Chapter 10 Heroine

Nanaya had never felt that a person could be so annoying. Although Hyakumekusa might not be the person Nanaya hated the most, he was definitely the one who was most like a fly.

To be honest, Nanaya still couldn't figure out why the other party had to confront him so fiercely. After all, there was no direct conflict of interest between them. Didn't I tell you that the other party was a man when you were teasing Ori? Is it necessary to make it a life-and-death struggle like this? Are you just bored and have nothing to do? !

"How did he do that?" Nanaya picked up another pair of chopsticks and continued to eat, but his face was so dark that water could drip out of it. The lunch box, which originally did not taste very good, now became even more tasteless.

"It seems that he used his connections to find a few trainees from J Company to act as extras. I didn't notice and let them in. I'm really sorry." Kaiuchii's face was extremely ugly. As the production manager of "Lin Bao", he was actually fooled by a little idol. This kind of thing was definitely an insult.

"No, it has nothing to do with you, Mr. Kaiuchi."

Nanaya finally understood why those extras looked pretty good, it turned out they were potential idols.

Ori asked in confusion: "I remember that J-House is very strict in managing its idols. How could they allow their own people to play supporting roles?"

The stars of J-family are known for their high traffic, popularity and high fees. Because of the high appearance fees, their company has very strict control over the actors below. Even if they are just trainees, they will never be allowed to accept private work.

"Because those people were basically scheduled to be shot, the management there is a bit lax." In order to prevent this matter from being spread, Kaiuchi deliberately lowered his voice and explained, "I have already inquired about it. This is just the idea of that little red man himself. It has nothing to do with the J family itself. After all, no matter how powerful the J family is, they dare not fight us [Lin Bao]. I guess this is the only trick that little red man can do. Kiryu, you don't need to care."

Nanaya nodded: "Well, what I have to do now is to make the movie as perfect as possible. Everything else will be discussed after I finish the movie."

Using a good movie to directly hit back is more effective than any other verbal counterattack.

"Come on, big brother! I'm rooting for you!"

The little loli on the side was enjoying the fun and gave Nanaya a thumbs up.

"Um."

Nanaya stretched out his hand and rubbed Illya's head, then immediately retracted his hand. It was not because Illya's head was prickly, but because Sera's gaze was too compelling. Nanaya felt that if he hadn't been so eager to survive, the other party would have stabbed him directly and sent him to the hospital.

"Ah...um...Ori, what's the plan for the afternoon shoot?"

In order to hide his embarrassment, Nanaya quickly asked Ori about his work plan.

Ori immediately flipped through the script sheet: "Hmm... It should be the first time Ryougi Shiki passed by the Fujou Building and saw the corpse and the spirit in the sky."

"The heroine's scene? Ori-chan, are you really not going to try it yourself?" Katsura Mamako asked tentatively, rubbing her somewhat round chin.

"Please allow me to refuse."

Ori answered without a second's hesitation.

"By the way, big brother, what kind of heroine are you looking for? The kind that you feel is very beautiful?" Illya's big, blinking eyes were filled with a bright light called gossip.

Nanaya said helplessly: "Well... after all, the budget is limited, so I can only choose a relatively suitable one. She should be here soon."

As he spoke, Nanaya glanced at his watch and found that the agreed time had passed, which made his heart sink.

"senior?"

"It's okay. Someone is probably stuck in traffic." Nanaya pretended to be calm and smiled. "Sister Katsura, when Miss Adachi comes, help her put on makeup immediately. Ori, please prepare her clothes in advance."

Although Nanaya appeared to be very calm, his clenched right hand still revealed his thoughts.

Fortunately, the thing that Nanaya was most worried about did not happen. Half an hour before the shooting started in the afternoon, the heroine's car finally arrived.

"I'm so sorry we're late."

As soon as the black sedan stopped, a young man in a suit rushed out from the driver's seat and bowed to the crew.

"Well... I'm just an extra, the director is over there." The old man who was bowed to madly by the young man looked embarrassed. He pointed at Nanaya and others and said.

"Oh...I'm sorry."

The young man hurriedly trotted towards Nanaya, but as soon as he raised his leg, he tripped over his left foot and fell to the ground.

Looking at this young man who had fallen to the ground, everyone around him had cold sweat on their faces.

"Is this guy here to make fun of me?"

Katsura admired him very much: "He's a very interesting guy. I think he can be a good match for our little bottom."

"No thanks, Sister Katsura! I already have a child!" Ikeda Subaru felt a chill down his spine. He didn't want Katsura to label him with any weird labels. Nanaya and Ori were enough for him.

Nanaya sighed, he walked forward and pulled the guy up.

"Thank you." The young man patted the dust off his clothes and introduced himself, "I'm really sorry, I'm Tamari Tsukasa, Ms. Adachi's agent."

"Newcomer?"

Nanaya raised his eyebrows. He had dealt with many agents, and this guy was obviously a young man who had just entered the workplace.

"Yes..."

Tamari scratched his head sheepishly.

"I remember Ms. Adachi was a child star, right? Why is a newcomer like you her agent?"

Nanaya felt that something was not right, and he suddenly felt that choosing this woman might have been a mistake.

There were many candidates sent from the mainland at the beginning, but basically their conditions were not very good. It's not that they were not good-looking, after all, there was no shortage of good-looking girls in this circle. Nanaya rejected these candidates mainly because their resumes were not good enough. Nanaya's budget was not enough for him to train an actor from scratch.

However, the pay was too low after all. In addition, Nanaya's crew was not well-known, and the well-known actresses looked down on this role.

Nanaya chose Ms. Adachi Satomi because she had debuted as a child star. When she was 10 years old, this actress became famous for a while because of her role in the hit TV series "The Runaway Daughter". Although she has basically lost her popularity in recent years due to various reasons, Nanaya can see from her audition videos of other movies that her acting skills are still there, which is slightly better than other candidates who have no acting skills.

However, the other party's attitude was not good at all. When Nanaya and the casting staff of "Lin Bao" went to talk to her for the first time, the other party directly raised the price and asked for an increase in the salary, and also required a special car to pick her up.

After hearing this request, if it weren't for the staff of Lin Bao holding Nanaya back, he would have wanted to leave on the spot.

I, as a director, don't have the opportunity to have a private car, so how can you have one? It's great to have been a child star! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Finally, after much haggling between the two sides, Miss Adachi's salary was settled at 750,000 yen, and Kaiuchi also specially provided the young lady with a bus belonging to [Lin Bao], but she had to find the driver herself.

Facing Nanaya's questioning, Tamari looked embarrassed: "Well..."

"Actually..." Tamari whispered secretly into Nanaya's ear, "Ms. Adachi hasn't worked for a long time, and the company's previous agent has terminated her contract."

"So after she got the job, she kicked you, the new guy, to her?"

Nanaya could guess that the "big star" wanted a driver, so the agency kicked the newcomer out. As a newcomer in the workplace, Tamari was like a brick, and could be moved wherever needed.

"Anyway, I'm very sorry."

Knowing that he was in the wrong, Tamari could do nothing but bow his head and apologize.

"Forget it, let Miss Adachi get ready quickly, we're about to start." Nanaya waved his hand. He didn't want such trivial matters to delay the progress of the filming. Nanaya, who had already become a money-saving person, didn't want to waste even a little bit of the budget.

Tamari quickly ran back to the car, opened the door and let Adachi Satomi get out.

A young lady with a ponytail got out of the car. She took one look at the dirty, abandoned building and an expression of disgust appeared on her face.

Although the other party's frown was very small, Nanaya still caught it.

"I hope this big star won't do anything weird..."

Watching Adachi being taken to put on makeup by Sister Katsura, Nanaya muttered to himself. As the absolute heroine, Nanaya would allow for appropriate treatment, but if she pretended to be noble and disdainful and caused the crew to become disunited, Nanaya would not want to see it. After all, he did not want to be Kevin Reynolds.
