Chapter 89 A Rich Harvest

Unexpectedly, she would meet the legendary world's most beautiful boy in Japan. Su Yun held the mask and pondered for a second, then stood on tiptoe to put the mask back on his face...

"Hey, what are you doing?!" Bourne was confused by Su Yun's action and quickly held her down.

"It's too dangerous to go down to the mortal world. You'd better take it with you." Boys aged eighteen or nineteen are at the age when they are thin and tall. Even if Su Yun can barely break the 1.5 meter mark with his shoes, he can't stand up to the angel who is estimated to be about 1.8 meters tall.

"Why are you acting like a child?" Bourne pinched Su Yun's raised hand, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm only ten years old, I'm indeed a child." Su Yun said this in a righteous manner, pretending to be a naughty child.

"You're only ten years old?! You look clearly in that movie and now..." In the movie, you looked like eleven or twelve years old, and now because of the heavy makeup and the average height of the Japanese, you look fourteen or fifteen at first glance...

After confirming that the person in front of him was only ten years old, the little surprise in his mind was instantly extinguished.

"Okay, stop making trouble. Give me back my mask and I'll give you back yours." Bourne sighed.

Su Yun handed the mask over, then simply sat down on the sloping grass nearby to rest: "Why are you in Japan?"

"If you can make movies in Japan, why can't I make music in Japan?" Perhaps it was a rare occasion to meet someone who was not moved by his looks but was even slightly better than him, so Bourne felt a little like he had met a companion, so he sat down next to him.

From Bourne's explanation, Su Yun finally learned the truth about why she met him in Japan: after filming the movie "Death in Venice" four years ago, although the movie failed at the box office, the fifteen-year-old was suddenly hailed as "the world's most beautiful boy" and became an instant hit.

Unfortunately, rapid fame is always accompanied by the jealousy of others.

It is said that the role of Tadzio in Death in Venice was originally intended for director Luchino Visconti's homosexual lover Helmut Berger. However, after Visconti had searched for the role and suddenly encountered Byrne who came for an audition, he immediately decided on Byrne, who looked more suitable.

Helmut was unhappy about the role being taken away from him and Visconti's care for Byrne, and was afraid that Visconti would fall in love with Byrne, so he repeatedly spread rumors and slandered him. Byrne was so annoyed that he had to accept the invitation from Japan and came to Japan to shoot GG and record songs, hoping to start over.

"I really didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought it was a rare opportunity for a foreign director to come to Sweden, and the film was being shot in Venice - so I could take this opportunity to go to Venice for free..." Byrne recalled the past with a sigh, "I was very happy at the time. After receiving the notice from the crew, I even held a small party with my friends to celebrate."

"What I didn't expect was that after I became famous through this movie, I became 'Tadzio' in people's eyes, not Anderson anymore." Thinking that Su Yun was probably too young to understand the dirty minds of adults, he didn't continue to explain in depth.

Seeing him looking for a cigarette but unable to find one and having to stand paralyzed with his fingers twirled, Su Yun added something else that was not said to him: after being hailed as the beautiful boy Tadzio, a straight man became a homosexual in people's eyes.

However, Su Yun, who naturally guessed that Bourne left his hometown to develop in Japan based on later legends and records, did not know that the reason why Bourne went to Japan, in addition to the stagnation of his acting career, was an incident that he felt deeply humiliated and kept secret.

It’s not that he didn’t have any film offers after “Death in Venice”, but he was affected by the disputes and rumors. The roles that were offered to him were either beautiful boys or homosexuals, so the troubled Byrne was naturally unwilling to agree.

And Bourne's undisclosed incident was also related to sexual orientation: when he went to the Cannes Film Festival with the crew in 1971, the crew, most of whom, from the director to the crew members, were homosexuals, actually took Bourne, who was not yet sixteen at the time, to a gay club for fun.

The crew was having a great time, but no one cared about his helplessness - at that time, he was like a piece of sweet cream cake that fell into a pile of hungry wolves, being stared at closely by the guests and waiters with unbearable, greedy eyes.

Bound by the rules of social etiquette, he couldn't even lose his temper, let alone resist or leave in anger.

I could only endure those hateful gazes with difficulty, follow the crew closely, and try my best to survive this terrible night. Finally, I escaped from this nightmare intact as I wished.

He originally thought that by leaving his hometown and going to another world, he could get rid of Tadzio's shackles, but he was helpless to find that the reason why the Japanese welcomed him was that they still wanted to find traces of the beautiful boy in his old age on his face.

But can he still be called a teenager since he is already an adult?

Bourne forced himself to follow the contract, pretending to be young by wearing various complicated medieval-style dresses to shoot GG and record Japanese songs. However, he felt more and more uncomfortable with the environment, and finally decided to leave the country that gave him a chance to breathe.

Unexpectedly, before leaving, an accidental collision in the hotel caused the tumbling luggage to crush the fingers of a band's guitarist. At the request of the guitarist and the band members who were temporarily unable to play due to the injured fingers, he had no choice but to put on a mask and pretend to be the band's guitarist to participate in the competition.

Then, he met Su Yun, a monster who was much younger and more capable than him.

"It's true that geniuses are easily born in this era." Hearing Byrne's sigh, Su Yunsi added without blushing.

Seeing Bourne's speechless look, Su Yun spread her hands and said, "I'm not wrong. The speed of development in the past hundred years is many times faster than that of previous times. Sooner or later, you will be shocked by these changes that you can't catch up with no matter how hard you try."

"If that's the case, that would be great." If that were true, then all the complicated disputes and rumors surrounding him would have been washed away by the tide of the times and into the dust of history, right?

"Don't be so discouraged, there is hope tomorrow." Su Yun, wearing a golden sun half-face mask, perfectly interpreted a little sun at this moment.

Seeing her bright smile, Bourne couldn't help but smile too. When he was about to say something, a hand suddenly patted his shoulder.

Seeing a hand with obvious joints on Su Yun's shoulder, Bourne turned his head sharply and saw the owner of the hand holding their shoulders tightly, panting and speaking intermittently: "Finally, I found you!"

Su Yun glanced at his golden-haired hair that was fluttering in the wind - this was none other than the golden-haired killer Matt who had sneaked onto the stage to try to steal a role and was eventually carried away.

"How did you catch up?" Golden Killer Matt spoke in Japanese, but Su Yun and Bourne had learned it and could understand it, so Su Yun couldn't help but ask.

During the breathless explanation and self-introduction of Golden Retriever Killer Matt, Su Yun and the others learned that his name was Lin Jiashu. After being taken away from the disco, he had been waiting at the door of the disco, intending to continue his digging. However, when he suddenly saw his target running away hand in hand, he immediately followed them first.

React faster than the paparazzi!

"My friend and I have formed a band and we are short of people. Do you want to join?" Lin Jiashu stared at the two with his eyes shining. His words were asking if they wanted to join, but his hands were making a strong gesture, saying that if they didn't join, they wouldn't be able to leave...

Su Yun and Bourne looked at each other, then immediately grasped the edge of the mask and took it off again.

"That's great. You are famous, skilled, and good-looking. You are exactly the teammates I need!" I wanted to let him back down, but he became even more excited.

"We all have our own work to do, so there's really no way we can join your band." Although Bourne looks like he has a cute smile, he is actually a typical rebellious teenager from the 1970s who never puts down his cigarettes and drinks. Su Yun saw from the corner of her eye that this angelic face had secretly clenched his devilish fist, so she quickly took action and spoke to stop the two from approaching.

Compared to ancient angels like Bern Anderson, she is more familiar with "flower boys" like Lin Jiashu who have survived into the modern era and have a very long shelf life.

Of course, this future Japanese rock star doesn't rely solely on his looks; he has real talent.

"I have a friend who will be coming to Japan to study soon. He plays the guitar much better than me." Su Yun explained earnestly how she and Bowen were currently focusing on their acting careers, and then decisively pushed Wang Jiaju out as a shield.

The future is full of bohemian rockers, and they should get along well...

Fearing that Lin Jiashu would not believe her, Su Yun added the most important point: "Because his skills are so good, I had to get him a Martin D-35."

"When will your friend come over?" Lin Jiashu asked immediately after hearing the guitar model.

"He is still learning Japanese, and it will probably take about a year. Leave me your contact information and I will definitely contact you when the time comes." Su Yun said with a smile.

"Okay, my band is temporarily called X." Lin Jiashu took the small notebook that Su Yun carried with him and began to write in a flamboyant manner: In fact, his band had used DYNAMITE and NOISE before... But for people who play music, it is normal to forget the old and love the new. Not to mention the band name, teammates come and go like the wind.

Otherwise, as a captain and a "big boss", would he really go around poaching people's performances to find the corners they like? !

Su Yun quietly watched him write: Due to the current technological limitations and the lack of smart phones, she could only learn from Zheng Sir and carry a shoulder bag with a small notebook and a large stack of business cards to contact friends... Wait, this guy is younger than her?!

He looks like he's half a head taller than me - oh, maybe that fluffy golden hair has made him a few centimeters taller.

As expected, there are indeed differences between people. Even if she works hard to grow taller with the help of the system, she will still lose to her peers who developed early and have abnormally high heights.

"Don't look at my young age. I started learning classical piano at the age of four, and this year I even got my own drum set!" Lin Jiashu saw Su Yun's expression and immediately understood her thoughts. He quickly expressed his financial resources, "My mom runs a kimono shop, so there's no need to worry about the band's funding!"

After taking the business card from him, Su Yun suddenly realized: This was the son of the owner of the kimono shop where she and Fumiaki Kamachi rented a kimono when they were filming and watching the night cherry blossoms.

It's quite a coincidence.

"Of course you don't need to worry about the funding issue. It's mainly about playing music and studying..." Since Su Yun had "sold" his good brother, he naturally wouldn't just give up like that.

"I have good academic performance, so you don't have to worry about this." As a well-known bad boy in the school with excellent academic performance but extreme behavior, Lin Jiashu is very confident.

"Okay, I'll contact you as soon as my friend arrives." Su Yun smiled and nodded.

Watching Su Yun change Lin Jiashu from a persistent pursuer to a low-level interviewer waiting to be contacted in just a few moves, Bourne couldn't help but hold his forehead and tried to wipe away the non-existent cold sweat: Fortunately, he didn't reveal all his affairs before, and didn't really fight with her to the end on the stage...

After seeing Su Yun send Lin Jiashu off with a ticket for the premiere of the Japanese version of "The Sixth Sense" as a farewell gift, and then turned around to look back, Bourne hurriedly rejected the ticket one after another, fearing that he would be trapped by it.

He has seen evil people before, and he won't be so foolish as to sell himself out for a tiny profit!

"Okay then, do you want me to leave your contact information?" Su Yun slowly stuffed the coupon into her shoulder bag, and seemed to open the inside of the bag wide to face the other person, as if inadvertently but also deliberately. Then the large stack of business cards with all kinds of familiar names and small photos or job titles for easy identification hit the other person's eyes with impeccable force.

Warner, Universal, WMA, Jiahe...

Kubrick, Kurosawa Akira, Friedkin...

"Give me your notebook..." The poor handsome boy, who finally remembered that he was in urgent need of a job, spoke in a low voice.
