students.
The term "both teacher and friend" does not exist for him at all, because making friends with students may cause a lot of unnecessary trouble.
This teaching style has continued to this day. Even though he teaches in a university now, he tries not to make friends with students.
Of course, not every teacher thinks the same as Zhou Yan.
After teaching for a long time, Zhou Yan has seen a lot of messy things.
Once Zhou Yan went on a business trip to another place, he met a married female teacher traveling with a male student on the bus. He did not expose it at the time, but later he heard that the female teacher divorced her husband. As for whether she was with the male student, it is unknown.
The most outrageous thing that happened in their school at that time was that a girl fell in love with a married political teacher in their school.
After that incident, every meeting emphasized that teachers and students should not get too close.
Zhou Yan's reaction was so strong because he had seen this situation so many times.
Seeing Zhou Yan's reaction, Kudo Shizuka smiled, "Although you have only been teaching for a few years, you give me the feeling of an old teacher."
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "I call it doing one thing and being good at one thing."
"Okay, okay, you are the best."
Kudo Shizuka's Chinese is getting better and better now, and even her tone of voice is very good.
...
The two of them walked around Shibuya until the evening. Although Kudo Shizuka went to many clothing stores, she didn't buy any clothes. She just went there for shopping.
She was right. Shibuya at night does look more interesting than during the day.
As night fell and the lights came on, the whole street had a hazy feeling.
And after dark, there were more people on the street.
Tired of walking around, the two found a pub that looked pretty good and walked in.
As soon as the two of them entered, they heard a cheer. Zhou Yan looked in the direction of the cheer. It turned out that there was a TV hanging on the bar counter of the pub, and a football match was playing at the moment.
The TV is not big, probably less than 20 inches. For a country with big TV sets like Neon, this equipment is considered backward.
However, the backwardness of the equipment did not affect the enthusiasm of the customers at all. A group of people were under the TV, looking up at the TV, concentrating.
"Is this the Neon Football League?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I don't know." Shizuka Kudo shook her head, and then asked the waiter a few questions in neon language.
After the waiter finished answering, Kudo Shizuka said to Zhou Yan, "It seems to be the recording of today's league. These two teams, one is Kashima Antlers and the other is Nagoya Orca Eight, are the favorites to compete for the championship, so everyone is very focus on."
"It's a recording."
Zhou Yan was slightly disappointed. The live broadcast of a football match gave people a completely different feeling from the recorded broadcast. When the result was already known, the process of the match was much less thrilling.
When watching the live broadcast, because the result is unknown, you don't know which kick may lead to a goal, which is also the most exciting.
Therefore, Zhou Yan was quite surprised that these people were so excited after watching the recording.
While being surprised, Zhou Yan was also sighing, Neon's football development is really enviable.
In fact, the development of Neon's professional football is just behind that of China. Their professional league has only been established for two or three years.
But it took them a short period of time to develop football into a decent form. Later, the football standards of China and Neon became worse and worse.
If Zhou Yan told the Chinese people now that it will be difficult for Chinese football to beat Neon in a few years, I am afraid not many people would believe it, because Chinese football has been nothing short of neon in recent years.
"Are you also interested in football?" Shizuka asked curiously.
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "It's okay."
The recorded game ended quickly. When the food ordered by Zhou Yan and the others came up, they heard the referee blow the final whistle. In the end, Antlers Kashima narrowly defeated Nagoya Orca Eight 2-1 and scored the key three points. .
After a while, Shizuka Kudo suddenly turned her head and looked in the direction of the TV.
Zhou Yan looked up and seemed to be broadcasting news.
"What's wrong?"
Kudo Shizuka whispered, "Your news is being broadcast."
"What news?"
"The Sixth Sense has been a hit at the box office in North America, with sales exceeding 100 million U.S. dollars."
Zhou Yan was stunned for a moment, "Are you sure you mean 100 million US dollars?"
"Well, I must have heard it right, the title is still written below. The host said that Asian movies have conquered Hollywood, and also mentioned the original "The Sixth Sense", saying that this movie was very high at the Neon box office at that time. Why? Is there something wrong with this 100 million US dollars?”
"I just received a call from Colombia today. The box office of "The Sixth Sense" just exceeded 60 million U.S. dollars. The real box office may be higher, but it cannot exceed 100 million U.S. dollars. Neon's TV station It’s even more impossible to get the news so quickly.”
Kudo Shizuka is not surprised, "They probably made an estimate, and if they estimate the box office higher, it will attract more attention. Anyway, the final box office of this movie will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars. No one will care about the current news." accuracy."
Zhou Yan smiled. Sure enough, fake news is everywhere in the world, and this is not a street tabloid, but a serious TV station news.
Zhou Yan also has double standards when it comes to fake news. Anyway, the news has no harm to him at all, so he doesn't care. (End of chapter)
