She cried for a long time but couldn't cry out.

His entire face was distorted, making him look extremely ugly.

After he finished his performance.

The director politely told him to go back and wait for news.

However, in Kitahara Makoto's opinion, this person was basically eliminated.

After all, even an outsider like him could see that this guy's acting was bad, so the producer and director, as professionals in the industry, could see it even more clearly.

Unless this guy has some powerful backer.

But that's none of his business.

After selling the film and television adaptation rights to Sony Columbia, how to adapt it is their business, and it's not his place to worry about it.

That's what Kitahara Makoto was thinking.

But he was soon slapped in the face.

"Hello, teachers. My name is Yui Aragaki, and I'm auditioning for the lead actress..."

A very cute and sweet-looking girl walked in.

He bowed politely to the three people inside the room.

Kitahara Makoto said with a somewhat strange expression.

"Yui-chan, what brings you here?"

"what?"

"Ah Zhen, what are you doing here?"

Hearing the familiar voice, Yui Aragaki looked up in surprise.

He looked quite surprised when he saw Kitahara Makoto sitting opposite him.

Because Sony Columbia did not publicize the fact that the original author, Makoto Kitahara, would be attending the audition.

Kitahara Makoto himself never mentioned it to her.

So she had no idea that Kitahara Shinya was there.

"Does Mr. Kitahara and Ms. Aragaki know each other?"

Producer Yasuki Kawamoto, who was standing nearby, asked with a smile.

"Yui and I are good friends."

Kitahara Shin explained for a moment, then changed the subject.

"Time is tight, let's do the audition first!"

"it is good."

Kawamoto Yasuki turned to Aragaki Yui and asked.

"Ms. Aragaki, are you ready?"

"I'm ready."

Seeing that the audition was about to begin, Yui Aragaki took a deep breath and temporarily suppressed the various distracting thoughts in her mind.

"Then please act out a scene where you smile while crying."

Kawamoto Yasuki stated the question.

Yui Aragaki paused briefly to prepare herself.

Then a warm smile appeared on his lips.

But tears welled up in her eyes.

Like a withered flower, it evokes pity and sorrow in those who see it.

"Okay, then next..."

Kawamoto Yasuki then had Aragaki Yui read a line from the script.

Yui Aragaki's performance in this scene was rather average.

"Okay, thank you for coming. Please go back and wait. We will get back to you later."

Yui Aragaki hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.

He glanced at Kitahara Makoto and saw the encouragement in his eyes. Feeling a warmth in his heart, he bowed again and then left the room.

"Teacher Kitahara, what did you think of Ms. Aragaki's performance just now?"

After Yui Aragaki left.

Kawamoto Yasuki turned to Kitahara Makoto and asked.

He was met with a mocking look in the eyes of the two seasoned veterans.

Kitahara Shin said without any attempt to hide his feelings.

"I think it's excellent!"

"How about letting Ms. Yui Aragaki play the lead role?"

"can."

Kitahara nodded.

This is the way the world is.

No matter where you are, you have to consider power and connections.

Especially in the entertainment industry.

There's only so much good stuff.

Yet there is so much competition among artists.

Without power and connections, why would anyone support you?

Just because you're a good actor?

There are plenty of actors with great acting skills, yet a large number of them still flop.

Since this is the usual practice in the entire circle.

Kitahara Makoto, of course, wouldn't let his abilities go to waste by pretending to be aloof.

……

After the audition in the afternoon.

Kitahara Makoto arrived at the underground parking garage.

"Ah Zhen!"

Just as I was about to open the car door, a beautiful figure stepped out from the side.

Then Kitahara Makoto felt a warm, cozy person bump into his arms, with a sweet fragrance.

Taking a greedy drag of the aroma, Kitahara Makoto asked with a smile:

"Why are you here?"

"I'm waiting for you."

Yui Aragaki looked up and gave a slightly goofy smile.

Combined with her virtuous wife and loving mother appearance, and her energetic face.

Kitahara couldn't resist giving her a light bite on the cheek.

"Where's your agent? Why isn't he with you?"

"I told her and the driver to go back first."

Yui Aragaki said something with a smile, and then suddenly said something else.

"Thank you, Zhen."

Why are you thanking me all of a sudden?

"Thank you for helping me get the female lead role."

How do you know it was me who got it for you?

Kitahara asked, somewhat surprised.

"Because producer Yasuki Kawamoto told my agent that it was your strong recommendation that made me the lead actress."

"This is producer Kawamoto."

Kitahara couldn't help but chuckle.

However, he also knew that Kawamoto Yasuki was trying to curry favor with him, which was why he said that on purpose.

He didn't deny it, but instead joked.

"You only offered verbal thanks? Nothing substantial at all?"

"Of course not."

Yui Aragaki shook her head and said happily.

"I'll treat you to dinner."

"Okay, let's get in the car then."

Kitahara Shin opened the car door and let Aragaki Yui get in first, then he got into the driver's seat himself...

……

Yui Aragaki made a reservation at a high-end restaurant in advance.

After the two had eaten and drunk their fill...

Kitahara drove her home.

Back downstairs, just as Kitahara was about to leave.

Yui Aragaki suddenly said.

"Would you like to go up and sit down?"

"Ok?"

Kitahara Shin turned around in surprise.

The girl lowered her head, her hair, which was beginning to grow long, fluttering in the evening breeze, and a faint sound came from beneath her hair.

"Tonight, I... I have no one at home."

"..."

Kitahara Makoto remained silent for a while.

Suddenly, he stepped forward and picked up the girl in a princess carry, then sprinted towards the elevator at top speed.

"what!"

Yui Aragaki gasped in surprise, then shyly buried her head in his chest.

Her little face turned frighteningly red.

But his eyes were unusually bright.

……

pat.

Soft light spread, dispelling the darkness in the room.

A small but clean, tidy, and very cozy room appeared (dede) in front of Kitahara Makoto.
