I really just want to grind for entries related to crossover anime/manga.

"The 12th of last month was the third day after Genkawa signed the performance contract for '49'. Although the production team made the first payment, his account balance was still not much."

"If I remember correctly, on the 12th of last month... Genkawa-kun only had 68,000 yen in his account."

"I would like to ask this aggressive reporter, how did you manage to buy a 200,000 yen article for 68,000 yen? Does such a transaction model even exist in this world?"

"Wh...what?!"

Volume One: The Shining Morning Star, Chapter Forty: A Surprise Attack, Reversing Public Opinion!

"Wh...what?!"

When Nakahara Kazuya revealed the details of Genkawa Yu's account, there was an immediate uproar among those around him.

At this moment, both the media and readers realized one thing: these two reporters had deliberately come to cause trouble today in order to ruin Yuan Chuan You's reputation.

"Instead of your string of lies, since everyone is here, I'll add one more thing. I hope those who still misunderstand me understand one thing: don't let others lead you astray."

Amidst the horrified gazes of the two reporters, Genkawa Yu suddenly raised his hand and waved again.

"Sakurajima-san, please come in now."

Upon hearing this, both the readers and the media personnel with their cameras and microphones were instantly stunned. Everyone turned around and, sure enough, saw a figure outside the door.

With a "whoosh," the side door of the mall's atrium was gently pushed open.

A slender figure walked slowly towards her, sunlight filtering through her hair and casting dappled shadows on the ground.

Mai Sakurajima was wearing a beige wool trench coat today, with the collar slightly open, revealing a light apricot-colored knitted dress underneath, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps.

Her long hair was loosely tied back, with a few wisps falling beside her cheeks, making her neck appear even longer. The girl wore just the right amount of light makeup, with clear but not sharp eyebrows, slightly upturned eyes, and dusty rose lipstick, which gave her both an aura and a reassuring gentleness.

What was most striking was what she was holding—a brown paper file folder, which she gripped tightly, causing her knuckles to turn slightly white from the force.

"Is it really Mai Sakurajima?"

Not only did some readers in the front row recognize her, but many media outlets present were also stunned. As a child star who debuted as an actress, Mai Sakurajima has a very high level of popularity.

"Did Mr. Genkawa plan out what would happen today in advance?"

"Could it be that Sakurajima-san has something in his hand..."

Various actions began to pop into everyone's minds one after another, while the flashbulbs of the media personnel next to them went off like crazy!

Mai Sakurajima walked over to Genkawa and took out a stack of manuscripts from the leather file.

"This is the original manuscript of the first few chapters of 'Love Letter.' Genkawa-san showed it to me a long time ago, and there are my annotations on it."

She held up the manuscript paper to show the camera, which contained some annotations and delicate handwriting unique to girls.

Besides presenting the manuscript, the girl began to share her thoughts with everyone present. Her voice was soft, but it attracted everyone's attention.

“I have co-starred with Genkawa-san. He is not only an excellent actor, but also talented and hardworking. I don’t want him to be slandered or even become a public figure that is disliked by the public.”

"This book, Love Letter, is Genkawa-san's original work. I am probably his first reader."

Mai Sakurajima spoke in a calm and unhurried tone, as if she were chatting with the people in front of her.

"Whether it was allegations of ghostwriting or plagiarism, the truth has now come to light. Do we really want to misunderstand such an outstanding person?"

"We have always believed in Mr. Genkawa!"

The readers immediately chimed in, both men and women shouting.

"That's right!"

"Sakurajima-san is absolutely right! With so much evidence right here, the rumors simply can't hold water!"

"Get that reporter who spread rumors out!"

"quick!"

The readers burst into enthusiastic applause, and some immediately surrounded the two reporters, staring at them with unfriendly expressions.

"See that? That's the evidence!"

"Stop spreading rumors! You're shameless!"

"Quickly apologize to Mr. Genkawa!"

The two reporters turned deathly pale. They tried to explain, but were drowned out by the angry shouts. Finally, they were "escorted" out of the mall by security guards arranged by the firm.

After the two reporters left, Genkawa Yu took the microphone, his gaze sweeping over the bustling scene, his voice carrying an unprecedented power.

"Thank you all so much for your support of 'Love Letters'. Today was supposed to be a great book signing event, which would have allowed me to understand the readers' thoughts, but the interview incident just now was something I didn't expect."

In the entertainment industry, the most important thing is the ability to seize opportunities.

With the reporters gone, he naturally wanted to make the most of the opportunity to clarify and summarize his remarks, since the media standing nearby had certainly had a great time taking pictures today.

As long as these materials are reported, tomorrow—no, tonight—public opinion will undergo a major reversal.

Genkawa Yu raised the "Love Letter" book, his tone becoming much more animated.

"This book has sold over 100,000 copies not because I'm particularly talented, but because people believe in the genuine emotions within the story."

"No matter what happens, winter will always pass."

Let's look forward to the spring breeze and welcome the most beautiful time together!

"Well said!"

"Go, Mr. Genkawa!"

Thunderous applause erupted from the audience, and readers cheered, holding up their books.

The subsequent book signing event turned into a frenzy. Readers surrounded Yu Genkawa to take photos and share their stories of being moved by "Love Letter." The media chased after Arashi Kato and Yu Genkawa's manager, Kazuya Nakahara, trying to dig into the story of the two reporters from earlier.

Even passersby were caught up in the enthusiasm of the scene and rushed into the bookstore to buy "Love Letters".

The video of the autograph session was released that afternoon and immediately became the number one trending topic on Twitter.

#Yu Genkawa's autograph session turned the tables#

#Reporter's fabricated evidence exposed during interview#

#Love Letter is really good#

Three hashtags dominated the top three trending topics, and the number of discussions exceeded ten million overnight. In the originally densely packed topics about Genkawa Yu's scandals, comments such as "apology" and "support Genkawa-kun" suddenly began to appear.

The young man's Twitter followers also began to grow further, successfully surpassing 300,000 in just one day.

After the autograph session ended, Genkawa Yu stayed in the restaurant where the celebration party was held, silently staring at his system screen.

"Hmm... I think I met a lot of people today, and I even asked them about their hobbies and lifestyles..."

Why am I gaining so little experience?

Production Sequence 1: The Masses

Experience points: 4/100

Experience points: 5/100

Experience points: 6/100

The somewhat puzzled young man reread the description of the entry, his brow furrowing slightly.

To acquire truly moving acting skills, one needs to interact with all sorts of people in the world and deeply understand their spiritual outlook and social standing.

"Could it be that ordinary contact is useless, and only in-depth communication is needed?"

"Then... what should we do?"

The up-and-coming author, who had just triumphed at the book signing, scratched his head and fell into deep thought.

Volume 1 The Shining Morning Star: Chapter 41 The Masses, A Romance Variety Show? (2.8k words, please read on!)

After the autograph session ended, the weather in Tokyo became increasingly warm.

On the windowsill of Yuanchuan You's rented room, several potted green plants stretched out their leaves, with water droplets glistening on the tips of the leaves, looking lush and vibrant.

The young man looked at his phone screen, where videos and topics about the autograph session were increasing, almost dominating the trending list on Twitter.

The hashtag #YuYuYu's Autograph Session Turns the Tide has been flooded with tens of thousands of comments, and the reversal of public opinion has become an inevitable trend that no one can stop.

Of course, there are also some people who follow the entertainment industry and Jenny Entertainment. Through previous scandals and clues, they have analyzed the mastermind behind the scenes. They led Genkawa Yu's fans to leave messages and flood the official account of Jenny Entertainment, hoping for an explanation.

"Can you apologize to Mr. Genkawa?"

"Jenny's Agency should just go bankrupt already! Their deliberate suppression of newcomers is disgusting!"

"You guys kicked Yu-kun out of the production crew after he only filmed one episode of '49,' that's really too much!"

"But the plot of Yu-kun's first episode is much better than that Yamada guy they introduced, it's hilarious!"

"Apologize! Apologize to Yu-kun right now!!!"

Genkawa Yu's Twitter followers have surpassed 500,000 and are still rising. These are not fake followers bought by bots; they are all real people with very high activity levels.

People spontaneously formed various fan LINE groups and came up with an official nickname for Genkawa Yu – "Yu-kun".

Regarding these matters, manager Kazuya Nakahara's idea is to let the fans handle it themselves, and Yu Minakawa doesn't need to get involved. Anyway, the more fans there are, the more attention they will get in the end.

On the other hand, after this autograph session ended, those management companies or program teams that were previously wary of Johnny's "blacklist" began to get restless, since no one would not want ready-made traffic and popularity.

Moreover, Yu Genkawa is also the author of the up-and-coming popular novel "Love Letter," and the general public on the internet is very interested in him.

"Kurokawa, what do you think of this script? Help me evaluate it."

In the past few days, Hoshino Agency has received many scripts, all specifically inviting Yu Genkawa, so Kazuya Nakahara has directly delivered them to him.

"Okay, let me take a look."

Kurokawa Akane, sitting on the carpet opposite, smiled slightly. She had no work today and had come to visit Genkawa Yu without any trouble.

The two have now become good friends, and Genkawa Yu is very close to her.

After all, the girl had a very easy-going personality, and she had been able to bravely support him during that period, a friendship that the young man felt he needed to cherish.

Sitting across from her at the small wooden table was Akane Kurokawa, wearing a simple light blue coat. Her long blue hair was loosely tied back with a hair tie, with a few stray strands falling across her forehead. She looked elegant and beautiful, a very pleasing sight.

Holding the script handed to her, the girl looked very serious.
