Chapter 53 Ratings and Originality

The commercials between the two episodes of "Magical Girl Illya" didn't last too long, and the second episode started airing soon.

Illya, who has become a magical girl, wakes up from a nightmare. Although she has become a magical girl, Illya herself does not feel very real.

Although Tohsaka Rin formally introduced herself to Illya before leaving at night and told Illya about her mission to recycle the cards, Illya was still in a state of half-belief and half-doubt.

Afte...

Chapter 52 Don't Seek Death or You Will Die

Illya, an ordinary elementary school girl who attends the elementary school department of  Homurahara Academy, and many other elementary school girls have always admired the magical girls on TV.

One day, when she was out shopping at night (someone with a strong desire to survive changed the scene of meeting in the bathtub), she encountered the magic Ruby Kaleidoscope Wand that fell from the sky and claimed to be an artificial natural elf.

She was forced into a contract w...

Chapter 51: The Crowd

This was Nanaya's first time shooting a large-scale explosion scene. In previous scenes, there were basically only one or two explosion points, which could only be considered a touch of the truth. This time, it could almost be said that the entire set scenery area was blown up.

This explosion, including the cost of building the set, cost a total of nearly 10 million yen, which is already catching up with two-thirds of the original budget of "Kara no Kyoukai" Nanaya before.

Ho...

Chapter 50 Explosion is Art

"Okay, you two little guys, go change your clothes quickly."

After playing around, Nanaya reached out and rubbed the heads of the two girls at the same time, "Just finish this one first. Now you go back to your seats, we have to continue working. Also, the next filming is very dangerous, you must stay with the adults, do you hear me!"

"Hayi~"*2

The two little lolis, led by Rin and Luvia, went to the locker room to change their clothes.

And Nanaya also ended h...

Chapter 49 Pampering

The filming process of "Magical Girl Illya" was generally smooth. Although the actors were a little raw in their acting, considering that all the actors in this drama are newcomers, Nanaya can still tolerate these minor problems.

In addition, the early schedule of the "Magical Girl Illya" crew was relatively loose, so when filming the first few episodes, Nanaya began to consciously focus on cultivating the acting skills of these new actors.

What surprised Nanaya the most was ...

Chapter 48: Just Act Cute

Although Nanaya had feelings for Yumi in his heart, he did not show it.

God had no idea what kind of expression the woman in front of him would have after he revealed his attitude.

So after everyone exchanged a few pleasantries, Nanaya arranged a relatively simple audition for Yumi.

Basically, it is just to let this little Loli perform some simple performances and dances in front of the camera, so that the child can show her talents.

"Yumi performed very well. I w...

Chapter 47: Expectations from Mother

The blushing face of the little Loli in front of him greatly aroused Nanaya's inner desire to protect her. He subconsciously touched the little Loli's head gently with his hand.

Sada, who was standing aside, immediately warned: "Hey, Director Kiryu. Even if you are a new director, if you dare to do something to my child, I will call the police."

"How is it possible!"

Nanaya let go of his hand awkwardly. He would never admit that the scene of himself being taken away by ...

Chapter 46: Not Innocent Child

"Mr. Kiryu, what's wrong?"

When he found that Nanaya was looking at him, Tamari looked like a good boy.

Nanaya turned his head away: "No, nothing."

"oh."

Tamari didn't know that he was labeled as a pervert in Nanaya's mind. He looked around anxiously, and soon he saw the person he was looking for.

"Hey! Sada-senpai!"

Tamarishi shouted as he waved to the right in the corridor.

"Ah, Tamari. Long time no see. You are still as energetic as ...

Chapter 45 Problem Solving

Tohsaka Rin is not a girl who likes to cry. Since her father's death, she has never shown her weak side in front of outsiders.

She didn't cry even at her father's funeral, but she cried on this very ordinary day.

Since she was left with only her mother and her sister at home, Rin told herself every day to be strong. No matter in front of her mother or sister, no matter what difficulties she encountered, she always showed a confident smile.

But as a girl who went to Toky...

Chapter 44 Who are you?

"Good, that's it. It's over."

Nanaya held the director's baton and shouted to the other staff members, ending today's shoot amid the cheers of everyone.

The expressions on the faces of Fujimura Taiga, Illya, and Rin in the center of the venue also relaxed. They thanked each other and left the camera's range.

The staff who had been waiting for a long time immediately came forward and handed them towels and water.

"Thank you for your hard work today, Sister Fuji." 2024-09-09 16:06:59 +0000 UTC View Post

Chapter 43 The Reason for the Name

Tohsaka Rin never thought that she would be so lucky to be noticed by the new director Kiryu Nanaya and star in his TV series.

Originally, Rin thought that she was just a backup option chosen by the senior director named Kiryu Nanaya, and that she would have to participate in a very rigorous audition and compete for the role with other candidates.

However, to Rin's surprise, after just a few simple auditions, Senior Kiryu recognized her acting skills and took out a standard a...

Chapter 42: Old women should stop pretending to be young

Of course, Nanaya didn't have the courage to discuss bare feet and stockings in front of Ryutani Nobuyuki, otherwise he would be thrown out of the chairman's office window by the angry old man.

"In order to avoid interference from the PTA, we have revised the design ideas again." Nanaya introduced to everyone, "I divided the overall costume design into two directions, distinguishing the costume design of elementary school students from other characters. There are a total of fo...

Chapter 41 My name is Lao Li. What can I do for you?

The special drama "Magical Girl Illya" is a work funded by Nanaya's studio, Lin Bao and TBS TV station. It is certainly impossible for the other two parties to do nothing and just watch Nanaya busying around.

Because Nanaya's studio is currently just an empty shell, Lin Bao generously provided an office space. This not only provided Nanaya's studio with good office conditions, but also made it convenient for him to report his work to Lin Bao (Ryutani Nobuyuki himself).

Since ...

Chapter 40: Ape (♀) Ape (♀) Apes (♀) Apes (♀) Apes

Nanaya himself did not expect to meet Rin and Luvia in Trier, but this made him immediately decide on the actors even though he originally did not know who to choose.

However, the expression on the face of Trier's agent who accompanied Nanaya was as if he had been [beeped——] by a dog. The two young ladies, Red and Blue, were well-known troublemakers in the team. Basically, every time Trier was out for activities, these two would quarrel 9 times out of 10, and the remaining time...

Chapter 39: Rin Tohsaka goes to Kyoto alone

In August 2000, although it was approaching the end of summer, the scorching sun still shone on the earth and the weather did not seem to be cool at all.

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, is like a furnace because of its numerous high-rise buildings and the heat island effect. You will be covered in sweat after walking on the street for less than 10 minutes.

However, some people still sweat profusely even when they stay in an air-conditioned room.

Tohsaka Rin is one of them....

Chapter 38 Idols and Tokusatsu Drama

Ryuichi Hanai's speech brought the atmosphere of the entire program to its climax. Although everyone still wanted to have a better understanding of the relationship between Nanaya Kiryu and Ori Ryougi, they were ultimately unable to do so.

Although Fujimura Taiga doesn't know how to write the word "enough is enough", as a host she should at least know when to end the topic.

The show time has come.

With a series of reminder sounds, the live broadcast time of t...

Chapter 37: Sister Fuji's "Best Filmmaker (Tiger Dojo)" Part 2

"I didn't expect it to be Miss Ryougi!"

"Shiki-sister is the most handsome!!"

“Whoa! Whoa!”

Cheers and whistles rang out in the studio. Even if Fujimura Taiga didn't urgently insert a commercial, the show would not be able to proceed normally given the current chaotic situation.

"Not bad, Ori." Nanaya was very satisfied with the cheers from the audience, "Your popularity is really good now."

The two people sitting together looked at each other, and a gle...

Chapter 36: Fuji Sister's "Best Filmmaker (Tiger Dojo)"

After a period of chaos, the studio finally calmed down.

Nanaya was hit by Taiga's bamboo sword, which was strictly a broadcast accident. However, this unexpected incident increased the ratings significantly.

Obviously, people all over the world enjoy watching others suffer misfortune.

"Oh, I'm so sorry." Taiga scratched the back of his head and smiled carelessly, "I didn't expect that you, Kiryu-kun, would not be able to dodge. I'm really sorry."

Taiga put his hands t...

Chapter 35: Sister Fuji's "Best Filmmaker (Tiger Dojo)" (Part 1)

On the evening of September 2, the distressed Nanaya brought his unhappy junior to the recording site of TBS TV's "Best Filmmaker".

Along with them came their teacher and Ryuichi Hanai, the show's special guest.

The TV station was very supportive of Nanaya bringing a burden with her. After all, compared to the director of the movie, the girl named Ryougi Shiki who is really well-known in "Kara no Kyoukai" is one of the most popular female artists in Japan at this stage. TBS T...

Chapter 34: Bringing Juniors to the Show

The choice of the magical girl theme was the result of Nanaya's careful consideration, because his main opponents this time, "Kamen Rider" and "Super Sentai", are two top IPs in the field of special effects since the Showa era.

Apart from Tsuburaya's "Ultraman", there is no other heroic special effects drama that can compete with it.

Although Nanaya has watched many heroic special effects dramas, they basically all belong to the three major special effects series. The only on...

Chapter 33: Mahou Shoujo is here!

The so-called special effects refers to special shooting techniques.

Pooh.

Tokusatsu refers to films that use special photography techniques and some special synthesis. Generally speaking, it uses leather suits and miniature models to create some scenes that look very grand, and then uses special post-production synthesis to produce shots that cannot be achieved in reality.

From the historical perspective of film development, stop-motion animation, special effects and comput...

Chapter 32 I have never heard of such a request in my life

Having lost everything, Hyakumegusa left the chairman's office in despair, leaving only Nanaya and Ryutani Nobuyuki alone in the huge room.

As the winner, Nanaya should have been very excited, but at this moment, he only felt empty. The resentment between him and his partners had disappeared as soon as "Kara no Kyoukai" was successful. At this moment, Nanaya had a new understanding of the cruelty of the industry.

As a popular idol, Hyakumesa became co...

Chapter 31: Victory for the Country Director

As the film ended, the lights in the theater came on.

The sparse audience members sitting in the screening room kept complaining, and one middle-aged woman even cursed out loud.

"What kind of a damn movie is this! They made the grass in my house look so ugly!"

Nanaya and Ori, who were sitting in the front row, were not surprised to hear these comments, because they both thought the movie was bad.

Of course, there are differences between bad movies. Some movies are bad ...

Chapter 30: Date? No way!

As time entered late August, the youth campus romance drama "Campus Window" starring the well-known director Ryuichi Hanai and J-family's current popular idol Hyakume Tsuchin was released.

Generally speaking, even if such a movie, which can be regarded as a powerful combination, cannot dominate the box office charts like the two previous summer blockbusters "Snowman" and "The Garden of Sinners", it will at least have no problem making a profit.

As the current popular idol pro...

Chapter 29 The "Big Star" Who Was So Angry That He Generated Electricity

With the official release of "Kara no Kyoukai", many media outlets have begun publishing their reviews of this popular movie.

The vast majority of media outlets gave it positive reviews, with some even going so far as to exaggerate and call it the best movie of this summer.

"Compared to the "Snowy Life" that completely imitates the Hollywood model, "Kara no Kyoukai" is a story and movie that belongs to Japan!"

Although Nanaya was very happy to receive good reviews, he b...

Chapter 28: You have to sit until the end when watching a movie~

As the lights in the screening room were turned off, the iconic logo of Lin Bao appeared on the big screen.

Shiori Kaede, who was sitting in the front row, subconsciously twisted her neck and placed her notebook on her knees, ready to take notes at any time.

Because he bought the ticket a little late, Shiori Kaede could only sit in the front seat of the theater. Although this seat, where he had to look up to watch the movie, made his neck feel a little strained, he didn'...

Chapter 27: The release of "Kara no Kyoukai"

After completing two rounds on TV, the crew of "Kara no Kyoukai" quickly began promoting it in theaters.

However, all this has nothing to do with Nanaya. According to the previous publicity plan of the crew and Linbao Company, all the focus is on Liangyi Ori.

"Orori, you are the core of this movie, so what you need to do now is to appear in public as much as possible! Use the charm of Ryougi Shiki to conquer the audience!"

Although Ori really wanted to punch Nanaya ...

Chapter 26 Preparation for offline screening!

"So this is the final ending? The final fight is indeed exciting, but the final ending makes people feel very emotional... It's a pity for the girl named Fujou Kirie." Shiori Kaede sighed with satisfaction.

As the final background music sounded, the last scene of the movie froze on Ryougi Shiki's slightly shy face.

Nanaya did not choose the kissing scene between the hero and heroine as is usually the case in movies as the ending, but chose this scene as the ending just like t...

Chapter 25: Too Naive Japanese Audience

"Did you see the ending of that movie?"

As the movie section of 2CH, the largest message board in Japan, has recently been dominated by a movie called "Kara no Kyoukai". This movie, directed by an unknown director and starring completely new actors and minor actors, has suddenly become a popular hot spot on the Internet from a state of almost no interest.

If we simply look at some official data, this movie, which only had a 6.7% viewership rate on TBS's late-night movie program, i...

Chapter 24: Broken Chapter Dog

Shiori Kaede originally thought that the movie would tell the story in reverse chronological order as to why the girl chose to commit suicide, but to his surprise, when the movie officially started, the time jumped directly to the hospital two years later.

As the hazy image gradually became clear, the girl who had been in a car accident woke up from her coma.

Nanaya borrowed the opening scene of the game "Tsukihime" for the scene of Ryougi Shiki's awakening. In the original "...
