Persona: Devil Summoner

Gao Juanxing couldn't see Fang Zexia, so naturally she didn't know what the two people were saying through their eyes.

"Is it okay?".

Jiang Tianwei was not sure what she wanted to do, and he did not dare to pat his chest and say that he and Fangze were very close, and that he would leave any problems to him! No matter what time it was, it was always good to leave some leeway for himself.

"That's great. Can you ask her to come over and give me some guidance?"

Gao Juanxing smiled apologetically, clasped her hands together, and asked Jiang Tianwei in an almost begging tone.

"guide?".

It is said that different trades are like different mountains. These two people, one is a cover model and the other is an artistic gymnast, why do you need others to guide you? Jiang Tianwei really couldn't understand.

Gao Juanxing explained to him while eating.

Here, I must mention something else first.

In Japan, there is a very unique type of TV series called special effects dramas. It is a very popular type of drama in Japan. The most well-known ones are probably the Ultraman series and various team series.

The most popular show in Japan recently is "New Xiangyuxia". Jiang Tianwei has never seen the specific story. For him, the only significance of special effects dramas is that they provide more memes to play with. Fortunately, he has no friends to play memes with, otherwise he would not be able to break them no matter how many crutches he has.

However, it is easy to imagine that the plot of this kind of drama is definitely a story of a righteous team of heroes fighting against evil, a hot-blooded and passionate battle, interspersed with a series of beautiful emotions such as friendship, warmth, family affection, etc. In short, it is a story with the theme that good cannot prevail over evil.

However, like all traditional art forms, due to the popularity of the Internet, the rise of self-media, and the popularity of short videos in recent years, people are watching fewer and fewer special effects dramas, and naturally, special effects dramas are becoming more and more difficult to survive. In order to seek a breakthrough, the first thing special effects dramas try is what people often call cross-border cooperation.

So, how to attract someone who has never watched a special effects drama to watch special effects? Of course, use celebrities! This is why the entertainment industry is paying more and more attention to celebrities.

However, the pay of big stars with their own traffic is terrifyingly high. Considering the shooting cycle of special effects dramas, if they really hire a traffic star, I'm afraid the entire crew will go bankrupt.

So, the crew came up with a good idea - since traffic stars are the answer to the version, and they don't have the money to hire traffic stars, then wouldn't it be enough to make their own leading actors popular and become new traffic stars? This is the so-called roundabout way to save the country! Instead of finding someone else, why not do it yourself? It's just like the "Celebrity Wars" during the heyday of video games.

So what is an essential quality for a traffic star? Of course, it is appearance!

Therefore, the first thing the crew did was to find Takamaki An's model agency to discuss cooperation. They planned to take a group of photos with the theme of "New Xiangyuxia" and hold a model show at the same time.

Why did the first collaboration have to be a model show? Mainly because the lead actress, Miss Yue Yujiali, is a model herself, so it would be easier to work with her. This is the same as when you are looking for a job, it is said that it is easier to get things done with acquaintances.

Since it is a model show with a special drama theme, the models are of course required to have some basic skills in gorgeous movements... This is Takamaki An's weakness."

"So! Please! Isn't Junior Sister Fangze practicing rhythmic gymnastics? Her moves are gorgeous and beautiful, right? Please, introduce her to me!"

Chapter 274 Do I have to tell you about my special effects dream?

Seeing Gao Juanxing eating happily, Jiang Tianwei also curiously reached out his fork to cut a bite of the cake, and found it soft and sweet. He praised the craftsmanship of this shop in his heart. Although Gao Juanxing was the one who placed the order and did not see the price on the menu, he guessed that the price was not cheap.

Moreover, facing Gao Juanxing's request, Jiang Tianwei had no need to refuse it both publicly and privately.

However, there was one point that was beyond Jiang Tianwei's expectations...

"So, you like special effects dramas very much?"

When Gao Juanxing described Xiang Yuxia just now, her tone revealed a kind of enthusiasm and joy from the bottom of her heart, which showed that she really liked this series. This made Jiang Tianwei a little surprised.

After all, most boys would think that fashionable women like Takamaki An should also like very fashionable things.

After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Tianwei suddenly noticed a problem: he really seemed to not understand women's hearts.

You see, before, Fang Zexia suddenly got angry with him, and he didn’t understand why she was angry at all. As a result, Mingzhi did something and she calmed down in the end... But Jiang Tianwei still didn’t understand women’s hearts.

(Or maybe I should just ask Takamaki An to teach me about women's hearts?)

The more Jiang Tianwei thought about it, the more it made sense. He was a stinky man who didn't understand women, and Gao Juanxing must understand them better than him!

Takamaki An had no idea that his mind was already fast-forwarding the scene of him becoming her apprentice. When she heard him asking about special effects, of course she continued the conversation on this topic.

"Did I not tell you? I really like the Sentai series!"

"Well, you didn't mention it. Do you like the captain's red? Or do you like the pink that is usually for female characters?"

Jiang Tianwei was talking about the characteristics of the Tokusatsu Sentai. Generally speaking, colors are used to give special meanings. To make an analogy, it is like the facial makeup of Peking Opera, where red face, blue face, white face, and black face each have corresponding meanings. Even if old opera fans are listening to a new opera they have never heard of, they can roughly guess the basic attributes of the character by looking at the color of the face.

"Me? Huh, what I like is black!"

Takamaki An imitated the so-called shadow masters who appeared frequently in various animations and snorted mysteriously - but this smile did not reveal any mysterious temperament, but instead seemed silly... This must be Jiang Tianwei's illusion.

To use a very impolite analogy, it's like seeing a husky acting fierce. If you ask if it feels very majestic, then it is indeed a bit majestic. But after a little thought, it always feels a bit weird.

"black?"

It's not that there is no black in the team. Generally speaking, in the five-color team, red is the captain, symbolizing enthusiasm. Blue is the think tank, calm and intelligent, yellow is cheerful and unrestrained, pink is feminine, and then you pick any color to make up the five colors. Black is usually the sixth person in the five-color team, responsible for "suddenly appearing to lend a hand when the team is in trouble, and then leaving coldly, leaving everyone shouting "Xiao Hei! Are you an enemy or a friend!"

"Hehe, that's right, my favorite character is the evil female cadre in it!"

As Gao Juanxing spoke, she straightened her pretty body, leaving behind a voluptuous curve.

"Why?".

This time it was Jiang Tianwei's turn to be confused: evil...female cadre?

"Hmm, don't you think it's very cool to be able to muster up the courage to fight again no matter how many times you've been defeated?"

"Now that you mention it, it does sound very cool...but, he's an evil cadre..."

Jiang Tianwei suddenly thought of a famous crosstalk by a fat black man who was famous even overseas: "The Titanic was a disaster for humans, but for the live lobsters on the ship, wasn't it a miracle of life?" It can be seen that many things will appear completely different because of different perspectives. Gao Juanxing likes the evil female cadre... This is really... unexpected.

"Besides, don't you think that those female cadres are all very beautiful?"

“I agree with this.”

The man and the woman were united only on this topic.

"Also, Senior Yue Yu is said to be coming to our office to shoot together this time! I'm a little excited just thinking about it!"

Takamaki An clasped her hands together, her eyes full of little stars, just like in a girls' comic.

Yue Yukari, this is the Yue Yu senior mentioned by Takamaki An.

The reason why she was called a senior was not because Gao Juanxing knew her. It was just like how there were so many people in China who called others "husband" and "wife" on the Internet every day, but in reality they had no intersection with each other.

According to the information released by the agency, Yue Yujiali is a model who joined the agency after graduating from high school. She has an outstanding temperament and a perfect figure. Modeling is probably one of the few professions in the world where you can choose actors based on their appearance without any psychological pressure.

It is said that gentlemen like fair ladies, but this is not quite true. In modern society, gentlemen are not the only ones who like fair ladies, but also other fair ladies. In particular, Yue Yujia is quite successful as a model. Compared with other models of the same generation, she can't be said to stand out from the crowd, but at least she can be distinguished at a glance.

Legend has it that she was in the Kyudo Club in high school. Because of her archery foundation and good athletic ability, Miss Yue Yu was spotted by the director at a young age and was cast in the role of Xiang Yu Fan, a freshman named Xiang Yu Xia, whose weapon is a bow and arrow.

Why did the first attempt of "New Xiang Yu Xia" to expand the audience was a model show? The main reason is that one of the leading actors is an active model.

This career path can be said to be smooth sailing. As a fellow model, Takamaki An of course admires her very much.

Some people may think that since Gao Juan is so beautiful, shouldn't she be a famous figure? I can only say that the current trend of involution is not immune to models... Times have changed. It's like the same job, but the difficulty is completely different if you do it ten years ago and now. For example, literary creation.

If Takamaki An puts all her effort into being a model, she might be able to overcome all obstacles and carve out a niche for herself.

But unfortunately, she is currently working part-time while studying, so even if the firm wants to promote her, it is powerless.

What's more... Oftentimes, people in the same industry are enemies. There is only a small piece of meat, and there are so many wolves. Most importantly, in this industry, meat is not distributed equally... If you want to eat meat? Then you have to grab it!

Now that Gao Juan Xing is working part-time and studying, she doesn't have the energy to work hard on her modeling performance, so of course other people will have some tricks up their sleeves. I have to squeeze you out so that I can take my place.

Obviously models always give people the feeling of little angels, but the reality is neither glorious nor beautiful... It's really sad.

"So, are you willing to introduce me to junior sister Fangze? Please, it's not easy to get the chance to perform with senior Yue Yu, I beg you!"

An Takamaki made a cute, coquettish sound... I don't know if it's because she has never done such a thing before, but this coquettish sound doesn't make people feel cute. It feels very artificial and stiff.

Jiang Tianwei sighed inwardly: (Compared to your physical ability, your biggest problem is your acting skills!).

But what does this have to do with me? I just need to do my best to support my friends!

Jiang Tianwei thought so and smiled brightly at her: "No problem, I believe Fangze will be happy to help you - when you become a big star in the future... no, when you become a big villain, you have to think of me!"

"Kouhehe, kouhehe, then you will be the pioneer in my conquest of the world!"

Gao Juan An also rarely showed her childishness and joked with him. The two smiled at each other, and then...

I started eating like crazy... After all, I ordered a table full of delicious food, it would be a waste if I didn't eat it! Especially since the ice cream in the huge milk tea bucket had already started to melt! I couldn't delay any longer!

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 275 Have you heard of killing the familiar?

Rhythmic gymnastics is also called new gymnastics in Japan. As the name suggests, it is definitely later than traditional gymnastics. The participants are usually cute girls, and the props they use include ribbons and hula hoops... They look very pretty when they dance.

The above is Jiang Tianwei’s complete understanding of rhythmic gymnastics.

It can be seen that this person doesn't care much about art or gymnastics on weekdays.

But since my junior, or my good friend, is going to participate in the competition, I should go and see her. This is also human nature. Especially such a cute junior like Yoshizawa Sumire.

What's more, there is still a commission from An Takamaki. Although the Phantom Thieves have split up, we are still good friends!

Just don't go find a bench to sit on and don't reminisce about "the opportunity was the big competition last summer..."

Yoshizawa Sumire is a serious special recruit, so when the competition day conflicts with the school day, she will definitely take priority over the competition. Especially, because of Kamoshida's surrender, the reputation of Shujin Academy has plummeted, and it is time to restore the reputation. The school even wants to carry Yoshizawa Sumire to the venue in a sedan chair.

In this regard, other students can't compare with her. There are many people in the school who want to watch Sumire Yoshizawa's competition. Basically, there are two types. One is for her face. It is said that there is no harm without comparison. On one side, you are facing a group of elderly teachers and studying boring courses, and on the other side, you are facing a young and beautiful girl wearing cool and tight clothes and playing with ribbons. In this comparison, it goes without saying which side is more popular, right?

The other kind was people who laughed at her. I don't know if it was because of her special admissions status or because she was too serious and didn't fit in with the others, but there were always some people in the school who looked down on Yoshizawa Sumire. Although it wasn't as serious as school bullying, it could indeed be called hostility.

However, these two types of people can only think about it. There is no need to ask for leave from school just to watch a game, and the school is unlikely to grant leave.

In fact, Jiang Tianwei didn’t think about it at the beginning, if Fang Zexia hadn’t cared about her sister, Jiang Tianwei might not even remember to watch Fang Zejin’s game now.

But history doesn't care about the process and reasons, it only looks at the results. No matter who reminded him, now that Jiang Tianwei thought of it, he must go.

Therefore, Jiang Tianwei happily called Mr. Kawakami, hoping that he could help him to ask for leave. Yes, he was the kind of student mentioned above, who preferred to go out and play rather than attend classes.

Teacher Kawakami is a teacher indeed. After a little thought, he understood what this kid was going to do. Thinking of the last time he was absent for half a day without reason, and Fangze looked eagerly at the door, Teacher Kawakami laughed in his heart: (Youth...) Then he readily approved his leave.

Obviously, Mr. Kawakami is not his class teacher but he was able to approve his leave. This shows how much trouble Jiang Tianwei is in the eyes of these teachers. Now that there is a teacher Kawakami willing to take over, they are really relieved.

This story fully tells us the importance of having someone above you.

Jiang Tianwei got up very early today on purpose. He no longer did his job of delivering newspapers early in the morning. Instead, he became a guinea pig for Wu Jianmiao.

Moreover, they are real guinea pigs.

The things that happened to Jiang Tianwei included but were not limited to: hair from all parts of his body was collected, sweat, saliva and urine were collected, skin samples were collected, and he was injected with drugs that he had never seen before...

This was also fortunately because Wu Jianmiao's clinic was burned down by a fire. Those high-tech instruments were very delicate and were destroyed immediately by the strong fire.

Although the insurance company has already started the compensation process, what Wu Jianmiao lacks is not money, but machines!

Otherwise, she would have to put a patch on Jiang Tianwei to measure the special existence in front of him that seemed to be both a human and a demon. Maybe in the future, Wu Jianmiao could be recorded in history textbooks as the first person to study the shadow ecology!

"Wu Jianmiao, what a terrible woman."

After finally escaping from home, Jiang Tianwei and Fang Zexia expressed such emotion together on the tram.

The train arrived at Shibuya Station very quickly. Basically, if you want to go somewhere, it is always a good idea to transfer at Shibuya Station first.

However, I have another mission in Shibuya.

"Huh? I didn't expect you to get it."

Fang Zexia praised Jiang Tianwei for once.

Because Jiang Tianwei was not in a hurry to change trains to watch Fang Zejin's game, but went to the flower shop in the underground street first. Although he didn't know what kind of gifts girls of this age liked to receive, it was always right to give flowers. Even if the girl didn't like flowers, he had an excuse to say: Look, that's how it's played in TV dramas! He passed the buck perfectly and beautifully.

As for why Jiang Tianwei thought of sending flowers...he was thinking: (Sumire Yoshizawa got a good ranking in the competition, sending flowers can be used as a celebration. Even if there is a mistake in the competition, it can also be used as consolation. It does not delay either!)

If Fang Zexia knew that this kid had such unromantic little calculations in his mind, she probably would not approve of it, but would kick him directly.

However, when I came to the flower shop, I encountered another problem...

(I don’t understand the language of flowers…)

Jiang Tianwei looked at the dazzling array of flowers in the flower shop and was really confused.

His knowledge of the language of flowers was limited to roses and carnations, but neither of these two was suitable to be given to Sumire Yoshizawa.

It can be seen from this that one only regrets not having read enough books when he needs them. Now Jiang Tianwei only regrets why he didn't borrow a book on the language of flowers from the library first to learn more.

"A guest is coming, you go and greet him."

The voice of a female clerk came from deep in the store. It was obvious that she was moving something. There was a sense of stalemate in her voice, and it was probably not very convenient, so she called other clerks.

Jiang Tianwei didn't mind whether the clerk was a male or female, but when he raised his head, he suddenly froze on the spot.

If I were to ask why...

"Ah?! Yes, it's you kid?!"
