"Of course that's not what I meant..."
Kasumigaoka Utaha grabbed the fallen hair and started to get tangled up. She herself was also enjoying the benefits of this, and her stance of condemnation was indeed not very firm.
"Teacher Enjo, if the plot of your animation is greatly modified, or even deviates from the original intention, what will you do?"
"This, there's no way to resist." Natsume Rin drank the last sip of coffee. The bitter taste filled his mouth, making him more clear-minded than ever before.
"You have to understand that although we are the creators, the copyright has long been taken away by the bookstore, and the production company has paid a large sum of money to produce it. If the other party respects us, we still have the right to speak. If they don't care, they can completely ignore us and act accordingly."
"If I remember correctly, all the copyrights of Kasumi Shiko's "Love Metronome" belong to the bookstore."
Natsume Rin acted very relaxed. Although he also traded the copyright of "Sword Art Online" to the bookstore, he had a lot of room for maneuver in the scale of the contract. After all, the work was already quite well-known when he signed it.
"Yes... The response to the first volume was not very good at the beginning. It was a good thing that Yuanzi took the initiative to help me get everything done." Kasumigaoka Utaha's legs began to tremble rapidly. Only then did she realize that she seemed to have sold herself to the bookstore.
At the time, it seemed like she had made a profit. After all, she had the support of a bookstore. No matter how bad the results were, at least she could print and distribute the book. But after she became really successful with publicity, the original contract became a constraint again.
No one can tell whether this is a loss or a profit.
"So, senior, before you come to me for advice, I suggest you go find Yuanzi first." Natsume Rin packed her things and prepared to go back for real this time.
Not sure whether the other party listened to her sincere advice, when Natsume Rin left, the senior was still sitting in her seat, lost in thought.
It looked like a big decision was about to be made.
I hope that the troubles that are bothering her will disappear when I see her next time.
Chapter 75 Is he really a genius?
Just a few days into the new semester, Sobu High School's learning pace taught the first-year students a lesson.
In order to help everyone realize the reality of school as quickly as possible, the school cruelly held an exam in the first week of school.
Amid the wailing of Class 2, Natsume Rin lay on the table, slowly thinking and digging for clues that Senior Kasumigaoka was Kasumi Shiko's teacher.
When he was short of an artist, the artist that Sonoko introduced to him was a friend of Kasumi Shiko. However, at Sobu High School, the only person who could be called her friend and whom he knew well was Senior Eriri.
What's even more coincidental is that Eriri is a core member of the art club...
We cannot rule out the possibility that these are all coincidences. After all, Senior Kasumigaoka entered the industry early, so it is normal for her to know more outstanding painters.
In fact, the reason why Natsume Rin stopped thinking further was that when she thought that Eriri, who was usually very popular in school, might actually be an 18+ painter in private, Natsume Rin couldn't help but sympathize with the unfortunate children in Eriri's fan club.
Hahahaha...
"Natsume, do you want to study after school?" Shiina Mahiru touched his back.
He was so gloating that he couldn't laugh out loud. Just like the so-called Eriri Fan Club, a similar organization had already appeared only a few days after Shiina Mahiru transferred to the school. According to the information provided by Totsuka, none of the three people in their service club escaped, and all of them had secret fan clubs.
'Cancel it immediately!'
And because of the angel's undisguised approach during this period, Natsume Rin felt that the eyes of her classmates had become strange.
Tsk, stupid high school student.
"I need to discuss the script with the minister."
Her eyes were filled with doubt. This was the umpteenth time she had been rejected in this period of time.
Aside from the dinner that I couldn't avoid, it seemed like every time I took the initiative to invite Natsume-san, I ended up failing.
Is it hated?
Natsume Rin tried hard not to look into her eyes. He didn't want the hatchet, nor did he want Shiina-san to realize the truth only at the last moment.
When the time is right, just announce the fact that you have a girlfriend. It is better not to have any more in-depth communication before that.
"I see." Mahiru pinched her chin and pondered, "What kind of movie do you want to make?"
"How about a superhero? The kind that flies around in the sky and can destroy the world when fighting." Natsume Rin became interested.
"Three people?" Mahiru tilted his head.
"Well... we are indeed at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. How about Kamen Rider? They need much less of this kind of thing." Natsume Rin said angrily.
Anyway, according to the boys’ thinking, if they are going to make a movie, it must be exciting enough!
"Natsume-san." Mahiru rubbed his forehead, thinking that boys were single-celled organisms.
How come I am a completely different creature at school than at home?
"If possible, I suggest you consider the movie as a campus cultural festival. If you really want to shoot something like that, I can help you find a channel."
As we chatted, we got to the topic of living off gigolos. Could he really be a genius at living off gigolos?
I took out my cell phone and inadvertently took a picture of myself with the screen, and found that I did look like her.
"If we use the budget for the school festival, we will have to follow the minister's arrangements."
They shouldered their backpacks and walked towards the club building together.
"Her idea was to make a documentary or a short film, which would be about 20 minutes long."
"Not bad." Mahiru glanced at the busy playground and suddenly remembered the scene when she met Yukinoshita during physical education class a few days ago.
People like Yukinoshita-san are unexpectedly physically weak.
"It's good, but the premise is to ignore the fact that I wrote the script." Natsume Rin complained, pointing at her nose.
"Isn't this Natsume's specialty?"
"This view is like the idea that students majoring in computer science must know how to repair computers. It is blatant prejudice."
As he complained, the door of the activity room was pushed open. This time, Yukino did not sit there elegantly reading a book. Instead, she was flipping through some papers, not knowing what she was thinking about.
"Good evening, Yukinoshita-san."
"Good evening."
Hearing her voice, Yukino greeted her politely. Seeing Natsume Rin looking like he was about to give up, she found it funny and moved the documents in her hand to his side.
Natsume Rin took a quick glance and immediately lost interest.
Are all the school activities concentrated in the second semester? There is still a long time before the school festival, but the news of the sports festival has already come out.
There is a campus festival in July, a sports festival in August, a school trip in September, and a school anniversary in October.
After all these holidays and activities, do people really need to study?
If you fail to get into the University of Tokyo, you will all be criminals!
"Every club has to send members to participate in the competition. Is Natsume confident that he can win the long-distance running championship?" Yukinoshita Yukino spoke in a serious tone.
"I suggest you take part in the 100-meter race, so that you won't collapse from exhaustion." Natsume Rin was not to be outdone.
"Stupid, as a minister, am I going to stay out of this? I signed up for a few activities that don't require much physical strength."
Having said that, she looked at the smiling Shiina-san, wondering whether she should arrange a competition for her.
"Both Yukinoshita-san and Natsume seem very confident about the competition," Mahiru asked, clapping her hands.
"That's fine with me, it mainly depends on him," Yukino said.
"I trust Natsume. If that's the case, leave the girls' sports to me. If possible, I think we can win a lot of championships."
Her words aroused Yukino's great interest, and after careful consideration, the goal of the Service Club was changed.
"Becoming number one on the club's medal list?" Natsume Rin repeated in disbelief.
Even if he admitted that Yukino was good at technical sports and Mahiru might be physically strong, he still had a considerable advantage.
But the problem is that large societies have dozens of people, but they only have three.
"Don't let me down, let's start discussing the school festival now."
There was no time left for discussion, and Yukinoshita Yukino changed the topic without changing her expression.
"and many more……"
"Regarding the filming of the campus festival, my opinion remains the same, and I have brought video equipment from home, and I will be the photographer when the time comes."
"minister……"
"As for the script, if you agree with my documentary, then you don't need it. If you don't agree, then find a way to write something that satisfies me."
"……what?"
"And don't use your novel-writing mindset. We only have twenty minutes."
Her so-called documentary was to record the situation at Sobu High School. Natsume Rin shuddered at the thought of filming every location in the school in the summer.
This is simply a waste of life.
Let’s open a bounty for August!
In order to make a little money, no tickets are needed (Smith Marseille), 5000 cat coins or 50 blades for words, chapters in a silver box, in a gold box
Because I know what I am doing now, I won’t set a limit (pretending to type very fast)
The time limit is until the end of August, and then it will be paid off in September.
The current data is 2500 rewards and 63 blades. I will settle the account on the last day of August. By the way, I would like to ask for a subscription here. I will go to the northwest wind soon!
Chapter 76: Ying Lili, don’t do that kind of thing
In order to prevent her time from being wasted on such silly activities, Natsume Rin reluctantly nodded in agreement.
Mahiru, who had been blinking and observing their actions, raised her hand: "Yukinoshita-san, what should I do?"
"Hmm." Yukino couldn't think of a position for her right away. The most important script and photography roles had already been chosen, but it was not her idea to isolate the club members like this.
"If there is a heroine, how about Shiina-san taking on the role?" she said uncertainly.
It is not clear what kind of script Natsume Rin will come up with. Maybe she will give in and choose the documentary option at that time.
"No problem." Mahiru agreed quickly, her eyes moving towards Natsume.
With the configuration of these three people, if she were to play the female lead, it would seem that the male lead would have no problem thinking about it.
Natsume Rin maintained a calm smile on the surface, although he had already warned Minister Yukinoshita a hundred times in his heart. Only now did he realize that the person who caused him the most trouble was the quietest Yukino.
After discussing the campus festival, since there was still a long time before the official start, they were all in a relaxed mood and left the activity room talking and laughing.
