Chapter 141: Chapter 140 Premiere Ends
"I thought you were going to yell 'I'm the king of the world'."
Shion chuckled. She finally found an opportunity to get back at her former self.
"You think too much. I'm not at the level of James Cameron yet."
Although Nanaya was very excited, he was still very self-aware.
"But anyway, you have a place in Hollywood now."
Shion is not much calmer than Nanaya. The success of this movie means that her pan-entertainment plan is successful, and she can really have the final say in Washimine from now on.
"Let's see the final box office, although I haven't planned to come here to play so early." Nanaya shrugged, "Okay, go on stage and take your bow."
After seeing that the two girls had finished their preparations, Nanaya led the crew members to the screen.
"Boy."
As he walked towards the screen, Kiritsugu took the opportunity to whisper something in Nanaya's ear.
"Next time, if you dare to touch Iris again..."
"Send me into Tokyo Bay?"
Kiritsugu replied very seriously: "No, I will put you in an RPG and shoot you at a Boeing 777!"
Well, this is a statement that is very Kiritsugu-style.
According to the premiere plan arranged by Nanaya, there will be two sessions after the movie screening: a question and answer session with reporters and interaction with the audience.
The reason why it was arranged after the movie screening was because Nanaya was afraid that the game fans would ask overly sensitive questions.
But the reality was far beyond Nanaya's expectations. The enthusiasm of the audience was much more intense than he had expected.
The applause, which had calmed down a little, became heated again after the crew came on stage.
"It looks like the class will be delayed later."
"What does it matter?" Irisviel whispered to Kiritsugu, "This is the honor that child deserves, just like you did back then."
Looking at Nanaya, whose face was red and she kept waving her fists at the audience, Kiritsugu snorted in dissatisfaction: "I have never been treated like this in the United States."
Iris covered her mouth and laughed: "Ah, can I take this as your jealousy of Nanaya-chan?"
Kiritsugu curled his lips in disdain: "Him? It's too early."
About 5 minutes later, the audience finally calmed down.
Only then could the Q&A session with reporters finally proceed.
The first reporter to ask the question was, of course, the reporter from Washimine's side who had been prepared in advance.
The reporter, who looked a bit older, picked up the microphone and said to Nanaya according to the arrangement that had been agreed upon before: "Director Kiryu, this is an excellent movie."
This sets the tone for the questions that follow.
This way, the remaining reporters won't ask too many inappropriate questions even if they don't like the movie.
Because even if the crew didn't mind, the excited audience wouldn't bypass them.
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment."
Nanaya nodded with a smile.
"Director Kiryu, I want to ask, do you have any plans for a sequel to such an excellent movie?"
"Well, if there is a chance, there should be one."
This is completely nonsense. Nanaya has no plans for a sequel. You have to know that the further you go, the further the gap between "Goblin Slayer" and "Saint and the Brave" will be.
Unless Washimine can make a game using the background of "Goblin Slayer" to support him, Nanaya doesn't want to do such a troublesome thing.
"Excuse me, Mr. Director," another reporter interrupted, "Regarding the leading actor Goblin Slayer, why didn't you let him show his face at the end?"
"This is to create a sense of mystery." Nanaya said, pulling Gawain over, "But he is right here. Those who didn't see his face just now, you can now take a good look at him."
There was laughter in the theater, and many people who brought cameras took pictures of Gawain.
"Director…"
Gawain, who did not enter Gawain mode, looked very shy. He was embarrassed and didn't know what to say.
"Don't sigh! You are the protagonist now, be happy!"
A certain blue teddy dog put his arm around his teammate's shoulders and waved to the fans with a laugh.
Nanaya's cheap one-chan really put a lot of effort into selecting the people. These two guys are not only handsome, but also have outstanding figures.
A simple sissy may be very popular in the East, but such a character will obviously not be welcomed in the West.
In Europe and the United States, sissy is almost equivalent to gay, and sissy is the submissive one.
Even Billy Herrington is more popular in Europe and the United States than these sissies.
So in Europe and the United States, no matter how thin a male idol is, he will at least have some muscular body.
Both Gawain and Setanda are top-notch in Europe and America in terms of appearance and figure.
So, when the audience saw Gawain's handsome face, many female audience members screamed.
Words like "I want to give birth to a baby for you!" kept coming and going, making Nanaya sigh that Europeans and Americans are just open-minded.
Only after the cheers caused by the leading actor Gawain finally died down did the reporters finally have the opportunity to continue asking questions.
The reporters this time were still the organizers' own people arranged in advance.
"Then, the long sword at the end of the film..."
But the reporter found that he could not ask any further questions.
The question originally assigned to him was to inquire about the Easter egg at the end of the film, but in order to avoid making everything seem too contrived, the reporter certainly could not directly say the name of the Master Sword.
After all, as a middle-aged person, you will know that the use of proper nouns in a game is itself a very discordant thing.
However, as soon as he said the word "long sword", the game fans present were not happy.
William, the loudmouth, took the lead and roared loudly.
"Master Sword!"
Nearby, William's two companions also shouted out.
"Master Sword!"
Then more and more game fans started shouting.
In the end, no one knew who started it, but the audience's chants gradually changed.
"Next, Master Sword!"
"Next, Master Sword!"
··
Apparently, those fans who were unwilling to see the show end like this spontaneously responded to this call.
We've already seen the Master Sword, so why can't we mention the second part?
"These guys definitely did it on purpose."
Nanaya complained in a low voice that these people were just making trouble.
Shion also followed suit and said, "Isn't this pretty good? Why don't you shoot "The Master Sword" next time?"
"Don't be ridiculous. After the promotion of Goblin Slayer in North America is over, I will go back to Japan to shoot Kara no Kyoukai."
Nanaya rejected Shion's proposal without a second thought. He never forgot his original intention of establishing the Type-Moon Film and Television Universe.
Because of "Goblin Slayer", this plan has been shelved for more than a year. Nanaya now has to speed up to catch up with the progress he has fallen behind.
Of course, the success of "Goblin Slayer" will bring infinite benefits to Nanaya. For example, he can give the green light to projects in Japan in the future, and his subsequent works will find it easier to enter the European and American markets, etc.
These benefits are something he cannot obtain no matter how many times he shoots "Kara no Kyoukai".
After all, no matter how successful "Kara no Kyoukai" is, this Japanese urban legend-style work is destined not to be mainstream in Europe and the United States.
Of course, at this time, Nanaya would definitely not tell the audience very directly, I will not shoot a second part, so don't even think about it.
If he really said such a thing, Nanaya estimated that he would probably be torn to pieces by these people before he even walked out of the theater door.
So Nanaya just stood there quietly, holding the microphone in his hand but not saying a word, waiting for the fans to vent their emotions.
At this time, the reporters nearby were not idle either, they were pressing the shutter button frantically. Such a crazy scene of movie fans was excellent news material for them.
"I do feel a little sympathy for these people. It's really hard to be your fan."
After knowing that Nanaya would not change his mind on his own initiative, Shion could only mourn for these fans who were cheering so happily.
"However, if there is a chance next time, let's continue to cooperate."
For Shion, whether Nanaya will make a sequel is not really a big issue. What is more important is whether Nanaya will continue to cooperate with her in the future.
With the success of Goblin Slayer, Washimine will surely release more films in the future. In this case, it is very important to maintain a good cooperative relationship with a young and capable director.
[It's a pity that the copyright of "Kara no Kyoukai" is completely in Lin Bao's hands. It would be great if I could get the copyright of Nanaya's new IP. ]
Thinking of this, Shion looked at Nanaya with a somewhat resentful look.
[If I use that hug just now to threaten you... forget it, let's wait until we get closer. As expected, that little girl from the Ryutani family is the biggest enemy.]
Shion didn't take the siblings of the Ryougi family seriously at all. After all, they were just Nanaya's puppets and obeyed his every word.
She, Washimine Shion, is not competing for favor in the harem, so there is no need for her to be the only one in Nanaya's heart.
However, as the mentor of Nanaya's success, Illya's existence is a bit of a hindrance to Shion.
If one day Nanaya follows Kiritsugu's example and marries into the Ryutani family, then my cooperation with him will probably always be inferior to Lin Bao.
[Although I feel a little sorry for Uncle Ryutani...but, everyone wants good things, right? ]
Looking at the radiant Nanaya, a sly smile flashed in Shion's eyes.
··
When he walked out of the screening room, William kept rubbing his throat. He didn't feel it when he was shouting just now, but now he felt a burning pain in his throat.
"Speaking of which, how are we going to explain this to the others? We came here to investigate the enemy, but we turned around and betrayed them."
"That's easy." William replied in a hoarse voice, "Why don't we just let them come over and watch the movie first?"
"That's right."
Ed found himself to be a bit stupid.
