Chapter 380: The World is Awakening
Su Yun was very upset by the extremely harsh culture in Japan towards women, especially female artists.
In contrast, it was China's approach that made her feel that human nature is inherently good and that the concept of protecting the weak has a long history.
Perhaps, this is the difference between a truly strong person and someone who knows little etiquette but lacks great righteousness.
When faced with an injured person, a truly strong person will offer assistance and words of comfort in an effort to help the victim overcome difficulties and return to the light.
Those who know small etiquette but lack great righteousness think that the victim is embarrassed and continue to inflict secondary harm on him or her, which they think is "courtesy and integrity."
For example, in the stories of Weng Feining and Nakamori Akina, whose fates were not changed by her, both were trapped in love and could not think straight and hurt themselves. Most Chinese people would scold Weng Feining's scumbag boyfriend, feel sorry for her, support her and encourage her; but Japanese people think that as an idol, Akina Nakamori's actions would bring harm to others, and demand that she apologize to the public...
This kind of atmosphere in Japan has also led to the fact that even though Seiko Matsuda's wedding is imminent, some people still think that it is unkind for her to immediately enter into a new relationship just nine days after officially announcing her breakup: they had been in a long-term relationship for many years, and after breaking up peacefully, they claimed that "if there is an afterlife, we will definitely love each other for a lifetime... I have a hunch", so why did she fall into the arms of another person in the blink of an eye?
Seiko Matsuda scoffed at such ridicule and doubts: "In fact, we had already separated for some time because of our disagreement on family values, but we had not yet officially announced it to the public. I said this at the time because I knew that in this life, or in this era, it is impossible to shake the traditional Japanese thinking that is deeply rooted in their minds, so I will put my 'hope' in the 'next life'."
The implication is that she did not lose because her love was not deep enough, but because the times were not tolerant enough.
"You really are a very opinionated person." After hearing Seiko Matsuda's explanation, Akina Nakamori and the Ume sisters sighed.
Seiko Matsuda is a new-age woman who, no matter how sweet the relationship is, will be prepared for a breakup if it is not suitable for marriage; and then she will meet the right person to marry her at the most appropriate time and immediately make up her mind to step into a new stage of life. Naturally, her peers who are not much different in age will be shocked by her thinking.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this. Let's have a good time tonight!" Su Yun brought champagne and started laughing with everyone.
Seeing that people of the same age she once knew were about to enter a new stage in their lives, whether they were Su Yun and Nakamori Akina, with whom she had a deep relationship, or the Mei sisters, with whom she had worked in the past and with whom she could occasionally talk due to work, everyone was very emotional at tonight's bachelor party, with laughter non-stop.
Seiko Matsuda raised the champagne that Su Yun had poured for her and drank it all in one gulp. Then she let out a long sigh of relief: "Huh... I haven't drunk so freely in a long time!"
As singers, they undoubtedly put a lot of effort into maintaining their voices, and their daily dietary requirements are correspondingly high. Among this group of young girls, perhaps only Su Yun, who occasionally guest-stars as a singer, and Mei Aishuang, who has semi-retired behind the scenes, can have a little more freedom in their diet.
Considering that tonight is a special day, Akina Nakamori and Mei Yanshuang also followed the example of Seiko Matsuda and temporarily relaxed their restraints to taste the "forbidden foods" and satisfy their appetite.
Perhaps young girls are both looking forward to and afraid of love. For a "big shot" like Matsuda Seiko who has won two relationships, they can't help but gossip about her after a few drinks: "How did you get out of that situation and then fall into that relationship so quickly?"
"When I was filming in Mexico, I accidentally got food poisoning and had a terrible stomachache..." Facing the gossiping eyes of the crowd, Matsuda Seiko generously told the opportunity for her and Kanda Masaki to develop a good impression, "At that time, the doctor asked me to use a hot towel for hot compresses, changing it every ten minutes. He took care of me very carefully all night and stayed with me to comfort me..."
"He was very nice and considerate. He even fed me porridge. At that time, I saw that his hands turned very red. Maybe he got burned..."
"When I don't know what to do, when I'm in pain, the man who can stay by my side is the one I can marry and the one I can walk with..."
"However, he is a person who can make me feel at ease. Living together in the future, he can understand me and it won't be tiring to be with him..."
"Of course, the most important thing is that although he also has traditional Japanese male thinking, he still respects my idea of not giving up work after marriage - that makes me happy."
So, when she was feeling down, someone showed up to comfort her in time, and the other person was so doting that he changed his mind for her. In addition, Kanda Masaki was also a typical Showa-style dark-faced handsome man...all these factors added up, and it was hard to refuse.
"Senior Yamaguchi Momoe was a very smart and lucky person. She figured out what she really wanted early on. If ordinary women can't find a good man like Miura Tomokazu who is worthy of entrusting their lives to, please don't fall into marriage too early, because there is not only happiness but also constraints in it." However, although Matsuda Seiko is very satisfied with her soon-to-be husband Kanda Masaki, she still raises a glass to her friends who have not yet reached her stage, "Let's encourage each other!"
"Let's encourage each other!" Su Yun and others smiled and raised their glasses.
On the second day, at the scene that the media called "Seihui's wedding", Nakamori Akina playfully ran away for a while and then ran back. Then she looked at Mei Yanshuang with a teasing look: "Xicheng-kun is here this time too. He recently had a collaboration with the Hong Kong film industry and wanted to find you to learn about Hong Kong film shooting."
After saying this, Akina Nakamori turned her head and blinked and smiled at Su Yun amid Mei Yanshuang's surprised and shy response: Yes, this opportunity was exactly what Su Yun asked her to help arrange.
Mei Yanshuang has always liked Xicheng Xiushu. She regretted for a long time that she did not have the chance to meet him when filming "The Thousand Faces of the Girl". Now that Xicheng Xiushu is about to cooperate with Hong Kong, Su Yun naturally wants to play a role in bringing them together.
With the golden finger of future memory, Su Yun can avoid those two-faced scumbags to the greatest extent. Then Xicheng Xiushu, who was once chosen by her as the male lead of "The Thousand Faces Girl" and whom Mei Yanshuang has always been infatuated with, naturally became her good target.
Of course, Su Yun just asked Akina Nakamori to help play matchmaker and give both parties a chance. If it works out, everyone will be happy. If it doesn't, it's not a big deal - Hong Kong has always admired powerful people, and since everyone is in the entertainment industry, late marriage, late childbirth or even no marriage is quite common.
Rather than being deceived or dragged down by scum, it is better to look for something good first and give both parties a chance to work hard for each other.
Seeing Su Yun watching Akina Nakamori and the Mei sisters leave with satisfaction, Wang Jiaju, who was sitting next to her, couldn't help but ask, "Did you discuss something weird?"
Su Yun's thoughts have always been difficult to detect and complex. Although most of the time she is thinking about her relatives and friends, this feeling of being kept in the dark still makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Especially since he was going to leave Lin Jiashu's band soon and return to Hong Kong with his brother to develop his own music for Hong Kong people...
Although those youthful feelings have gradually transformed into a complex relationship deeper than friendship and family affection with the passage of time and Su Yun's changing status, this friendship cannot suppress Su Yun's growing "power".
And even if Su Yun didn't use "power" to bully him, young girls' minds are always weird. In the past, they were far apart, and distance created beauty. Now she is going back to Hong Kong and can be said to be working under Su Yun, so Wang Jiaju couldn't help but think a little more.
"Don't worry, your style is not suitable for commercial use. I personally support you to form a team to create..." Su Yun patted his shoulder soothingly, "and with the development of the Hong Kong music scene, the creation aspect obviously cannot keep up with the 'shipping' aspect. Many companies have a trend of using their multinational cooperation platforms to purchase the copyright of Japanese songs and write lyrics for cover songs. I am really very happy that you can come back to Hong Kong to support the development of local music."
Seeing how good Su Yun and Wang Jiaju were getting along, Lin Jiashu, who felt that his teammates, whom he had finally recruited, were about to leave, couldn't help but sigh a few times.
"It's someone's wedding day, don't act like this!" Su Yun smiled and reached out to gently tap this old friend who was particularly affectionate, "I'm sending you a replacement!"
Although they had not seen each other for a long time, the friendship they had known each other since childhood remained unchanged. Lin Jiashu and Su Yun also played around with each other for a long time before he sat up straight and joined everyone in applauding in congratulations for the newlyweds who stepped onto the red carpet.
Su Yun clapped her hands as she scanned the smiling young faces at the scene, and finally her eyes fell on the bride in a white veil: Matsuda Seiko, who had been working tirelessly like a machine all these years since her debut, finally stopped her high-speed pace at this moment and entered a new stage of life.
In this new era that is taking off all over the world, the new women born in this era will work hard to shoulder the entire future no matter what choices they make.
Blessings and blessings, encourage each other with me.
After the lively and grand ceremony, it is time for many young girls to toss the bouquet.
Seeing Mei Yanshuang's eager look, I guess the previous contact made her feel very good. So, she immediately showed signs of being eager to get married.
"Are you going to rob?" Su Yun asked her with a smile.
"Of course I'll go and grab it. It's a rare opportunity for me to talk to my idol. In my heart, I've already thought of what to name our future child!" Mei Yanshuang replied carelessly.
Knowing that Su Yun's current status makes it difficult for her to get married, and even difficult to announce her relationship once she has one, and that she has always appeared to be "undemanding" and career-minded, Mei Yanshuang was not polite to her and even wanted to borrow her skills to help increase her chances of getting the bride's bouquet.
"Okay, since you're my good sister." Su Yun's smile deepened, and she exchanged glances with Mei Aishuang who was about to help her sister grab the bouquet: there were three of them here, so the chances of grabbing the bouquet were much greater.
With the advantage in numbers and skills, the outcome was naturally predictable.
Seeing Su Yun nimbly helping Mei Yanshuang grab the bouquet, Nakamori Akina was a little surprised: "Ah? Didn't you grab it for yourself?"
She planned to take advantage of the opportunity when Seiko Matsuda slowed down her pace to make further progress in her career, so she didn't have much obsession with the bridal bouquet.
And Su Yun, who has so many "good cards" around her, has never been heard of and is not interested in the bridal bouquet... Isn't she really too career-minded?
So Su Yun briefly explained her current situation to her, and she looked relieved and regretful: "Although I'm glad that you can stick to your career, I also feel it's a pity..."
"People don't live just for love. I have bigger goals to work towards, so I have to pay a price along the way." Su Yun is very clear about her current position, and is also very clear about other aspects -
"Besides, men are... only sensible men can be called good men, while those who are not sensible are 'very unbearable'."
"However, I also look forward to the day when I achieve my goal and put down my burdens, and there will be someone waiting for me far ahead..."
As for the question of how many people would appear at that time... Su Yun quickly shook his head: Let's not think too far ahead for now!
