Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 197: Chapter 193 Washimine's New Partner



At the end of April, Nanaya came to Linbao with the FSN plan and submitted the Fate plan to Kiritsugu.

There are two reasons why Nanaya chose this time.

One is that the box office of "Remaining Pain" has already reached 6 billion yuan, which is the confidence for Nanaya to submit a new plan.

And based on the current box office trend, Nanaya believes that even if it cannot break 10 billion, reaching 9 billion yen should not be a problem.

As expected, Japan's box office curve is still strong, but the number is a little too small. After all, the exchange rate between the yen and the US dollar...

As for the other reason, it was because Lin Bao had finally completed the transition from Ryutani Nobuyuki to Ryutani Kiritsugu.

Although Kiritsugu's power has shrunk compared to the Nobuyuki period, he still holds the position of Linbao chairman.

And as time goes by, Kiritsugu might be able to slowly regain the power he lost.

For Nanaya, as long as someone from the Ryutani family is still sitting in the chairman's position, it's enough. After all, he has the label of the Ryutani family on him, so naturally he hopes that his people will win.

"I'm looking for Chairman Ryutani."

The Nanaya of today is no longer the unknown person who knew no one and needed identity verification before entering the chairman's office a few years ago.

In fact, ever since the success of "Overlooking the Scenery", his face has been remembered by the receptionists at Linbao.

Of course, those young ladies didn't want to hook up with Nanaya, the young and promising director, but because they needed to remember every big shot who had a close working relationship with Lin Bao, so as to avoid any unpleasant things happening because of their own reception problems.

After getting Kiritsugu's confirmation, Nanaya quickly entered the chairman's office under the guidance of a black-haired secretary.

"Go out for a moment. I want to talk to him alone."

Kiritsugu sat behind his desk, his chin resting on his hands, his eyes fixed on Nanaya.

"Okay, boss."

The serious-looking secretary did not express any questions. She just walked out and closed the door.

"It's really cold..."

Nanaya looked at the door and said slowly, if he didn't know that current technology could not reach that level, he would have thought that the secretary was a robot.

"Sit down."

Kiritsugu ignored Nanaya's comments about his secretary and nodded at the chair in front of his desk.

Nanaya sat down obediently and looked around the office.

Nanaya had been to this office several times when the previous owner was still in office, and was not unfamiliar with the decoration in the office.

I remember that when Ryutani Nobuyuki was still around, one of the cabinets on both sides of the office was filled with Lin Bao's past trophies and certificates, while the other was filled with Illya's toys and collections.

Now, all these things are gone in the office, replaced by some movie props and various photos from the set.

Judging from the fact that Irisviel appeared in almost every photo, Nanaya estimated that these were photos taken on the set when Kiritsugu was a director.

He remembered very clearly that when Kiritsugu first emerged, he was funded by Irisviel.

This is exactly the same as when Nanaya himself was in "Kara no Kyoukai" and received help from Illya.

In fact, Nanaya also saw Kiritsugu in a few of the photos, but the number was not large.

In the photo, Kiritsugu looked much younger than he does now with his unshaven beard, but Irisviel hadn't changed at all and was still as beautiful as ever.

Nanaya didn't know if it was because Kiritsugu worked too hard that he aged too quickly, or if Irisviel was naturally beautiful, or if Mrs. Irisviel took good care of herself?

"You are interested in these photos, right?" Kiritsugu asked, looking at Nanaya confidently.

"What?" Nanaya quickly shook his head: "No, I'm just wondering where Illya's things went."

"I asked Sera to clean it up and take it back home." Kiritsugu said, "I can't let Illya stay here for a long time. It will make me lose focus on my work."

"..."

Nanaya rolled his eyes, not sure whether to say that this daughter-obsessed man was dedicated to his job or had no self-control.

But at least the other party can still prioritize, right?

"So why did you come to see me today?"

Kiritsugu said this, and at this moment he looked a bit like his father-in-law, the "Movie Emperor".

"Well, the second chapter of Kara has already been released, and the post-production of the third chapter has been basically completed. So..."

Nanaya tried to keep his tone as calm as possible when speaking, making it seem as if he was just talking about how nice the weather was today.

"You want to prepare a new movie?" Kiritsugu raised his eyebrows. "Is it a new movie in the "Kara" series?"

"No, it's a new series."

Nanaya quickly took out the plan and handed it to Kiritsugu.

The other party glanced through it briefly and then threw the plan directly on the table.

"I'm sorry, but I can't agree to your proposal." Kiritsugu shook his head and said, "Your new project is too unrealistic. I hope you can continue to work on the new movie "Kara". As for the agreement, I can agree to follow the current plan for "Remaining Pain". "

Hearing Kiritsugu say this, Nanaya's heart skipped a beat.

However, Nanaya remained calm on the surface, and cautiously probed: "In my opinion, the story of "Kara no Kyoukai" should have been told."

"Then let's think about the prequel. How did Ryougi Shiki and Kokutou Mikiya know each other?"

Kiritsugu said that perhaps in his opinion this was a simple question that he could figure out without even thinking about it.

"But I hope the new film can tell a new story that's different."

Kiritsugu's expression turned gloomy, even though he didn't look very good at the beginning.

"I know what you're thinking. I had the same idea when I first became successful. I thought I was a child of destiny and that people would watch any movie I made. But the reality is that audiences are more looking forward to your old stories than your new ones."

Nanaya wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Kiritsugu.

"Listen to me, your project is totally unfeasible. The hundreds of millions of dollars is not something Lin Bao can afford. Even if Lin Bao really has the capital, he can't spend so much money on a little kid like you. That's not how management companies work!"

"So I didn't let Lin Bao pay for the main cost. My idea was to do the same as the previous Goblin Slayer, with Washimine paying for it, my studio producing it, and Lin Bao distributing it..."

Nanaya stopped talking before he finished, because Kiritsugu's expression became extremely ugly, even hideous.

"Are you teasing me? Or do you think you, Nanaya Kiryu, have such a high profile? If you make a move, our two families will definitely shake hands and make peace?!"

"What's wrong with me? Haven't we always been partners?"

Nanaya really had no idea what Kiritsugu was angry about, and he looked very confused at this moment.

Kiritsugu's eyes suddenly became very strange when he looked at Nanaya.

This look made Nanaya feel a little uncomfortable, because Kiritsugu seemed to think that he had said something very stupid.

But Nanaya thought about it again and again, and still didn't know what ignorant mistake he had made.

Kiritsugu stared at Nanaya for a long time, and suddenly he sighed.

"No wonder...it turns out you don't know anything."

"Know what?" Nanaya was a little annoyed.

Do you big shots like to leave things unsaid and let others guess?

Kiritsugu did not answer. He took out a newspaper from the drawer and threw it to Nanaya.

"See for yourself."

Nanaya unfolded the newspaper and found that there was an article that occupied most of the page.

In the center of the page there was a color photo showing Shion shaking hands with a middle-aged man whom Nanaya did not know, and it seemed that they had reached some kind of agreement.

Shion in the photo was smiling brightly, and Nanaya felt that she must have made a good deal.

All I saw was the headline of the news printed in bold, large black letters on the top of the newspaper.

"Dentsu X Washimine! The strongest alliance in Japanese history? Washimine Group may become the fifth largest film company in Japan? !"

—————————————————————————————————————————————— ————

"Thank you very much, President Matagi."

Shion had a bright smile on her face. She signed her name on an agreement and handed it to Iioka beside her.

In fact, the contents of the agreement had been fully agreed upon long time ago, and Shion's signature was more of a formality.

"No, I also want to thank Washimine for his help. I believe that this cooperation between us will be very pleasant."

The middle-aged man standing in front of Shion had his mouth curled up even more than Shion's. The others around him were really afraid that he would laugh his chin off.

The man whom Shion calls President Matagi is none other than the current president of Dentsu, Jun'o Matagi. This cooperation with Washimine is something that Dentsu has long dreamed of.

"Ms. Washimine, let's have lunch together. I have prepared a banquet specially for you."

Shion replied very politely: "Thank you, President Matagi. I will respectfully obey your orders."

"Sakutsuki, take Miss Washimine to the banquet venue. I will be there soon."

"Okay. Miss Washimine, this way please."

A young man nodded and agreed.

"Mr. Sakutsuki, you're too polite." Shion said with a smile, "You're Yumi-chan's father, so you don't have to be so reserved with me."

"No, I would also like to thank Miss Washimine for taking care of my daughter."

Sakutsuki was still respectful. He would not lose his manners because of his daughter. If he did, the president of his company would definitely throw him out of the office and would not even compensate him for his work injury.

"Iioka, how is our director?"

Shion took a step back and asked her assistant.

Sakutsuki very tactfully took two steps forward, putting some distance between himself and the other person so as to avoid hearing anything he shouldn't hear.

Iioka replied expressionlessly, "Director Kiryu went to Linbao yesterday. I heard that he was not very satisfied when he left."

"It's predictable, but I'm a little sad that he didn't call me."

"One more thing, boss."

"What?"

"The person you asked us to find is not where you said."

"Oh? Where?"

Shion stopped and seemed to be interested.

"In Tokyo."

Shion's face was full of joy, and in order to maintain her demeanor she had to cover her face with a folding fan.

"That's really... fate."
