Movie Queen Development Plan

"Oni-chan~"

Illya came over with a drink, she looked extremely excited.

"I won't be a light bulb anymore."

Mark tactfully stood up and gave up the special seat next to Nanaya.

"Hello!"

Before Nanaya could take any action, Illya came up to him.

"Oni-chan~ Hug~"

Illya seemed like a cat that always wanted to be close to humans. She meowed and came closer.

"Don't act like a spoiled child..."

Nanaya put Illya in the seat next to him and asked her to sit upright. However, this little loli who was about to expire seemed to have rickets and wanted to lean on Nanaya the whole time.

"Hey, Illya-chan, we agreed not to run away."

Sakura appeared behind Illya holding a glass of whiskey, she held the glass in one hand and clamped Illya to herself with the other hand to prevent the silver-haired girl from continuing to stick to someone.

"Hmm…"

Feeling the softness coming from behind, Illya's cheeks puffed up like buns.

"Humph, it's just a nutrition bag. Wait a little longer and Illya will definitely surpass you."

Sakura took a sip of whiskey, waved her hand and said, "Yeah, I'll wait and see."

"What are you doing here?"

Rin also appeared and looked at Sakura with a wary look on her face.

"It's just a casual chat."

Sakura answered like this, but her eyes were fixed on Illya in her arms.

Rin immediately understood what was going on, and she took the initiative to sit at the other end.

"Hey, senior. Have you figured out how you're going to act in that scene?"

Rin crossed his legs and unscrupulously showed off his thighs to Nanaya.

"What do you mean by how to act?" Nanaya pretended to be confused and said, "I'm telling you, you need to act out the first few scenes first. For the scenes in the next few days, you and Sugiyama need to study them carefully in advance."

"Hey, don't mention work during your break~"

Rin took out a glass filled with brown liquid from somewhere and placed it in front of Nanaya.

"It's my treat."

"No thanks. I have work tomorrow."

Nanaya smelled alcohol in the cup. Although he didn't know what kind of alcohol it was, he could tell it was definitely strong liquor even from such a distance.

"Don't be so serious. It's rare for you to relax." Rin still didn't give up. "Drink it. After you drink it, you don't have to think about anything."

"Are you drinking alcohol or taking sleeping pills?"

"It actually has this effect!" Sakura's ears immediately perked up, "Nanaya, you just had a drink~"

"Sakura, I have read "Water Margin"."

Sakura smiled and said, "No, this is the Golden Plum."

"Fuck, that's even worse!"

"That's right, you guys are going too far to exclude me."

"Why don't you come over to join in the fun!"

Looking at the bouncing golden ponytail, Nanaya broke out in a few drops of cold sweat.

"I think you girls are just drunk."

Nanaya complained, but the girls still surrounded him.

"Then Oni-chan, drink Illya's cup. This is not wine~"

Illya picked up her cup.

"That's a good idea. I'll come too!"

"Nanaya, how about we just drink some chewing wine?"

Nanaya found that his sight was suddenly occupied by colorful glass cups.

Such a dazzling situation made Nanaya not know what to do.

"Come on, Oni-chan~"

"Nana, come on~"

"Senior~"

"Director Nanaya, although I am not your sister, please bear with me for a while."

Nanaya no longer had any idea what was going on.

"Several."

Ori suddenly and without warning stood between Nanaya and the girls.

"I'm sorry to interrupt you, Miss Shion has something to say to you."

Ori took out his cell phone which was already in hands-free mode.

"You guys." Shion's voice came from the phone, "It's fine if you drink by yourselves, but if you dare to instigate Nanaya to drink and cause the crew to shut down, I will definitely make you pay back double the tens of thousands of dollars a day~"

"Eh~"*4

The four girls huddled together; Shion's terrifying voice made them shiver all over.

"Do you understand?"

At Shion's questioning, the four girls nodded frantically.

"Very good."

Shion hung up the phone contentedly.

Nanaya was a little curious about how Shion knew that the four people in front of him nodded, even though they didn't say anything.

[Is this the boss's intuition? ]

Nanaya took another sip of Calpis and thought silently in his heart.

Because of Shion's warning, the girls did not do anything more extreme to Nanaya, and the so-called farewell party just passed.

For the next two days, Nanaya gave the actors a day off.

But he himself did not have it so easy. He and his set design crew rented a church in the suburbs of Kobe and decorated it to look like the church in the movie.

Obviously, the next task for the Fate crew is to shoot the church scenes.

However, this time it was not as smooth as the previous action scenes.

"Be thankful, young man. Your wish has finally come true."

Kotomine Kirei, who was wearing a priest's robe, spoke to Emiya Shirou who was about to leave as if delivering an oracle.

Emiya Shirou asked with a confused expression: "——Why did you say that?"

"Cut!"

Nanaya frowned and called for a stop.

"No, Sugiyama, your mood is still not right."

Nanaya said, shaking his head.

"Sorry, Director."

Sugiyama bowed his head and apologized, he knew he was not in a good state.

This relatively simple shot had been NG'd more than ten times, and all the problems were on himself, which made Sugiyama begin to feel anxious.

"It's okay, Sugiyama. You need to calm down."

Matsushige Yutaka, who played Kotomine, consoled him.

Sugiyama smiled bitterly and shook his head. He felt that this was not simply a matter of keeping a normal mind.

"Forget it, let's stop here for today. Everyone go and have a rest, and the props team remember to pack up their things."

Nanaya glanced at the time and finally decided to disband the crew.

Because it's too late.

Nanaya could see Sugiyama's problem. His basic acting skills were already in place, but he had some problems grasping the character's psychology.

It's not that Sugiyama didn't take this filming seriously enough, or that he wasn't professional enough or just dealt with it casually.

Although Sugiyama's acting skills cannot be said to be great, his attitude towards filming has surpassed most actors.

However, Sugiyama's understanding of his role is not very complete.

Although the script notes what expressions Shirou Emiya should use in different situations, the severity of the expressions can only be controlled by the actor himself.

Judging from the results, Sugiyama obviously did not understand it thoroughly.

He seemed to regard Shirou Emiya as an ordinary middle school boy who wanted to be a hero, but in fact, the character of Shirou Emiya was far more complicated than that.

When returning to the hotel where the crew had checked in, Nanaya originally planned to talk to Sugiyama the next morning about his understanding of the role.

As a result, that night, Nanaya heard a knock on the door just after taking a shower.

"You're looking for me at this time, aren't you afraid that I'm working?"

Seeing Sugiyama Sasuke smiling at him embarrassedly at the door, Nanaya said with a smile.

"Um... I saw that Ms. Tohsaka and the others were out shopping, so I came to see you, Director."

Hearing what Sugiyama said, Nanaya rolled her eyes.

"Forget it, let's go for a walk too. Wait for me to blow dry my hair."

Nanaya doesn't have the hobby of inviting a good-looking man into her room late at night.

Nanaya dried her hair, changed her clothes, and then left the hotel with Sugiyama pretending to have a midnight snack together.

The two people did not wander around the busy streets, but walked to a relatively secluded park.

Sugiyama sat on the swing in the park, and Nanaya stood beside him, leaning against the pole.

"Tell me, what do you want to ask?" Nanaya asked calmly.

Sugiyama looked at the tall buildings flashing lights in the distance and said softly, "After dinner, I read the script again, and I found that the character of Shirou Emiya is more complicated than I thought."

"You finally understood." Nanaya chuckled.

"Um."

Sugiyama nodded slowly: "I'm sorry for causing trouble to everyone these days."

"It's nothing. Not only you, but others also need to use these shots to hone their acting skills."

Nanaya tightened his coat; the evening breeze at this time of year was already a little chilly.

"Director, I know my acting is not good, but I can't find out what's wrong. Can you tell me?"

Sugiyama asked anxiously. He was really a little anxious now.

There were so many NGs today. Although no one said anything, many staff members already had a hint of impatience on their faces.

Sugiyama didn't want to be a burden to the crew, he wanted to make a change.

This is also the reason why he took the initiative to seek help from Nanaya.

Nanaya said, "You are the protagonist of this movie, so the role you play is the most complex and the most changeable."

"Um..."

Sugiyama nodded slightly and listened to Nanaya's explanation very carefully.

"Don't be so nervous. I won't deduct your pay."

When Nanaya saw Sugiyama's expression, which looked like a student in class, he suddenly thought that this guy was a little cute.

Since the actor took the initiative to come to me, his attitude is worthy of praise.

When faced with a studious baby, Nanaya will of course give enough guidance.

"Although the character arc of Shirou Emiya is somewhat complicated, my film is not an art film, but a commercial film. So in terms of the character arc, my script still follows the simplest three-act play structure."

Seeing the confused expression on Sugiyama's face, I could only explain it in more detail.

He picked up a branch discarded by the sand pit, which was probably broken off from the green belt nearby by some naughty kid during the day.

Nanaya used a branch to roughly draw a vertical line on the sand pit: "The so-called three-act play is the simplest and most useful narrative method. To sum it up in one sentence: the protagonist learns the truth from lies."

"So, Sugiyama." Nanaya looked at Sugiyama who was squatting beside the sand pit with him, "What do you think Emiya Shirou's lie is?"
