【Fuji Tsuka】On how to fall in love when two people are seamless

After the party that night, Fuji began to be fully busy with the promotion of Tezuka's "Light Year".

The effect of the live broadcast was very good, and Atobe wished for a few more episodes, but it was a pity that Tezuka rejected them all.

Fuji contacted Tezuka for in-depth interviews with many newspapers and magazines, and personally communicated with each reporter on the topics and details of the interviews to ensure that each interview can show different aspects of news and depth of facts.

Tezuka was used to doing similar interviews, so he wasn't too repulsed.

Manager Marlin arranged for Tezuka several endorsements and commercial shootings, some of which were even assigned by the national level and the Olympic Organizing Committee. No athlete could refuse, so for half a month, Tezuka was extremely busy.

Fuji often goes to see Tezuka at the scene of filming and interviews. Every time he sees him silent or talking under the spotlight, he will express his sadness for the reporters who interviewed him. Tezuka’s aura is so strong that The entire interview can always be led around by his Tezuka Teru, he has arranged everything and mastered everything, like the eye of the hurricane in the center, where there is clearly a strong wind and rainstorm, but he himself is calm and calm.

Sometimes Fuji can't help but wonder, what kind of existence is Fuji Shusuke, is he also a flying sand or a walking stone in his Tezuka domain?

The time came to mid-September step by step, and the Tokyo Olympics was completely over, but the Japanese media carried out a carnival that lasted for half a month after that. Sixteen groups of athletes who won the championship gold medal for Japan gathered together, and used various methods of live broadcast, recording and broadcasting to celebrate the outstanding achievements of Japanese athletes in the Olympic Games.

Tezuka must have been in this program plan, and he was arranged for a large-scale live broadcast, just the day before the release of his new book "Light Years".

It was a sunny day in Tokyo that day, the blue sky was clear and cloudless, and the temperature was much higher than in the same period.

Fuji did not go to watch Tezuka’s live TV broadcast, because he had to go to the office building of the Atobe Foundation in Shinjuku to check the status of the new book release, and then he arranged a work line for himself—based on his previous publishing experience, he chose a few in Tokyo. The most influential bookstore visit.He had to go shopping, check the posting of the new book posters, confirm the progress of the new book out of stock, and contact the bookstore's marketing department counterparts.

When Fuji arrived in Shinjuku, Shinobu and Atobu were not in the office. They were so busy recently that Fuji didn’t even have a chance to ask them about their relationship status. A colleague from 107 Publishing House introduced Fuji Released the progress of the distribution, and gave him a plastic-enclosed sample booklet.

Fuji hadn't had the energy to care about the printing of physical books before, but now he has touched the cover of the finished product, and he is very relieved. I think Ninzu Yushi always strives for perfection in everything he does, and Atobu will not give him a chance to be lazy.

The sample booklet is so beautiful, and every word on the girdle is the perfect result of Buer's painstaking efforts.Tezuka's resolute side face on the book cover is a miraculous appearance of light and shadow magic rendered by four-color ink.

Bu Er smelled the brand new ink coming out of the plastic package, and he was even a little reluctant to open it.Putting the sample book in his camera bag, he bid farewell to his colleagues in 107 Publishing House and started to visit various bookstores.

It was noon on a Saturday, and when Fuji came to the streets of Shinjuku, he was fortunate enough to enjoy the gentleness from the warm sunshine.

He was walking towards the largest bookstore in Shinjuku, passing a department store, and unexpectedly ran into girls who gathered in the plaza to make a commotion.

Buer stopped and wanted to find out, but when he looked up, he couldn't help but laugh.

It turned out that the big screen outside the department store was playing a live broadcast of Tezuka Kunimitsu produced by the TV station.

It was a talk show, and Tezuka was interviewed as the main guest. At the same time, some artists and stars who had publicly expressed their appreciation for Tezuka were invited to do the effect together, and even two friends from Tezuka's professional network circle were invited.

Bu Er put his face in meditation, wondering if he was invited to this show, it seemed that there was such a thing, but he rejected it.

On the screen, after playing many video recordings of Tezuka's games when he was young, the hostess made a lot of witty remarks, and began to ask Tezuka a series of questions, chasing after him.

The hostess asked him about his love from his games, his arms to his hobbies, his deer to his cats, those questions were so detailed that he suspected that the hostess was a female spy .

The female fans in front of the building screamed following Tezuka’s answer from time to time. They hugged each other in twos and threes, bouncing up and down excitedly. Looking at them, they thought it was much more interesting than watching TV, so they simply stopped and joined them. Appreciate it.

More and more people gathered in the square, and when Buer came to his senses, the front, back, left, and right sides were already crowded with people, and even the way out was blocked.

Suddenly, the hostess asked about Tezuka's next career plan. She said that it is well known that Tezuka planned to challenge for consecutive Grand Slam achievements within one year two years ago. Conventionally, this supreme honor has not been achieved by a male tennis player since 1969.

Tezuka nodded briefly, and answered yes, that is indeed a great challenge, and it is also the dream of every professional tennis player.

The hostess said with staring eyes: "Although you gave up the challenge because of injuries that year, will you still challenge that achievement after that?"

The host asked a question, and the crowd started to commotion, but Buer felt something was wrong, and frowned in disapproval.

Tezuka took the question cautiously, but didn't answer right away.

He suddenly looked at one of the cameras, and the director immediately cut to the screen of that camera, so Tezuka faced the camera, the thousands of spectators behind the camera, and one of the thousands of people in Shinjuku Square. .

Buer's heart began to beat drums.

With a deep voice, Tezuka saluted the camera cautiously and solemnly.

He replied.

"Thank you for expecting me, however, the reality is the opposite."

Tezuka Kunimitsu's eyes were hot, like an eternal dream on a flat tennis court.

"Because of my elbow injury and my own further pursuit of tennis in Japan, I am planning to retire and end my own professional tennis career."

"————————————!!!!"

"what?!!!"

"Retired?!!?!?"

In an instant, thousands of people, including the entertainers and hosts on the screen, thought that something bad happened to their ears and heard some strange words.

Tezuka Kunimitsu, is he going to retire?

At the age of 28, he is in the limelight. At the peak of his strength, the number one Asian tennis player actually wants to announce his retirement within a month after he just completed his professional tennis Grand Slam award?

How can this be? !

How can this happen? !

"Retire..." The female anchor in the live broadcast room couldn't even utter a complete sentence, "You just said, retire...retire..."

Tezuka realized the explosive results this news would bring, and he helped the hostess out of the siege.

"I'm thinking about it. As for when to officially retire, I still need to discuss with my agent and sponsors who have supported me all the way before I can get an answer." Tezuka tried to comfort the hostess with his eyes, "It's just that my agent and supporters , most of them have the same idea, judging by the long and irreversible injury of my left hand, I am afraid that the time to retire will not be too far away."

"what------"

Suddenly, someone in the crowd in the square in Shinjuku let out an extremely tragic cry.

On the big screen, Tezuka was still talking, but Fuji could no longer hear him.

Loud cries and screams were mixed in the crowd, accompanied by the panicked comments of passers-by, even Buer was a little panicked.

He desperately, desperately squeezed closer to the screen.

The hostess seemed to have finally recovered her voice, suppressing her surprise and continuing to host the live broadcast.

"Tezuka-kun is really amazing." The hostess calmed down her heartbeat, and continued to ask: "Your injury has confirmed that we are all very worried. But you just said that you have further pursuit of the Japanese tennis career, please ask us How to understand this further pursuit?"

Tezuka nodded and replied: "That is a field that I have never had the energy to engage in, but as early as my student days, I wanted to promote similar reforms in the past, in order to better train young Japanese tennis players. More frequent competitions will be held between colleges and universities, better tennis facilities will be renovated and built, the amount of scholarships for tennis special students will be increased, and even professional tennis education bases will be established.”

As always, Tezuka began to be as eloquent as he talked about his tennis vision.

"I have always hoped that through the efforts of myself or a generation, tennis will no longer be a noble sport or a pastime for the rich in the hearts of the people. In fact, tennis, like football and basketball, can enter the culture of young people. Then, The more ambitious goal is that every Japanese does not reject tennis into their lives, try to swing the racket, and try to create a unique tennis culture that belongs to Japan."

After Tezuka finished speaking, he nodded politely to the host, and saluted like the audience in front of the TV.

"So, even if I know that retiring is a little willful, I will still choose. Indeed. I can also choose to maintain a very low game frequency to maintain my career as a professional tennis player, but I am not willing to do this. I am willing to choose to always play tennis. Work hard for the tennis cause in Japan, in various ways rather than being a single tennis player." Tezuka stood up and bowed ninety degrees to the camera again.

"So, I hope I can get full understanding from you in front of the TV."

As soon as the words fell, the whole of Shinjuku fell into boundless silence as if someone had cast a spell of silence.

Fuji still maintained the posture of moving forward just now, and suddenly after hearing this passage, he felt that he really had nothing to do with the man in the center of Tezuka's domain.

More and more people gathered towards the entrance of the department store, but they turned their heads and prepared to walk out against the flow of people.

The moment she turned around, the female host's voice was a little choked up, and she said, "Even Mr. Tezuka judged himself as capricious. Have you thought about it for a long time?"

Buer walked forward without looking back.

In the distance that Fuji cannot see, Tezuka said: "Yes, I have thought about it for about 14 years."

Bu Er suddenly stopped.

"It's been longer than your debut?" The hostess was surprised. "What happened at that time made you think so."

Tezuka was silent for two seconds, before speaking.

"At that time, I met a guy on the court."

Tezuka paused and continued.

"After that, I have been looking for myself, looking for a clear, free and complete self."

Tezuka's voice was amplified dozens of times along with the transmission of radio waves, echoing over Shinjuku.

Countless people are puzzled by the person Tezuka pointed at inexplicably.who's that person?The crowd was bewildered.But they didn't leave. Tezuka's voice was affectionate and gentle, like a net, which caught everyone, including Budu.

Standing there, he couldn't see Tezuka's face, as if they had been apart for the past 14 years.

He didn't leave either.

The hostess suddenly thought of the man Tezuka had confessed to in public, and her whole face turned pale. Since it is really inconvenient for the Japanese mass media to discuss the relationship between same-sex, the hostess could only ask roundaboutly: "Is that so? , is the person Tezuka-kun has been waiting for? It’s so wonderful. But I believe he will also be very reluctant to retire Tezuka and leave the tennis world. Doesn’t the other party always want to bear the pressure of your identity as a player?”

"No." Tezuka denied it succinctly. "He didn't interfere with any of my decisions. But because of that, he deserves it."

What Tezuka was still saying, sentence by sentence, caused more and more people to stop and watch on the streets of Shinjuku, and the crowd became denser and denser, even attracting the police to divert and disperse them.

beep—

Beep--

Sharp whistles sounded all around, and the crowd erupted into heated discussions, amidst the hysterical crying and screaming of the female fans.

Everything becomes unimportant.

Fuji slowly bent down, and on the busiest street in Tokyo, in the middle of the crowd, he leaned over and hugged himself.

He couldn't hear it anymore, he couldn't hear Tezuka's affectionate voice on the screen anymore.

There was a roar in his heart, like a series of trains carrying time and memories in his mind, the wheels ran over all his senses, and his heart ached.

He hugged his legs tightly, something in his arms pressed against his stomach, he opened his hands and saw the book hidden in his arms.

"Light Year", biography of Tezuka Kunimitsu.

Every word on the cover comes from Budu's painstaking efforts. He is neither familiar nor unfamiliar with this book.

Suddenly, Fuji remembered something, why for more than a month of printing, Ninzu and Atobe tried their best to prevent themselves from going to the printing factory to look at the color samples, even the original designer who was the most prone to printing mistakes was not allowed to come follow up.

Buer immediately understood that there should be something in the book, and they wanted to hide it from him.

With trembling hands, he let the busy and excited crowd move around him. He tore off the plastic cover of "Light Year" and touched the delicate paper texture on the cover.

Fuji opened "Light Year".

The first page was turned over, and behind it was a title page.

The title of the book "Light Year" was printed on the title page, and then the name of Tezuka Kunimitsu appeared, and the author, Fuji Shusuke.

After turning to the next page again, he finally saw it.

It was a pale yellow page, and before the text and table of contents, it was a message.

Buer greedily read every word above, as if he had never met before.

Yes, he didn't see it, he didn't read it, he didn't write it.

That's what Tezuka asked Shinozu to add to the publication alone.

On it, every word, every punctuation, is what Tezuka Kunimitsu wants to tell a certain person loudly, a message.

Fuji Shusuke finally cried.

Tears fell down the cheeks on the pages of the book, smudged the newly printed ink, wet the paper, and blurred the most sincere confession.

//

14 years, let me understand

Love is constantly climbing over the peak

After seeing all the truths and landscapes

still caring, the only one, not willing

I am very fortunate that in the fall of 15 years old

I choose to leave you on the tennis court

//

People come and go, the sun and the moon set.

Holding that book, Fuji Shusuke wept silently in the bustling world.

People are in a hurry, from south to north, from west to east.

Those who stay put have greater attachments in their hearts.

Fujisuke said so to himself.

"Ne, Tezuka. Are you ready to use your whole life to repay the price for making me so miserable?"
