Chapter 504 Outrageous Script
"Alright, let's catch up later." Shirakawa Natsu interrupted the two women. Kazama Rina and Kitagawa Iku were both considered beauties by ordinary people.
Rina Kazama is the pure and innocent campus belle of Tokyo University. Iku Kitagawa, though slightly chubby, has a charm that makes her easy to seduce.
With his experience, a little packaging would make it easy for him to debut and make money.
Kitagawa Yu bowed ninety degrees to Shirakawa Natsu: "I'm very sorry, Mr. Kitagawa. Thank you for your concern, but I'm really not suited for the entertainment industry. I'm here today to apologize to you."
She clenched her hands tightly as she spoke, looking tense.
"Why?" Shirakawa Natsu narrowed her eyes. She had already told her last night that she could provide medical care for her mother, so there was no reason to refuse.
“I…” Kitagawa Yu hesitated for a moment, then gave a bitter smile: “I can’t do anything right, and I’ll definitely disappoint you. I don’t want to cause you any trouble because of me.”
Shirakawa Natsu gazed at her face. If it were anyone else, these words might have been modesty. But from her expression, it was clear that she truly believed it: "Rina, you can go out first. I want to talk to Yu alone."
A flicker of hesitation crossed Kazama Rina's eyes. Would he really make a move on Yu? This silly woman looked like she was easy to get.
Seeing Shirakawa Natsu give him a urging look, he reluctantly nodded and left the office.
Only Yu and Shirakawa Natsu remained in the office.
She became even more nervous, as if she wanted to bury her head in her chest.
"Was it Murakami Ryo who told you that you can't do anything right?" Shirakawa Natsumi asked, crossing her legs and speaking in a relaxed tone.
"Huh?" Yu's expression froze when he heard Murakami Ryo's name.
“Don’t be nervous. I have high hopes for you, so I’ve done a simple investigation into you. With Rina around, these things aren’t secrets,” Shirakawa Natsu replied.
Starting yesterday, Murakami Ryo's health bar stopped rising at 60%.
It's like having your maximum health bar reduced.
Then, together with Kazama Rina and Hiroshima Keiko, the two women left Murakami Ryo's side.
He has figured out how to completely defeat Murakami Ryo.
“No.” Upon hearing Murakami Ryo’s name, Yu’s expression immediately became agitated as she defended him: “It’s me who can’t do anything right, but only Ryo doesn’t look down on me.”
“Okay, let’s continue talking about work.” Shirakawa Natsumi understood the situation.
Ryo Murakami has been using manipulative tactics on Yu, which is really typical of his style.
Using the guise of gentleness, he kept the girl under his control.
As expected, the blond guy identified by the system did have something.
He also knew that Yu was different from Kazama Rina and Hiroshima Keiko.
She had almost no life of her own, and as a prostitute, she was naturally looked down upon.
Ryo Murakami was her pillar of support.
Instead of encouraging her to get back on her feet, Murakami Ryo indulged in the pleasure of control, becoming obsessed with the fact that Yu's world revolved solely around him, thus adding a layer of mother-son relationship to their dynamic.
“You don’t need to refuse the job.” Shirakawa Natsu knew that rushing to free her from Murakami Ryo’s control would only backfire: “What I value in you is this useless quality.”
"Huh?" Yu's face showed a big question mark.
“It’s not that you lack talent, it’s just that your talent hasn’t been discovered.” Shirakawa Natsu narrowed her eyes: “Just stay true to yourself. There are too many shrewd and capable women in the world, but you are one of a kind. If you become like those other women, I won’t choose you.”
Three-tenths of what he said was to complete the task.
But even a silly, beautiful woman can be endearing if she plays her role well.
Shirakawa Natsu's gaze fell on her chest. With such a size, and a face that looked so easy to seduce into bed, any man would be tempted.
And she's genuinely stupid; she doesn't even need to act.
Yu didn't understand, but in a sense, this was the first time she had been recognized by someone.
Although it's acknowledged as stupid, I don't know if it even counts as being acknowledged.
"Don't worry about anything else. Go find Kazama Rina to sign the contract." Shirakawa Natsu gave her the decision directly, not giving this clueless mature woman a chance to think. She frowned slightly: "What are you still standing here for?"
"Huh? Oh, okay...okay." Yu's mind was still a mess. Seeing Shirakawa Natsu frown, she was startled and instinctively obeyed him, turning around and leaving the office.
"Sigh." Shirakawa Natsu shook her head. She thought to herself that this experience had shown her the diversity of human nature. No wonder she got scammed when she came out to work.
Turning her gaze away, Shirakawa Natsu fell into deep thought.
His decision to enter the entertainment industry was made after careful consideration, but success will not be easy.
Yuzuriha Yu, that femme fatale, looked at him with an expression that said he could do whatever he wanted, but if he didn't achieve anything, it would be difficult for him to obtain resources next time.
With so many women around him, Shirakawa Natsu needs to have his own power; otherwise, he feels insecure.
Starting with the entertainment industry is the most suitable path for him.
Once the first film is ruled out, all he needs to do is provide the idea and general outline, and then let the professional editors do it; he doesn't need to do anything himself.
Therefore, the first film must be novel, have strong appeal, low barrier to entry, preferably be clichéd, have a simple enough plot, and have extremely low requirements for actors.
It also allows for the maximum utilization of available resources.
We also need to make the most of the role of Kitagawa Iku.
After careful consideration, Shirakawa Natsumi took out her notebook and typed:
"Ashi's college entrance exam results were not ideal..."
outside the office.
Kitagawa Yu walked out in a daze, and when she saw Kazama Rina standing outside, her mind was still blank.
Rina Kazama was also sizing her up. Her first glance fell on Rina's high heels, and when she saw that nothing strange was sticking out of the edges, she breathed a sigh of relief and handed her a stack of documents she had prepared: "This is the contract."
"Huh?" Kitagawa Ikuto was stunned, but when he saw the contract that had already been handed to him, he was at a loss.
“Here, sign here.” Rina Kazama handed her a pen.
"Ah, oh." Kitagawa Yu, still a little confused, signed his name where she pointed.
After signing the agreement, Kazama Rina arranged a dormitory for Shirakawa Natsu at the company, as requested by her. The purpose of this was, of course, to prevent her from continuing to have contact with Murakami Ryo.
Shirakawa Natsu, meanwhile, took the completed script to the Inagawa-kai and found Hanahi.
"I'm planning to make a movie and I need to borrow some manpower from you." Shirakawa Natsu handed her the printed script.
Hua Fei, dressed in a kimono, was dignified and elegant. She narrowed one eye, picked up the script with interest, and casually flipped through a few pages. Her elegant expression gradually crumbled, and she threw the script back at him with a look of both laughter and tears: "What is all this stuff?!"
"Is there a problem? We need your help with this movie, 'Yakuza Boy,' which is set against the backdrop of the underworld. It will save us a lot of money," Shirakawa Natsu said with a smile. "And everyone is playing themselves."
"Nonsense." Inagawa Hana waved her hand to interrupt him: "Aku, a high school student who failed his college entrance exams, rents a room and meets a beautiful landlady. After a strange relationship develops, the landlady is gang-raped by yakuza, so the high school student joins a rival yakuza group to seek revenge. First of all, we yakuza avoid ordinary people. And if you encounter something like this, you should call the police! And the rest of the plot is even more outrageous!"
Chapter 505 Yellow Hair Collapse
"And what's with this landlady?" Inagawa Hana pointed to the script: "She had a relationship with the boy Oguri, and was then rescued by a passing yakuza. After that, she went to work at a casino, where the manager tricked her into bed, and Oguri went and smashed up the casino. She went to work for a job, but was attacked by the boss, and Oguri killed the boss. Then she was seduced by the boss, and Oguri killed the boss. The plot is driven entirely by the landlady, right? And how could there be such a stupid woman!"
“Actually, reality doesn’t need logic at all.” Shirakawa Natsu spread his hands: “If you try to analyze the plot of this movie, you’ll lose. It’s all about being vulgar and mindless, with a handsome male lead, an alluring female lead, cool action, and big scenes.”
He knows his own limitations very well; if he were to actually try to film a story with profound meaning, he would definitely end up making a poor imitation.
He simply embraced a completely vulgar lifestyle.
"By the way, how do you in the underworld resolve disputes?" Shirakawa Natsu asked. "I'd like to know."
"If they're accomplices, call the police." Inagawa Hanahi shrugged. "Or sue them."
"..." Baichuan Xia pursed her lips.
“Of course, there are some gray areas when dealing with ordinary people.” Inagawa Hanahi picked up her tea and took a sip: “For example, putting up banners at his company. Anyway, try not to use force if you can avoid it, otherwise it will be very troublesome. So your script is not about the underworld at all, it's about delinquents fighting.”
"It doesn't matter." Shirakawa Natsu shrugged. "Our audience is mainly teenagers and students anyway. I'll lend you your person, and of course, I'll pay you for it."
"You're planning to play the lead role?" Inagawa Hanahi raised an eyebrow.
“No, there’s a more suitable candidate.” Shirakawa Natsu smiled. Handsome and with a background in action, he already had a suitable candidate in mind.
"I'll arrange the extras you need." Inagawa Hanahi lost interest when she heard that he wasn't playing the lead role.
She refused to let real gangsters make a movie that wasn't gangster-like at all, since the script was too low-class, but she was only the nominal chairman.
Yuzuriha was willing to go along with Shirakawa Natsu's antics, so what else could she say?
Shirakawa Natsu easily borrowed over a hundred real yakuza members from the Inagawa-kai, leaving him with a large sum of money.
the other side.
Accompanied by Rina Kazama, Kitagawa Iku went home to pack her personal belongings. One clause in the signed contract stipulated that Kitagawa Iku must live with the film crew during the filming of the movie.
This is actually very irregular. It doesn't look like they're recruiting actors at all, but rather like a director looking for a call girl who's available on call.
Only Kitagawa Iku would be so confused as to sign such an outrageous treaty.
After the two finished packing their luggage, Rina Kazama came out first and stood by the roadside to flag down a car.
A male voice suddenly came from behind.
"Rina?!" Murakami Ryo stood at the door, his face full of surprise. Seeing his ex-girlfriend at his doorstep, the whole story flashed through his mind.
Rina Kazama was played and abandoned by that playboy, and now she comes to find him, but she doesn't dare to knock on the door.
"Ugh." Kazama Rina covered her forehead; the most troublesome thing had happened.
She now hates Murakami Ryo; that relationship has become a dark chapter in her life.
That's how love is; when you don't like someone, even breathing feels wrong.
Ryo Murakami was still organizing his thoughts.
Kitagawa Yu, carrying large bags and small packages, walked out unsteadily. When he saw Liang, his eyes lit up: "Liang!"
"Yu-nee? Where are you going?" Murakami Ryo saw her carrying luggage and then looked at Kazama Rina.
"I have a new job!" Kitagawa Iku said, his face beaming with barely suppressed excitement. Although he was being recognized as an idiot, it was a first for him.
She longed to share her joy with Liang.
"A new job? What kind of job?" Murakami Ryo's face showed a wary expression upon hearing this.
If Kazama Rina hadn't come back to him, she would still be with that rich young man.
Keiko Hiroshima has stopped responding to him, and he only discovered he'd been blocked when he tried to call her these past two days.
These factors combined gave him a bad feeling.
"Make...make a movie..." Kitagawa Yu's tone was uncertain. Even now, she still couldn't believe it, and she also felt that she wasn't cut out for making movies.
"Making a movie?!" Murakami Ryo looked at Kazama Rina in disbelief.
“That’s right.” Kazama Rina crossed her arms, her voice cold: “Director Kitagawa plans to establish his own film company and has already signed Kitagawa Iku as the female lead. Is there a problem?”
"You!!!" Murakami Ryo's forehead veins bulged: "Rina! You're insane! Don't you know what that man is trying to do? He doesn't care about Yu-nee at all; he's just looking for an excuse to get back at me! You've changed. You used to be so kind, but now you've become his accomplice, aiding and abetting his evil deeds, pushing Yu-nee into a fire pit! Don't you know whether Yu-nee can make movies or not?!"
The anger in his eyes could turn into a tangible flame.
Shirakawa Natsu kidnapped Kazama Rina, stole Hiroshima Keiko, and now she's going after Kitagawa Iku.
Murakami Ryo looked at Kitagawa Iku: "Iku-nee, come with me. That guy is lying to you. You'll believe me, right?"
“Hmm.” Kitagawa Iku nodded: “I trust Ryo, but… but he said there’s a role that’s perfect for me…”
Without a doubt, she unconditionally trusted Murakami Ryo.
But she also longed for recognition, and Shirakawa Natsu was the first person to recognize her. Rather than continuing to work in the sex industry every night, she longed to see the sunlight.
I used to accept reality because I had no other choice.
"He's lying to you! Sister Yu!" Murakami Ryo was really anxious when he saw her like this: "You have absolutely no acting talent, how could anyone possibly be recognized!"
He had barely uttered the words when he realized he'd rushed things and quickly added, "I meant acting requires professional training, Sister Yu, you..."
“It’s alright, Ryo, I know.” Kitagawa Yu hesitated briefly, then seemed to let out a sigh of relief and bowed to Kazama Rina: “I’m sorry, I don’t think I’m suited for acting in movies.”
Murakami Ryo smiled. Kitagawa Iku wouldn't betray him, and that man couldn't either.
Kazama Rina's eyes were cold; she had never hated anyone so much.
She watched as Murakami Ryo rejected Kitagawa Iku, belittling her to nothing, and then put on an act as if only he could accept her terrible self.
“Ms. Yu, I need to remind you,” Kazama Rina said coldly, “Your penalty for breach of contract is 300 million yen. You don’t want to have to sell your only home to pay that amount, do you?”
The innocent school beauty begins to turn dark; she despises Murakami Ryo, and she has come to terms with it, even though Shirakawa Natsu really has feelings for Kitagawa Iku.
