Movie Queen Development Plan

Although he promised to treat Ryougi Shiki to a meal, Nanaya certainly couldn't invite only her.

As a reward for several months of filming, Nanaya paid for a meal for the entire crew at the Four Seasons Hotel.

Of course, Nanaya is not as rich as the proprietress Shion, who can book a banquet hall for a buffet.

So Nanaya only set up three tables of banquet to entertain the members of the "Kara no Kyoukai" crew.

After all, many of the employees in the crew have long-term cooperative relationships, and Nanaya hopes to increase team cohesion through this kind of dinner party.

In addition, it is almost the end of the year, so this meal can be regarded as the annual dinner of [Erque Studio].

Even several members of Trier joined the dinner.

The only regret is that Ori and Luvia are not there, otherwise it would really be a happy ending.

Luvia is in the United States, so it is impossible for her to fly back to Japan just for a meal.

And Ori had to return to Kyoto because of some urgent matters in his hometown.

In fact, Shiki should have gone back, but she considered that if she was not allowed to eat this meal, she would probably make a fuss again.

Ori, who was afraid of trouble, just left his sister to Nanaya.

At the table, everyone was toasting and chatting. Even the little kids who couldn't drink were drinking juice and sharing their experiences of the year.

Everyone was very happy except Ryougi Shiki who seemed a little unhappy.

"I thought you were only inviting one person, Senior? I'm looking forward to a candlelight dinner or something."

Despite her complaints, Ryougi Shiki stuffed her food into her mouth quite quickly.

"Be content, young lady." Nanaya tapped Shiki on the forehead, "I originally just wanted to take you to a barbecue, this time it's a waste of money."

"Don't mention the barbecue."

Subaru Ikeda snorted, "Ever since I had indigestion from eating barbecue two years ago, I don't dare to eat it anymore."

"Hmm…"

Ryougi Shiki puffed her lips and wanted to say something, but no sound came out because her cheeks were full of food.

Nanaya was speechless to this guy: "Just be a little more obedient."

"Director Nanaya."

At this time, Lily came over with a glass of juice in it: "Actually, my sister wanted to come over, but unfortunately she suddenly had work. Please don't mind, Mr. Kiryu."

"No, your explanation is totally unnecessary."

Nanaya replied, waving his hands.

"Wugu La Mi (Your sister is attracted to my brother's senior brother, right?)..."

Ryougi Shiki looked at Lily and muttered excitedly.

"Swallow it before you speak!"

Nanaya chopped down with his hand knife.

However, how could Ryougi Shiki repeat this sentence again? She did it on purpose.

Yoshinaga Yukari probably guessed what the woman wanted to say, but there was only a faint smile on her face.

[Very interesting~ Is this plot a secret competition? I wonder when we can see the real protagonist appear. ]

Well, just ignore this stuffy woman.

"Hey, senior."

Ryougi Shiki finally swallowed the food, but what she said this time was not the same as before.

"Will you come to my house for the New Year this year like you did in previous years?"

After saying this, Ryougi Shiki glanced at Lily with a smug look. She especially wanted to see the disappointed expression on Lily's face when Nanaya said "Yes".

[Little kitten, see, my home is this man's hometown. ]

Unfortunately, this time Nanaya let Shiki down.

"Well, I won't go to your house for the New Year this year." Nanaya said thoughtfully, "I haven't been back to my own home for the New Year for several years, so I want to go back to my hometown this year."

"Eh? Not going back to Kyoto?"

Ryougi Shiki opened her mouth wide, but even so she did not forget to put food in her mouth.

Nanaya nodded: "Yes, I haven't been back to my hometown since graduation. I should go back this year."

"Didn't you stay away for the past few years?"

"Because I don't want to cause any trouble, I have donated some money to my hometown this year. I think those guys in my hometown should know my attitude."

Nanaya crossed his arms and nodded his head as he answered that he really wanted to go home for the New Year this year.

Shion, who had been drinking silently in the distance, flashed a smile across her face after hearing Nanaya's words.

[Go back home?! ]

Lily's ears twitched slightly, and she silently wrote this down.

"Hey, Nanaya."

Shiki suddenly asked excitedly, "Can I also go to your hometown during the Chinese New Year?"

"It's just a poor mountain valley. What are you doing here?"

"Well~" Shiki laughed, "Because there will be some troubles at home during the New Year this year, so I want to avoid it. If it were you, Dad would definitely agree."

To Matsuno Shiki, Nanaya is probably the "other people's child".

Parents always want to see their children hanging out with good kids, so using Nanaya as a shield should be able to fool them.

"If you don't mind the poverty over there, there shouldn't be any problem."

"It's settled then!"

Shiki clapped his hands on the table excitedly. He could already foresee that his family would arrange a lot of blind dates for him during this year's New Year.

It was perfect to use this excuse to shut his mouth before his father brought up the matter.

"Um...Senior, I want to go too!"

Ryougi Shiki suddenly raised her hand. She didn't want her brother to fall behind his best friend.

"Um?"

Nanaya didn't react, but the next scene made him drop his jaw.

"I also want to meet Nanaya's parents. They must be great parents to have raised such an outstanding person like Nanaya, right?"

Shion hid her smile behind her folding fan, but her attitude was clearly expressed in her words.

"There's nothing good to see, they're just an ordinary couple." Nanaya always felt that there was something hidden behind this smile.

Lily raised her hand happily: "Me! Me! I want to go too! I want to experience the traditional Japanese New Year customs!"

"Then you should go to Shiki's hometown, Kyoto."

"I just want to experience civilian life more." Lily said naturally.

"Oh, are you all going?"

Miss Yoshinaga Yukari didn't know what she was thinking of, and her face flushed: "I want to go too. Mr. Director, I am not talented, please give me your guidance."

"Just stop making trouble."

Nanaya's face was full of black lines, and he didn't know what to say.

"You're really welcome, Flower Heart Senior."

Rin patted Nanaya's shoulder and said earnestly. Judging from her appearance, it seemed that she was originally planning to toast Nanaya.

"Why, do you want to come too?"

Rin laughed and said, "Forget it. There are too many people on the battlefield this time. Let's find a chance to meet alone next time."

"What?"

Nanaya's face was full of question marks, but Rin just clinked his wine glass with his.

"Anyway, I wish you a happy New Year in advance, Senior~"

Rin smiled and patted Nanaya on the back, then turned and left Nanaya's seat.

[I think I can have the New Year's Eve dinner in the countryside this time. Every time I celebrate the New Year, my family always eats buckwheat noodles, which are extremely bitter. I've already vomited from eating them.]

[It seems that we can learn more about Nanaya's past. Maybe we will find something unexpected. ]

[This should be a good opportunity for my sister, as long as both of them seize the opportunity! ]

[Finally I don't have to go on a blind date anymore, and it's nice to see the scenery in the countryside at the same time. ]

[Shura Field, Shura Field! Add to that the Emperor and Empress Dowager! This time there will definitely be some really good material!!]

Looking at the group of guys with different expressions at the table, Nanaya took a sip of wine.

The bitter taste in his mouth made Nanaya realize one thing: "I really still can't get used to drinking."

··

Although he had decided to go back to his hometown for the New Year, Nanaya couldn't just pack up and leave before late December.

After all, he still had a lot of work to do and it was impossible for him to give himself a half-month vacation.

The first is the post-production of "Remaining Sense of Pain" and "Paradox Spiral", which Nanaya has handed over to Tsuburaya, who is responsible for control and supervision.

However, the completion of the film was not very ideal for Nanaya.

Although due to cost reasons, he had already mentally expected the special effects to be poor.

But when he actually saw the finished product, he still felt depressed.

"Is this the best possible outcome?"

Even though he already knew the answer, Nanaya still couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, unless you use Washimine's team instead, this is the final result."

Li Wenshu was prepared to be blamed by Nanaya.

In fact, after last year's training, Lao Li himself was not very satisfied with the result. However, special effects are something you get what you pay for, and they cannot be faked.

"That's it, then."

Nanaya did not make things difficult for Li Wenshu, but he felt a little shadow in his heart about the FSN he made later.

[We will definitely have to invite a Hollywood team, but will Lin Bao agree? ]

When Nanaya thought about how difficult the negotiations in Kara no Kyoukai were, a trace of worry flashed through his mind.

[Perhaps we can bring Washimine over? Shion would probably like such a big-budget movie.]

Nanaya thinks that we can refer to the previous cooperation model of "Goblin Slayer", but these things will probably have to wait until the "Kara" trilogy is released.

"When are you going to release the movie?"

"'Remaining Sense of Pain' will probably be released in March, and 'Paradox Paradox Spiral' will probably be released at the end of next year."

Starting with "Overlooking the Scenery" and ending with "Paradox Paradox Spiral", it can be regarded as a complete story.

Although Mushroom once stated in an interview that the idea of ​​"Kara no Kyoukai" being serialized on the website was to consist of seven chapters, in fact, Nanaya feels that the trilogy structure is the core and backbone of "Kara no Kyoukai", and the contents of the other chapters are more to fill in the story of "Kara no Kyoukai" and the characters in it.

In Nanaya's earliest conception, he planned to finish filming all the stories of "Kara no Kyoukai" including "Future Gospel", and then use the complete IP of "Kara no Kyoukai" to gain the bargaining chip to produce his own FSN.

However, Nanaya found that his success was so fast that "Kara no Kyoukai" was no longer the core of his successful resume, but rather more like the icing on the cake.

Therefore, Nanaya decided to resolutely cut off the other chapters of "Kara no Kyoukai" and end it as a trilogy.

Of course, Nanaya will not be idle with the other chapters of "Kara no Kyoukai". After Fate is released in the future, they will be presented as extra chapters when the audience still misses "Kara no Kyoukai".

No matter whether it is a prequel, sequel or middle sequence of "Kara", as long as it carries the name of Ryougi Shiki, Nanaya believes that "Kara" will be as long-lasting as the "Godzilla" or "Zatoichi" series.

[In the future, the film "Kara no Kyoukai" may be directed by Ori and starred by Shiki. This may become the standard configuration of "Kara no Kyoukai" in the future. ]

Nanaya couldn't help but think as he looked at the scene in front of him.

"I thought you would come in January." Li Wenshu was a little surprised.

Lao Li's voice brought Nanaya out of his original thoughts. He shook his head and replied, "No, publicity takes time, and now it's award season, and the studio's work is all focused on winning awards for Goblin Slayer."

The award-winning preparations for "Goblin Slayer" began last month, and Nanaya has focused on various major film awards in Japan.

Lin Bao seems to be aiming to impact the North American awards season, but Nanaya is not optimistic about their results.

It's not just that the commercial film genre of "Goblin Slayer" is not suitable for awards, but more importantly, it's the aftereffects left by the commander-in-chief's film review when "Goblin Slayer" was released.

Thanks to this film review, "Goblin Slayer" earned more than 300 million yuan at the box office, but it also left a bad impression on the North American entertainment industry.

Although compared with that Corn Head, this gentleman with low IQ has at least not become the enemy of everyone.

But most people in Hollywood don't like guys like him who are aggressive and advocate war.

I guess North American filmmakers would vent their anger on the movies this gentleman likes.

But Nanaya has nothing to complain about. Without the help of this gentleman, the box office of "Goblin Slayer" would not be so high. It can only be said that it is difficult to have the best of both worlds.
