Capítulo 31: Chapter 31: Victory for the Country Director
As the film ended, the lights in the theater came on.
The sparse audience members sitting in the screening room kept complaining, and one middle-aged woman even cursed out loud.
"What kind of a damn movie is this! They made the grass in my house look so ugly!"
Nanaya and Ori, who were sitting in the front row, were not surprised to hear these comments, because they both thought the movie was bad.
Of course, there are differences between bad movies. Some movies are bad because the director and actors are of limited skill and can only produce such a bad movie. Some movies are bad because the producers do not want to make a good movie and are purely for the purpose of making money. There is also a very rare type of bad movie, which is when the director deliberately makes it a bad movie to retaliate against society, such as the masterpiece "Paint Drying".
Obviously, this film "Campus Window" is the last case.
As Ryuichi's disciples, Nanaya and Ori can see that their teacher made many low-level mistakes in this movie, such as incoordinated shots, unsmooth editing, etc.
Individually, these mistakes may not seem like much, but when combined they turn the entire movie into a disaster.
The most crucial point is the appearance of the protagonist, Hyakumegusa, who is also the biggest selling point of the movie.
You should know that the movie screen is a flat surface, while a person's face is three-dimensional. Even the same face will give different feelings of appearance when viewed from different angles. Some faces will even reduce their actual appearance no matter how they are photographed, which is usually called "not photogenic". Such people are basically not born to be actors with good looks.
In order to show the best appearance of the actors in front of the camera, the camera angle must be selected. Those movie faces that can be shot casually without choosing angles are very rare, and they can be said to be the giant pandas of the film and television industry.
Hyakumegusa obviously does not have this kind of movie face, and what's even more unfortunate is that almost most of the time when he appears in this movie, the camera is following and shooting him from the least photogenic angles.
Professionals like Nanaya and Ori can see the problem at a glance. Although ordinary audiences may not feel it, they will feel very uncomfortable in their hearts and subconsciously think that the Hyakumegusa on the screen is ugly.
You know, Hyakumekusa's appearance can be said to be the biggest selling point of the movie, and it is also the incentive for the producers to encourage fans to watch more. But now this biggest selling point has been messed up by the director in a retaliatory way, causing the die-hard fans of this movie to give up on the movie.
After all, everyone goes to the cinema to see the handsome face of their idol, but you make him look so ugly, who would be willing to take a second look?
When they walked out of the cinema, Ori said with some sympathy: "Teacher, he really has the guts to do that."
"Yeah, not everyone can destroy their own future." Nanaya nodded in agreement. He felt lucky that he dragged Ori to watch the movie together. If he was alone, he probably wouldn't be able to hold on to watch the whole movie.
Watching a bad movie is not a pain, but the pain is not being able to share it with others. After having a friend to complain about the movie with, Nanaya managed to finish watching the movie.
"That guy, Hyakumegusa, is done with movies. It's a pity for the teacher."
Nanaya believed that his teacher should be well aware of the consequences of his actions. In this case, the teacher was using his future reputation as a director to take revenge on this guy, Hyakumesa.
"I always feel that the teacher spoils me too much." Nanaya sighed, he took out his cell phone and called Ryutani Nobuyuki.
"What's up? Kiryu boy, have you finished watching the movie?" Nobuyuki on the other end of the phone asked in a joking tone.
"I'm really lucky to have a teacher like this."
Nanaya's tone of answer was very sincere. He had never been so fortunate to be the teacher's disciple.
"Haha, I think Ryuichi will be very happy to hear this." Nobuyuki laughed, "Well, come to Lin Bao now, I have a gift for you. Just consider it a reward for the box office success of Kara Kyoukai."
To be honest, Nanaya didn't want to go at all. After all, it was too tiring to communicate with such a big shot as Ryutani Nobuyuki, especially when he was alone.
However, Nanaya had no power to refuse the old man's request, unless he didn't want to stay in this circle anymore.
So after hurriedly saying goodbye to Ori, Nanaya rushed to the headquarters of Linbao Company as quickly as possible.
After giving his name at the front desk, Nanaya originally thought that he would be taken to a conference room. However, the front desk told him that the place he was going to was neither a conference room nor the negotiation room he often went to when he came to [Lin Bao], but the chairman's office where he went when he first came here.
Walking into the office, Nanaya found that everything here was no different from when he came here half a year ago, even Ryutani Nobuyuki's sitting posture was exactly the same as before.
The only difference is that there is one more thing in the room.
No, this is not a thing.
"Um...Go...Kiryu-san."
"Hey, isn't this our big star, Mr. Hyakumesa? How come the big idol who was once so famous has become like this?"
Just as this guy had mocked Nanaya before, Nanaya mocked him back harshly this time.
At this time, Hyakumekusa had lost his original high spirits. He knelt on the floor of the boardroom. After hearing Nanaya's words, he put on a weak smile on his face and cast an almost flattering look at Nanaya.
But Nanaya ignored him and walked towards the chairman's desk.
When Nanaya passed by Hyakumekusa, he subconsciously shrank. At this time, Hyakumekusa had drooped shoulders and his skin was no longer as radiant as before. Although the air conditioner in the office was running, he kept wiping his face with a handkerchief. Nanaya thought he might be trying to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, but the actual result of this behavior was that the makeup powder on his face fell on the carpet.
[This high-quality cashmere carpet is ruined...]
Nanaya felt sorry for the old man, but the other party seemed indifferent.
Ryutani Nobuyuki didn't say anything after Nanaya walked in. He just sat quietly in his seat, holding his chin with both hands, carefully observing the interaction and communication between the two.
"Director Kiryu, I'm really sorry about what happened last time!"
Just when Nanaya was about to walk to the chairman's desk, Hyakumekusa suddenly dragged his two legs towards him. His awkward movement posture made him look like a zombie with a broken leg.
Nanaya's body reacted instinctively—he kicked Hyakumesa in the face.
However, what surprised Nanaya was that Hyakumekusa, who used to cherish her face as if it were her life, took a kick from Nanaya this time, and then took the initiative to hug Nanaya's thigh.
[Fuck, let me go! I'll get a tumor!]
Because there was a big guy in the room, Nanaya didn't dare to yell and could only swing his legs hard, but the other party didn't seem to have any intention of letting go.
"Director Kiryu, you are the only one who can save me now. After your movie became a success, I was abandoned by J-Company. Don't you think this is too much?"
[It's none of my business! ]
"Abandon? Aren't you the idol they are currently promoting?"
Nanaya's question made Hyakumekusa freeze.
"With the failure of my movie, J Company will no longer invest any resources in me. I am completely useless to J Company."
"And then? Why did you come to me? My movie was a success, yours failed, so you have to beg me? What kind of logic is this?"
Although Hyakumesa's words sounded pitiful, Nanaya was not moved at all.
Nanaya was looking for the old fox who had been sitting in the chair without saying a word from beginning to end, hoping to get the answer from him.
Ryutani Nobuyuki pondered for a while, then slowly said: "Of course, after all, compared to this useless person, the J family wants you, Kiryu, more."
"I'm not an idol."
"It should be your ability to direct movies. No matter how popular you are, if you don't have good works to support it, these things are rootless. You have the ability to make blockbuster movies, and you are the one that J-Company most wants to cooperate with."
"So this person who had a conflict with me was abandoned just like that? If this guy continues to stay in the singing circle, he should still be able to generate profits." Nanaya felt that it was a bit unrealistic, and he probably hadn't reached that point yet.
"The current boss of J Company has a quick temper. In her eyes, there are only useful people and useless people. After Hyakumekusa failed in this movie, he became a useless person. A useless person actually offended a useful person. What would you choose in this situation? More importantly, this useless person actually tripped up the film project of the cooperative company, which is even more taboo."
"I see." Nanaya nodded his head. He felt that the J family should be more afraid of offending Lin Bao, and he, a small director, was probably just a byproduct.
"Please, Chairman Ryutani. Please forgive me, an ignorant child! As long as you ask, I should be able to get another chance!"
Hyakumekusa rested his hands on the high-quality cashmere carpet and kowtowed to Ryutani Nobuyuki.
Nobuyuki showed obvious impatience on his face, and Nanaya estimated that he was probably worried about his carpet. After all, if it was just powder falling off, it wouldn't be a big problem to clean it up; but now Hyakumekusa's actions have spread the powder everywhere, and it will become very troublesome to clean it up.
"Kiryu, you can do whatever you want with him. This is the condition we agreed on before."
Hyakumekusa was like a toy that had forgotten to be wound up. He turned his head and looked at Nanaya. His pale face had turned into an abnormal iron blue color. His silver hair seemed to have not been taken care of for a long time and looked dirty and messy. His face, which was once extremely confident, now only had flattery in his eyes when he looked at Nanaya.
Nanaya took the initiative to step forward, grabbed the other person's chest and pulled him up from the ground.
A glimmer of hope appeared on Hyakumekusa's face. He thought Nanaya had forgiven him.
But he was wrong.
Nanaya showed an expression of disgust on his face. Although during the most difficult times before, Nanaya did have the idea of beating the other party up if he saw him again, he no longer had the interest.
However, this does not mean that Nanaya will let him go.
Bang!
Nanaya's fist hit the opponent's face hard. With the previous kick, the opponent's face, which was once described as handsome by the media, had become a little swollen.
There was a look of surprise in Hyakumekusa's eyes and a hint of anger flashed across his face, but it quickly wilted.
Now he doesn't even have the right to be angry.
"This punch has nothing to do with your personal grudge! I punched him on behalf of the other crew members of the "Kara no Kyoukai" crew. You are a guy who plays with others at will. What do you think of everyone's hard work and dedication?!"
Nanaya once again grabbed the guy's chest and lifted his feet off the ground. Thinking that Nanaya was going to hit him again, he kept making scared noises and protected his head with both hands.
"Hyakume Tsuchin! Listen to me! I am indeed a country bumpkin who crawled out of the mountains, but because of this, if anyone dares to attack me, I will fight back! If you dare to appear in front of me or cause trouble for us again next time, I will beat you to the point of peeing even if I am caught by the police! Do you hear me! Get out of here, I will never forgive you!"
"Wuwuwu…Wuwuwu…"
Hyakumekusa whimpered in pain, looking like a bullied child. After Nanaya let go of his hand, he knelt down dejectedly, his head drooping as if it was broken, and the whole person seemed to have lost his vitality.
At this moment, the popular idol was completely defeated by the country bumpkin director.
REFLEXIONES DE LOS CREADORES 
Onigiri
Onigiri pS: The movie "Paint Drying" is about a wall with white paint on it, and then watching the white paint dry little by little...
Well, nothing else changed, the camera positions and depth of field and all that. It was just paint drying, and we had 10 hours on set.
This movie was shot by a British guy to protest against the censorship of British films.
Because the British film censorship system is very bad, it is the kind that falls into the money. A movie must first pay a fee of 101.5 pounds, and the rest is charged according to the length of the movie, 7.09 pounds per minute.
So this guy raised funds for the review fee on the platform from netizens who were equally dissatisfied, intending to pay the reviewer to waste 10 hours of his life as revenge.
What's even more embarrassing is that the reviewer actually spent two days watching the movie (the reviewer works 9 hours a day and cannot finish it in one day), and gave it a rating indicating that the guy can release it.
Is this considered British old-fashioned?
