Queer Women in Qing China: Chen Yun & Han Yuan in Six Records of a Floating Life
(Pak Suet Sin as Chen Yun (left) and Yam Kim Fai as Shen Fu (right) in Madam Yun, dir. Chu Kea, 1960)
Despite being written by a relatively unremarkable man, Shen Fu's (沈復) Qing-era autobiography Six Records of a Floating Life (浮生六記) captured the public imagination for its depiction of an unusually loving married couple - namely the author and his wife Yun - and for being very sad, because the wife died young after a protracted battle with illness and poverty. Their tragic tale has inspired films, TV series, stage plays, Chinese operas, and musicals.
But for some reason (spoiler alert: it's homophobia), as far as I can tell (see note 2 below the cut), the derivative media all fail to mention that while Yun certainly loved Shen Fu, there was also someone else she loved-- a female courtesan named Han Yuan, whom she convinced her husband to take on as concubine. Although there are only a few references to Han Yuan throughout the book, her impact is outsize, making her absence from the various adaptations all the more glaring.
So let's try to rectify things, shall we? Extracted here are all the references to the relationship between Yun and Han Yuan contained in Six Records of a Floating Life - although I haven't included all the other nods to Yun's fruitiness, so do check out the book in full - click below!
Overview
The happily married Chen Yun falls for the female courtesan Han Yuan and the two soon become sworn sisters (see note 1 below). Then, to ensure they can remain together, she manages to persuade her husband to take the latter as his concubine despite his protestations that they cannot afford another mouth to feed. This turns out to have unfortunate consequences: Yun's in-laws, who she was already on thin ice with, are highly critical of the two women's relationship, and have the married couple expelled from the familial home. Further, while Yun and her husband are living elsewhere, a wealthy man pressures Han Yuan into leaving and becoming his wife instead. Yun falls into despair and the heartbreak causes her already-delicate condition to deteriorate, leading to her eventual demise.
Note 1: Sworn kinship is the most widely-available Chinese custom allowing for the formalisation of a relationship between individuals of the same gender, other than those specifically hierarchical in nature (e.g. adoption, godparents, mentorship, etc.). While not primarily romantic in association, there is certainly precedent for it: arguably the most famous Chinese love story, The Butterfly Lovers, focuses on the romance between a man and a cross-dressing woman who swore an oath of brotherhood. Even after the latter reveals that she is female, there are repeated references to their oath, and the man continues to refer to her using familial terms (賢弟/"worthy younger brother" is simply switched to 賢妹/"worthy younger sister").
Note 2: As far as I can tell, Han Yuan really does never come up in the various derivative works. However, there is some (mostly very mild) hinting regarding the in-laws' disapproval stemming in part from Yun's failure to conform to cishet norms; at least three of the adaptations from Hong Kong take as the flashpoint an incident where Yun dresses as a man in order to enjoy the Mid-Autumn festivities with her husband (see the GIF in the header) and is discovered, despite it not having had any negative consequences in the book. (There is such a cross-dressing scene in the 2021 Kunqu opera adaptation, but for some reason, in that version, Yun seems to have been on great terms with her in-laws and there was no disownment at all.) AFAIK the only adaptation that explicitly deals with Yun's queerness is the 1987 dance production from Hong Kong, wherein the disownment happens after a scene which I'll just describe as "the Mid-Autumn Festival incident, but as a boat ride which Yun turns into a threesome between herself, the boat-girl, and her husband". This actually pulls from the source material, as there is a somewhat suggestive episode involving a boatsman's daughter (this is a few pages before Han Yuan is introduced - I did say Yun was fruity)... but it's interesting that the creators decided to depict her queerness through a drunken one-night stand where she's dressed in male clothing (which was not the case in the original, though the boat-girl does still know she's a woman in this version), instead of committing to her much deeper relationship with Han Yuan.

Part I – The Joys of the Wedding Chamber
(p.48)
In the seventh month of the Chiayen year of the reign of the Emperior Chien Lung I returned from Yuehtung with my friend Hsu Hsiu-feng, who was my cousin’s husband. He brought a new concubine back with him, raving about her beauty to everyone, and one day he invited Yun to go and see her. Afterwards Yun said to Hsiu-feng, “She certainly is beautiful, but she is not the least bit charming.”
“If your husband were to take a concubine,” Hsiu-feng asked, “would she have to be charming as well as beautiful?”
“Naturally,” said Yun.
“From then on, Yun was obsessed with the idea of finding me a concubine, even though we had nowhere near enough money for such an ambition.
(p.49)
[The courtesan Leng-hsiang] had a daughter named Han-yuan, who, though not yet fully mature, was as beautiful as a piece of jade. Her eyes were as lovely as the surface of an autumn pond, and while they entertained us it became obvious that her literary knowledge was extensive. She had a younger sister named Wen-yuan who was still quite small.
At first I had no wild ideas and wanted only to have a cup of wine and chat with them. I well knew that a poor scholar like myself could not afford this sort of thing, and once inside I began to feel quite nervous. While I did not show my unease in my conversation, I did quietly say to Hsien-han “I’m only a poor fellow. How can you invite these girls to entertain me?”
Hsien-han laughed. “It’s not that way at all. A friend of mine had invited me to come and be entertained by Han-yuan today, but then he was called away by an important visitor. He asked me to be the host and invite someone else. Don’t worry about it.”
At that, I began to relax. Later, when our boat reached Pantang, I told Han-yuan to go aboard my mother’s boat and pay her respects. That was when Yun met Han-yuan and, as happy as old friends at a reunion, they soon set off hand in hand to climb the hill in search of all the scenic spots it offered. Yun especially liked the height and vista of Thousand Clouds, and they sat there enjoying the view for some time. When we returned to Yehfangpin, we moored the boats side by side and drank long and happily.
(p.50)
As the boats were being unmoored, Yun asked me if Han-yuan could return aboard hers, while I went back with Hsien-yan. To this, I agreed. When we returned to the Tuting Bridge we went back aboard our own boats and took leave of one another. By the time we arrived home it was already the third night watch.
“Today I have met someone who is both beautiful and charming,” said Yun. “I have just invited Han-yuan to come and see me tomorrow, so I can try to arrange things for you.”
“But we’re not a rich family,” I said, worried. “We cannot afford to keep someone like that. How could people as poor as ourselves dare think of such a thing? And we are so happily married, why should we look for someone else?”
“But I love her too,” Yun said, laughing. “You just let me take care of everything.”
The next day at noon, Han-yuan actually came. Yun entertained her warmly, and during the meal we played a game – the winner would read a poem, while the loser had to drink a cup of wine. By the end of the meal still not a word had been said about our obtaining Han-yuan.
As soon as she left, Yun said to me, “I have just made a secret agreement with her. She will come here on the 18th, and we will pledge ourselves as sisters. You will have to prepare animals for the sacrifice.”
Then, laughing and pointing to the jade bracelet on her arm, she said, “If you see this bracelet on Han-yuan’s arm then, it will mean she has agreed to our proposal. I have just told her my idea, but I am still not very sure what she thinks about it all.”
I only listened to what she said, making no reply.
It rained very hard on the 18th, but Han-yuan came all the same. She and Yun went into another room and were alone there for some time. They were holding hands when they emerged, and Han-yuan looked at me shyly. She was wearing the jade bracelet!
We had intended, after the incense was burned and they had become sisters, that we should carry on drinking. As it turned out, however, Han-yuan had promised to go on a trip to Stone Lake, so she left as soon as the ceremony was over.
“She has agreed,” Yun told me happily. “Now, how will you reward your go-between?” I asked her the details of the arrangement.
(p.51)
“Just now I spoke to her privately because I was afraid she might have another attachment. When she said she did not, I asked her, “Do you know why we have invited you here today, little sister?”
““The respect of an honourable lady like yourself makes me feel like a small weed leaning up a great tree,” she replied, “but my mother has high hopes for me, and I’m afraid I cannot agree without consulting her. I do hope, though, that you and I can think of a way to work things out.””
“When I took off the bracelet and put it on her arm I said to her, “The jade of this bracelet is hard and represents the constancy of our pledge; and like our pledge, the circle of the bracelet has not end. Wear it as the first token of our understanding.” To which she replied, “The power to unite us rests entirely with you.” So it seems as if we have already won over Han-yuan. The difficult part will be convincing her mother, but I will think of a plan for that.”
I laughed, and asked her, “Are you trying to imitate Li-weng’s Pitying the Fragrant Companion?”
“Yes,” she replied.
(Footnote 44 of Part 1, p.153)
The Lien Hsiang Pan, a play by Li Yu (1611-?1680). Li-weng was his literary name. Yun’s confirmation that she had this play in mind gives us our principal clue about just what her real relationship with Han-yuan may have been: the play tells the story of a young married woman who falls in love with a girl, and then obtains her as a concubine for her husband so the two women can be together. As van Gulik has pointed out, Imperial China regarded liaisons between women – as opposed to those between men – quite tolerantly. They did not by any means necessarily imply a lack of affection between such women and their husbands (R.H. van Gulik, Sexual Life in Ancient China, Humanities Press, 1974: he discusses female homosexuality on p.163, and the play itself on p.302, where he translates its title as Loving the Fragrant Companion.)
From that time on there was not a day that Yun did not talk about Han-yuan. But later Han-yuan was taken off by a powerful man, and all the plans came to nothing. In fact, it was because of this that Yun died.
Part III – The Sorrows of Misfortune
(p.76)
Yun had had the blood sickness ever since her younger brother Ko-chang had run away from home and her mother had missed him so much that she died of grief. Yun was so distraught she had fallen ill herself. From the time she met Han-yuan, she passed no blood for over a year, and I was delighted that Yun had found such a good cure in her friend, when Han-yuan was snatched away by an influential man who paid a thousand golds for her and also promised to take care of her mother. “The beauty belongs to Sha-shih-li!” I had learned of all this but had not dared to say anything to Yun, so she did not find out about it until one day when she went to see Han-yuan. She returned weeping, and said, “I had not thought Han’s feelings could be so shallow!”
“Your own feelings are too deep,” I said. “How can that sort of person be said to have feelings? Someone who is used to beautiful clothes and delicate foods could never grow accustomed to thorn hairpins and plain cloth dresses. It’s better that we should be unsuccessful now than to have her regret things later.”
I comforted her repeatedly, but having been so wounded Yun still suffered great discharges of blood. She was bedridden and did not respond to any treatment. She suffered relapses, and became so thin you could see her bones. After a few years the money we owed increased daily, and so did the gossip about us. And because she had pledged sisterhood with a sing-song girl, my parents’ scorn for Yun deepened daily.
(p.78)
[…] a messenger arrived. He had been sent by a woman who had been a sworn sister of Yun’s as a child, who had married a man named Hua from Hsishan, and who had heard of her illness and wanted to inquire after her.
My father, however, mistakenly thought he was a messenger from Han-yuan and so became even angrier, saying, “Your wife does not behave as a woman should, swearing sisterhood with a sing-song girl. Nor do you think to learn from your elders, running around with riff-raff. […]”
(p.79-80)
These were Yun’s parting instructions to our daughter: “Your mother has had a bitter fate and emotions that run too deep; therefore we have had many problems. Fortunately your father has been kind to me, and there is nothing to worry about in our leaving. […]”
(p.86)
I returned to find Yun moaning and weeping, looking as if something awful had happened. As soon as she saw me she burst out, “Did you know that yesterday noon [our servant] Ah Shuang stole all our things and ran away? I have asked people to search everywhere, but they still have not found him. […]”
(p.87)
[…] from then on she began frequently to talk in her sleep, calling out, “Ah Shuang has run away!” or “How could Han-yuan turn her back on me?” Her illness worsened daily.
Finally I was about to call a doctor to treat her, but she stopped me. “My illness began because of my terribly deep grief over my brother’s running away and my mother’s death,” said Yun. “It continued because of my affections, and now it has returned because of my indignation. I have always worried too much about things, and while I have tried my best to be a good daughter-in-law, I have failed.
These are the reasons why I have come down with dizziness and palpitations of the heart. The disease has already entered my vitals, and there is nothing a doctor can do about it. Please do not spend money on something that cannot help. […]”
[…]
(p.88)
Suddenly she fell silent and began to pant, her eyes staring into the distance. I called her name a thousand times, but she could not speak. Two streams of agonised tears flowed from her eyes in torrents, until finally her panting grew shallow and her tears dried up. Her spirit vanished in the mist and she began her long journey.
[…] Alas! Yun came to this world a woman, but she had the feelings and abilities of a man. After she entered the gate of my home in marriage, I had to rush about daily to earn our clothing and food, there was never enough, but she never once complained. When I was living at home, all we had for entertainment was talk about literature. What a pity that she should have died in poverty and after long illness. And whose fault was it that she did? It was my fault, what else can I say? I would advise all the husbands and wives in the world not to hate one another, certainly, but also not to love too deeply. As it is said, “An affectionate couple cannot grow old together”. My example should serve as a warning to others.

【新潟県謡曲古跡めぐり中越編】4箇所目 2021/6/28
能「松山鏡」「田村」
刑部屋敷
《 十日町市松之山中尾 》
越後国松之山に住む男は、妻の三回忌の命日に持仏堂へ向かう。すると、そこにいた自分の娘が何かを隠すので、世間の噂のとおり、新しく迎えた継母を呪詛しているのだと思い叱る。しかし隠したのは亡き母が遺した鏡で、娘は鏡の中に母の姿が見えると慕い泣く。鏡に映る自分の姿を母と信じていたのだ。
そこに、あまりの娘の心に感じて地獄から母の霊が戻って来、鏡にまつわる説話を語る。そのうち地獄から倶生神が現れ、母を連れ戻そうと鏡に娑婆での罪科が写っていると母に示すが、そこに写っていたのは菩薩の姿だった。娘の孝行心の故である。胸を打たれた倶生神は母を連れることなく、地獄へ戻っていったのだった。
大伴家持が特に越後に住んだ史実がある証拠は見当たりません。隣の越中には国守として4年間赴任していますので、何かの機会に越後を訪れなかったとは言い切れませんが推測の域を出るものではありません。ましてや住み着いたとは言うことはできないでしょう。
また晩年に蝦夷征伐のための陸奥按察使・持節征東将軍、鎮守府将軍などに補されていますが、特に功績や失敗などは知られておらず、そのまま延暦4年（785）に没します。没した直後に当時造営中だった長岡京の建設責任者・藤原種継が暗殺された事件に関して首謀者とされ、除名・官位剥奪・領地没収のうえ、その遺骨が隠岐に流されました。この辺りのことが、伝説に影響はしているのでしょうが、伝説は伝説として考えるのが良さそうです。
雪深い旧・松之山町の中でも南西端部に位置するここ中尾地区に、平安時代歌人として有名な大伴家持の拠った「形部屋敷跡」がある。地元の区長さんの説明によれば、今でも4ｍ以上の豪雪地帯で、地滑りの危険に悩まされている地域であるという。
この館跡に関しては、謡曲・「松山鏡」として伝えられている。
「鏡ヶ池」と「形部屋敷跡」は、この中尾集落の奥部にあり、「鏡ヶ池公園」として駐車場を中に挟んで、北側に「形部屋敷」、南側に「鏡ヶ池」がある。更に、池の南上の台地には十二神社が祀られ、この地区も要害としての臭いが感じられる。十二神社の台地の北東端には、県の指定文化財であった中尾の大杉(亀杉)の大木があったが、平成23年の長野県北部地震と大水害によって倒木となり、当時の雄姿を見ることはできないが、今はその分身として、亀杉から再生された、さし木苗と、接ぎ木苗が倒木株の根元に植えられている。

The look of... VII: Mukojima
Welcome to the 18th installment of this series (my 7th). This time, we’re having a look at the Geigi that work in one of Tokyo's Hanamachi: Mukojima (向島).
Historical context
Geisha started to live in Mukojima in the early Meiji period (1868-1912) [1]. From the Edo to Meiji period, Mukojima was a recreational area for the common people, and was frequented by Yanagibashi and Yoshiwara Geisha with their customers. [3] The earliest record of a Mukojima Geisha (known to me) is Omomo お百, who was featured in "Contemporary Beauties", 1897 [2]. In 1906, 30 Geisha lived in the area. By 1928, their number had increased to 239. In 1940, several Kenban united, further increasing the number of Mukojima Geisha to 1300. Like in all Hanamachi around Japan, the number declined steadily after the second world war. In 1951, their number was 600, in 1993 240 [7], in 1996 170, in 2007 120 [3], in 2020 around 90 [4]. This makes Mukojima approximately as populated as Gion Kobu and Tokyo's largest Hanamachi.

※ Yoshiwara Suzume 吉原すずめ
Notes
Mukojima allows part-time workers, calling them Kamome かもめ [5]. Most of them are students or work in a different job already. Their task is mainly assisting Geisha/Hangyoku in the Ozashiki. Kamome can become Hangyoku or Geisha if they wish to work full-time. Mukojima dancers also play instruments at ozashiki: Hangyoku frequently play shime-daiko, Tachikata more often play ko-tsutsumi, sometimes fue. Shamisen seems so be reserved for Jikata.
Usually, Ryotei and Okiya are separate businesses in Tokyo. In Mukojima, however, several Ryotei also function as Okiya [3], similar to how in Kyoto, several Ochaya also have an attached Okiya.

Sean bienvenidos, japonistasarqueologicos a una nueva entrega de historia nipona en la que os explico la evolución del artefacto Tanegashima, una vez dicho esto pónganse cómodos, que empezamos.
-
Fue introducido por los portugueses en 1543, en pleno periodo Muromachi desde la isla que lleva su mismo nombre, el polvo negro químico fue inventado por los chinos en el siglo IX, se usaba para los fuegos artificiales, después se trasladó a otros ámbitos.
-
Se cuenta que cuando llegó a Japón, un herrero vendió a su hija para poder producir dicho artefacto, era un producto raro y poco efectivo, no todos los samuráis la utilizaban, ya que muchos preferían, todavía, las técnicas tradicionales más efectivas, además la consideraban un elemento deshonroso. El hecho más notable fue el 28 de junio de 1575 en Nagashino, en la Provincia de Mikawa. El clan de Oda Nobunaga se enfrentaba contra el clan Takeda conocido por su temible caballería, Oda Nobunaga emplearía unas empalizadas para proteger a sus soldados de las sucesivas cargas, en esta batalla se usaría el artefacto en masa. Esto lo podéis ver en el famoso videojuego de Total War: Shogun 2.

Esperó que os haya gustado y nos vemos en próximas publicaciones que pasen una buena semana.

日本の考古学者の皆さん、種子島の遺物の変遷を説明する新しい日本史へようこそ。 - 室町時代中期の 1543 年に、同じ名前の島からポルトガル人によって導入されました。化学黒色火薬は 9 世紀に中国人によって発明され、花火に使用されましたが、その後他の用途に移りました。地域。 - 彼が日本に到着したとき、鍛冶屋はその工芸品を製造できるように娘を売ったと言われています。それは希少で非効率な製品でした。多くの武士が依然として最も効果的な伝統的な技術を好んだため、すべての武士がそれを使用したわけではありません。彼らはそれを考慮しました不名誉な要素。 最も注目すべき出来事は、1575 年 6 月 28 日に三河国長篠で起こった。 織田信長の一族は、恐ろしい騎兵で知られる武田家と対峙しました。織田信長は連続突撃から兵士を守るために柵を使用しました。この戦いでは、アーティファクトが一斉に使用されました。 これは、有名なビデオ ゲーム Total War: Shogun 2 で見ることができます。 - 気に入っていただければ幸いです。今後の投稿でお会いしましょう。良い一週間をお過ごしください。

Welcome, Japanesearchaeologicalists, to a new installment of Japanese history in which I explain the evolution of the Tanegashima artifact. Having said that, make yourself comfortable, let's begin. - It was introduced by the Portuguese in 1543, in the middle of the Muromachi period from the island that bears the same name. The chemical black powder was invented by the Chinese in the 9th century. It was used for fireworks, then it moved to other areas. - It is said that when he arrived in Japan, a blacksmith sold his daughter to be able to produce said artifact. It was a rare and ineffective product. Not all samurai used it, since many still preferred the most effective traditional techniques. They considered it a dishonorable element. The most notable event was on June 28, 1575 in Nagashino, Mikawa Province. Oda Nobunaga's clan faced the Takeda clan, known for its fearsome cavalry. Oda Nobunaga would use palisades to protect his soldiers from successive charges. In this battle, the artifact would be used en masse. You can see this in the famous video game Total War: Shogun 2. - He hoped you liked it and see you in future posts, have a good week.

Five Days of Yam-Pak Movies ～ Bonus: Madam Yun // 芸娘 (dir. Chu Kea/珠璣, 1960) - starring Yam Kim Fai (任劍輝) and Pak Suet Sin (白雪仙)
Click below for more information + some commentary!
Outline & Scene Summary
Inspired by Shen Fu/沈復's Qing Dynasty autobiography Six Records of a Floating Life/浮生六記. Madam Yun focuses on Shen Fu (Yam Kim Fai) and his wife Yun (Pak Suet Sin), who live in married bliss with their children at the former’s familial home. However, they fall foul of the machinations of Shen Fu’s younger half-brother, who has designs on the inheritance, and are summarily kicked out. The young family struggle to adjust to their poverty, but their plight is worsened by Yun becoming chronically ill; these desperate straits result in Shen Fu having to leave his family behind in search of paying work. Thankfully, after all his efforts he is able to find a benefactor, and the family is reunited under one roof (which is, sadly, not what happened in real life).
In this early scene depicting the calm before storm, Shen Fu is trying to write a poem, but struggles to find the right words to finish off a line. As he is musing, his wife sneaks up and writes in her own suggestion, delighting him with her scholarly wit.
Although the movie as a whole is pretty dour, the first few scenes really stood out to me as a lovely (if inadvertent) depiction of an F/F couple being happily married with children, especially as Pak’s character is not reduced to being a mere mother or housewife, and the focus remains on the love between the pair. It’s also notable that the source material is known for being a rare depiction of a loving marriage in Chinese literature, and the earlier 1954 film adaptation specifically cast two actors who frequently played married couples (namely Cheung Wood-Yau/張活游 and Pak Yin/白燕; see source). The casting of Yam-Pak for this movie indicates that the studio was confident the public would embrace them as not only a romantic pairing, but specifically the ideal of a married couple.
Note: Six Records of a Floating Life is very much worth reading, not only because it's a vividly-drawn portrait of everyday life in 19th-century China (floral arrangements! exam LARPing! complaining about how touristy Hangzhou's West Lake is!), but also because it contains queer elements. There are references to Yun having a relationship with another woman (and asking her husband to take her on as a concubine, lol) and being attracted to other women, none of which are mentioned in this movie.

コンサルティング会社「スピーディ」の福田淳社長。2016年4月から俳優・のんさんのエージェントを務めている
ハリウッドの契約を見てきた弁護士も驚愕
―― 福田さんは、もともと映画業界でキャリアを重ねてきました。のんさんに関わるようになったきっかけをお聞かせください。
福田淳社長（以下、敬称略）： ソニーグループに20年いました。元々は映画監督になりたかったのですが、最初の10年は「ソニー・ピクチャーズエンタテインメント」のM&A担当で新規事業の責任者をしていました。後半10年が社内起業で立ち上げた「ソニー・デジタルエンタテインメント」です。ハリウッド10年、日本のテック系10年。こういったキャリアを持つ人は多くないと思います。ソニーの先輩が役職定年になる中で、「勢いがあるうちに辞めなきゃ」と17年に立ち上げたのがスピーディです。
のんとの接点ができたのは15年末で、エージェントを始めたのは今から約7年半前の16年4月です。ある出版エージェントの友達から「なかなか日本の芸能で困っているよ」という話があって会ってみたら、本当に信じられないような内容でした。いわゆる奴隷契約と申しましょうか、低賃金で移籍の自由もなく、本名が使えないとか...。うちの弁護士はハリウッドの契約を見てきた弁護士ですが、その内容には驚愕していました。事実として「能年さん、サインしてしまっているので、本名使えないみたいですよ」と伝えたら、本人は次の日に「NON」って書いてきて、「これ、小文字にしたら絵文字の笑顔に見えますから」ということで「私のことは『のん』って呼んでください」。 それから7年が経ちました。そんなひどいことが21世紀に起きるものなのか、今でも信じられません。同じくらいの年の娘がいるんですよ。子どもを持つ父としても、正義感からしても、のんに起きていることは許せないと思いました。
広告クライアントは延べ55社、28社が継続中
―― 最近でも、国民民主党の玉木雄一郎代表が記者会見で言及するなど、ジャニーズ問題と、のんさんをめぐる問題を関連付けて議論されることがあります。
福田： 今回のジャニーズ問題や、「あまちゃん」再放送を機に「そういえば『のん』っていう人もいたね」「まだ俳優してるの、この子」となることがあるようです。中には「あの子何か問題起こして干されてるんだわ」と思っている方もおります。だけど別に何もないんですよ。のんの「劣悪な労働条件なので移籍したい」という訴えが、前事務所の「お前育てたの誰だと思ってんだ！」という反応になった、ということです。
この機会に、僕がエージェントを始めてからの代表的な仕事をまとめたのですが、23年に映画「さかなのこ」で「第46回日本アカデミー賞 優秀主演女優賞」をいただいたほか、アニメ映画「この世界の片隅に」（16年）も好評でした。広告クライアントは延べ55社。うち継続中が28社です。電通・博報堂からはほとんど相手にされていないので、全部直取引です。テレビ局は編成と営業が全く別会社みたいなものなので、（CMの枠を売る）営業サイドとすれば、お金が入る分には誰が出ていようと構わないわけです。ですが、（番組そのものを担当する）編成となると、にらみがきいてしまうので出せない。
―― 19年には、ジャニーズ事務所が元SMAPメンバー3人の出演を妨げようとテレビ局側に圧力をかけた疑いで公正取引委員会が調査を行い、「該当するような行為があった場合は、独占禁止法に抵触する」として「注意」した、という経緯があります。当時、ウェブサイトに「CMの依頼が多くあり広告には出ることができています。でも彼女は女優です。現場からの熱烈なオファーもある、のんが三年間テレビ局で1つのドラマにも出演が叶わないことは、あまりにも異常ではないでしょうか？」と書き込んだことが話題になりました。この4年間で状況は変わりましたか。
福田： 19年当時は色々な（地上波の番組を製作している）プロダクションから「のんさん主演でこんなのやりたいんです」という脚本が来て、検討している間に立ち消えになっていたのですが、今ではゼロになりました。「こんな話ありますよ」もゼロ。ただし、ネットフリックスやアマゾンプライム、U-NEXTといったオンラインメディアとは取引があります。いつも「新しいことやりませんか」とお声がけいただいており、新規案件も多数あります。
―― 地上波ドラマには出られない状況が続く一方で、���のところで道が開けつつあるということですね。
福田： 元々僕はブランディングのプロでもあります。「能年玲奈」という「商品」は、それが自分の本名だったことが悲劇なのですが、「のん」という芸名に変えたことでブランディングは十分できています。本人が地上波ドラマに出られる状態が正常だとは思いますが、それを目的にしていないのと、テレビドラマに出ることが成功だという時代ではなくなっています。「テレビドラマに出られなくてかわいそう」という声がありますが、全然かわいそうじゃないんですよ。たくさん収入はありますし、好きなことをやっていますし。
ずっと売れているので、2年先までほぼ休みなし
のんさん。CMやPRイベントへの出演は多く、「常に2年先ぐらいまでほぼ休みなし」だという
―― てっきり冷や飯を食わされていると思っていたのですが、違うわけですね。
福田： ずっと売れているので、常に2年先ぐらいまでほぼ休みなしで悲しむ余地がない、というのが実情です。
―― ご本人は、自らが置かれている状況をどう受け止めているのですか。
福田： すごく元気です。精神的にめちゃくちゃ強い、自己肯定感が200%ぐらいある人です。
―― のんさんの個人事務所「non」と、スピーディ社がエージェントとしてマネジメント契約を結ぶ、という形をとっています。芸能事務所に所属する、という伝統的なスタイルとは異なります。
福田： 当初は僕の会社に「所属」するというやり方もあったのですが、「もうやめた方がいい。僕だっていつ豹変して、『奴隷契約』にするか分からない。だから大人は信じないで」ということで、エージェント契約になりました。
米国であれば俳優が一番偉いわけです。例えばトム・クルーズが一番お金を持っていて、経理、総務、運転手、ブッキング担当、付き人がいて、いわば「トム・クルーズカンパニー」なわけです。エージェントというのは、俳優を売り込んだり原作権を買ってきたりする役割です。スポーツの分野で活躍している団野村さんが分かりやすいですね。日本ですごい選手がいると、売り込みに行ってくれたりする。
ハリウッドでは一番の主体にある人（俳優）が契約のフレーム（大枠）をつけて、あとは弁護士さんが見る、というのは普通なのですが、日本ではそういうことの訓練ができている人は少ない。タレントがギャラの交渉も知らなければ、契約に噛むこともできないというのは、僕からすれば驚くべき事実でした。年端もいかない人を地方から連れてきて「訓練してあげよう」なんて言っているうちに、奴隷契約に持ち込んでしまう。公正取引上、非常に問題がある、優越的地位の濫用だと思います。
―― 所属ではなくエージェント制にするメリットは、どういったところにありますか。
福田： のんが自分の会社をつくって、そこと僕の会社がある期間、独占的な契約をしましょう、その年数の中で僕の働きが悪かったらクビにすればいい、という考え方です。それがフェアトレード（公正な取引）だと思います。他のタレントと違って、仕事のギャラがいくらで、どんな意味があるのかを完全につかんでいるので、生き生きしていますよね。僕からは、「嫌な仕事はやらなくていいと思うけど、ある程度責任を持ってやった方がいい大きい仕事もあるし、小さくてもSDGs（持続可能な開発目標）啓発の仕事など、社会的に意味があるものは一生懸命やろう」と伝えています。
LINEのCMではLINE幹部の方がすごく応援してくれました。「起用をやめろ」という脅しの電話も各方面にあったようですが、クライアント（LINE）が「正義は勝つと思います」と言ってくれて、あのCMはOKになりました。ユニクロのCMは、ナンバー2に頼んでアジア18か国での展開が実現しました。
このように独自の路線を切り開けていけたから、消されずに何とか生き延びてきました。だからこそ、ジャニーズ問題が出るたびに副次的に、能年玲奈の問題が出てくるという構造になっているのだと思います。
（インタビュー後半に続く。10月1日掲載予定です）

大洋さんから届いた絵 #277
松本大洋さんから、ひと言。
「『東京ヒゴロ』3巻 が、先日発売になりました。
『東京ヒゴロ』に限らず漫画を描くときはいつも、
登場する人物みんなを
とても格好いいと思って描いているので、
塩澤さんやいろんな漫画家さんたちと
さよならするのはさみしいですが、
最終回までたどり着けてほっとしました！
登場人物のひとり、長作の娘のルナは
トリオ芸人ジェラードンさんのファンで、
時々歌ったり観ていたりするのはジェラードンのネタです。
僕ももちろん大好きです。」
