But if she agreed, the fact that she lied to keep Ryouma Ezaki would be exposed.

What should I do?

"Wow! Akane-chan, don't do this, you are too cruel."

Even MEM啾, a member of the Akane party, couldn't stand Kurokawa Akane's attack.

But it must be said that although her move was cruel, it was indeed very effective.

Hoshino Ruby bit her lip, weighed the issue in her mind for a while, and finally spoke with difficulty.

"Okay, I agree."

"Then Jiang Qijun, please come with us first."

Kurokawa Akane said this and brought Esaki Ryoma to the film crew.

"Um, Mr. Photographer, I and Ezaki-kun and Ruby need to reshoot some scenes. Is it convenient for you now?"

“Of course, that’s our job.”

The photographer agreed immediately.

"Start now?"

"No, we plan to tell Ezaki-kun about the scenes we need to reshoot first, and let him decide which one to shoot first."

Kurokawa Akane said.

"I thought since I still have to tell the photographer about it, I might as well listen to it together."

As she said this, she turned and looked at Hoshino Ruby with some provocation in her eyes.

"Ruby, you probably think so too, right?"

Chapter 48 Kurokawa Akane's First Victory

Directly dragging the film crew into their fight was Kurokawa Akane's final killer move.

This move of hers pushed Hoshino Ruby, who was already on the edge of the cliff, into a dangerous situation where one foot was hanging in the air and she was about to fall.

If it was just in front of Ryoma Ezaki, and Ruby Hoshino was hesitant and unable to say anything, Ryoma Ezaki would be able to tolerate her and it wouldn't be so embarrassing.

But if it happened in front of everyone in the crew, Ruby Hoshino would definitely be embarrassed.

Ryoma Ezaki frowned slightly. Although he also wanted to take the opportunity to criticize Ruby Hoshino, Akane Kurokawa was a little too much.

But this also indirectly shows how determined she is.

Unable to stop Kurokawa Akane in time, Ryoma Esaki simply waited and saw how Ruby Hoshino would respond.

Anyway, it's Kurokawa Akane who's attracting hatred now, not him, so it won't have much impact on Ruby Hoshino's favorability towards him.

Seeing that Kurokawa Akane actually called the production team directly, Hoshino Ruby's face suddenly became even uglier.

At this time, the result of Kurokawa Akane's early efforts was highlighted. In the second half of the first week and the entire second week, she often went to the crew to seek advice and improve her performance in the show.

During this process, she not only learned a lot of skills, but also became familiar with the crew members. The veterans in the crew also admired Kurokawa Akane, a hardworking and motivated child.

Ruby Hoshino has been living under the protection of Ryoma Esaki since the beginning of the show. She is still not very clear about the shooting requirements of the show, even though the director has mentioned it several times.

She couldn't name any of the crew members. Coming to record the show every day was like clocking in and out of get off work. Anyway, everything was arranged by Ryoma Ezaki.

But now, having suddenly lost the protection of Ryoma Ezaki, Ruby Hoshino suddenly found herself in a situation where she was isolated and helpless.

At this moment, it can be said that almost everyone present stood on the side of Kurokawa Akane.

Ruby Hoshino felt the scene before her eyes begin to distort, and the sounds in her ears gradually faded away, until only her rapid heartbeat was left.

She took a deep breath, gritted her teeth, and walked towards Kurokawa Akane.

"That's right, teachers, please help us check it out."

She must not back down here.

Isn't it just a reshoot? Aren't there a lot of scenes in girls' comics that can be used in the show? At most, I can just pick a few from there.

"Then Ruby, let's take turns telling the cameraman what shots we want to reshoot."

Kurokawa Akane asked Hoshino Ruby.

"If you don't mind, I'll start first?"

"Well, yes."

Ruby Hoshino was more than happy to do so. She now needed time to turn the scenes she had temporarily picked out from the girls' comic into the shots she wanted to reshoot.

However, when Kurokawa Akane told her about the scenes she wanted to reshoot, Hoshino Ruby realized how naive her idea was.

The scenes proposed by Kurokawa Akane are not complicated, nor are they the beautiful and pure love scenes that Ruby Hoshino imagined would only appear in girls' comics.

Instead, these shots are practical and can connect the previous and the next, helping the audience understand her own inner world and the changes in the relationships with other members.

This kind of shot naturally received unanimous approval from the crew. After all, Kurokawa Akane was actually sharing part of their work.

This once again reflects the results of Kurokawa Akane's hard work in recent days in studying the program shooting process, content requirements and other aspects.

If you don't truly understand what the crew wants, it would be impossible to propose reshooting these highly functional shots.

When Kurokawa Akane finished explaining the first shot he wanted to reshoot, Hoshino Ruby already understood.

She was defeated, completely defeated.

During that period of time, due to Ryoma Esaki's personal favoritism, it can be said that Ruby Hoshino had almost never lost in her confrontations with Akane Kurokawa.

The difference is nothing more than a small win, a medium win or a big win.

This was the first time that Ruby Hoshino experienced such a complete defeat.

She didn't even see any hope of a comeback.

"Okay, Ruby, I'm done with my first scene, it's your turn."

Kurokawa Akane turned and looked at Hoshino Ruby.

Her expression was no different from usual, except that she looked more confident.

But at this moment, Ruby Hoshino's eyes were full of provocation and mockery.

But she did not run away. Instead, she walked towards Kurokawa Akane and the film crew.

Faced with a situation that could not be reversed, Ruby Hoshino still chose to struggle one last time.

This unwillingness to admit defeat is her last bit of stubbornness.

However, Ruby Hoshino had already admitted her failure in her heart. Under such circumstances, all the beautiful girl comic scenes that she had originally imagined in her mind were described by her in a mess.

After the crew took great pains to understand what effect she wanted to achieve, subtle expressions appeared on their faces.

This kind of shot is a standard for their show, and there's no need for Ruby Hoshino to mention it at all.

Not to mention, it's not even the stage of confirming their relationship yet. If they shoot too many scenes like this and they don't end up together, wouldn't that just be a lie for the audience?

It can be said that the lens proposed by Ruby Hoshino and Akane Kurokawa are two completely opposite types, full of vain fantasies.

Although the crew didn't say anything, Ruby Hoshino could tell from their expressions that she had performed very badly.

It was Kurokawa Akane's turn. The second shot she mentioned was similar to the first shot. Even in this shot, Esaki Ryoma had become a supporting role, mainly used to show how she made up her mind to start making changes.

As for Ruby Hoshino, her mind was still full of scenes of herself and Ryoma Esaki strolling on the beach under the starry sky, or staring into each other's eyes during the fireworks display.

He even forgot his original purpose of keeping a low profile throughout the entire show.

This time, Kurokawa Akane's shot was adopted again, and Hoshino Ruby's shot was naturally rejected.

In the third shot, Ruby Hoshino began to imitate the style of Akane Kurokawa's previous two shots and began to conceive a more functional shot.

But she didn't have any complicated mental journey in the past two episodes. She just stayed with Ryoma Esaki the whole time, and she didn't need any functional shots to help the audience understand her role.

Therefore, although the third shot was reluctantly adopted by the crew, they also made it clear that if it was found to be useless after post-shooting, it would most likely not be edited into the main film.

The successive blows completely broke the last string supporting Ruby Hoshino.

"Ruby, I've finished my story, it's your turn..."

After Kurokawa Akane finished explaining the fourth shot he was going to shoot, he turned around and greeted Hoshino Ruby, but his voice suddenly stopped.

Because she saw...

Hoshino Ruby, crying.

Chapter 49 Did you win?

Now it was Kurokawa Akane's turn to be at a loss.

She did release all the suppressed emotions today, so her counterattack was quite extreme, but she didn't expect that it would directly make Hoshino Ruby cry.

In Kurokawa Akane's opinion, it was only after her counterattack that she was truly on the same starting line as Hoshino Ruby.

The next two episodes will be the time to officially compete with her.

But what Kurokawa Akane didn't consider was that she had reversed the disadvantage of the past two weeks in one fell swoop today, and the impact she brought to Hoshino Ruby was far greater than she had ever experienced.

At the same time, what she didn't know was that, in Hoshino Ruby's view, her advantages were not acquired naturally or fought for by herself, but were obtained in exchange for a transaction with Ezaki Ryoma.

The nature of this advantage is completely different from that gained by Kurokawa Akane through his own efforts.

This difference, coupled with the sharp contrast between the two of them, dealt a severe blow to Ruby Hoshino's self-esteem.

"Ruby, I..."

Kurokawa Akane subconsciously stepped forward and wanted to apologize, but he didn't know how to start.

She has always been a good girl since she was young and has never made others cry.

This feeling of guilt made it impossible for her to muster up the courage to face Ruby Hoshino's tears.

"Xingye, what's wrong with you?"

The uncle from the film crew also came forward and asked Hoshino Ruby with concern.

"Eh? I...what's wrong with me?"

Hearing the uncle's question, Hoshino Ruby raised her eyes and found that her vision had become blurred for some reason.

She touched her eyes, feeling the wetness on her fingertips, and then she realized that she was actually crying.

"Eh? Oh, that's weird, why am I crying?"

Hoshino Ruby couldn't help but panic. She raised her hand and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her sleeve.

But no matter how hard she tried to wipe, her tears seemed to come out more and more, and she couldn't wipe them away.

And in her heart, the grievance, unwillingness, humiliation and all kinds of emotions could no longer be suppressed. They surged like a floodgate, drowning Ruby Hoshino's last bit of sanity.

"I'm sorry to bother you all. I want to go back and rest today. You don't need to reshoot the scenes I just mentioned. I'm really sorry..."

Ruby Hoshino spoke these words in a series as if speaking at high speed, and then ran out of the set without looking back.

"Hey! Hoshino! Wait a minute!"

The uncle from the film crew wanted to call out to Ruby Hoshino, but it seemed like she didn't hear him at all and she just kept walking.

Kurokawa Akane wanted to follow, but an arm suddenly appeared in front of her, stopping her.

"Don't worry, leave it to me."

Ryoma Esaki said this and gave Akane Kurokawa a reassuring smile.

"Don't feel guilty, you did a good job, it's not your fault."

After simply comforting the uneasy Kurokawa Akane, Ezaki Ryoma also chased in the direction where Hoshino Ruby left.

Although Ryosuke Ezaki's comfort made Kurokawa Akane feel a little relieved, when he saw his back following Ruby Hoshino away, Kurokawa Akane suddenly felt a huge sense of loss.

——Today...I think I won, right?

Kurokawa Akane clenched his hands and placed them on his chest.

But why this strong sense of frustration?

At this moment, Kurokawa Akane finally discovered a blind spot.

Even if I defeat Ruby Hoshino head-on, what's the point if I can't get the favor of Ryoshin Esaki?
