Chapter 15 Revenge

In a family restaurant not far from the Lin Bao studio, several main creative staff members of the "Kara" crew sat around a table in the corner of the restaurant.

Everyone had a gloomy look on their face, and Nanaya, the film director, was particularly resentful.

"Everyone, I'm so sorry!"

As Adachi Satomi's agent, Tamari Tsukasa knelt on the floor in the dogeza posture in front of everyone.

This morning, Tamari Tsukasa drove to pick up Adachi Satomi as usual, but he waited downstairs for a long time and didn't see her.

Wondering if something had happened, Tamari went to find the apartment manager, only to be told that Adachi Satomi had already moved out and only left a letter explaining the situation.

After reading the letter left by Adachi, Tamari panicked. Coincidentally, Ikeda Subaru also came to the address where Adachi was registered with the crew. After Tamari showed him the letter, he realized that something was wrong, so he immediately contacted Nanaya.

Tamari bowed her head to everyone again and shouted, "I'm so sorry!"

"How dare you say that! As a manager, you can't even control your own clients!" Ikeda grabbed the collar of Tamari's shirt and wanted to beat him up.

Tamari replied sadly: "But there is nothing I can do. Ms. Adachi has a bad temper. I can't say anything about her own affairs!"

"Forget it, let him go. This has nothing to do with him." Nanaya waved his hand tiredly, signaling Ikeda to let go of him.

Nanaya knew that the newcomer Tamari was more like a nanny than a manager for Adachi. Moreover, Adachi Satomi and Tamari were only connected because of the movie "Kara no Kyoukai", and there was no such thing as trust. If Adachi Satomi really wanted to do something, she would not tell Tamari, who was not even a confidant, about it.

"Ah, ah. I didn't expect Miss Adachi to be such a heartless woman."

Shonan was reading the letter left by Adachi Satomi, and this guy rarely showed a serious expression.

Nanaya glanced at the paper in Shonan's hand. He had read the content countless times. The general idea was that she was not optimistic about the movie "Kara no Kyoukai" and was afraid that this bad movie would affect her future, so after repeated consideration, she finally decided to quit the film industry. At the same time, she also warned the crew to delete all the scenes in which she appeared, otherwise she would sue the crew to protect her image rights.

"What a bullshit future! You don't even have the right to use your Lin Daiyu-like face!"

Nanaya cursed angrily. He had never seen such an actor in his two lives. You know, after an actor signs a contract, it is a very serious and malicious breach of contract to break the contract and quit without a very special reason.

This kind of thing can be an unprecedented blow to an actor's acting career. Unless the actor is a big name, it is difficult for the actor to get a contract in the future. After all, you can quit your performance here without reason today, but who knows if you will quit your performance in mine tomorrow.

Of course, there is one exception, that is, the movie the actor participated in is indeed a big bad movie. In this case, you can still use the actor's wisdom to not jump into the pit to fool the audience. But the premise of this situation is that the movie must have a certain degree of attention. Otherwise, who would care whether you starred in a movie that no one cares about? But even so, the actor's credibility in the circle will be greatly reduced.

In fact, in general, what actors usually do is not to quit, but to tell the audience after the filming that it is a bad movie, and that it is bad because of the crew and has nothing to do with me personally.

Therefore, in this situation, it would be detrimental to Satomi Adachi's resignation even for herself.

"What the hell!"

Adachi Satomi's move put Nanaya in a very passive position. If all the scenes of this woman were deleted, it would be almost equivalent to reshooting all the previous scenes, but the crew did not have such a budget. As for using the woman's scenes, Nanaya had never considered it. It was not because of the portrait rights mentioned in the other party's letter, but Nanaya felt that if the woman's face appeared in his movie, he would probably vomit it first.

Just as Nanaya was anxiously thinking about how to solve the problem of the heroine quitting the show, the cell phone in his trouser pocket rang.

Nanaya quickly took it out and saw that it said [Unknown Caller].

[Who? Calling at this time? ]

Thinking that it was a crew member who stayed on the set calling him, Nanaya quickly got up and ran to the street outside the restaurant to answer the phone. Because Nanaya didn't want the others present to hear any bad news that would dampen their morale.

However, what came from the receiver was a voice that Nanaya really, really, really didn't want to hear.

"Hey, redneck! How are you feeling now?"

The annoying droopy voice went straight into Nanaya's eardrums through the receiver.

"..." Nanaya held his cell phone tightly in trembling hands.

"I guess the situation over there must be very bad, so I called to ask. How is it going?"

"So you are the culprit?"

The problem just occurred this morning, and now this guy immediately called to gloat over it. If Nanaya says that this matter has nothing to do with this ultimate beast, he promises to eat his phone.

Thinking about it now, Nanaya felt that he was a bit naive. The other party was probably using those extras to make him let down his guard, and then gave him a fatal blow at the most critical moment.

You, the ape, are really good at making a feint to the east and attacking in the west!

However, what made Nanaya angry the most was that this guy's plan actually worked, and he was actually fooled by this ape. This made Nanaya want to slap himself twice.

"Oh, you are angry~ But don't blame me~ I can't help it, I have my own difficulties. Who told you, a country bumpkin, not to accept your status honestly? You actually want to turn things around through this kind of thing, so I have no choice but to let you die in the mud. This is the so-called face problem of the big shots~"

[A big shot, do you know the phrase "a monkey in a human form"? ]

Nanaya felt that this uneducated guy definitely didn't understand, so he decided to change the sentence.

"How did you convince Adachi?"

Hyakumekusa replied proudly: "It's very simple. I promised her the heroine of my next movie, and the woman agreed immediately. Obviously, she is a smart person and knows who to be loyal to."

"Would you be so kind?"

"That woman is quite pretty, and it doesn't look too bad to be paired with a popular idol like me."

This answer is not too different from what Nanaya thought. After all, judging from the immediate interests, one is a popular idol and the other is just an unknown little director. There is no need to hesitate when choosing who to choose.

But because of this, Nanaya had already sentenced Adachi, the stupid woman, to death. Not to mention the possibility that the bad-tempered Hyakumekusa might break the contract, even if Adachi really got the leading role in the movie, the fact that she used her own crew as a springboard would become a stain on her life. Even if the movie was successful, it would probably be difficult for her to get any roles in the future.

"Then what? Did you call me just to laugh at me? If that's the case, you have achieved your goal." Nanaya was originally planning to hang up the phone, but Hyakumekusa didn't intend to end it like that.

There was a sound of clearing throat from the other end of the phone, and then Hyakumekusa said something that left Nanaya dumbfounded.

"Hey, country bumpkin. Do you want to work for me?"

[Is this guy crazy? ]

Because what the other party said was so unexpected, Nanaya didn't know how to fight back for a moment.

"I still recognize your ability. As long as you serve me peacefully in the future, I can still give you a meal. Anyway, after this failure, you have offended [Lin Bao] and you can no longer become a director, right? Except for a magnanimous person like me, no one will hire you as a director. I believe that with your help, I can soon become a world-class superstar. By then, you will have a way out."

Nanaya couldn't tell the truth from the other party's joking tone, but he secretly swore in his heart that even if he worked as a part-time worker in a convenience store, he would not serve this guy for even a second.

"I'm sorry, but I refuse. If I see your face like this again I'm afraid I'll spit right in your face."

Nanaya refused very straightforwardly.

"Varied..."

Hyakumekusa, who was still talking incessantly, stopped.

Nanaya thought he would hear the other party's signature insults. But after a solemn silence, a long sigh came from the phone.

"So you are just a country bumpkin who doesn't know how to adapt. I really, really, really think highly of you. I also saw your hard work on the set, which is completely different from those muddleheaded guys. That's why I tried to win you over."

"No thanks. We were already enemies when you attacked my younger generation."

"Do you really think you can turn the tables by relying on your teacher? Forget it. He must be in a state of panic right now. After all, it's really hard for him to come up with 15 million yen in cash all at once. After all, although he is considered a first-line director, if his studio is bypassed, the funds that can be mobilized are not much."

"What do you mean by that?"

Nanaya narrowed his eyes. He had never heard of this before.

"Don't you know? The 15 million you used to make the movie was all paid for by your teacher alone~"

Hyakumekusa's words made Nanaya stand there as if he was struck by lightning.
