Chapter 1582 Rebirth: I am a big star? (This title seems to be good too)
I never thought that I could dig up treasure.

Staring at the camera in front of him, Director Gotanda was shaking with excitement.

The reason why I first noticed this little girl was because of her unique appearance and her calm appearance on the set. After all, most children on the set would be very noisy and annoying. But this child was very calm and didn't care about other people's eyes. It wasn't because she was slow-witted, but because she really didn't care.

It is precisely because of this that director Gotanda decided to let the other party play a small role in his next movie.

Because it is a low-cost horror film, all the favorable factors that are free of charge must be used. Apart from other things, in the eyes of Director Gotanda, the appearance of this little ghost alone is enough to enhance the horror atmosphere of the film. Therefore, as long as he doesn't cry or make a fuss, and shoots a few shots according to the plan, that's enough.

However, unexpectedly, the other party gave him a big surprise!

What kind of acting is this!
The look in his eyes, which did not regard others as human beings at all but as insects, made me tremble even when I was watching through the camera. It felt like a person standing in front of a wild beast. The atmosphere was really... great!

“…………………………How scary.”

Compared with Director Gotanda, Kana Arima looked at Duanmu Huai with even more surprise at this moment. When she first met him, she was only attracted by Duanmu Huai's unusual appearance and didn't think that he would have any acting skills, but now... Kana Arima doesn't think so at all.

This is no longer a question of acting or not!

The so-called acting skills are the way to express a character through expressions, eyes, and actions, but what Duanmu Huai did was not acting skills at all, but momentum!

It's like the difference between an actor playing a gangster boss and a real gangster boss!
The latter doesn't need to act! Because he is who he is!

Of course, Maganai didn’t know about this. She only knew that the other party’s acting skills were so natural that it was almost as if he was not acting!
Well, actually it wasn't an act.

After realizing this, Director Gotanda decisively began to modify the script!
Originally in the script, these two children were set as the masterminds behind the village. According to the plot, these two children were sacrificed by the village a long time ago, and then became evil spirits, and then tortured the people of this village. Later, the heroine came to this village, experienced many supernatural events, and was finally killed in despair. Well, this is also the routine of Japanese horror movies. Basically, it is difficult for the protagonist to escape like the protagonist in Hollywood, nor will he chop with a peach wood sword like the protagonist in Chinese zombie movies. Most Japanese horror movies focus on describing the desperate and powerless struggle of mortals in front of ghosts and monsters, and finally death.

According to the script, the two children's true identities were revealed in the end, and then they turned into scary ghosts, and then the heroine was killed.

This process requires the use of CG. After all, ordinary children simply cannot act out the terrifying and oppressive feeling of ghosts.

But after watching Duanmu Huai's performance, the director made a decisive decision to change this part!
Of course, this is not simply because of the feeling expressed by Duanmu Huai’s performance, but more because—CG costs money, but human acting does not cost money!
Low-cost movies have to bow to costs!
Since Duanmu Huai can act out the oppressive feeling of the final BOSS, wouldn't it be a waste of money to spend it?

As a result, almost all the parts that required CG were cut, and the shots of Duanmu Huai and Arima Kana were greatly increased. As a talented director, you should learn to spend money wisely, especially for such a low-cost movie, so you should save as much as possible.

As a low-budget movie, the filming did not take much time, and Duanmu Huai and his friends went to watch the premiere afterwards.

how to say……………

"Wow, sister, look, mom is so amazing! So amazing!"

very noisy.

Looking at his sister jumping and dancing excitedly beside him, Duanmu Huai was speechless, although he could understand this feeling...

"Hey, how's it going, kid? How did you feel after watching the movie you starred in?"

After the performance, Director Gotanda came to say hello to Duanmu Huai, and Duanmu Huai thought for a moment.

"I don't feel anything special, but if I have to say... Sister Ai doesn't seem to be very good at acting."

After all, their true relationship cannot be exposed, so they have always said to the outside world that they are senior and junior in the agency.

"Really?"

"That's right, because Sister Ai is a bit too prominent in this movie. I remember hearing someone say that first-rate actors should learn to act in accordance with their roles, but by the end of this movie, I couldn't even tell who the protagonist was."

Duanmu Huai also expressed his opinion very honestly. In his opinion, his cheap mother, Hoshino Ai, had an excessive desire for self-expression. It was the same in the previous TV series. Many shots were filmed, but in the end only an insignificant scene was shown on TV. His sister was furious about this, but Duanmu Huai thought it was normal.

After all, the protagonist of that TV series is not Hoshino Ai, but she shows no intention of restraining herself at all. If all the shots are included, it will be hard to tell who the protagonist is.

Just like this movie, he is obviously just a supporting role, but his limelight is bigger than the protagonist. If it weren't for the final BOSS Xiaogui played by Duanmu Huai who overshadowed Ai, the movie might have become a one-man show of Hoshino Ai, and it would be unclear whether this is a horror movie or not.

Is this what a supporting character should do?
"You're right."

Director Gotanda chuckled and leaned against the wall.

"Indeed, if it is a first-class director, this kind of situation will not be tolerated. After all, the director's goal is to shoot the story in his mind. If a character does not know how to stand firm in his position and simply shows his presence, he will be eliminated soon. But he is a first-class director after all... I am still far from it, and..."

As he spoke, Director Gotanda looked at Duanmu Huai.

“…You acted well, didn’t you? I think a lot of people will come to you after this movie comes out. Keep up the good work.”

"Actually, I don't really like showbiz..."

Duanmu Huai sighed silently. After all, he knew what the entertainment industry was like. But being a child star was fine. If he was older, he would have declined.

Having said that, this wouldn’t be directly changed into “Rebirth: I’m a Big Star”, right? Duanmu Huai has no intention of developing in this direction.

In terms of results, the film received a lot of praise. Director Gotanda won the Best Director award for this film, and Duanmu Huai and Arima Kana were also nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Although Hoshino Ai was not nominated for an award, her outstanding performance in the film also attracted a lot of attention.

After that, Hoshino Ai and Duanmu Huai both started to get busy.

Hoshino Ai's development direction is mainly entertainment programs, focusing on the idol route, while Duanmu Huai is more likely to make movies. After all, there are not many child stars in the film industry who can act well, and even fewer who can perform with momentum like Duanmu Huai. There are even some scripts that cannot be filmed because they can't find suitable child stars.

This is normal. After all, not everyone is reincarnated and traveled through time—oh, no, there are also people who have been reincarnated and traveled through time but their behavior seems to be more childish than their physical age.

Because of this, Duanmu Huai became famous in the film industry very quickly, and even starred in several movies. Of course, most of them were horror movies, which was considered a fixed acting path. Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. He didn't intend to make a living by acting for the rest of his life. The reason he made these movies was simply to make money and save up start-up capital.

After all, Duanmu Huai knew very well that the entertainment industry, to put it bluntly, still depends on money. As long as you have enough money, you are the grandfather. Without money, no matter how big the actor is, he is just a grandson.

Of course, this circle is also extremely small.

For example…………

"I'm... Arima Kana, please give me your guidance."

"Kana?"

Duanmu Huai was somewhat surprised when he saw the girl in front of him. He and Arima Kana hadn't seen each other for two years. This time they were on a movie set, with Duanmu Huai playing the leading role and Arima Kana playing... one of the children.

It's a supporting role among supporting roles.

To be honest, this did surprise Duanmu Huai. He still remembered that when he first met Arima Kana, she was still very arrogant, but now she looked humble and had completely lost her previous domineering attitude.

"long time no see, how are you?"

"Huh? What are you talking about?"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's question, Arima Kana immediately raised his head and put on a smug look.

"Of course I'm fine. Aren't we going to film together again? I'm just trying to figure out this role, this role."

"I see... You suddenly became so honest, I was really shocked."

"Hehehe, are you scared? It seems my acting skills have improved."

"That's right, but I still think you're cute when you're noisy."

Duanmu Huai didn't lie. After all, children are cute when they are lively. For example, when Bambi rode a jellyfish and rushed around in the courtroom all day long, no one felt annoyed. Instead, they felt that it added some vitality to the courtroom.

"Yes, is that so..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Arima Kana lowered her head a little embarrassedly. Just when Duanmu Huai was about to ask her about her recent situation, the staff called him to film, so he could only say hello to Arima Kana and turned away.

When Duanmu Huai finished filming, he went to look for Kana Arima, but found that she had also finished filming and left. After all, she was just a supporting role. Out of curiosity, Duanmu Huai also asked the staff about Kana Arima's recent situation.

"There's Magana? Ah, that talented child star. She's been having a hard time lately. I heard that her company recently planned to let her get involved in the singing industry. She released several albums, but they all flopped. And she hasn't received any good roles in a long time. How should I put it... This industry is like this. If you don't move forward, you will fall behind... Sorry, this is not a topic you should talk about with children."

That’s why I don’t like the entertainment industry. If you want to be an actor, just be an actor. Why do you want to be a celebrity when you have nothing to do? To make money, people will do anything.

By the way, Duanmu Huai is very determined. He only acts and never participates in variety shows. He only participates in interviews occasionally. Anyway, he has no requirements for fame, and the movies starring Duanmu Huai have good box office and reputation, which is enough.

Duanmu Huai was too lazy to care about other things.

But filming is also quite tiring.

Just work for a few more years and then retire.

Early that morning, Duanmu Huai finished filming and dragged his tired body and suitcase towards home. Now that his body has grown up, some directors have suggested to him to expand his acting career. Although it is good to continue to shoot horror movies, people are like this. They want to make more money in more ways. In the final analysis, just like Arima Kana, acting alone is not enough, and they want to make money by relying on fame.

Some directors also mentioned to Duanmu Huai the plan of making a youth idol romance film when they grow up, which left Duanmu Huai speechless.

He doesn't want to act in a romance movie with a man. Just thinking about it gives him goosebumps.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

But if he turns into a perverted killer, he would be happy to kill all those young men.

The handsome ones are dying.

“Huh… hm?”

Just as Duanmu Huai walked out of the elevator, he saw a man in a hoodie standing at the door of his home not far away, holding a bouquet of flowers in his hands.

Then who?

Just when Duanmu Huai was about to go over to ask, he saw the door open and then Xingye Ai walked out. The next moment, Duanmu Huai saw the hooded man take out a knife and stab Xingye Ai!
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai was also shocked. Then he grabbed the suitcase and threw it directly at the other party!

"boom!"

The small suitcase hit the hooded man directly, knocking him to the ground. At the same time, Hoshino Ai also fell down.

"Is it okay!"

At this moment Duanmu Huai also hurried forward, only to see a dagger stuck in Hoshino Ai's lower abdomen, and she collapsed to the ground, looking around blankly. When she saw Duanmu Huai, Hoshino Ai forced a smile.

"Ah, you're back..."

"Well, don't move for now. I'll call an ambulance..."

Duanmu Huai took a look at the injuries of Xingye Ai and breathed a sigh of relief. At least the knife was not pulled out and there was no heavy blood loss. Of course, first aid was needed as soon as possible. So he quickly took out his mobile phone to call the police and ambulance, then came to Xingye Ai's side and looked at the man who was knocked unconscious by his suitcase.

"Who is that guy?"

Could it be that he is the cheap father of this body?
"Ryosuke-kun... is my fan... I've met him many times at handshake events..."

Hoshino Ai looked at the man and spoke in a low voice.

"It seems that he felt that I had deceived him, so he came here for revenge..."

"………………………"

How can I say it? This day will come sooner or later? Hearing this, Duanmu Huai rolled his eyes silently.

He felt at the beginning that if he continued like this, he would be stabbed to death sooner or later... Of course, it's no use saying this now.

"I am... a hopeless person with no sense of responsibility. Even though I say I love everyone on stage, in fact, even if I am asked to love others, I don't know how to do it..."

Having said that, Xingye Ai looked at Duanmu Huai and smiled slightly.

"Actually, I think you and I are very similar."

"Yeah………?"

"Yes, what is love? I think... you may not have thought about it... Although you have always played the role of a sister very well, I can see it because I am the same as you..."

"…………………"

Listening to Xingye Ai's words, Duanmu Huai remained silent. Just as Xingye Ai said, Duanmu Huai had no idea about love.

"Have you ever thought about loving someone else?"

"……………No."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

“I’m not very good at this.”

"yes……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Xingye Ai smiled slightly.

"I saw Ruby's dance in kindergarten, it was really great. If all goes well, maybe one day, mother and daughter can perform on the same stage together... That's what I think..."

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai looked at Xingye Ai in silence.

"But you are more like me... It's really difficult to love someone. Even if I'm telling a lie, I'm singing a song about love with the hope of falling in love with someone. And I'm praying... that this lie will come true one day."

As she spoke, Hoshino Ai closed her eyes.

"It looks like today's dome performance will be cancelled. I'm so sorry everyone. And the filming schedule for the movie has already been tentatively decided... Please apologize to the director on my behalf..."

“Ding Dong…”

Just then, the elevator bell rang, followed by noisy footsteps coming from behind. Only then did Duanmu Huai stand up and sighed silently.

After that, Hoshino Ai was sent to the hospital and the man was arrested by the police. Fortunately, her sister was sleeping at the time and did not notice anything unusual. After she woke up, Duanmu Huai only told her sister that Hoshino Ai was injured and was receiving treatment in the hospital.

As for the result...

"My life was saved."

The doctor who walked out of the operating room looked serious and solemn. Hearing the doctor's words, the president, Duanmu Huai and Ruby all breathed a sigh of relief.

But it’s not over yet.

"However, due to the severity of her injuries, it is hard to say when she will wake up. Maybe she will wake up tomorrow, or maybe... she will never wake up in her lifetime."

“How could it be————!”

Hearing this, my sister turned pale, and the president's face also changed drastically.

"Really? Doctor? Isn't there a better way?"

"That's it for now. All we can do... is wait."
