Chapter 83: Shiki’s “Gifts”

"Shiki, you kid..."

Nanaya could guess who was teasing him without even turning his head.

"Haha, why do you look so unhappy? Could it be that I was right?" Shiki Matsuno pulled his female companion in front of Nanaya with a cunning smile on his face.

Nanaya's best friend wore formal clothes today, which was rare for him, but his hairstyle was still as flamboyant as ever.

"You are here just to make fun of me, right?" Nanaya rolled his eyes and l...

Chapter 82: The Japanese Oscars Open

The Japan Academy Awards, also known as the Japanese Oscars.

It can be said that this award is almost entirely copied from the American Academy Awards, from its name to the award process and ceremony.

The award organizers almost copied this world-class North American award to Japan by pressing Ctrl+v.

However, unlike the authority of the North American Academy Awards, the Japanese Oscars has been subject to doubts since its inception.

The reason for this has to do with...

Chapter 81 Luvia Audition

Luvia herself was a little nervous. To be the leading actress in a big-budget movie was a rare opportunity for her.

"Hey, Luvia. I'll lean towards you both in terms of image and emotion."

This was what my senior director said to me when they secretly talked to me before the audition.

But Luvia knew very well that her position as the leading actress was not a sure thing. In fact, the director had never told her that it was completely confirmed. After working with him for seve...

Chapter 80 The Weak Gorilla

Next, the male actors came out one by one and started the audition.

The two passerby judges had no expression on their faces, as if they were saying "I'm just watching and not saying anything."

Nanaya and Washimine Shion showed serious expressions, but Nanaya's eyes were a little teasing, while Washimine Shion's were more of a scrutiny.

In order to demonstrate his "fairness", Nanaya first called on several auditioned actors who had accompanied the prince in his stu...

Chapter 79 The audition begins

If there was any choice, Washimine Shion would never agree to the "Goblin Slayer" project.

Unfortunately, time can never be reversed, and there are no ifs in the world.

So she had to sit in on the audition session and observe the performance of the auditioning actors with director Nanaya.

Although Nanaya said that Washimine Shion has a veto power as an investor, Washimine Shion is not naive enough to think that she will use this power.

The reason was simple, becau...

Chapter 78: Shion: I have never seen such a shameless person

In the end, Nanaya did not cut off the root of cause and effect as Ori suggested, and this result made Ori feel extremely regretful.

However, Ori had no time to care about the result, because Nanaya had already started to officially screen the actors. As a result, his assistant also started to get busy. Just sorting out the submitted actor information made him dizzy.

At this time, the casting of "Goblin Slayer" was not going well, although the $60 million movie...

Chapter 77 Onee-chan

What Ori did was not in vain. At least the boiling hot tea made Nanaya a little more sober.

"Okay, Sister Hoshisora, if you have any requests, please tell me directly."

Nanaya covered the back of his hand which was almost broken by the tea. This time he deliberately sat a little further away from his elder sister.

"How boring! I thought you, Nanaya, would be more interesting than Ori."

An expression of regret appeared on Hoshisora's face. She originally ...

Chapter 76 Backdoor

After completing all the tasks related to "Magical Girl Illya", Nanaya can finally free up his hands to start the preliminary preparations for "Goblin Slayer".

Nanaya has already asked the team of designers invited by Shion Washimine to prepare the design sketches of the characters and monsters. When the time comes, Nanaya will pick out a set of designs that he likes the most from several different designs and modify them.

What Nanaya needs to do now is to prepare s...

Chapter 75 Tokyo Bay is a good place

To be honest, Nanaya had already given up on Washimine's project.

After all, Washimine Shion's expression at that time didn't show much concern about Nanaya's proposal, and she seemed to be completely uninterested.

So even though the other party didn't say anything special on the spot, Nanaya himself felt that his proposal was unlikely to be accepted. After all, the idea of an R-rated movie is a bit radical, and it's understandable that Washimine, who has been committed ...

Chapter 74: A Turn of Events

Washimine Shion takes this film project much more seriously than others imagine.

Since taking over the company from her grandfather last year, Shion Washimine has been promoting the implementation of Washimine's entertainment diversification strategy.

Because Shion knew very well that there was no way out if they just made games, and the single product content would only limit Washimine to the field of games.

The failure of JGC has clearly told Washimine what the c...

Chapter 73 Nanaya: Why is it another difficult woman?

Although Nanaya already has an idea, it will take a lot of time to turn this idea into a written script, and time is already very tight.

After all, Nanaya is not Inoue Toshiki, nicknamed "Mingui". He cannot finish a movie script in three days.

Therefore, I must spend some time in seclusion writing for the next period of time, but——

Nanaya looked at the crew members of "Magic Illya" around him, and finally set his eyes on his junior brother Ryougi Ori.

Chapter 72 Change of Thinking

Currently, Nanaya is filming the last important battle of "Magical Girl Illya", which is also the final battle scene of the entire drama - the battle with Gilgamesh.

In fact, Nanaya originally wanted to change Gilgamesh into the Great Emperor or Angra Mainyu, but after designing several action scenes and finding that they were not very coordinated, he finally changed it back to the original Gilgamesh.

Similar to the original novel, this battle is divided into two parts. The f...

Chapter 71: Too Powerful Opponent

Bang!

Nanaya’s head was patted by Ori.

"ah?"

Nanaya, awakened from his own thoughts, looked at Ori in confusion.

Ori put his hands on his hips and said to Nanaya angrily: "Mo~ How can a director be distracted on the set?!"

"Sorry, I was thinking about something." Nanaya shook his head, as if trying to get rid of these things from his mind, "It's my fault, I won't do this again."

"Come on, this is the 63rd time you've made this promise ...

Chapter 70 Young Female Chairman

Washimine Shion is an intellectual woman with long green hair and red eyes. As the chairman of a large company, she looks more friendly than Ms. Hoshizora, the president of J Company whom Nanaya met at the awards ceremony before.

But Nanaya did not dare to underestimate this smiling lady. Since she could become the chairman of a large company, she must have her strengths. Not to mention that she was also the investor of this project, that is, the major sponsor.

Washimine...

Chapter 69: All the adapted movies are good? How is that possible!

Chapter 69: All the adapted movies are good? How is that possible!

Lin Bao Company Building, still the familiar office, Nanaya, his teacher Hanai Ryuichi and his junior brother Ryougi Ori were sitting in the office waiting for other people from Lin Bao to come to discuss the project.

"Senior." Ori looked at Nanaya who was eager to try and asked, "You seem to be very excited."

"Well, although it's a movie adapted from a game, it's a 60 million dollar produ...

Chapter 68: In That Moneyless January

"Um, Chairman Ryutani , what did we do wrong to make you [Lin Bao] reject us?"

The young man who said this had a sad face, his tone was sad and fragile, and it looked like tears were about to flow out.

This pitiful man was looking for help at an old man sitting at the office desk in front of him.

【What a hassle...】

Ryutani Nobuyuki looked at the man in front of him with some distress. He was very upset to encounter this difficult matter on the first day of wor...

Chapter 67 The Priest Who Eats Tofu During Chinese New Year

After finishing the temple visit, Ori took Nanaya to a roadside izakaya for a midnight snack of chicken hotpot, which made up for the regret of not having a big meal at dinner on Nanaya.

The next two days were the New Year's days when everyone visited each other. As the head of the Ryougi family, Ryougi Shun brought his butler and driver, Morikawa Sugai, to visit everywhere.

As the next head of the Ryougi family, Ori stayed at home and received guests with her mothe...

Chapter 66 New Year's Bell

Ori stared at Nanaya blankly. This senior brother who had always acted cynical rarely showed his serious side in front of him, which made him a little uncomfortable. However, Ori was very grateful for Nanaya's recognition of him in his heart, because Nanaya was the first peer who understood and recognized him, and also his first friend.

After a long while, Ori smiled and said, "I don't know if I will regret it, because I don't know whether I am playing the role ...

Chapter 65: The Girl Named Ryougi Shiki

"Master Ori, Master Kiryu. We're here."

Nanaya followed Ori out of the car and found that they had arrived at a general hospital.

Ori didn't explain much, but took Nanaya into the inpatient building which was a little away from the other buildings.

Nanaya didn't say anything either, just quietly followed behind Ori, but he did have some ideas in his mind.

Under Ori's guidance, the two came to a single room on the 18th floor of the inpatient building.

Chapter 64 Kyoto Ryougi Family

After an unknown amount of time, the woman finally let go of her child. She turned her gaze to the dumbfounded Nanaya and smiled kindly, "Are you the Nanaya that Shiki mentioned? My name is Ryougi Kiyomi, and I'm Shiki's mother. Thank you for taking care of my child in Tokyo. I've been worried about her since her brother got into trouble."

"No, I am..."

But the woman didn't let Nanaya finish his words. After saying hello, she pulled Ori and walked straight towards t...

Chapter 63: Celebrating the New Year in Kyoto

Ori's hometown is Kyoto, a city in western Japan that is one of the important cities in the Osaka metropolitan area, one of the three largest metropolitan areas in Japan. It is also the city with the largest land area among all the prefectures and cities in Kyoto Prefecture.

This city has a long history. Kyoto has always been the capital of Japan from 794 AD when Emperor Kanmu moved the capital to Heian-kyo until 1868 AD when Tokyo was established as the capital.

This ancient city...

Chapter 62 Before the New Year

Although "Kara no Kyoukai" won the Best Actress trophy at the Hochi Film Awards, its performance in the following awards was not outstanding.

Among them, "Kara no Kyoukai" was completely defeated in the [Nikkan Sports Film Awards], and in the nominations for the subsequent Japanese veteran film award [Mainichi Film Awards], "Kara no Kyoukai" only received three nominations for Best Screenplay, Best Film and Best New Actress.

Nanaya didn't really care about the result of the Nikkan...

Chapter 61: Women’s Age is a Prohibition

Looking at the angry teacher, Nanaya felt a little uneasy. He stuck out his tongue at Hanai Ryuichi and didn't dare to say anything.

Nanaya believed that the teacher was not angry about the matter he and Shiki discussed, but the occasion in which they talked. After all, Hanai Ryuichi himself was not a gentleman, and he had eaten wild food many times.

Not to mention the fact that the teacher often took him to Ginza for entertainment, but the number of times he and th...

Chapter 60 About Beauty

Matsuno Shiki, when Nanaya heard this person's name for the first time, his first reaction was that this guy was looking for trouble with him and that's why he said this name on purpose.

But in fact, the guy in front of Nanaya was indeed called this name, and the origin of this name had basically nothing to do with Nanaya himself.

This guy who looks like he is just one step away from being a gangster is actually Nanaya's roommate in college. He can be considere...

Chapter 59 Award Ceremony

Tokyo Prince Hotel is a long-established luxury hotel located in the center of Tokyo.

Not only is it close to the city center, but JR Roppongi Station is only a 2-minute walk away. As a high-end tourist hotel, its location is simply perfect.

Of course, for people in the entertainment industry, this hotel is the venue for the Hochi Film Awards ceremony held here every December.

This banquet hall, which has been hosting its annual awards ceremony since 1976, once again became ...

Chapter 58 About the Award

After the joyful division of the spoils, [Erque Studio] moved on to the second topic of the meeting.

Nanaya pushed his glasses up again and said, "Everyone knows that it is already November, and something very important will happen in the next period of time."

"Snort."

Ori's reaction suddenly became strange. After hearing what Nanaya said, he blushed and snorted coldly.

"What happened in November?" Illya was very curious, "Is it preparing for Thanksgiving sal...

Chapter 57: Spoils Sharing Meeting

"As expected of Director Kiryu, he is well-deserved to be known as a man of great foresight."

"...Of course, I told you not to worry."

After hanging up the call from Trier's agent, Nanaya wiped the cold sweat from his forehead guiltily.

Nanaya herself had not expected that the confrontational emotions between Rin and Luvia could arouse the emotions of the fans so much that they even cheered on the spot.

"I always feel like I'll have another nickname for someone wh...

Chapter 56 If you don't sell handshake tickets, are you still an idol?!

An 11.5% viewership rating may not seem like much, but it is a far cry from prime-time shows.

But you have to know that the average highest rating of the next-door "Kamen Rider Kuuga" is only 11.8%, and the average rating is only 9.7%.

Admittedly, it is a bit unfair to compare the average ratings of the next-door show with the ratings of a single point during its peak period, but no matter what, as a special effects drama, the ratings of "Magical Girl Illya" are undoubtedly a succ...

Chapter 55: Explosion is over

Eventually, the clerk was driven away by Nanaya with the excuse that “if you’re dirty in your heart, don’t make other people dirty too.” After all, the current PTA can only protest a few times, and its power is far from being as great as it will be in the next few years.

They have no power to force the TV station to remove "Magical Girl Illya". After all, it's a rare opportunity to confront TV Asahi next door. How could TBS be willing to remove "Magical Girl Illya". Are the...

Chapter 54 About Clothing

Starting from the fifth episode, "Magical Girl Illya" entered a relatively important plot point in the first half of the season, which is the round-robin battle with the two class card heroes, Caster and Saber, at the Fuyuki City Bridge.

And Nanaya used a full three episodes to tell this part of the story, which is a very rare length even in special effects dramas.

Generally speaking, when special effects dramas describe more powerful bosses or enemies, they usually only use ...
