Chapter 1585 What the hell? (Dental treatment is really expensive)

Today is a little sweeter - called Jintian for short.

It is a girl's comic that tells the story of a traumatized heroine who is cured after meeting the hero and her best friend. Duanmu Huai remembers this very clearly because Ruby will be in high spirits every day when she goes home for dinner. I would tell myself something, sometimes with excitement, sometimes with gnashing of teeth, and sometimes with tears in my eyes.

It's like being possessed by an evil spirit. I guess that's how the young people felt when their parents watched idol dramas.

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

Duanmu Huai also watched it under Ruby's strong recommendation. How can I say... I can only say that the plot is indeed touching, but Duanmu Huai didn't have as many emotions as Ruby.

To put it bluntly - how can one live for such a long time just 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 thinks this question is normal...

In any case, at least Duanmu Huai knows that this comic is still very popular among girls. Since it is adapted into a TV series, it must be more popular.

However... after watching the filming scene and samples of the first episode, Duanmu Huai made a call directly.

"Sakura, come to the office."

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

"This-is-what-a-stupid-thing!?"

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

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

"This, this is indeed Jin Tian's sample film...it was given to me by the director himself..."

"Then tell me, what kind of stupid thing is this!"

Duanmuhuai slapped the desk again and pointed angrily at the screen next to him.

"I remember, Jintian is a shoujo manga, and the first characters to appear in it were the heroine and her friends, right? Her friends should be female! But, what's the matter with so many stupid handsome guys appearing in it? !”

Duanmuhuai almost poked his finger into the screen.

"Isn't the heroine a girl who doesn't trust others? What the **** is she surrounded by so many handsome guys? What kind of **** beauty-controlling **** is she!"

"Well………"

"And, these lines!"

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he pressed the play button, and then saw the boy playing the male protagonist looking at the female protagonist and speaking.

"Are you very happy with that expression on your face all day long?" (Bonus Reading)

"The drama club in junior high school is so bad, isn't it?"

Duanmu Huai directly threw the remote control at the screen. He only heard a "bang" sound, and the next moment the 64-inch large-screen color TV burped on the spot.

"Our company has invested in something like this? Although I am not a fan of Jintian, but I also know that if this thing is broadcast, it will only be scolded! Why do you want these garbage actors to come here? What? It's us Didn’t the company give enough money?”

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

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

"Go and find out what's going on! If they don't want to film it, they can just get out of here! Do you want me to listen to others scolding this bad movie in class every day!?"

"yes---!"

The manager walked out as if he had received an amnesty, while Duanmu Huai sat down on the boss's chair, snorted unhappily, and then picked up the cast list at hand again.

"By the way...how could Kana be so bad at acting?"

That's right, the heroine of "Today's Sweetness" was played by none other than Arima Ganai, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He originally wanted to see what progress Ma Ganai had made after not seeing each other for a few years - but he was killed by these idiots. They were so angry that they wanted to hang them directly.

Although I have only watched the beginning, Duanmuhuai feels that Magana’s acting skills should not be so bad...

On the other side, the manager, who was fully capable under Duanmu Huai's death threat, also quickly investigated the situation and made a report.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

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

He looked at the girl sitting behind the desk, with white hair and red eyes, as if she wanted to eat people. The manager swallowed and then spoke tremblingly.

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

"Trying the waters with popular comics? Damn it, licensing is free! Keep going!"

"Yes... because the 14 volumes of the comic contained too much content and the production cycle was too long, so they decided to compress it to six episodes. Of course, they also knew that compressing too much would lead to a collapse of the plot, so the fans who planned to take advantage of Jintian were all women In this regard, a large number of models are used to play roles. After all, for women, as long as there are enough handsome guys..."

"You just ride the horse and don't care about the plot, right? Then what kind of TV series are you filming? Go and open a Cowherd shop!"

Duanmu Huai slapped it again, and this time the thick mahogany desk finally broke into two halves with a "click".

"Our company is in the film and television industry. We open a Cowherd store and let these idiots turn right to Custom Street!"

This is the difference between actors and bosses. As an actor, no matter how unreasonable the plot is, you can only bite the bullet and shoot. If investors are dissatisfied, they can point at the director and scold him.

The latter must also swallow their anger.

It can be seen from this that the rich are 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, but the director and producer were the unlucky ones... They were the ones who were really going to die.

Sure enough, Duanmu Huai soon gave instructions.

"Return this stupid thing to me and tell them to shoot it according to the original work, exactly as it is, without adding those messy characters. And those models - damn, this is such a stupid thing! Jin Tiantian Are these models famous? I don’t know where these idiots came from! Why should we pay them for such idiots? I won’t even ask for money. Let them act!"

"Yes, yes..."

"Open them all!"

"Huh? But...this...this requires liquidated damages..."

"What? Our company can't afford the money?"

"This is not..."

"Money can't buy me happiness! Watching these idiots go around on TV makes me feel more uncomfortable than losing money!"

"yes………"

"By the way, there's also Maganai."

Duanmuhuai took a breath. "Tell her that the heroine in Jintian is the protagonist. Don't act like a keychain hanging on your schoolbag. Give her another chance. If it doesn't work, just... change her."

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

"What else?"

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

"Well………"

Hearing this, Duanmuhuai was speechless.

Indeed, if you are an adult, you can have as many actors as you want, but looking for a few good actors among child actors and teenage middle school and high school students...

"In short, let him find it! It's not like we don't have money!"

In the end, Duanmu Huai gave the order simply and rudely. That's what's great about being a boss. I only want results, and I can't control the rest.

Besides, if a problem can be solved with money, can it be called a problem?

If you still can't find it, then it's the producer's problem. Change the producer!

For social animals, what they hate the most is when the boss opens his mouth and the social animals run away and break their legs.

Duanmu Huai is the boss, so he doesn't care what the social animals think, but social animals...

"Are you kidding me! Get rid of them all!?"

The producer clenched his fists and glared at the manager.

"You know, I spent a lot of effort to find them!"

"But no one asked you to find such a showman with no acting skills."

Although the producer's roar was scary, the manager was very calm and joking. After experiencing Duanmu Huai's terrifying pressure like a beast trying to eat a person, this level of yelling was nothing more than a gentle kitten. That’s all.

Moreover... he doesn't have a good impression of this kind of self-righteous producer.

"What our company is funding for you to film is a TV series called "Today's Sweetness", not an idol promotional video. Don't you even understand this?"

"However, they are all newcomers with a promising future. As long as they can take this opportunity to build a good relationship..."

"This is the boss's exact words: If you want to open a Cowherd store, you can turn right to Custom Street. Our company is not interested in this."

"you---!"

"I've already spoken. It's your problem how to choose, Dysprosium Producer."

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

Is there such a thing?

Kabuto felt that he had done nothing wrong. "Jin Tian" was indeed a popular manga, but because of this, he hoped to use it to make the new model popular. In Kabuto's view, this is a very correct choice. He relies on building a good relationship with the model to gain popularity. As for things like word-of-mouth, he only needs to brush up the trolls... In fact, the reason why he does this is It is also judged from experience.

After all, for investors, popularity and connections are generally more important. Although "Jin Tian" is a popular comic, it has been completed and has little follow-up development value. And these new models have just started, and they still have great potential in the future - it is impossible for a qualified investor not to understand these.

Is that investor a fan of "Today's Sweetness"?

Anyway...then things get a headache.

Producer Dymu felt a huge headache when he thought of what he was going to do next. Although in Duanmu Huai's view, they were just pretty boys with no acting skills and only good looks, they were indeed quite popular in the modeling industry. It's a pity that for Duanmu Huai, who is at the top of the entertainment industry and is a player and referee, he really doesn't look down on a few popular models.

But in order to invite these models to take time to shoot, the producers of Dyswood spent a lot of effort. Think about it, they promised to invite them to come and perform, and now they have to tell them that they will be kicked out of the crew because of their poor acting skills - ugh, Isn't this a joke?

But unfortunately, investors are God.

So soon, Duanmuhuai got the second cast list.

This time, the heroine is still Arima Kana, and her two friends are played by Kurokawa Akane and Sakurajima Mai. Both are actresses, but the former is a stage actor and the latter is a TV drama actor. . Ages are all listed here. If they are suitable, they are definitely suitable.

"Well... the image is good, and the experience is okay. The rest depends on the performance... What about the male lead? Should he kick out all those cowherds?"

"this……"

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

"What's wrong?"

"Actually, the male lead has not yet been selected..."

"??? It's not hard to find actors, right?"

"But because these two are currently famous stars, their agency does not want to cooperate with an actor who may have a scandal. After all... isn't there an ambiguous scene between the two parties in the comics?"

"Oh, indeed."

Duanmuhuai flipped through the comics and remembered that there was a passage where the male protagonist was preparing a birthday gift for the female protagonist, but he didn’t know what she liked, so he went to ask her friend A, and then the two of them went out to buy gifts together, and the female protagonist happened to be Seeing it, the heroine started to have her usual random thoughts - speaking of this kind of shoujo manga, if the heroine doesn't have random thoughts, there is no way to advance the plot.

"Then let's go look for it again. Do you have any questions?"

"Actually...that..."

"Um?"

"The director of Jintian said that he hopes to invite you to participate in this shooting..."

"You want me to 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 the comic.

"No, the director said that Jin Tian's male protagonist is a character with a poisonous tongue who likes to mock others, and he will die in the end..."

"Because terminal diseases are all diseases that cannot be cured for no apparent reason, so what?"

"After communicating with the comic book author, he hoped to find a protagonist who has a big personality, is good at poisonous tongue and ridicule, and also looks very thin - after all, if he finds a strong protagonist, he will die soon. , and no one believes it.”

"That's right, so what?"

"so………"

As he spoke, the manager handed over the invitation.

"You are invited to play the leading role over there..."

"…………"

Duanmuhuai looked at the comic book hero, then at his frail-looking body, and then at the manager.

"Huh?"

I went with my grandma to see her dentist today. She needs braces and teeth to be remade. One tooth costs 100, one brace costs 3,500, and two braces cost 7,000... It’s really expensive...
