Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 134 Broadcast Schedule

“W-what? Such an unguarded smile…”

While drinking juice, Shirakawa Rika secretly glanced at Xia Fan who was happily eating the food.

"I must not be out of character yet. Don't think too much. This is just normal work..."

Every time she made eye contact with Xia Fan, she couldn't help but recall the scene on the long street when he improvised and forced her against the wall.

"cheers!"

"Boss, give me ten more Wagyu beefs!"

"Hey, that one is very expensive..."

"What are you afraid of? Director Nakano is paying for today's film. He lectured me so much on the set. I'll eat it back now!"

"Ahem, I'm still here."

If you were to ask where the people of District 11 could let down their guard and restraints, the number one place would definitely be the izakaya.

Because of the alcohol, seafood and barbecue, everyone at the table quickly relaxed and gradually became noisy.

"Everyone hold your flowers, I want to take a picture of you all!"

The photographer who had been silent on the set also became noisy under the influence of alcohol, raised his camera and started taking random photos of everyone...

"Come on, Xia Jun, look at the camera! Such attractive eyes, and perfect looks from every angle, I must take a few more photos..."

When the camera was aimed at Xia Fan, the photographer pressed the shutter button frantically.

"Ms. Shirakawa, why are you drinking juice alone? Come and take a photo with Xia Jun..."

Then he turned the camera to Rika Shirakawa who was standing beside him.

"Hey, what? I don't take photos casually."

Rika Shirakawa is still shyly refusing...

"You know, in the 'Kazama Line', Chiyo stayed with Kazama and didn't go to Ezo Island. Moreover, after the war, the two of them got married and lived a carefree life."

Kawasaki Airi, with a dazed look and reeking of alcohol, came behind the two of them at some point.

"What? There's actually a completely different plot line like this?"

"Hey, is this the point now... Mr. Kawasaki, you seem drunk?"

Xia Fan and Shirakawa Rika didn't have time to react...

"So, you two must take a photo together..."

"Just think of it as making up for the small regret that the ending of 'Kazama Line' couldn't be adapted into a live-action film!"

She had already placed her hands on his shoulders and pushed hard towards the middle.

"what!"

"Chirp?"

Caught off guard, the two looked at each other with horror, their cheeks touched each other in a squeezed and deformed posture, and even their lips were pressed together.

"Very good, this is what I want. What a loving expression!"

The photographer nearby captured this photo with a hand speed that was even more precise than when he was awake.

"It hurts, it hurts..."

After staying in this position for a moment, Xia Fan covered his mouth and leaned back.

"Damn it, there has to be a limit to joking! And you, as my assistant, why didn't you stop them!!"

Shirakawa Rika's face turned as red as a boiling kettle, and her twin ponytails stood up angrily.

"I'm sitting so far away, how can I make it in time? Besides, I can't make it in time to make love with a handsome guy like Xia Jun even if I want to."

The female assistant opposite, with a flushed face, shrugged irresponsibly, obviously having drunk too much.

"What? Miss Shirakawa, that expression on your face, is this your first kiss?" Kawasaki Airi smiled teasingly.

"K-You are kidding me. A popular person like me..."

Rika Shirakawa stood with her hands on her hips and chest puffed out, glaring at her unyieldingly, seeming to want to say something but stopping herself.

"Hahaha, Miss Shirakawa's expression when she's shy is also very cute!"

On the other side, the photographer was still shooting frantically.

"Wait, hand over the camera and I'll spare your life! Where's that photo? Delete it immediately!"

The demented and violent Shirakawa Rika picked up the bottle of wine and started to punish the photographer.

"Oh yeah... where's Sakamoto Shuu? Tell him to come over here, and 'Dofu CP' should also come take a topless fencing photo for me!"

Thinking of someone, Kawasaki Airi looked around with a dazed look.

"Teacher Kawasaki, Sakamoto Hide drank our specially prepared 'Flammable Oolong Tea' and went to the toilet to vomit..."

"What? This useless 'Hijikata Toshizo', I will go to the men's room and catch him myself."

After being informed by others, the out-of-control Airi Kawasaki embarks on a journey to conquer Sakamoto Hide.

"Director, look, the platform has released a trailer for the series!"

Just as everyone was observing a moment of silence for Hideo Sakamoto, a staff member handed a cell phone to Director Nakano.

On the homepage of the PPJ streaming platform, there is a piece of news that "The final episode of "The Withered Chrysanthemum and the Sword" is scheduled to be broadcast, and the big devil Kazama Manye will appear!"

"Ahahaha, even though the reputation is bad, to some extent, the attention seems to be higher than normal."

After taking a look at the comment section of the news, Director Nakano made a bitter face and comforted himself.

"Although most of the comments are negative, it's only been an hour since the news was released and there are so many comments. Should we say it's worthy of being a popular IP?"

Hearing him say this, Xia Fan took out his cell phone, took a look at it, and smiled helplessly.

"The live-action version ruins the original work. Hatred of live-action adaptations knows no borders. Let's all come together and strongly demand that this drama be stopped!"

"I really don't know what the point of a live-action version is. The acting is so bad. Give me back the magic practice materials from my adolescence!"

"The platform making the web series is just money laundering. Only you fans of the original novel are so self-indulgent that you think it's made for you to watch!"

“I heard that the former director ran away with the actors of Manyo Kazama, and the platform just randomly found someone to continue the filming. Are they planning to disgust us with a work that is even worse than the previous one?”

In just one hour, the broadcast notice of "The Broken Chrysanthemum and the Sword" had been read hundreds of thousands of times, and the comment section was filled with mountains of vicious comments.

"But don't underestimate the power of BL fans in online opinion... For women, the deeper the love, the deeper the hatred..."

Rika Shirakawa sat back in her original seat without her knowing when, and sighed softly while deleting the photos on the DV.

When she saw one of the photos, her finger hesitated for a second on "Delete" and quietly clicked the "Transfer to phone" option.

"What the hell, these haters are going to piss on other people's social media accounts again..."

The drunk Kawasaki Airi returned to the private room, dragging the pale-faced Sakamoto Hide with one hand and holding a cell phone in the other.

"Please... wait quietly... for the touching final episode..."

"Just write it, and then...whoosh...send it."

She smiled and operated a few times on her mobile phone.

“Ahhhhhhh, what the hell… Mr. Kawasaki, do you know what you just did?!”

Within a few seconds, the staff responsible for publicity and promotion let out a painful cry!

"What's wrong? Didn't I just repost the official 'broadcast schedule' on my personal social media account?"

Kawasaki Airi burped and looked nonchalant.
