Change the world with entertainment with Yokai Girl

For the sake of saving face, the director, several assistant directors, and the producer of the "Legal High" production team are sitting in a spacious room at Penglai Entertainment Company conducting casting interviews.

Girls aged ten to fifteen came here and gave a performance, hoping to be noticed by the director and become an overnight sensation.

However, this audition was just a smokescreen. A few girls who came for the audition would be selected to stay and given screen time in later episodes, which would be enough to fool the audience.

It was agreed from the beginning that the newcomers would be assigned by Penglai Company to perform. Out of consideration for the investors, the TV series directors and assistant directors who worked for Penglai Company dared not say anything even if they had objections.

Meanwhile, after passing through the clouds, the black car appeared directly in a small grove of trees on private land owned by the Penglai Group in Tokyo. Upon arriving there, to avoid unnecessary trouble, Black Fox moved to the driver's seat and pretended to rest his hand on the steering wheel.

Even without pressing the accelerator, the black car still drove smoothly down the mountain along the narrow road shaded by green trees on both sides. It was only a few kilometers away from Penglai Entertainment Company.

Penglai Entertainment is located in a plaza in downtown Tokyo. In this city where land is extremely valuable, in addition to the large building, there is also a small plaza with planted trees outside, which can be described as quite wealthy and extravagant.

Qin Jing, in the midst of the storm, gently pulled at the door, her voice trembling with the gentle breeze. She looked at the woman, her voice trembling with the gentle breeze ...

"His appearance is perfectly fine! It has exceeded my expectations."

"How should I put it? No wonder he was a child directly assigned by the upper echelons of Penglai. His quality is truly unmatched."

"But what's with coming over dressed in a tracksuit?"

"She's cute, but a bit too quiet. I actually prefer the peach-shaped girl who auditioned two years ago," the director said with a knowing smile.

At least in this respect, the humble, flat-chested candidate in front of us can't compete with the peaches of the other side.

"Let's not talk about anything else, everything's already settled," the man who seemed to be the producer said, then turned to Qin Jing and asked, "By the way, do you have any acting experience before?"

"No, unless the school's stage play counts," Qin Jing replied, honestly feeling quite uncomfortable being looked at like merchandise.

The director frowned again after hearing Qin Jing say she had no experience.

"Oh, this voice is lovely! This child has potential!" the producer exclaimed.

"The voice is nice, very catchy, but it's a bit androgynous. If I hadn't seen it like this, I would have thought it was a teenager speaking."

"And what's the point of you showing up in a tracksuit? Besides, to generate buzz, we need more attractive elements!" the director said, frowning. Although he wasn't exactly a principled art-house film director, he still had some aspirations.

"..." Qin Jing remained silent. If he weren't being held down by Black Fox and given a gag order, he would really want to confront them. How could anyone see such a handsome and dashing literary youth as a somewhat androgynous girl?!

Dai Dai stepped forward at this moment; now was the time for her to demonstrate her abilities.

“We have top-notch makeup artists in the industry, and we can change clothes anytime. Plus, we have our own selling points…” Dai Dai said, then whispered something in the director’s ear.

"What! The setting is that they are genderless lunar people? Underneath their skirts are Schrödinger's clones. We'll never know the real result until we lift them up and take a look! This is a must!" The director's eyes lit up and he shouted.

"Yes! This is definitely going to be a hit! By the way, regarding the child 'Jingyue,' I heard that the head office has a lot of big plans coming up?" the producer inquired.

"..." Qin Jing wondered curiously, 'Who are you talking about?'

“Yes, ‘Jingyue’ is a super newcomer being promoted by Penglai Agency. She will have roles in popular TV series and movies in the future, so there’s no need to worry about her not becoming a hot topic,” Dai Dai said with a smile, pushing up her glasses.

"Great! Great! Compared to that 'Peach Sister' who'd turn to the sex industry if she didn't get cast in an acting role, this one is much better!" the director declared.

"Yes, I think the director is right too."

"Me too."

The assistant directors echoed each other, and since the director and producer had already agreed, no one else dared to have any further objections.

When the director first looked at Qin Jing without makeup, she seemed like a cute androgynous girl. But after a closer look, he became more and more fond of her and found that she really had a lot of potential.

"Jingyue-kun? Jingyue-chan? I'm looking forward to your performance!" Director Liu Mu said to Qin Jing with a smile. Although he was very picky about actors, as long as they were helpful to the drama he was filming, he was willing to do anything.

"Huh? Um! Okay, Director Liu Mu. Just call me Jingyue." Qin Jing was nudged by the black fox behind her before she reacted and replied.

The director said, "Let's try out some costumes first and see how it goes. You'll be playing a simple young girl during wartime. It's rare to find an actress with such high caliber, and I want to aim for an effect that will immediately amaze the audience."

"No, I think that's asking too much of him," Qin Jing said honestly. You can't expect a boy like Zu Xian, the ethereal female ghost in A Chinese Ghost Story, or Qingxia, the red-clad beauty emerging from a bath in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, to stun the audience the moment he appears.

"Okay, okay, let's go get our makeup done now, let's go! Jingyue-chan." Dai Dai grabbed Qin Jing's hand and dragged him to the empty dressing room that Penglai Entertainment Company had prepared.

If filming is taking place in another city, these dressing rooms will be replaced with large vans, which can not only be used for makeup, but also for showering and cooking. As Black Fox said, Penglai Entertainment Company will become Qin Jing's strong support, and Qin Jing only needs to focus on acting.

Pushing open the dressing room door, the makeup artist's chameleon-like, monstrous appearance was already waiting there for quite some time.

Section 133, Chapter 66: Jingyue's Costume Trial in Progress

“This time, you’ll be playing a simple young girl from the old society during wartime,” Dai Dai instructed.

"Okay, leave it to me!" Xi Semao took out various tools with both hands, skillfully twirling them in her hands, and readily agreed.

"Please sit down, Lady Qin Jing. Let me put the wig on for you." Xi Semao pulled Qin Jing to a chair and made him sit down. Although she acted very humble and somewhat weak in front of Qin Jing, she was still a seasoned expert in this field.

The chameleon clan is arguably the most skilled at manipulating color among all yokai. Not only can they easily change color to blend into different natural environments, but they can also make their subordinates match the most suitable colors under different environments and lighting conditions.

The goal is to avoid making the actors' fair skin appear deathly pale under strong light, or making their skin appear overly dark under artificial light; instead, it should be a healthy wheat-colored complexion.

The reason Su Jiu was able to assign Qin Jing as her beauty stylist was naturally because she had unique skills.

Now is her time to demonstrate her skills; she will fight with all her might for humanity, blessed by the God of Hair.

At this moment, Qin Jing reached out to stop the eager-to-try-it-out girl and said calmly, "Thank you, but you don't need the wig."

After Qin Jing finished speaking, he activated the power of his tail and transformed into Fox Jing. His long hair grew out naturally. Since receiving the blessing of the hairdresser and the seven children, his hair also had some wonderful abilities. Even without styling, it could become incredibly smooth and soft.

After taking a nap, the fox tail also established a connection with the body's consciousness, and no longer moved automatically as before. It was now as integrated as the other parts of the body.

Qin Jing can now hide her tail after transforming. As long as she presses down the two tufts of hair on her head that stick up like animal ears, she is no different from the monsters in the academy's middle school district after they transform.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! As expected of a child blessed by the God of Hair, young master, your hair is truly amazing. I've worked on several monster celebrities, and although they are radiant, their hair is nothing compared to yours." Xi Sema touched Qin Jing's long hair, praising it in amazement, and then, deeply moved and devout, braided Qin Jing's hair into three braids.

"Is that so... I feel like everything's fine no matter what." Qin Jing resigned herself to letting the monsters do as they pleased.

Then a girl with braided pigtails and dressed in old-fashioned cloth clothes appeared before everyone. Her long, smooth, dark hair was divided into three strands and intertwined together, swaying gently as she moved.

The simple linen clothes were a little loose on the girl's thin body. Her face looked very thin through makeup, which made her look very pitiful. However, she was full of energy and vitality, especially her bright and spirited eyes, which seemed to say that no matter what environment she was in, she would never give up hope.

Fox Jing returned to the interview room in this manner.

"Oh, she has the feel of a literary girl from the old days! This simple and pure feeling is just wonderful!" The producer looked at Qin Jing in amazement and clapped repeatedly.

"Director, this is the promotional plan for Jingyue's multi-drama project. Please take a look." At this moment, Dai Dai came to the table and handed the director a stack of documents.

"Okay." The director took the proposal and began to read it carefully.

"How's it going, Director? Is it okay now? Can the auditions be over?" The producer nudged the director, who was lost in thought while looking at the proposal, and asked.

Director Liu pondered for a moment and said, "No... this is a rare opportunity. So next I want a modern, playful girl, and remember to show a bit of a cunning little devil."

"This time we're going for a modern, playful girl vibe," Dai Dai said as she pulled Qin Jing inside.

"Okay, Lady Qin Jing, let me help you untangle your hair," Xi Semao said as she ran up.

"No need to trouble yourself." As soon as Qin Jing closed the door to the dressing room, he transformed back into a man. When he transformed back into Fox Jing, the three braids on his head returned to their usual long, straight black hair.

'The feeling of a little devil?' Qin Jing pondered for a moment, imagining Su Jiu's wicked smile, then making her age several thousand years younger, and the image of a wickedly smiling young girl appeared in her mind.

This time, Xi Sema helped Fox Jing change into a modern-style crimson short skirt, with her slender legs covered in black stockings, only revealing a glimpse of white skin between the skirt and her thighs, and wearing low-heeled black leather boots.

Then a fashionable girl with a sweet and lovely smile, but whose eyes revealed a mischievous feeling of wanting to play a prank, appeared in front of the director.

The young woman smiled and confidently displayed her charm in front of others, looking directly at the director and his team to gauge their opinions of her. She was beautiful without being vulgar, like a thorny red rose.

"Fantastic! Fantastic! It perfectly matches the character in the play." The producer clapped repeatedly.

"Honestly, Xiao Jing, I was actually looking forward to seeing you shy." The director nodded in satisfaction and joked.

"It's too much to ask me to feel ashamed now," Qin Jing thought to herself. It's just wearing women's clothes. She's already used to the body, let alone the clothes.

"Then next one, this time I want a rebellious girl with a tomboyish look," the director instructed.

This time, Qin Jing went back to her usual short hair, changed into a black long coat and trousers, and put on a bancho hat like Jotaro from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, exuding a domineering boyish charm while subtly revealing a hint of cuteness.

"What do you want from me? What are you looking at!" Qin Jing, dressed in a black uniform, hunched over, hands in her pockets, and glared at Jill, mimicking her manner.

"Wow, that's impressive!" the producer exclaimed.

“Great! Great! Next one, this time I want a cute boyish feel,” Director Liu Mu said.

Upon hearing the director's request, Qin Jing didn't think much of it and went back to the dressing room. He had already completed the challenge of dressing as a woman, so why would he be afraid of dressing as a man?

However, the producer and assistant director looked at director Liu Mu with a puzzled expression. They knew that there were very few actors who could truly handle both genders, and it wasn't just a matter of appearance.

Many actresses, even with beards and dressed as men, still portray women, not even effeminate men. For cross-dressing, temperament and presence are crucial; it requires both talent and skill. Naturally, very few actors can achieve this.

"Director Liu Mu, isn't this asking too much of us? Jingyue's performance has already far exceeded our expectations," the producer said.

“Yes, initially we wanted to find a child star who could amaze the audience and generate buzz, and we’ve already exceeded that goal,” the assistant director chimed in.

"No, if Jingyue really wants to do what's said in these plans, then she will definitely meet my requirements." The director looked at the astonishingly large-scale projects in his hands and said in a deep voice.

A moment later, when Qin Jing returned after changing her clothes, everyone in the production team was stunned. In fact, this was Qin Jing's most natural and charming pose.

This was the first time that everyone in the directing team, including director Liu Mu, had witnessed an actor who could so perfectly handle both genders. In fact, whenever such an actor appears, as long as they work hard enough to seize the opportunity, they become a classic of an era.

"Sebastian, serve tea." A boy dressed in aristocratic Western-style clothes and shorts sat with his legs crossed in a Western-style chair, leisurely flipping through a book.

Fair skin, long, thick black eyelashes, a lazy air with an inherent aristocratic arrogance, and a calm demeanor that exudes an authority that commands obedience and is impossible to refuse.

Director Liu Mu, with his discerning eye, originally thought that Jingyue, who could portray the female character so well, must be a girl with a somewhat androgynous temperament, appearance, and voice. But now, for the first time, he began to doubt his own judgment.

I recall when this child first arrived here, he was wearing sportswear and slippers, with such a carefree and nonchalant demeanor.

Could it be that this child is really, as the story suggests, an alien of unknown gender?

Thinking about this, Liu Mu shook his head, amused by his own strange idea.

P.S.: (Friends, did you find this kind of entertainment-themed plot interesting? Please give me some feedback so I can consider writing more about it or skipping it as soon as possible.)

Section 134, Chapter 67: Welcome Jing to the Cast

Liu Mu exchanged glances with the producer and assistant directors, all of whom could see the amazement and subsequent disbelief in Jing Yue's beauty.

Qin Jing, sitting there, was flipping through a book. She had casually picked up an acting guide from the props department and found it surprisingly interesting. It mentioned many strange and wonderful stories about famous actors, and she read it with great interest.

This action took on another meaning in the eyes of the production team. The previously noble and arrogant young master now had an added air of refined wisdom and scholarly elegance.

The production team was even more puzzled. This alien boy with his ever-changing temperament was like a mysterious book, with new surprises every time a new page was turned.

Or is it really all thanks to the makeup artists and stylists? What kind of makeup and styling can create such a versatile actor?

He molded a child into various characters with different personalities and temperaments. He transformed a pure and simple literary girl into a fashionable and mischievous little devil, and how did he turn a fierce and violent girl into the elegant young nobleman he is today?

Meanwhile, in the dressing room, stylist Xi Sema was squatting on the floor, sobbing.

Despite being a bodyguard, Ya Zi was incompetent and was just wandering around the neighborhood when he happened to pass by the dressing room and heard a noise. He opened the door and saw Xi Se Mao crying.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Did Qin Jing bully you?" Ya Zi walked over and asked curiously.

My younger brother's habit is not good. Even if a boy is prettier than a girl, he shouldn't bully girls, right?

"Waaah... No, it's because I'm so useless. Lady Qin Jing's qualities are just too good. No wonder she's a human chosen by the gods. I was able to help her put on those women's clothes and apply some makeup."

“But now that it’s men’s clothing… Lady Qin Jing, I’m completely useless except for handing you a piece of clothing! Waaah…” Xi Se Mao cried as she explained. She was now deeply doubting why all her years of training in makeup and styling had been for nothing.

All Xi Semao could do was desperately pray that Qin Jing would only play female roles from now on! That way, she could at least show her value.

"What incredible makeup and styling skills! Is this a secret technique unique to the Penglai headquarters? If it's facial makeup, or how to make breasts bigger, I can understand."

But when dressing as a man or a woman, even the back frame and waistline can change thickness. How is that possible? Is this the legendary Peerless Sword Bone that can alter bones? Even the producer, who had been praising him, asked in surprise.

"Haha, you're joking. It's because our excellent makeup artists are not only skilled in makeup, but also in anatomy, fashion, and styling. Anyway, I believe everyone is satisfied with Jingyue's performance." Dai Dai, the business negotiation expert, pushed up her glasses and smiled as she looked at the directing team.

"Ah...ah! Of course!" The assistant directors, completely stunned by the large budget and the quality of the actors, were stunned for a moment, then nodded repeatedly.

"Jingyue! Please join our production team! Let's create a new ratings record!" the director excitedly ran up and said.

"Ah...ah! Okay, please take care of me." Qin Jing was stunned for a moment before realizing that the other person was talking to her.

"Director Liu Mu, what do you think of the proposal I showed you before?" At this moment, Dai Dai walked forward with a smile and extended her hand.

"Please be sure to cooperate with our production team and proceed according to this plan. The child actor's name will be directly changed to Jingyue. Of course, we'll also entrust your company with the subsequent publicity." The director said with a smile, shaking hands with Dai Dai.

"Of course! Well then... thank you all for your hard work. Jingyue and I have other work to do, so we'll be leaving now. We'll definitely be at the filming location on time tomorrow." Dai Dai pulled Qin Jing and bowed to the director team to say goodbye.

So, Qin Jing gathered her team members and was put back into the black car. Under Black Fox's direction, the car drove away.

"Wait, I haven't changed my clothes yet!" Qin Jing was still wearing her aristocratic gentleman's attire. The clothes were exquisitely made, and it wouldn't be out of place to wear them to a banquet.

However, if you were to wear it as casual clothes on the street, you probably wouldn't stand out anywhere except in Harajuku, where individuality is valued, and Akihabara, where cosplay is everywhere.

“No need to change. The person we’re going to meet next will be most convincing in this outfit,” Black Fox said from the driver’s seat.
