Master of Chinese Opera

Chapter 230 Cultural Confidence
"Hello, Captain Shen, I, Takashi Kameda, is currently the deputy director of the Foreign Exchange Bureau of the Cultural Department of Yingzhou Science and Technology Province. He is mainly responsible for the reception of your trip. Welcome the Huaxia Opera Cultural Exchange Group to visit Yingzhou."

There were more than 40 Yingzhou officials who came to pick up the plane this time. The leader was 56-[-] years old, not tall, with a mustache, wearing round-frame glasses, and ordinary-looking. language.

"Hello, Mr. Kameda, it's a great honor for me and my colleagues in the Chinese opera circle to come to Yingzhou to perform."

Going forward to shake hands with Takashi Kameda, Shen Yuelou immediately greeted him in Chinese.

In fact, after several months of hard study, Shen Yuelou has already spoken Yingzhou dialect very fluently.

However, in such a more formal occasion of foreign affairs, he felt that it would be more solemn to speak Chinese.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I didn't expect Mr. Shen to be so young.

The appearance is also the same..., beautiful!

Even compared with Mr. Tamasaburo Sakato, he is not inferior. "

Kameda Takashi sighed, and when he shook hands with Shen Yuelou, his eyes couldn't help flashing a fiery and anxious look.

This gloomy expression flashed by, but was captured by Shen Yuelou.

When he entered the dream virtual space before, when he possessed Mei Lanfang and Cheng Yanqiu, he saw this kind of eyes too much.

Fortunately, Takashi Kameda just had a dirty mind, and he didn't dare to show it on this occasion.

Gently stroking Shen Yuelou's jade hand, Kameda Takashi immediately said to Han Zaifen and others behind Shen Yuelou: "We have already arranged the residence of your delegation, everyone, please get in the car.

When you settle down, Mr. Akai will come over to discuss with you the schedule of performances in the future. "

"Oh, okay, then Mr. Kameda will be here."

After bowing his hands and thanking Kameda Takashi, Shen Yuelou immediately led the members of the Huaxia opera cultural exchange delegation to board the car arranged by the Yingzhou Cultural Hall.

When riding in the same car, Shen Yuelou deliberately kept a distance from Takashi Kameda.

The convoy moved slowly and drove all the way to the Kyoto State Guest House.

The Kyoto State Guesthouse is located in Akasaka Castle in the central area of ​​Kyoto, adjacent to the Palace Palace of Yingzhou Crown Prince Jiashan. It covers an area of ​​about [-] square meters and has always been used by Yingzhou officials to receive top foreign guests.

However, although this state guesthouse is known as a national treasure building in Yingzhou, its architectural style is not the local characteristics of Yingzhou, but completely imitates the Baroque style of Western European palaces.

The imitation prototypes are Versailles Palace and Buckingham Palace in the West.

Naturally, the Huaxia opera cultural exchange delegation did not live in the presidential suite of the Kyoto State Guesthouse, which was used to receive top dignitaries from various countries, but being able to arrange to live in the Kyoto State Guesthouse was already considered a very high reception standard.

Walking into the Kyoto State Guest House, you can see the arched window frames, exquisitely carved pillars, rolling lawns, and the [-]-kilogram giant crystal chandelier in the hall, marble murals, "Jinhua Mountain Weaving", "Seven Treasure Burning" Such as traditional Japanese art, etc., it is really luxurious.

When leading Shen Yuelou and others to visit the Kyoto State Guesthouse, Takashi Kameda did not forget to help explain with pride: "This Akasaka State Guesthouse was built 110 years ago by the great architect of Yingzhou, Tokuma Katayama. It took ten years and 510 million won to build it.

Of course, the 500 million yingyuan at that time, converted into today, is at least about 1000 billion yingyuan.

At that time, Master Katayama built the palace for the purpose of serving as the residence of the crown prince, but after it was completed, Emperor Meiji felt that the palace was too luxurious to live in, so he changed it to welcome guests.

The Head of State of Saudi Arabia has been received here, please see, there is also an inscription of the Tsar here,..."

When Kameda Takashi introduced the history of Akasaka State Guesthouse, he was looking forward to seeing the shocked, admired and admired eyes of the members of the Chinese Opera Cultural Exchange Delegation.

In fact, many members of the opera exchange group were indeed shocked by the exquisiteness and luxury of this palace, including Han Zaifen and Yu Zhenfei who were also slightly touched.

After all, the luxurious palace with a cost of hundreds of billions of yingyuan, a century-old history and the collection of the top craftsmanship in Yingzhou at that time is indeed worthy of admiration.

However, Shen Yuelou's expression was very flat, as if these "little gadgets" couldn't arouse his interest at all.

"Mr. Shen, what do you think of the construction of our Akasaka State Guesthouse?"

Hearing Kameda Takashi's words, and seeing the displeasure and doubt on his face, Shen Yuelou immediately knew what was going on.

My own reaction was too flat, and it hit people's self-esteem and enthusiasm.

This Akasaka State Guesthouse is the facade of Yingzhou Building, which is even more luxurious and magnificent than the palace where Emperor Eizhou Shogawa currently lives. Seeing Shen Yuelou's negligent attitude, Takashi Kameda was naturally very displeased.

Even if I have a good impression of him, how could he despise my culture of Dayingzhou so much.

In fact, Shen Yuelou didn't do it on purpose. Unlike actors such as Han Zaifen and Yu Zhenfei, he had actually seen the inner courtyard of the Huaxia Imperial Palace. When filming "The Last Emperor", he was lucky enough to live there for more than two months.

Compared with the Imperial Palace and Forbidden City, which has accumulated a thousand years of dynasty heritage in China, this Yingzhou Akasaka State Guesthouse is not even a younger brother, so why is it so delusional to win Shen Yuelou's amazement.

After hearing, seeing, and feeling, Shen Yuelou replied truthfully: "It's not bad, it's really luxurious."

Luxuriousness is luxurious enough, but it is not a local cultural characteristic of Yingzhou. Taking this western-style building as a national treasure building and facade of Yingzhou shows that the humility of Yingzhou people is engraved in their bones.

okay?that's all?Such a frivolous and perfunctory evaluation!
Feeling depressed, Takashi Kameda couldn't help but looked at Shen Yuelou sullenly and asked, "May I ask Commander Shen, does Huaxia have a palace comparable to our Akasaka State Hotel?"

comparable to?

If it is comparable, taking out the Imperial Palace and the Forbidden City is already a big compliment to the Akasaka State Guesthouse.

The former site of Yongwang Mansion and the box office of Jiyunzhai are enough to make this state guesthouse pale in comparison.

"Mr. Kameda, this is the box office of Yanjing Jiyunzhai, where fanciers gather.

What do you think of the craftsmanship of this loft?
The building is three storeys high, about 12 meters high, with a mortise and tenon structure for load bearing, and no nails are used in the entire attic. "

Needless to say, I went directly to the picture above, and showed Takashi Kameda the building of the Jiyunzhai box office that I took at random, which immediately aroused Takashi Kameda's amazement.

Ingenious workmanship!
Magnificent, beautiful and strong, with a unique style, this is not a well-known building in China, but just a place where a group of opera lovers gather to buy tickets.
