Start a core cabin

Duanmu Huai has always believed that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by money and violence. If it cannot be solved, it must be because one of the parties is not strong enough.

Strictly speaking, Mai Sakurajima's photo shoot is another job and has nothing to do with "Jin Tian" - but it depends on how you put it.

Because "Today's Sweetness" will be filming a second season, and Sakurajima Mai naturally has to perform in it, and the contract has been signed. At this juncture, she is taking photos in swimsuits, and it is easy for her character to be considered OOC.

It's like a character in a pure love animation who has a humiliation version. If it's a fan, it can be done, but if it's official, it can't be washed away.

The supporting role played by Mai Sakurajima in "Kona Sweet" is a pure and proud girl. It is naturally impossible for her to take swimsuit photos for money. So using this reason to ask the other party to stop selling photos is not unreasonable... Well, actually it's not important.

The important thing is that as long as you have money and find a powerful lawyer, you can turn a black person into a white person, and a dead person can be said to be alive.

That's it.

As for the office of Mai Sakurajima's mother, Duanmuhuai also investigated it. It was just a relatively ordinary office, belonging to the middle level. It can't be compared to a big-name firm like Berry PRO. And the most famous star that has ever appeared in the agency is Sakurajima Mai...

In fact, from the perspective of the firm, there is nothing wrong with this. When it becomes popular, vigorously squeezing it and squeezing out the other party's economic value as much as possible is the first priority of capitalism. That's why Duanmuhuai said that purely based on the situation, there was nothing wrong with what Sakurajima Mai's mother did. Most offices do the same for their artists.

The only problem is that as a mother, she sells her daughter too easily.

As for Duanmu Huai's reason for helping Sakurajima Mai, it's very simple. They know each other. They have filmed together, so they are familiar with each other. She looks pitiful, so she has an excuse to intervene, so she can help if she can.

It's that simple.

That's the benefit of power.

If Duanmuhuai was just an ordinary actor like Arima Kanai or Kurokawa Akane, then he would not be able to find a solution no matter how hard he tried. But now, as long as she sends a lawyer's letter, she can easily help Sakurajima Mai solve this problem that she absolutely cannot solve by herself.

Duanmuhuai doesn't even need to send it himself, he just needs to make a phone call.

Duanmu Huai originally thought that there would be no problem in this way, but it turned out that his idea was too simple.

One evening a week later, when Duanmuhuai came home, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the street.

"...What are you doing here?"

Looking at Mai Sakurajima, who was wearing a bunny girl costume and sitting curled up on the side of the street, Duanmu Huai looked confused. Hearing Duanmuhuai's voice, Sakurajima Mai raised her head. Only then did Duanmuhuai realize that Sakurajima Mai looked exhausted and was in a mess. Then she stood up, rushed over, and hugged Duanmu Huai tightly.

"That's great, you can still see me...that's great...!"

"???"

"Anyway, let's talk about it first."

Although he didn't know what was going on with Mai Sakurajima, Duanmuhuai took her home, asked her to wash up, and prepared a cup of coffee for her.

It wasn't until she sat down again that Sakurajima Mai seemed to have regained her original calm.

"Actually, the day after I separated from you, my mother came to tell me that the photo album could not be sold because the company sent a lawyer's letter."

"Oh, I know, that's what I said. After all, it may have an impact on the filming of the second season of "Today's Sweetness"."

"Then I really thank you."

Mai Sakurajima smiled bitterly.

"At that time, my mother also suspected that I was looking for someone, so the two of us had a big fight. She felt that the photo album would be a big seller, and I was still a child and ignorant... Of course I would not accept my mother's words. So the two of us had a fight and then... we started having a cold war."

Mai Sakurajima stretched out her hand, held the coffee cup, lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"Actually, this kind of thing happens often. In the past, after my mother and I quarreled, we would also get into trouble with each other. For a long time, we would ignore each other and act as if the other party did not exist. I would not talk to my mother, and my mother would not talk to me. Talking. It was easy to talk about working before, but now that I have stopped moving, she has naturally focused on the office. These days, she goes out early and comes back late. Occasionally, we will only say nothing when we meet. Then……………"

At this point, Mai Sakurajima's body began to tremble.

"I thought it was almost time to start working again, so I went to my mother to explain, but I found that my mother could no longer see me."

"……………………"

"It wasn't just my mother, I called other people and they couldn't hear me. I thought at first it was something like that happening again, so I walked around hoping to find someone who could see it. My place. But I even ran to Saitama, and no one saw me along the way. To be honest, I wondered if I was dead and what was left here was my soul or something else... ………”

"……………………"

"I thought of you last, because no one else saw me before, only you saw me, so I came to you... No, maybe I came to you last on purpose. After all, if you even You can’t even see my words…………”

"That's why you look like this."

Looking at Mai Sakurajima, who was in a bunny girl outfit and looked so miserable, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but shook his head.

"Have you eaten?"

"Of course not. I can't buy anything to eat in my current state."

"Why don't you just go to the supermarket and get it?"

"Wouldn't that be a crime?"

"It doesn't count if you can't see it."

Duanmu Huai stood up while speaking.

"Forget it, I'll see what's in the refrigerator and get you some."

There were bread and sandwiches in the refrigerator, so Duanmu Huai took these and a can of Coke.

"… The calories in this thing are not healthy for girls."

"Then will you eat it?"

"Yes."

For Mai Sakurajima, now is not the time to care about calories. After all, losing weight is still a matter of life and death. She still understands this choice very well.

After eating, Duanmu Huai asked Mai Sakurajima to take a shower and change clothes. After all, she couldn't walk around in a bunny girl outfit, not to mention that this outfit was so dirty that it had to be thrown away.

While Mai Sakurajima was taking a shower, Duanmu Huai made a phone call.

"It's me."

"President, what can I do for you?"

"The second season of "Today's Sweet" is about to start filming, what's the situation with the actors?"

"Ah, there are no problems, we have confirmed it... Please wait."

Soon, the sound of turning pages came from the other side.

"Yes, everyone has reserved enough time to shoot the second season, no problem."

"Where is the actor who plays Yoshiko?"

The Yoshiko Duanmu Huai mentioned is the classmate played by Mai Sakurajima.

"The actress who plays Ryoko...ah, Mai Sakurajima? Sorry, President, I checked and it seems that her schedule has not been confirmed, but it's really strange, I'm not very familiar with this actress..."

"Not very familiar?"

"Yes, well...she should be a newcomer...I will ask the agency about the situation immediately."

"Well, then I'll leave it to you."

Duanmu Huai hung up the phone and thought for a moment—well, in the end, Duanmu Huai gave up thinking.

Invincible people don't need to think.

He had never seen such troublesome things before, it was really a strange situation.

After a while, Mai Sakurajima came out of the bathroom. At this time, she had taken off her original bunny girl outfit and changed into a set of sportswear.

"Are you watching Jin Tian?"

Walking into the living room, Mai Sakurajima was somewhat surprised to see the footage played on TV.

"There is good news and bad news."

Duanmu Huai stared at the screen and spoke without looking back.

"I choose to listen first..."

"The good news is that you have not been completely forgotten. At least your scenes in the TV series are all there, and the name Sakurajima Mai is also recorded, and your contract for the second season has not changed."

"………………Then what about the bad news."

"The bad news is that no one knows who you are."

Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Sakurajima Mai.

"They know the name Sakurajima Mai, but they don't know that she is a famous actress, or a very famous child star. I also asked Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane, and they don't remember you at all. They just have the impression that you 'seem to have filmed a play together', but they can't tell the specific situation."

"………………………………"

"In other words, your impression in other people's memories has become so vague that you have even been ignored."

"…………………………"

"What do you think now? You can't always go on like this."

"Indeed."

Sakurajima Mai nodded.

"If I'm just not famous, it's fine, but if no one can see me, then I'm no different from dead."

The problem now is that Mai Sakurajima's presence is gradually disappearing. Logically, if she is willing to show her presence, then there should be no problem.

But she herself cannot be perceived by others at all. This is basically a negative cycle. No one perceives her, and the less people care about her, the more they forget her.

The final social death.

"Buzz...Buzz..."

Just then, Mai Sakurajima's phone rang. She opened the phone and took a look.

"The news from the agency notified me that the second season of "Today's Sweet" has started filming, and informed me of the gathering time and place... I didn't expect that I would be perfunctorily treated like this..."

Looking at the phone, Mai Sakurajima's expression was a little complicated. Generally, this kind of treatment is only for unknown artists. Those newcomers who have just entered the industry are also like this. The agent is uniformly assigned, one person leads a team, and except for those who perform well and leave a deep impression on others, everyone else is free.

Only those who are famous will get the treatment of a one-to-one agent.

And now Sakurajima Mai… It’s like she deleted her account and started over.

“But I can’t act properly in this state.”

No one can see her, so naturally no one can act with her.

This is really a troublesome thing……………
