Li Xianglan.
This is obviously a Chinese name.
However, the name of the drama "Farewell Li Lanxiang" seems familiar.
Nao Nagano opened the script with a sense of weirdness.
Screenwriter: Tetsuro Abe.
The script is adapted from real history and is narrated by Miss Otaka Yoshiko (Yamaguchi Yoshiko).
Real history?
Yamaguchi Yoshiko?
Otaka Yoshiko?
Nagano Nao was stunned.
For a long time, women have had no status in Japan. Whether in the family, business, or society, they exist like vassals.
Not to mention the government, in Japan's modern history, there have been basically no women in the cabinet.
But there was one exception.
Yamaguchi Yoshiko, also known as Otaka Yoshiko.
This person is a legendary figure in Japan. She once used the pseudonym Li Xianglan in the puppet state of Manchukuo. She was very popular, a famous socialite in Shanghai, a popular singer, and a big-name film and television star.
After the Second World War, Manchukuo was dissolved.
Li Xianglan was arrested by the Nationalist government on charges of treason.
But later, because she proved that she was Japanese and not Chinese, she was acquitted and sent back to Japan and changed her name to Yamaguchi Yoshiko. Later, she changed her name to Otaka Yoshiko after her husband's surname.
After returning to China, he entered the entertainment industry and became famous for an era because of his legendary experience.
The song "Night Jasmine" was sought after by many big-name stars in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Teresa Teng covered it and Jacky Cheung wrote "Li Lanxiang" for it.
When Kakuei Tanaka was in power, this once-popular legendary actress was persuaded to join the cabinet as a senator, and has been in this position for 16 years, serving as deputy minister of several departments.
Today, Otaka Yoshiko is still a member of parliament and often appears on television and in the news.
So Nagano Naoto fainted.
He had a little impression of the TV series "Goodbye, Li Xianglan".
At the beginning, I didn’t understand the difference between actresses, but occasionally I saw that Yasuko Sawaguchi was pretty, so I evaluated this work with a critical mindset.
And then nothing happened.
Besides the regret, I really hate her for being unprofessional.
Naturally, he had no idea about the story behind the show.
All right!
At that time, I just wanted to criticize.
You can imagine how shocked I was when I suddenly realized that this was true history.
"Is this the new script that Ms. Sawaguchi received?" Nagano Nao said in a trance, with an incredibly complicated feeling.
Sawaguchi Yasuko smiled shyly: "Yes! This new drama will be filmed by Huaxia Central Media and Dongbao. Ikeda-kun attaches great importance to this matter, so I want to learn more about the Chinese language and culture, and strive to be able to play this significant drama well. I'll leave it to you, Nagano-kun."
"Huaxia Central Media?"
Nagano Nao was obviously stunned.
He never expected that this drama would be related to China.
Sawaguchi Yasuko didn't notice anything wrong, and said with longing and a little excitement: "Yes! This is the company's most important drama this year. It was Ikeda-kun who personally met with Ms. Tanaka Makiko and Ms. Otaka Yoshiko to help me get it. So I would like to ask Nagano-kun to give Sawaguchi some advice on Chinese culture and language."
Tanaka Makiko? Otaka Yoshiko?
Toho?
Ikeda Sakurako?
The amount of information is really too much! The backs of these people are connected together, and now when we are filming the anti-war TV series "Goodbye, Li Lanxiang", it feels vaguely like we have caught an invisible thread connecting them together.
As Nagano Nao drank his tea, the expression on his face gradually froze and his pupils slowly dilated.
No way!!
Nagano Nao's heart was filled with turmoil, and Sawaguchi Yasuko, who couldn't hold back her ejaculation, had water stains all over her face.
Sawaguchi Yasuko exclaimed.
But it was too late to dodge, and Nagano Nao touched her face and her clothes, all wet.
Seeing that he had caused a big disaster, Nagano Nao quickly calmed down and reflexively bent over to wipe Sawaguchi Yasuko's face with his sleeve.
Too sudden.
Before Yasuko Sawaguchi could react, a big hand touched her face.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do? If there is anything in Sawaguchi Yasuko's mind at this moment, it is probably the soul triple.
Nagano Nao said in a panic: "I'm sorry! Ms. Sawaguchi, I didn't mean it!"
Zekou woke up as if from a dream, waved his hand and wiped his face in panic and said: "It's okay, Nagano-kun, don't bother, I can do it myself."
"How can this be? I'm sorry. I'm so sorry!"
"It's really okay! I can do it myself."
The two started arguing.
One just wanted to make up for the mistake he made just now, while the other tried his best to block the attack of the claws.
Seeing that Nagano Nao was about to wipe the other person's chest with his paws after wiping his face, the guy finally realized that he seemed to be rude.
"Well, Ms. Sawaguchi! I'm so sorry! I was too excited just now!" Nagano Nao said with embarrassment. This incident was really embarrassing.
Yasuko Sawaguchi's face was also red, and it was unclear whether it was because of the friction or the shame.
However, as he was used to seeing big-name actresses in big places, he felt that Nagano Naoto was not trying to take advantage of him, and he didn't seem angry either.
She said with a playful look, "Nagano-kun, please don't blame yourself. Actually, when Jingzi knew that she was going to play the legendary life of Otaka Shuko, she was more excited than you, Nagano-kun. So if you still feel embarrassed, Nagano-kun, please give Jingzi more advice on Chinese culture and language."
Know that the other party is trying to save face for you.
Nagano Nao said with some gratitude: "It is a blessing to be able to guide the national goddess. I believe that only you, Ms. Sawaguchi, can play out the tragic and legendary life of Ms. Otaka Shuko."
"Thank you, Nagano-kun, but please call me Jingzi. I'll need your guidance from now on."
"You're welcome, Jingzi. If you need any help from me, just ask."
The embarrassment just now was resolved invisibly.
It was only after Nao Nagano took a look at the script that he finally had a thorough understanding of the drama.
From the beginning to the end, the core of this drama is anti-war. Otaka Shuko was born in Northeast China and her name is Li Lanxiang, nicknamed Doudou. The story unfolds in flashback.
On one side, the war was raging, and on the other side, Shanghai's upper class society was enjoying prosperity and peace.
Part 1, First Night.
The beginning is when Li Lanxiang reminisces and holds a solo concert at the Shanghai Opera House, and the theme song is the classic song "Tuber Jasmine".
"Jingzi can only sing the Japanese version of this song." Seeing Nagano Nao finished reading it, Jingzi Sawaguchi said generously, "Since Nagano is proficient in Chinese, I think it should be no problem for him to sing in Chinese, right? Can you sing Tuberose in Chinese so that Jingzi can learn it?"
"Ah!" Nagano Nao was embarrassed and said with some difficulty: "Well, my singing sounds a bit like a duck, which is not very pleasant to listen to."
"It's okay. I won't tell anyone even if it doesn't sound good." Yasuko Sawaguchi said with a smile, with a rare playful look between her eyebrows.
Nagano's heart was moved, he cleared his throat and began to sing: "The south wind blows coolly, the nightingale sings softly,
All the flowers under the moon are dreaming, only the tuberose exudes fragrance. I love the night, the nightingale sings, and the flower-like dream even more. I embrace the tuberose, smell the tuberose, tuberose, I sing for you.
Listening to Nagano Nao's a cappella singing, Sawaguchi Yasuko shook her head and seemed to be keeping some kind of beat.
When the music stopped, they clapped their hands with a hint of excitement: "Nagano-kun sings so beautifully, it's really amazing."
"Jingzi, stop laughing at me!"
"It's really beautiful! After all, it's the original Chinese song. Jingzi can't sing it. Can you teach me?"
"certainly."
