Chapter 159: Miss Yoshinaga Yukari Wants to Write a Novel

Miss Yoshinaga Yukari is very happy today.

Because she auditioned for the second female lead in the sequel to "Kara no Kyoukai" today, and there is a high probability that she will pass the audition.

Unlike many people who are unclear about the future direction of their lives when they are young and end up living in a muddle, Miss Yoshinaga Yukari has set her life goals since she was young.

Although Miss Yoshinaga Yukari has a living role model by her side - her superstar aunt Yoshinaga Sayuri, she does not regard her as her future goal.

Although Yoshinaga Yukari idolizes her aunt, she only sees being an actress as her job.

Her real dream in life was to write a masterpiece like "The Tale of Genji" like the great female writer Yukari Shikibu.

That was the goal Yoshinaga Yukari set when she was still a child, when she first read The Tale of Genji.

"I want to write a great love novel like The Tale of Genji."

This is what Miss Yoshinaga Yukari swore to herself, she even thought of a name for the novel.

It's called "The Tale of Minamoto".

It describes the embarrassing love stories between a modern man and various women.

However, Miss Yoshinaga Yukari soon discovered that writing a novel was not something that could be done simply by thinking about it.

It takes a lot of experience and life experience to write an outstanding work like "The Tale of Genji", but Ms. Yoshinaga Yukari does not have such experience, nor is she prepared to have such personal experience.

Ms. Yoshinaga Yukari, who keeps herself clean, said that she just wanted to write a story and didn't want to involve herself.

"Hugging and kissing with boys... that's too indecent."

When she thought about the man pressing on her, Yoshinaga Yukari instinctively wanted to avoid it.

It's not because I'm shy, but because I simply feel disgusted.

Since there is no way to find inspiration from myself, I can only look for it from other people.

But where can we find harem men like Genji in modern society?

After all, the concept of monogamy has long been deeply rooted in people's minds. Even if there are those who cheat, they are just doing it occasionally to satisfy their own desires.

This question had been bothering the young Yoshinaga Yukari for a long time, until one day, Yoshinaga Yukari saw a very shocking scene on her aunt's film set.

The director of the movie was kissing other female stars, and more than one.

If it were a normal child, he would be shy and scream at this time.

But Miss Yoshinaga Yukari, who had very good family education, watched the whole process calmly in the corner. After seeing that the director was able to deal with three women on his own, Miss Yoshinaga Yukari said that she finally knew where to get the material.

"The director is the modern-day Genji. He has the channels to meet all kinds of women, and the resources to enjoy all kinds of women. What I have to do is to record these things, and then use these materials to write a story that belongs only to me!"

At this moment, Miss Yoshinaga Yukari understood what kind of job she would do in the future.

With the help of her aunt, Yoshinaga Yukari quickly debuted as a child star. Although she did not play any big-name roles, she was able to hone her acting skills.

For Yoshinaga Yukari, being an actor is not her goal. Her real goal is to learn more about the unspeakable things between men and women in modern society through the channel of being an actor.

But if you always remain a child actor, you won't be able to access these secrets.

"So, I must become a famous actress so that I can learn more secrets. I must record the stories between the director and those female stars!"

However, Yoshinaga Yukari's career path was not as smooth as that of her aunt.

It may sound a bit hypocritical to say this, because compared to other extras who are still struggling to make ends meet, she, who can guest-star in a few roles from time to time, is obviously on another level.

But for Yoshinaga Yukari, this achievement is really not enough.

What she needs most now is to star in a hit movie and create an opportunity for herself.

Yoshinaga Yukari believed that with her own abilities and her aunt's connections, she would be able to soar to success if given the opportunity.

Miss Yukari is not one of those rebellious girls who always want to gain recognition solely by her own abilities.

Miss Yoshinaga Yukari, who realized at the age of five that there was no Santa Claus, was very realistic. She knew that her success was inseparable from the support of her family.

Yukari would not leave her aunt's resources unused, but how to use them was a problem.

My aunt is getting older and older, and the help she can give me is always limited.

In fact, my aunt's reputation is no longer as useful as it was before the millennium, otherwise she would not have been squeezed out by others when she tried to star in the movie of the new director Matsuno Shiki last time.

Miss Yukari saw clearly that her aunt's power would be best used when she began to become famous. Adding icing on the cake would maximize the use of the resources in her aunt's hands.

However, this would require Ms. Yoshinaga Yukari to take the most difficult first step herself.

She needs to find a project that can make her famous, which is a little difficult in the Japanese entertainment industry.

Because in the Japanese entertainment industry, many resources are pre-selected, and there are very few open auditions. Even if there are, they are only small roles in the corners.

If Miss Yoshinaga Yukari has an agency, she can still get some roles by relying on the agency's connections.

However, she didn't, because Yukari had some concerns about those various law firms.

Yoshinaga Yukari, who has been in the entertainment industry with her aunt since she was a child, is very clear about the true face of these agencies. Although their appearance seems extremely glamorous to outsiders, Yoshinaga Yukari is very clear about their dark nature.

Yoshinaga Yukari doesn't think highly of those small firms.

Because the resources are too limited, I might have to borrow my aunt's resources.

And those large firms, especially the four most famous ones, are not the best choice for Yoshinaga Yukari.

First of all, forget about J company. They only have male idols and they won't accept me with two bulging melons on my chest.

It's not that Miss Yukari is arrogant, she is very confident about her figure.

Compared to Ryougi Ori who became famous with "Kara no Kyoukai", Miss Yukari doesn't dare to say that she is better than her in appearance; but in terms of figure, Miss Yukari believes that two Ryougi Ori stacked together will not be as thick as her.

However, the Yanyin and Xingchen agencies had too close ties with the underworld, and even my aunt did not recommend me to join these two agencies.

It's not that they dare to do anything bad to Yoshinaga Sayuri's niece, but by then the extra work of entertaining various underworld bosses will become extremely heavy.

As for the last one among the Big Four, HORIPRO, they don't have any connection with the underworld, but as a price to pay, they take a hefty commission.

The commission is probably 10% to 20% more than other firms, which feels a bit like bleeding the bones.

You should know that this 10% does not mean 10% more than other firms, but that the commission rate is 10% higher.

If other agencies take 15% of the artist's income, HORIPRO will take 25%.

Of course, this firm is not without its merits. In addition to having no connection with the underworld, this firm is also quite nostalgic.

Even if you are an out-of-date artist, HORIPRO will still support you instead of directly terminating the contract and letting you go.

It is no wonder that HORIPRO has a nickname of nursing home in the industry, after all, it is well-deserved.

For those veteran artists, HORIPRO is a good place to go, but for young people like Yoshinaga Yukari, the commission taken by HORIPRO is a bit too high.

Although Ms. Yoshinaga Yukari is not particularly concerned about the profession of actor itself, considering her future life, HORIPRO can only be regarded as the last alternative in her mind.

Therefore, even now, Ms. Yoshinaga Yukari is still a free actor without a home.

This is probably the wealth of children from big actors' families. If they were ordinary supporting actors, they would not choose an agency and would definitely sign a contract first.

But Miss Yoshinaga Yukari is also very clear that this situation cannot last too long. After all, without an agency, it means without an agent, and many things will become very inconvenient.

Just when Yoshinaga Yukari was struggling over whether or not to just make do with HORIPRO, she learned something.

Japan's new national treasure director Nanaya Kiryu is holding an open audition for the role of an actor in the sequel to "Kara no Kyoukai".

Well, thanks to the huge sales of "Goblin Slayer", Nanaya can barely be considered a national treasure-level director.

Of course, this title is only temporary. If Nanaya's subsequent works cannot hold up, he will probably be relegated to the title of "young Japanese director" again.

When Yoshinaga Yukari heard the news, she was indeed moved.

You have to know that this is one of the most famous Japanese directors internationally.

And unlike those directors who make art films, Nanaya Kiryu is a successful commercial film director.

This means that his films will be guaranteed to have box office success.

And box office means a lot of popularity.

"I want to be in this movie!"

When Miss Yoshinaga Yukari stood in front of her family and said this to her parents and aunt with a serious face, they were all stunned.

Because of her family education, Yukari has always been a very reserved and steady person.

At best, she is aristocratic; at worst, she is dull.

Therefore, it was a very rare thing for the Yoshinaga family to see such obvious emotions on their children's faces.

"Yukari ah...are you sure?"

Sayuri Yoshinaga looked at her niece with some concern, "Geniuses all have quirks. I heard that director just rejected Matsushima Nanako. I guess even I can't say anything in front of him."

Because he has always been in a relatively stable circle, Nanaya was unaware that there were some strange rumors in the outside circle.

The most common thing said is that it is unkind and does not take others seriously.

These statements largely come from the conflict between him and Nanako Matsushima.

Although in the eyes of the two parties involved, this matter was not even a minor conflict at all, it was just that they had different ideas and could not cooperate.

After all, in the entertainment industry, if a conflict really becomes public, it will reach the point where the other party must be killed.

"No problem." Yukari replied with a smile, "Since the director doesn't even give Miss Matsushima face, it means that the other party values ​the acting skills of the candidates more, right? I believe that with my ability, I will definitely stand out."

"All right."

Sayuri Yoshinaga still loves her niece very much. After confirming that Yukari was serious, she used her connections to get a relatively detailed audition role information from Lin Bao.

Although this information is still too simple compared to the character script, it is much more detailed than the audition information directly released by Lin Bao.

Then, Yoshinaga Yukari carefully prepared for several days based on the information, and then went to the audition with full confidence.

As expected, from the satisfied expression on the young director's face, Yoshinaga Yukari knew that the probability of her being hired in this audition was over 80%.

However, what surprised Yukari was that the questions in her interview did not include anything about the expression or demeanor of a character being ruined.

Because the information given mentioned that [Asagami Fujino] had been abused by gangsters, Yukari thought that the perverted director would let her act out one of the scenes.

To this end, she struggled mentally for a long time (about 20 minutes) before practicing several afterglow expressions in front of the mirror.

In the end, none of them were used.

"I originally thought that the director, who made a work like Goblin Slayer and created a character like Asagami Fujino, would be a psychopath, but I didn't expect him to be so serious."

"I thought he would be the kind of director I was looking for, surrounded by beautiful women and kissing all kinds of girls."

"I didn't expect that the director who could write about a beauty dancing with goblins would actually be surprisingly innocent."

Yoshinaga Yukari herself felt a little regretful about the evaluation of director Kiryu Nanaya.

Originally, Yoshinaga Yukari thought that Director Kiryu, who had such a perverted mentality, would probably be a person who indulged in wine and women in real life.

But she didn't expect him to be so obedient. Although he admired her, he didn't show any desire. You know, Yoshinaga Yukari had already prepared a solution to put a bed in the audition room - she kicked him so hard that he would have no children.

Although the other party is definitely not a virgin, I always feel that he lacks aggressiveness.

In addition, the other party had no desire to occupy the beautiful actress (Ryougi Shiki) next to him, and all he had was the love of an elder for a younger person.

The other party is a herbivorous man with the intention of stealing but not the courage to do so. He will not take advantage of actresses and will only go to Ginza for fun.

This was Yoshinaga Yukari's first impression of the director Nanaya Kiryu as a man.

The other party is a good director, but not the director Yoshinaga Yukari is looking for.

But this man can still be used as a springboard.

"That man can make me a big star and get me one step closer to my dream director of having a harem!"

Although Yukari felt a little regretful about the difference in Nanaya's image, she was still very happy when she received the notice from the "Kara no Kyoukai" crew that she had passed the audition.

Yoshinaga Yukari's mother was also very happy: "Yukari, when you go to the studio, remember to bring a box of snacks I made. You are a child who is not easy to get close to. A gift will make them feel better about you."

So, according to the requirements in the notice, Yoshinaga Yukari came to the [Erque Studio] with a box of snacks prepared by her mother.

Originally, she hoped to use this box of snacks to build good relationships with the core members of the crew, especially the director Kiryu Nanaya.

Although Nanaya himself disappointed Yoshinaga Yukari, the yellow-haired guy next to Nanaya during the audition left a deep impression on Yoshinaga Yukari.

"That man must be the legendary directorMatsuno Shiki, right? He looks like a playboy, maybe he is the director I am looking for."

"If I can get along well with Nanaya Kiryu, I should be able to become an actor for that director Matsuno, right?"

Unfortunately, Yukari was told that Nanaya was not in the studio that day.

Although Yoshinaga Yukari's snacks received unanimous praise from others in the studio (especially the Little Brat Group), Miss Yoshinaga Yukari still felt very regretful.

"Can I ask you something?"

After signing the relevant agreements, Yukari asked the baby-faced man in front of her, "Where has Director Kiryu gone? I wanted to thank him."

Subaru Ikeda thought about it for a moment and felt that this matter was not a secret so he told the other party.

"Nothing, he just went to Tsuburaya to discuss outsourcing special effects."
