Chapter 306 Love and Career
But no matter how worried Seiko Matsuda was, the plane that Su Yun flew from the old Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong, where the old driver preached, was always on time as usual.
Therefore, until Su Yun swaggered into the agreed tea room box, Matsuda Seiko still couldn't think of a good way to deal with it. In the end, she simply followed the ancient Chinese saying "confess and you will be treated leniently; resist and you will be treated severely", and honestly told Su Yun everything that had happened over the past six months.
Although she looked very honest, Su Yundu was still worried. He turned to look at Akina Nakamori who was really honest: "What did she say?"
"Based on what I know and what I don't know, I haven't discovered that she is hiding anything at the moment," Akina Nakamori answered seriously.
"It's your turn." Su Yun used her finger to gently scratch the face of Matsuda Seiko, who looked lucky enough to have gotten away with it, and then said, "Let's talk while we eat."
This teahouse is elegant and quiet, and the pastries are exquisite and delicious. Su Yun, who had been on the plane for most of the day, ate more and more.
The three of them chatted casually, and finally, after eating half a meal, Su Yun raised her head again: "I heard recently that you and Xiang Guangmei seem to be a little bit at odds?"
"It's not a big deal, actually. He just hopes that I can quit the entertainment industry after marriage and take care of my husband and children, just like my senior Yamaguchi..." Most women in Japan at that time got married very early, and with the precedent of Yamaguchi Momoe, many people were waiting for Seiko Matsuda, who is already 22 years old this year, to announce her marriage.
Moreover, her story of liking Hiromi Go since she was a child and then entering the entertainment industry and successfully hooking up with her childhood idol is also a story that many people in Japan praise, and they think it is a truly romantic storyline like a girl's comic.
However, comics are always comics, and reality is not as beautiful as comic stories.
Unlike Akina Nakamori, who was moved by the love story of Yamaguchi Momoe and Miura Tomokazu and wanted to get married early, but was deceived by a scumbag and finally stood up again after going through hardships; Seiko Matsuda has a strong personality since childhood, so from the beginning of this relationship, she never thought of quitting the entertainment industry to marry her lover.
"So what are you planning to do?" Su Yun asked with some confusion.
Should you continue the long-term relationship? Or should you persuade your lover to change his original idea and achieve the best of both worlds?
Matsuda Seiko whispered in Su Yun's ear: "We'll see how things turn out. We'll just have to take it one step at a time. If it doesn't work out - I've already slept with the idol, so of course I have to focus on my career!"
Although it looked like she was whispering with a good friend, the volume didn't actually drop much - as a person whose dealings with people are not mature enough for her age and has become one of her "black spots", Seiko Matsuda would definitely not embarrass the third person to the point of feeling redundant in such a situation with three people.
Although Akina Nakamori, who was sitting next to her with her face covered, felt that it would be better if she hadn't heard this...
Even though she has been in the entertainment industry for quite some time, due to her personality shaped by her family background, Akina Nakamori is still a completely different person on and off stage.
Hearing such a big gossip out of the blue, even Su Yun, who was teased by the Hong Kong media for her ability to speak eloquently from time to time, was stunned by such a brilliant remark by Matsuda Seiko; not to mention Nakamori Akina, who is a vibrant idol singer on the stage but a shy young girl off the stage.
"Huh? Really? I can understand Akina being like this, but you knew Zhuang Long earlier than me, and you still don't have this?!" At this moment, Matsuda Seiko suddenly finally felt that she was really two years older than Su Yun.
Over the years, Su Yun is younger than her in age but mentally seems more mature than her. When she was still dreaming of having a successful career and love, she was already very strict and harsh, and put most of her attention on her career, making her, who is two years older than Su Yun, and Nakamori Akina, who is half a year younger than Su Yun, look very childish.
Unexpectedly, the Chinese people's deep-rooted conservatism helped her to gain a victory.
"Although it's a good thing to always focus on your career, you have to combine work and rest. Young girls need to have some romances, which can also promote the burst of inspiration!" Matsuda Seiko said this, and signaled to Akina Nakamori who wanted to speak not to interrupt. "I know you have been hurt in this regard, but we can't reject beautiful love because of fear of being hurt. You should also feel that when you are in love, your inspiration and energy are at a peak, right?"
Akina Nakamori thought about it very seriously, and finally nodded with a complicated expression.
"That's it!" Matsuda Seiko immediately became excited, "I heard that you are filming a movie series with Zhuang Long, do you need me to teach you a few tricks?"
Su Yun waved her hands, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "No need - he and I are not very suitable."
Akina Nakamori's eyes lit up, and then she became confused like Seiko Matsuda: "Why? Many of us here think that you two are very suitable and a good match..."
Compared to the lack of recognition from other countries, Japan, the birthplace of the Genji complex, is particularly fond of pairs with a big age gap. When "Memoirs of a Geisha" and "Leon: The Professional" were released one after another, the Japanese people gave the most positive reviews and contributed the most to the box office. In addition, many fan short stories and comics were derived, which were crazy about the uncle and Lolita CP in these two movies...
Some people who are obsessed with the CP have even started to support the real people, and are looking forward to Su Yun and Zhuang Long or Alain Delon working together again - of course, Zhuang Long is too busy with the affairs of his own company and film contracts in Europe, so this expectation is just a hope for now.
In contrast, there are more and more movies that Su Yun and Zhuang Long have collaborated on. The talented painter's wife even draws them in the order in which the movies were released, and she is particularly careful to outline how Su Yun grows up year by year to match Zhuang Long's gradually mature image. Sometimes she also uses the theme of the four seasons or December. The exquisite and attentive painting style has made many CP fans crazy.
As idols of young people, Seiko Matsuda and Akina Nakamori can't help but be exposed to these things: Although I feel a little uncomfortable, I have to admit that this is indeed a good drawing...
"I...actually I drank too much once and hit him..." Su Yun was silent for a while, and finally brought up the old matter that had been buried in her heart for a long time: Although there are two sisters, Damei and Xiaomei, in the family who are of the same age, they now have more traditional thinking. If she tells them about it, it will be a bit troublesome to know who will be responsible for whom.
On the contrary, Japan, which was one step ahead of China, has a more open social atmosphere and ideology. Moreover, there are many mountains and rivers to travel, so even if something happens after speaking out, you can escape in an instant...
After listening to Su Yun's story about that winter night, Nakamori Akina was immediately annoyed: "What the hell is this? He can actually reject you just because of the age difference?!"
"I never thought that he grew up in the United States, but his thoughts are so 'Chinese'..." Matsuda Seiko was speechless. She rolled her eyes a few times, then reached out and hooked Su Yun in front of her. Her tone was full of devilish temptation, "How about this, how about I introduce you to some boys who are about your age. Many people here like you..."
"What are you talking about again!" Akina Nakamori was speechless.
"I'm serious!" Matsuda Seiko said seriously, "The best way to forget someone is to find another person to replace him, no matter if he is similar or opposite!"
"Considering that Mary might be having a hard time because of what happened before, I think it would be better to find someone of the same age..."
"Stop it..." Su Yun was even more amused. Seeing that Akina Nakamori seemed to be persuaded, she quickly added, "If I really needed this, you wouldn't have to go to the trouble of looking for it for me - I have a lot of high-quality resources in my hands... Really! Don't look at me like that!"
Facing the stunned expression of Akina Nakamori and the encouraging and gratified "big sister" look of Seiko Matsuda, Su Yun held her forehead and said as if to explain herself and to both of them: "Let me put it this way, I prefer Chinese people. They can more easily agree with me in terms of thinking."
"So Alain Delon and Tom are hopeless?" Matsuda Seiko asked again: In Japan, in addition to the uncle-Lolita CP in "Leon: The Professional", the happy enemies and childhood sweethearts CP in "Perfect Match" is also a major faction...
The Japanese girl, whose mind was often switched to love, was speechless. Su Yun silently lowered her head, eating cakes and drinking drinks, reducing her chances of speaking as much as possible.
However, the two love-minded Japanese girls had no intention of letting her go, and together they used their entanglement skills to achieve a one plus one greater than two effect, and finally got a more accurate name out of Su Yun's mouth: Chen Boyang.
Hearing the name that Su Yun suspected he had a crush on, and that his crush was quite high, Matsuda Seiko thought for a while, then clapped her hands in sudden realization: "Is it Danny Chen who went to the Tokyo Music Festival to participate in the world competition this year? He also acted in a movie with you before?"
"Oh! I've seen that movie too. He sings very well and he's very handsome." Akina Nakamori also remembered it, "But I think the other male lead acted better."
"Danny's acting skills are indeed a little worse than Lesley's, but his performance in the music industry is better at the moment." Su Yun explained to the two the talents and strengths of Chen and Zhang, and then looked at Akina Nakamori and said, "Lesley likes you very much, too. I'll introduce you to him when I'm free. Alas, it's a pity that I came a little late. Lesley has already performed at the Asian Conference, and now he should be going to Malaysia with Ah Mei and the others to hold a concert. We'll talk about it next time."
The two main sources of income for Hong Kong singers these days are album sales and commercial performances in Southeast Asia. Whether the latter is arranged by a company or through personal connections, the income is quite good.
Working in the entertainment industry costs a lot, and even if you want to save a little, the unscrupulous media won’t let you. If you wear a piece of clothing more than a few times, newspapers and magazines will write that you “may have financial problems” or are “stingy and inappropriate”... No wonder many people take on all kinds of commercial performances to make extra money whenever they get the chance - it’s really helpless!
"Okay." Nakamori Akina nodded, then looked at Su Yun, "So what do you think?"
Su Yun shook her head in annoyance: "I'm not sure either. He and I have known each other for a long time. Sometimes, even if we know how we feel, we dare not move on - we don't want to lose each other."
"Don't let yourself get bogged down. We are girls and we have the right to choose." Matsuda Seiko immediately took over the conversation, "Why don't you take a look at my introduction first?"
