Chikako finished explaining.
Ota Satoru and Kakutani Hiroki suddenly realized.
"Is that so?"
If other factors are excluded.
The essence of this matter is that Ayako and Chikako spent 20 million yen to buy the entire copyright of Dunzi's "Sky Color Country".
That's reasonable!
It turned out that Ayako and Chikako were not plagiarists, but Atsuko benefited a lot.
Twenty million yen!
You know, even if Zhijiazi now has the title of Best Newcomer Screenplay Award, a work can't sell much at all!
What's more, it's Atsuko who is still unknown in the university. To be honest, the 2 million she proposed is a bit high. If Ayako can give 20 million yen, it's really charity!
"impossible!"
Takahashi Ryoichi couldn't accept the fact of reversal!
The reason he had been persuading himself in his heart suddenly became particularly ridiculous, and he said from a distance as if grabbing the last straw:
"If it's like what you said, why did Atsuko commit suicide? And it was the night before Chikako won the Newcomer Award? Why didn't she tell me, why didn't I know all this!?"
"this--"
Xia Ye suddenly interjected from the side:
"Is there a possibility that your relationship has not reached the level where people tell you everything?"
"Look, you don't even know the family situation of Atsuko's family. She only told Chikako and Ayako about the big problem in their factory. Obviously, she is not a friend who talks about everything with you, but It's normal and Common's club partner, you think you have a good relationship, but you misunderstood?"
"Xia Ye!"
Sonoko held back a smile and pouted Xia Ye's waist.
Xia Ye is too venomous, these few words are probably more lethal to Ryoichi Takahashi than his aunt and Zhijiazi Balabala who didn't say so many words at 14 and a half.
After all, Atsuko supported his belief in revenge, now tell him that Atsuko only treats him as a Common friend, and it's no wonder he doesn't collapse!
Just like Sonoko thought.
Ryoichi Takahashi's faith collapsed, Xia Ye's cruel but true words tore up the lies he had lied to himself, and made him panic instantly.
"Yes, Takahashi!"
In this way, Satoshi Ota and Hiroki Kakutani also sprinkled salt on their wounds, and Satoshi Ota laughed at himself and said:
"In our club, we guys have a good relationship. Atsuko knows Kako and Ayako and they often play together~"
"Speaking of it, we are indeed friends in the club, and we have experienced unforgettable college days together, but if we have such a good relationship that we can talk about everything—well, at least there is no such relationship between you and Atsuko!"
Kakutani Hiroki followed Ota Satoshi's words and continued to pierce his heart:
"That's right, this is a relationship that everyone can see. Why, Takahashi, do you think Dunzi is special to you?"
"wrong!"
Takahashi Ryo widened his eyes and made the last struggle:
"Atsuko showed me her most precious work, which is the original manuscript that she has not released, and she will not show it to ordinary people!"
"that--"
Suzuki Ayako's voice was faint.
The tone is exactly the same as that of Xia Ye just now:
"Is there a possibility that Atsuko showed me and Zhijiazi before showing "The Kingdom of Color in the Sky" to you?"
"And she also asked if we should show it to other members of the club, but Zhijiazi persuaded her, Kakutani played with his precious video camera all day long, and Ota was handsome all day long, the two of them should not be interested in the script, only Takahashi You are interested in these, so Atsuko showed you!"
"Tomokako..."
"Isn't it a little too much to say that you are a friend?"
Kakutani Hiroki looked at Chikako, with his arms outstretched:
"Actually, I still read some books sometimes!"
"That's right, how can I be so handsome!"
Satoshi Ota flicked his long hair over his shoulders and said narcissistically:
"I'm really handsome, okay?"
Zhijiazi didn't bother to talk to them at all, she wasn't in that mood!
Ryoichi Takahashi lowered his head, exuding a gloomy and depressing atmosphere. It turned out that even the script he thought was the most special was read after others, and the person he wanted to kill suggested Atsuko to show it to him. How embarrassing he was!
but--
"wrong!"
Takahashi Ryoichi raised his head suddenly.
What came to mind and asked:
"Why did Atsuko commit suicide on the eve of Chikako's "Blue Kingdom" winning the Newcomer Screenplay Award? If their family's problems are resolved, she would have no reason to commit suicide!"
"so----"
Suzuki Ayako sighed and said helplessly:
"I said, Takahashi, you don't understand the situation at all. You are making up everything by yourself. If you had asked Zhijiazi yourself before you wanted to kill her, or you had asked me, today's incident would never have happened. Why don't you ask!?"
"oh!"
Ryoichi Takahashi was at a loss for words.
His face was gray and defeated, and his whole body was crumbling.
"Ayako, why would Atsuko?"
Kakutani Hiroki looked at Takahashi Liang carefully, and asked the same question in his heart.
"Why!"
Suzuki Ayako looked regretful:
"The 20 million yen was indeed enough for Atsuko's family to compensate the workers, but after the compensation, their factory was ordered to stop work for rectification, and the career that Atsuko's parents had worked so hard for all their lives was wiped out, and they felt desperate, so Atsuko asked for leave I went home to take care of my parents’ funeral, and then I—”
"We don't even know!"
Ota Satoshi blamed himself a little, he didn't find anything wrong with Atsuko at that time.
Now he remembered that Atsuko left in a hurry during club activities, but after a few days, everyone received the news of her suicide!
"Atsuko didn't let me tell you~"
Suzuki Ayako pursed her lips and said:
"She said, letting you know about these things will only increase your troubles, but I didn't expect that at that time she would have the idea of suicide!"
"On the night of her suicide, she sent a delayed email to Zhijiazi and me. The email didn't arrive until after Zhijiazi's awards ceremony ended the next day. We hurried to her house with Zhijiazi, but it was too late!"
"No wonder, her brother was the only relative at Dunzi's funeral. So—"
Kakutani Hiroki sighed, looked at Ayako again, and asked hesitantly:
"Ayako, can you tell me the content of the last email that Atsuko sent you? If it's a secret, forget it!"
Talk about this topic.
Xia Ye and Sonoko also raised their spirits.
They are also very curious.
Even the decadent Takahashi Ryoichi raised his head, after all, this is Atsuko's real last words, and he wants to hear it too!
Suzuki Ayako took out her mobile phone from her pocket and rummaged forward in the mailbox, and soon she found the email from that year, after a glance, she handed the mobile phone to Xia Ye beside her, and said with compassion:
"Xia Ye——
"Come and read it to everyone!"
Xia Ye took the phone and said seriously:
"good!"
"The original text of Atsuko's email is as follows—"
"Ayako, when you received this email, I was no longer in this world. Don't be sad for me. I just went to another world to find my parents. By the way, I know that my script is not good at all. It's worth 20 million yen, and it was all given to me by you, Ayako, who was kind-hearted and gave it to me for free. I was going to return it to you slowly after I prepared to work, but now I can't pay it back! But, Ayako, you are so rich, you shouldn't care It’s only 20 million (laughs), then—farewell forever, remember to shoot "Qing Guoguo" with Zhijiazi!"
After reading, Xia Ye returned the phone to Suzuki, smiled slightly and said:
"Although I haven't met this Miss Dunzi, I can feel from her words that she is a very serious and self-respecting girl. After receiving such a large sum of money, she still wants to pay it back. Such an Excellent girl ends up The ending is really sad~”
"Atsuko is indeed a good girl~"
Suzuki Ayako's light blue beautiful eyes showed a touch of reminiscence, and then looked at Chikako Ikeda, with a helpless look in her eyes:
"However, it's all because of what Atsuko wrote in the email, which makes me very troubled now. Zhijiazi knew that Atsuko wanted to return the money to me, so she said that in the end Atsuko's work was placed on her head, and the money was paid. It's up to her to pay it back, so she insisted on taking the 20 million to herself, she clearly knows that I don't mind at all!"
"Chikako?"
Kakutani Hiroki looked at Chikako in surprise.
Unexpectedly, in order to fulfill Atsuko's wish, she would quietly take on a huge debt of 20 million yen!
In contrast——
Takahashi who didn't even understand the situation and was going to kill him——it's really hard to describe!
Of course, the person involved, Takahashi Ryoichi, had already collapsed after listening to Atsuko's email just now, his eyes were dull, and he was muttering something in his mouth.
Facing everyone's admiring eyes, Ikeda Chikako's face was still cold, she frowned and said:
"How can I say that "The Country of Blue Colors" is also adapted from "The Country of Colors in the Sky". Because of Atsuko's request, "The Country of Blue Colors" didn't even have her name signed. If you think it should be returned to Ayako, then I should return it!"
"Chikako, you really are!"
Satoshi Ota couldn't help but gave Chikako a thumbs up, and thought about it for a while. He felt that if it were him, he might not do such a thing at all. In this way, Chikako's behavior is even more admirable!
"correct!"
Kadotani Hiroki suddenly thought of an important message in Atsuko's email just now, and he said in surprise:
"It was written in Atsuko's last email that Ayako 983 and Zhijiazi must make "The Blue Kingdom", that is to say, "The Blue Kingdom" adapted from "The Sky-Colored Kingdom" has always been real to Atsuko? "
"Is that weird?"
Suzuki Ayako finally showed a smile:
"At that time, when Zhijiazi was revising "The Kingdom of Color in the Sky", Atsuko was still helping out with ideas!"
"After the modification, she still named the new script "The Kingdom of Blue". She said that there is an old saying in the country of planting flowers that "blue comes from blue and is better than blue". The sky is blue, which is more powerful than "The Kingdom of Sky Color". It's "The Cyan Kingdom"!"
Does it even have such a meaning?
Even Xia Ye, who is a flower grower, did not expect that there is such a connection between the names of these two works. He didn’t even discover this. It’s a waste of memorizing hundreds of ancient poems and dozens of classical Chinese essays when he was a child!
"Can you explain it that way?"
Kakutani Hiroki opened his mouth wide, you literary girls really know how to play, you can even play with names, amazing!
"certainly!"
Suzuki Ayako smiled slightly:
"Atsuko named "The Blue Kingdom", and it was the original work, and she participated in the adaptation and refinement, but she firmly opposed to putting her name in the list of creators, so whether it is the script or the movie of "The Blue Kingdom", everyone Atsuko's name is not written, but the main two"
"Just what?"
Ota Satoshi hurriedly asked.
"only--"
Suzuki Ayako is a little proud:
"Atsuko's last wish is to let "The Blue Kingdom" be released. The movie finally came out. How could Chikako and I forget Atsuko's name, Kakutani, Ota, do you remember the special thanks at the end of the movie?"
"Of course I remember!"
Hiroki Kakutani and Satoshi Ota looked at each other, and said speechlessly: "That special thank you took up the whole screen, so conspicuous, and it's an unfamiliar name, how could we not remember it! But how did we ask you and Chikako at that time, you guys Don’t even want to tell us, don’t you—”
"That's right!"
Suzuki Ayako smiled and said:
"You guys change that name into katakana, then flip it over and read it~"
"let me see!"
Kadotani Hiroki reorganized the name according to Suzuki Ayako's prompt and finally came up with three characters:
To Atsuko!.
