Uma Musume: Become a Legendary Trainer

Chapter 248 Two "Secretaries" (1w)

After walking back to the living room from the house, before he could even greet anyone, Maruzenski heard words similar to what he had just said.

"...Ms. Tetsuna probably hasn't forgotten what happened back then, so I think if Ms. Kurokawa has anything to say, you can tell her in person."

The one who spoke was Kitahara. He was sitting facing the guest room where Maruzenski came out. He soon saw the latter coming out and nodded in acknowledgement.

Maruzenski also nodded in response, and then, together with Kurokawa Masato who followed him, walked to the side of the sofa set and stood silently.

Kurokawa Mihiro was sitting opposite Kitahara. Maruzenski could only see Kurokawa Mihiro's back just now, but now he realized that the old man looked hesitant and hesitant.

"It's a good idea to use a movie to apologize, and Miss Tesuna loves watching movies. She won't miss a work by an excellent director like you."

Looking at Kurokawa Miyu again with a sincere gaze, Kitahara continued, as if to comfort and enlighten her:
"But through the movie... I'm going to say something a bit presumptuous. I hope you can forgive me. I personally think that this is not true sincerity."

"And I just mentioned that Miss Tezuna likes watching movies. She has watched all of your movies. I think this may be proof that she has not forgotten everything that happened back then."

"Maruzen, you are more familiar with Miss Tezuna, right?"

Although he did not expect Kitahara to ask him suddenly, after understanding everything, as a fellow horse girl, Maruzenski felt that he could understand Surukawa Tezuna's thoughts and agreed with Kitahara's meaning.

"Well, many times when I went shopping with Miss Tezuna, she would inexplicably turn into the cinema halfway through the walk."

Kitahara and Maruzenski confirmed this at the same time, however, Kurokawa Miyu still looked hesitant.

"...But, after all, she didn't tell you in person, did she?"

Hesitantly, the old man said: "She... probably hasn't told anyone. Does she remember what happened back then?"

"If she remembered, she would... would find me, scold me, and resent me."

"Yes, I... Actually, I've always been thinking, even if it's scolding and resentment, if she can really remember what happened back then and do this to me..."

"I deserve it, and I am... very happy."

After hearing this, Maruzenski, who had previously been angry about what happened to Surukawa Tetsuna or Harvest Time during his service, could only sigh.

There is no use being angry. It has been so many years since the incident. What's more, let's not talk about Tetsuro Sakamura. The old lady Kurokawa Miyu is obviously tormented by her own negligence back then.

You know, before her son succeeded her as chairman of the company, she almost controlled most of the business empire, especially in the film and television industry.

Not only is she a director, Mihiro Kurokawa is also an excellent producer. Some of the most well-known films were produced under her coordination.

But now, this old man, who was not an exaggeration to say that he was in a high position and had great power, had become like a child who had made a mistake because of his regrets and self-blame from the past. Even if Maruzenski wanted to be angry, he did not have enough emotion.

When he thought of movies, Maruzenski's eyes lit up.

"Please don't say that, Ms. Kurokawa," she walked to the opposite side of Kurokawa Miyu, sat down next to Kitahara, and said seriously:

"Ms. Tetsuna really likes the movies you directed and produced."

"Let's not talk about the film you directed yourself. She told me in person that she had watched it many times and even wrote a review and sent it to a magazine."

“…I know all this…”

A little smile appeared on her bitter face, like a child being praised, and Kurokawa Miyu said anxiously:
"The magazine she applied to happens to be managed by me..."

"She wrote very well... I specifically asked the editor-in-chief to put it on the front page."

"Well, Ms. Tetsuna also told me that she was very excited to see her review on the front page."

Maruzenski perked up, "This should prove it, right?"

"It proves that Miss Tetsuna has not forgotten what happened in the past, and she must have forgiven you... No, it should be said that she has never blamed you from the beginning."

"I'm also a horse girl. To be honest, I was very angry when I learned that Miss Tetsuna retired... or those misfortunes."

The joy of the little girl being praised disappeared, and Kurokawa Miyu's eyes dimmed.

"But, but, I believe you did your best to teach Miss Tsuna, didn't you?"

Maruzenski quickly explained, "No one wants to see that kind of thing happen in that era, but what can they do in that era when facing such a thing?"

"Besides, so many years have passed. Whether you want to apologize, forgive, or confirm, don't you need to let go of the past and meet first?"

At this time, Maruzenski had already understood why Kurokawa Miyu, who loved Uma Musume so much, had hardly ever been to Central Tresen College.

Because Tetsuna Sugawa was there, and Miyu Kurokawa always felt guilty.

Realizing this, Maruzenski wanted to persuade the latter to let all the guilt be discussed after they met.

But as if influenced by the joy just now, Kurokawa Miyu was really as stubborn as a little girl who had not grown up for a moment.

"…If I could really meet him, I wouldn't have waited until now."

With his hands clasped together to cover his face, the old man seemed to have aged many years in an instant.

"I... really admire your personality of speaking your mind like Beiyuan. As an old man... I should learn from you and speak more."

"I just... I just wanted to prove to my family at first that I could make my own way without relying on them or listening to them."

"But I didn't dare at first."

“It was her. She gave me confidence.”

Light shone through her fingers. Kurokawa Miyu didn't say who it was, but everyone present knew that she was talking about Tetsuna Sugawa.

"With each victory, she gave me more and more confidence..."

"So many, I thought, it was all because of me, I can do anything..."

“Isn’t it…?”

"If I wasn't so arrogant, how could I... ignore her injuries...?"

"I should have seen it... I could see her gentle smile and confident declarations every day, and I could see that behind her, she was already covered in scars..."

"I... am not worthy of being a trainer."

"What right do I have to see her again...?"

A faint, whimpering sound came from under ten put together, old and dry fingers.

Masato Kurokawa, who was standing silently at the side, looked gloomy, moved his upper body, but finally stopped and bowed deeply.

Maruzenski was anxious and wanted to get up, but before she could get up, she felt her sleeves tighten and she sat down subconsciously.

Knowing that it was Kitahara who held him back, Maruzenski had an inexplicable trust in this young trainer. He felt that if it were him, he might be able to convince the old man in front of him.

But she was soon confused by what she heard next.

"Then, let's follow my other suggestion and try to reach this settlement through means other than movies, Ms. Kurokawa, what do you think?"

...Another suggestion? What new and surprising thing has Kitahara come up with?

Maruzenski felt that the confusion he encountered today might be more than in the past week.

Masato Kurokawa also had a puzzled expression on his face, but his mother seemed to have known it.

After all, she was once half the helmsman of a business giant. Thinking of the past, Kurokawa Mihiro's momentary loss of composure did not last long.

She quickly put down her hand. Although her face showed fatigue and her eyes were slightly moist, she did not show any further loss of composure.

"Witnessing 'Perfection' with my own eyes... witnessing her running again..." She confirmed hesitantly.

……Perfect……?
Maruzenski was stunned for a moment, and then realized that in the script he had read before, Suruga Tezuna's nickname before her debut was "パーフェクト", which means Perfect in English.

"Well, I think that if it's Uma Musume, no matter how long it's been, if there's something you want to say, there's nothing better than a run as an opportunity."

In response to Kurokawa Miyu's question, Kitahara nodded heavily, "The same is true for us trainers."

"Of course, you may feel unworthy of your position as a trainer, but you are her former trainer after all, so you should be clear about one thing."

"Seeing your own horse girl running again, the feeling at that moment will definitely make you let go of everything."

Before Kurokawa Masato said anything, Maruzenski's eyes lit up.

"That's right! It just so happens that Kitahara needs Miss Junchuan's help, so let us take care of her side!"

Maruzenski was a little excited.

As a horse girl herself, she has met many trainers. She knows very well that the best way to communicate, whether among horse girls or between horse girls and trainers, is through running.

Born to run, everything is born for running, the best stage to show Uma Musume's true feelings is the runway.

The reason why most people, or even everyone, love Uma Musume is because they see these wonderful running figures.

Not bad, Kitahara. In this way, the issues concerning Oguruma and the others, and the issues between Ms. Kurokawa and Ms. Surukawa can be resolved through the same run.

Her voice was a little loud due to her surprise, and when she realized this, she quickly apologized.

"Oh, sorry, I lost my composure..."

"It's okay, but..."

Without paying too much attention to Maruzenski's gaffe, Kurokawa Miyu's hesitation was filled with thought.

"Kitahara, you said before that Wanmei has an extraordinary running ability, comparable to any active horse girl..."

"is this real?"

"If she doesn't have the same strength as she did back then, I'm worried..."

She didn't say anything else, but everyone present knew that she was afraid that the tragedy of that year would happen again.

Maruzenski was also a little worried, but when she thought about how she had teased Tetsuna Shunkawa for getting fat and being chased by someone around most of the campus, she felt that there seemed to be no problem.

Even though she was just having fun and didn't try her best, as a "phantom supercar" that had won eight races in a row, there was no reason for her to be easily chased by "people".

What's more, it wasn't the classic triple crown, and Tetsuna Sumikawa... might not have tried his best.

As she was thinking about it, she was about to provide evidence, but she didn't expect someone to get there first.

"There is no evidence in the data yet, but there is one small thing that should be able to show it."

Upon hearing Kitahara's words, Maruzenski's heart moved.

yes……

Beiyuan must have known what happened back then, but...

How did he discover Tetsuna's true identity in the first place...?
It shouldn’t be the Kurokawa mother and son who told her...?
Could it be Tetsuna herself?

Maruzenski became curious.

"Before I came to Kasamatsu, I once came to Tokyo wearing the Oguri hat and the new glow."

Reminiscing, Kitahara talked about the past, "It was by chance that we stopped by Central Tresen College."

"Then we encountered an accident. Two little guys ignored the gate control and returned to the academy late. They tried to climb over the wall secretly and accidentally slipped down."

He stretched out his arms and gestured, and he said in detail: "At that time, Xiao Limao and I should have been about this far away from the two children."

"You know how strong Xiao Limao is. Although she hadn't entered the Central Academy yet, she already had the strength of a great prize winner."

"She rushed over almost in the blink of an eye and caught the two little ones in time."

"Inside the hospital, the speed was almost the same... no, perhaps even better."

Retracting his arm and looking directly at Kurokawa Miyu, Kitahara nodded heavily, "That's Miss Tetsuna Tetsuna."

"You should understand what I mean, right?"

Not only Kurokawa Miyu, but Maruzenski also understood it.

Before coming to the center, Oguruma's strength was certainly not as strong as it is now, but she was definitely not weak.

You know, this reed-haired monster basically started to shine when he arrived at the Central Academy, and his strength will not change no matter where he is.

Then since his speed is the same as or even faster than that of Oguri, there seems to be no need to doubt Tetsuna Sugawa's strength.

"Of course, with my training habits, I will use a scientific and systematic approach to evaluate any horse girl or race I come into contact with."

After seeing the old man across from him nod, Kitahara continued, "In other words, if Miss Tezuna agrees to help us with this favor, I will use the data to analyze her situation."

"Please rest assured about this."

"That's no problem. The strength of the Yongshi team is now obvious to all. If it weren't for you, I would be worried."

It seemed that she had recovered from her previous emotions, or perhaps she began to look forward to what Kitahara said, and Kurokawa Miyu gradually became serious.

"Then I really leave this matter to you, Kitahara."

"It's still like what I said, no matter what the outcome is, scolding, resentment, whatever, I hope there will be an answer."

"Thank you very much. Thank you very much."

After expressing her thanks, she bowed very solemnly, causing Kitahara to quickly move aside.

Kitahara was confident that he could help Kurokawa Miyu, but he really couldn't accept the gratitude from his elders without thinking, otherwise it would be a bit rude.

"Besides, you care so much about these old stories of mine. I appreciate your kindness no matter what."

Miyu Kurokawa looked at her son and said, "The company should have some plans for Kitahara's club's proposal, right?"

When these words were spoken, not only Kurokawa Masato, but also Kitahara and Maruzenski were stunned.

"Yes, some, Mother."

After being stunned for a moment, like a worker who just graduated and went to work, Kurokawa Masato suddenly stood up and bowed, "I'll take it right away..."

"No need. They should all be very conservative. I know the style of those old guys on the board of directors."

With a casual wave of his hand, the old man seemed to become ten years younger in an instant, and his eyes became much sharper.

"There's no need to worry too much. For some things, it's too late to join in the fun after you succeed."

"The Kurokawa family didn't come that way."

"Prepare a capital injection plan and provide all kinds of support to the club that Beiyuan is going to establish in the form of a shareholder."

"It's hard to understand why they would wait and see when they know so clearly the key opportunity for the future of the industry."

Shaking her head, Kurokawa Miyu waved her hand again, "You go take care of this first, I'll talk to Kitahara about the event."

Now, even Maruzenski, who didn't know much about business, understood that Kitahara... seemed to have secured a terrifying investment for the team without realizing it?

Maruzenski is very familiar with the inside story of a big family like the Kurokawa family. She has some understanding not only of its influence but also of its power structure.

After all, her family is also a long-established family in the horse racing girl industry.

In such a family, the person who is pushed to the forefront of the situation often does not have the final decision-making power.

For example, Kurokawa Masato, who appears to be the head of a business consortium, is actually still constrained by the older generation when running his business.

This situation is the same whether in Japan or the UK.

In other words, even if Xizhen Company had been cooperating with Kitahara's team before, it was only limited to the level of Kurokawa Masato.

When his mother spoke, that was another matter.

Maruzenski had no intuitive idea of ​​what amount this statement represented.

But intuitively, if she were given all of them, she could change to a different sports car every day and have a different one every month.

So... Kitahara was just doing a favor and organizing a competition, which wasn't even a Shining Star competition...

Just in exchange for an investment in dozens of luxury sports cars?
In fact, Maruzenski still lacked intuition, and she didn't know that Kurokawa Miyu was not just expressing her gratitude.

It is true that the old man showed emotion before, but there is no emotion in business.

What really prompted the investment was the club.

Assuming Kitahara can do what he said at the press conference and open a club and corresponding competitions outside of the URA Shining Star Series, it will mean the beginning of a brand new "series".

If you invest now, you will get the original shares. All subsequent investments will have to transfer part of the profits to the original investors.

Of course, the details will definitely not be that simple, but this is not a problem for Xizhen Company.

As for whether the initial “if” can come true, there is no need to wait.

If you want to make money in business without taking any risks, you can only eat the leftovers, or even get nothing at all.

What's more, through training, competitions, doll peripherals, film and television animation, and mobile games, Kitahara has unknowingly demonstrated amazing business potential, but he never does it himself and only concentrates on training.

It is precisely because he concentrates on training that Kurokawa Miyu feels more at ease.

First of all, I can rest assured of this young man's professionalism.

Secondly, he will not be treated as a competitor by a young man who has no interest in business but has an unfathomable business talent.

Miyu Kurokawa saw these things very clearly, but she also knew that her son might not see them as clearly.

The board of directors of the company may not be unable to see clearly, but the conflicts of interest among themselves will definitely slow down this step.

Fortunately, I am not too old and my words are still effective.

These are the reasons why Kurokawa Miyu made the decision, and Maruzenski, who didn't know much about them, felt it was too abrupt.

Kitahara was also very familiar with those business principles and roughly understood Kurokawa Mihiro's plans.

He knows best what the club and the new competition are all about, and he has enough confidence to achieve it.

But he was a little bit surprised that the old man in front of him would be so straightforward.

"There's no rush. I mean, you don't have to rush and keep Brother Kurokawa busy."

Seeing that Kurokawa Masato was about to receive the order and go to work, Kitahara raised his hand to signal.

"Because of this competition, we still need your mother and son's assistance."

"And the club's affairs can just happen to be carried out together."

"Assist, carry out?"

Raising her hand and waving it, asking her son not to leave in a hurry, Kurokawa Miyu thought for a moment and asked, "Tell me about it?"

"At present, Miss Tezuna's strength is indeed outstanding, but she has not received professional training for so long, and it will take time for her to adapt to the competition."

Kitahara also pondered: "Besides that, if Miss Tetsuna is the only opponent of Oguri Hat, Super Cove, and Mejiro Aldan, it may not be enough."

"Perhaps it would be better to have one or more outstanding horse girls like this."

"And with an opponent who can rival her, I think Miss Tesuna's fighting spirit may be even more aroused." "Yes... yes, Perfect. She usually looks docile, but in fact, she is a person who gets stronger as she gets stronger."

After thinking about it, Kurokawa Miyu nodded, "I agree with you, Kitahara."

"So, do you want me or Masato to introduce you to some senior horse girls?"

"It's just that those of the same generation as Wanmei haven't been able to maintain their strength like her. This..."

After a slight hesitation, she shook her head and said, "This is probably the blessing from the three goddesses after they resurrected Perfection. Otherwise, she wouldn't have that kind of speed."

Kitahara agrees.

It has been confirmed that Sumikawa Tetsuna is the harvest moment of the year, and her strength is very strange.

Just as Kurokawa Miyu mentioned, the horse girls of the same generation as Suruga Tezuna no longer have the strength they once had due to age issues, so it is impossible for them to compete.

Even in the entire world of Umamusume, at least in Japan, there is only one special example, Tezuna Sagawa.

Like Kurokawa Miyu, Kitahara could only think that this might be due to the three goddesses.

"Then if it's not the horse girls from previous generations, the ones after perfection..." Kurokawa Miyu began to think.

Kitahara interrupted, which was a bit rude.

“Perhaps, we can broaden our horizons a bit.”

After saying this, seeing the stunned gazes coming towards him, Kitahara smiled.

"Like, America?"

"America...? You mean..."

Kurokawa Miyu is still confused, but Maruzenski, who knows more about horse racing girls and is a horse racing girl herself, has already understood.

“That’s a really good idea.”

Maruzenski suddenly clapped his hands and said, "I understand what Kitahara meant by starting a club."

"You want to introduce some American horse girls to Japan, right?"

"This will allow us to avoid the regulations of the URA Association, and also help us understand the international situation and prepare for future expeditions."

"And your uncle went to the United States for similar reasons. With him there, this arrangement will go much more smoothly."

"Another very realistic point is that the Umamusume here in Japan... well, there is still a gap between them and the rest of the world, especially Europe and America."

Sighing, Maruzenski smiled bitterly.

"For example, as I just said, if we want to find a horse girl as powerful and legendary as Miss Tetsuna, we may not be able to find a suitable one quickly in Japan."

"But the situation in Europe and the United States is not necessarily the same."

"To be honest, I, Luduo and the others... well, there is indeed a gap between us and them."

Sighing, she looked at Kitahara, "Anyway, with the help of this competition and going to the United States, many things can be solved at once."

"The mentality of Oguruma and the others is that they went to Europe and met world-class strongmen before, so they are so obsessed with winning and even a little careless."

"A trip to the United States might help reconcile the situation."

"Ms. Tetsuna will also be able to find a strong enough opponent, and Ms. Kurokawa will also be able to see her strongest strength now."

"The introduction of Umamusume will solve the club's most basic problem."

"Really... Oh, I suddenly don't understand, what's wrong with your brain, Kitahara? How could you come up with such an idea to kill two birds with one stone?"

This time she sighed in a joking tone, and then she asked:
"Well, am I right?"

Feeling Maruzenski's emotions, Kitahara couldn't help but laugh.

"You've already said what you want me to say?"

It was just a joke, and then he looked at Kurokawa Miyu and became serious.

"What I thought was no different from what Maruzenski said. Maybe it's a bit boastful to say that I can kill two birds with one stone, but... it's true."

"And what I hope you and Brother Kurokawa can help with is the arrangements for the trip to the United States."

He suddenly scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "After all, I am still a little famous in Japan."

“When I arrive in the United States, no one will recognize me.”

"Even with my uncle, many things may not go smoothly."

"So, I can only hope to use your energy to make something happen."

"I see, there's nothing wrong with that."

Almost like she had just decided to inject capital, Kurokawa Miyu did not drag her feet like other old people. She even stood up and loosened her restraints.

"America, I haven't been there for a while."

"It just so happens that some old friends in Hollywood have invited me several times, but I always turned them down. This time I can stop by and take a look."

"Masato, prepare to pack your bags and arrange the company's affairs. You will come to America with me."

Facing his mother's instructions, Kurokawa Masato once again showed the attitude of a newly employed worker. In response, Kurokawa Miyu nodded, then suddenly looked at Kitahara and said with a smile:

"Come to think of it, it would be a bit embarrassing if we really went to Hollywood."

"I haven't produced any outstanding works in many years. If I go this time, I will inevitably be laughed at."

"If I had shown 'Phantom Horse' to Kitahara earlier, maybe I could have shown it off a bit."

I don't know if it was a joke or not, but this old man who has made great achievements in the film and television industry walked over and patted Kitahara on the shoulder.

"My son always says that if you were a businessman, he would be no match for you."

“But I think you’d be pretty good as a director.”

"Maybe if you were faced with this kind of thing, you could come up with a good script and it wouldn't be so embarrassing."

"You...huh?"

Suddenly, he realized that after hearing what he said, Kitahara's expression suddenly became strange, and Kurokawa Miyu was stunned.

"You... don't you really have a script?"

When saying this, Kurokawa Mihiro still had some joking intention.

After all, as a director and producer, she knows very well that excellent scripts are hard to come by.

The fact that Kitahara can produce Uma Musume movies and anime, and can also adapt "Phantom Horse", is probably the greatest display of his talent.

It is really difficult to get a new script on short notice that can be approved by Hollywood-level directors and producers.

But what she didn't expect was that after a visibly hesitant moment, Kitahara nodded.

"I... actually have a preliminary script plan."

This sentence made Kurokawa mother and son, and Maruzenski look surprised. Kitahara hesitated and thought for a while, and finally decided to speak out his uncertain idea.

"This project is also about finding a rival for Miss Tesuna. What are some suitable ones in the United States..."

As he said this, Kitahara spread his hands.

"Then it occurred to me that Miss Tetsuna is the secretary to the chairman of the board of directors at Central Tresen Academy."

"Isn't the English word for secretary secretary?"

"I just...thought of...Secretarint."

"That is the chairman of the United States Federation Teresen College... the secretariat."

"They are all 'secretaries'. Their strengths...are strong enough for Oguruma and the others anyway."

"Then maybe... we can try to invite the chairman... and Miss Tetsuna to participate in this competition to educate the younger generation?"

Kitahara became more and more uncertain as he spoke.

After all, he said, no matter how famous he was, it was only in Japan.

The secretariat is the chairman of the board of directors of Tresson College, the top college in the United States.

Not only is he busy with many things to do, he has also retired. It is impossible for him to agree to any competition easily, especially not one as big as the Shining Series.

This is just an event without any official name, or an "educational event".

Even if he wanted to invite Akikawa Yayoi to participate in such a competition, Kitahara would have to think about it for a long time.

The possibility of holding a similar invitational tournament across countries is even lower now, and it is no exaggeration to say that it is extremely unlikely.

"...Invite...the chairman of the United States Federation's Teresen College...to help you educate the horse girls..."

Maruzenski sighed intermittently, covering his forehead with his hands, "You...really dare to think about it, Kitahara..."

She was thinking the same thing as Kitahara was hesitating about, and felt that due to identity, responsibility, and other reasons, this kind of competition arrangement might not be possible.

But as a horse girl, she now knew the strength of Tetsuna Sumikawa, and she already knew what kind of legend Secretariat was.

When these two meet, even if she can only see them for a moment, she feels extremely excited.

Then, she suddenly thought of why Kitahara mentioned the script.

"Hey, Kitahara..."

Touching her chin, she tilted her head, "Is your script related to Ms. Secretariat?"

"Are you going to use that script as a reward for inviting her to participate in the competition?"

She thought of this, and so did Kurokawa Miyu. The latter looked at Kitahara without saying much.

"Let's talk briefly about the script. I think Kitahara may not have a draft in his hands, but he must have a rough draft in his mind."

"Tell me about it. If it's good enough, maybe..."

Kurokawa Miyu groaned for a moment and said, "Perhaps I can persuade the Secretariat."

Kitahara's eyes lit up and Maruzenski looked surprised. Seeing this, Kurokawa Miyu began to explain.

"The US is quite different from Japan. To put it another way, the Umamusume industry and the film and television industry there are much more advanced than here. These two industries in Japan are learned from there."

“So, the Umamusume industry and the film and television industry are very closely tied together in the United States.”

"Many American horse racing girls become movie stars after retirement. The movies they star in can bring more fame and revenue to the horse racing girl industry."

"The URA Association in the United States also attaches great importance to this cycle. Many directors and producers in Hollywood are focusing on this subject."

"I also learned a lot of my concepts and shooting skills from them."

"That is to say, your script is good enough and can be made into a well-received movie. Even the Secretariat will have to oblige you."

These words made Kitahara suddenly realize. He could have thought of this logic, but his daily life was indeed full of training and competitions, so he did not have as keen an understanding of this as Kurokawa Miyu.

But in any case, an uncertain idea was now almost taking shape, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Come on, copying a ready-made one, plus an adaptation of Ms. Kurokawa's caliber, how could the final product not be excellent...

Excited, Beiyuan calmed himself down.

"oh, I understand now."

After pondering for a while, he slowly said, "I have tentatively named this script... "A Proud Horse of the Generation"."

"A Proud Horse of Our Time" tells the story of the life of the Secretariat, which is of course a life in another world.

Frankly speaking, judging from the box office revenue, this movie cost 370 million and grossed 290 million, which is not actually excellent.

But this is not a problem with the script, but a problem with the director and shooting techniques.

The original author of this script is Randall Wallace, winner of the 1996 Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay.

The work that won that award included nominations or wins for almost all awards that year, including "Brave Heart".

There is generally no need to question the scripts written by screenwriters of this level.

And although the movie did not perform well at the box office, the response was very good. All major charts gave it a full score of 10, with ratings above 8 points, and some even gave it above 9 points.

It's a film that was critically acclaimed but not commercially successful.

The reason why the film failed to achieve good box office results was due to the director's problem, Randall Wallace.

This was the first time he directed a movie based on a script he had written. With his career change, his achievements in screenwriting apparently did not translate to directing.

Then there is the shooting technique.

Another World fails to capture the emotion of horse racing, and this is the biggest factor that leads to a poor viewing experience in theaters.

However, if "A Proud Horse" were to be filmed in this world, the main character would be the horse girl.

Hesitation, enthusiasm, struggle, striving, complacency, and great charm... Uma Musume can display all these emotions without reservation.

This is equivalent to taking an Oscar-level script to Hollywood to seek reviews, and Kitahara is fully confident that he can gain a lot of recognition.

In addition, he also felt that what was told in "A Proud Horse" was very similar to the story between Tetsuna Suruga and Mihiro Kurokawa.

"...I have some personal opinions, which may not be very mature."

He happened to say this, "Ms. Secretariat's trainer back then was actually very similar to you, Ms. Kurokawa."

"She was not recognized by the family and was required by the family to be a housewife."

"Besides, her situation could be much worse."

"After her father died, she had to accept the horse racing girl team, but she knew nothing about the game."

“But in the end, she started from scratch, overcame everything, and created a brilliant story with Secretariat.”

"I think... maybe in addition to the script, you can have new ideas when discussing this script with Ms. Secretariat and her trainer."

He didn't elaborate further. If he continued, it would seem like he was teaching an elder, which would be too rude.

But Miyu Kurokawa understood very well.

"Trainer Penny Chenery?"

He whispered the name of the secretariat's trainer back then, and Kurokawa Miyu nodded slightly.

"We had a brief contact, but we didn't talk too deeply. At that time, I was no longer a trainer..."

"But Kitahara, you're right. You're right."

She emphasized it twice and nodded twice.

"Perhaps, I should ask Ms. Penny for advice..."

After a moment of silence, she took a deep breath.

"You write this script first and give it to me when you're done."

"Leave the rest to me, too."

"It seems that I still have a lot to thank you for..."

As she said that, she suddenly looked at Kitahara deeply and said, "You...never mind, since you are concentrating on Uma Musume, then just focus on it."

"You can do more, can't you?"

In fact, in Kitahara's impression, Kurokawa Masato was already a decisive and capable person, but he didn't expect that his mother was even more decisive.

Apart from the last few meaningful words, everything else almost covered up the many ideas he had thought of overnight.

He had originally planned to bother some "big shots" with extraordinary power, such as Akikawa Yayoi and the Satomi family.

But since it can be handled properly in one go, it is definitely the best.

However, after having lunch at the hotel and finalizing some details of the trip to the United States in the afternoon, when she came out with Maruzenski, the horse racing girl reminded him of some things that had not been discussed.

"By the way, Chief Kitahara who seems to know everything... no, you should call him Chairman Kitahara, after all, your club is almost established."

With a joking tone, Maruzenski looked over with a hint of sarcasm.

"Have you already decided which Umamusume rookies you want to choose when you go to America this time?"

She was actually joking. After all, discovering horse girls is one of the most difficult things in the entire industry, otherwise there wouldn't have been no clubs for so long, but simpler organizations like teams.

But what she didn't expect was that this thing that was the most difficult for others was actually the easiest for Bei Yuan.

"Ah, I have some ideas."

Without thinking too much, nor noticing Maruzenski's suddenly shocked expression, Kitahara said casually:

"You should know about the symbol of good omen, right? It belongs to Luduo's family."

"I noticed before that she is now in Kentucky, USA."

"I just checked the horse racing girls over there, and I felt that there were two little ones who seemed to be very talented."

“El Condor Pasa, and Grass Wonder.”

"Oh, the Japanese translation should be, Condor, and, Flying on the Grass."

"They are both still in elementary school... oh yeah, they are about the same age as Tejo."

"I am considering that if I organize a club, I will definitely invite special weeks and good operas, but good operas can be arranged later. After all, special weeks are older and easier to train."

"Then find an opponent who is similar to her, otherwise there will be no way to compete."

"Oh, by the way, not to mention the United States, I also have some suitable options in Japan... Let me mention two first."

"Blue sky, and the Holy King's halo."

"You should have some impression of the two of them, Maruzen. They happened to be attending elementary school in Hokkaido, just like before the special week."

"I got to know them by chance and felt that they were both very talented. I wanted to try to get in touch with them both."

"How do you feel, Maruzen... huh? Why are you looking at me like that?"
