Chapter 1603: Meeting Gift (A Cup of Salty Milk Tea Every Night)

After that, the first performance of "Tokyo BLADE" came to an end amid warm applause.

When the White Walker was finally defeated, almost all the audience in the theater stood up and clapped and cheered wildly. Fortunately, there were only a few scenes left, otherwise, with the audience's passion and excitement, it would have been a problem whether the show could be completed smoothly.

After the curtain call, after returning backstage to change their costumes, the group of people were so tired... they almost collapsed on their chairs.

"It was so terrible that I almost couldn't get up!"

Arimaka sat down on the sofa, looking frightened.

"Me too... After all, Xiao Ai's sense of oppression is too strong..."

Kurokawa Akane beside him also looked exhausted and nodded. Although the others did not speak, they all had the same meaning. The final battle was not only a test of their acting skills, but also a test of their concentration to fight against the murderous aura coming from Duanmu Huai. In fact, most of their energy was focused on fighting against the murderous aura, and the performance itself was more based on their instinctive reactions from days of training.

"It felt like being hit by a waterfall. There were several times when I thought I couldn't hold on any longer."

Himekawa Daiki also sighed, and another actor next to him nodded.

"Yes, halfway through the performance, I felt like I was really fighting to survive. It seemed like if I gave up at that moment, I would really die... It was the first time I had this feeling."

"Although Xiao Ai's aura in the movie is scary, it's not the case when you actually meet her..."

Arima Kana was also staring at Duanmu Huai who was silently drinking water and browsing his phone, and couldn't help but sigh. On the big screen, Duanmu Huai's sense of oppression was already very strong, but when Arima Kana actually acted against Duanmu Huai, she found that the screen had weakened Duanmu Huai's sense of oppression to a considerable extent.

If Duanmu Huai's sense of oppression could appear on the big screen, it might really scare a few people with weak hearts to death.

"By the way, aren't you tired at all, little Ai'ai? I see you don't even seem to be sweating."

Hearing Magana's question, Duanmu Huai raised his head and glanced at her.

“This is just normal for me.”

"Eh? You're really not tired after performing such a powerful performance?"

"That, to me, is just a little more serious."

Duanmu Huai raised his hand and pinched his fingers.

“So it was totally effortless.”

"Then scream a little more..."

Looking at Duanmu Huai's gesture, Arimakana complained speechlessly, and at the same time sighed silently in his heart.

Sure enough, Xiao Ai is also a talented actor.

You Ma Ganai thought that he could never achieve that kind of aura no matter how hard he tried, and Duanmu Huai, who could easily display such a powerful sense of oppression, obviously possessed outstanding talents.

However...her shortcomings are also obvious, that is, Xiao Ai only likes to act in her comfort zone and never challenges herself.

Online, the biggest criticism of Xiao Ai, besides the fact that she hardly ever participates in any interactions, is that she has a “narrow acting range.”

For an actor, "narrow acting range" can be regarded as a very fatal evaluation. However, even so, Xiao Ai still goes her own way, never caring, never repenting, and even less caring.

What made Arima Kana speechless was that Duanmu Huai was not incapable of acting. From "Today's Sweetness", it can be seen that she played the male lead very well. Not only did the original author give high praise, but even the fans gave unanimous praise. At that time, Arima Kana also suggested that Duanmu Huai take the opportunity to expand her acting range and develop in more directions.

As a result, Duanmu Huai refused outright.

"No, too much work will make you tired."

Arima Kana was almost mad to death.

I tried so hard to take on more work for the sake of my career, but Duanmu Huai rejected it outright on the grounds that it was too much work and I would be exhausted!
It was as if something she treasured was thrown away like trash by others, which made Arima Kana very unhappy.

But Kana Arima couldn't do anything about Xiao Ai. After all, she had worked so hard in the beginning and wanted to develop into a triple-talented star, but ended up failing in all three directions. If it weren't for the hit drama "Sweet Today" which once again made Kana Arima's acting skills recognized, she would probably have been just a "former genius child star" in her life.

Although Duanmu Huai is extremely lazy and only acts in one movie every year, he has never failed. Although he is not a popular first-tier big-name star, he is also a stable second-tier top star. It can even be said that in the past ten years, first-tier big-name stars have come and gone, but Duanmu Huai has always maintained his status, identity and popularity, neither high nor low, neither up nor down.

From a certain perspective, he is a legendary figure.

After all, it is not difficult to become famous overnight in the entertainment industry. In fact, many times, due to social trends and the craze at the time, some artists who were not popular before can enjoy the treatment of superstars in a short period of time. It is even possible that in a certain year, as long as you turn on the TV, you can see the shadows of these artists, whether it is news, variety shows, TV series or movies, or even song albums and magazine covers.

It gives people the feeling that they have become extremely popular and seem to rule the world. However, as the saying goes, everything goes up and down. Artists like this may suddenly disappear completely in the next year and be forgotten by the world. In fact, there are always many such artists.

Those who can stand firm in the entertainment industry for more than ten years like an evergreen tree can be considered legends.

From this perspective, Arima Kana really didn't have the confidence to give Duanmu Huai advice. After all, she herself was a talented child star who fell into decline after her popularity faded, unlike Duanmu Huai who was steadily getting acting roles... Alas, if her mother hadn't been so anxious at the time and had accepted every offer, perhaps she wouldn't have been abandoned like this.

Thinking of this, Arima Kana also sighed silently in his heart.

Sometimes she wondered if she should learn from Duanmu Huai and not push herself too hard. But unfortunately, Arimagana couldn't do that. After all, she had finally regained her reputation, so she naturally wanted to take the opportunity to consolidate herself. So... looking at Duanmu Huai who looked like nothing had happened, Arimagana wanted to bite him.

Too bad, I can't beat him...

Arima Kanai suspected that Duanmu Huai could easily knock him down with one hand.

The Tokyo BLADE stage play has been performed for a month and has been very popular for a month. As the performance is hot, the artists who play the roles have naturally ushered in busy work.

Of course, Duanmu Huai is an exception.

Except for a few interviews during the performance due to contractual reasons, Duanmu Huai turned down all other notices. Everyone... well, they were used to it.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

I have to say that in the entertainment industry, being able to succeed like Duanmu Huai is also a level of achievement.

So much so that even Ruby couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"Sister, do you really think this is okay?"

Looking at Duanmu Huai lying on the sofa watching TV, Ruby couldn't help but speak.

"I feel fine, relaxed and comfortable. What's the problem?"

"Kana and Akane are both busy on the show. It would be fine if you didn't go, but you stayed at home and ate snacks while watching them on the show. That's really inhumane!"

Ruby felt that if Magana knew that Duanmu Huai spent every day lying on the sofa watching their variety shows to kill time, she would definitely go crazy on the spot.

"That's fine with me... After all, I have things to do."

Duanmu Huai took out his cell phone, glanced at it, and then put it away.

"Speaking of which, sister, you have been looking at your phone these days. What are you looking at?"

"A little thing... well, business-related."

As he spoke, Duanmu Huai changed the channel, and then he saw the news broadcast appear on the TV screen.

"… Regarding the recent scandal involving the black money of Liberal O Party members, it has been confirmed that several senators were involved. Today, the then Liberal O Party cabinet XX held a press conference, apologized publicly, and resigned from his position…"

"Humph."

Duanmu Huai sneered as he watched the old woman on TV staggering onto the stage, bowing and apologizing with a pale face, her whole body swallowed by the flashing lights.

Selling ditches is indeed profitable, but that doesn’t mean you will be rewarded for it, right?
In ordinary novels, this kind of guy would be exposed and then abandoned by his backers. But Duanmu Huai was too lazy to follow this boring routine. You only have backers, right? I will get rid of your backers first, and then I will get rid of you!

After investigation, Duanmu Huai learned that this middle-aged woman had misappropriated party funds and put them into her own treasury. She then gave part of it to Shenmu Guang, which was also the source of funds for the latter to open an office and company. Well, how should I put it, Duanmu Huai still admired Shenmu Guang.

After all, look at the woman on TV, her waist circumference is eight feet, her chest circumference is also eight feet, she is like a walking barrel, and Shenmu Guang could actually do that to her... Tsk, Duanmu Huai has to say, what a ruthless person.

If it were him, he would never do it even if he was beaten to death.

And according to the investigation, it seems that the old woman's tricks are quite advanced, almost at the level of steel wool.

From this we can see that not everyone can make money from this ditch.

Now that the old woman behind Shenmu Guang has fallen, the source of funds will naturally be investigated, and Shenmu Guang will definitely be found at that time. Although Duanmu Huai also knows that this will not end Shenmu Guang, but... just to deal with this trouble, I am afraid he will have to spend a lot of energy and time.

Well, this is a meeting gift, keep it.

Duanmu Huai stared at the apology press conference on the screen, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a cold smile.

The fun is yet to come.
