It seems to be that guy from the orchestra club... and that guy from the entertainment industry...
"Ah, you guys are from Tsuki no Mori, right? I remember..."
"Yes! I'm Nagasaki Suyo, a first-year high school student!"
"Wakaba Mu."
"Yeah! I remember!" Touzi put her hands on her waist, holding the water bottle, and waved to Xian Juanwei:
"Xianjuan-kun's press conference is coming up soon, so I won't bother you guys for now... Oh, by the way, the keyboard accompaniment sound source you shared last time got a good review from Xiaobai. Would you like to be Morfonica's support keyboardist for the next joint live with Circle?"
"Haha, please spare me, Touko-san..." Although Touko is a Yang-style character similar to Kokoro, Genmaki Yui always feels that she can't handle her.
"Eh? There shouldn't be a conflict in schedule, right? Didn't Xianjuan-kun take his keyboard to Africa a few days ago to accompany Xin and the others? HHW probably won't be able to come back for the next live performance at Circle, right?" Touzi thought, putting her finger on her chin.
Xianjuan Wei's eyelids twitched slightly. News spread very quickly among the old bands. As long as a band's account posted an update, everyone would know the news within two days.
"Well, forget it, Genjumaki-kun has his own difficulties too." Touko put the water bottle behind her back and waved at Genjumaki Yui:
"I wish Genjumaki-kun's movie a big hit at the box office. I have to go to the music store with Ruyi later, so I'll take my leave now. Bye~"
Aine’s eyes widened slightly as she watched Toruko Kiritani leave.
Uh, should I say it's as if Genmaki-san is worthy of her, with so many young ladies from Tsuki no Mori in her network? I've already met three today...
Su Shi opened his lips slightly and followed the others to the backstage of the press conference. After a long time, he blinked and whispered to Ruoye Mu beside him with hesitation:
"Xiao Mu... Wei-san... is he also a keyboard player?"
Before, I had no idea, and no one told her...
Ruoye Mu looked up at Su Shi's face, and pressed the corners of his mouth into a slight unhappy arc.
"I know a little, but not as good as Xiang."
Therefore, Su Shi should just continue to look for Xiang as before...
Chapter 100: Xianjuan Family's "Investment is Not High"
"Is this true...it turns out Genmaki-san wasn't joking!"
At the backstage preparation area for the press conference, Aiyin felt her heart pounding as she looked at the gray-haired old man wearing glasses.
What director is Aine's favorite? X Notake? X Mellon? X Spielberg? Do you have a favorite movie genre? Comedy? Romance? Sci-fi?
I probably go to the cinema to watch the most talked-about blockbusters...
So... Xianjuan-san actually invited this director who broke global box office records?!
It can't really be because of my preference, right?
No, no, I think I took into account the opinions of Wakaba Mutsu or Nagasaki Suyo. After all, they are ranked higher than me.
Otherwise, it would be too exaggerated! It would...scare me.
"Hello, Ladies."
The director, who was dressed like a retired old man next door, saw several actors and stood up from his seat to welcome them.
The three people other than Aine also showed different expressions on their faces after recognizing the director's identity.
Ruo Ye Mu was racking her brains to figure out why her fiancé had done something so big again.
Su Shi looked at Xiao Mu beside him, and after thinking for a while, he felt that it seemed very reasonable - it seemed normal for classmate Wei to make a movie with his fiancée as the leading actress no matter what level of director he invited.
Mana cheered in her heart - as expected, the president would not allow a movie starring two girls with a special relationship, Komu and Motoya, to become a failure!
MANA-chan, my first step into the entertainment industry is going to be an easy win!
Wakaba Mutsu and others responded to the director's welcome. In order to find the source of the uneasy feeling that "he is doing something big again", the TV in the spiritual world was rapidly replaying the scenes that the brothers and sisters of the Haruka family experienced when they were young.
"Snapped."
In the spiritual world, Ruoye Mu, who was sitting on the sofa with the lights off, pressed the pause button on the remote control.
"This is it."
On the TV screen, young Mutsushi Wakaba, Shoko Toyokawa, Hatsuka Mikado, Yui Genmaki and Shin Genmaki were lying on the top of Hatsuka Island looking at the stars.
Suddenly, the sky defied the weather forecast and started to drizzle.
Xianjuanwei held an umbrella for Xianjuanxin, giving her time to take out her raincoat from her backpack, while looking at the night sky with a somewhat dissatisfied look.
After a while, everyone put on raincoats. Because they were worried about the slippery road in the rain, they decided to stay on the top of the mountain for the time being and wait until the rain stopped before going down the mountain.
"Watching the stars in the rain is also a very special experience!" Little Xiangzi, wearing a blue raincoat, opened his arms and looked at the night sky with energy.
The umbrella held by Xian Juanwei was still covering Xian Juanxin's head. Under the light golden raincoat, Xiao Xinxin's eyes were filled with thought: "But there are dark clouds in the sky. Will they block the stars?"
Xin Xianjuan was wearing a raincoat of the same color as Xin Xianjuan, who was holding an umbrella. She smiled and looked at the little girl beside her with gentle eyes: "Xin Xin makes sense... Haha, I understand."
Wakaba Mutsu, who was following Xiangzi at the time, didn't know what the words "I know" meant.
However, when they arrived at Chuhua Island again the following year, the second largest planetarium in Neon had been built on it. Chuhua also enthusiastically took everyone to visit the most impressive landmark building on the island.
In the spiritual world, Ruo Yemu made another "click" sound, adjusting the TV channel to this year and fast-forwarding to the present.
Then he added a ¥ symbol at the end and crossed it out; after hesitating for a moment, he changed it to $ and filled in a ? at the end.
"It shouldn't be that serious..." Ruo Yemu whispered to himself.
After all, the highest box office in film history is only about 3 billion dollars. No matter what, Wei Jun wouldn't spend 2 billion to make a movie that will definitely not make much money at the box office...
After all, this amount of money is enough to make up for the deficit caused by Uncle Fengchuan fifteen or sixteen times. If Xiang knew about it, he might faint.
In reality, Ruo Ye Mu raised his eyes slightly and looked at Ling Meng Fa Aiyin who had a nervous face.
Aiyin was carefully trying to find out how much Weijun had offered to persuade this director to make this film, which was said to be for children and in which the four actors were basically amateurs.
After all, after seeing this director, Aine fell into a state of panic after a brief period of joy and excitement - this movie doesn't look like the low-cost one that Genmaki-san said!
Although some people are more concerned about being asked about their pay and are sometimes restricted by confidentiality agreements, Ruoye Mu is as curious about this issue as Aine.
"Haha, Mr. Xianjuan and I chatted for an hour. I didn't expect that our pursuits and views on art would be so consistent."
The director's words were conveyed through the translator, and the four girls listened attentively.
"So, after receiving the invitation from Mr. Xianjuan, who shared the same ideals as me, I decided to direct this film for free."
Ruoye Mu's long eyelashes trembled. According to her common sense, this was definitely not the whole truth.
He said "Eh" and covered his mouth, his face full of incredible surprise.
Well... even if Xianjuan-san gets along well with the director, that's not a reason to not want pay, right?
After all, there are so many film companies that want to invite him to direct, and the time to produce works is extremely precious to them.
Su Shi rubbed her fingers gently, not believing such a beautiful story at all.
"Of course, what I just said is what we will say to the media in the future." The director smiled kindly and added:
"The real reason, please keep it secret for now, ladies."
The four crew members perked up after hearing this.
"In fact, Mr. Xianjuan and I do get along very well on art. Mr. Xianjuan and I both agree that although War and Peace is an immortal masterpiece, there are actually many more stories and perspectives to explore about that historical period."
"So, Mr. Xianjuan and I were both very interested in that emperor and wanted me to direct the film, without using special effects or considering the budget, to use the spirit and techniques of that time to shoot a film that reflects the Napoleonic era."
"From Toulon to Italy, Egypt, the War of the Three Emperors, the Russo-French War, Waterloo... we must film it, using the most rigorous research to leave behind another treasure for mankind."
"There's already an insurmountable masterpiece, so it's very difficult to do something like this, but Mr. Genjumaki and I both want to take on the challenge."
The director closed his eyes and took a deep breath, as if he was still savoring the excitement of his mood at that time.
"I thought that in this era, no one would invest so many resources and take such great risks to shoot such a work."
"That could be my last film. I've long since given up on money, and I'm lucky enough to have the opportunity to shoot a film like this without having to consider the cost. Even if I die directing it, my only regret would be not being able to see the final product with my own eyes."
Su Shi's fingers on her other hand turned slightly white:
"The 'War and Peace' you're talking about... is it the seven-hour movie from over forty years ago?"
The director nodded with a pleased smile.
Mana felt dizzy again due to low blood sugar.
If Ye Mu escaped back to the spiritual world, he would consider whether to change the "2" on the note to "5" or "8".
Su Shi turned around bewilderedly and looked at his companion beside him. His voice trembled as he asked again:
"That movie back then...how much did it cost?"
"$1.3 million." The director looked at the ceiling with a hint of fanaticism on his face.
"1.3 million nearly 50 years ago."
"So, out of respect for Mr. Xianjuan, I will definitely not charge any compensation for making this movie for you ladies."
Aiyin felt a tightness and shortness of breath in her chest, which had no burden at all, as if she was going to faint from the suffocation.
Indeed... the investment is indeed not high!
After all, even the director's salary is zero, and the actors probably didn't get much either, it's just that the costs were all included in another movie, haha...
Woo… If I had known this earlier, I would never have agreed to ask Genmaki-san for “a little favor”.
Even if you sell me, it won’t be enough to pay even a fraction of the “salary” the director offered, right?
Now even the director has been invited, and if I retreat and run away now, I will feel sorry for classmate Xianjuan for the rest of my life, right?
Whether Xianjuan-san hired this director with the salary of a world-class movie because of me is no longer important. I really hope that none of this has happened...
The dizzy Aiyin was about to fall, but someone supported her back in time.
A cute voice came out from the leather case behind Aiyin through the voice changer:
"Don't feel burdened. It was my own wish to make that film. Actually, there are many more I want to make, but I'm just worried that it won't pass the censorship."
"So, everyone, just be happy and join me in capturing the memories of your youth in this movie."
Xianjuan Wei reached out and lifted up the limp Aiyin, placing her on a chair beside him.
Although there was a layer of leather between them, Xianjuan Wei confirmed...the squeezing pressure on Aine's side was only slightly higher than 0, and was not as strong as the oppressive feeling when she hugged Xiaomu at night.
The pre-chicken-dog era: The twelve most enjoyable episodes of Hen Ka
I won’t say much about whether it’s bad or not, as everyone has tasted it enough before. In this episode, I can only say that the changes between Toyokawa Ryuto and Shoko are hilarious.
So when Lao Deng said, “You have no idea how dark the Toyokawa family is,” he meant that you can’t control the darkness that your crotch brings to you?
So, Toyokawa Laodeng, you're the one who's most afraid of Xiangzi's breath in the whole play?!
Then why did you act like a bull demon in the first two episodes, saying "Hatsune, go back" in the first episode, and "Xiangzi, go study in Switzerland and don't come back" in the second episode? Then you got scared when Xiangzi really breathed on you, and you didn't even dare to let your granddaughter and daughter play in the water in the garden?
The bodyguards watched Xiangzi running all the way to Chuhua Island and didn't dare to stop him. Lao Deng really didn't dare to use force against Xiangzi at all.
Before, the father and daughter lived a miserable life outside. When Xiangzi came to his senses, he said casually, "I'll trouble Lao Deng to take care of Zhongdeng."
It turns out that the Toyokawa family’s dirty tricks prevented the agency from allowing the hen card to resume activities. However, as long as I, Xiangzi, have the consciousness of “I want to become a god”, I know that I can just say to the agency, “I am Xiangzi Toyokawa”, the real direct descendant of Toyokawa!
Xiangzi had thought earlier, "Do you dare to disobey me, who has the golden blood of the Toyokawa family?", and realized that it was actually Lao Deng who was more afraid of him. He didn't even dare to say a word when Zhong Deng was stuffed back, so he couldn't even take out the hen card. Now he really regretted not breathing hard earlier.
And...how much role did Mortis, who played a major role in the beginning, play in the growth and character development of Mu?
Seeing it now, I feel that Mu’s growth should be classified as “finally being able to speak”, but when I think about the fact that the original protagonist “Tyrant Xiangzi” was portrayed in less than half the time as the deceased teacher Da Mo, and that he couldn’t regain his character in the end, I can only hold back my laughter.
Although it is still a bit forced, these twelve episodes are still more anthropomorphic than the previous ones. If it was put after the third episode, the overall reputation of the series might be better, but it would definitely not bring so many twists and turns and fun of fake drugs being shattered/come true.
As I stand typing behind the car door, I still want to laugh when I think of Lao Deng's "The Darkness of the Toyokawa Family". I thought your family really has a general behind it, but it turns out the darkness is for you, not Xiangzi?
I can only say that this is the krkrest episode, the most hilarious one.
Chapter 101 I am the only one who has become a leather hook
"Is it... Genmaki-san?"
Aine, who was dragged onto the stool, turned her head and looked at the sound, only to find herself staring into the eyes of a cute pink and white creature.
This cute cat-shaped creature looks inexplicably a bit like a mouse, and its innocent eyes make it easy for people to let down their guard.

But... isn't this cat a little big? It's a whole head taller than Aine!
"Yes, that's me."
Xianjuan Wei's cute voice, converted through a voice changer, came out from under the leather case.
