I became a girl group idol for my sister.

"No, no, no, it won't be that stressful. Actually, there's plenty of time. This movie is my personal investment, so it's all small-scale productions, and there aren't many famous actors. As for the cost, I asked a lot of people for help, and in the end, we only managed to raise 200 million yen."

"What if we lose money..."

Yamazaki Ryosuke shrugged, appearing extremely shrewd.

"Then I'll just have to slowly make movies for people to pay off the debt."

However, when it comes to making movies, as long as they're not too bad, there are still quite a few people who will buy them. Miyamoto Sei stopped thinking about what would happen if Yamazaki Ryosuke went bankrupt.

He's still wondering just how busy he'll be next.

At this moment, Ryosuke Yamazaki produced an agreement.

"This is the contract. To show our sincerity, in addition to the fixed performance fee of 320 million yen, we are also willing to provide 1% of the film's box office revenue as a profit share."

Is he going to take 1% of the box office revenue as a share? I don't think he approached me just because I know about kendo and swordsmanship. Otherwise, it would be more appropriate to find some newcomers to the film industry. They could even provide enough basic training for a movie.

The opportunity to act in a movie, even as the lead, is something many people would take even without payment. So, there's more to his story about him approaching me...

Thinking of this, Miyamoto looked at Yamazaki Ryosuke with a smile.

"Director Yamazaki, you didn't come to see me just because of the recent news, did you?"

Ryosuke Yamazaki's expression froze for a moment, then he immediately burst into laughter.

"A little bit, just a tiny bit."

With this answer, Miyamoto understood why the other party was willing to offer such a large benefit.

For a movie, if an investor invests 200 million yen, the box office needs to reach around 600 million yen to avoid losing money, because a significant portion of that money needs to be paid to theaters and other institutions.

Therefore, on the premise of not losing money, they are willing to give 1% of the profits, which means they are willing to give at least six million as a reward to Miyamoto Sei.

As for why he did this, it's simple: Miyamoto Sei did something big. His act of sitting directly on the throne of the general election has kept him in the trending topics for the past two days. In other words, by playing the lead role, he is essentially appearing as a character with built-in advertising benefits, someone who can attract viewers.

To put it simply, his role in this movie is somewhat reminiscent of a young, handsome actor.

“We will communicate with them regarding the filming schedule to ensure there are no overlaps,” Yamazaki Ryosuke added, demonstrating his sincerity. After a moment's thought, Miyamoto Sei finally nodded: “Okay, I understand. Let’s do it that way then. I’m really looking forward to filming the scenes.”

"I'll send you the script when I get back, you can take a look first." Yamazaki Ryosuke was so happy he almost jumped up. He immediately got up and walked towards the door: "Then I'll go arrange my work now, Mr. Amagai, and thank you for your permission!"

After the other person left, Miyamoto looked at Amagai Risa and asked, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll be going now. I have training to do later."

"Let me think about it." Amagai Risa looked at Miyamoto Sei, seemingly deep in thought. Miyamoto Sei waited for about half a minute, wondering why she still hadn't come up with an idea, when Amagai Risa spoke up: "Why don't you try writing the lyrics yourself?"

"what?"

Miyamoto looked at Amagai Risa as if she were an idiot.

"Are you sure? Could it be that you've been too tired lately and your brain isn't working properly?"

“If you want to say I have something wrong with my head, just say so.” Tenbei Lisa smiled and then continued, “A lot of the time, a very important part of writing lyrics is life experience. You have quite a lot of experience and have met a lot of people, so you can try it yourself without any problems. But you can send it to me after you finish writing it so I can take a look.”

"You're not planning to let me write my own music, are you?"

"If you want to compose music, you need to relearn. Of course, you've been exposed to music for so long, so you must have your own understanding of some things. You're just at a stage where you haven't been able to systematically turn these into your own knowledge yet."

As Amagai Risa spoke, Miyamoto Sei was taken aback.

"You don't really want me to learn how to compose music, do you?!"

"No, no, no, you need to learn this again. How about you try writing lyrics? Sometimes, your own songs and lyrics are the best way to express your thoughts and feelings, aren't they?"

"The prerequisite is sufficient reading volume and vocabulary..."

"So your vocabulary is very limited?"

Hearing this, Miyamoto smiled.

"My grades are very good, no matter which subject I take."

“That’s fine then, give it a try,” said Risa Tenbei, then immediately added, “By the way, this isn’t a task, just think of it as the two of us exchanging ideas on writing lyrics.”

"Alright, I'll write one for you in the next couple of days." Miyamoto Sei seemed very confident: "Let me show you my writing skills."

"Let's see the finished product first before we talk about the writing style. I'm looking forward to it."

Seeing that the other party had nothing else to do, Miyamoto left the office, and Amagai Risa also chuckled.

"Let's keep looking forward to it then; maybe it's actually quite well-written?"

……

For Miyu Nagaan, who has been promoted to a full member, today is another busy day, a rare day off.

She was moving out of Mika Komatsu's house and heading to her new home.

"Thank you, Nana-chan, for helping me move again." Miyu Nagayasu said gratefully to Miyamoto Sei who came to help her move.

"It's okay, I'm just killing time anyway. I ate quite a lot last night, so moving things will burn off the extra calories," Miyamoto said, lifting a cardboard box.

This cardboard box is full of books. When you take books out one by one, you don't feel much, but when you put them together, they become very heavy.

Judging from the box in his hand, Miyamoto suspected that it contained at least forty or fifty books.

Although the three of them are quite wealthy now, the apartment that Yongan Meixi rents is not very big. It has a very simple layout, with just one bedroom, a bathroom, and the living room and dining room are combined. It's just a very ordinary one-bedroom apartment.

If I had to point out an advantage, it would be its proximity to the theater, which allows me to get there relatively quickly.

After moving everything in, they helped assemble the new bookshelf that Yongan Meixi had bought and put all the books on it. Meanwhile, Yongan Meixi tidied up the things in the bedroom, including clothes and so on.

After everything was resolved, more than an hour had passed.

"It feels like the two of them can handle it quickly, but time flies by too, it's already been over an hour..."

Yongan Meixi glanced at her watch, then looked at the refrigerator. The refrigerator was newly installed and was obviously empty.

"Let's go out to eat, Nana-chan!"

"Where should we eat?" Miyamoto asked curiously. He had never been to this place before, so he didn't know what good food was available.

"Hehe, actually I already explored the neighborhood before renting the place, so I know where to find good food. Just follow me!" Miyu Nagaan laughed, pulling Miyamoto Sei along as they walked outside. She was very happy and looked very sunny.

However, she suddenly stopped when she reached the door.

"Meixi?"

"Actually, I was very nervous about this general election, extremely nervous... I was thinking about what would happen if I didn't make it..."

She said in a low voice.

"But you're not just shortlisted, you're ranked 33rd, you could be the center!"

As Miyamoto spoke, he placed his hand on the other person's shoulder, and Nagasu Miyu's shoulder trembled slightly.

“Although my family is very supportive of me becoming an idol, the first thing is that everyone else has become a full member while I am still a graduate student, which makes it difficult for me to tell my family… Even though they continue to support me as always, I was really happy when I was promoted, extremely happy, at least I can tell my parents that I am a real idol now.”

She's actually under a lot of pressure...

Miyamoto sighed inwardly and tightened his grip slightly on the other person's shoulder.

"Then there's the general election. If I don't make it into the general election, it's like not even getting my exam results. So even if I only make it and become 64th, I can tell my family that I've achieved enough. But if I don't make it, I don't even know how to tell my parents."

At this point, she paused for a moment to recover, and then laughed.

"But now it's great. Not only did I make it to the finals, but I also ranked 33rd. When I talked to my parents on the phone that night, I could hear the real relief in their voices."

“Because they know you’ve really made a name for yourself in this industry,” Miyamoto said.

"Okay!" Miyu Nagayasu nodded, then turned around and grabbed Miyamoto Sei's hand again: "Let's go, Nana-chan, let's go eat!"

"Okay, you'd better find me a good place to eat!"

"no problem!"

Miyu Nagaan smiled, this time truly completely relaxed.

Miyu Nagasu had indeed scouted the area, and she skillfully led Miyamoto Sei to a restaurant located in a small alley.

This restaurant looks quite small, and judging from its facade, it has obviously been around for decades.

This is a ramen restaurant.

Besides ramen, they also sell various rice dishes such as pork cutlet rice and omelet rice, as well as some side dishes.

"Young lady, what would you like to order?"

The boss looked to be in his forties, with clearly defined muscles in his hands. He didn't offer any greetings like "Welcome," but simply asked directly.

Miyamoto looked around and noticed that many people were eating pork cutlet rice bowls, even though this place should mainly serve ramen.

However, since everyone is eating, it's clear what you should choose.

"Two pork chop rice bowls!" Miyu Nagaan shouted at this moment.

"Okay, please wait a moment."

After choosing a seat, Miyu Nagasu said to Miyamoto Sei, "This has always been a ramen shop, but because the owner's pork cutlet rice is better, most people who come here actually come for the pork cutlet rice. However, since this is a ramen shop that has been inherited, the name and such have not been changed."

"Not bad, it sounds quite legendary." Miyamoto looked around again. The people there were all sweating profusely as they ate, but they still couldn't stop. It was clear that, just as Nagasu Miyu had said, the people here were all here to eat pork cutlet rice because it was so delicious.

"I heard that the owner was originally a sumo wrestler, and he inherited this place after retiring."

"A sumo wrestler, huh? He's really gone to great lengths to lose weight..." Looking at the other man's muscular physique, which showed no signs of being a sumo wrestler, Miyamoto muttered to himself, "If I saw him outside, I'd probably suspect he was some kind of boxer."
