Chapter 44 The Director Who Came to Me
"Seiya, Seiya, look, even the manga teacher who created the original work of 'From Now On, I'll Protect You' has spoken up.

He also said that the young Zong Ye you played is his ideal young Zong Ye!"

When Yuko saw all the positive reviews of Seiya online, she looked so proud, as if Seiya's talent was also due to her contribution.

Especially when he saw that the original teacher came out to praise Seiya, he picked up Seiya with excitement and rubbed his face with saliva in excitement.

"Alas, the ratings for the movie 'From Now On' have dropped again. My acting career hasn't even taken off yet, and it's already been stillborn."

With a look of disgust, Seiya pushed away Yuko's head, wiped the saliva from his face, and showed a look of despair.

This is completely different from the result he had expected!
Originally, Seiya thought that with his mature mind, the super physique gained from sharing abilities, and his already outstanding appearance, he could try to enter the entertainment industry.

At first, he didn't even plan to ask for any remuneration, he just wanted a chance to appear and let more people discover his "talent".

At the beginning, things went as he expected. He showed his talent and got more opportunities from the director, and his name was remembered by him.

But what he never expected was that after the movie was broadcast, the public opinion would change like this!

There was nothing wrong with his effort, but the mistake was that he overexerted himself, and now it has the opposite effect.

Director Okawa might have appreciated him before, but under the current public opinion, the movie ratings are getting lower and lower. He may still promote him in the future, so it’s good enough that he didn’t fire him on the spot.

"It seems like I can't make it in the entertainment industry anymore, so I have to think of other ways to make money.

I don’t know whether the tennis industry in this world is developed or not. If I become a professional player, how fast can I make money?
But even if professional tennis players make money, I'm only five years old now, and given the current situation of my family, I obviously can't wait that long..."

"Ding-ling-ling-ling—!"

"Moshimoshi, yes, this is Wenren's house.

Yes, that's right, my name is Wenren Yuko, and I'm Wenren Seiya's guardian. May I ask..."

Seiya was still muttering to himself, thinking about other ways to make money quickly besides being a child star.

At this moment, the phone at home suddenly rang, and Yuko hurried over to answer it.

"If all else fails, just email Yuko anonymously and give her some inspiration and ideas.

I remember that in my past life, themes about driving big cars and widows were quite popular..."

"Who did you just say was going to send me something anonymously?"

Because Seiya was so absorbed in his thoughts, he didn't even notice that Yuko had come to his side without him noticing.

When Seiya heard his curious question, he was shocked on the spot. Then, after confirming that the other party had not heard his words clearly, Seiya breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he shook his hands quickly and laughed, "No, I mean, as a famous artist, Yuko, do you usually get anonymous emails from fans?"

"An anonymous email? I think there really is one, but the content sent..."

After hearing what Seiya said, Yuko subconsciously wanted to answer the question, but when she thought about how Seiya was just a child, she couldn't help but blush and changed the subject. "Compared to those unimportant things, little Seiya, I just received a good news.

If you call me mom now and tell me you will love me forever, I will tell you the good news."

Facing the silly girl with a sweet smile in front of him, Seiya's young face showed disgust.

God knows why a 20-year-old girl, in her prime, would think about being a mother every day? Is it because she draws too much in her notebooks?
Seiya ignored Yuko's unreasonable request, but walked to the phone, stood on tiptoe and turned on the recording function.

Because Yuko's comics editor often calls her home to urge her to submit manuscripts and give her instructions, and Yuko, who has an empty head, often forgets things, their home phone has a call recording function.

After replaying the phone recording, Seiya was surprised to find that the person who had just called was actually Director Okawa.

What is even more unexpected to Seiya is that the other party specially found the contact information of Arima's mother and called him on his own initiative, just to introduce a new play to Seiya.

During the phone call, Yuko also had to ask Director Okawa the reason. After all, although Seiya performed well in his movie, it was an indisputable fact that he ruined the other party's movie.

Yuko and Seiya were both puzzled as to why Director Okawa would introduce a job to Seiya, who had offended him.

After hearing Yuko's doubts, Director Okawa on the phone also explained the reason with a smile.

In the entertainment industry, there are no such things as enemies, only eternal interests.

Although the "Young Zong Ye" that has gone viral on the Internet has indeed caused the film's rating to drop again and again, people in the industry are also quite clear that this movie was originally a commercial film prepared to make young actors famous.

No matter how bad the reviews are, it won't have much impact on him as a director.

On the contrary, although the movie was criticized this time, the box office and popularity of the movie itself also skyrocketed.

Why do we make movies? It's all about making money. The box office revenue of "From Now On, I Will Protect You" has been very satisfactory to both investors and publishers, and even the director himself received a large bonus.

And even though the male and female protagonists in the movie are being scolded badly, in fact they may not be secretly happy now.

After all, before filming this movie, they were just 18th-tier actors who were no different from ordinary people and had no popularity at all.

But since the movie came out, their popularity has skyrocketed.

There is a saying that goes, being black and red is still red. Many small actors on the 18th line don’t even have the chance to make people remember their names.

Moreover, through this performance, Seiya has appeared in the public eye, and everyone knows that he is a real piece of gold.

Even if Director Okawa did not take action, sooner or later someone would find information about Seiya through human flesh.

Don't doubt the entertainment industry's ability to find talent. Once those guys see someone with talent, they are as sharp as sharks smelling blood.

Rather than waiting for others to come to him, Director Okawa thought it would be better for him to act sooner rather than later.

After all, at this rate, it's only a matter of time before Seiya becomes famous. If you lend a helping hand now, you can make him owe you a favor.
