I'm surrounded by women.

Chapter 124 Skit Actors

Neither Katori Genzakura, Katori Ryuka, nor Xiao Gudu knew about the elopement of Kakuda Serika and Yonezawa Tsukasa.

No matter how good the relationship was with friends in kindergarten, we rarely kept in touch after graduation. After all, when we were in kindergarten, no one had a mobile phone.

Of course, even if they knew about Katori Genzakura, they would not be surprised at all. The same goes for Liuge and Xiaogudu.

When I was in kindergarten, I could see that Serika Kakuda and Kiyoshi Yonezawa had a good relationship, and I often joked about when they would get married.

However, if they knew that the two of them eloped and lived together, Katori Genzakura and the others would still be surprised.

Classmates in the same kindergarten class naturally have little difference in age. When they hear that a friend of similar age has the courage to elope and live together, even Katori Gensakura, who has lived two lives as a human, would be surprised, right?

Although living together after eloping was a bit difficult, fortunately, both Kakuta Serika and Yonezawa Tsukasa had some talent in acting. Although they could not become big actors for the time being, they often took on such short film shoots, and the pay they earned was enough for the two of them to live on.

The pay for shooting a short film like this is neither high nor low, but if you can make yourself familiar to the director, your pay will at least be more stable.

The short play directors also shoot low-cost short plays, and their goal is to complete the shooting stably with a small budget. Therefore, when choosing actors, they will definitely give priority to actors they often work with.

After all, we have worked together so many times and have a general understanding of each other's abilities. We don't need to spend time discussing remuneration. Basically, if we need to shoot a new drama, we don't need to discuss the contract. We can just call and ask if they have time recently, tell them the shooting location, and talk about the remuneration. After they agree, we can send the script and prepare to start shooting.

Using familiar actors, a short play director can shoot 6 short plays in one month!

As for the acting? Just watch it!

After all, most of the short dramas are broadcast on short video platforms. They are low-cost productions, and actors with superb acting skills cannot be hired.

Although all skit actors have a dream of becoming a big star, dreams are beautiful but reality is harsh. Without background, popularity, or a family background in the mining industry, it is hard to say whether they can become famous by casually entering the entertainment industry, but they will definitely be eaten up by the old hands in the circle.

The old hands in the entertainment industry don't dare to target newcomers who have backgrounds and powerful families, so their targets are basically only those simple newcomers who come from ordinary families and dream of becoming big stars.

Thousands of words can be summed up in one sentence: the entertainment industry is too complicated. I have no family background, and I feel that I am not lucky enough to meet a newcomer from a conscientious agency right from the start. I'd better forget about it and stop dreaming of becoming a big star. Be careful not to be sold out and help others count the money.

In comparison, although the short drama actor circle often breaks out some incredible gossip, compared with the gossip fields in the entertainment industry, it is simply too warm and peaceful.

After all, the actors filming the skits are basically from ordinary families. They don't have much money and few resources at hand. Why bother making things difficult for each other? Let's finish filming quickly and divide the money quickly!

Therefore, when filming the short drama, both the staff and the actors got along very harmoniously.

If you have a good chat, you can make a few more friends.

"Speaking of which, the pay for this kind of public welfare short film isn't as much as the pay for shooting a regular urban drama. But it's not so bad. After paying tuition, I was thinking I'd have to save money on groceries this month. I might even have to eat bean sprouts for a week. But after getting paid today, at least we won't have to eat bean sprouts for a week. After we finish filming this one, I'll ask the director if there are any short dramas we need to shoot soon?"

Yonezawa Sijing said as he counted the money in the envelope.

That’s right, the short dramas that Yonezawa Tsuyoshi and Kakuda Serika often shoot are the kind of refreshing short dramas that often appear on major short video platforms.

They shoot both short dramas for men and short dramas for women.

Sometimes when I get busy, I usually watch the men's channel in the morning and the women's channel in the afternoon.

In the morning, while filming a skit for a male-oriented drama, when the blind wives and their entire families were humiliating the son-in-law who came to live with them, they would carry their suitcases and follow a respectable-looking elderly actor into the villa rented by the crew, and shout out with the other bodyguards, "The chairman of the xxx consortium has arrived."

Ignoring the flattery of his wife and her entire family, he knelt on one knee towards the male protagonist who had been humiliated just now, and shouted: "Greetings, His Majesty the Dragon King!"

At this time, the camera switches to the faces of the wife and her entire family. They all look at the protagonist with disbelief: "W-what?! You are the Dragon King?!"

The last shot captures the male protagonist's rebellious expression.

That way the filming is complete.

In the afternoon, I went to shoot a short drama for female audiences, playing the roles of the nanny, doctor, and housekeeper of a domineering president, and watching the crazy male and female protagonists go crazy.

For example--

Overbearing CEO: "Ruanruan, you won't die..."

Silly and sweet heroine: "Dear, if I die, please take my ashes with you and take me to see the sea..."

Domineering CEO: "No! You won't die! Doctor, if you can't cure her, I will bury all of you with her!"

Although Yonezawa Sijing, who plays the doctor, has been complaining about the plot in his heart, he still has to act very serious and earnest.

Silly and innocent heroine: "Ah... I bled so much, Su Beichen. I never thought that before I died, I would willingly call you dear, even though our marriage started under your coercion. Just treat it as fulfilling one of my dying wishes, okay? I want to ask you, at this moment, in your heart, do you love me, or do you love your white moonlight Liu Ruyan who went abroad and never came back?"

Domineering CEO: "I admit that I did love Ruyan Liu at first, but I have also long been hopelessly in love with you!"

But before the heroine could finish listening to what the domineering president said, she fainted.

Overlord: "Soft!!!"

The anxious boss suddenly turned around and said to Kakuda Serika, who was acting as the housekeeper not far away: "Housekeeper! Ruanruan has panda blood. Go, bring me two pandas!"

Then, Serika Kakuda, who played the housekeeper, ran out suddenly, fearing that she would burst into laughter if she ran a second later.

In this way, Serika Kakuda and Kiyoshi Yonezawa relied on filming bizarre and refreshing short dramas while living together after eloping.

Chapter 125 Before the Date with Xiangzi

When Katori Genzakura opened her eyes, the sunlight shining into the bedroom through the curtains let her know that it was already morning.

During the holidays, Katori Genzakura preferred to sleep in, but when she remembered that she had a date with Xiangzi today, she didn't waste a second and quietly stood up from the bed.

Perhaps it was because of her guilt towards Toyokawa Shoko that Katori Genzakura got up so early. Katori Genzakura was worst at getting up. Even when she was in school, she would find ways to lie in bed for a while longer.

But today, in order not to be late, Katori Genzakura got up early without setting an alarm.

For students, this skill may seem a little strange. How can they wake up on time without setting an alarm?

But in fact, many workers would not think that this skill is surprising. Basically, all office workers have mastered this skill unknowingly. After all, punching in at work every day has become a biological clock.

If you are late for school, the teacher will just say a few words to you, and the worst that can happen is that your parents will be called in.

But if you are late for work, your salary will be deducted or you may even be fired!

The closer you work to a big company in a big city, the more sensitive you will be to the words "wage deduction" and "dismissal". Because working in a big city sounds glamorous and the monthly salary seems to be a lot, but in fact, after deducting rent, utilities, and living expenses every month, there is not much savings left.

With all the expenses, if a few hundred dollars are deducted for being late, the remaining salary, which is already not much, will be like a candle in the wind.

Although Katori Gensakura was a voice actor in her previous life, she also had to punch in the morning when she first joined the company. The experience of getting up early and punching in at the company during that time made Katori Gensakura master the skill of getting up on time without an alarm clock.

Even after reincarnation, Gensakura Katori has retained this skill after being the eldest daughter of the Katori family for so many years. I have to say that this skill is not bad. At least she doesn't have to think about setting the alarm before going to bed every night.

After sitting on the bed for a while, Katori Genzakura gradually woke up from her sweet dream. She didn't know if it was because of the hugs on both sides. Last night, after falling asleep, Katori Genzakura had a dream that she was married, but before she could see the bride's appearance clearly, she woke up.

"My future bride? What will she look like?"

Katori Genying rubbed her hair and couldn't help but feel very concerned. After all, marriage is a major event in life. In addition, her current emotional problems are a little complicated, which makes Genying very curious about which girl she will marry in the future?

If she had not met Toyokawa Shoko and the others, Katori Gensakura would have thought without hesitation that her bride was Xiao Gudu, and even if not, then it would be Xiao Erli!

But after meeting Toyokawa Shoko and transferring to Haneda Girls' College... Katori Gensakura was really unsure for a moment who she would marry in the future?

"Forget it, let's not think about getting married for now. Let's go wash up first. Given Xiangzi's personality, she will definitely go to the agreed place to wait for me in advance. I can't let her wait too long."

Katori Gensakura murmured softly, looked at Liuge and Xiaoguzu who were still sleeping beside her, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth involuntarily. She got out of bed quietly and went to the bathroom to wash up.

While washing her face in front of the mirror, Katori Genzakura thought that today was her and Nagasaki Suyo's lovers' day...

"If Su Shishi knew that I was dating Xiangzi today, I wonder what she would think? Not to mention, tomorrow on Xiangzi's Lover's Day, I will also be dating Chuhua..."

Thinking of this, Katori Gensakura looked at her beautiful face in the mirror and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I can only take advantage of today's date with Xiangzi to spend more time with him and compensate him more!

After washing up, Katori Gensakura put on a simple yet elegant long dress. She knew that Xiangzi's family was bankrupt, so when in front of Xiangzi, Katori Gensakura decided to try not to wear any expensive clothes.

It is really difficult to find a cheap piece of clothing in Katori Gensakura's wardrobe. After all, the clothes, jewelry and cosmetics that Katori Gensakura has worn since she was a child are basically from luxury brands.

Especially her aunt, who was known as a vicious woman, Katori Kyozuki, was so generous when giving money to Katori Minamoto Sakura, as if the money came from the wind.

So much so that even the usually serious grandfather, Katori Ryuin, mentioned Katori Kyozuki as if jokingly at a family dinner during the New Year:

“The company’s profit distribution for this year should have arrived, but I wonder how much Jingyue can keep for herself?

Jingyue, after you won the negotiations in Hokkaido, you used the bonus I gave you to buy a sports car, saying you were giving it to Yuanying.

But Yuanying isn't old enough to get a driver's license yet. You bought the car so early, don't you think that this way it won't belong to the family, making it convenient for you to take Yuanying on 'faraway trips' anytime, anywhere in the future?"

During every family dinner, Katori Kyozuki would sit next to Katori Genzakura. He would eat very little and his mind would be entirely focused on picking up food for Genzakura.

While picking up food, he would secretly touch Yuanying's calves and hands under the table from time to time.

Faced with this joke from her grandfather, Katori Gensakura couldn't remember how her aunt responded.

She only remembered that her aunt was holding her little hand under the table, and Katori Genying could clearly feel that Katori Kyozuki's fingertips had become cold.

It’s like doing something wrong and being exposed by adults.

"Although the sports car my aunt bought at that time looked quite expensive, it wasn't a lot of money for the family, right? Even if my aunt bought it secretly, grandpa wouldn't be angry, right?"

When she thought of this, Katori Gensakura thought that her grandfather was teaching her aunt not to spend money indiscriminately, and muttered something in confusion.

After washing up, Katori Gensakura went downstairs, thought about saying goodbye to her parents, and left first.

As for breakfast, I'll eat it with Toyokawa Shoko later~

As she walked towards the restaurant, she seemed to hear the voices of her parents chatting with another person. Katori Genzakura couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Who was having breakfast at their house so early in the morning?

Filled with curiosity, Katori Genzakura quickly walked into the restaurant and saw her parents eating, as well as... Katori Kyozuki? !

Chapter 126: Katori Kyozuki Likes Sweets

"aunt?!"

After seeing clearly that the person who came to their house early in the morning was none other than her aunt whom she had just been thinking about - Katori Kyozuki, Katori Gensakura couldn't help but shout out.

She remembered that her aunt should still be on a business trip abroad...

Ah, now I remember, I seemed to have heard my father say before that my aunt had already taken a direct flight from London and returned to Japan.

At that time, Yuan Ying was still thinking about things related to Xiangzi, so when she heard her father say this, she just responded casually, and in a blink of an eye she forgot what her father had just said to her?

Katori Kyozuki, who was adding sugar and milk to his coffee, suddenly brightened up his originally dull eyes when he saw the little Gen Sakura he had been thinking about day and night. For Katori Kyozuki, seeing Gen Sakura was like a desperate situation appeared before his eyes.

Katori Kyoyue was not polite at all. She hugged Katori Genzakura into her arms and rubbed her soft silver-white hair hard. The moment she held Genzakura in her arms, Katori Kyoyue felt as if she was healed!

"Yuan Ying, do you miss your aunt?"

Katori Kyozuki asked with a happy smile, if Nishiwaki Jiechun saw Katori Kyozuki at this moment, especially saw the smile on Katori Kyozuki's face at this moment.

He must feel very unfamiliar with Katori Kyozuki in front of him. Nishiwaki Jiechun never dared to imagine that Katori Kyozuki would have such a happy smile on his face?

Even when we were classmates, I had never seen Katori Kyozuki smile like this.

Even if I try my best to play the role of Katori Genzakura in front of Kyozuki, and play it with all my heart, I can't make Katori Kyozuki smile like this...

This also made Nishiwaki Jiechun always feel that Katori Kyozuki's personality was like this. No matter how happy he was in his heart, he would not fully show it on his face.

Little did they know that Katori Kyozuki actually didn't have that kind of personality at all, it was just because her happiest and most defenseless smile would only be revealed in front of Minamoto Sakura.

Katori Kyozuki is called by countless people as a vicious woman with a heart as cruel as a snake and scorpion. Many competitors rack their brains but find it difficult to find Katori Kyozuki's weaknesses.

In fact, the reason why Katori Kyozuki’s weakness has not been found is not because Katori Kyozuki hides her weakness very deeply, but because Katori Kyozuki’s weakness is not in herself, but in Minamoto Sakura.

Katori Genzakura is Katori Kyozuki's biggest weakness and most vulnerable spot.

Katori Kyozuki places great importance on status and wealth, but if one day, her father Katori Ryuin tells her: "As long as you are willing to give up being the head of the Katori family, give up your wealth and status, then I will allow you to marry Minamoto Sakura."

As long as Katori Ryuin said this, the ambitious Katori Kyozuki would instantly give up all his status, fame and fortune in exchange for the opportunity to marry Minamoto Sakura in a legitimate way.

Rather, Katori Kyozuki has been waiting for her father to let her make such a choice.

However, how could Katori Ryuin give Katori Kyoyue this choice? He highly values ​​Katori Kyoyue's personal ability and had already paved the way for Katori Kyoyue ten years ago.

At this moment, even if Katori Kyozuki wanted to give up the position of head of the family, no one in the Katori family would agree.

Because among Katori Kyozuki's generation, Katori Kyozuki is the most outstanding successor.

Of course, Katori Genying didn't know about her aunt's taboo feelings for her. Whenever she was held in her aunt's arms or kissed on the cheek, Katori Genying thought that Katori Kyozuki only loved her as her aunt, so when she felt Katori Kyozuki's pampering of her, Katori Genying never thought much about it.

"I thought about it~" Katori Genzakura said softly.

After holding her for a very long time, Katori Kyozuki finally let go of Gen Sakura from his arms.

"You got up so early today. Are you hungry?" Katori Kyozuki asked with a chuckle.

As Gen Ying's aunt, some of Gen Ying's expensive underwear were bought for her by Katori Kyouzuki...

Katori Kyozuki's understanding of Minamoto Sakura is almost better than Minamoto Sakura herself.

For example, Yuan Ying sometimes accidentally forgets her birthday, but it doesn’t matter even if she forgets, because every year on her birthday, she will receive birthday wishes, birthday money and birthday gifts from her aunt on time.

Rather, every time it was Gen Sakura's birthday, Katori Kyozuki would prepare it a month in advance, and then arrange for the express delivery so that the gifts prepared in advance could be delivered on time on Gen Sakura's birthday.
