Tokyo: The evil god doesn't want to be the top star

Chapter 499 Xia Fan is out of reach

"Ahem, thanks to Xia Fan, the recommendation from the Ministry of Culture is good for the movie box office. Everyone must work harder."

"Now that all the actors are in place, everyone in the crew, let's start filming as planned."

Noticing the boost in momentum brought by the joining of new actors, Tsuchiya Haruo also breathed a sigh of relief, patted Xia Fan on the shoulder, made some arrangements, and then left.

Although Xia Fan's joining the crew saved the filming plan in time and brought official recommendation from the Ministry of Culture, the subsequent publicity and promotion also requires corresponding resources. As a producer, these are what he will have to strive for from investors and theaters.

After that, Nakano gradually confirmed the shooting plan to everyone, announced the end of the meeting, and officially restarted the shooting.

"Mr. Xia, every time there is a problem with the project, you appear in front of me in time like a hero..."

"Woooooooooooooo, you are definitely my destined lucky star!"

When the staff members dispersed one after another and prepared for the filming excitedly, Nakano showed no supervision at all and hugged Xia Fan with tears in his eyes.

"In all previous projects, Director Nakano's professionalism was outstanding... Ah, my nose is snotting..."

Relying on his strong body, Xia Fan swung his arms and calmly broke free from the opponent's "cross lock".

"Sorry, sorry, I can't help myself... Please sit down first, please sit down first..."

After wiping his nose, Nakano smiled flatteringly, pulled out a stool for Xia Fan to sit down, and fanned him with the script.

"Hey, someone, immediately arrange a separate lounge for Xia Jun. Prepare all the necessary items. Make sure they are the most luxurious!"

Turning around, he changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book, and sternly told his assistant to help Xia Fan prepare the room.

"I'm sorry, Xia Jun, Producer Tsuchiya sent me a message, asking me to contact the staff at the Cultural Affairs Bureau first..."

"The lounge will be ready in half an hour. Please take a look at the script here first. The shooting method this time is quite special. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me to come over and explain the scene to you!"

After a few more polite words, Nakano backed out of the meeting room with a look of joy on his face.

If an uninformed person saw this scene, they might think that Xia Fan was the supervisor and he was just an assistant.

"Oh, Xia Jun's name has been very well-known to us these days."

A sweet female voice sounded from the back.

"Let me introduce myself to you. I'm Mamiya Yu, and these guys are from the Anti-Chrysanthemum Youth Group..."

With a clear smile, Jian Gong Xi generously extended her tenderness to Xia Fan.

"We are all artists from the same company and we are filming a movie in the same crew. It is such a great fate."

"Xia Jun, you have filmed a TV series before, so you have to give us more guidance in the future."

The four members of the Anti-Chrysanthemum Youth Group also stood behind her and greeted her with warm smiles.

"I don't deserve it. You are all my seniors in the same company. I hope you can give me more advice and we can have a pleasant cooperation."

Xia Fan gentlemanly touched the white fingertips of Mamiya Yu and then retreated, then shook hands with several people in turn.

Although he didn't have a good impression of the artists from J Company, he still had to maintain basic courtesy since these "seniors from the company" didn't put on airs at all.

"By the way, let's create a LINE group so we can discuss work."

"what?"

"Also, after we start filming, we won't be able to go out for a while. How about we have dinner together tonight? Xia Jun, can you come too?"

"But, isn't it time to start filming? Director Nakano is here too..."

After saying hello, the members of the Anti-Chrysanthemum Youth Group took the opportunity to pull Xia Fan into the group, and started chatting about where to go for the dinner...

"Xia Jun's current popularity is really extraordinary..."

Looking at Xia Fan who was surrounded like the sun, Horie Tsubasa in the corner, who was about to take a step forward, hesitated.

"Humph, you said you wanted to stay and meet him... It seems like that guy is no longer someone we can afford..."

"Go put on your makeup first. We'll meet again this afternoon when we shoot the theme song MV."

Shirakawa Rika frowned and pulled Horie Tsubasa to walk out of the meeting room.

"I've been trying to control my weight recently, so I won't attend the dinner party..." "Hey, Xia Jun is so ruthless, you have to indulge yourself once in a while."

"Sorry, I have something else to do here."

"Wait, Xia Jun..."

At the same time, Xia Fan ignored the enthusiastic invitations from Mamiya Xi and the Fangju Boys Group and strode away from them.

"It would be a pleasure to buy you two a cup of coffee?"

Amid their surprised gazes, he walked up to Horie Tsubasa and Shirakawa Rika and greeted them playfully.

"There seems to be a nice store near the crew's office."

"Then it's better to be respectful than to obey."

Shirakawa Rika and Horie Tsubasa looked at each other, then left with Xia Fan.

"Xia Fan... my charm is actually not as good as those two women?"

Watching the three people's backs as they left, Mamiya Xi's eyes blossomed like flowers.

"Interesting... Only flowers with owners are worth picking."

She was not angry at all, instead she showed a silly smile.

"This Xia Fan actually triggered Mamiya's 'special hobby'..."

"The Minotaur Queen has taken action. Will Xia Fan drain her dry later?"

The four members of the Anti-Chrysanthemum Youth Group looked at each other with expressions showing that they were looking forward to a good show.

……

The large cafe box has tables filled with colorful salads and desserts.

"That's right, Xia Fan, you are really smart. Even after becoming a big star, you still remember to respect your former seniors."

Rika Shirakawa elegantly picked up a cup of pink pudding and ate it with great joy.

"How dare I? Senior Shirakawa is the one who has risen from being the heroine of a TV series to being the heroine of a movie in just a few months. Her career has really grown by leaps and bounds."

Xia Fan, who was sitting opposite, took a sip of coffee and complimented skillfully.

"That's the result of my more than ten years of accumulated acting skills. It's just a natural progression."

"Horijiang, don't you want to eat? The desserts here are made with konjac and sugar substitutes, so you don't have to worry about the calories!"

When the matter of "promotion" was mentioned, Shirakawa Rika puffed out her chest with pride, but still cared about Horie Tsubasa who was drinking water with his head down.

"Come to think of it, what I didn't expect was that the class monitor would actually make his real debut one day."

Looking at Horie Tsubasa next to him, Xia Fan's eyes were full of curiosity.

"It is a development trend for the entire industry for voice actors to step onto the stage. I just don't want to fall behind."

Horie Tsubasa looked at Xia Fan with complicated eyes, bit her lower lip lightly, and lowered her head.

"Is that so? With the class leader's appearance, it would be a loss for the entertainment industry if he didn't debut."

With a sigh, Xia Fan quickly tapped the table with both hands, a look of determination flashed in his eyes...

"To be honest, I already know about the 'accident' that happened behind the temporary replacement of the male lead in this drama."

The next second, he got straight to the point.

"What... you know..."

"What about Chichu-kun?"

Shirakawa Rika, who was eating dessert, and Horie Tsubasa, who had just picked up a glass of water, were instantly petrified on the spot.
