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

[The entry for "Never Stop Writing (Green)" has been obtained.]

After the entry was completed, Genkawa Yu glanced at his system panel.

[Junior Novelist (Green)] + [Continuous Writing (Green)] + [Advanced Research (Green)] = [Bestselling Author (Purple)]

"This synthesis path is missing one last term. Let's add it to the production sequence as soon as possible."

[Advanced Material Selection (Green)]

To write truly moving stories, drawing inspiration from identities and professions isn't enough; you need to experience more profound insights and feel the most important emotional connections between people.

[Available for production]

[Production Requirements: Gain 100 Advanced Resource Gathering Experience Points.]

"?"

"Emotional connections between people?"

Genkawa Yu touched his hair, then placed the [Advanced Material Gathering (Green)] into the [Entry Production Platform].

[Production Sequence Two: Advanced Material Selection]

Experience points: 0/100

Then comes the remaining [Production Sequence One], which concerns the advancement of acting skills and is now in its final stages.

[Production Sequence 1: Skilled Level Voice Actor Shape Chart]

Experience points: 78/100

The synthetic route is...

[Newcomer Actor (Green)] + [The Masses (White)] + [Skilled Voice, Stage Presence, and Acting (Green)] = [Leader-Level Acting (Purple)]

Genkawa Yu looked at the [Entry Synthesis Platform]. He was only a little bit away from obtaining [Protagonist-Level Acting (Purple)]. When filming movies, he would definitely be able to portray the character's image even more perfectly.

"good."

The next morning, Genkawa Yu attended the joint meeting with Suo Shun and senior executives of Hoshino Agency on time, and Kurokawa Akane, as the female lead, naturally also attended.

The meeting was efficient and pragmatic. Based on common interests, all parties quickly reached a consensus and finalized all the details for the official announcement.

A consistent copywriting format, precise release time, and subsequent promotional rhythm—the official announcement of "Love Like a Bouquet" was released precisely at 3 PM that day!

At 2:50 p.m., Genkawa Yu took his seat in a small conference room at Hoshino's office, with Kato Megumi quietly by his side.

Akane Kurokawa sat nervously across from her. This was her first time attending such an internal high-level meeting. When she was a nobody, she would never have had the chance to attend such occasions.

In the world of the internet, in a fan group called "We Who Love Yu-kun," Yu Minakawa's die-hard fan, Yuki Natsukawa, was frantically refreshing the page with astonishing speed and constantly posting messages in the group, her excitement overflowing.

Because Hoshino Agency had already released a schedule preview for Yu Genkawa as an artist a few days ago, the words "[movie project]" had excited fans for a long time.

Today we're announcing some important news, and everyone's really looking forward to it.

"Ladies, ten minutes to go! My heart is pounding! What big news is it?"

"Since it's a [movie project], it must be related to movies, right? I'm really looking forward to Yu-kun's first big-screen work."

"I'm so looking forward to it! It has to be a perfect big-budget production. No matter what kind of movie it is, I'll bring my whole family to support Yu-kun!"

"Praying! Hoping it will bring everyone happy news!"

"I'll just sit back and watch the show. As long as it's good for Youjun, I'll support you!"

I arrived precisely at 3:00.

Genkawa Yu's personal Twitter account, Hoshino's official agency account, and the official platform of the film production company represented by Suo Hayabusa all released a uniformly formatted announcement with an explosive amount of information at almost the same time!

"Yu Genkawa: New film project 'Love Like a Bouquet' officially announced!"

"I will play the male lead in this film and be responsible for the creation and adaptation of the original screenplay. It is a love story about meeting, resonating, and being as beautiful as a bouquet of flowers but as fleeting as the blooming season."

"I'm really looking forward to working with @黑川赤音_Akane, who will be playing the female lead in this film. Thank you to Mr. Suo Hayabusa for his trust and to the production team for their hard work. Please look forward to it!"

#The movie "Love Like a Bouquet"#, #Yu Minakawa#, #Akane Kurokawa#

The image below is a pure white concept poster with an extremely artistic and refreshing style, created by the art team. The main visual is the words "Love Like a Bouquet" in what appears to be handwritten script. Below, the names of Yuu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa are clearly listed side by side. The background is a blurred, warm halo and the imagery of falling petals.

This post was like a terrifying bomb, instantly exploding across the entire internet! The popularity of this official announcement skyrocketed at a visible speed, and it appeared on Twitter's trending list in about five minutes!

"My God! Yu Genkawa's new movie! And he wrote and starred in it himself! That's incredible!"

"Love Like a Bouquet! That title sounds like it has a story to tell! Is it an art-house romance film?"

"The female lead is Akane Kurokawa!"

"Yu Minakawa and Akane Kurokawa! I'm a Yuka fan, I'm so surprised I almost fainted."

"【Yuichi】's spring has finally arrived! The official team is so good at casting! And the script for this movie is also written by Genkawa-sensei. Isn't this practically an official announcement?!"

"I cried! I never thought that the lingering regret after the dating reality show would come true here, on the big screen."

"A visually stunning cast! Their acting is also something to look forward to. I could watch this show ten times just based on this lineup!"

"So, are the rumors true? Did they fall in love while filming? Are they really together?"

"Just look forward to it! It's a guaranteed box office hit."

"Is this a screenplay by Genkawa-sensei? I hope it's a good story."

In the core support group for "[Yuka]", Yuki Natsukawa's messages have completely flooded the screen, and she is so excited that she is incoherent.

"Ahhh!!! It's a romance movie! Yu-kun is both the screenwriter and the male lead!!"

"The female lead is Akane Kurokawa! It's Akane Kurokawa!!"

"Official confirmation! Official sweet treat! [Yuichi] fans are the happiest today!!"

"Oh my god, this is such a wonderful surprise! Congratulations, Yu-kun! This combination is perfect! I can't wait!"

"Waaaaah, I'm so excited I'm about to cry! Kurokawa-san is finally going to collaborate with Yu-kun on a major project! And it's a romance movie, I have no regrets in this life!"

Fans of the 【悠赤】CP were in a state of complete revelry, with social media being flooded with celebratory posts, analytical posts, and various fan-made materials, as if a grand carnival had begun ahead of schedule.

Compared to the noise and commotion online, the Hoshino Agency office was very quiet.

Akane Kurokawa looked at the two names side by side on her phone, a smile she couldn't hide on her lips.

She looked up at Genkawa Yu sitting opposite her, her eyes sparkling, "The thought of making this movie with Genkawa-kun makes me really...happy."

The girl's gaze lingered tenderly and intently on his face, filled with deep love and anticipation.

After a while, as if remembering something, Akane Kurokawa seemed to have made up her mind, leaned forward slightly, and her voice carried a hint of tension that was not easily detected.

“Um... Genkawa-kun.”

She paused, her cheeks flushing slightly.

"Since the movie we're going to act in is about love, shouldn't we be able to get closer to each other when we're together?"

"For example what?"

Genkawa Yu paused slightly in his hand holding the water glass, then turned to look at the girl's face. The familiar scene and the almost identical request made his thoughts suddenly freeze.

"Genkawa-kun, how about you call me by my name from now on... Akane, okay?"

"..."

Volume Two: Tokyo Love Story, Chapter Seven: Who can't make a love movie? (2-in-1 5k)

"Genkawa-kun, from now on you can call me by my name, Akane, okay?"

Akane Kurokawa mustered all her courage, raised her head, and fixed her gaze on Yu Minakawa, as if drawn by invisible threads.

This was an attack, a testament to the girl's inner feelings, and a reflection of her boundless aspirations for the future.

This request reminded Genkawa Yu of Sakurajima Mai. To be honest, once everyone's emotions and feelings are made clear, many things will develop to this point.

After all, we're not children anymore; the best way to convey our feelings is to speak them out.

Changing the way people address each other is a fairly obvious signal.

Genkawa Yu gazed into Kurokawa Akane's bright eyes and realized that he couldn't bring himself to refuse.

Unlike Mai Sakurajima, who is poised and radiant because her status and popularity in the entertainment industry allow her to make more decisive decisions, Akane Kurokawa still has a long way to go before becoming a famous actress.

Not to mention there was an even more important agreement standing between the two of them.

That's it.

Genkawa Yu thought for a moment, then sighed almost imperceptibly, and finally smiled gently.

He raised his eyes, his gaze refocusing on the other person's expectant face, as if he had simply agreed to an ordinary request.

"it is good."

After a while, Genkawa Yu called out her name.

"Red Sound".

The two simple syllables seem to have been enchanted, no longer the "Kurokawa" between friends, nor the polite "Kurokawa-san," but the intimate and direct "Akane," which belongs only to close friends.

This change in address seems to have opened a door to a more intimate realm.

The next moment, Akane Kurokawa's eyes widened instantly, her pupils reflecting Yu Minakawa's image, her heart filled with unbelievable joy.

Immediately, immense joy swept over all her senses like a warm tide.

She nodded vigorously, her voice trembling with emotion and a sob in her throat.

"Ok!"

Just after Genkawa Yu changed his way of addressing him, he suddenly noticed that the system in front of him had popped up a notification that his experience had increased.

Can I gain experience by simply changing how I address someone?
