Chapter 1615: Urban Strange Stories (The free cat hasn't appeared for a few days)

“You are really amazing.”

The next day, when Duanmu Huai saw MEM, he also gave her a thumbs up.

"Oh, it's okay... ahahaha, I was just taking a gamble."

MEM scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"But now everything seems to be going well, which really makes me feel relieved."

"If someone like you continues to stay in the entertainment industry, you will become a senior like Taishan sooner or later. Keep working hard."

"Wait, even if my age is unknown now, this joke is too bad."

Facing MEM's complaints, Duanmu Huai just laughed.

"I'll leave Ruby and the others in your care. If you encounter any problems that you can't solve, you can come to me and the firm."

"Is it really possible?"

"Of course, to be honest, I can't handle interpersonal relationships and variety show sense as smoothly as you, but there are some things that you can't do alone. If you need my help, just ask."

"Don't worry, I won't be polite when that time comes."

Although he couldn't understand what Duanmu Huai said, MEM still reached out his hand with a smile and patted Duanmu Huai on the shoulder.

At this moment, the door of the office opened with a bang, and then Magana, Kurokawa Akane and Ruby walked in. In addition, Ms. Kyoko was also pushing a flatbed cart with a large cardboard box on it.

"Well……………"

When Duanmu Huai saw the cardboard box, his expression changed slightly, but President Jingzi ignored him and pushed the cardboard box directly in front of him.

"Here, this is for you, this year's portion."

"No way, there are so many this year......"

Duanmu Huai wailed and collapsed on the sofa. Arima Kanai looked at the cardboard box curiously and asked.

"What is this? A fan letter?"

"It's not that cute. This guy doesn't have much interest in fans. He just stuffed the fan letters he received before somewhere at random."

President Jingzi pointed at Duanmu Huai speechlessly.

"This is an invitation for Xiao Ai to perform this year."

"so much!?"

Upon hearing this, Magana, Kurokawa Akane and others were all surprised.

"Because this guy is very lazy and only shoots one movie a year. So everyone is trying to be the first to book Xiao Ai's schedule at the beginning of the year. Otherwise, if they only shoot one movie, they will have to wait until next year to finish it."

Jingzi looked at Duanmu Huai in dumbfoundedness and complained helplessly that she was speechless that there was such a lazy guy in her own office.

"There weren't many invitations before, but last year, Xiao Ai played the male lead in "Today's Sweetness". Everyone recognized his acting style in this area, so there were more invitations. After all, as long as they film with Xiao Ai, some pure actresses will be easy to invite, right?"

"Ah, that's true."

Ruby nodded.

"After all, if I let my sister... Xiao Ai play the male lead, I don't have to worry about any scandals with the female party. It doesn't matter if it's a little more explicit."

"Yes, that's right. Besides, Xiao Ai also won the Best Actor Award at the end of the year. Coupled with that extremely lazy acceptance speech, everyone knew that this guy still had no intention of working hard, so..."

"How should I put it... I feel so complicated..."

Staring at those invitations, Maganai muttered in a low voice, her tone revealing envy and jealousy. You know, she was running around to take notices everywhere, just to get more roles, but even if Maganai was exhausted, she was only invited to second-rate movies and TV shows, and she was only playing supporting roles.

He is nothing like Duanmu Huai, who spends all day lying on the sofa in the office, slacking off, browsing his phone and watching TV. However, he keeps getting invitations, and they are often the protagonists or first-line roles...

It's really annoying to compare people to each other!

"Hey... bring these over here and let me take a look. Aunt Kyoko should have sorted them out anyway."

“Of course, these are all first-tier invitations, as well as morning slots.”

"Woooooooo!"

Arima Kana over there was about to cry. These were the opportunities she wanted so desperately, but she didn't have a single one. On the contrary, Duanmu Huai had so many that she couldn't finish choosing.

What does it mean that there are people freezing to death on the road while the rich are feasting and drinking.

That's it.

By the way, another very important point is that these scripts are actually from film companies under Duanmu Huai, or TV stations and other institutions that he controls. It is precisely because of this relationship that these scripts are sent to Duanmu Huai. If there is no such relationship, Duanmu Huai will not even look at them.

After all, making money for yourself is called making money, making money for others is another matter.

"Actually, I would say you should take fewer roles."

Duanmu Huai glanced at Arima Kana and seemed to guess what she was going to say.

"Because you take on so many roles, many directors will have concerns."

"is it?"

"Yes, you know that the directors in charge of the front line are all famous people, and they are the kind of people who strive for perfection in their works. If you take on so many dramas a year, it will really make them doubt whether you have enough time and energy to play the roles they want. From this point of view, it is much easier for me. I only need to think about one role a year, so if those people think of a role to play, they will definitely look for me first."

"is that so!?"

Hearing this, Arima Kana screamed in despair, and Duanmu Huai nodded. Last year, he also used his subordinate film companies to find resources and connections for Arima Kana, but many of them had doubts about her. The reason was that those directors were worried whether Arima Kana had enough energy to film according to their requirements.

Not to mention them, even Duanmu Huai, seeing Magana's schedule, felt that it would not be surprising if she died of overwork on the set at any time.

"You're not a newcomer anymore, you don't need to run around everywhere. Even if you need work, you can't just take it all on."

Only Duanmu Huai could say these things. After all, although this was something that Kana Arima's agent had to deal with, if the artist worked hard, the agent certainly wouldn't pour cold water on her. If the agent rejected Kana Arima's notice according to his own ideas, Kana Arima would definitely have a quarrel with the agent.

Other artists would not say such things to Arima Kana, otherwise they would be suspected of stealing her job.

However, Duanmu Huai does not have this worry. After all, he only shoots one drama a year. If Arima Kana has less work, it does not mean that Duanmu Huai has more work. In addition, Duanmu Huai's own gold content is here, Arima Kana will still listen carefully to what he says.

"Oh... I didn't expect that. Maybe I should think about this problem carefully..." Arima Kana crossed her arms, frowned, and went to the side to think hard. Kurokawa Akane, who passed by her, came over and sat next to Duanmu Huai, looking at him curiously.

"So what kind of invitation do you plan to accept, Xiao Ai?"

"Let me think... it would be best if the role is relatively easy, can go to scenic spots, has few lines, has a longer shooting time, and can make more money... "

“………………Ahhhh stop talking, I don’t want to hear it!”

You can hear the howling of a defeated dog in the distance, but just pretend you didn't hear it.

After all, it is good enough for most actors to perform well. It is rare to find someone like Duanmu Huai who is qualified to be picky.

Of course, this is also because he is the investor of the film. In the Japanese film industry, the biggest sponsor is the richest man in the world.

In fact, many of the jobs that Magana and Kurokawa Akane have taken on now are related to this kind of relationship—the investment in movies, TV series, and variety shows comes from Duanmu Huai’s company, and then people will say, please take care of the artists of our company’s Mei PRO agency.

Well, that's enough. There's no need to mention any names. Any crew member with a little bit of sense will know what to do.

The work that Kurokawa Akane takes is relatively normal, but Magana takes too many, so Duanmu Huai also has to wake her up.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

After all, she is an artist under our company. An actor is not an idol. We can squeeze her out of her for a lifetime. We can't let her go to waste like this.

"Xiao Ai, I'll finish work at about seven today. Do you want to go have dinner together?"

At this time, Kurokawa Akane came over with shining eyes and asked.

"Forget about it these two days. I want to solve this problem first."

Duanmu Huai said as he pointed at the cardboard box in front of him. He didn't object to going out to eat with Kurokawa Akane, after all, eating out was quite fun, but Duanmu Huai was the kind of person who would first solve the current troubles before slowly enjoying it. Now that the job offer has come to him, he has to make a decision first.

"Okay, let's talk about it in two days."

Kurokawa Akane also obeyed obediently, packed up and left. Soon, everyone walked out of the office again and started their day's work. Duanmu Huai lay on the sofa, eating snacks while looking through the invitations.

Just then, the door of the office opened again.

"Good morning."

"Hey, Mai, you're here."

Duanmu Huai raised his hand and waved at Sakurajima Mai.

"You came a little late today."

"Because I'm off today, I just wanted to come and take a look."

Sakurajima Mai said this as she walked into the office and looked around.

"What about the rest?"

"Everyone is busy working."

"That's just right."

Mai Sakurajima walked over to Duanmu Huai and sat down, then took out her cell phone and stuffed it in front of Duanmu Huai.

"check it out."

"What the hell? Any scandal or gossip about anyone?"

Duanmu Huai looked at the content on the phone curiously, but to his surprise, what Mai showed him was not some rumor or gossip, but an urban legend.

“………………Puberty syndrome?”

"Yes."

"Are you interested in urban legends?"

"No."

Sakurajima Mai shook her head.

"Take a closer look."

"Well, let me see... Puberty syndrome refers to strange and special events that happen to adolescent boys and girls... Hmm?"

Having said that, Duanmu Huai was stunned for a moment and looked at Sakurajima Mai.

"Are you saying that your strange condition before was puberty syndrome?"

"Yes."

Mai Sakurajima nodded.

"Although my symptoms have disappeared thanks to you, I still don't understand why I have this strange condition. It's true that I have troubles, and I even wanted to disappear from the world at that time. But I'm not the only one with similar troubles, so why am I the only one who has this situation?"

“Indeed, this is also a very interesting question.”

Duanmu Huai put down the invitation in his hand, squinted his eyes and stared at the message board on his mobile phone. This was the "Puberty Syndrome" section, and there were various cases on it, including "being able to hear other people's voices", "seeing someone's future" or "someone and someone else's personality swap" cases.

What Sakurajima Mai said was right. There were countless people in this world who had similar troubles as her, so why was she the only one who had this symptom?
Or maybe……

"Other people also developed these symptoms, but because I didn't observe them, they literally disappeared from this world."

“…………………………”

Mai Sakurajima trembled slightly.

"If that's the case, then this world is terrible."

For Mai Sakurajima, this is not a fantasy story on the Internet, but a real reality. If Duanmu Huai had not noticed her, Mai Sakurajima would have completely disappeared from this world, and she would not even be on the list of missing persons at that time, because Mai Sakurajima has never existed in this world.

Just thinking about this, Mai Sakurajima felt a little chilly.

"interesting."

Unlike Sakurajima Mai, Duanmu Huai's eyes were shining at this moment.

"It seems that this thing is worth investigating."
