My Days in the AV Industry (15)

"Ota, come to my room."

Today was his first day back at the company after investigating the leaked video.

He had spent a warm evening with Mizuna last night, but fearing she might experience pain during her first time, they only cuddled and slept, without taking anything further. This morning, they took the bus to work together, entering the company building separately to avoid gossip. However, as soon as he entered his office, he was called to his room by Director Mizuna.

"This is for you." Mizuna was always direct and straightforward, handing him a large envelope without hesitation.

"Oh? Are you really going to fire me?" Before he even sat down, Director Mizuna crisply handed him a white envelope. He was momentarily stunned, but then understood what it meant.

"Take a look first. You're a contract employee of the company, so even if we fire you, we'll give you severance pay."

"Huh! A transfer? Transferring me to a branch?" Hearing Mizuna's tone suggest a change of heart, he opened the envelope and found a transfer letter.

Knowing he was being transferred to a branch, his heart immediately tightened!

Hunter Company has two branches in Tokyo—the headquarters is located in a bustling area, basically just a storefront, where only first and second-tier adult films are shot. However, given the current need for mass-produced adult films, the expensive workspace here is definitely insufficient, so like other companies, they set up branches in inexpensive suburban industrial parks to reduce costs.

Ren Le had, of course, heard about the branch. Since joining Hunter, he had worked under Mizuna, and at headquarters, he was practically thriving, enjoying an emperor-like lifestyle. Being transferred to a branch office would mean two problems: firstly, not knowing the actual situation there, and secondly, hearing that it's hierarchical, and as a newcomer without a high-ranking person like Director Mizuna to look after me, it would be like a stone thrown into water—impossible to recover from.

"Director, are you kidding me? If you transfer me to the branch office, who will shoot your films here?"

"Who's kidding you? You're reporting for duty tomorrow. This is none of my business. It's your fault for offending that bastard Watanabe. I can't interfere with personnel changes. You have two choices: either transfer or resign. But you're a contract employee; if you don't work, you'll have to pay compensation."

(Ren Le is still a university student, only working part-time shooting films during the summer, but Mizuna has signed him to a contract. Even after the semester starts, he'll be assigned to filming and production outside of classes.)

"Can't interfere? You're the director! How can you not manage this? Just say you have several films that require continuous shooting, and that'll be enough!"

"Do you still think I can control everything? The higher-ups have already limited my power. Even Minister Uda can't interfere much. I... I'm already in dire straits, understand?" Seeing Ren Le's angry roar, Mizuna Sanae retorted without backing down, but her last sentence sounded weak and powerless.

"I'm sorry, Mizuna-nee! I rejected that bastard Watanabe yesterday. He probably sees me as a thorn in his side now. You've shouldered a lot of responsibility in this incident. It's not a big deal if I get fired, but it's not worth it if you get dragged into it too."

Seeing Mizuna's weak words, Ren Le understood her meaning. He knew this wasn't the time for infighting. The leaked video would affect him to some extent. Firing a lowly male actor wasn't a big deal, and Mizuna Sanae must have weathered a lot of storms. So, Ren Le wisely shut up and tried to appease her.

"Watanabe and his team aren't fools. They didn't want to fire you, so they just kicked you out to avoid making a scene. That's why they held back. But that wasn't the end of it. They transferred you away, taking you away from me so I'd be helpless and unable to do anything at work."

Watanabe Michihisa is the head of the personnel department. Although he and Mizuna are both under the jurisdiction of Manager Uda, and their functions are different, he still has a certain degree of autonomy in personnel allocation. Mizuna Sanae can't interfere arbitrarily.

"Most of Watanabe's people are at the branch office, so you'll definitely be manipulated by them when you're transferred there. But don't worry, because there's someone there who might be able to help you escape this predicament. However, it depends on your luck and whether you can gain his favor."

"Who?"

Ren Le was very curious. Who had such extraordinary abilities that even Watanabe had to give them some leeway?

"You don't need to know now, you'll understand when you get there. You'd better tone down your arrogance and not offend anyone; things outside aren't as good as here." Mizuna tried to appear relaxed, feigning mystery, but her eyes flickered strangely. This odd expression couldn't escape Ren Le's notice.

This Mizuna Sanae is really something, always leaving things unsaid. Who is this mysterious figure so powerful that they can withstand Watanabe's henchmen? She doesn't even give a clear answer, just telling people to be careful, to see how things go. It's all for nothing, ugh!

Ren Le was still brooding over the transfer, but thankfully his younger sister, Mizuna Nozomi, knew he was being transferred. Although she had questioned her sister, it was to no avail. She

came over that night and kept him company, offering him her full attention and making him feel good all night, which was some consolation.

The next morning, Ren Le took a bus to the suburban branch. The rented location was already quite remote, but it would have been acceptable if I were going to the headquarters. However, starting today, I'm being transferred to the branch office. First, a 15-minute bus ride to the light rail station, then a 30-minute light rail ride, followed by another 30-minute bus ride, and finally the branch office. Even without traffic, it's about an hour and a half away. Luckily, I don't have to walk; it's all stop-from-stop. The branch office is just a short walk from the station, less than five minutes away.

"Hey, what's up? What's up?"

Stepping out of the station, this was my first time in the suburbs since arriving in Tokyo. The surrounding area was mostly industrial buildings, but the industrial noise wasn't too bothersome; it was surprisingly quiet, with only the sounds of trucks coming and going. I later learned that this area mainly caters to light industry and high-end businesses. Although the location is remote, it's close to Tokyo, so heavy industry can't be established, resulting in lower rents and attracting some businesses.

Following the address, I finally found the branch office, a four-story building of about 600 square meters, not particularly eye-catching or large in this area. The exterior was just an ordinary brick wall, except for the ubiquitous security cameras around the perimeter, two large gates at the front and back, and a few security guards. It seemed inconspicuous, but it was anything but simple.

"Hello! I'm transferred from headquarters, here to report for duty." Even with the two guard dogs giving him the sidelong glances, he could only speak humbly, like a tiger fallen to the plains.

"This is your temporary card. Go in and take the elevator directly to the fourth floor. You can't enter other floors, so don't wander around. Be sure to return the card when you come out." After reviewing the transfer letter and checking with HR on the walkie-talkie, and finding no problems, they issued a temporary card and let Ren Le in.

The exterior was ordinary, and the lobby on the first floor was even simpler. The signs only indicated an underground parking lot, a reception area on the first floor, filming studios on the second and third floors, and offices on the fourth floor. Aside from these, there was nothing special; it even felt somewhat shabby and shabby.

However, if you pay close attention, you'll find that the security is actually even tighter than outside. There's a security checkpoint in the first-floor corridor, and cameras are positioned around the corridor, making the security even more rigorous.

Because filming AVs also requires extras or background characters, some unemployed people are recruited to join the filming. These people are first arranged to wait for notification in the lounge at the other end of the lobby, with a security guard at the door to prevent them from wandering around or going upstairs. Just now, as I passed by that door, I saw quite a few people squatting or sitting inside, smoking or chatting.

"Hey, young man, can you help me move these?" Just as I was about to go inside, I suddenly heard someone call out from behind. I turned around and saw a man in his fifties carrying two large boxes from outside.

"You're carrying these two boxes by yourself? Why didn't you ask someone for help?" Although he was grumbling, Ren Le went over to help carry one of the boxes.

"There's a driver, he's parking, and I couldn't wait, so I carried them in by myself first." The man said casually, not caring much.

"What's this? It's a bit heavy." Ren Le asked, carrying another box, puzzled.

"Nothing much, just some props. Okay, just carry it to the security checkpoint." The uncle assumed Ren Le was just a background character or extra, so he warned him not to cross the checkpoint to avoid being misunderstood. If he messed around and got caught by security, he wouldn't be able to work here anymore.

"I think you've misunderstood. I'm newly transferred from headquarters, and today is my first day." It's understandable that people misunderstand; Ren Le put the temporary card in his pocket instead of carrying it.

"Oh? You're transferred from headquarters? It's rare for a branch office to transfer to headquarters, not the other way around. You're quite unusual." The uncle's eyes flashed, a strange look passing over him.

"Oh well, what can I do... Never mind, I'll help you carry it in!" With a sigh, Ren Le didn't want to bring it up again and continued helping the uncle move another large box...

"Matsunaga Consultant, why are you the only one doing this? Where are the others?" The elevator stopped on the third floor. Someone saw the uncle moving things and, more surprised than surprised, quickly went to help.

But the man's words, "Matsunaga Consultant," made Ren Le even more bewildered. How could a consultant do such heavy work? And this easygoing uncle didn't seem like a consultant at all. Had he misheard?

"Alright, thank you, young man." Looking at the uncle's smile, after the elevator doors slowly closed, Ren Le was still completely confused.

Don't be fooled by the ordinary-looking exterior of this AV giant's branch building. The security measures inside are top-notch. All four floors have glass doors with card access, and each entrance has a security guard and a female clerk stationed there. The level of security is anything but relaxed.

The fourth-floor office area is essentially a general overview, similar to the headquarters. It includes meeting rooms, operations, human resources, finance, and more—basically, all the logistical support is handled here. The only difference is that this area is much larger and busier than the headquarters. After asking around, I headed to the human resources office to check in.

"You're Ota Renraku, transferred from headquarters? You're here to be an adult film actor? But our staff is fully booked, there's not much work for you!" Arriving at the fourth-floor office, a bespectacled man looked at Renraku's transfer letter with disdain. He was Lin Zhizhang, the personnel manager in charge of the branch. That contemptuous look made Renraku feel extremely annoyed. If there was no work here, why transfer me? They're clearly just messing with me.

"Hey! Saijo, that adult film actor from headquarters—Ota Renraku—is here to report for duty. He'll be working with you for now." Suddenly, a fat man with a greasy face barged in, and Lin Zhizhang called out to him loudly.

"Oh! That brat Watanabe kicked over!" Just as the fat Saijo asked in confusion, Lin Zhizhang stopped him with a sharp look. Renraku, of course, understood, but pretended not to hear.

"Kid, go down to the second floor and report for duty. Director Saijo will arrange your work in a bit. Also, this is your work pass; it's for personal use only and absolutely cannot be lent out." Perhaps afraid Saijo might say something wrong, Lin Zhizhang quickly processed Ren Le's paperwork and sent him away.

"Watanabe told us to mess with him?"

It turned out that this fat Saijo was one of the directors here—Saijo Kiyohide. Because he had a particular fondness for shunv (older women), he mainly filmed shunv married women scenes.

"That's right. Anyway, don't kick him out yet. Slowly mess with him, then find a scapegoat for him, the worse the better." Lin Zhizhang adjusted his crooked glasses and said with a sly grin.

"Okay, no problem!" Fat Saijo responded with a sly smile, then grabbed some personnel documents and hurriedly left.

;;;Being inexplicably assigned to the second floor again, Ren Le, feeling annoyed, could only silently curse Lin Zhizhang and that Director Saijo. Although he was only a short-term contract employee, he was still a contracted employee of the company. But this branch wasn't Mizuna Sanae's territory, and the Hunters were backed by an unknown yakuza group. He had no right to throw a tantrum; he could only endure it.

;;;"Hey! Kid, what are you doing here again?"

;;;"What do you mean, here again? I already told you, I'm a contracted actor here, of course I'll be here." He swiped his card and went through the glass door. Since it was his first day, he was naturally introduced to the staff before entering. He saw the consultant uncle he had been addressed earlier was also there. Ren Le greeted him with a still annoyed expression.

;;;"What's wrong? You've been covered in dirt, looking disheveled and listless." The uncle was watching his subordinates inspect the props that had been brought in; they turned out to be some office supplies from an outside company.

"Sigh! Don't even mention it. My days are going to be miserable, utterly dark!"

"Oh? Then try to think more positively. As long as you follow the rules, no one can do anything to you. Hey, that big bed over there needs to be moved. Be careful not to break it. And don't scratch that table over there; it'll be in the shot later." The uncle remained amiable, though he sometimes loudly directed everyone's orderly work, completely unconcerned about anything else.

It was only then that I realized the uncle in front of me was quite something. Everyone followed his instructions diligently without complaint.

"Uncle, you're quite a leader, aren't you? They all call you consultant and listen to your commands!"

"What? Are you starting to doubt me?"

"No, no, it's just that seeing your work attitude, I didn't realize the branch office's work was even more meticulous and thorough than headquarters'." Watching everyone bustling about, I realized the branch office's workflow and division of labor were anything but sloppy.

"Hehe! You think the people in our branch only know how to eat, drink, and have fun, and are lazy at work? If you're interested, go out and ask around about our branch. You can say it's even more serious and rigorous than headquarters. You should know that our company's films are mass-produced and published. More than 80% of our films come from here. Only in this way can we compete with our competitors outside." The consultant uncle revealed a smug look, spitting out saliva incessantly.

Wow! I already knew that Hunters produced no less than 30 films a month, almost one AV a day, and most of them were produced at the branch.

"I recognize you. You're the male lead in that video that recently leaked online, and also the new male actor Mizuna Sanae recruited."

"Advisor, you recognize me?" The more she listened, the more convinced she became that this middle-aged man was the mysterious figure Mizuna had mentioned. Although the leaked video didn't have a significant impact on the company, it still garnered a large audience. The fact that this advisor recognized her and brought it up clearly indicated he had something to say.

"Hmph, I'm an advisor here, so of course I have to keep an eye on things related to the company. Mizuna, this kind of 'real case investigation' production is indeed a perennial topic, but many in the industry do this. To maintain a certain output, you have to withstand the scrutiny of the audience; you can't fake it. Otherwise, you should know the consequences."

Indeed, most so-called 'real case investigations' these days are fabricated. Many discerning viewers can watch them more than ten times, specifically looking for fabricated scenes, and then share them with fellow enthusiasts, as if it were a kind of detective's glory. The consequences not only severely impacted the film's sales but also damaged the company's reputation, further affecting the sales of other films.

Fortunately, this investigation case wasn't fabricated, and viewers couldn't find any obvious flaws. This consultant was indeed impressive; he could even speak eloquently about Mizuna Sanae's mental budget. Ren Le, quick-witted, pressed on, "Consultant, I have a question for you. For our AV films, what topics are truly enduring? Even investigation cases like this are often repetitive. More importantly, it's rare to find genuine cases like this, which leads to fake films."

"Hehe!" The consultant chuckled, knowing Ren Le was testing him. He paused, a glint in his eyes, and said, "Young man, what's the difference between the filming locations at our branch and headquarters?"

This question turned the tables on Ren Le. This four-story building, approximately 600 square meters, actually only had its second and third floors used for filming. Moreover, it had been divided into several smaller locations of varying sizes. It was practically identical to the filming location at headquarters, except for some changes in the environment.

"Right! The filming location setup is different." Suddenly realizing this, Ren Le understood that this was the difference between the branch office and headquarters—essentially, the difference between a store and a factory.

"Hehe, you noticed too. That's right, headquarters is just a front for the store. Although it also has locations for filming and producing AVs, it's mostly used for Nvy0u promotion or special effects production, so the storefront decoration naturally has to be impressive. Come with me, let me show you what this place really looks like!"

With a wave of his hand, the consultant led Ren Le to the inner room on the second floor. Because it had been divided into several different small sets, Ren Le had only chatted at the entrance and hadn't gone inside to see the other locations.

"Wow! This is…" Around a corner, a bright white light revealed a brightly lit hospital room. Three large beds were laid out before him, almost identical to his own hospital room, complete with beds, curtains, and even a nurse's trolley. You'd never guess that this set, so perfectly replicated from a real hospital room, was entirely constructed of wooden planks. While the outside appeared simple and rough, the inside was a remarkably lifelike imitation, even incorporating real objects.

Don't think this was the only filming location. Passing the adjacent set panel, you'd find a doctor's office—clearly a set for filming female doctors and nurses. Wow! The doctor's desk, screen, examination bed, and X-ray machine were exactly the same as the medical examination room outside, making it feel like being inside a hospital.

"Hehe, aren't you surprised!"

"Uncle, you guys are exaggerating! Did you bring the whole hospital here?"

"Didn't you just ask me which themes are always popular? Medical care is definitely a must, so the main decorations on the second floor are mostly related to medical care. These props were salvaged from a bankrupt private hospital a few years ago, meaning they're all real." "

Amazing! No wonder the backgrounds of the medical care series I watched before looked so realistic. I thought they were all filmed in hospitals!" Ren Le, surprised, carefully examined the set. The diagnostic machine's lights were dazzling, and there were several X-ray films next to it, perfectly capable of diagnosis and examination.

"That's right, the previous medical series did indeed use some hospital clinics or wards for filming AVs. Unfortunately, nowadays, viewers are not only sharp-eyed, but with the development of the internet, some people can easily figure out which hospital we filmed in, and then upload it online... Just think about the consequences!"

Although the country has an open attitude towards the AV industry, it doesn't mean that society fully accepts this industry. There are even some organizations protesting the country's excessive openness to this industry and demanding stricter regulations. Therefore, it's still necessary to carefully select outdoor locations for special series. Being involved in public places like hospitals can easily cause offense and trouble. To avoid such unnecessary trouble, having your own dedicated filming location is best.

"Uncle, if I'm not mistaken, the second floor is mainly for medical series filming, then the third floor should be mainly for school girl series sets." Looking at the set layout, Ren Le suddenly thought of the filming location on the third floor.

"Hey, good lad, you've got a sharp mind!" The uncle blinked, staring at Ren Le with a hint of surprise. "That's right, the third floor is indeed mainly classrooms, with a health room, changing rooms, and even a sports storage room—all related to the school."

"What? A sports storage room?" He couldn't believe they even had that kind of place.

"Hehe, what's so strange about it? It's just a converted storage room. To capture the market, you need to fully understand its demands. Even the smallest details must be meticulously handled; you can't be careless."

Wow, is market competition really that fierce? Even the background and facilities require careful planning to secure a place as a hunter!

Just like that Hong Kong star's catchphrase—service attitudes these days are no good. To become a leader in the industry, you need investment and meticulousness in both software and hardware.

"Uncle, you're right. Don't think that just finding a so-called beautiful woman to strip naked will attract viewers' attention. Their demands are not only getting higher and higher, but also becoming increasingly segmented in all aspects. Only by constantly updating and innovating can a company stand at the top of this industry." Ren Le agreed with the consultant's meticulous requirements for work attitude. In fact, the audience's demands for AVs have now reached a point where they are chaotic, bizarre, and difficult to satisfy.

Taking the type of AV as an example, the first choices are—jur-type, pure-type, loli-type (young girl series), infatuated girl type, shun-type, etc.

Even the simple uniform series can be divided into—student, nurse, swimsuit, flight attendant, OL, etc. You even need to be prepared for traditional kimonos. No wonder the prosperity of the AV industry has also boosted related industries.

"Hmm, you're quick-witted, kid. No wonder Mizuna Sanae is paying attention to you. Looks like our AV industry has gained another talent." The consultant nodded in satisfaction, quite pleased with Ren Le's obsequiousness.

Ren Le scratched the back of his head, grinning smugly. He knew this person was definitely related to the mysterious figure Mizuna Sanae had mentioned. If he had this consultant looking after him, he wouldn't have to fear Watanabe's cunning bastards taking advantage of him.

"Matsunaga, there's something at the back staircase on the fourth floor. Could you come over for a moment?" The two were chatting animatedly when a young man rushed over to find the consultant. Not knowing what it was about, Ren Le, naturally curious and gossipy, followed him eagerly…
