I Am a Light Novel Master in Japan Chapter 249

"It looks like this is it. It feels very high-end. The film and television company is really wealthy. Is it really just to find candidates for the movie?" Li Yan looked around at this historic building and thought to himself silently.

As a result, before entering the door, Li Yan took out the necessary sunglasses, duck-bill hat, and mask from his backpack to hide his face. After asking and registering at the front desk, Li Yan began to walk towards the elevator. Ghost Look around furtively to see if there are any suspicious characters.

After all, the last incident of being mobbed by book fans in a bookstore is still fresh in his mind. Li Yan, who has personally experienced the burning fury of readers, does not dare to take it lightly. Who knows how well the staff of Dongyang Film and Television are doing in keeping secrets? If they are If it reaches his readers, why not start a desperate battle with him here...

"Huh?" Suddenly, a girl's confused voice came from behind Li Yan.

Li Yan looked back alertly and found that a student wearing a black uniform and a gray skirt was coming behind him. The tie was not tightened on his tall chest and looked a little unruly. He was about fifteen or sixteen years old. A high school girl, wearing sunglasses and a duck-bill hat like him, but not as exaggerated as him and wearing a mask. You can still see that the girl's face is delicate and beautiful, and her black hair falls on her shoulders. Exudes a mature and unapproachable temperament.

"Oh, I always think it's a bit weird for us to be standing together in similar outfits..." Li Yan withdrew his gaze, but thought to himself in a depressed tone, and secretly looked at the other person.

[Beep beep beep...]

Suddenly, in Li Yan's consciousness, the editing system once again issued a prompt, making Li Yan realize that the other person seemed to be a character from the world of novels or works.

Speaking of which, his editing system has become a little strange recently. It seems that even the basic function of judging the grade of the novel has problems. It no longer displays the basic information of the characters in the world of the work. Instead, once it is started, it will display [Loading New [Function...] prompt, I didn’t expect that the system he carried after rebirth would even have an upgrade function.

He has been looking forward to the powerful capabilities of the new function. It would be great if he could exert some such strong combat power when he is in trouble...

Just when Li Yan was thinking wildly, he found that the girl standing not far away had the same thoughts as him and was looking at him with some concern.

The time waiting for the elevator began to seem a bit long. Li Yan and the girl waited anxiously for the elevator in a somewhat awkward atmosphere, but the elevator stopped at one level and had no intention of coming down yet.

"...Good morning, sir, are you also going to attend the banquet of Dongyang Film and Television on the fifth floor?"

This girl had been sizing her up for a long time, and she always felt that sizing up others like this would cause misunderstandings, so she started to ask questions generously.

Li Yan hadn't realized yet that the female high school student opposite him was already working hard in the Japanese entertainment industry. She dressed up like this to avoid paparazzi and fans. , his actions after coming in were very vigilant just like Li Yan. After all, Japan had a bad incident some time ago in which fans attacked idols with knives. No one knew what kind of scary characters would be among the fans.

As for Li Yan's temperament, attire, and sneaky appearance, he appeared at the banquet venue of Dongyang Film and Television. If he wasn't an innocent idol, who could he be?

"Uh...that's right, classmate, are you too?"

Li Yan was slightly stunned and asked.

"Yes, but it seems that the time is already late. My family lives far away. As expected, sir, you are also a debut artist." The girl said with a generous smile.

Only then did Li Yan realize that this girl was already a debut idol in Tokyo, Japan.

He rarely pays attention to Japanese idols, especially idols who debuted in high school, and he is full of disgust for the hyped news about beautiful girl idols who meet once in thousands of years. However, this one in front of him has somewhat refreshed his views. It seems that Her personality is quite reliable. In terms of evaluation, she is a type of idol that only happens once in thousands of years. After all, the concept of idol in the entertainment industry has only been around for less than a hundred years. She is indeed a rare beautiful girl.

The other party seemed to have mistakenly thought that he was also a fellow traveler, so he explained: "No...that's right, we are indeed a fellow traveler. Please give me some advice."

His smile was full of a sense of disobedience. Just when he was about to tell the truth that he was not an idol, but a writer, he suddenly realized that there was no need to take this risk. It would be safer to just go along with the other person's wishes.

"You are older than me, so I should call you senior. My name is Shibuya. I am a signed artist of Banna-Shine Company. I am fifteen years old and have just debuted for three months. Please give me your advice."

This girl named Shibuya still followed the industry tradition and bowed politely to Li Yan.

Next, it was his turn to introduce himself. The so-called lying is a lie that requires constant lies to make up for the shortcomings. It is almost like a snowball getting bigger and bigger. The first is the name. Li Yan anxiously thought about a pseudonym. The people who kept flashing in his mind were Japanese names such as Sawamura Eri, Kasumigaoka Shiu, Izumi Masamune, Shiina Mashiro, etc. In the end, after a few seconds of fumbling, he immediately answered with a smile: "I also just debuted recently. That's all, my name is Sawazuki Izumi, I'm eighteen years old, and I'm still in college. Because the contract company has a confidentiality agreement, I can't reveal it to you for the time being. I'm a little embarrassed, but I'm also a newcomer with little popularity."

"That's it. Then, when you came over to attend the banquet, senior, were you asked about your movie role?" Shibuya didn't care. It seemed that he had no intention of getting to know the other party deeply. He just chatted politely and asked a little. For a moment.

"...Yes, I was invited to play a small role. After all, I have no qualifications. Which role was Ms. Shibuya invited to play?" Li Yan started to have trouble speaking and hurriedly changed the topic and asked. .

"A character named Xinheng Ningning." The girl said directly.

"Hey, Xinheng..."

Li Yan's fake smile suddenly came to his senses and he looked at the girl in surprise.

He didn't have time to read all the information Kagurazaka Iris sent him. Although he knew that most of the important roles were vying for by many popular idol newcomers, he took a quick look and found that they were all unknown artists, so he didn't go into details. As a result, the girl in front of me may actually play the role of Xin Heng Ningning.

"Senior, what's wrong?"

"Xinheng Ningning", no, Shibuya looked at Li Yan, saw his reaction, and asked curiously.

"No, I was just a little shocked. Xinheng Ningning is one of the most popular characters in "Super Academy War". I heard that he made it to the top three in the cute battle competition last year, but unfortunately lost to the love series. For a female role, you were selected as one of the heroines by Dongyang Film and Television, and it seems that they have high expectations for you."

Li Yan said with a smile.

"Really... But I don't have the habit of watching anime, especially the hot-blooded anime, so I don't know what the content of that anime is. Well, I watched it a little while at work, and it turned out to be right. The content is not interesting, it is probably a work written by a gamer."

Shibuya looked embarrassed, smiled bitterly and told Li Yan the truth directly.

"Uh..." Li Yan suddenly felt a pain in his heart, covering his chest and looking at Shibuya.

"Although I heard that it is very popular, can a movie made from such a work really sell, and where is the confidence of investors... I have been thinking about this issue."

Shibuya said with a smile while thinking.

"Ahhh..." Li Yan's face turned green as he stared blankly at the girl who was mercilessly pushing his heart.

"Anyway, I probably came here with the attitude of giving it a try. It doesn't matter even if I am not elected. If I am really lucky enough to be elected, let's talk about it." Shibuya looked at the elevator floor prompts and finally said casually said.

"..."

Li Yan leaned against the wall weakly, staring at the woman who had just inserted three knives into his heart with a complicated expression.

I always feel that an actor who doesn’t love his works at all and is still a troll, how can he completely play the role of Xin Heng Ning Ning that he wrote? The so-called three-dimensional is such reality and irony, and he really feels that it is right The live-action version of anime is just a cosplay game that nakedly tortures the creator's popular works...

But I don't know why, after this contact, when he calmed down, he suddenly felt that Shibuya's words were just the truth in her heart. There were really not many people in the entertainment industry who were willing to tell the truth. Through his sunglasses, he carefully looked at the girl who had not been contaminated by the entertainment industry. Whether it was temperament or personality, some of the hidden attributes were surprisingly consistent with the new Heng Ning Ning. It needs to be polished and packaged, and it will probably be quite good. Close to the image of "the president" in his mind.

"Well, Shibuya-san, I actually know the author of this novel... the fat otaku author." Li Yan thought for a while, showed a bitter smile, and said to Shibuya.

"Do you know me, senior?" Shibuya looked at him in surprise and asked.

"Yes, it's just a chance encounter. Although you may be right, such works are very popular, but they are probably just two-dimensional fantasy works, but I can still understand the author's investment in this No matter how hard you work, so-called cartoonists, oil painters, novelists, and even entertainers are all considered creators. To create works of art that cannot be eaten or used but can only be viewed, others need to be aware of their values. Value of the same level only arises after recognition. I think he must have put a lot of thought and effort into creating works of such value. We often call such people [dream chasers].”

Li Yan explained.

"..." Shibuya watched quietly as this senior Sawanooka Izumi, whose expression suddenly became serious and spoke some profound truths, should be said that his aura was completely different from a second ago, which made her uncomfortable. Listen to the other person’s experience without taking it seriously.

"Human values ​​​​have different forms, so judgments are also the same. This is the right of readers, but it is not the right of artists. Anyone in the industry should not easily deny a work that has been created with hard work. At least the creators must cooperate with each other. Only with respect can you see more valuable things. Since you have entered the field of creators, you need to give a sufficient explanation to most of your fans. If you are really selected, you must also be a qualified [ Dream Chaser], try your best to restore the role you want to play. Now that you are here, you should have a correct attitude towards the highly professional entertainment industry of movies. If...just in case, When you really have to play that role, you are responsible for the author, the readers who like that work, and the industry you choose. Shibuya, that person walked through it with this attitude. Yes, do you have the determination to shoulder the hardships behind creation just like him?"

Li Yan took out his mobile phone and carefully looked at the information of the three candidate idols of Xinheng Ningning, then raised his head and asked seriously.

"...Well, I understand, you are right to say that, senior." After Shibuya listened to Li Yan's words, the arrogant and beautiful face seemed to be a little bit impressed after thinking about it carefully. Xinghe resonated, showed a smile, nodded and said.

"My word, as long as it is decided, it will be done well, so please don't worry." Shibuya expressed himself confidently and said.

"...That's good. Sure enough, you will definitely grow into a very popular idol in the future."

Li Yan's worried mood began to dissipate and he said. For the time being, he kept this girl named Shibuya in his heart.

The long-awaited elevator finally started to come down. At this moment, Shibuya saw the vending machine next to her. After what she said just now, she always felt that the personality and conduct of this artist were quite compatible with hers. She always felt that according to her own He needed to express his personality, so he said to Li Yan beside him: "Wait a moment, I want to buy something. Senior, can you press the elevator button for me?"

"Huh? Oh, sure."
