The Phantom Thief of Heart! But Conan

"Movie heroine, what, me, me!"

Pointing at herself in surprise, Mao Lilan said in disbelief.

Regarding the fact that she has always been very lucky in lotteries, it would not be wrong to say that she was not aware of it at all, but it seemed that it was because these prizes took up too much luck. Other than that, she had never been particularly lucky.

Will any random luck really happen to me? She wasn't sure.

"Yes, Miss, you are very suitable for this role!" Shiro Kawabata, who invited a few people over for dinner, spared no effort in recommending, "With your participation, this movie will definitely be a hit, and you will become a star... …Of course, the premise is that you agree to our invitation.”

As he spoke, he began to add excited body movements in an attempt to increase the persuasiveness of his words.

"Being an artist is hard work, but it's a good way out, and even if you don't become famous because of this movie, you can still get to know many celebrities. Our movie even has guest appearances by professional baseball players, football players and F1 racing drivers. Besides, just when you’re filming a movie, you can travel to the United States, the United Kingdom, Italy, etc…”

Shiro Kawabata's face turned red and he was frothing at the mouth as he spoke. His vision of the future was so contagious that even without the aid of additional information, Karasawa could recognize his profession at a glance.

——He must be a producer, an old capitalist, and has a good way of painting cakes.

In fact, if you think about it on your knees, you can understand that even if you can really join the crew, this kind of treatment is unlikely to fall on a pure newcomer.

With this kind of money, wouldn't it be a good idea for him to trick a few more stars into making guest appearances? How wasteful would it really be to use it to make movies?

"It sounds very good, Xiaolan." Mouri Kogoro, who had a little exposure to the entertainment industry because he participated in some TV programs, was a little excited. "It would be good to try it."

"Yes, Sister Xiaolan, it feels great to be a part of a big-budget movie without being a star!" Noticing Mao Lilan's wavering look, Conan also encouraged her.

Although his mother had already passed away when he was born, he actually didn't know much about the working conditions of actors. But if Xiaolan had this opportunity and wanted to give it a try, he could ask his mother to take care of her without worrying about what would happen to her. The ostracism that newcomers may experience.

"Really?" Mao Lilan rubbed his hands, pursed his lips and hesitated.

"But, little girl, if you are determined to act, you must be mentally prepared." Picking up the hot tea on the table, assistant director Ito Kiden said, half jokingly, half seriously, "Do it. As an actor, you have to cooperate with the crew's arrangements, but there will be some 'sacrifice' involved."

"For example, some producers who don't know how to describe it, in order to make money, will even violate the spirit of the original work and add meaningless love scenes in the script..." Togo Kitapu looks a bit mean and arrogant. , he didn’t disappoint when he opened his mouth, it was a mockery.

The bearded director Iso Kaizo kept his head down, twirling the cyan porcelain cup on the table, and did not give any reaction to Kawabata Shiro's passionate speech. It was not until he heard this sentence that he let out a sneer.

"Mr. Kitura, you're not talking about me, right?" Shiro Kawabata glanced at the surprised guests, endured it, and gritted his teeth.

As a producer who coordinates the progress of the entire crew, he certainly has a business operation method that is very capable of defrauding investors.

Creating public opinion, adding love plots, and appropriately cooperating with the scandal operations of some male and female protagonists, it sounds like a chain with great commercial prospects. Coupled with the already topical previous work, this is a business that is sure to make money without losing money.

This bunch of directors and screenwriters are here to talk to them about the soul of creation and the spirit of the original work. It’s really funny. They are a bunch of people who make commercial films, and they are so fake.

If he hadn't been worried about the fact that there were strangers at the table, there would be rumors that the main creators were at odds with each other during this period, which would be detrimental to investment, and he wouldn't even bother to deal with these guys.

"Who knows." Beipu Togo shook his head and turned away with disdain, "Anyway, it was not my idea as the original author."

"The love plot..." Mouri Kogoro, who was very tempted just now, hesitated, "In this case, I might as well forget it."

He is not the kind of father who lets his daughter have close contact with strange men on the big screen after hearing that he can make money, and Xiaolan is not that type of child either.

"Well, that's true..." Mao Lilan tilted her head and flinched a little, "I, I'm still in high school."

"If you're going to back down when you hear there's a love story, why don't you reject it as soon as possible." Iso Kaizo pushed up his glasses and poured cold water on him, "Movies are not that easy. The crew is like a huge machine. Once Once the operation starts, you can’t stop it just as you want. Moreover, if you are unlucky, you may get injured or even die during the filming..."

"Hey, hey, don't scare people. This is a new star who is about to enter the entertainment industry!" Kawabata Shiro waved his hands to prevent this group of people from continuing to cause trouble.

"I, I really haven't thought about it yet..." Mao Lilan waved her hands hurriedly, and now she was really retreating.

Although I have heard rumors that things in the entertainment industry are complicated, boys and girls will inevitably have fantasies when looking at the glamorous artist idols on the screen, and she is no exception.

However, just looking at these four middle-aged people, she felt that these creatives were not easy to get along with.

Sure enough, the entertainment industry is not that easy to get into...

While waving her hand, she accidentally knocked down the waiter's filled teacup, and the hot tea spilled onto Kawabata Shiro's legs.

"It's so hot!" Shiro Kawabata covered his crotch, his face instantly distorted.

"Ah, I'm sorry, are you okay?" Mao Lilan looked at the wet spot on his jeans, hesitated for a moment, gave up the idea of ​​picking up the napkin on the table to wipe him, and turned his head to pick up the teacup that fell on the floor.

Forget it, this cup looks well made. I'm afraid I'll have to pay a lot of money if it breaks. I'd better pick this one up.

"hiss--"

Seeing Shiro Kawabata's actions, everyone else at the table couldn't help but distort their expressions for a moment, reflexively tightened their legs, and glanced at the steaming tea with lingering fear, not daring to speak.

If you pour 70 or 80 degree tea in a place like that...

"No, it's okay..." Kawabata Shiro's face was deformed, but he still reluctantly raised his hand and waved it firmly, "I-I'm going to the bathroom, just wipe it off..."

He held on to the back of the chair, stood up strongly, and walked unsteadily toward the bathroom.

Iso Kaizo glanced at the direction he walked and frowned.

The bathroom here does not have only one cubicle, and Kawabata Shiro may not just find his things.

But if you are unlucky, it's hard to say...

"I want to go to the bathroom too." Pushing the chair away and standing up, Iso Kaizo made a gesture to wipe his sleeves which had been splashed with tea, "Everyone should order first, you're welcome."

He has no interest in Chinese food or anything like that. After all, it was Kawabata Shiro's idea to come to such an expensive place to eat that he might not be used to.

This kind of bastard who can ignore everything and have no lower limits for money and "ostentation" will always be the one who lives a better life. This circle is so philistine.

How can we expect these old guys who smell like copper to produce any shocking works of art?

Even he is the same, just some stinking habit of claiming to be aloof...

With a subtle sarcasm and sadness on his face, he walked in the direction of Kawabata Shiro.

"...There's something weird about this director." Looking at his back and the expressions on the faces of the other two crew members at the table, Conan touched his neck and felt something strange that he couldn't describe.

According to what was just said, their film has a predecessor with a good reputation. In other words, this group of people is not considered a start-up team working together for the first time.

But if their differences are so big that outsiders can easily detect them, then how on earth did they mobilize the lineup for the second part...

Moreover, according to the producer, this movie uses the heroine as the main perspective of the plot, so when I introduce the movie, I will have the statement "the female protagonist is the soul of this movie" mixed in. What about the female lead in the first film?

Since she is the soul character, why not just find the heroine from the first film?

have some problem……

"I want to go to the bathroom too!" Thinking like this, Conan jumped off the chair and ran towards the backs of the two people.

Without Shiro Kawabata's chattering, Mao Lilan, who was not good at rejecting people, patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

The other party kept complimenting her so much and spoke so politely. She really couldn't bear to say that she had no intention. Now she calmed down and felt much better.

Her eyes shifted between Tang Ze and her father. She hesitated for a moment, then stood up, sat down in Conan's seat, and asked Tang Ze in a low voice: "Tang Ze, what do you think? About, um, acting in a movie. This kind of thing..."

Speaking of the four people who were traveling together, she personally felt that Tang Ze's opinions were the most informative and the most mature and clear in thinking.

As for dad, if the main creator had offered particularly attractive conditions, it’s hard to say whether his ideas would be so accurate.

"Acting in movies is actually a good route, but Mr. Lan, you need a strong agent with certain skills to be suitable for trying this kind of career."

Tangze glanced at Mao Lilan's expression and easily sensed the other party's hesitation. He skipped the current invitation as soon as he opened his mouth and directly evaluated the career plan itself.

"You have a very good personality, very friendly, and get along with everyone. With a personality like yours, you will suffer in an industry that is mainly driven by profit. A brokerage company that is strong and respects you enough will treat you very well." It’s a hard condition.”

"Is that so?" Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Mao Lilan's mind skipped over the issue of the crew and began to think about the hypothesis put forward by Tang Ze.

"And even if you want to try, I don't recommend you to join this crew. Judging from their status, they are still in the stage of fighting for the core right to speak." Lowering his voice, Tang Ze whispered, "That one The director is right to say that the film crew is a huge machine. Modern movies are actually the product of the film industry, and it is impossible for a group of parts that compete with each other to be produced efficiently. When you were doing group work in school, you encountered Any disagreement among team members will affect the output, not to mention them.”

Mao Lilan's eyes passed over the original author Tougo Kitaura, who had a nonchalant expression, and the slightly sad assistant director Ito Motoden, and couldn't help but agree with Karasawa's idea.

"Yeah, I wanted to be a heroine when I came up. I'm a bit..." Mao Lilan patted her forehead with a headache, "That Mr. Kawabata is so talkative that I don't even know how to refuse." .”

"Actually, it's easy to handle." Tang Ze smiled, leaned into her ear and whispered in her ear.

"...Is it true that as long as he says this, he will give up?" As he listened, Mao Lilan's expression gradually became surprised.

This statement has nothing to do with rejection at all. Kawabata Shiro does not seem to be someone who gives up easily.

"Just give it a try." Tang Ze blinked and grinned, "It's better for you to say these things anyway, right?"

"Well, let me give it a try." Mao Lilan looked at Tang Ze's naughty expression and couldn't help but smile.

At this time, even if he knew that Tang Ze was actually one year older than him, he couldn't help but think that he was like a child.

Sure enough, everyone makes judgments based on their appearance. The producer would invite her, but he was actually just attracted by her appearance and misjudged her situation. Tangze's statement is very credible.

So, when Kawabata Shiro returned to his seat, he once again pulled Mao Lilan and moved her to the seat next to him, deliberately separating her from Maori Kogoro and trying to persuade him separately, he heard such a series of content.

"Have I ever seen a movie? Oh, although I'm not a movie fan, but because my elders were engaged in related industries when I was young, I do know a little bit about it. Film production is really interesting. Who is it? You may have heard that However, her name at that time was Yukiko Fujimine..."

"Yes, she is also the actress I admire most. She is really a super beauty and a very nice person. When I was a guest at her home, she would show me her old movie videos... Yes, she It’s a pity that my uncle passed away because he was married to Kudo Yusaku.”

"Am I familiar with her? Well, that's okay? Because her son and I have been friends since kindergarten."

"The crew? I haven't been there, but I have been to the backstage of a stage play when I was traveling. It was still very interesting. Oh, because Aunt Yukiko took me to Aunt Sharon's stage to play... Yes, Ms. Sharon Wynyard, who died a year ago."

"Aristocratic school? No, no, we went to an ordinary high school, but Didan's admission rate is still very high. Hahaha, of course Uncle Kudo's children will also go to ordinary high schools. This is normal. Shinichi and I Another friend of mine, I’ve also known each other since daycare. Sonoko’s father is also the chairman of the Suzuki Group. Hey, it’s really not an aristocratic school!”

"Yes, an ordinary family, my father's words, he is a detective. Maybe you have heard of it? Sleeping Mouri Kogoro, something like that..."

Tangze held the cup in his hand and concentrated on drinking the tasteless tea. Looking at the brilliant and increasingly kind faces of the creatives across from him, he tried to hold his breath and suppress his laughter.

After all, when they met Mao Lilan, they came up with the idea of ​​​​drawing some cakes to win her, regardless of the actual benefits. They said that because they felt that she was just an ordinary girl who could easily be included in the entertainment industry. It's just that they are being seduced by this kind of pie, but they don't have the attitude to deal with serious actors.

When the crew recruits actresses, they don't talk about salary or the time and energy required for filming - they have no respect for Mao Lilan when they know that the actress is a high school student and participating in the filming may affect her studies.

A few middle-aged men with a little money and resources, with a lofty mentality, thinking that they can become stars or actors, they can easily deceive young girls into yearning for something like that. It is too common.

Now, after discovering that Mao Lilan is actually not easy to handle at all, on the contrary, if she is really allowed to join the group, she may also attract her unimaginable connections, so they don't need to refuse any more, and they give up their thoughts. .

especially……

Karasawa squinted his eyes and glanced coldly at Kawabata Shiro who started to sweat.

This kind of guy doesn't treat actors as human beings, and even takes advantage of actors being physically harmed to benefit themselves.

He would encourage Mao Lilan so vigorously, and he still had the same idea. Ordinary newcomers who feel that they have no confidence are afraid that if you don't come, if you come, we will be able to mess around.

Listening to their background clearly, you are sweating now, brother?

Behind them, Ireland, who was tall and sturdy, but sat at a single table, was also shocked and wide-eyed.

He knew, he knew that a deep-thinking person like Kumail would never do anything without aim. How could such a good person hang around a family of ordinary detectives all day long?

Look, look, this girl’s connections and background, and the way she obeys Kumail’s words and has to let Kumail see her before making any decisions...

Oh, by the way, the Suzuki Sonoko she mentioned is also completely devoted to Kumail. She has no objection to her family channel being used by the other party. She is completely in a state of being manipulated...

Ireland, who was wearing sunglasses and holding the brim of his hat low, looked toward their table from the edge of his sight, taking in the sight of Karasawa's handsome, smiling face.

When he was only 18 years old, he used his looks to seduce little girls all day long. He looked more like a publicist who deceived young girls than a member of an organization with good skills.

That's right, after all, his boss is also like that...

Shameless Kumail and Bourbon!
