The shining Shoko Toyokawa

It was a sunny day today. After getting on the car that came to pick her up, Aiyin still didn't feel the reality of being in a foreign country. It wasn't until she opened her pre-booked mobile phone and saw the greetings sent by her friends after checking their flight information that she realized it was time.

She finally realized—

I have arrived at the other side of the earth.

"Ms. Chihaya, do you need some time to rest?" the accompanying assistant said, "I'll negotiate with them. To maintain your health, we'll try to resume work in three days."

There is a 12-hour time difference between Tokyo and Florida. It was morning when Aine left, and after more than ten hours of flight, it was still morning in Florida.

"No, Miss Inoue, I've rested long enough. Now it's time to do something."

Aiyin put away her phone and stretched.

Eriri's father was worried about her coming alone, so he hired an assistant for her.

The assistant is about 1.75 meters tall, with an upright posture, black hair cut neatly and conveniently, a strong body, broad shoulders and long arms, all of which make her a good candidate for fighting.

"Help me contact the other party. I'll go to the training base now."

When Aiyin came to Amelica, she was not a student sent by District 11, nor did she plan to train for several years.

The expenses are naturally paid by Mino International Aerospace.

"OK,"

Inoue nodded, said hello to the driver sent by the other party, and drove to the training base in the suburbs of Florida.

Looking at the receding buildings outside the car window, the pink-haired girl unconsciously tightened her grip on the T-shaped ornament hanging around her neck.

It was not heavy, a bit like some special metal, but also like an electronic product, and it felt cool to the touch. Just touching it made Aine feel at ease.

"Xia Ya-san, have we arrived at Liuqiu yet?"

…………

……

Liu Qiu, a film and television base somewhere,

When the director and his team saw the blonde girl coming, it was like seeing her real father.

He took her on a tour, half a step behind her, of the temporary facilities and scenes that would be used for filming.

"If you are not satisfied with this script, we can also add African Americans, transgender homosexuals, war survivors with PTSD, and characters who think they have MS."

"Uh..." Xia Ya was almost speechless. "Mr. Bros., I don't really watch mecha movies or anything like that. What are some of your previous works?"

Upon hearing this, the director straightened his back proudly and said, "The Gundam: Jiji's Adventure, which I directed, will be broadcast soon."

As he said this, he gave Xia Ya a look that said, "I understand."

"Now, in Europe and the United States, only films like this can pass censorship. I guarantee that there will be no complaints from the LGBTTQQIAAP+ community."

Xia Ya was so stunned by what she heard that after finishing the visit, she called Chu Hua.

"Chu Hua, can you talk to the investors and change the director?"

"What's wrong?" Chu Hua's tone on the other end of the phone was slightly teasing, "Xia Ya, aren't you from the Fog City? When you lead the British side, you have to find minorities to play King Arthur and Guinevere."

It seems that she knows the director's character very well.

As if afraid of angering Xia Ya, she quickly added, "Don't worry, we've already found another directing team. They have experience shooting special effects and robot films, and they even participated in the production of Gundam. The script I told you about was written by this team."

"Will this cause unnecessary trouble to you, Chuhua?"

Although Chu Hua said it lightly, but this behavior of changing the director at the last minute is a slap in the face of the investors. Unless he becomes the largest investor,

But a movie of this size would cost hundreds of millions of dollars to invest, and if it goes wrong, it might end up losing everything.

The Triangle Family has not yet reached the point where Chu Hua has the final say.

"I have asked my friends in the Middle East for help," the girl on the other end of the phone lowered her voice, as if she was telling a secret.

"After seeing the film 'Gigi's Adventures' through internal channels, which whitewashed the people of Ji'an, they were furious and said they wanted to make a movie that was a million times better than it."

Looking at the director of "Gigi's Adventure" not far away, Xia Ya no longer had any sympathy for him being about to be fired.

Liuqiu was a bit hot in August. Xia Ya took off her coat and adjusted her white shirt.

The film and television base is relatively close to the seaside, and there is also an area for shooting sea views on the coast.

A white-blonde girl stood on the beach, gazing at the sea like a figure in a frozen painting.

The wind blew her white skirt. Perhaps she noticed Xia Ya's arrival and slowly turned her head.

At this moment, the wind suddenly increased, and the hand-woven sun hat on her head was blown up by the wind and fell to Char's feet.

Her countless threads, almost transparent in the sunlight, danced and swayed in the wind. Behind her was the endless sea, with white waves crashing against the golden beach, and several fiddler crabs running by the waves in search of food.

Xia Ya was stunned for a moment. She felt like she was watching a movie, and the girl in the dress on the beach was the heroine of the movie.

In fact, she is indeed the heroine in the movie that is about to start shooting.

Xia Ya bent down to pick up the beautiful straw hat and walked towards the 'heroine' at a moderate pace.

"Wakaba-san, your hat,"

The white-blonde girl shook her head vigorously, as if trying to break free from some illusion. "Thank you, Miss Isabella,"

After thanking her, she took her straw hat and held it in her arms.

Then, just silently, looking at the sea...

Xia Ya didn't say anything either, she just stood not too far away from her.

Like playing 123, wooden man, after a few minutes, Mu finally spoke again, "Ms. Xia Ya, you still have a lot of important things to do. Why did you come here for such a trivial matter?"

Mu is very sharp.

In fact, this is indeed the case. Before this, Xia Ya was either a volunteer, a spokesperson for an "international organization", or a driver.

But now she is here to play the second female role, which doesn't seem right no matter how I think about it.

But reasons are something that can be given as many times as you want.

"Movies and video media are now very important channels for disseminating information. Most adults won't read a book for six months, but will watch videos in the few minutes of free time after work.

A hit movie can be edited into countless short videos that circulate on the internet. If the film's values ​​are correct, its impact on the world will definitely be greater than that of many famous works.

After finishing her nice words, Xia Ya smiled and spoke her true feelings, "Also, helping Ruoye-san is definitely not a small matter."

Mu forced himself not to look at Xia Ya's smiling face.

She couldn’t tell the difference, she really couldn’t tell the difference!

Chapter 145: The Meaning of Tragedy

"It doesn't matter,"

The white-blonde girl said softly, "Because I have nothing, it doesn't matter."

"Nothing," Xia Ya shook her head and looked away. "Isn't your friend looking for you?"

Mu followed Xia Ya's gaze and saw three girls walking quickly towards him. The one in front was smiling like a cat about to do something bad.

The red-haired girl was hanging at the end a little awkwardly.

The girl in the middle was waving gently at Mu. She had light blue hair cut just to shoulder length and her smile was a little shy.

"That's great, Ruoye-san, you finally made a friend..." Xia Ya smiled and turned away, 'not someone who will protect you unilaterally, but an equal friend.'

Xia Ya, or rather, Xiangzi's mood was complicated.

She felt like a mother who saw her daughter with social anxiety suddenly bring her friends home.

While feeling relieved, I also feel a little disappointed.

Because the world of 'daughter' is no longer just her,

If this is the case, there will surely be many exciting stories in the future.

Xia Ya felt that Chu Hua's judgment was not correct, or that the delay was a bit too high.

'Maybe I should just leave. Aside from Miao Meng, they are both very capable actors. They can easily play the role of the second female lead.

What worries me most is...'

"Xiao Mu!"

Just when Xia Ya was distracted, Miao Meng's scream came from behind. Xia Ya noticed from the corner of her eye that the white-blonde girl had a tendency to tilt her body.

"Did you get heatstroke?!"

——Before such doubts arose in her mind, Xia's body moved on its own.

She grabbed Mu's hand and brought her into her arms. Her movements were smooth and seamless, as if they had been rehearsed countless times, or as if they were dancing tango.

"Miss Ruoye, you..."

Xia Ya's words were interrupted halfway through, because the girl in her arms, although breathing a little faster, looked normal. Although there was a little surprise in her golden eyes, her gaze was clear.

There was no sign of heat stroke or hypotension at all.

Xia Ya quickly let her go, and to hide the emotion on her face, she lowered her head to pick up her coat.

As the saying goes, "Care too much and you will be confused." Xia Ya knew very well that she was being tricked by Miao Meng.

"Sorry, sorry, the sun was too bright, I accidentally misread it," Meow Meng laughed, her apology insincere. "But you should still pay more attention to her. Although Rapunzel is very powerful as a war weapon, she is also very delicate."

"Do you want to read the script?" Miao Meng said without waiting for Xia Ya's consent, and handed the script to her.

Xia Ya opened it and found that the script was still in the revision stage. There was only a plot summary and a few sketches, as well as important lines -

The line "Rapunzel is very powerful as a weapon of war, but on the other hand, she is very delicate" is from the script.

The heroine is named Rapunzel, which is the name of the long-haired princess in the movie "Tangled", which is adapted from the Grimm fairy tale "Tangled" (also known as Rapunzel).

This name is used to address and as a weapon of war. All the girls' thoughts are trapped in the heroine in MS, that is, Xiao Mu, which is inexplicably appropriate.

However, the next line was not what Xia Ya's character should answer.

The character of 'Major' is an incompetent prince.

Until the end, when she was about to die, she rescued Rapunzel from the witch's tower.

Before this, Rapunzel's companions were only three 'birds'.

One is arrogant, one is shy, and the other is very naughty.

The naughty 'bird' seems to be played by Miao Meng, who said: 'But you should pay more attention to her...'

It is addressed to the tsundere bird, not the belated, short-lived prince named Major (Char), at least that’s how it is in the script.

Like many Gundams, the three 'birds' they played all died at the hands of the Major.

So Rapunzel decided to take revenge on the Major, but in the end she found out that the Major was her childhood sweetheart.

And Rapunzel didn't even have time to figure out whether the Major was a family member or someone she loved...

Finally, the 'Rapunzel' who was trapped in the ruthless tower came to the land of emotions.

But war will never stop because of the will of a few people.

Coming to the land of emotions, Rapunzel continues to fight, but this time, she will feel sad for the dead and try her best to save the living.

Looking forward to it,

Praying,

Strive to bring about a world where lovers are no longer forced to kill each other!

In the end, the storyboard sketch froze on the moment when Rapunzel's body was hit during the battle and her inner monologue came to an abrupt end.

The hopes of the three 'little birds' and the 'prince' were also destroyed in the war.

…………

"This script is very sad, don't you think so, Xia Ya-san?"

Xia Ya knew that there was something behind the other person's words, but she had no way to answer.

"It's a very good outline. If we can perfect the details, we can definitely make a good story."

"But it's a bad ending!" Miao Meng disagreed. "Everyone is dead, what's the point of all this?"

"Of course there is meaning. Tragedy is the ladder for mankind to ascend to God." Xia Ya closed the script outline and handed it back to Miao Meng. "Don't be afraid of tragedy, don't be afraid of tragedy. It is a mirror that reflects the beauty of the world.

And the script hasn’t been finalized yet, so there’s still hope.”
