Shugo Chara: Be happy today too

——.

Qingshu Group Corporation.

Lobby.

"Smith Marseille, you cannot enter the company without an appointment."

Seeing the other party bowing and begging, the receptionist was also embarrassed and could only smile and refuse again, "I'm really sorry, this is the company's rule, you can't go up without an appointment."

"..."

"how so……"

Yameng was devastated. She went to the rest area in the lobby with Kabei in a depressed mood and collapsed on the sofa. "Ah, I didn't expect that I couldn't even enter the building after coming here. This company is really strict."

"But it's true. It's not a complete entertainment company..." Yameng muttered, and then couldn't help feeling a little strange, "But why doesn't anyone want to let you sing?"

"Because my singing doesn't reach anyone." Ge Bei replied, staring at the floor in a puzzled daze, not knowing what she was thinking: Takuya's company...should she send a message?

At the last firm's founding dinner, Taku exchanged contact information with her, but it felt like they didn't have much in common, so they haven't talked much until now.

Yameng took a deep breath and stood up again: "It's not over yet, let's go to the next goal!"

Hearing this, Ge Bei calmed down and cheered up again: "Of course!"

Let's try again. If it doesn't work, I'll ask Takuya for help. Let the desire to sing become stronger and stronger!

——.

Shortly after the two left Qingshu Company.

Aoki An and the three kids came to the company.

Yui exclaimed, "Wow! It's so big!"

Jiehui: "This is An An's first time coming to my brother's office~"

Qingmu An nodded, and felt a little excited when he thought about what he was going to do next.

She looked around and came to the front desk: "Hello, which floor is the studio on?"

The receptionist was busy typing information into her computer. She said helplessly, "I'm really sorry, ladies. Even if I tell you which floor it is, you can't take the elevator without a pass... Uh."

As she spoke, she looked up and stopped talking when she realized that they were not the two girls from before.

"?" Qing Mu An blinked, and suddenly asked, "Did anyone want to come to the studio just now?"

"!" The receptionist stood up suddenly, looking embarrassed and apologetic, "Miss An, I'm so sorry, it was my negligence..."

After repeatedly bowing to apologize, she explained, "Two ladies did want to come to the studio just now. Miss Xingna Gebei wanted to perform on our company's platform, but Miss Xingna didn't have an appointment and she's not a signed singer of our company, so I refused them to enter the company."

What?! Who are you talking about? Sing a song?!

Qing Muan was stunned and immediately asked, "Where are they now?"

"I just saw them going to the rest area..." That's why she mistakenly thought that the other party was not giving up and came over to ask again.

The receptionist paused as she pointed over there, only to see that all three sofas in the lounge were empty. She immediately said awkwardly, "Maybe they just left."

Aoki Yasu immediately turned around and rushed out of the building, observing the surrounding streets to see if there were any familiar figures.

It’s a pity that there were few passers-by on the street, and not a single child.

The three little Jiehui sensed it and shook their heads: "We didn't sense Yilu and the others."

Upon hearing this, Aoki An smacked his lips regretfully and had to go back into the building. Under the guidance of the staff, he came to the studio floor.

This was the first time that An Aoki came to the company, but it was not the first time for the company's employees to see him. The team-building activity of watching the e-sports competition was still fresh in their memory: it was the first time they knew that team building also had a track called "Cheer for the Boss".

The young boss inherited the company and has much of the demeanor of the former big boss, but his occasional behavior reveals that the young boss is a new person at heart.

The lights were green all the way upstairs, and the secretary who had received the news and was waiting there came forward to guide her and said, "Miss An, here. I will be Miss An's assistant this afternoon. You can call me anytime if you need anything."

Aoki An nodded somewhat stiffly.

Following Nagatani into the studio, we found that it had already been occupied by a film crew. Not far away in the huge hall, there was a green screen shooting scene where actors were already filming.

After Nagao found the producer and director and told them that Miss Aoki had arrived, a short while later, a young lady from the costume and makeup team enthusiastically asked Aoki An to go into the dressing room.

A moment later, Aoki Yasu came out wearing a gorgeous orange-red kimono, which immediately caused the costume and makeup team to shout in surprise: "Wow, so kawaii!"

She couldn't wait to bring Aoki An to the producer and director: "Director, it's a perfect fit!"

The producer and director looked over when they heard the sound, and their eyes immediately lit up.

The director, in particular, couldn't help but stare at Aoki An as he turned around and observed him, nodding his head frequently: "Not bad, not bad, it has the temperament of Edo-era Kabuki!"

The producer was also very surprised. He never expected that the actor who was temporarily inserted by the producer would be so suitable for the role. He thought it was just another young lady with connections who had no talent at all and came to experience the work of an actor.

After all, the character played by Aoki Yasu was just the childhood of the protagonist, and he was a dance stand-in, with only two short shots. For the entire "Oiran Child's Name" movie, it was not a big failure, so the producer at that time readily agreed to the request of the financial sponsor Takuya to add a cast.

Who knew that his sponsor would give him such a big surprise? Whether he can dance or not is another matter, but his temperament alone is enough to do it!

Aoki Yasu was so nervous about being stared at by them that he grabbed his furisode.

Seeing this, Nagao came out and urged the director to start quickly.

Soon, the crew members started to move, rearranging the set and placing props, and asked Aoki An to come forward for a tryout.

"Oiran Chiina" tells the life story of Chiina, an oiran who worked at Suzunoya in Yoshiwara Street during the Edo period. She was sold to Yoshiwara Street when she was a child, became famous for a dance, and spent her life dealing with all kinds of people, but eventually died beside a osmanthus flower. The film uses Japanese Ukiyo-e aesthetics to show the reality and customs of Yoshiwara Street during the Edo period.

What Aoki Yasu was going to perform was the sun dance that caused a sensation on Yoshiwara Street after Chiina entered Suzuno's house, as well as the subsequent scene where he accidentally glanced at the tourists outside Suzuno's house while dancing among a group of geishas.

The director originally wanted to take a freeze-frame of the dance and then edit it into the shot, but after discovering that Aoki Yasu could indeed dance and even the dance instructor and art director on the set praised him, he decisively changed the freeze-frame to a dynamic shot and allowed Aoki Yasu to freely perform a sundance.

The film's running time was therefore a few minutes longer, but with the financial backing of the producer, the producer was very generous with his money, and seeing that Aoki Yasu had a good sense of the camera, he simply added a close-up of the camera movement in the last scene as well.

Aoki Yasushi: ...

Brother, she hasn’t even studied the character’s biography in detail, what if that close-up shot reveals the wrong emotion?

Aoki An was somewhat helpless, so he had to consult the other two actors who played Zhiming while changing the scene layout.

After a busy afternoon, it finally ended successfully.

Just as she was about to remove her makeup, the photography crew couldn't help but approach Aoki An and said, "Miss An, I wonder if we can take a few photos of you. Miss An looks so good in this outfit."

"……Well."

Qingmu An couldn't refuse, so he nodded in agreement.

——.

Half an hour later, in Takuya's office.

"So tired..." Aoki sat back on the sofa.

Takuya's eyes lit up as he flipped through the theater photos of his sister that the staff had just sent him, one by one: "Beautiful! Cute! Pretty!"

“……” Qing Mu An was somewhat helpless.

But Takuya couldn't wait to vent his pride and continued, "Sister, the director said you have a talent for acting. Would you like to try taking on some dramas in the future?"

"!!" Aoki An, "No!"

"Okay." Takuya had no choice but to smack his lips regretfully and turned to another matter, "By the way, sister, I've registered you for the "Dance World" dance competition recommended by your teacher."

"Okay, thank you brother."

Qing Mu An was paralyzed for a while, then he remembered what happened in front of the company: "Brother, did Ge Bei come to see you?"

"A song?" Takuya was stunned and shook his head, "No, did something happen?"

Aoki An told him what happened when he came to the company at noon.

As soon as Takuya heard it, he understood what was going on.

He frowned. He didn't expect the Resurrection Society to be so ruthless. It had only been a short time since they started to impatiently ban Ge Bei, and even had people come to him. "Don't worry, sister. I'll tell the people below later. Next time Ge Bei comes, I'll let her in directly."

Qing Mu An nodded, but he couldn't completely relax. Once people have free time, they will think about all kinds of things.

"Ms. Hoshina wants to perform on our company's platform..."

Why did Ge Bei suddenly want to perform at my brother's company?

Did she forget something again?

Aoki An didn't quite remember what happened in the process of Ge Bei returning to the screen. After thinking about it, he still felt uneasy.

Just when he was about to ask his brother if anything had happened in the entertainment industry recently, he saw Takuya buried his head in reviewing some documents, so he changed the words he was about to say: "Brother, I'm going to go out for a walk."

"Let Hughes accompany you. Be safe."

——.

The sky is nearly orange.

It was rush hour, but my brother showed no intention of leaving get off work... When Aoki An walked out of the company building, he found that it was already late outside.

The constant flow of traffic and honking of horns on the streets outside make the hot and humid summer day even more restless. Even when the sun sets, people still feel restless.

But these did not affect the good mood of the Shugo Chara at all.

Jiehui: "I'm really tired today, but I'm so happy~"

Yui couldn't help but ask, "Hey, Hughes, can we see An-chan on TV from now on?"

Xiu Si curved his eyes and said, "Of course, when the movie is released, we can go directly to the cinema to watch it, but it will probably be a year later."

Yui was surprised: "So long?"

Yui: “But I’m really looking forward to it~”

Yui's eyes lit up: "I want to see it."

"..." Hearing this, Qing Mu An couldn't help but smile. After he walked out of the downtown and came to the quieter Central Park, he took out his mobile phone and prepared to call Ge Bei.

But at this moment, faint singing was heard in the park.

Hearing a familiar voice, Qing Mu An paused and looked up. He saw passers-by walking in twos and threes around him. After hearing the singing, they involuntarily moved towards the source of the sound.

"I heard singing." "It seems to be over here." "Yeah." "It sounds so beautiful, let's go over and take a look."...

Qing Mu An put away his phone and followed the passers-by. After walking a few steps, the passer-by in front of him suddenly stopped and asked: "What? What is that kid doing?"

?

Qing Mu An was about to go around the person in front of him when the familiar song that had stopped sounded again: "The new me is slowly being born - come on, I am no longer shy. My Heartful Song My Heartful Song..."

The passerby put his hands on his hips and said, "Isn't that Xing Na Ge?"

B: "Why are you singing in a place like this?"

C: "Dei Mo... Great."

D: "Yeah, that's a great song."

E: "It feels like I'm melting..."

……

It’s really Ge Bei... Qingmu An’s eyes lit up, and he walked to a more spacious place on the other side. Sure enough, he saw Ge Bei standing on the fountain platform, closing his eyes and immersed in singing.
