章節 76: Chapter 76 Backdoor (Happy Halloween)

After completing all the tasks related to "Magical Girl Illya", Nanaya can finally free up his hands to start the preliminary preparations for "Goblin Slayer".

Nanaya has already asked the team of designers invited by Shion Washimine to prepare the design sketches of the characters and monsters. When the time comes, Nanaya will pick out a set of designs that he likes the most from several different designs and modify them.

What Nanaya needs to do now is to prepare several candidates for the leading roles.

Like most directors, Nanaya definitely wants to choose actors that he is familiar with. So for the female lead, Priestess, Nanaya prefers Luvia.

Of course, this is just a tendency. Whether Luvia can become the heroine in the end depends on the intention of Washimine. I heard that the chairman's daughter has asked Washimine's staff in North America to go to Hollywood to select the right main actor. I don't know whether the actor finally selected can satisfy Nanaya.

It's not just the problem of the female lead, the selection of the male lead is also a headache for Nanaya.

Although this is just an R-rated movie, it is still a $60 million production. There must be famous actors in Europe and the United States willing to play the role of Goblin Slayer, but whether they can accept the setting that Goblin Slayer does not show his face throughout the whole process is a question.

In particular, the producers of this film are Washimine, who is not in the entertainment industry, and Nanaya, a small director who is not particularly famous in Japan. It would be a serious problem whether those difficult male stars would force Nanaya to change the setting.

However, in Japan, many actors are interested in Nanaya's new movie. Although a small number of them showed fear after hearing that it was an R-rated movie, the vast majority of actors immediately requested cooperation after learning that Nanaya would use violence as its main selling point.

Even Illya came over to join in the fun, clamoring to play a role in it.

After hearing Illya's self-recommendation, Nanaya was so scared that he immediately rejected her: "Don't make a fuss, I'm not filming "Wolverine", I don't need the role of a little girl."

Just kidding. If Ryutani Nobuyuki knew that I invited her precious granddaughter to star in an R-rated movie, I'm afraid she would have moved into Tokyo Bay before the filming was even finished.

"Puu, big brother is bullying me!" However, Nanaya's answer did not satisfy Illya. She lay on Nanaya's back and acted coquettishly.

Fortunately, the little loli was the type that was easy to appease, and Nanaya easily persuaded her to give up the idea of playing a role in "Goblin Slayer".

However, some people are not so easy to deal with, such as the woman who now appears in Nanaya's office and stands opposite Nanaya.

"Brother Nanaya, I heard that you recently took on a big project."

"Yeah, Hoshisora...sister."

Nanaya dealt with this "sister" cautiously. He and Washimine had not officially announced the project of "Goblin Slayer" yet, but the woman in front of him had already come to them.

Hoshisora had a bright smile on his face, "Hey, Nanaya, don't you think my kids would be perfect for starring in your movie?"

"Well..." Nanaya glanced to the other side. He didn't dare to look directly at this elder sister.

However, the other party was not going to let him go like this. Hoshisora stretched out his white fingers and gently scratched the back of Nanaya's hand twice.

Hoshisora sat on Nanaya's desk. She leaned close to Nanaya's ear and whispered, "Don't worry, the people I recommend to you are all top-notch in appearance, image, and temperament. They are definitely worth the cost of your movie."

"Hiss--"

Nanaya took a breath and quickly closed his eyes to prevent himself from seeing anything he shouldn't see.

"Sister, you want to decide right away, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"

"What's wrong with that? Can you find better actors than those brats in my family, Nanaya?"

Hoshisora moved closer, and Nanaya felt his hands touching the stockings on her thighs.

"Dear guest, please have some tea!"

Just when Nanaya was about to surrender, Ori appeared and saved him.

"My dear guest, this is a serious movie studio. If your inner spring arrives early, you can go to Ginza. You will definitely find your favorite duck there!"

Ori placed the cup filled with hot tea heavily on the table.

Hoshisora jumped down from the desk lightly to avoid the spilled tea, but Nanaya was not so lucky. Because he was completely led by Hoshisora, his reaction was half a beat slower.

As a result, the back of his hand was splashed with scalding tea.

"Ouch!"

Nanaya let out a cry of pain and jumped up from his position.

"Are you a little more awake now?" Ori snorted at Nanaya without any courtesy, "I think your soul has been hooked away."

"Ah~" Hoshisora raised the corner of her mouth, she seemed to have seen something interesting, "Hey, brother Ryougi, are you interested in coming to our agency? I have a lot of experience with male stars~"

"No need, I have no interest in doing..."

Ori said half a sentence reflexively, then suddenly reacted and looked at the smiling woman in front of him with wide eyes.

"How do you know that?"

Shocked, Ori directly addressed him as "you".

"Sister, after all, I'm in the male star business. Although you are indeed very beautiful, Ryougi, a boy is a boy. I can tell at a glance. This is probably the experience of life."

"Life experience, you clearly claim to be 18 years old." Nanaya said with an unhappy look on his face, covering the back of his scalded hand.

Hoshisora smiled and corrected Nanaya's mistake: "You are wrong. It's already past the New Year. Sister, I am 17 years old now~"

"You are actually growing younger than before!" Nanaya finally saw what it means to be truly shameless.

"This lady is really interesting."

Ota Shunya didn't know when he came to Ori's side. "Especially for the setting that people care about age, I always feel like it can be included in my game."

"Then just add it in." Ori gritted her teeth and glared at Hoshisora who was communicating with Nanaya. If Ota Shunya wanted to discredit this woman, she would fully support him.

"No..." Ota Shunya said regretfully, "I don't want to add too many settings to my characters. This will limit my fans' secondary creations."

"Why don't you just open a small account on 2CH and pretend to be a fan, and add this setting in the name of the fan! That way people who like it will use it, and people who don't like it won't use this setting."

Ori directly told the dirty tricks used by his predecessor.

"That's a good idea, but why are you so skilled at it, Ryougi-san?"

Shunya Ota always felt that he seemed to have discovered some great secret.
