Chapter 1612: My sister’s troubles (can only hibernate under the quilt)

Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai were rescued two days later.

As the blizzard weakened, the search and rescue team also planned to take action. Due to the heavy snow in recent days, the mountain roads were closed and traces were covered up. Therefore, the search and rescue team believed that it would be difficult to find the victims, but they still sent helicopters to conduct patrols as much as possible.

Then I found the misty smoke, and then I looked for it and came to the forest hut.

When they opened the door, they found that the victim they were looking for was happily eating hot pot inside.

There was nothing to say next. The two took the search and rescue team's helicopter back to the hospital. After examination, they found that they were fine. Everyone, including the crew, breathed a sigh of relief. After learning about the two people's experiences in the past few days, everyone was amazed, and the director even decided to choose that cabin to shoot the next scene.

At the same time, the director also specially discussed with Duanmu Huai and Sakurajima Mai, and wanted to directly use the previous scene of Sakurajima Mai being chased by a bear. Although in the comics, Ryoko was distracted and had an accident, but in the director's opinion, this scene was even shot. No, it’s a waste of money if you don’t use it. He had already asked the original creator, Mr. Kichijoji. After learning about this and seeing the footage taken at that time, Mr. Kichijoji was also quite surprised, and he readily agreed to modify this part of the plot.

According to Mr. Kichijoji's original words, "I can't even think of such an explosive plot. Reality is indeed more exaggerated than comics."

Mai Sakurajima didn't have any objections, and Duanmu Huai didn't object either. After all, he still had to take back everything in the cabin.

That bearskin can be considered a trophy after all.

"You just spent three days here."

Entering the cabin, Arima Ganai looked at the environment here curiously, with a look of disbelief on his face.

"It feels very clean."

"Of course, because I have been cleaning these days."

Sakurajima Mai also smiled and said. After hearing her answer, Kurokawa Akane next to her looked at Sakurajima Mai thoughtfully - for some reason, she felt that Sakurajima Mai's tone just now seemed to be... It’s like introducing your newlywed wife to your home...

"That bear is actually so big. It was scary when I saw it."

Arima Kana didn't have any strange feeling like Kurokawa Akane. She curiously walked to the bed and touched the bear skin spread on it.

"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't believe she could kill the bear, but if it were Xiao Ai, it's really possible."

"Indeed."

This time Kurokawa Akane also nodded silently. Sakurajima Mai was surprised because she had never cooperated with Duanmu Huai before. But Magana and Akane Kurokawa have collaborated with Duanmuhuai on stage, and they know very well how much power there is in that seemingly thin body. Coupled with Duanmuhuai's explosive momentum during stage performances, to be honest, she can really Killing a bear or two was not surprising at all to the two of them.

There is even a feeling of "sure enough".

"By the way, bear meat is quite delicious, but when I think about when Xiao Ai walked in with bear meat and said, look what good things I brought you, I really want to laugh."

As Arima Ganai said, he also chuckled. In fact, at that time, Duanmu Huai didn't look like he was in trouble at all, but more like he was traveling far away and brought back local products for everyone. So much so that the crew was emotionally confused at the time. They originally wanted to come forward to offer condolences, but were confused by Duanmu Huai's unexpected behavior and didn't know what to do.

In the end, the consolation meeting turned into a bear meat hot pot conference... which is not that bad.

Next, in the cabin, the crew filmed the following scenes. The protagonist and Liangzi were killed and trapped in the cabin in the snowy mountains. Liangzi was attracted to the protagonist and secretly fell in love with her while getting along. This scene was shot very well, and Ryoko, played by Mai Sakurajima, perfectly displayed the restrained, implicit affection and expectation.

After all, this section was quite difficult to shoot, and the requirements for actors were very high. Mai Sakurajima was very good at controlling the situation. She not only made people feel the changes in Ryoko's feelings for the protagonist, but also took the initiative to hold back at the last step. It can be said that Mai Sakurajima's acting skills exploded, and she completely performed the protagonist's style in these two episodes.

"I didn't expect Mai's acting skills to be so good."

Staring at the camera, Kana Arima also had a serious look on her face. Mai Sakurajima's performance in these two episodes was so good, it was a lot of pressure for Kana Arima as the lead actor. If she can't perform as a heroine in the later stage, then she might be overturned by Sakurajima Mai and it will turn into a party struggle.

"It seems that I have to work hard. What do you think, Akane?"

"Hmm...I don't think she looks like the actress..."

"Um?"

"nothing."

Kurokawa Akane shook his head, then narrowed his eyes and looked at the shooting scene in front of him.

Maybe I am too worried.

After that, the filming went smoothly, and the second season of "Sweet Today" also started to be released during the New Year as scheduled.

The response is as good as ever. Although the popularity is not as high as the first season, the ratings are still very stable, basically the same as the first season. Of course, Duanmuhuai is not concerned about these trivial matters, but the situation of Mai Sakurajima.

After all, he was not sure whether this move would be successful, but fortunately, from Duanmu Huai's point of view, he must have made the right bet.

With the broadcast of the twelfth and thirteenth episodes, Sakurajima Mai's popularity instantly opened up again - this is not correct, it should be said that Sakurajima Mai's popularity has returned to its original state. The Internet is full of statements such as "As expected of Sakurajima Mai", "I cried just watching it", and "popular actors are really different". It seems that for this world, the days when Sakurajima Mai did not exist some time ago itself seem to be the same. It’s like it no longer exists.

But no matter what, it is a good thing that Sakurajima Mai is known again and has returned to her original position.

By the way, after filming the second season of "Today's Sweetness", Mai Sakurajima announced that she would move to Berry PRO. Obviously, the conflict between her and her mother has not been resolved. But... this is a private matter, and Duanmu Huai will not care about it.

For Berry PRO, it is a good thing that capable artists are willing to join.

But it's not good for Duanmuhuai.

The reason is very simple, that is, every time he comes to the office, one more person misses him.

"Good morning...ah, sister, you are lying here and being lazy again!"

This is Ruby.

"Good morning, Xiao Ai, it's almost time for you to do some work."

This is Arima Ganai.

"Good morning... Xiao Ai, after we finish shooting at noon today, do you want to go have dinner together?"

This is Kurokawa Akane.

"Good morning...you are still so lazy, it's better to work harder."

This is Mai Sakurajima.

"If I had known I would be pushed around every day, I wouldn't have come to the office."

Duanmu Huai rolled on the sofa and looked at the people around him speechlessly.

"The new year has just begun, why are you anxious?"

"That's why there's a new year and a new outlook. Now only your schedule is blank."

Youma Ganai knocked on the itinerary board, which was full of personal itineraries, except for Duanmu Huai, which was blank and had nothing on it.

"I also have my own things to do."

"What about?"

"The recent Maomao TV is pretty good."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, everyone else was speechless.

"Sister is always like this. She is lazy in class and lazy at work..."

"This is called a balance between work and rest. Isn't it fun to be like you all day long without touching the ground?"

Duanmuhuai snorted and curled his lips.

"I already worked over my quota last year, and I will definitely not do it this year!"

"Obviously I just filmed two movies and one stage play..."

"One! "Today's Sweetness" is a series, so it counts as one! Well, don't you still have a lot of work to do? I wish you a happy journey."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he waved his hands to everyone, as if he was going to stay lazy on the sofa forever.

"...Thanks to you for being like this, you actually won the award..."

"And she made such a speech on the podium. I was embarrassed to say that I knew her."

Mai Sakurajima and Kana Arima were also complaining. They were talking about the Best Actor Award awarded at the end of the year. Duanmu Huai won this award for her performance in "Tokyo BLADE". However, what others said on stage was that they would live up to expectations and keep up the good work. Only Duanmu Huai came on stage and said, "It's too tiring to perform thirty shows a month, and I don't want to do it anymore"...

If a newcomer said this, he would definitely be criticized to death, but if Duanmu Huai, who has been in the entertainment industry for ten years, said this, what else can everyone do? I can only laugh. Of course, complaints are complaints, and everyone still has to do their own thing. Only Ruby glanced at Duanmu Huai with some worry, as if she wanted to say something to him, but Duanmu Huai noticed Ruby's gaze and just waved He waved his hand, then picked up his phone and sent a text message.

[Go home and tell me something]

【OK】

Soon, Ruby also heard back.

Although Ruby didn't say she had anything to do with her, Duanmuhuai could guess it.

After all, it's not for nothing that he lazily watches TV at home every day.

Facts have proved that Duanmuhuai's guess was correct.

After Ruby returned home from a busy day, she immediately talked to Duanmu Huai about her troubles.

"I wonder...if I'm not suitable for the C position."

Ruby, who was sitting in front of Duanmuhuai, had completely lost her usual liveliness and cheerfulness, and looked lifeless.

"oh."

"Oh...sister, is this the only thing you feel about me?"

"certainly."

Duanmuhuai nodded.

"Do you think I don't know? Do you think I lie at home watching TV and checking my phone every day for nothing?"

"...Why does it sound a little bit hot..."

Although Ruby clenched her little fists and glared angrily at Duanmuhuai, Duanmuhuai knew very well why Ruby had such thoughts.

In fact, B Komachi has already encountered a bottleneck in its development.

In other words, this is the only way for every idol group.

Forming a group is different from flying solo. Forming a group requires distinctive characteristics. To put it bluntly, it is a different personality. Only in this way can it attract the interest of those die-hards. Just like there are older sisters, younger sisters, teachers, and OLs in GALGAME, only this setting can attract people who like different tastes.

If you want all the characters in a game to have the same personality, then no one will like it.

And in the current B Komachi, it goes without saying that MEM is a popular podcaster. His main focus is the idiot healing and funny image, while Toyohama Kazuka is the outspoken type. What can Ruby say... In a word, It's a classic idol image.

The advantage of classics is that they are easy to define.

The bad thing is that once someone before you elevates this image to a level that no one can match, then all those who come after you will just copy it and make people laugh.

This is Ruby's problem now.

"Just look at these messages and you will know."

As Duanmuhuai spoke, he opened his cell phone and checked out the messages.

"Isn't Ruby suitable for position C?"

"It feels like she's just parodying love."

"The acting is so fake..."

After reading a few words at random, Duanmu Huai turned to look at Ruby, whose face turned blue and white.

"I guess you've seen it a long time ago."

"They don't understand at all! I am my mother's daughter!"

"They don't need to understand either."

Duanmuhuai shook his head.

"Let me ask you, if B Komachi is still there, and now a new member joins, and he wants to imitate Hoshino Ai to take her position because he is young and beautiful, what would you think?"

"Haha? Are you kidding! Absolutely impossible!"

Hearing this, Ruby stood up.

"Mom is the most powerful and invincible idol, absolutely no one can take away her position!"

"You see, that's the problem."

Duanmuhuai looked at the panting Ruby and spread his hands.

"You have already given your reasons."

"I………"

At this moment, Ruby also stood there blankly, speechless.

"I warned you when you were about to restart B Komachi, Ruby."

Duanmuhuai stared at Ruby and spoke word by word.

"This is a double-edged sword. Indeed, B Komachi was once very popular and had many fans. Restarting B Komachi will attract more attention than other unknown groups - but at the same time, it will also be easier to compare."

"…………"

"Why are MEM and Toyohama Kazuka not criticized? Because their attributes do not exist in the original B Komachi. Those fans can easily accept them and just treat them as B Komachi adding new people. This is not that difficult. . But you are different, Ruby, you are a C position. You also frankly said in the interview that you are a fan of Hoshino Ai. In addition, your actions are all imitating Ai, so of course fans will also take it. You contrast it with love.”

"…………"

"You have to remember that this is an unwinnable war, because what you have to face is the love of Hoshino in the memories of fans - and memories cannot be defeated."

"Then...what should I do?"

Ruby sat down in her chair and clenched her fists.

"I have always wanted to be an idol like my mother, and I have been working hard, even if others say I am a fake...but...I really..."

"The core of the question is, do you want to be an idol like Hoshino Ai, or an idol like Hoshino Ai."

"...Sister, I'm in a bad mood right now, don't make such silly jokes."

"I'm not kidding."

Seeing Ruby lowering her head as if she was cursing a female ghost, Duanmu Huai raised his eyebrows.

"I mean, do you want to completely become Hoshino Ai? Or is your goal to become a radiant idol like Hoshino Ai?"

"I...I don't quite understand what you mean, sister..."

Ruby raised her head in confusion and looked at Duanmuhuai, seeming to be racking her brains to think, but unable to come to a conclusion.

Then he had to put the answer in front of her.

Duanmuhuai picked up his phone and read a few text messages.

"Okay, you can have Sunday off."

"Um………"

"Follow me to meet someone."

"who?"

Faced with Ruby's doubtful inquiry, Duanmuhuai did not answer directly.

"You'll know it when you see it."
