Start a core cabin

Chapter 1612 Sister’s troubles (can only curl up in the quilt and hibernate)

Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai were rescued two days later.

Because the blizzard weakened, the search and rescue team also planned to take action. The heavy snow in recent days closed the mountain road and covered the traces. Therefore, the search and rescue team thought it was difficult to find the victims, but they still sent a helicopter to patrol.

Then they found the faint smoke from the cooking, and then went to the cabin in the woods.

When they opened the door, they found that the victims they were looking for were happily eating hot pot inside.

There was nothing much to say next. The two took the search and rescue team's helicopter back to the hospital. After the examination, they found that the two were fine, and everyone, including the crew, was relieved. After learning about the two people's experience in the past few days, everyone was amazed, and the director decided to choose the cabin to shoot the next shot.

At the same time, the director also discussed with Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai, wanting to use the scene where Sakurajima Mai was chased by a bear. Although in the comics, it was because Ryoko was distracted and got into trouble, in the director's opinion, this scene had already been shot, and it would be a waste if it was not used. He had already asked the original author, Mr. Kichijoji. After learning about this and watching the footage shot at the time, Mr. Kichijoji was also quite surprised and readily agreed to modify this part of the plot.

According to Mr. Kichijoji's original words, "I can't think of such an explosive plot. Sure enough, reality is more exaggerated than comics."

Sakurajima Mai didn't have any objections, and Duanmu Huai didn't object either. After all, he still had to take everything in the cabin back.

That bear skin was at least a trophy.

"You just spent three days here."

Walking into the cabin, Arima Kana looked at the environment here curiously, with an incredible look on her face.

"It looks very clean."

"Of course, because I have been cleaning these days."

Sakurajima Mai also smiled and said. Hearing her answer, Kurokawa Akane beside her looked at Sakurajima Mai thoughtfully. For some reason, she felt that Sakurajima Mai's tone just now was like introducing her wife in her newlywed home...

"By the way, that bear was so big. I felt it was very scary when I saw it at that time."

Arima Kana did not have any strange feelings like Kurokawa Akane. She walked to the bed curiously and touched the bear skin on it.

"If it was someone else, I don't believe she could kill the bear, but Xiao Ai is really possible."

"Indeed."

This time, Kurokawa Akane also nodded silently. Sakurajima Mai was surprised because she had never worked with Duanmu Huai before. But Arimaka and Kurokawa Akane had worked with Duanmu Huai on stage plays before, and they knew very well how much power was in that thin body. In addition to Duanmu Huai's explosive momentum during stage performances, it was not surprising for them to say that she could really kill one or two bears.

There was even a feeling of "as expected".

"Bear meat is quite delicious, but when I think of Xiao Ai carrying bear meat and saying, "Look, what good stuff I brought you," I want to laugh."

Arimaka said, and she also chuckled. Duanmu Huai didn't look like she was in trouble at that time, but more like she was on a long trip and brought back local products for everyone. So much so that everyone in the crew was emotionally confused at the time. They wanted to go forward to express their condolences, but they didn't know what to do after Duanmu Huai's unexpected behavior.

In the end, the condolence meeting turned into a bear meat hot pot meeting... It wasn't bad.

Next, in the cabin, the crew filmed the following scenes, where the protagonist and Yoshiko were trapped in a cabin on a snowy mountain. Yoshiko was attracted to the protagonist and fell in love with him. This scene was filmed very well, and Yoshiko, played by Mai Sakurajima, perfectly presented the restrained, implicit affection and expectation.

After all, this scene was quite difficult to film, and the requirements for the actors were very high. Mai Sakurajima had a good sense of proportion, which not only made people feel the changes in Yoshiko's feelings for the protagonist, but also took the initiative to close the line at the last step. It can be said that Mai Sakurajima's acting skills exploded, and she completely performed the style of the protagonist in these two episodes.

"I didn't expect Mai's acting skills to be so good."

Staring at the camera, Kana Arima also had a serious expression. Mai Sakurajima performed so well in these two episodes, which was a pressure for Kana Arima, the leading actress. If she can't perform the style of the heroine in the later stage, then Mai Sakurajima might turn the tables and turn it into a party struggle.

"It seems that I have to work hard too. What do you think, Akane?"

"Hmm... I don't think she's acting... ..."

"Hmm?"

"Nothing."

Kurokawa Akane shook his head, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the filming scene in front of him.

Maybe he was overthinking.

After that, the filming went smoothly, and the second season of "Today's Sweet" was broadcast as scheduled during the New Year.

The response was as good as before. Although the popularity was not as high as the first season, the ratings were still very stable, basically the same as the first season. Of course, Duanmu Huai was not concerned about these trivial matters, but the situation of Sakurajima Mai.

After all, he was not sure whether this trick would succeed, but fortunately, from Duanmu Huai's point of view, he should have made the right bet.

With the broadcast of the twelfth and thirteenth episodes, Sakurajima Mai's popularity instantly increased again - it is not correct to say that, it should be said that Sakurajima Mai's popularity has returned to its original state. The Internet is full of statements such as "As expected of Sakurajima Mai", "I cried just watching it", and "popular actors are really different". It seems that for this world, the days when Sakurajima Mai did not exist some time ago itself seem to be the same. It’s like it no longer exists.

But no matter what, it is a good thing that Sakurajima Mai is recognized again and returns to her original position.

By the way, after filming the second season of "Today's Sweetness", Mai Sakurajima announced that she would move to Berry PRO. Obviously, the conflict between her and her mother has not been resolved. But...this is a private matter, and Duanmu Huai will not care about it.

For Berry PRO, it is a good thing that capable artists are willing to join.

But it's not good for Duanmuhuai.

The reason is very simple, that is, every time he comes to the office, one more person misses him.

"Good morning...Ah, sister, you are lying here and being lazy again!"

This is Ruby.

"Good morning, Xiao Ai, it's almost time for you to do some work."

This is Arima Ganai.

"Good morning... Xiao Ai, after we finish shooting at noon today, do you want to go have dinner together?"

This is Kurokawa Akane.

"Good morning... You are still so lazy, it's better to work harder."

This is Mai Sakurajima.

"If I had known I would be pushed around every day, I wouldn't have come to the office."

Duanmu Huai rolled on the sofa and looked at the people around him speechlessly.

"The new year has just begun, why are you anxious?"

"That's why there's a new year and a new outlook. Now only your schedule is blank."

Youma Ganai knocked on the itinerary board, which was full of personal itineraries, except for Duanmu Huai, which was blank and had nothing on it.

"I also have my own things to do."

"What about?"

"The recent Maomao TV is pretty good."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, everyone else was speechless.

"Sister is always like this. She is lazy in class and lazy at work..."

"I call this a work-rest balance. Isn't it fun to be like you all day long without touching the ground?"

Duanmuhuai snorted and curled his lips.

“I already worked over my quota last year, and I definitely won’t do it this year!”

"Obviously I just filmed two movies and one stage play..."

"One! "Today's Sweetness" is a series, so it counts as one! Well, don't you still have a lot of work to do? I wish you a safe journey."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he waved his hands to everyone, as if he was going to stay lazy on the sofa forever.

“…………It’s a shame that you are able to win an award due to your appearance……”

"And she made such a speech on the podium. I was embarrassed to say that I knew her."

Mai Sakurajima and Kana Arima were also complaining. They were talking about the Best Actor Award awarded at the end of the year. Duanmu Huai won this award for her performance in "Tokyo BLADE". However, what others said on stage was that they would live up to expectations and keep up the good work. Only Duanmu Huai came on stage and said, "It's too tiring to perform thirty shows a month, and I don't want to do it anymore."

If a newcomer said this, he would definitely be criticized to death, but Duanmu Huai, who has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, said this, what else can everyone do? I can only laugh.

Of course, complaints are complaints, and everyone still has to do their own thing. Only Ruby glanced at Duanmu Huai with some worry, as if she wanted to say something to him, but Duanmu Huai noticed Ruby's gaze and just waved He waved his hand, then picked up his phone and sent a text message.

[Go home and tell me something]

【OK】

Soon, Ruby also heard a response.

Although Ruby didn't say she had anything to do with her, Duanmuhuai could guess it.

After all, it's not for nothing that he lazily watches TV at home every day.

Facts have proved that Duanmuhuai's guess was correct.

After Ruby returned home from a busy day, she immediately talked to Duanmu Huai about her troubles.

"I wonder...if I'm not suitable for the C position."

Ruby, who was sitting in front of Duanmu Huai, had lost all her usual liveliness and cheerfulness, and looked lifeless.

"oh."

"Oh...sister, is this the only thing you feel about me?"

"certainly."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"Do you think I don't know? Do you think I lie at home watching TV and checking my phone every day for nothing?"

“……………Why does it sound a little bit hot…”

Although Ruby clenched her little fists and glared angrily at Duanmuhuai, Duanmuhuai knew very well why Ruby had such thoughts.

In fact, B Komachi has already encountered a bottleneck in its development.

In other words, this is the only way for every idol group.

Forming a group is different from flying solo. Forming a group requires distinctive characteristics. To put it bluntly, it is a different personality. Only in this way can it attract the interest of those die-hards. Just like there are older sisters, younger sisters, teachers, and OLs in GALGAME, only this setting can attract people who like different tastes.

If you want all the characters in a game to have the same personality, then no one will like it.

And in this B-town, MEM is a popular broadcaster, and his main image is a silly, healing and funny image, while Fengbin and Xiang are the type who speak their mind. How can I describe Ruby? In a word, she is a classic idol image.

The advantage of classics is that they are easy to define.

The disadvantage is that once the predecessors raise this image to a level that no one can reach, then the later ones will all be imitating the ugly and make a fool of themselves.

This is where Ruby's problem lies now.

"Just look at these comments."

Duanmu Huai said while opening his mobile phone and scrolling through the comments.

"Is Ruby not suitable for the C position?"

"It feels like she is just imitating love poorly."

"It's so fake..."

After randomly picking a few comments and reading them, Duanmu Huai turned his head and looked at Ruby, whose face was turning pale.

"I guess you have seen it a long time ago."

"They don't understand at all! I am the mother's daughter!"

"They don't need to understand."

Duanmu Huai shook his head.

"Let me ask you, if B Komachi is still there, and now a new member joins the group, relying on her youth and beauty to want to take her place by imitating Hoshino Ai, what would you think?"

"Ha? Are you kidding! Absolutely impossible!"

Hearing this, Ruby slammed the table and stood up.

"Mom is the strongest and most invincible idol, and absolutely no one can take her place!"

"You see, this is the problem."

Duanmu Huai looked at Ruby, who was panting, and spread his hands.

"You have already explained the reason yourself."

"I........."

At this moment, Ruby also stood there blankly, speechless.

"When you wanted to restart B Komachi, I reminded you, Ruby."

Duanmu Huai stared at Ruby and spoke word by word.

"This is a double-edged sword. Indeed, B Komachi was once very popular and had many fans. Restarting B Komachi will attract more attention than other unknown groups - but at the same time, it will also be more likely to be compared."

"……………………"

"Why are MEM and Toyohama Kazuka not criticized? Because their attributes do not exist in the original B Komachi at all, those fans can easily accept them, just as B Komachi plus newcomers, which is not a difficult thing. But you are different, Ruby, you are the center, and you also frankly said in the interview that you are a fan of Hoshino Ai, plus your actions are all imitating Ai, so fans will naturally compare you with Ai."

"……………………"

"You have to remember that this is a war that cannot be won, because what you have to face is Hoshino Ai in the fans' memories - and memories cannot be defeated."

"Then...what should I do?"

Ruby sat down on the chair and clenched her fists.

"I have always wanted to be an idol like my mother, and I have been working hard, even if others say I am a fake... But... I really..."

"The core of the problem is, do you want to be an idol like Hoshino Ai, or an idol like Hoshino Ai."

"... Sister, I am in a bad mood now, please don't make such a boring joke."

"I am not kidding."

Looking at Ruby with her head down like a cursed ghost, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"I mean, do you want to become Hoshino Ai completely? Or is your goal to become a shining idol like Hoshino Ai?"

"I... I don't quite understand what you mean, sister..."

Ruby raised her head in confusion and looked at Duanmu Huai, as if she was racking her brains to think, but she couldn't come to a conclusion.

Then I had to put the answer in front of her.

Duanmu Huai picked up his mobile phone and swiped a few text messages.
