Chapter 168: Chapter 165 I Can Too
Women are really troublesome.
This was Nanaya's opinion on the matter, and it took him a lot of time to appease Ryougi Shiki.
Fortunately, Ryougi Shiki was just howling, otherwise it would have been really troublesome if her makeup had been ruined.
After finally coaxing the young ladies into submission, Nanaya decisively left his seat and went to work. He didn't want to cause any more trouble.
"Hey, move camera number one to the entrance of the café! Shoot from the door inside!"
Nanaya stood up and shouted to the camera crew, "Four Eyes, use camera No. 2 to move the camera and follow Yoshinaga's gaze to the door. Remember to capture the facial expressions of the ladies while moving!"
"OK."
Several camera crew members who were named took action immediately and quickly adjusted the camera position according to Nanaya's request.
"Tsk, what a pity!"
Shiki smacked her lips in dissatisfaction. Although she was indeed angry at first, she acted on purpose later on.
Seeing Nanaya's flustered expression, she couldn't help but want to bully him, just like she bullied Ori when they were children.
Unfortunately, this situation only lasted for a few seconds.
"What are you looking at? Haven't you seen any pretty girls?"
Shiki said unhappily when he noticed Lily was staring at him.
"I only see a sneaky cat using my brother's face to steal fish!"
Lily stared at Ryougi Shiki's face, and there seemed to be a spark between the two girls' eyes.
[Nanaya, he is mine! ]*2
"Hmph!"*2
The two girls turned around and left in the opposite direction.
However, before Ryougi Shiki could take two steps, Nanaya stopped her.
"Where are you going?!" Nanaya pointed at the entrance of the cafe and said, "Hurry up and go to your seat. We are going to take the next shot!"
"...OK."
Amid Lily's silent smile, Shiki walked towards his position with a dusty face.
Nanaya was checking the final preparations for the next scene. After confirming that there were no problems with the camera position, he walked to the table to check on the status of Fujino and Azaka.
There is no need to worry about the makeup. Although Katsura Mamako is a fujoshi, her makeup skills are top-notch.
Plus, they have been working together for so many years, and the middle-aged woman is very familiar with Nanaya's shooting habits and will not make mistakes in makeup.
At most, it just confirms whether makeup needs to be touched up.
"Are you ready?"
Nanaya asked Yoshinaga and Yukari.
"Alright."
Yoshinaga Shizu handed the notebook to her on-set assistant and asked her to put it in her bag.
Nanaya noticed the abnormal redness on Yukari's face: "Why is your face a little red? Are you sick?"
"No, it's my first time filming, so I'm a little excited. I'll be fine in a while."
Yukari said this very calmly, as if she really meant it.
Nanaya didn't doubt him, he just asked with concern: "Well, let's do it this way. If you need to touch up your makeup, please tell me earlier."
"It's okay, it will come down once it's turned on."
Nanaya nodded with satisfaction and returned to his director's seat.
"We're ready to start filming. Who else isn't in position?"
Nanaya waited for a while, and after making sure that all departments were ready, he picked up the baton and said:
" Remaining Sense of Pain, Scene 1, Act 4, get ready!"
The script supervisor hurriedly stood in front of the main camera with the script board.
Bang!
"Start!"
This literary scene in the coffee shop was not too difficult for Nanaya. After the actors found their right state, it went pretty smoothly.
This scene can be said to be the first meeting between Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino, although these two rivals do not know each other's situation.
In fact, if you dig deeper into " Remaining Sense of Pain", or the entire "Kara no Kyoukai" series, you will find that it is essentially a love story that Japanese people like.
This is also related to Mushroom's writing style. "Kara no Kyoukai", "Tsuki-hime" and "Fate", the three works that best represent Mushroom, are essentially love stories.
Another person who is often mentioned and always evaluated together with Mushroom, the [Warrior of Love] Kyon, is the opposite of Mushroom.
Compared to love, Gen Urobuchi prefers to explore the meaning of life.
This is also why the topic of death always comes up in Urobuchi's stories and is so memorable.
Of course, this is just a matter of different styles, not that they only write about one topic.
For Nanaya, there is no distinction between the two themes of life and love.
Looking at all the great stories in history, whether it is a movie, novel or other medium, every great work involves two elements, and one of them will definitely be the focus.
Because the meaning of life and the pursuit of love have always been enduring topics in human history and are also popular topics that everyone loves to hear.
Since it is about the pursuit of love, the girl's blushing and heartbeating expressions are definitely indispensable.
However, for Asagami Fujino, looking for her so-called senior is not a matter of love. All she wants is to simply kill the other person and feel pleasure.
"Cut!"
When the camera saw a close-up of Yoshinaga Yukari's facial expression on the monitor, Nanaya immediately called a stop.
"Yoshinaga, the character you are playing now is not a girl in love, and the person you and Azaka are discussing is not her brother."
Nanaya said to Yoshinaga Yukari: "Don't show any sweet smiles, and keep your expression calm. Of course, it's okay if you can show a little madness, but please don't go too far."
"Sorry, Mr. Director. I'll be right back."
Yoshinaga Yukari took a few deep breaths and patted her big breasts lightly. This action made all the women present snort in ambiguous expressions.
The performance of Fujino Asagami now is not that difficult. The real difficulty of this role lies in her yandere state. She has to show both pain and the pleasure she feels in harming people's bodies after turning evil.
[Damn it, I can't laugh anymore. What the hell is wrong with me? Just keep calm, just keep calm.]
Because she finally found her male protagonist, she felt an indescribable sense of joy as she found her life goal.
This made Yukari's usual calmness gradually disappear, and she began to smile unconsciously, looking like a girl in love.
Yukari, who finally returned to her expressionless face, said calmly to Nanaya: "Let's get started, Director. I'm ready."
After that, this shot was NG three more times before it was passed. This time it had nothing to do with purple, but rather the angle of the camera lens.
However, this kind of thing is a very common problem in the filming process. The crew members did not care about it, but tried their best to do their job to the best of their ability.
Although this is a commercial film, because the selling point is the various beautiful girls, Nanaya's requirements for several actors are higher than those for ordinary commercial films.
In addition, the cafe was the first scene to be filmed, so there were only a few minutes of shots in this movie. It took Nanaya three days to complete it all.
Fortunately, the decoration of the cafe had to be retained at the owner's request, which saved the crew the effort of dealing with garbage.
The next set of shots that Nanaya is going to shoot is Aozaki's office.
In the original plot, Aozaki was unable to pay wages because he bought too many things, and he even had to borrow money from his employees.
Here, in order to create a connection with his subsequent works, specifically with FSN, Nanaya deliberately changed the things that Orange bought into a mirror excavated from the ruins of a Greek temple.
Well, it's the holy relic that the Matou family uses to summon Sister R.
As the original design of the current Moon World, Nanaya does not need to stick to the timeline. Rather, he needs a timeline that is convenient for him to create.
Transferring insignificant props from the previous film to the next creates a connection between the stories.
This operation is simple and easy to use, and it intuitively tells the audience that this is a story set in a world.
Well, Nanaya learned another trick from Marvel.
"Okay, let's stop here for today."
After Aozaki took out a mirror wrapped in velvet, Nanaya announced the end of today's shooting.
"Hey, Senior. Is there a story behind this mirror?"
The person who called Nanaya-senpai was not Ryougi Ori but his sister Ryougi Shiki.
"Well, it might be related."
Nanaya said vaguely.
"Here we go again."
Shiki was a little dissatisfied with Nanaya's answer. She pulled Nanaya's clothes and begged, "Just tell me. I promise not to tell anyone."
[This woman has taken the wrong medicine recently. ]
Nanaya sighed. He hadn't noticed it before, but now, Nanaya had definitely realized that something was wrong with this girl.
Shiki has recently been particularly fond of pestering Nanaya with questions, and this situation usually only stopped after Lily came over and had a fight with her.
At the beginning, Nanaya was very happy to answer Shiki's questions. After all, it is always good for an actor to be eager to learn.
But gradually, Nanaya realized that something was wrong with Shiki. After all, Shiki's movements were too deliberate.
At that time, Nanaya thought that Shiki was competing with Lily, so as long as the two girls did not disturb the filming of the crew, he would let it go.
But now Lily has left the crew because of her idol work, but there is no sign of stopping.
This made Nanaya curious.
Moreover, because of the frequent entanglements, Nanaya was already feeling a little annoyed.
It's not that Nanaya hates Ryougi Shiki, but when he looks at that face, Nanaya can't help but think of his junior brother.
Then, Nanaya immediately lost all interest.
However, since the crew has not yet organized it, no one can stop the ceremony.
Nanaya, who was somewhat helpless because of Shiki, could only lower his voice deliberately. He asked in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "Then Shiki, can you keep it a secret?"
"Of course, senior!" Shiki said immediately in a confident tone.
"Great, because I can, too!"
Nanaya didn't hesitate for a second, he answered in an unusually decisive tone.
Then, before Shiki could react, he ran away.
"Mo~ Nanaya you bastard..."
Shiki complained behind Nanaya, but Nanaya had already disappeared.
Although the filming has ended today, Nanaya still has to continue his work today.
As time was running out for him, he had already left the set while Shiki was complaining.
