The Shocking Eunuch, Reborn as a Literary Girl

Chapter 62 Luckily it was me
"It is very unrealistic for a typical light novel author to switch to screenwriting."

Even some famous, capable, and highly regarded novelists can fail, let alone a newcomer like me with no experience. It's simply wishful thinking; you're playing with your career and the project's prospects.

Normally, this would definitely be a disaster.

"You're so stupid. It's not the wicked who are scary, but the stupid one who comes up with a brilliant idea."

You're the fool who makes the wrong decision on a whim.

"I imagine your colleagues, your superiors, and everyone around you are on the verge of reaching their limit with you, the nominal producer."

There was increasing skepticism and gossip about your abilities, but despite this, you still had the brilliant idea to ask me, a fledgling novelist, to write a screenplay.

The more Chiya Umehara spoke, the more Seiji Akechi felt sweating profusely.

Chiya Umehara is right.

The decisions I made, the things I did.
They were desperate and grasping at straws.

It's hard to describe it simply as funny.

After a barrage of criticism, Chiya Umehara suddenly changed the subject.

"But, as I said before."

You're lucky.

"I'm not just a novelist who writes novels. I also have some experience in screenwriting."

"I am confident that I can do a better job than most people with the task you have given me."

Seiji Akechi, as if grasping at a straw, hurriedly asked, "Really?"

Chiya Umehara chuckled softly: "Of course it's true. After all, I'm Arisa's sworn brother."

"Although you're stupid, the influence of the 'Masked Warriors' IP is very attractive to me. So, I'll take this job."

Chiya Umehara speaks very harshly and has a very arrogant personality.

Her resume wasn't great, and she looked very immature; she just looked like an ordinary high school girl.

As a partner, the debuffs are truly maxed out.

They should be categorized as the kind of people who "cannot be trusted under any circumstances."

But I don't know why.
Chiya Umehara's remarks just now actually helped Seiji Akechi quickly form a basic impression in his mind that "she is very reliable".

She can pinpoint your problems very accurately.

She could immediately point out her own cowardly and incompetent nature.

She could even guess that the main reason she contacted her was because she was desperately seeking help under pressure.

This is not something an "incompetent person" could do.

At least, I can't do it myself.

Therefore, even if the other party has no resume.

Even if the other person is a kid who might be almost 10 years younger than you.

But he still felt
Chiya Umehara is reliable.

He began to believe that everything would be reversed as long as Chiya Umehara made a move.

At this moment, he had completely regarded Umehara Chiya as his lifeline, as the person who could save him.

Upon hearing that Chiya Umehara would take the job, he immediately nodded excitedly, "Okay! Thank you so much! Thank you so much!"

Chiya Umehara smiled gently: "No need to thank me in time. This is just a mutually beneficial cooperation."

"Then let's exchange phone numbers, and we can discuss the details later."

After exchanging contact information with Chiya Umehara, Seiji Akechi left satisfied.

He thought with a mix of trepidation and anticipation.
'Can the ending really be reversed?'

'Could she really be the one I'm looking for?' Only time will tell.
-
Rewinding to the previous night, Chiya Umehara received an email from Seiji Akechi right on time.

After seeing that the other party claimed to be from Dongri, she was curious and chatted with them briefly via email to learn more about the situation.

After she roughly understood why the other person had come to see her, she was a little confused.

"Huh? You want me to write a screenplay? Me?"

Is it still "Masked Warrior"???

This was quite a novel experience for her.

In her past life, as a well-known novelist, she was often invited to serve as a "creative advisor" for scripts, especially for derivative IP adaptations related to her novels.

But while that's what they say, in reality, most of them are just figureheads and don't actually put in any real effort.

You should know that every profession has its own secrets.

Being able to write a novel doesn't mean you can write a screenplay.

Although she has some knowledge of screenwriting and has spent her spare time learning about screenwriting, she has also done some research on screenwriting in her spare time.

Even so, she is not a professional screenwriter and has no professional scriptwriting experience. In her opinion, writing scripts is a bit of a thankless task.

The producers of these films and television dramas usually understand this, so they often don't contact her.

Even in her past life, when she was such a big star with such high profile, hardly anyone wanted her to write screenplays.
While not entirely absent, they are certainly rare.

I've always been a nobody, yet the producer of such a big IP as Masked Warriors has approached me.

This really is like the sun rising in the west.

She made a judgment at that time.

"This person is either a newbie or an old codger who's letting himself go by using public funds to chase after celebrities."

Generally speaking, she will refuse even if someone invites her.

She felt it wasn't very interesting, that writing scripts was restrictive, and that the other party was unlikely to offer her satisfactory compensation.

However, today is an abnormal situation.

"Should we go take a look?"

That's right, Chiya Umehara is starting to seriously consider this invitation.

There are two main reasons.

Firstly, she's just incredibly bored right now.

After being reincarnated as "Umehara Chiya", she has largely rediscovered her desire to express herself.

Her youthful body also allows her to sustain higher levels of creative work.

Whether physically or mentally, she can be said to have fully ushered in the second spring of her life.

She has countless things she wants to write for her readers.

She couldn't wait to climb back to the top in Japan, to return to her former glory, and to prove to the world that mercy had returned.
No, mercy is probably truly gone forever.

it's fine.

The super-genius beauty, Arisa Munechika, is on her way to the top!

But it just so happens at this time.
They were actually held back by the speed of physical book distribution.

In order to make her writing available to people as soon as possible, she is now trying to combine the planned second and third volumes of "The Prophecy of Arya" into one large volume and release it all at once.

The main focus is on urgency.

Chiya Umehara now feels that she has endless creative power, but she is bound by reality.

then
That's how today's events happened.
