Chapter 1606: Mutation (Sweeping snow is really annoying)

Duanmu Huai has always believed that there is no problem in this world that cannot be solved by money and violence. If it cannot be solved, it must be because one of the parties is not strong enough.

Strictly speaking, Mai Sakurajima's photo shoot is another job and has nothing to do with "Jin Tian" - but it depends on how you put it.

Because "Today's Sweetness" will be filming a second season, and Sakurajima Mai naturally has to perform in it, and the contract has been signed. At this juncture, she is taking photos in swimsuits, and it is easy for her character to be considered OOC.

It's like a character in a pure love animation who has a humiliation version. If it's a fan, it can be done, but if it's official, it can't be washed away.

The supporting role played by Mai Sakurajima in "Kona Sweet" is a pure and proud girl. It is naturally impossible for her to take swimsuit photos for money. So using this reason to ask the other party to stop selling photos is not unreasonable... Well, actually it's not important.

The important thing is that as long as you have money and find a powerful lawyer, you can turn a black person into a white person, and a dead person can be said to be alive.

That's it.

As for the office of Mai Sakurajima's mother, Duanmuhuai also investigated it. It was just a relatively ordinary office, belonging to the middle level. It can't be compared to a big-name firm like Berry PRO. And the most famous star that has ever appeared in the agency is Sakurajima Mai...

In fact, from the perspective of the firm, there is nothing wrong with this. When it becomes popular, vigorously squeezing it and squeezing the other party's economic value as much as possible is the first priority of capitalism. That's why Duanmuhuai said that purely based on the situation, there was nothing wrong with what Sakurajima Mai's mother did. Most offices do the same for their artists.

The only problem is that as a mother, she sells her daughter too easily.

As for Duanmu Huai's reason for helping Sakurajima Mai, it's very simple. They know each other. They have filmed together, so they are familiar with each other. She looks pitiful, so she has an excuse to intervene, so she can help if she can.

It's that simple.

That's the benefit of power.

If Duanmu Huai was just an ordinary actor like Arima Kanai or Kurokawa Akane, then he would not be able to find a solution no matter how hard he tried. But now, as long as she sends a lawyer's letter, she can easily help Sakurajima Mai solve this problem that she absolutely cannot solve by herself.

Duanmuhuai doesn't even need to send it himself, he just needs to make a phone call.

Duanmu Huai originally thought that there would be no problem in this way, but it turned out that his idea was too simple.

One evening a week later, when Duanmuhuai came home, he saw a familiar figure sitting on the street.

"...What are you doing here?"

Looking at Mai Sakurajima, who was wearing a bunny girl costume and sitting curled up on the side of the street, Duanmu Huai looked confused. Hearing Duanmuhuai's voice, Sakurajima Mai raised her head. Only then did Duanmuhuai realize that Sakurajima Mai looked exhausted and was in a mess. Then she stood up, rushed over, and hugged Duanmu Huai tightly.

"That's great, you can still see me...that's great...!"

"???"

"Anyway, let's talk about it first."

Although he didn't know what was going on with Mai Sakurajima, Duanmuhuai took her home, asked her to wash up, and prepared a cup of coffee for her.

It wasn't until she sat down again that Sakurajima Mai seemed to have regained her original calm.

"Actually, the day after I separated from you, my mother came to tell me that the photo album could not be sold because the company sent a lawyer's letter."

"Oh, I know, that's what I said. After all, it may have an impact on the filming of the second season of "Sweet Today"."

"Then I really thank you."

Mai Sakurajima smiled bitterly.

"At that time, my mother also suspected that I was looking for someone, so the two of us had a big fight. She felt that the photo book would be a big seller, and I was still a child and ignorant... Of course I would not accept my mother's words, so The two of us had a fight and then... we started having a cold war."

Mai Sakurajima stretched out her hand, held the coffee cup, lowered her head and muttered to herself.

"Actually, this kind of thing happens often. In the past, after my mother and I quarreled, we would also get into trouble with each other. For a long time, we would ignore each other and treat each other as if the other party did not exist. I would not talk to my mother, and my mother would not talk to me. Talking. It was easy to talk about working before, but now that I have stopped moving, she has naturally focused on the office. These days, she leaves early and comes home late. Occasionally, we will only say nothing when we meet. Then………"

At this point, Mai Sakurajima's body began to tremble.

"I thought it was almost time to start working again, so I went to my mother to explain, but I found that my mother could no longer see me."

"…………"

"It wasn't just my mother, I called other people and they couldn't hear me. I thought at first it was something like that happening again, so I walked around hoping to find someone who could see it. My place. But I even ran to Saitama, and no one saw me along the way. To be honest, I wondered if I was dead and what was left here was my soul or something else... …”

"…………"

"I thought of you last, because no one else saw me before, only you saw me, so I came to you... No, maybe I came to you last on purpose. After all, if even you If you can’t see me…”

"That's why you turned into such a ghost."

Looking at Mai Sakurajima who was wearing a bunny girl outfit and looking miserable, Duanmu Huai couldn't help but shook her head.

"By the way, have you eaten?"

"Of course not. I can't buy anything to eat in this state."

"Just go to the supermarket and get it."

"Wouldn't that be a crime?"

“If you can’t see it, it doesn’t count.”

Duanmuhuai stood up as he spoke.

"Forget it, let me see what's in the refrigerator and get you some."

There were bread and sandwiches in the refrigerator. Duanmuhuai took these and a can of Coke.

"...The calories in this thing are not healthy for girls."

"Then will you eat?"

"Eat." For Mai Sakurajima, now is not the time to care about calories. After all, losing weight or losing your life is a choice she understands very well.

After eating, Duanmuhuai asked Mai Sakurajima to take a shower and change clothes. After all, she couldn't walk around in a bunny girl costume, not to mention that the clothes were already dirty and had to be thrown away.

While Sakurajima Mai was taking a shower, Duanmuhuai made a call.

"It's me."

"President, what can I do?"

"The second season of "Sweet Today" is about to start filming. How is the situation with the actors?"

"Ah, there is no problem. We have confirmed it...please wait a moment."

Soon, the sound of turning pages came from the other side.

"Yes, everyone has set aside enough time to film the second season, no problem."

"Where's the actor who plays Ryoko?"

The Ryoko mentioned by Duanmu Huai is the classmate played by Mai Sakurajima.

"The actor who plays Ryoko... ah, Mai Sakurajima? Sorry, President, I took a look and it seems that her schedule is not confirmed, but it's strange, I'm not very familiar with this actor..."

"Not very familiar?"

"Yes, um... it should be a newcomer... I will ask the office about the situation immediately."

"Well, that's up to you."

Duanmuhuai hung up the phone and thought for a moment - well, in the end, Duanmuhuai gave up thinking.

An invincible person does not need to think.

He had never seen such a troublesome thing before, it was really a strange situation.

After a while, Mai Sakurajima walked out of the bathroom. By this time, she had taken off her original bunny girl outfit and put on a set of sportswear.

"Are you watching Jintian?"

When she walked to the living room and saw the footage played on the TV, Sakurajima Mai was somewhat surprised.

"There's good news, and there's bad news."

Duanmuhuai stared at the screen and spoke without looking back.

"I choose to listen first..."

"The good news is that you have not been completely forgotten. At least your scenes are still there in the TV series, and the name Sakurajima Mai is also recorded. Your contract for the second season has not changed."

"...So what's the bad news?"

"The bad news is, no one knows who you are."

Duanmuhuai turned around and looked at Sakurajima Mai.

"They know the name Sakurajima Mai, but they don't know that she is a famous actress or a very famous child star. I also asked Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akane, and they didn't remember you at all. They just seemed to have a relationship with you. I had the impression that I had filmed a movie, but they couldn’t tell me the specific circumstances.”

"………………"

"In other words, your impression in other people's memories has been blurred to the point of even being ignored."

"…………"

"What do you think now? You can't go on like this forever."

"indeed."

Mai Sakurajima nodded.

"It would be okay if I just lost my fame, but if no one can see me, then there is no difference between me and death."

The problem now is that Mai Sakurajima's presence is gradually disappearing. Logically speaking, if she is willing to show her presence, then there should be no problem.

But she herself cannot be perceived by others at all. This is basically a negative cycle. If no one perceives her, they will pay less attention to her and forget about her.

Eventually social death.

"Buzz...buzz..."

Just then, Sakurajima Mai's cell phone rang. She opened it and took a look.

"News from the office notified me that the second season of "Today's Sweetness" has started filming, and informed me of the meeting time and location... I never expected that I would be perfunctory like this..."

Looking at the phone, Sakurajima Mai's expression was a little complicated. Generally, this kind of treatment is only given to unknown artists. The same is true for newcomers who have just entered the industry. Agents are assigned uniformly, and one person leads a team. Except for those who perform well and leave a deep impression, everyone else is left alone.

Only those with a reputation get one-on-one agent treatment.

And now Sakurajima Mai... seems to have deleted her account and started over.

"But I can't film well in this state."

No one can see her, and naturally no one can play with her.

This is really a troublesome matter...
