Start a core cabin

Today is a little sweeter---Jin Tian for short.

It is a girl comic, telling the story of a traumatized heroine who is healed after meeting the hero and his friends. Duanmu Huai remembers this very clearly because every day when he goes home for dinner, Ruby will tell him the content with great interest, sometimes excitedly, sometimes gnashing teeth, and sometimes crying bitterly.

It's like being possessed by a demon. I guess that's how young people's parents felt when they watched those idol dramas.

What "You are the wind and I am the sand, lingering to the end of the world" and so on...

Duanmu Huai also read it under Ruby's strong recommendation. How can I say it... I can only say that the plot is indeed very touching, but Duanmu Huai didn't have as rich emotions as Ruby.

If I have to say it, it's that he can live so long just on bread and nutritional supplements... The human body is really amazing.

Ruby was so angry that she didn't talk to him for two days.

But Duanmu Huai felt that his doubt was normal...

Anyway, at least Duanmu Huai knew that this comic was still very popular among girls. Since it was adapted into a TV series, it should be more popular.

However... After watching the shooting scene and sample of the first episode, Duanmu Huai made a phone call directly.

"Sakura, get out of here and come to the office."

After a while, the professional manager rushed into the office panting, but what greeted him was Duanmu Huai's roar.

"What is this stupid thing!"

Duanmu Huai slapped the heavy mahogany desk, and the desk was cracked.

"Are you sure this is Jin Tian's sample?!"

"This, this is indeed Jin Tian's sample... The director gave it to me personally..."

"Then tell me, what kind of stupid thing is this!!"

Duanmu Huai slapped the desk again, pointing angrily at the screen next to him.

"I remember that Jintian is a girl's comic, right? And aren't the heroine and her friends the first to appear? Her friends should be girls! But why are there so many stupid handsome guys in it!!"

Duanmu Huai almost poked his finger into the screen.

"Isn't the heroine a yin-jiao girl who doesn't trust others? What the hell is she surrounded by so many handsome guys? What kind of face-control bitch is this!"

"Uh........."

"Also, these lines!"

Duanmu Huai said as he pressed the play button, and then saw the boy who played the male lead in the story looking at the heroine and speaking.

"You, you put on that expression all day long - are you happy -?" (Good reading)

"The drama club in junior high school is not that bad, right!"

Duanmu Huai threw the remote control at the screen, and heard a "bang". The next moment, the 64-inch large-screen color TV died on the spot.

"Our company invested in this kind of thing? Although I'm not a fan of Jin Tian, ​​I also know that this thing will only be criticized after it is broadcast! Why did they invite these rubbish actors? What? Didn't our company pay enough?!"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's fierce scolding, the manager was also trembling with fear.

"I, I will contact the director and producer immediately!"

"Go and find out what's going on! If they don't want to shoot, they can get out of here! Do you want me to listen to others scolding this bad movie every day in class!?"

"Yes---!"

The manager, who was as if he had been pardoned, walked out like the wind, while Duanmu Huai sat down on the boss chair, snorted unhappily, and then picked up the cast list at hand again.

"By the way...how come Kana's acting is so bad?"

That's right, the actress of "Today's Sweetness" is none other than Kana Arima, who has not been seen for a long time. He originally wanted to see if Kana Arima had made any progress after not seeing her for a few years. But he was so angry at these idiot young actors that he wanted to hang them directly.

Although he only watched the beginning, Duanmu Huai felt that Kana Arima's acting should not be so bad...

On the other hand, under the threat of Duanmu Huai's death, the manager, who was fully capable, also quickly found out the situation and reported it.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Yes, it's like this...President..."

Looking at the girl sitting behind the desk, with white hair and red eyes, who looked like she wanted to eat people, the manager swallowed his saliva and spoke tremblingly.

"Because online TV is a new product, they are not sure whether it can get the expected response, so they just plan to test the waters..."

"Use a popular comic to test the waters? Damn, the license is free! Keep going!"

"Yes... Because the 14 volumes of the comics have too much content and the production cycle is too long, so they decided to compress it to six episodes. Of course, they also know that too much compression will cause the plot to collapse, so they plan to use the fact that Jin Tian's fans are all female and use a large number of models to play the roles. After all, for women, as long as there are enough handsome guys, it's fine..."

"You don't have to care about the plot, right! Then what kind of TV series are you shooting? Go open a gigolo parlor!"

Duanmu Huai slapped again, and this time he finally broke the heavy mahogany desk in half with a "click".

"Our company is in the film and television business. Opening a gigolo parlor makes these idiots turn right to the customs street!"

This is the difference between actors and bosses. For actors, no matter how unreasonable the plot is, they have to bite the bullet and shoot it. But if investors are not satisfied, they can point at the director and scold him.

The latter must swallow their anger.

This shows that money is the boss.

The manager stood there trembling, not daring to speak, but he also knew that Duanmu Huai's anger was not directed at him, but the unlucky director and producer... They are really doomed.

Sure enough, Duanmu Huai gave instructions soon.

"Return this stupid thing to me, tell them to shoot it according to the original work, and stop messing with those messy characters. And those models————damn, what stupid things are they! Is Jin Tian more famous or these models more famous? I don’t know where these idiots came from! We actually have to pay them for the film? Even if they beg me for money, I won’t let them act!"

"Yes, yes........."

"Fire them all!"

"Hey? But......this...this requires a penalty..."

"Why? Can't our company come up with this money?"

"That's not the case..."

"Money can't buy me happiness! It's more painful for me to watch these idiots spinning around on TV than to lose money!"

"Yes........."

"By the way, there's also Arima Kanai."

Duanmu Huai took a breath.

"Tell her that the heroine in Jin Tian is the protagonist. Don't act like a keychain hanging on a schoolbag. Give her another chance. If it doesn't work, change someone else."

"Yes, this...but..."

"Anything else?"

"Actually...the director has his own difficulties. After all, high school students with acting skills are rare. It's hard to find one like Magana..."

"Uh..."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

Indeed, if it's an adult, there are as many actors as you want, but find a few good actors among child stars and teenage junior and senior high school students...

"In short, let him find them! We're not without money!"

In the end, Duanmu Huai gave the order simply and rudely. Being a boss is just this good. I only want the results, and I don't care about the rest.

Besides, can a problem that can be solved with money be called a problem?

As for not finding it, that's the producer's problem. Change the producer!

For office workers, the most hated thing is that the boss opens his mouth and the office workers run their legs off.

Duanmu Huai is the boss, so he doesn't care about the ideas of office workers, but office workers are...

"What a joke! Fire them all!?"

The producer clenched his fists and stared at the manager.

"You know, I spent a lot of effort to find them!"

"But no one asked you to find such a useless person."

Although the producer's roar was scary, the manager was very calm. Just kidding, after experiencing Duanmu Huai's terrifying pressure like a beast about to eat people, this level of shouting is just a gentle kitten.

And...he doesn't have a good impression of this self-willed producer.

"The company funded you to shoot the TV series "Today's Sweetness", not some idol promotional film. Don't you even understand this?"

"But they are all promising newcomers. As long as we can take this opportunity to build a good relationship..."

"This is what the boss said: If you want to open a gigolo shop, you can turn right to the customs street. The company is not interested in this."

"You---!"

"I have brought the message to you. How to choose is your problem, producer Kaburagi."

After saying this, the manager turned and left, and behind him, Kaburagi clenched his fists.

Is there such a thing?

Kaburagi felt that he had done nothing wrong. "Today's Sweetness" is indeed a hot comic, but because of this, he hopes to use it to make new models popular. In Kaburagi's view, this is a very correct choice. Relying on building a good relationship with the model to gain popularity, as for word of mouth, just brush the water army... In fact, the reason why he did this is also based on experience.

After all, for investors, popularity and connections are generally more important. Although "Today's Sweet" is a popular comic, it has been completed and has no subsequent development value. And these new models have just started, and there is still great potential in the future. A qualified investor cannot possibly not understand these things.

Could it be that the investor is a fan of "Today's Sweet"?

In any case... the next thing will be a headache.

Thinking of what to do next, the producer Dimu felt a headache. Although in Duanmu Huai's view, they are just little white faces with no acting skills and only good looks, they are indeed very popular in the modeling industry. Unfortunately, for Duanmu Huai, who is at the top of the entertainment industry and is both a player and a referee, he really doesn't care about a few popular models.

But in order to ask these models to take time out for filming, the producer Dimu spent a lot of effort. Think about it, he invited them to perform with a solemn promise, and now he has to tell them that they will be kicked out of the crew because of their poor acting skills. Hey, isn't this a joke?

But unfortunately, the investment talent is God.

So soon, Duanmu Huai got the second casting list.

This time, the heroine is still Arimaka Kanae, and her two friends are played by Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai, both of whom are actresses, but the former is a stage actor and the latter is a TV actor. The ages are all here, and if you want to say it's suitable, they are definitely suitable.

"Well... they all have good images and experience, and the rest depends on the performance... What about the male lead? Shouldn't those gigolos be kicked out?"

"This..."

However, the manager seemed a little embarrassed at this time.

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, the male lead hasn't been confirmed yet........."

"??? It shouldn't be hard to find an actor, right?"

"But because these two are currently famous stars, their agencies don't want to work with male actors who might have scandals. After all... isn't there an ambiguous scene between the two in the comics?"

"Oh, that's right."

Duanmu Huai flipped through the comics and remembered a section where the male lead wanted to prepare a birthday gift for the female lead, but didn't know what she liked, so he went to ask her friend A, and then the two went to the street to buy a gift together. They happened to be seen by the female lead, so the female lead started to have her usual wild thoughts - speaking of this kind of girl comics, if the female lead doesn't have wild thoughts, there's no way to advance the plot at all.

"Then let's find another one, what else is wrong?"

"Actually... that........."

"Hmm?"

"Today's director said that he hopes to invite you to participate in this filming..."

"Let me play the stalker? That's fine with me, as long as I don't show my face."

Duanmu Huai remembered that there seemed to be only this one villain in this comic.

"No, the director said that the male lead of Jin Tian is a sharp-tongued character who likes to mock others, and he will die in the end..."

"Because it's a terminal illness, it's all this kind of inexplicable disease that can't be cured, so what?"

"After communicating with the comic author, he hopes to find a protagonist with a broad personality, good at sharp tongue and mockery, and looks very thin. After all, if you find a strong protagonist and insist that he will die soon, no one will believe it."

"That's right, so what?"

"So........."

While talking, the manager handed over the invitation.

"You are invited to play the male lead over there........."

"……………………"

Duanmu Huai looked at the male lead of the comic, then looked at his body that looked fragile, and then looked at the manager.

"Huh?"

Today, I accompanied my grandmother to see a dentist downstairs. She needs to have her braces and teeth remade. One tooth costs 100, and one brace costs 3,500. Two braces cost 7,000... It's really expensive...
