I'm here to form a band, what do you want to do!

Ito Rin explained, "Actually, it's like this. Soyo's band has developed quite well. She just told me that she's lonely without any rivals, so I thought of asking her to set her sights on Toyokawa-san's band...hiss, why are you pinching me!"

Nagasaki Suyo blushed.

Well, it’s not shyness, but anger.

Compared to the situation of competing with Xiangzi, Ito Rin's deliberate provocation made her so angry that she gritted her teeth.

"Don't listen to his nonsense. It doesn't exist."

Toyokawa Shoko tilted her head: "Do you really want to compare yourself with us?"

As expected of Teacher Daxiang, he could tell at a glance that she was lying.

"Not entirely." Ito Rin, who insisted on justice and truth, bravely spoke up despite Nagasaki Suyo's pressure: "Soyo thinks that with their strength, they don't necessarily have to regard you as competitors."

Toyokawa Shoko nodded slightly.

Her new band is really good, and although I encountered some minor troubles the last time I went to listen to their music, such as some unpleasant memories like "Spring Shadow", everyone's performance was online.

However, no matter how outstanding they were, they were still within the scope of a student band and were still inferior to the elite soldiers under her command.

"She wants to become the number one band in Tokyo, so that she can definitely surpass Toyokawa's band." Ito Rin spread out her hands and skillfully pulled the hatred for Nagasaki Suyo.

"Roar!!!"

Toyokawa Shoko was stunned, then smiled and stretched out her hand seriously.

"I agree. Let's compete with the future number one band in Tokyo."

ps

I recently bought Hogwarts Legacy. The game is pretty good, but there are too many Ni Ge. The background is obviously 19th century Britain, but the wizarding academy is so advanced that it recruits black people.

Volume 2: Chapter 28: Please support me from now on!

A streetside cafe, with a seat by the window.

There were sparsely occupied customers in the store, with patches of green plants placed in the corners. The receptionist at the front desk was chatting with the customers, and popular music was playing on the speakers.

Unfortunately, it is neither the ending band, nor mygo, nor the hen card that has not yet appeared.

The handsome boy drank coffee to hide his embarrassment with a tired look on his face. The pretty girl, who was pleasing in appearance, frowned in distress, as if she was helpless about the boy in front of her.

"How did you convince her?" Hong Xia still couldn't believe it.

"Well... it's all about appealing to his emotions and reasoning with him. Soyo is not an unreasonable person." Ito Rin said seriously.

Hongxia, who had never thought about what Nagasaki Suyo would agree to, was hesitant to speak, but when she thought that it was she who took the initiative to ask her to participate, she didn't say anything in the end.

……

"How do you feel? Do you want to keep going?" Ito Rin asked with concern.

They are just high school students, without the resources of famous directors, and the actors they can use are all friends, not to mention rich experience. According to common sense, the first video shooting should be put on the campus festival. Excluding the appearance of the lead actor Ito Rin, basically no one would pay attention to the campus video.

But now they have to try to imitate masterpieces and put the videos on the Internet for promotion.

No matter how you look at it, it seems like an impossible task, and most of the pressure is on Hong Xia, the director.

So Ito Rin felt it necessary to change her goal.

"Of course, this was my idea." She put away the book beside her, revealing a confident look.

You're only starting to learn how to be a director right before filming begins. Where do you get the confidence from?

"Let's go, Ryo should be here by now."

"it is good."

The two packed up their things and left the coffee shop, heading towards the electronics street.

"I didn't expect Aunt Yamada to support us so much. She even gave me money to buy equipment." Ito Rin sighed on the way.

Regarding the equipment, they originally planned to rent it, but they couldn't find a suitable store online, so they had already made preparations for the lack of equipment.

But Aunt Yamada took the initiative to pay to help them make up for it.

"You should thank me." Ijichi Hongxia glanced at him and said with a sigh.

"Hmm? After all, the people to be thanked are Yamada-san and her mother, so please don't take the credit."

"Could you please use your clever brain to think carefully, Ito? Would someone like Liang take the initiative to use the money given by his parents to help purchase equipment?" Hong Xia kept turning on the street while looking at the map on her phone.

"That's true. Could it be that you, Senior Sister, took action?"

"Of course. Otherwise we won't see a cent."

"...Thank you for your contribution, Ijichi-senpai."

Based on his understanding of Yamada Ryo, this matter was most likely true. After all, she was a bad woman who didn't even want to repay the money she owed.

There might even be some hidden amounts.

"Thanks to Hong Xia, we were able to keep Yamada-senpai in check."

"What are you doing standing back there? Come here quickly." Hong Xia put away her phone and pushed open the door of the electronics store.

"I'm coming!"

Ito Rin followed behind him and entered this seemingly inconspicuous store.

It looks ordinary from the outside, but it is quite large inside. It just looks messy, but after a little observation you can find that all the necessary filming equipment can be found in inconspicuous places.

"You two are so lazy!" Yamada Ryo, who arrived early for a rare occasion, was wearing a slim-fitting men's suit. Standing in front of the counter, he gave off a cool and unrestrained vibe. After waiting for a while, she scolded the two for being late, and when she found out that they didn't seem to care, she puffed up her cheeks.

It looks like a carp about to spray water at people.

"We're not late. We agreed to meet at 3 o'clock, but it's not even time yet." Ito Rin reminded her.

"..."

"Strange, are you too enthusiastic?" Hong Xia pinched her chin, thinking.

"..."

"It turns out I read the time wrong. Come here quickly, I have found the equipment suitable for us." Yamada Ryo pretended not to hear and walked in front to lead the way.

It’s tricky!

Most likely, Aunt Yamada gave her more money, and she planned to buy cheap equipment, so the saved money naturally went into her pocket.

Although she thought so in her heart, this was a blessing from heaven after all. The not-so-picky Ito Rin followed behind with great interest, flipping through the filming equipment and seemed very interested in all these things.

Among the things that boys like, photography should be one of the top ones. Haven’t you seen how many celebrities have fallen into disgrace because they couldn’t control their desire to take pictures?

Compared with him, Hong Xia, who had done some preparation in advance, was much more professional. She walked around in front of the counter which was taller than her body, muttering to herself.

"This is it." Yamada Ryo enthusiastically promoted the camera in his hand.

Counting the price in her mind, Hongxia rolled her eyes at the guilty Yamada Ryo, took a few steps forward, and picked up the upgraded version of the camera.

It has better performance, cooler appearance, and of course a more expensive price.

It is tens of thousands of yuan more expensive than the entry-level model in Yamada Ryo's hand.

"Woo..." Yamada Ryo let out a pitiful whimper.

This is all her money, hers!

As long as she can save money, it will all go into her little piggy bank, and then she will have enough money to buy the bass she likes!

"There are also supporting facilities. The money that Auntie gave us is almost all used up." Hong Xia said coldly.

"Hongxia~" Yamada Ryo put his hand on his chin and looked at her pitifully.

"Don't worry." She smiled warmly: "We will definitely be a great success. All the money we earn will be given to you. Is that okay with Ito?"

"No problem, Senior Sister has paid so much, this reward is very reasonable."

As she said this, seeing that Yamada Ryo was really moved, Ito Rin felt a surge of sympathy in her heart.

Although she is very smart, she is really easy to deceive. She doesn't even have a clue about her fate, but she actually believed Hong Xia's wish that he would give her some money.

Could it be that Hong Xia is actually very good at making big promises, and even Yamada Ryo can't refuse her?

"Can I really make money?" She still remained rational.

Hongxia glanced at Ito Rin. It was his turn to take action when it came to fooling people.

He smiled amiably, "Of course, Senior Sister. Making money online is the new trend right now. As long as our videos get enough views, we can make back the money we spend in a matter of minutes."

As long as the movie can make a profit, what he said is the truth, but how to achieve it specifically, ahem, let's put it aside for now.

If Ito Rin was shown in a cinema, he would really have confidence, but on the Internet, even he was not sure.

The former directly charges admission fees and makes money when the number of people reaches a certain level, while the latter relies on advertising recommended by algorithms to make profits. You should ask Boqijiang about this.

No, it seems that Pochi-chan doesn't know anything about it. Her parents are in charge of the account income.

"Well... this is the money my mother gave me. Take it all and buy equipment." She didn't take out a piggy bank from her pocket like Pochi-chan did, but a stack of big bills. It can be seen that Aunt Yamada is very generous.

"Huh?!" Ito Rin was very surprised and felt that this was not something a senior student would do.

It's beyond imagination that he paid the money honestly, how can he act as cute as Pochi-chan?

"cold?"

Yamada Ryo raised her eyebrows, and the familiar smile returned to her face. Facing the two people's confusion, she coughed lightly: "Oh, didn't you expect it?"

"Um?!"

“After the film is finished, who should get the equipment?”

"Of course it's you."

Things she bought with her own money should naturally be returned to the original owner after she has used them.

"That's it! I've got a chance to make money, and I've spent a lot of money on the equipment. Any further losses won't be too much. If I do some more and sell the unused equipment on the website, I could make a lot of money."

Looking at her smug look, Ito Rin thought of what she called an operation.

It's nothing more than pretending that the equipment has not been returned, and then selling it quietly.

Ito Rin did this kind of thing a lot when she was a child, so she could see through her thoughts at a glance.

But he just asked for a few more dollars when he was just there, but Senior Yamada would invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in a big project.

But there is a small flaw in this matter. After the band's completion, its image in Aunt Yamada's eyes will definitely be lowered.

"I will return the camera to you when the time comes." The experienced Hong Xia obviously saw the problem and said it directly.

"..."

Yamada Ryo looked at her aggrievedly.

At this moment, Hong Xia, with the authority of a captain, said in a tone that left no room for doubt: "It's decided. I guarantee that the movie will be profitable."

Ito Rin looked at her with admiration, wondering where she got the courage to make such a guarantee.

Yamada Ryo nodded reluctantly.

As expected of Hong Xia, she can be rendered speechless when she is bullied.

"In that case, I have one more condition."

"Go ahead." Hong Xia nodded.

"If we really make a profit and I can't get rid of the equipment, you can help me make a few movies!" Yamada Ryo revealed the evil face of a capitalist.

If you can really make money, just get them to be free actors for a few days, and they will definitely earn a lot of money.

Sister, do you think this is easy?

I still think I can definitely make money.

Ito Rin looked at Hongxia and let her make the decision.

Ijichi Hongxia said to her, "No problem, but you have to prepare the script."

"Well, that's fine too."

After paying the bill, Ito Rin, holding the equipment, felt much better when she saw Yamada Ryo's painful expression.

Facing the sunset at dusk, three boys and girls wearing Shimokitazawa High School uniforms walked on the streets of Shimokitazawa.
