What Ori did was not in vain. At least the boiling hot tea made Nanaya a little more sober.
"Okay, Sister Hoshisora, if you have any requests, please tell me directly."
Nanaya covered the back of his hand which was almost broken by the tea. This time he deliberately sat a little further away from his elder sister.
"How boring! I thought you, Nanaya, would be more interesting than Ori."
An expression of regret appeared on Hoshisora's face. She originally wanted to get closer to Nanaya, but this time Nanaya did not let her succeed.
"Okay, okay." Hoshisora could only explain his purpose a little more clearly, "Sister, I want the male lead of your new movie. You can pick any of my little devils."
Nanaya also had a formal smile on his face: "I'm sorry, onee-sama. I'm afraid that none of my roles are suitable for your idol."
Hoshisora looked at Nanaya with a smile: "Oh, are all the male characters in Nanaya's new movie muscular? Such a movie won't sell well. After all, not everyone likes Billy Herrington."
[I'm not filming "300 Spartans" and I don't need a Billy Herrington. Also, why do you know about Wang's existence when Niconico hasn't been established yet. Do you check out all the male celebrities? ]
Although he kept discussing the scope of this Onee-chan's career, Nanaya immediately refuted: "But my new movie is aimed at the Western market. Even Billy Herrington is more suitable than my sister's idol."
As soon as these words came out, Hoshisora's expression was slightly moved. "Nanaya, you are too fond of joking. You should know that even Europeans and Americans will feel sick if they take too many steroids. After all, the era of Schwarzenegger is over. And if Nanaya wants European and American actors, I have them under my wing."
"Onee-chan, your interests are truly wide-ranging." Nanaya taunted the Hoshisora, gritting his teeth.
Hoshisora held her cheeks with both hands, her face slightly red as she said, "Little brother, if you say that, Onee-chan will be shy~"
Nanaya looked at this cute old woman calmly. He was thinking about a question: which one is thicker, this woman's face or the city wall?
"Don't worry, little brother. Onee-chan won't make things difficult for you. Onee-chan has a team specifically targeting the European and American markets. They are all handsome guys and they sing well. You will definitely like them, little brother." Hoshisora blinked at Nanaya who had been silent.
[So, is this how the name Onee-chan is decided? This is too casual! ]
"Sorry, Onee-chan. I'm a normal man."
Hoshisora said with regret: "A normal man would have a scandal with Brother Ryougi? I thought you were tired of playing with Brother Ryougi and wanted to change your taste."
Nanaya was about to go crazy: "First of all, don't make it sound like I'm going to abandon you after having an affair with you! Also, don't spread gossip. After all, Onee-chan, you know that the outside world still thinks Ori is a girl."
Hoshisora directly caught Nanaya's handle: "You actually put Ryougi's feelings first. It seems that your younger brother Sang really likes him~"
Nanaya sighed, "That's enough, sister. Why are you so obsessed with a movie directed by a small director like me? You know it's hard for a movie adapted from a game to be successful. If you really want to expand the influence of J-House, you can go find Hayao Miyazaki. His new movie Spirited Away will definitely be a success, I promise."
"But it's an animated film, and my little ghosts would be half as charming if they didn't show their faces."
[You also admit that your idols are just selling their looks! ]
Nanaya didn't know where to start complaining.
"This 60 million live-action movie can be said to be the most heavily invested live-action movie in Japan at present. As long as it is successful, the popularity of my little kids will increase significantly." Hoshisora said with a smile, her eyes flashing with a light of ambition.
"Onee-chan also said that success is the premise, isn't Onee-chan afraid of failure?"
"Do I have confidence in you, my little brother, or are you just playing with Onee-chan? If that's the case, Onee-chan is really too sad, crying... crying..."
Although he knew that this woman was crying fake tears, Nanaya was so angry that he wanted to flip the table.
"Onee-chan, if you interrupt me again I will really get angry!" Nanaya didn't dare to continue talking, he directly stated his conditions for the actor, "My male lead must be a European or American actor, he needs to have some muscles and not be a sissy. And, most importantly, this actor will not show his face in the performance! So my idea is very different from yours, Onee-chan! So, Onee-chan, you will be disappointed!"
Nanaya uttered the last half of the sentence almost syllable by syllable.
"Kiryu Nanaya, are you kidding me? I don't believe in movies where the male lead doesn't show his face!"
Hoshisora's expression changed. Her expression became cold and stern, and a terrifying aura began to emanate from her. She seemed to feel that she had been fooled.
However, Nanaya's expression remained normal, as if he was not affected by the aura of this elder sister.
Nanaya took out a notebook from the drawer and handed it over: "This is my first draft of the plan. Although it is not completely completed, the basic character settings have been roughly determined. Because the content has not been announced yet, I hope that Onee-chan can keep it confidential after reading it."
"Of course, Onee-chan still understands this rule."
Hoshisora's face immediately turned into a smile again, as if the furious lioness just now was not her.
After seeing Nanaya take out the first draft, Hoshisora knew that he had not lied to her. After all, since Nanaya dared to show such a thing to an outsider like herself, it meant that the general setting was almost done.
However, Hoshisora's anger just now was mostly just a pretense, in order to get more information about Nanaya's new movie.
"I see. Onee-chan probably understands my thinking. It's indeed a good movie, at least it suits the tastes of European and American fans." Hoshisora's eyebrows curved. After reading the setting collection, she became more confident in Nanaya.
"I wish other people could have the same confidence in me as Onee-chan does."
Nanaya made a self-deprecating remark. Ever since he announced that he was going to make this big production, no one except his teacher and Ori had enough confidence in him.
Even the people from Erque Studio felt the same way. Most of them believed that Nanaya took on this task because he was inflated by his past achievements.
But Nanaya really underestimated Hoshisora's ability to take advantage of others and his thickness of face.
"Then for Onee-chan's sake of supporting your younger little brother, why don't you just pack up all the male characters and give them to the J family!"
"Why did you come to this conclusion, Onee-chan?"
"Because Onee-chan likes this movie very much." Hoshisora blinked and then pinched his chin, "Anyway, no one is optimistic about his younger brother, so let Onee-chan take over!"
Nanaya twitched his lips and said, "Onee-chan is dirty!"
"Just kidding." Hoshisora said with a smile, "But last year, my younger brother Sang's teacher Hanai Ryuichi's "School Window" made One-chan lose a lot of money."
"Yes..."
Nanaya didn't know why this woman suddenly mentioned this matter.
"Even though Onee-chan invested so much money, in the end she was retaliated against by her little brother's teacher." Hoshisora deliberately said in a very casual tone.
"Isn't that Hyakumekusa's own fault?" Nanaya quickly clarified.
Hoshisora obviously didn't intend to let this newly recognized "little brother" go. She looked like she had him under control: "That's because little brother's teacher wanted to avenge little brother, right? In other words, if there was no little brother, Onee-chan wouldn't have suffered so much."
"I have already used 'Magic Illya'..."
"It's not enough at all. After all, Onee-chan, I invested hundreds of millions of dollars in their team, but in the end, a eunuch and a fool destroyed the entire team. So, little brother, shouldn't you comfort your dear Onee-chan?"
"But, this protagonist doesn't show his face..."
Hoshisora immediately chuckled and said, "Then let's add a few more supporting roles, so that you can be worthy of Onee-chan, little brother."
"But..."
Seeing someone's attitude soften, Hoshisora immediately took advantage of the situation and said, "Okay, little brother, if you have any difficulties in the future, Onee-chan will help you~"
"...I understand." Nanaya was so annoyed by Hoshisora that he said in despair, "If Onee-chan can provide a suitable candidate..."
"Then it's settled!"
As if she felt that if she bowed her head like this, she would lose, Nanaya added: "I will organize an audition, and your idol must stand out among them."
"Of course~"
Hoshisora was very happy. She had achieved her purpose of coming to [Erque Studio] today. Although Nanaya did not give in directly, her idol was already a big step ahead of others.
"Well then, my dear little brother. See you at the audition. Onee-chan will definitely come up with a candidate that will satisfy little brother."
Standing at the door, Hoshisora covered his mouth with the back of his hand and gave a fake smile, while waving his other hand repeatedly to say goodbye to Nanaya.
[What kind of TV show are you acting in?! ]
Nanaya, exhausted by the starry sky, no longer had the energy to continue complaining.
"Hey, Ori. Am I considered a familiar victim?"
"No, Director Kiryu." Ori said unhappily, "You were just set up by a woman."
"…"
"So, you'd better cut off the root of right and wrong, so that your lower body won't be able to think."
"Why did you come to such a conclusion?!"
pS: At first, I actually wanted Hoshisora to call Nanaya "Otouto", but later I changed it to little brother
