Chapter 1585 What the hell? (Dental care is really expensive)
A little sweeter today—abbreviated as Jintian.

It is a girls' comic that tells the story of a traumatized heroine who is healed after meeting the hero and his good friend. Duanmu Huai remembers this very clearly because every day when he returned home for dinner, Ruby would enthusiastically tell him the story. Sometimes she spoke with excitement, sometimes with gritted teeth, and sometimes with tears.

It's like being possessed by an evil spirit. I guess this is how parents felt when they watched young people who were obsessed with idol dramas.

Something like "You are the wind and I am the sand, we are entangled to the end of the world"...

Duanmu Huai also watched it under Ruby's strong recommendation. What can I say... I can only say that the plot is indeed very touching, but Duanmu Huai did not feel as rich emotions as Ruby.

If I have to say it, it's amazing that one can live so long just by relying on bread and nutritional supplements... The human body is really amazing.

Ruby was so angry that she didn't talk to him for two days.

But Duanmu Huai felt that his question was normal...

No matter what, at least Duanmu Huai knew that this comic was still very popular among girls. Since it was adapted into a TV series, it should definitely be more popular.

However... after watching the shooting scene and sample footage of the first episode, Duanmu Huai made a phone call directly.

"Sakura, get over to my office."

After a while, the professional manager rushed into the office panting, but what greeted him was Duanmu Huai's roar.

"What the hell is this stupid thing!?"

Duanmu Huai slapped the heavy mahogany desk, causing it to crack.

"Are you sure this is Jin Tian's sample?!"

"This, this is indeed Jin Tian's sample film... The director gave it to me personally..."

"Then tell me, what the hell is this stupid thing!!"

Duanmu Huai slammed the desk again and pointed angrily at the screen next to him.

"As I remember, Jin Tian is a girls' comic, right? And aren't the heroine and her friends the first to appear in it? Her friends should be girls, right? But, why are there so many stupid handsome guys in it?!"

Duanmu Huai almost poked his finger into the screen.

"Isn't the heroine a horny girl who doesn't trust others? Why is she surrounded by so many handsome guys? What kind of face-obsessed bitch is this!"

"Well……………"

“And these lines!”

Duanmu Huai pressed the play button as he spoke, and then he saw the boy who played the male lead looking at the female lead and speaking.

"You, you have that expression all day long. Are you happy?" (Good reading)

"The drama club in junior high school can't be this bad!"

Duanmu Huai threw the remote control directly at the screen. There was a loud "bang" and the next moment the 64-inch large-screen color TV died on the spot.

"Our company invested in something like this? Although I'm not a fan of Jin Tian, ​​I also know that this thing will only be criticized after it is broadcast! Why did they hire these rubbish actors? What's the matter? Did our company not pay enough?!"

Faced with Duanmu Huai's fierce scolding, the manager was so scared that he trembled all over.

"I, I will contact the director and producer immediately!"

"Go figure out what's going on! If they don't want to make it, they can just get the hell out! Do you want me to listen to other people scolding this crappy movie every day in class!?"

"yes-----!"

The manager, as if he had been pardoned, went out like the wind, while Duanmu Huai sat down in the boss's chair, snorted unhappily, and then picked up the cast list at hand again.

"Speaking of which...how could Kana's performance be so bad?"

That’s right, the heroine of "Sweet Today" is none other than Kana Arima who hasn’t been seen for a long time. He originally wanted to see if Kana Arima had made any progress after not seeing her for a few years - but he was so mad at these idiot young actors that he wanted to hang them to death.

Although I only watched the beginning, Duanmu Huai felt that with Magana’s acting skills, it shouldn’t be that bad…

On the other hand, under the threat of Duanmu Huai's death, the manager, who had fully utilized his abilities, quickly found out the situation and made a report.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

"Yes, that's right... President..."

Looking at the girl with white hair and red eyes sitting behind the desk, who looked like she wanted to eat someone, the manager swallowed his saliva and spoke tremblingly.

"Because online TV is a new product, they are not sure whether it can get the expected response, so they just plan to test the waters..."

"Testing the waters with a popular comic? Damn, the licensing is free! Keep going!"

"Yes... because the 14 volumes of the comics have too much content and the production cycle is too long, so they decided to compress it into six episodes. Of course, they also know that compressing too much will cause the plot to collapse, so they plan to take advantage of the fact that Jin Tian's fans are all female and use a large number of models to play the roles. After all, for women, as long as there are enough handsome guys..."

"You don't need to care about the plot, right? Then what kind of TV series are you shooting? Why don't you open a gigolo parlor?"

Duanmu Huai slapped it again, and this time it finally broke the heavy mahogany desk into two pieces with a "crack".

"Our company is in the film and television business. We opened a gigolo parlor and told these idiots to turn right and go to the red-blooded street!"

This is the difference between actors and bosses. For actors, no matter how unreasonable the plot is, they have to bite the bullet and shoot it. But if investors are not satisfied, they can point at the director and scold him.

The latter must also swallow their anger.

From this we can see that money is the boss.

The manager stood there trembling, not daring to speak, but he also knew that Duanmu Huai's anger was not directed at him. The unlucky ones were the director and the producer... They were the ones who were really going to be doomed.

Sure enough, Duanmu Huai gave instructions soon.

"Return this stupid shit to me, tell them to shoot it according to the original work, and stop adding those messed-up characters. And those models - damn, what stupid shit are they! Is Jin Tian more famous or are these models more famous? I don't know where these idiotic young handsome guys came from! We actually have to pay them for the film? Even if they beg me for money, I won't let them act!"

“Yes, yes…”

"Open them all!"

"Hey? But... this... this requires a penalty..."

"Why? Can't our company afford this money?"

“That’s not the case…”

"Money can't buy me happiness! Watching these idiots running around on TV is more painful than losing money!"

"yes……………"

"Oh, and there's Magana."

Duanmu Huai took a breath. "Tell her that the heroine in Jin Tian is the protagonist, don't act like a keychain hanging on a schoolbag. Give her another chance, and if it doesn't work... change someone else."

"Yes, this...but..."

"What else?"

"Actually... the director also has his own difficulties. After all, high school students with good acting skills are rare, and it is very difficult to find someone like Magana..."

"Well……………"

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was speechless.

Indeed, if it were adults, there would be as many actors as you want, but it would be a waste to find a few child actors and teenagers in middle and high schools with good acting skills…

"Anyway, let him look for it! It's not like we don't have money!"

In the end, Duanmu Huai gave the order in a simple and rough manner. This is the good thing about being a boss. I only want the results and I don’t care about anything else.

Besides, if a problem can be solved with money, can it be called a problem?
As for why you still can’t find it, that’s the producer’s problem. Let’s change the producer!
For office workers, the most hated thing is that the boss just opens his mouth and the office workers run themselves ragged.

Duanmu Huai is the boss, so he doesn’t care about the thoughts of office workers, but office workers…

"Are you kidding me? Fire them all!?"

The producer clenched his fists and glared at the manager.

"You know, it took me a lot of effort to find them here!"

"But no one asked you to find this kind of show-off with no acting skills."

Although the producer's roar was scary, the manager was very calm. Just kidding, after experiencing Duanmu Huai's terrifying pressure, which was like a ferocious beast about to eat people, this level of yelling was just like that of a gentle kitten.

Besides...he didn't have a good impression of this kind of producer who did whatever he wanted.

"The company funded you to shoot the TV series "Today's Sweetness", not some idol promotional film. Don't you even understand this?"

"But they are all promising newcomers. If we can take this opportunity to build good relationships with them..."

"This is what the boss said: If you want to open a gigolo parlor, you can turn right to the red carpet street. Our company is not interested in this."

"you-----!"

"I've already said what I want to say. It's up to you to decide how to choose, Kaburagi Producer."

After saying this, the manager turned and left, and behind him, Kaburagi clenched his fists.

Is there actually such a thing?

Kazuki felt that he had done nothing wrong. "Today's Sweet" was indeed a popular manga, but it was precisely because of this that he hoped to use it to make the new model famous. In Kazuki's opinion, this was a very correct choice, relying on building a good relationship with the model to gain popularity, and as for word of mouth, he could just use some water army to do it... In fact, the reason why he did this was also based on his experience.

After all, for investors, popularity and connections are generally more important. Although "Today's Sweet" is a popular comic, it has been completed and has no subsequent development value. These new models are just starting out and have great potential in the future. It is impossible for a qualified investor not to understand these things.

Could it be that the investor is a fan of "Today's Sweetness"?

Anyway...then things get a bit tricky.

Thinking of what he had to do next, Producer Dimu felt a headache. Although in Duanmu Huai's eyes, they were just pretty boys with no acting skills but only good looks, they were indeed very popular in the modeling industry. Unfortunately, for Duanmu Huai, who was at the top of the entertainment industry and was both a player and a referee, he really didn't care about a few popular models.

But in order to invite these models to take time out for the shoot, producer Daimu spent a lot of effort. Just think about it, he invited them to perform with great confidence, but now he has to tell them that they will be kicked out of the crew because of their poor acting skills - hey, isn't this playing a joke?

But unfortunately, investment talent is God.

So soon, Duanmu Huai got the second casting list.

This time, the heroine is still Arimaka, and her two friends are played by Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai, both of whom are actresses, but the former is a stage actor and the latter is a TV actor. The ages are all here, and if you want to say whether they are suitable, they are definitely suitable.

"Well... they all look good, and their experience is no problem either. The rest depends on their performance... What about the male lead? Should we kick out those gigolos?"

"this…………"

However, the manager seemed a little embarrassed at this time.

"what happened?"

"In fact, the male lead has not yet been determined......"

"??? It shouldn't be hard to find an actor, right?"

"But because these two are currently famous stars, their agencies don't want to work with male actors who might have scandals. After all... isn't there an ambiguous scene between the two in the comics?"

"Oh, indeed."

Duanmu Huai flipped through the comics and remembered a part where the hero wanted to prepare a birthday present for the heroine, but didn't know what she liked, so he went to ask her friend A, and then the two of them went to the street to buy gifts together. They happened to be seen by the heroine, so she started to have her usual wild thoughts. Speaking of this kind of girls' comics, if the heroine doesn't have wild thoughts, there is no way to advance the plot.

"Then go look for it again. Any other questions?"

"Actually... that..."

"Ok?"

"Jintian's director said that he hopes to invite you to participate in this filming..."

"Let me play the stalker? That's fine with me, as long as I don't show my face."

Duanmu Huai remembered that this was the only villain in this comic.

"No, the director said that the male protagonist of Jin Tian is a sharp-tongued character who likes to mock others, and he will die in the end..."

"Because it's a terminal illness, it's all these inexplicable diseases that can't be cured, so what?"

"After communicating with the comic book author, he hoped to find a protagonist who was carefree, good at being sarcastic and mocking, and who looked very thin. After all, if he found a strong protagonist and insisted that he would die soon, no one would believe it."

"Yes, so what?"

"so……………"

As he spoke, the manager handed over the invitation.

"You're invited to play the leading male role..."

"…………………"

Duanmu Huai looked at the male protagonist in the comic, then looked at his own seemingly frail body, and then looked at the manager.

"Aha?"

Today I accompanied my grandma to see a dentist. She needed to have her braces and teeth remade. The tooth cost 100, the braces cost 3500, and the two cost 7000... It's really expensive...
