Movie Queen Development Plan

At the banquet, Nanaya was taken by Shion to meet many people.

Among them are Washimine's senior executives, political officials and Washimine's business partners.

What made Nanaya curious was that the senior executives of Washimine all looked to be in their forties or fifties, much younger than those old men in their seventies or eighties a year ago.

It seems that after the success of "Goblin Slayer", Shion has begun to strengthen her control over Washimine. Those former executives whom she calls "old things" are being slowly cleared out by her.

Nanaya discovered that Shion didn't just want him to meet some people. He felt that the female boss was showing him her social circle.

In other words, the female boss was showing her fist to herself, but why?

Nanaya couldn't figure it out, or maybe his brain wasn't thinking as well as usual.

Nanaya felt that he must have drunk too much tonight. He swore that he had never drunk so much before.

Because except for juniors like Rin, all other guests, Nanaya, had to follow Shion and clink glasses with the other party.

Although Nanaya was very restrained in his drinking speed and only took a small sip each time, after this round, Nanaya had drunk several glasses.

After drinking so much, Nanaya was already a little tipsy. He had never trained his drinking capacity, especially since he had only drunk a few times in his life.

Looking at Shion, who drank twice as much as himself but was still full of energy, Nanaya couldn't help but smack his lips.

"You have a great alcohol tolerance." Nanaya praised sincerely.

"Thank you, I've been practicing this since I was a kid." Shion said proudly, "This is what my grandfather asked me to do. He said that girls must be able to drink more than boys. Otherwise, if I fall before boys, it will be troublesome."

"That's true."

Nanaya nodded. It was very dangerous for a girl to get drunk. Whether in his previous life or this life, he had heard of people who specialized in "picking up corpses" at the door of bars.

"But I remember that children shouldn't drink alcohol?" Nanaya frowned.

Shion said as a matter of course: "Do you think such a small matter would have anything to do with our family?"

In Japan, Europe and the United States, it is more difficult for minors to buy alcohol in public than to buy R-rated products.

Of course, this is only in public, in private...

"But there's no need to say it so proudly, right?" Nanaya didn't know what this woman was so proud of.

"But Nanaya, you really can't do it. It seems like you need to practice your drinking capacity more."

Nanaya tapped his forehead with his fingers: "I want to keep this noble brain awake at all times."

Shion said playfully, "You're still awake. Do you want me to make you walk in a straight line in public now?"

"So you better let me go." Nanaya covered his face embarrassedly, "I'm already drunk."

"No, there are a few more people I need to meet."

Shion didn't intend to let him go like this. She grabbed Nanaya's arm and walked forward.

"Hic~ There's more..."

Nanaya burped and complained angrily.

Then, he stopped talking immediately.

"Boy, you don't seem to want to see me at all?"

Ryutani Nobuyuki stared at the ruddy-faced Nanaya with a half-smile, and next to him was Kiritsugu with sharp eyes and Irisviel who was watching the show with a smile.

"No way, I just drank too much and wanted to eat something to fill my stomach first."

Nanaya answered with a wry smile, and he immediately sobered up a lot.

"Haha, you're already exhausted after drinking so little. You're nothing compared to that guy Ryuichi."

"How can I possibly be better than my teacher?" Nanaya quickly changed the subject, "Grandpa, regarding the cost approval for the second and third volumes of "Kara no Kyoukai"..."

"I have asked them to review it, so it shouldn't be a problem." Nobuyuki signaled Nanaya not to worry.

According to Nanaya's latest cost calculations, the production cost of the second and third chapters of "Kara no Kyoukai" is estimated to be around 300 million yen in total, of course this does not include Nanaya's remuneration as director.

It's not that Nanaya doesn't want to calculate, but he doesn't dare to calculate.

Nanaya is a director who has already reached $400 million and has the potential to move towards the $500 million club.

If calculated according to Hollywood rules, his salary for his next movie would not be even a million dollars, but it would definitely be hundreds of thousands of dollars.

If converted into Japanese yen, it would be hundreds of millions.

Almost no film company would agree to pay such a director fee. You should know that the box office of live-action movies in Japan has been shrinking. In this case, it is not cost-effective to hire a director with hundreds of millions of yen.

So Nanaya's suggestion was that he bring money into the crew and enjoy a share of the box office revenue after the movie is released.

This is also a method that Lin Bao can relatively accept. Even if Ryutani can be biased towards Nanaya, as a normally functioning company, his personal emotions cannot affect the normal operation of the company.

Even though Nanaya has the success of "Kara no Kyoukai" and "Goblin Slayer" as qualifications, Lin Bao will definitely be relatively cautious when it comes to investments of hundreds of millions of yen and will not give the green light easily.

Of course, with the precedent of success, the fact that it is a sequel to a popular movie, and the fact that Nanaya will also cover part of the costs, it is only a matter of time before the project is approved.

"By the way, you're actually using a Japanese special effects company for your new work? Didn't you consider Washimine?"

Shion also knew about Nanaya's new work. The cost of 300 million yen was only a few million dollars, and the effect would definitely not be comparable to "Goblin Slayer".

"Well, because "Kara" is not suitable for the European and American markets, we need to control costs."

Although Nanaya is confident, he is not blind.

If it was a theme like Fate that was popular all over the world, he would choose a big production like "Goblin Slayer", but "Kara"...

As I said before, Europeans and Americans won't like Japanese urban fantasy themes very much.

Nanaya didn't react to Shion's words, but Ryutani Nobuyuki's eyes narrowed. He stared at Shion and asked, "Why? Washimine is interested in entering the Japanese film industry?"

Although the two parties had a very pleasant cooperation on "Goblin Slayer", this does not mean that Washimine and Lin Bao are in the same group.

On the contrary, because of some recent rumors, Ryutani Nobuyuki is quite wary of Washimine.

"It's just a move into movie special effects." Shion smiled slightly, "After all, there are so many special effects people in Washimine now, I can't support them all for free, right?"

"Really?"

There seemed to be a spark between the eyes of the old man and the young boy.

"Well, be nice."

Nanaya, who wanted to help, quickly interrupted and said, "Why don't you see Illya?"

"Oh, Nanaya-chan wants to see Illya-chan too, right?" Irisviel laughed. "What a pity, Illya-chan has a cold and can't come to the party~ I also want Nanaya-chan to see Illya-chan's white dress. It really matches the brooch Nanaya-chan gave her."

"Boy..."*2

Nobuyuki and Kiritsugu pressed on Nanaya's shoulders, one on the left and one on the right.

"You really have some intentions towards Illya, right?!"*2

[Ah... I almost forgot about these two Illya fans. ]

Nanaya shrank his neck, he felt that he shouldn't have said too much just now.

"I'm just a little worried when Illya isn't here."

However, such a sophistry excuse could not convince the two Illya fans, and they dragged Nanaya to the side at the same time.

"You two," Irisviel warned, "don't bully Nanaya-chan too much."

"How could that be possible?" Kiritsugu laughed dryly. "I was just having a couple of drinks with this kid with my dad."

"Yeah, just drinking."

Nobuyuki nodded repeatedly, then he looked at Kiritsugu and quickly pulled Nanaya away.

"Mo~Is it so fun to bully Nanaya?" Irisviel complained.

"I'll go watch them."

Shion was also a little worried. You know, Nanaya was already a little tipsy before, and it would be troublesome if he was really drunk by those two people.

"Wait a minute, Shion-chan."

Irisviel didn't let Shion leave. She stared at Shion and the smile on her face became a little duller.

"What does Shion-chan think of Nanaya-chan?"

Shion said very politely, "Qianye? He is a very capable person. Washimine's performance has improved so much in the past year and a half, all thanks to his help."

"It seems that Shion-chan also admires Nanaya-chan very much." Iris nodded, "But, Shion-chan, you have to understand that Nanaya-chan is a director of the Linbao system, and Washimine is just a game company."

Shion's face changed; she heard the warning in Irisviel's words.

"I thought you were going to tell me not to get too close to Illya's fiancé."

Shion's almost joking words did not cause any change in the expression on Iris's face.

"Although I also hope that Nanaya-chan and Illya-chan will get married, the happiness of the younger generation should be decided by themselves. I am now consulting Chairman Washimine on business issues in the capacity of Linbao's executive director~"

[Perhaps this woman is the most troublesome person in the Ryugu family. ]

Facing the powerful Irisviel, Shion's face stiffened.

··

The word "liang" can actually refer to the number 2, or it can be used as a figurative reference.

The "two" that Kiritsugu said to Iris obviously meant the latter, while Ryutani Nobuyuki silently nodded a thumbs up on the side.

In short, when Nanaya was finally let go by the two Illya fans, he felt that his steps were beginning to become unsteady.

"Burp~ Damn, I really drank too much."

Nanaya felt that he needed a room to have a good rest, otherwise if he continued like this he would probably end up sleeping in the hall, which would be very troublesome.

"Where's the boss?"

Nanaya vaguely remembered that Shion said she had booked a room, so he wandered around the banquet hall looking for Shion.

"Careful!"

Suddenly a warning sounded, but Nanaya, whose steps were weak, couldn't stop at all.

Then, Nanaya dived into two soft yet hard objects.

[So big...]

Nanaya's eyes were a little blurry and his vision was filled with white.

"I say, when you're done admiring me, can you get up from my chest?"

A cold yet majestic voice sounded in Nanaya's ears.

Only then did Nanaya notice that he seemed to be leaning on a lady.

[I think I was hit by her chest with my face? ]

At this moment, Nanaya's mind was full of this thought.
