What's going on?
When they saw the man running towards them and starting to apologize, a question mark appeared in everyone's head.
But everyone was puzzled. After approaching them, the man scratched his head and apologized, "It's all because of me."
"I'm sorry, what you said was a bit disjointed."
Tang Ze looked at the man and said, "Why are you apologizing right away? This should be the first time we meet."
Because the other party apologized first, Tang Ze's words were very polite.
"Ah, judging from your actions, you're planning to give up admiring the maple leaves and remove the handkerchiefs from the branches, right?"
The man in the gray-blue knitted hat said embarrassedly, "Actually, the reason why things have turned out like this is all because of me."
"Are you the original author of 'Winter Maple Red'?" Yuanzi's eyes lit up when she heard the other party's words. She quickly got down from the tree, ran to the man's side, and said excitedly, "I'm a loyal fan of your book!"
"No, no, I'm a film crew member." The man waved his hands in denial, "I'm an AD."
"So this isn't the original author." Sonoko sighed, with an undisguised look of disappointment on her face.
"I'm sorry to disappoint you."
The man rubbed the back of his head with an apologetic look on his face, and Sonoko realized that her previous attitude was a bit rude, and quickly waved her hand and said, "How could that be? No, I didn't."
The man smiled and didn't say anything more. Instead, he looked at the red maple in front of him with a hint of pride on his face. "But when the script writer asked me if there was a mountain of red maple that could be used as a filming location, I was the one who introduced this place to him.
This is my hometown. I often came here to play when I was a child.
Then during our location shoot, it was discovered that the person with the red handkerchief tied to the branch was me.
After I shared my findings, the screenwriter changed the plot to include tying a red handkerchief around a tree branch.”
"So that's how it is!" Xiaolan suddenly said, "So that scene was also your contribution."
"The last scene was so touching!" Sonoko nodded repeatedly and her attitude became warmer.
"Then many people came to the mountain to camp without permission and tied red handkerchiefs on the branches."
The man looked around and laughed, "This action has made everyone on this mountain quite angry.
Isn't it funny to say "You want to hang handkerchiefs all over my mountain?!"
But when he said these words, he did not see Yuanzi's hand hiding the red handkerchief behind her back.
Tang Ze felt that the awkward smile was enough to buy a small villa.
However, the man didn't notice and continued to laugh to himself, "However, because tourists continue to come here to play, it has boosted the business of the nearby shopping streets and hotels.
However, I think there will only be so many tourists here when the maples turn red. Usually it's just an ordinary forest and basically no one comes here.
So the film and television companies and the township office forwarded all the inquiries to me, and I was almost exhausted.
Like, "Where is that mountain located near?" or "Take me to where the last scene was filmed."
Today, a fan said he was willing to pay me to take him to the filming site of Winter Maple Red and the tree with the red handkerchief tied around it.
I've been looking since early in the morning, but I'm exhausted."
"So that's the entrance speech, that's why you apologized right at the start."
After hearing the other party's explanation of the whole process, Tang Ze finally understood why the other party apologized right away.
Obviously, the man in front of them regarded them as tourists who came to appreciate the maple leaves, and the action of climbing up the tree to remove the red handkerchief from the branch was regarded as his dissatisfaction with this behavior.
But it was obvious that the other party had misunderstood.
Of course, Tangze and others did not expose her. They just watched Yuanzi hide the red handkerchief in her pocket.
"By the way, can you please do me a favor?"
The man looked at everyone and smiled sheepishly, explaining, "I accidentally lost that fan's phone number.
There is a hotel called "Akashu" in front of the station. All you have to do is leave a message for me on the notepad in the lobby.
Oh, and their food is delicious too, I recommend you try it.”
"Okay." Tang Ze nodded and said, "I wonder what message I should leave?"
"Thank you very much. Just write, 'I have found the tree you were looking for. Please come to the rock in the last scene of the play.'"
The man seemed to feel a little embarrassed to ask someone he had just met to do something for him, so he explained, "To be honest, I made an appointment with that fan to meet at that hotel today.
But I didn't expect that because the red handkerchiefs were everywhere in the mountains, I had to search for so long and was seriously exhausted.
Now if I were to go down the mountain to meet that person and then bring him up this mountain, I wouldn't have the strength to do it."
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to write your name below the message?" Xiaolan reminded.
"Oh, that's right." The man took out a notebook from his pocket with his left hand, supported it with his right hand, and wrote a line of English: "Just write "HODUMI" on it."
"Is this all I need to write?" Ayako asked. "Don't you need to be more detailed?"
"Ah, it's okay, it's okay. We're just talking over the phone."
