Chapter 153 Declaration of War
This Millennium Actress plot lasts for 3 chapters. If you don't like it, you can skip it. Chapter 155 is the conclusion chapter. I'm sorry that I can't write this plot well due to my lack of writing skills.
The plot of Millennium Actress is that the heroine met a democratic fighter when she was young, but the man was later killed. The heroine got the key to the relic but didn't know that the man was dead. The love-struck heroine kept looking for the man to keep her promise, and later appeared in a movie she made.
The future heroine has forgotten the man's appearance and voice, but she likes the feeling of chasing and searching.
The interview officially began. Kitazawa Takeshi picked up the camera and started recording. Chiyoko Tsukikage was a little surprised when she received the business card handed over by the other party. The president of Longteng TV Station and Longteng Film Company is really young and promising, but the name Longteng seems quite unfamiliar.
"Mr. Yongshan is really young and promising. He reminds me of an old friend who also had his own company at a young age and was also a director."
After reading the information, Yuzuru Nagayama knew who it was. He was the famous film industry tycoon who almost married Chiyoko Tsukage, Jun Miyano.
Yuzuru Nagayama asked curiously.
"Ms. Yueying, can you tell me why you finally refused to get married to Mr. Jun Miyano? You were already engaged at that time. According to your experience, you partnered with him in your first movie when you entered the industry at the age of 15, and we often worked together afterwards."
Chiyoko Tsukikage and the shadow both showed nostalgic expressions.
"The past is like smoke. I can only say that he is not the one he has been pursuing, or that I am not his ideal match. By the way, Mr. Yongshan, did you bring that thing with you?"
Yuzuru Nagayama did not respond immediately, but used his Dharma Eye to keep observing the old man in front of him. When the other party was recalling the past, a strange power in his body actually fluctuated.
After a few seconds, still under the other party's expectant gaze, he took out the gift box and placed it on the table.
Chiyoko Yukie picked up the gift box and slowly opened it, her eyes filled with joy at having regained what she had lost.
“Never thought I’d be able to pick it up again.”
There was only an old key lying in the box, looking ordinary. Many curious people speculated that this key could open the treasure house where Chiyoko Tsukikage kept her wealth.
Yuzuru Nagayama frowned slightly, because with the appearance of the key, the energy fluctuations in the other party's body became more intense, and the shadow girl above his head also changed significantly. At the beginning, the girl was also lost in memories, and then her expression became anxious. When the main body picked up the key, she wanted to stop it, but unfortunately she was powerless and could only make the sound that Yuzuru Nagayama heard.
"Da-me (No)"
A strange force erupted and spread from Yukie Chiyoko's body, followed by a flash of white light, as if pulling them into a strange space. The room was still as furnished as before and seemed normal, but the windows and doors were all white, like a strange world.
Kurosawa Takeshi was so frightened when he saw this scene that he paralyzed on the spot, rubbing his eyes and thinking he had seen it wrong. Nagayama Yuzuru was extremely solemn, not only was his situation unclear, but even the shadow of the girl had disappeared.
Tsukikage Chiyoko became even stranger at this moment, and felt different from when they first met.
Well, Yuzuru Nagayama now admits that he was indeed arrogant, thinking that with his strength he could go anywhere in the world.
There was a brief silence in the room. Chiyoko Tsukikage seemed not to notice anything unusual. She put away the key and spoke softly.
"It's almost time to start the interview. I hope you two can stay for a quick meal after we're done."
Kurosawa Takeshi didn't care about that at the moment, but the two people sitting there didn't seem to notice that they were unusually calm. Just as he was about to open his mouth to remind them, Nagayama Yuzuru interrupted.
"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything. Just continue recording."
"Oh ok, ok."
With a backbone, Kurosawa Takeshi turned on the lights and continued recording. Tsukikage Chiyoko on the opposite side ignored each other and began to tell her own life story.
"My birth was like exchanging my father's life for mine."
Chiyoko Tsukage was born on the day of the Great Kanto Earthquake that took away her father. Fortunately, the mother and daughter depended on each other for food and clothing thanks to the shop left by her father, and she was able to grow up in peace.
In that chaotic era, extreme poverty was everywhere around her, but she didn't care about that. As a young girl, she cared more about girls' magazines until she was 15 years old.
Chiyoko Yukie closed her eyes and seemed to be back in the past.
"I don't know why the chairman of Toei was attracted to an ordinary little girl like me and insisted on having me act in the film. But my mother thought that being an actor was not a serious job and only wanted me to inherit the family business and take care of my husband and children."
Yuzuru Nagayama is also aware of this historical fact. In the early days, movies were considered improper, just like ancient actors. This change gradually occurred with the development of the times, and is now sought after by the whole world.
At this moment, a strange male voice full of majesty sounded in the house.
"Madam, your daughter made this movie for the country. Do you think inheriting a candy store can be compared to contributing to the country?"
Yuzuru Nagayama turned his head and saw an old man in an old suit arguing with the man. Soon, a strange female voice talking to the man was heard.
"Of course. When it comes to serving the country, women have fulfilled their responsibilities by protecting their families and bearing children. Don't you think so?"
These words left the old man speechless. What a good trick to defeat magic.
Turning her head back again, she saw a middle-aged woman sitting next to Tsukikage Chiyoko. Tsukikage Chiyoko had turned into a young girl at this time, wearing a sailor schoolgirl uniform from decades ago. Her innocent face looked at the two people who were talking with both nervousness and worry.
"."
Nagayama Yuzuru almost stood up. In the principal's office, the confrontation between the chairman of Toei and Chiyoko Tsukikage's mother, was this a re-enactment of Chiyoko Tsukikage's memories? At this moment, no one told him the answer, and even Kurosawa Takeshi was afraid and leaned against him.
Soon, Chiyoko Tsukikage couldn't stand the atmosphere and took her coat and ran away. Nagayama Yuzuru, who was in the room, saw the two imaginary characters still arguing, so he chased after them with Kurosawa Takeshi. Kurosawa Takeshi couldn't figure out the situation at this time and asked in panic.
"Boss, this is us."
"Just think of this as a ghost wall. Just follow me and you'll be fine."
"Oh well."
When the two pushed open the door, they saw the old-time streets covered in snow. Chiyoko Tsukikage was sulking and throwing snowballs. As she calmed down a little, she began to walk on the street, kicking away a pile of snow. At the same time, the sky began to be dyed with the color of sunset, just like the girl's thoughts.
Suddenly, a man rushed out from behind and knocked the girl down. He was wearing a black coat and a hat so that one could not see his eyes clearly, and he was holding a picture frame in his arms.
The man saw that he had bumped into someone, so he held out his hand and apologized. "I'm really sorry, I didn't notice anyone was there."
The girl looked up and made eye contact with the man, whose tired eyes were full of sincerity. Finally, she accepted the man's apology and was pulled up, and the young girl and the strange man met. At this time, Kurosawa Takeshi, who was carrying a camera, suddenly sighed.
“The scene has the atmosphere.”
"."
Even Yuzuru Nagayama is speechless. He is still focusing on the movie in this situation. He is indeed a genius director.
At this moment, the sound of officials chasing the man came from a distance, and the man immediately ran towards the woods nearby. Soon a group of officials appeared beside the girl and asked if she had seen the suspect.
Chiyoko Tsukikage lowered her head and dared not look at the two serious adults. When she found the bloodstains left by the man under her feet, she made a bold decision. She stepped on the bloodstains with her foot and pointed to the other side of the road and said.
"Where did he run to?"
"."
Nagayama and Yuzuru were surprised. This was too bold. If they were discovered, they would be convicted of harboring a criminal.
The story of the past continued. After seeing the pursuers leave, Chiyoko Tsukikage trotted to the woods where the man was hiding and took out her silk scarf to bandage him.
She thought the other person was a gentle person, and in the end she even took the man to hide in her own warehouse.
Fine snow dotted the sky, and Yuzuru Nagayama, who was following behind him, suddenly changed his expression because he noticed that the man seemed to glance at them. From the time they entered until now, everyone treated them as air, even the protagonist Chiyoko Tsukikage.
The sky darkened rapidly on the snowy day. In the warehouse, Chiyoko Tsukikage wanted to see the painting frame, but the man politely refused, saying that the painting had not been started yet and he wanted to wait until he returned to his hometown before starting.
In response to the girl's curiosity, he began to describe the scenery of her hometown.
“My hometown is in the north. Every winter, it is covered with endless white snow that stretches to the horizon. I want to set up my easel there and finish this painting while feeling the biting cold. Once I am in that vast and white landscape, I will feel like I am on an incredible and distant planet.”
The girl listened to the other party's description and fell into fantasy. She also hoped to be in such an environment. Standing in the endless snow, she couldn't help but reveal a look of anticipation and intoxication.
"I really want to go there too."
The man smiled slightly.
"By the way, in return, I will invite you to be my guest when I return."
Just a simple sentence made the girl suddenly show a shy expression, which made Kurosawa Takeshi excited instantly.
"A girl's shy feelings are such a precious thing."
Yuzuru Nagayama instantly held down the crazy guy. The more he looked at the man, the more suspicious he seemed.
At this time, the man and the girl in the warehouse were talking about their pursuits. He wanted to make the country a better place so that everyone could have enough food to eat. This ambition even touched the girl a little.
Soon the moon was hanging in the sky. Seeing this, the girl had no choice but to leave the warehouse and go home. If she went back too late, her mother and the housekeeper would be worried. At this moment, there were only three of them left in the warehouse.
The only sound in the silent warehouse was the rattling of mice, and suddenly the man spoke.
"It's our first meeting, could you please stop staring at me?"
"."
Kurosawa Takeshi showed a surprised expression for a moment.
"You actually saw us, why couldn't anyone else see it."
The man turned his head, his light red pupils were particularly conspicuous.
"Anyone can see you if they want."
"Who are you? You should not belong to her memory."
In response to Nagayama Yuzuru's question, the corners of the man's mouth suddenly raised, as if he was mocking or showing off.
"You know, her taste is absolutely rare in the world. I can't wait to taste it."
The pervert's comments received no response.
"boom"
A thunder exploded the warehouse, and when the smoke and dust cleared, only Yuzuru Nagayama and Takeshi Kurosawa were left holding Yang Lei. The man's figure had long disappeared, and Yuzuru Nagayama's mouth revealed a ferocious look, and he muttered to himself.
"Then let's see who can have the last laugh."
Kurosawa Takeshi looked at the boss who controlled Thunder and became even more confused. What was going on? First he appeared in a strange world, and then the boss didn't look like a human. Could it be that the future film master had come here?
Soon the night passed and turned into day, and Chiyoko Tsukikage even went to school with a girlish mind, but something unexpected happened after school.
There was blood residue in the snow on the roadside. The towel she used to wrap herself last night and the man's key fell in the snow. This key must be the one that Yuzuru Nagayama brought. The girl hurried back to the warehouse and was frightened by the scene inside. She saw a group of officials surrounding the warehouse. The master was explaining everything, saying that a bad guy hid in the warehouse last night and was discovered and left early this morning.
When the old butler discovered Chiyoko Tsukikage, he looked worried and hugged the girl who was like his granddaughter, and spoke softly.
"He's waiting for you at the train station. If you don't hurry up you'll never see him again."
If you don't like this part, you can skip to chapter 155 and read it again. It won't have much impact.
