Movie Queen Development Plan

"Shareholder?"

Nanaya exclaimed.

"Yes, I have taken back 66.7% of the shares from Illya. Now I am not asking you as a partner, but as a shareholder."

Kiritsugu had a calm expression, as if he was just stating an objective fact.

"That's Illya..."

"Illya is still a minor. As her guardian, I certainly have the authority."

Kiritsugu's mouth curled up, he finally turned the tables on Nanaya.

"Now you have two choices, either you do the Kara project obediently, or you get fired by your own studio."

"They won't accept it..."

"Then let them get out together!"

Nanaya was interrupted again by Kiritsugu.

This time, Kiritsugu emphasized his tone: "There are countless people who want to enter this circle, and we don't need people like you! Of course, you can also start your own business, but don't forget that the copyright of your work is in the hands of the studio."

Nanaya understood what Kiritsugu meant. The most valuable thing of [Erque Studio] was the copyrights of the two works "Kara no Kyoukai" and "Magical Illya" directed by Nanaya.

If Nanaya and others leave the studio, without the blessing of their works they will just be ordinary creators.

More importantly, the copyrights of many of the characters in Fate that Nanaya cares about the most are currently included in "Magical Illya".

"Do you think this is a threat?"

Nanaya's hands were shaking slightly.

"If you think it's a threat, then it is."

Kiritsugu didn't think he had done anything wrong. In his opinion, he was using the beatings of society to teach the naughty child a lesson.

Perhaps it was the success of "Goblin Slayer" that made Nanaya, a kid who can't even walk steadily, think about running and actually come up with such an unreliable plan.

Kiritsugu analyzed the success of "Goblin Slayer" and believed that there were too many accidental factors. If it happened again, he did not think that Nanaya would be able to replicate its success.

But the kid in front of him didn't think so at all. This ignorant kid regarded this coincidence as his own talent.

This is not good. Maybe Illya will be led astray by this guy in the future.

Therefore, Kiritsugu felt that as Nanaya's elder, he needed to let Nanaya know what is right.

However, this was not the result that Nanaya wanted.

Nanaya doesn't think Kiritsugu did anything wrong. If their identities were reversed, Nanaya would probably make the same choice.

After all, apart from Nanaya, no one could believe that this gal game project originated from R18 would eventually become a super IP with a krypton gold volume of 50 billion US dollars.

Kiritsugu, who has just taken over, will certainly tend to have a conservative management style, so it is understandable that he has doubts about the development of the new IP.

However, there is still a huge gap between understanding and acceptance.

"Just work on "Kara no Kyoukai" and when the time is right, I will let you develop this project."

The tone in which Kiritsugu said this reminded Nanaya of those parents who said, "I'll help you save your New Year's money."

However, no matter whether Kiritsugu will agree to Fate's plan in the future, Nanaya himself can't wait any longer.

Now is the best time for Fate to become a world-class IP.

Relying on the success of "Goblin Slayer", Nanaya can use his identity as a successful director to make European and American audiences accept the Fate series.

In the next few years, the rise of superhero IP will make the promotion of Fate more difficult exponentially.

"Let me think about it."

Nanaya didn't say anything else, he knew that if he continued to argue with Kiritsugu, nothing would change.

"I'll wait for you to think it over, then come find me."

Kiritsugu nodded. He knew that Nanaya must be in a bad mood, so he didn't force her too much.

Nanaya took a step and walked out of the office.

"What a difficult child, I finally managed to deal with him."

After Nanaya left the office, Kiritsugu slumped in his chair.

He wiped the sweat off his face and called Iris who was far away in North America.

"Kiritsugu? What do you want from me?"

Irisviel answered the phone.

"Ah, I'm finally done with my work, so I wanted to report to you."

Kiritsugu recounted the recent events.

"Are you an idiot——?!"

After hearing what Kiritsugu said, Irisviel went berserk.

"Do you think Nanaya-chan is the same age as Illya-chan?! He's an adult!"

Irisviel on the other end of the phone held her forehead with one hand, she felt as if she was unable to carry on.

"Do you think what I did was wrong?" Kiritsugu shrank his head unconsciously.

He was only afraid of two people in his life, one was his daughter Illya, and the other was his wife Irisviel.

"Your choice is fine, but your approach is wrong!" Iris said angrily, "You are forcing him to make a choice!"

"So..."

Irisviel said angrily, "Why don't you just tell him that the company can't raise the funds and let Nanaya-chan go get sponsorship himself? When he finds out that he can't raise the funds, Nanaya-chan will give up on his own."

Irisviel spoke to Kiritsugu again, and it was not until nearly 30 minutes that she finished scolding her husband.

"Really? None of these men give me peace of mind."

Irisviel hung up the phone, her face full of distress as she supported her cheeks with her arms against her chest.

"I hope Nanaya-chan won't do anything extreme... But I'm sure Shion-chan won't let go of this opportunity... It's troublesome."

Alice suddenly had a bad feeling.

————————————————————————

After leaving Kiritsugu's office, Nanaya did not stop. He strode out of Lin Bao's workplace building and strolled on the crowded street.

It was already May, and it was rainy in Tokyo, which had already entered spring. There were puddles of water even on the roads.

Nanaya was in a very heavy mood at the moment, and he didn't even mind that his feet stepped into puddles and his trouser legs were stained with mud.

What happened in Kiritsugu's office was a huge blow to him. He originally thought that after the success of "Kara no Kyoukai" and "Goblin Slayer", he had the capital to negotiate with investors.

However, Kiritsugu used his actions to tell Nanaya that no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't create freely.

In the eyes of those capital tycoons, he is still just a tool.

"I'm in a terrible mood, do you want to go have a drink?"

Nanaya stood at the crossroads, his face full of confusion.

Although he had made up his mind not to drink anymore a long time ago, at this moment Nanaya still hoped to numb himself with alcohol.

only,

So what if I'm paralyzed?

When he sobers up, he still has to face this shitty situation. Being drunk will not fundamentally solve the current situation, it will only leave him with a hangover the next day.

"Want to compromise?"

Nanaya shook his head. He had compromised enough times in his previous life. In this life, he wanted to give it another try no matter what.

But what if we don't compromise?

Nanaya, who has experienced society, knows very well that the world never revolves around one person. When you enjoy resources, you must pay some price.

Nanaya believed that there must be countless people behind him waiting to replace him.

Those people definitely don't care whether they are filming "Kara no Kyoukai" or "Fate".

As long as there is a chance, they will try every means to get this opportunity to stand out.

Compared to them, Nanaya is much better.

However, it is not enough.

"You want to take advantage, but you don't want to cause trouble. It turns out that humans are greedy animals."

The green light came on and Nanaya followed the flow of people to the other side.

"As expected, let's go find a place to have a drink first. Should we call Rin out?"

Nanaya thought about it and rejected this decision. It would be bad if the other person was working.

So, in the end, Nanaya was just like a dog, walking alone on the street.

They say the weather in June is like a baby's face, changing at any time.

But the weather in May was not bad. Nanaya had not been walking on the road for twenty minutes when raindrops began to fall from the already gloomy sky.

The patter of raindrops hit the asphalt road, forming wet spots that were neither big nor small, making people feel extremely uncomfortable.

Some of the people around who had umbrellas opened their umbrellas directly, while others who didn't have umbrellas ran faster, trying to find a place to shelter from the rain.

Nanaya, who neither held an umbrella nor ran, looked like an alien.

But Nanaya still went his own way. He ignored the strange looks from others around him and continued walking slowly on the street.

[It's nice to get caught in the rain occasionally. ]

Nanaya thought so and felt that he really needed to use water to calm himself down.

As for whether he would catch a cold tomorrow, Nanaya didn't care about that at all.

[Do you want to be a little bit second-year? ]

For no apparent reason, Nanaya suddenly wanted to look up to the sky and let out a long howl, shouting "This world is so big, where can I find my place?"

Perhaps "Don't despise the young and poor" is also true.

I just hope there are no paparazzi around, otherwise it would be bad if there were articles like "Shocking! The 80 billion director turned into a psychopath, and the reason was this!"

Nanaya, who was thinking with his head down, didn't even look at the road ahead. It was not until he bumped into a pedestrian on the opposite side that he realized he was still on the road.

"Feel sorry."

Nanaya didn't even raise his head. He was about to leave by a detour, but the other party grabbed him.

"Um?"

Nanaya, who originally thought that the other party wanted to cause trouble for him, frowned slightly. In a bad mood, he was ready to shake off the passerby.

"Senior?"

The other party's shout startled Nanaya. He looked in the direction of the voice, and the other party's familiar face left Nanaya speechless.

"It's really Kiryu-senpai."

The other person covered his mouth, fearing that he would suddenly burst into tears.

"Sakura?"

The woman standing in front of him holding an umbrella was none other than his ex-girlfriend, Nanaya Kiryu, Sakura Shimoya.
