Chapter 1594 Stage Play (The Cat Who Rolls Around Every Day to Gain Weight)

The next few days were busy for Arimaka and Akane Kurokawa.

With the great success of "Today Sweet", they have also received many notices and are busy every day. Even Ruby, MEM and Fengbin Kazuka, after forming the idol group B Komachi, spend most of their time on training courses, and in addition, they broadcast live on the Internet to accumulate popularity.

It can be said that everyone is busy and fulfilled.

Except Duanmu Huai.

"Oh, it makes me so angry to see you like this!"

Back at the office, Arima Kana, who was tired as a dog, looked at Duanmu Huai lying on the sofa, leisurely padding the tablet, and she felt sick all over.

"Boss, is this okay?! Some people are just eating and waiting to die!"

"What does it matter? I have already done what I should do."

Duanmu Huai yawned and glanced at the furious Arima Kana.

"It was you who decided to be so busy, wasn't it? When you joined the firm, you were told to plan your schedule properly. If you are too full to handle it, you can refuse some work. After all, there is always work to be done, and your health is the most important thing."

"You are only fifteen, why do you talk like you are fifty?"

Arimakana put her hands on her hips and looked at Duanmu Huai speechlessly.

"Isn't that right? I've been doing this for more than ten years, and it's been fine, isn't it?"

"No, this is a completely bad example..."

Hearing Duanmu Huai's "shameless" answer, Arima Kana held her forehead speechlessly, and Kurokawa Akane beside her also smiled bitterly. Logically speaking, with the TV series now so popular, everyone should work harder and take advantage of this favorable wind to reach a higher level. As a result, Duanmu Huai, the protagonist, was completely out of control. Every day, he was seen either slacking off in class or slacking off in the office.

At best he would play the male lead in one or two joint commercials, but he is not as busy as Magana and Akane Kurokawa.

Of course, Duanmu Huai said that the reason these two are so busy is because they are competitors and neither of them wants to show weakness. So if Magana accepts a notice, then Kurokawa Akane will also take one. If you have a magazine interview, then I will go on a radio show.

But young people are like this. As long as it is healthy competition, Duanmu Huai will not worry too much. At least it is much healthier than pulling each other's legs and making trouble behind the scenes. But for Duanmu Huai, if he has this time, he still likes to slack off more.

"If that's the case, then there is a bigger plan coming up."

As she spoke, Saito Kyoko turned on her cell phone.

"Do you know Tokyo BLADE?"

"Yes, it's a popular comic, and the animated movie is also a big hit."

It was obvious that Arima Kana would not miss this information, and Kurokawa Akane also nodded.

"I heard it's very popular recently."

"The production team over there has invited us, hoping that the three of you can participate in the stage play of Tokyo BLADE."

"Ahaha, that's only natural."

Hearing this, Magana looked up triumphantly.

"After all, "Tian Tian" is the ceiling of comic adaptations. If you want to achieve that level of live-action, it will definitely not work without my acting skills!"

Although the statement of Magana is a bit narcissistic, it has to be admitted that it is indeed true. The TV series of "Today's Sweetness" is indeed regarded as the pinnacle of comic adaptations, and Magana, as the heroine, naturally made great contributions. As Duanmu Huai said before, "Today's Sweetness" is ultimately a female-led drama, and the male protagonist can only be regarded as the most important tool in it.

Therefore, Kana Arima has indeed made a great contribution to the current success of "Sweet Today", and it is not an exaggeration to say that her acting skills account for half of it.

only……………

"You're always like this, getting carried away by something. Wasn't it because of this that you became a washed-up child star? You really don't learn your lesson."

Kurokawa Akane complained viciously at the side, while Arima Kana turned her head away.

"Oh, that supporting character over there seems to be something, but I can't hear it at all......"

"By the way, the second season of "Sweet Today" will be aired during the New Year, right? Do we really have to rush to work like that?"

Duanmu Huai seemed very reluctant. The TV series "Today's Sweetness" was a huge success, so of course, the subsequent episodes should also be moved up. The plot of the first season was just that the heroine was finally willing to open her heart to the hero, and the subsequent second season was the famous plot that the hero was actually suffering from a terminal illness and died in the end.

Because the show will be broadcast during the New Year, the crew plans to shoot the second season during the holiday after the second semester, which is already autumn.

Duanmu Huai originally wanted to have a good rest this summer, but ended up having to deal with this damn stage play?
For Duanmu Huai, this kind of non-stop work is really too much to accept.

"This is a coveted job. Don't you want to act?"

"I really don't want to. For me, slacking off and staying healthy is more important... But the stage play..."

While muttering to himself, Duanmu Huai recalled the time when he and Lumiaire went to the future cyberpunk world together. At that time, Duanmu Huai also performed in a stage play with Kujikawa Risa. Thinking about it now, he still missed it.

"Forget it, let me take a look at the script. I have nothing to do anyway."

"call……………"

Hearing Duanmu Huai's answer, Kurokawa Akane, who had been paying attention to Duanmu Huai, breathed a sigh of relief. Although Kurokawa Akane did not speak, she, like Arima Kana, hoped to perform "Tokyo BLADE" with Duanmu Huai. After all, stage plays are Kurokawa Akane's professional direction. If he can cooperate with Duanmu Huai in the field he is good at, maybe... he can understand each other better?

It's just that Kurokawa Akane is introverted by nature, not as extroverted as Youmagana, so when Youmagana persuaded Duanmu Huai, all she could do was watch from the side. She looked like a little girl who wanted her father to take her to the amusement park but was too embarrassed to say so and could only watch.

"By the way, Xiao Ai, they really hope you can join them."

Saito Kyoko also spoke to Duanmu Huai at this time.

"Because Tokyo BLADE has a lot of fighting scenes, they hope you can be the action director."

"If you're willing to give me two salaries, then I have no problem with that."

Duanmu Huai didn't care about this. Anyway, when he was filming the movie, he was getting paid both as an action director and as an actor.

"Tokyo BLADE".

The classic fighting manga serialized in Weekly Shonen tells the story of the Shinjuku Group, where the protagonist is, fighting against other groups. This time, the part to be performed is the "Shibuya Fight" where the Shinjuku Group and the Shibuya Group fight each other... Well, it sounds grand, but in Duanmu Huai's opinion, it's just two underworld gangs fighting for territory.

But Japanese comics are all like this. Take Naruto for example. It seems that it is always talking about the world and the battle for hegemony, but if you count the number of people, it is at most the scale of a village-level fight.

It takes a lot of talent to write about just a few hundred people fighting for territory as if it were an epic story about hundreds of thousands of troops fighting to dominate the world.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Although in the final analysis it is just the gangs fighting for territory.

In Duanmu Huai's opinion, this was actually the Shinjuku group coming to the Shibuya group's territory, and then the two sides fought a fierce battle, and the Shinjuku group defeated the Shibuya group and seized the territory. It was that simple.

It's just that the gangsters wearing black suits, black sunglasses and holding guns were replaced by teenagers wearing ancient warrior costumes and holding swords.

As an action director, Duanmu Huai naturally had the power to intervene in the writing of the script, and at the first meeting, he quickly raised his questions.

"Why were all the scenes with Bai Gui deleted?"

The white ghost mentioned by Duanmu Huai is the boss behind the Shibuya Fight. In fact, the story of the entire Shibuya Fight is very simple. The Shinjuku group came to the Shibuya group with the purpose of friendly negotiation, but due to a series of misunderstandings and attacks, the two sides eventually turned against each other, and the battle between the two sides started with the injury of an important character.

Just when they were exhausted from fighting each other, White Ghost appeared. It turned out that all this was White Ghost's conspiracy. She deliberately provoked a fight between the two sides, and then tried to kill two birds with one stone and eliminate the Shinjuku Group and the Shibuya Group at the same time, so that her White Ghost Group could win.

The final scene is the old-fashioned one—after discovering the real enemy, the Shinjuku group and the Shibuya group put aside their past grudges and rushed up to fight the White Oni together, shouting about friendship and bonds. In the end, they defeated the White Oni and thwarted each other's ambitions and conspiracies.

In the comics, Bai Gui is a petite little girl with white hair and red eyes. This is also the main reason why Duanmu Huai asked about this. After all, after he first read the comics, he felt that this role was tailor-made for him. As a result, the BOSS role was completely deleted in the script. Now it has simply become a fight between two gangs for territory, right?
But what made Duanmu Huai even more curious was why Bai Gui was deleted? You know, this character is quite popular in the comics, ranked in the top three, so why was he deleted just like that?

"Oh, there's nothing we can do."

In response to Duanmu Huai's question, GOA teacher who was in charge of the script smiled bitterly.

"I also feel that the story after deleting the white ghost lacks foreshadowing, but we also have our own difficulties."

"The reason?"

"The White Ghost's weapons...are hard to create in a stage play."

"oh……………"

Duanmu Huai flipped through the comics and immediately understood what GOA teacher meant. The weapon of the White Ghost is a huge mace, which also matches the "ghost". After all, in Japanese culture, ghosts basically hold maces. Not only that, the White Ghost holds a huge and thick mace that is two meters long.

When the White Ghost first joined the battle, he threw a mace down from above and then sat on it.

In the comics, this scene looks naturally shocking. The petite loli holding a huge mace is full of courage.

But in reality...even if it is made of lightweight materials, ordinary people cannot wield such a long weapon!
Putting aside other things, what about getting rid of inertia?

Moreover, in order to reflect the contrast between the soft and cute little girl and the hard big iron block, you cannot use particularly light and soft materials. Otherwise, if you use plastic, that kind of thing will look fake when placed on the stage, which is like drawing a tiger but end up drawing a dog instead.

If it was a TV series, CG or post-rendering could be used, but this is not possible for a stage play that is watched live, so Mr. GOA finally decided to delete this character and then make major changes to the entire plot.

But for Duanmu Huai...

“I can play this role.”

"Hey?"

"I mean, just do this."

Duanmu Huai stretched out his hand and pointed at the little loli sitting on the mace in the comics.

"Just do it as you would with a normal weapon. I'll make sure you can swing it."

"Are you sure?"

I have to say that Teacher GOA was quite surprised to hear Duanmu Huai's answer.

"You know, even if it's made of wood or something, considering its size and weight, it's not something that ordinary people can swing at will."

"Just do it."

Duanmu Huai gave a decisive answer.

"As for whether it can be used, you will know when the time comes."
