Japanese Entertainment: A Comeback Beginning from Bankrupt President

That's a bit difficult.

The script that Kazuya Sawashiro used for practice was rejected by Toei Animation.

The fact that they rejected the submitted script without even giving it a chance to be revised exposes many problems in Ze Cheng's creative process; otherwise, they wouldn't have refused to give it a chance to be revised.

In other words, Kazuya Sawashiro's script wasn't appealing enough to match the already published manga and light novels, so Toei Animation had no intention of adapting it into a film or television series and rejected the script outright.

Because of this, Ze Cheng also doubted his own abilities and hesitated to put pen to paper.

Amano Aki wasn't quite sure whether Sawashiro Kazuya meant he hadn't written a single word or that he had started writing but hadn't finished, so she volunteered, "Do you need my help? I feel like I have all this energy I don't know where to put it."

She's incredibly confident, as if you can guarantee success if you entrust the task to her.

Ze Chenghe didn't know where her confidence came from, so he directly flicked Amano Aki's forehead with a stereotypical flick, "If you have nowhere to exert yourself, go outside and run five kilometers. Do you think writing a script is something you can do with strength? This is mental work."

Given her unrealistic mind, even Kazuya Sawashiro was somewhat worried about the timeline of adapting the story of Momotaro into a movie script.

"Of course I know writing is mental work," Amano Aki said, rubbing her forehead and glaring angrily at Sawashiro Kazuya, who had looked down on her. "But didn't you say you hadn't written it? So what's wrong with me wanting to help? Aren't you underestimating me by being so quick to refuse?"

Despite her appearance, she once played the role of a tree stump at a presentation at Kuji Municipal Second Elementary School.

Of course, this has nothing to do with scriptwriting, but it was with this kind of spirit that Amano Aki was able to play the role of the tree stump well, and even received applause from teachers, parents and other classmates after the performance.

For Aki Amano, there is no obstacle in this world that cannot be overcome by sheer force of will.

Acting is like this, making a debut is like this, writing is like this—these are all things she can achieve through hard work.

Kazuya Sawashiro was very close to her, close enough to see the burning flame in her eyes and feel the power emanating from her.

To be honest, this is amazing. If the emotional Misaki Tachibana saw this scene, she would definitely become the prince and grant all of Aki Amano's requests, even if it meant plucking the moon from the sky.

Agreeing to something is one thing, but how to do it is another.

Just because she's emotional for a moment doesn't mean she'll be emotional forever. Tachibana Misaki is actually a very composed girl.

Ze Cheng Kazuya was a little more mature than her, so he agreed to Amano Aki's request without hesitation: "I understand. I'll give you a script assignment. Design an ending that fits the plot outline. You need to submit a satisfactory answer to me within a week."

"The ending?" Amano Aki hesitated for only a moment before confidently continuing, "Watch me write the ending in three days, it'll blow your mind."

"Don't talk big. My judgment is very strict. If you can't meet my expectations, then you can forget about the script and just follow my instructions." Not only will Ze Cheng not go easy on her, but he will also show her what harsh reality is.

Amano Aki wasn't easily intimidated.

Unfazed by the challenge, she confidently negotiated with Kazuya Sawashiro: "If I pass, the next film will be primarily my responsibility for creation, and my opinion will be paramount. Do you agree?"

Amano Aki also had her own agenda, and her plans were shattered right in front of Sawashiro Kazuya.

Ze Cheng couldn't help but laugh, but still agreed to Amano Aki's bold idea and solemnly promised her, "No problem. If you submit a passing grade, not only will we use your ending this time, but we'll also use your script for the next movie we make. You'll be the boss on set."

If this can inspire Amano Aki's desire to learn and create, then even if she messes it up, it's not a big deal, and Sawashiro Kazuya is willing to take this gamble for her.

Amano Aki didn't think that much about it; she just knew she had a chance.

She extended her little finger, requesting interaction from Kazuya Sawashiro: "It's a deal. I'll write the ending in a few days and I'll definitely win you over, okay?"

"Good luck..."

Ze Chenghe didn't interact with her either, as that would be too childish.

The two of them are almost 50 years old combined, and they're making this kind of promise that only children would make. If word gets out, they'll probably be laughed at. Kazuya Sawashiro should also be mindful of his personal image and not let the childish Aki Amano hold him back.

He's now considered a semi-famous person.

He transformed from a bankrupt president into an outstanding role model for the stock exchange.

If he hadn't held onto Amano Aki, this high-quality stock, and remained steadfast even under those circumstances, how could they have seen the light at the end of the tunnel? Therefore, investors should learn from his spirit and not give up just because of temporary setbacks.

Only those who dare to persevere can survive in this market.

Think about him, when he was struggling, he even lived in an internet cafe. Aren't all of you driving luxury cars, living in mansions, and surrounded by beautiful women? Go ahead and invest boldly and confidently; going all in is a sign of wisdom…

Well, that's how Kazuya Sawashiro became an investment god in the eyes of some people.

Closer to home.

Amano Aki wasn't happy about Sawashiro Kazuya's low mood and lack of cooperation, so she didn't care whether Sawashiro Kazuya agreed or not, and hooked her arm around Sawashiro Kazuya's hand, making her childish pact: "Wait for me to catch up and create our own miracle."

...

Scriptwriting is a challenge.

Indeed, many screenwriters plan out the beginning and ending before writing, and then think about how to arrange the plot in the middle, so as not to go astray and create a work that is different from the theme.

But this is something a professional screenwriter can do; a newbie like Amano Aki can't.

She was so proud when she boasted to Kazuya Sawashiro, but she was also so pathetic when she was alone, hugging her knees and racking her brains. Even though the plot outline was right in front of Aki Amano, she couldn't come up with a good ending.

"Do I think I should ask Kazuya Sawashiro for help?"

Amano Aki returned to the agency with these thoughts in mind, but what she saw was Sawashiro Kazuya studying alone in front of the computer. His lonely figure was heartbreaking to see, and she couldn't bear to disturb him.

"I'm back." After greeting everyone, Amano Aki sat down next to Sawashiro Kazuya.

She also needs to learn.

"Welcome back. There's fruit in the fridge that the teachers sent over," Ze Cheng said without looking up, knowing that it was Amano Aki who had returned. "They didn't have a wedding; they went straight on their honeymoon overseas, so they sent over the leftovers from the fridge."

"Honeymoon?"

"Yes, they were engaged a long time ago. Didn't I tell you before?"
