Start a core cabin

Strictly speaking, Duanmu Huai's body in this world is very confusing.

If she didn't speak and just sat there, she would be a standard sickly beauty. She would look so thin that she would collapse if the wind blows. If she had another melancholy expression like Lin Daiyu's, she would be a quite lovable character.

I can't imagine it being a terrifying monster that can lift Ola Ola, the steamroller.

Of course, as a woman, there is almost no growth. For Duanmu Huai, this is a good thing. After all, he doesn't have to worry about what cup size to buy.

As for playing male roles, Duanmuhuai...well, he has done it many times.

It’s rare to see men dressing up as women in movies, but it’s not uncommon for women to dress up as men. Duanmuhuai's body is not very tall, but he is not short either. It is reasonable to say that he has the body shape of a teenager. As long as you change your hair style, put on makeup, clothes, and contact lenses, you can indeed play the role of a beautiful boy.

Duanmu Huai has indeed played similar roles, even quite a few times. After all, many of the adaptations of popular Japanese comic and animation works are based on campus settings, and there are super-powered battles and the like. The problem is that if you say that it is difficult to find high school students who can act, then it is even harder to find high school students who can act in fighting scenes. So Duanmu Huai was asked by big-shot directors several times, reluctantly acting on his own, and even acting as a stand-in.

But that’s also a battle scene!

Acting in a love scene?

This is a bit...

"Can't you handle it? I'm not in this kind of youth campus love comedy."

Duanmu Huai was speechless and said that he couldn't do it. How could he act like this? He has never been interested in romantic comedies... Oh, correction, the male protagonist died in the end.

So this isn't a comedy either?

Anyway, Duanmu Huai thinks this is quite entertaining and can be considered a comedy.

"The director said that he has seen you play similar roles in other movies and feels that it fits the characteristics of the protagonist very well... Moreover, if it is played by a woman, others will feel more at ease and the performance will be more natural... …”

"Anyway, bring me the script and let me read it first."

As an investor and a big shot, Duanmuhuai naturally has this qualification.

Soon, a new script was given again, and Duanmu Huai flipped through it. Compared with the previous fourteen volumes compressed into six episodes, the length of the script this time was much more reasonable. Because there is no need to force those boring cowherd models, I just follow the plot of the comic and delete some branches. The story starts from the situation of the female protagonist at the beginning of the comic, and then to the male protagonist who transfers to another school and the two meet each other. The heroine slowly makes friends and comes out of the shadows. Then she gradually developed feelings for the male protagonist, and the male protagonist also used his own methods to protect her. In the final plot, one third of the comic, the male protagonist defeated the stalker who was following the female protagonist, and then the female protagonist found herself Falling in love with the male protagonist, that’s the end of it.

It can be regarded as leaving the public with suspense. It is a common method used in TV dramas and is more convenient for filming the second season.

"Um…………………"

After reading the script, Duanmu Huai began to think deeply. If it was an ordinary romantic drama about love and death, he would not accept it. However, the male protagonist of "Jin Tian" is actually a little different. First of all, shoujo comics are all told from the perspective of the female protagonist, so strictly speaking this is a female protagonist drama. As for the setting of the male protagonist himself - because he is dying soon, he wants to live a meaningful life in the end, and for this reason he wants to help and save the female protagonist. At the same time, because he knew that he would die sooner or later, he did not deliberately fall in love with the heroine, so as not to be like the idiot characters in those TV series "You just lost a leg, but what he lost was love..."

So strictly speaking, the story of "Today's Sweetness" is more like a story about the female protagonist sinking into darkness, then being rescued, and finally becoming independent and self-reliant. Most of the narrative focus is actually on the female protagonist, and the male protagonist is more of a comparison. Important tool man. After all, they will die in the end, so they won't be as tired as ordinary campus lovers.

Well, looking at it this way...it doesn't seem unacceptable?

"Okay, let me give it a try."

Now Duanmu Huai is very happy about his decision. Although he stars in movies, most of his roles in the movies are first-line supporting roles, so he can choose the works he shoots more freely. It would be different if he were a superstar or a popular protagonist in the movie industry.

After all, actors are valuable, and those like Duanmu Huai, who mainly plays supporting roles, don't have much celebrity baggage, so it's no problem to go around in circles.

But if you switch to those who play the leading male role in such an obscure online TV series, it's a different story.

And although he is said to be the male protagonist, he is actually a supporting role from the perspective of the story itself. The most important thing in this drama is Arima Kana who plays the heroine. As long as she plays the role well, then everything will be fine.

All in all, give it a try.

Compared with the previous small fights, the start of filming this time was much more formal. The most important thing before starting filming was naturally the script reading. The main thing is that before filming starts, the director, screenwriter, actors and others get together to comprehensively review the script, read the lines of each character, revise and understand it.

This is also the first time that the crew members meet together and see each other before starting filming.

When Duanmu Huai opened the door of the conference room and walked into the conference room, he saw this scene. Basically, except for the few adults sitting at the top, the rest were young men and women. After all, it was a youth campus romance film. It was impossible to choose a 25-year-old woman to play JK.

……………Shouldn't it be?

"Huh?"

"That's... Duanmu Ai?"

"Are you kidding? Why would she come to such a small studio?"

Seeing Duanmu Huai, the young actors were stunned, and many even exclaimed. You know, although many of them are older than Duanmu Huai, in terms of artistic age and achievements, they can't compare to this famous actor who debuted at the age of four, acted until the age of fifteen, won various awards, and starred in many first-line movies.

"Hello."

Duanmu Huai nodded to everyone as a greeting, and then sat in the first seat next to the director--with his status, it was almost natural for him to sit here.

"Well, everyone is here, let's get started. First, let me explain..."

The director also greeted Duanmu Huai, then coughed, looked at everyone and began to explain.

First of all, of course, he explained the roles. The heroine is still played by Arima Kana. It seems that she did well in the second selection. At least the director recognizes that she still has the ability to play the heroine.

And the heroine's friend A is played by.........

"I am Kurokawa Akane from the theater troupe LALALAI. Please give me more advice."

The first person to stand up was a tall black-haired girl. She looked a little timid and seemed to be more introverted. However, Duanmu Huai was not surprised by this. He went to many film sets and met many actors. He also knew that many actors were like schizophrenia in and out of the play, and they looked completely different. Although her current reaction was a little different from the lively friend A she was going to play, since the director was sure that she could do it, it should mean that she has acting skills in this area.

"I'm Mai Sakurajima, please give me your advice."

Compared to the timid Akane Kurokawa, Mai Sakurajima, who plays Friend B, seems very confident and full of momentum. She is a girl with waist-length hair and a good figure. I heard that she has acted in TV dramas before, so she is considered a very experienced actor. For Mai Sakurajima, this level of TV drama should be no problem at all.

As for the next one, it is... the actor who plays the bad friend.

"Washimi Yuyuki, please give me your advice."

Washimi Yuyuki plays the kind of scheming bitch that often appears in girls' comics. In the early stage of the comics, she seems to be very enthusiastic about taking care of the heroine, but in fact, she is a green tea who wants to get close to the hero through the heroine. It is said that there are always similar characters in girls' comics. On the surface, they are sisters with you, but in private, they want to sell you out. It can be regarded as a character that often appears in girls' comics.

Although I don't know how good her acting is, at least she looks pretty pure and cute.

"Hello everyone, I'm MEM! Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I will work hard!"

After Washimi Yuxue, the blonde girl who plays the supporting role C appeared. According to the information reported, she is a very famous YOUTOBER host, which is very suitable for this online TV show, so the crew invited her.

In fact, in this crew, including Duanmu Huai, only Magana, Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai are regular actors, and the other supporting roles are models, YOUTOBER hosts or idols. However, these people don't have many roles, and it is indeed difficult to find good actors of this age, so the crew had to consider other aspects.

For example, Washimi Yuxue, who was a model, was invited because she and the gigolo who was kicked out by Duanmu Huai were from the same agency, and in order to compensate, they had to leave such a role for the other party. As for MEM, it goes without saying that online TV shows can maximize the topic by using online anchors.

Of course, Duanmu Huai is not completely intolerant. You can pick a few topical supporting roles at random, and he won't bother to care.

But you can't even use the protagonist to fool people!

This is nonsense!

In fact, Ruby was also stuffed into the crew by Duanmu Huai, but she was just an ordinary passerby actor, the kind of classmate A who chatted in the class when the heroine went to school. Duanmu Huai said that he just wanted Ruby to experience the atmosphere of the crew. Anyway, a passerby actor is insignificant and will not hinder the overall situation.

By the way, Ruby was very excited when she learned that she could participate in "Today's Sweetness"...

Soon, this circle was introduced. Most of them were girls. There was actually only one male role, which was a relative of the heroine.

So that idiot stuffed so many handsome guys in, which was a completely crazy operation, and it didn't match the character of the heroine. Because the heroine was poisoned by her mother, she didn't trust others since she was a child. How could she be complacent when surrounded by a few handsome guys? That would be completely out of the game!

"That...director?"

After the introduction, the script reading began, and at this moment, Mai Sakurajima raised her hand curiously.

"Excuse me, who will play the leading male role?..."

"Ah......"

Duanmu Huai sighed silently and then stood up.

"Duanmu Ai, I'll play the leading male role."

".........Hey?"

“Hey hey hey!?”

At this moment, the one who made the most surprised cry was none other than Arimakana.
