Chapter 189 There's a memorial hall even though the person didn't die?
The atmosphere inside the memorial hall was solemn and dignified.
Many people have arrived, their faces filled with piety.
The memorial hall is very large, and there are security guards patrolling inside.
As soon as Xiao Yue and Liangzi entered the memorial hall, they sensed an unusual atmosphere, and Liangzi's expression immediately became solemn.
Xiao Yue followed Liangzi, looking around with curiosity in her eyes.
As she toured the museum, she found it somewhat strange that this memorial hall was completely different from the memorial halls she usually saw.
Upon entering the gate, several portraits that resembled posters came into view, with an odd style. When Xiao Yue first glanced at them, she thought they were advertisements for a movie.
Next were several glass display cases containing strange souvenirs, including figurines, books, and game discs, all of which were detached from the modern era and carried an ancient feel.
"Ryoko, why do these souvenirs look so strange?" Xiao Yue remembered that Ryoko had told her to keep quiet, so she asked in a low voice.
However, at this moment, Ryoko was kneeling devoutly in front of a statue with her hands clasped together. It was more like a pilgrimage than a kneeling.
Not only Ryoko, but many people who come to the memorial hall, besides buying some souvenirs, will come to the most prominent statue in the hall and kneel down to worship it.
After the kneeling ceremony ended, Ryoko stood up and came to Xiao Yue, explaining, "It's not strange, these are all Dragon's works."
"Who exactly is Long?"
Having heard Ryoko mention dragons more than once, Xiao Yue was already incredibly curious, so she asked.
"Dragon is a great martial artist and actor, very powerful. He is the most powerful person in our Japan."
Speaking of dragons, it's rare to see Ryoko's eyes light up with such a golden light. Xiao Yue was very familiar with this expression; it was exactly the same as those infatuated fans.
"actor?"
After hearing Ryoko's words, Xiao Yue exclaimed in surprise. She could understand a martial artist, but an actress…
Are there memorial halls for actors?
Xiao Yue wasn't sure if she had misheard or if the other person had misspoke, so she looked at Ryoko.
Ryoko nodded decisively, pointed to the portraits on the wall, and said, "Yes, look, these are all works by Long."
"You mean these are all movies made by Dragon?" Xiao Yue murmured to herself, staring at the portraits on the wall.
"Not entirely. Some of them are just movie footage. These portraits were painted by our best artists, and it's said that each one is worth millions."
The currency of Japan and the currency of China are not equivalent. Even if we calculate based on one million Japanese yen, it would be worth about fifty or sixty thousand Chinese yen, which is not cheap.
Xiao Yue, who had been quietly calculating the amount in her mind, turned her gaze to the portrait and examined it carefully. Strangely, she felt that a certain person in the portrait was somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
"Is this statue a dragon?" Xiao Yue asked softly, pointing at the statue.
“Yes.” Ryoko nodded solemnly.
Then, Ryoko told Xiao Yue about some of Long's deeds.
for example,
She would point to a certain brand of beer and introduce it to Xiao Yue, saying that it was a beer brand that Long had collaborated with, and that it was a beer bottle that Long had personally touched.
He then led Xiao Yue to a pile of instant noodles and told her that all of these instant noodles had appeared in Dragon's advertisements and were still the most popular instant noodles in Japan.
This isn't over yet.
Liangzi led Xiao Yue to a pile of magazines, picked up one, and recounted in great detail how many times the dragon appeared in it, on which pages, what it did, and what it said.
Xiao Yue was speechless after hearing this, amazed by the other person's love for dragons, and also amazed that someone who often forgets things could remember them so clearly.
As Ryoko enthusiastically introduced the dragon to her, her face beaming with the expression of a devoted fan, Xiao Yue listened silently, while many questions arose in her mind: Just who was this dragon?
Why would someone build a memorial hall for an actor, and why would everyone who sees his statue kneel down in front of him? Is this really something an actor could do?
At least, Xiao Yue had never heard of an actor being so talented. Even a national treasure-level actor couldn't achieve such popularity.
"Ryoko, since he's an actor, what works does he have?" Xiao Yue asked after listening for a while.
“He has many works. Look at this painting, it’s one of his works, ‘Dragon Project.’ See this clock tower? It’s several stories high. The dragon jumped down from here.”
Ryoko pointed to one of the portraits and explained that it depicted the moment a dragon fell from the clock tower to the ground.
"Ah, no wonder..."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yue showed a look of sudden realization, an expression that left Liangzi somewhat puzzled.
"No wonder what?" Ryoko asked.
"No wonder he died young!"
Falling from such a tall clock tower, if you're unlucky, you'd probably be dead.
Moreover, judging from the portrait, the actor named Long is depicted with his head on the ground.
Even if there were no stones on the ground, the sheer hardness of the concrete would likely result in death or serious injury if someone fell from such a tall clock tower.
Thinking of the many objects and statues displayed in the memorial hall, Xiao Yue naturally came up with this idea.
But Ryoko's eyes widened in surprise, and she raised her voice slightly as she retorted, "Xiao Yue-chan, what are you saying? The dragon didn't die from the fall!"
Her expression and demeanor were truly one of utter exasperation. It was the first time Xiao Yue had ever seen Ryoko with such an expression. But when she heard Ryoko's words, it was Xiao Yue who was left speechless.
