Curse of the Eye of the Dead

Xinkai Chengshi's experience in finding the last young actor was quite twists and turns.

He is more or less obsessive-compulsive, which can be seen from his requirements for interviewing actors.

It's okay to choose an adult actor, after all, he has already built his own network in the entertainment industry at his level.With Xinkai Chengshi's reputation and level, it is not difficult to invite some outstanding professional actors to participate in the performance.

And even if a good professional actor's personality and temperament are completely opposite to those of the original characters, they can be completely reversed after "entering the play".Do "act like who you are", completely integrate yourself into the role, instead of letting the role accommodate him.

It’s like the No.1 in the entertainment industry today—the other party accepted a film some time ago, and “entered” in advance before the filming started, and acted with the character’s own dress and personality from beginning to end in the crew.The director also cooperated with him tacitly and did not inform the crew of the actor's identity, so Mr. No.1 was not recognized as his real identity until the end of the whole filming.

When the truth was announced, everyone who didn't know it was shocked.

That's what a professional actor can do with his acting skills when he's honed in... but not a kid.

Especially the newly opened director is looking for a child as young as five or six years old.

Children in this age group are too young, lack experience and lack acting skills, so they can't act in slightly more complicated scenes. Basically, they can only start with their own temperament and character.

If the script was about characters in modern society, it would be easier to say, just coax them to act according to their daily life... But it is not, the background of their script is a barbaric village in the Taisho era nearly a hundred years ago, and the atmosphere and habits are completely different.

Whether it's a famous child star or an amateur actor from the city or the countryside, the new director has almost interviewed dozens or even hundreds of them, and he is not satisfied with the selection, and feels that there is still a little essence missing.Thinking that filming will only start in October anyway, he still has time to continue struggling, so he refuses to make do with it.

Xinkai Chengshi had a headache so much that he read the original text over and over countless times.

Seeing that the start of filming in October is approaching, the filming crew and investors who have not yet decided on the last role are also in a hurry.

Xinkai Chengshi is also aware of his entanglement.

The description of A Qian in the script is too "perfect".

She is a good child who has almost no dark side since she was a child. She is loved but not arrogant, held in the palm of her hand but not lazy.

It is precisely because of this "perfection" that as long as a young actor accidentally expresses even a small emotion that is insignificant and inconsistent with the character's personality, it will be infinitely magnified and become an indelible defect.

But where can I find a child who can play the role of Ah Qian in his true colors?

To be honest, the new director himself felt that the difficulty was too great, and he had no choice but to make do with it if it didn't work out—at worst, adjust the picture through post-editing.

Fortunately, God still favored him.

Xinkai Chengshi, who met Akutagawa Gin outside, observed for a long time, and the more he watched, the more he felt that the other's every move, every frown and smile matched the young Aqian, which can be called tailor-made.Having troubled him for so long, he stepped forward excitedly, but because of his overly excited performance, hasty tone, and suspicious behavior of strongly trying to invite the other party to speak aside and not let him go... the boy's brother regarded him as a human trafficker or Perverted pedophile.

He was almost kicked away by that orange-haired kid named Nakahara Chuya, who was following Akutagawa Gin to protect her today.

Definitely will be kicked away!

That kick even cracked the concrete floor! !

With cold sweat all over his face, Xinkai Chengshi, who didn't know that the Central Plains had already shown mercy, had a pupil earthquake. It was the first time he saw a person with supernatural powers that he thought was an "urban legend". He was frightened and stiffened by the scene beyond his comprehension.

He turned his head with a click, and it was very difficult to regain his senses, relying on his perseverance to explain clearly, talking about Akutagawa Silver to the heart.

Akutagawa Ginta wants to make money and lighten the burden on the two older brothers who take care of her.

So she gently tugged the brother Zhongye who was protecting her tightly and staring at the newly opened director with blue eyes vigilantly, smoothed things over, and then looked forward to it.

Yin said, "Brother Zhongye, I want to try."

(Self-proclaimed) Nine-year-old Nakahara Chuya suddenly lost his mind.

Shortly after.

The new director, Zhanwu scum, was taken to the slums by these two children, and went to meet the person who was said to be able to make decisions.

Director Xinkai looked at this "person who can make decisions" silently.

Akutagawa Ryunosuke, who was not much older, was wearing a baggy shirt, with dark eyes, and looked at each other expressionlessly.

Central Plains Zhongye is in a special situation, and his common sense is not even as good as that of a five-year-old Yin.

He didn't know much about filming, but Yin wanted to go...so they brought this so-called director to Ryunosuke Akutagawa.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa can barely be regarded as one of the family who is more sophisticated and good at reading people.

This is an ability that was forced to improve by the other two ignorant family members.

Ryunosuke pulled Chuya and Gin behind him, and calmly communicated with Director Xinkai.

In the end, Ryunosuke reluctantly agreed under Yin's expectation, but only if the other party fulfilled their request.

——I don’t need to go to an orphanage, and I don’t need to adopt. In addition, when Yin is filming, they have to follow him to watch.

Few people would be willing to adopt three children at once, and these three children should not be supervised by strange adults who are arranged.In this family, they only need each other.

The new director was stumped.

No matter how you look at it, these children have no capacity for civil conduct, and their signatures have no legal effect. The participation in the performance must be decided by their legal representatives.

Without a guardian, the contract cannot be signed.

Akutagawa's silver role is not too many, and it does not belong to the category of ensemble performances. In addition, he is a minor, so he must go through legal procedures, otherwise if he is reported by a competitor, he will be in trouble.What's more, this kid's temperament is really good. If Xiao Aqian is played alive, it may attract the attention of many people.

No identity and no contract is a risk after all.

But the other party doesn't want to adopt if he doesn't go to the orphanage, and even because he was born in a slum or an orphan, he can't give the actual identity certificate... What's wrong with this?

.

Editor Ping Song was also stumped.

He is a genuine Yokohama native and knows the local situation in Yokohama.

To be honest, he never expected that the new director would take a fancy to a kid from the slums.

It's not that he deliberately slandered, it's just that the Yokohama slums are located near the concession, which is one of the most chaotic areas in the whole city with the most underworld organizations.

The slum kids who come out of that kind of place, especially the orphans -- most of them are not simple.According to reports, people die there almost every day, and there are quite a few orphans who have committed crimes and killed people at a young age, and many of them will become members of underworld organizations when they grow up.

The safety index is extremely low.

If you have to hire someone, the editor of Pinsong certainly thinks that it is better to sign the contract if you can.

It's just Aqian who looks like Ji Jun in the teacher's article, and the children in the slums?

...is it really all right?

Trying to convince myself to believe in the new director's vision, Hiramatsu and Hiro also became troubled after recovering, not knowing how to deal with it better.

"Isn't it okay to force them to find an orphanage? Compared with the slums, shouldn't the living conditions of the orphanage with food and housing be better?"

[...I'm afraid you won't believe me if I say it. ]

"what?"

[Do you know the urban legend about that superhuman? ]

"I know." This legend is spread all over the country, but it is especially prevalent in Yokohama.

[The two elder brothers of the girl I fancy are both superhuman... I'm not kidding!it is true! ]

Hiramatsu and Hiroshi who had seen the youkai-sama fell silent.

"They threatened you?"

[Silent threat... huh?The child with black hair and white temples had really fierce eyes, I almost thought I was being targeted by wild animals. ]

Editor Pinsong suddenly felt a headache.

"Why are you looking for me for this matter? It's useless to look for me. Shouldn't you contact your employer?"

[The company disagrees with me looking for that child, saying that the child from the slums in Yokohama has unclean hands, maybe... well, it’s not a good word, it probably means that Yin has done bad things in the past, and the employer is afraid that if someone picks it up influence film distribution. ]

[But the child is only five years old, and they have never seen her before, so how can they determine her personality just because of her birth?Really...forget it, I won't describe it in detail, in short, they said that there is no need to take this risk, and strongly demanded that I be replaced...]

"So what do you want me to do?"

[I don’t want to be replaced, so I’m going to send you the audition video of that kid Yin, and you can forward it to Mr. Kakuo for me. I want to know Mr. Kakuo’s opinion... I don’t think there is any actor who is more suitable for Xiao Aqian than Yin that's it. ]

Director Xinkai answered neatly on the phone: [My employer really wants to make money, but he also likes this story from the bottom of his heart and respects Mr. Kakuo, so I think, if there is a letter of recommendation from Mr. Kakuo, maybe The company is willing to nod... The company should be able to help deal with this problem. ]

.

The children went to school, and Mana Ling, who was doing hygiene, suddenly received a message from Mr. Editor.

He read the cause and effect with confusion, and then suddenly realized.

Uno can actually write a letter of recommendation directly.

Mr. Old Antique Mantra didn't think much about it. He already knew about the achievements of that new director. He is undoubtedly a professional in this field. Since the other party thinks that the kid named "Silver" is fine, then he can do me a favor. nothing.

What's more, this role is not only a job for the child from the slums, but also an opportunity to change his life.

Everyone needs a chance.

So Uno went back to his room without hesitation, and managed to find a brand new letter paper in the desk drawer full of sketches.

But since the video had already been sent, it didn't matter if he watched it again.

So Uno pressed the download button and waited while writing.After he finished writing, the video loaded.

Subsequently.

Mr. Manu Ling couldn't help but blinked. After more than 50 years, he seemed to see the original "Aqian" again in a daze.

He no longer remembers the appearance of the girl who only had a few faces in a hurry, and the most profound memory is only the other party's unique temperament and mirror-like eyes.

And the girl in the video, apart from being too young... both her temperament and eyes are very similar to the bride-to-be who finally collapsed.

Is it called Akutagawa Silver?

In this world, there are people with such similar temperaments.

The taping did not end immediately after the audition was completed.

The video continues.

After the performance, the girl waited nervously for the verdict, and only after getting the director's approval did she run to the two elder brothers with a smile on her face.

Those two boys are the superhumans mentioned by Editor Pinsong?

Uno lowered his eyes and looked at the scene of the three children nestling together, paying special attention to the expressions of the two boys with supernatural powers.

Then he turned off the computer.

.

this afternoon.

Uo sent two letters.

One is a rewritten recommendation letter, and the other is for a new director.

Of course, it is still sent to the editor of Pinsong, and the editor of Pinsong will post it on behalf of him.

There are two pieces of paper mixed in the letter from the newly opened director.

One of them was for Akutagawa Gin's family—it was sealed with tape.

Ryunosuke Akutagawa, the only one among the three who had been literate with his deceased biological mother and could barely read the text, took it apart hesitantly.He didn't seem to understand why the popular writer was writing to them.

The content is very short, only a few lines of words.

[If you don’t want to rely on other people, you can consider contacting this gentleman.As long as you give money, he will help you solve your problems. ]

The above is the contact number of an excellent black market intermediary recommended by Tsurumi Toranojiro to Uo.

The other party happened to be the one who forged new identities for the Kitazawa family, including Megumin and Tsumiki.

Director Xinkai said: "Mr. Jiaowei paid Xiaoyin's salary in advance, please ask me to hand over the cash to you... Said you can use it? What did the teacher write to you? Did you praise Xiaoyin?"

The three children from the slums only looked at each other.

They all shook their heads and refused to answer.

after that.

They successfully contacted the black market intermediary.

Ryunosuke thought about it, and decided to spend money to let the other party fabricate a non-existent guardian, and write the names of the three below.

As for the guardian's signature——

It was forged by Akutagawa Ryunosuke after practicing hundreds of times with a pen.

This signature will also be on the contract where Eun Mirae will star.

.

Mr. Curse Ling, who had paid the wages of the unknown children in advance, squatted in the courtyard, using his hands, feet and tail together, skillfully trimming the flowers, leaves and weeds on the ground in the yard.

Some flowers that were about to wither were plucked and carefully woven into beautiful wreaths by the curse spirit—for Chacha and Tsumiji.

Uno didn't seem to care about the follow-up after the letter was sent.

So why help...?

Because it's just a little effort.

This kind of easy work does not need to be thought about by Uno at all, he just did it for granted.

The black-skinned and white-haired curse spirit who always classifies himself as [heterogeneous] never admits that his essence is still the same as before and has never changed.

Uo has made a lot of money recently.

The continuous reprinting of published books has brought him a steady stream of income, and the money for film and television copyrights has already arrived. Now Uo can even be said to be a wealthy man with a small deposit.

It would not be difficult for this well-to-do Uso to directly help the three slum kids get new identities, but he didn't do it.

Because for children born in slums, with high self-esteem and vigilance, things that can be simply written off with money must be the most acceptable to them.

[Don't go to orphanage, don't need to adopt]

The three children have already prepared their hearts, and the bond between them can be revealed even through the video.

And judging from the relatively neat clothes and not bad complexions, the three children from the slums also proved their ability to survive.

So, this level of help is just right.

The author has something to say:

To Chuya Kasumi and the others, Uo should be regarded as a future teacher~
