章節 112: Chapter 112: Did Shohoku beat Sannoh?
Although he still decided to go to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year this year, Nanaya did not rush to the Kyoto train station as soon as he got off the plane.
Qi Ye first went back to [Erque Studio]. He had not been in the studio for more than half a year and there were already a lot of things he needed to deal with.
Although he would take time to deal with some of the most important things while in New Zealand, Ori would also help to get some of them done before going to New Zealand.
However, there are still many things that Nanaya needs to deal with, the most of which are various documents that need his personal signature and various accounts of the studio in the past year.
It took Nanaya three full days to get rid of all the accumulated things, and then he took another day to visit his teacher Hanai Ryuichi and Illya's grandfather Ryutani Nobuyuki respectively.
The former was very happy about Nanaya's development and even took him and Ori home for lunch.
The latter caught Nanaya and gave him a good beating because of Nanaya's previous offline release in Europe and the United States.
So much so that when Nanaya got on the train to Kyoto the next day, he was still in a daze and had to lie down directly at the train station without anyone to support him.
But Nanaya's sacrifice was not in vain.
"Mr. Nobuyuki has approved the filming plan for the second and third chapters of Kara no Kyoukai."
On the train, Nanaya rubbed his head and explained to Ori weakly.
"Really?"
"Yeah..." Nanaya nodded, and he told Ori about the next arrangements. "It will start shooting in the second half of next year. We will shoot two chapters back to back, and then try to release them in 2003 and 2004 respectively."
"Grandpa Ryutani actually agreed to this?" Ori was a little surprised when he heard that two films would be shot in succession.
"Yes, he is also afraid that the failure of my Goblin Slayer will have an impact on the "Kara" project, so he plans to plan it out first."
Not only Ryutani Nobuyuki was afraid, but Nanaya himself was also afraid, otherwise he would not have agreed to the plan to shoot two consecutive parts of the second and third chapters of "Kara no Kyoukai".
It is very difficult to determine whether a movie will be successful before it is released. The only thing the producers can do is to create as many conditions as possible that are conducive to success.
The same goes for Nanaya. He has tried his best to make "Goblin Slayer", but we will have to wait until "Goblin Slayer" is released to know what the final result will be.
But the only thing that slightly relieved his stress was that even if "Goblin Slayer" was not successful, he could only go to Tokyo Bay to take a bath at most, and at least he would not have to live there forever.
For Washimine Shion, the success of Goblin Slayer has become less of a priority. This year, she has gradually established a firm position in Washimine's top management through the cooperation and joint development between Nanaya and Weta Workshop.
In addition, after Rin and Luvia returned to Trier, the idol group began to make a renewed effort to challenge Morning Musume.
Whether it is Washimine's original gaming business or the new entertainment business, Shion has achieved certain results.
These achievements made the employees begin to believe in this female boss who came out of nowhere.
As long as "Goblin Slayer" does not fail like MGM's "Windtalkers", even if this movie suffers a slight loss, it will not shake Shion's position. At most, his prestige will be slightly damaged.
"So, that Ori..."
Nanaya glanced at Ori secretly, and he kept considering his words in his mind.
"What's wrong?"
"Look, the filming of 'Kara no Kyoukai' is about to start..."
Ori returned a brilliant smile: "If you want me to play the leading female role, please allow me to refuse."
"…"
Nanaya immediately became dejected. Ori's rejection was so refreshing that he couldn't even utter the words he had prepared.
"Why? Didn't we have a great time working together on 'Overlooking the Scenery'? And you even won the Best Actress award at the Hochi Film Awards."
"It's because I've already got it that I don't want to act anymore. After all, I've given my sister the honor she deserves, and now I want to fight for myself." The smile on Ori's face did not change. "After all, it's easy to be tied to the same role if you always play the same role, especially since my main job is directing. Be your own Ryougi Ori, this is what you said yourself, senior."
"These shouldn't be my original words, right?" Nanaya felt that he had been tricked by himself again.
"That's about the meaning." Ori nodded.
"But except for you, no one else will buy it..." Nanaya felt very distressed. He glanced at Ori with the corner of his eyes, calculating in his mind the possibility of persuading Ori by using soft and hard persuasion.
"Senior, don't try to drag me into this. This time is different from the past. If you directly announce the audition for Ryougi Shiki, countless good actors will come to audition."
Ori directly blocked Nanaya with words. He knew Nanaya too well. He knew what his senior brother wanted to do just by looking at him.
"…"
Nanaya felt that having a junior brother who shared the same thoughts with him was not a particularly good thing.
During the rest of the journey, Nanaya tried to persuade Ori with various reasons, but was rejected by Ori. Even when getting off the bus, Nanaya still failed to persuade Ori to continue playing the role of Ryougi Shiki.
Nanaya was very unwilling, but this time, Ori seemed determined to refuse. The reason was what Ori said at the beginning, he didn't want to be bound by the role of Ryougi Shiki.
Of course, Nanaya felt that it was more likely that Ori did not want to be his sister's shadow forever. Although Ori himself was not very satisfied with the "The Solitary Gourmet" that he completed alone this year, it also made him see the possibility of his own success as Ryougi Ori.
From the perspective of Senior Brother Ori, Nanaya is very happy, but from the perspective of the director of "Kara no Kyoukai", it is very painful.
Changing the lead actor in a movie series has always been taboo, especially if the character is a very successful one.
Why can Disney tolerate Depp and Robert Downey Jr. repeatedly asking for more money for the roles of Captain Jack Sparrow and Tony Stark?
It's because these two roles were so successful that no one is willing to take the risk of changing actors.
Of course, these two actors are worthy of their pay, as can be seen from the fact that Captain Jack Sparrow and Iron Man became the most successful commercial film characters in the first 20 years of the 21st century.
In fact, Nanaya is not completely helpless against Ori. If he really wants to lose face, Nanaya still has a trick. For example, he will act like a spoiled child to Ryougi Kiyomi at the dinner table of Ryougi's house. With the way Mrs. Ryougi looks at Nanaya as if she is looking at her son-in-law, she will definitely put pressure on Ori. And Ori has always found it difficult to refuse his mother's request, so agreeing to participate in "Kara no Kyoukai" is definitely not a problem.
But if this happened, Nanaya estimated that Ori would probably hate him to death. After all, what he did was no different from dancing on a grave.
"Master Ori, Master Kiryu. Long time no see."
As expected, Nanaya and Ori met Morikawa Sugai who had been waiting for a long time at the entrance of the train station. The other party still looked as if he didn't care about anything. But when Nanaya saw Ori, he could still feel a smile on his poker face.
"Long time no see, Mr. Morikawa."
Nanaya greeted the housekeeper of the Ryougi family with a smile, and then helped him put his and Ori's luggage into the trunk of the car.
As soon as he got in the car, Ori said to Morikawa Sugai, "Sugai, don't go home yet."
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Before I got on the train, my father called me and told me to go to my sister's place first." Ori explained, "He said that my mother's family had guests this morning and asked me to stay away for a while. It was a good time for me to go see my sister first. I haven't seen her for a year."
"Did the master say that?"
The expression on Morikawa Sugai's face became very surprised, but then he calmed down.
"Okay, I understand."
Later on the journey, Morikawa Sugai brought Ori and Nanaya to the hospital without saying a word.
It is probably because of the approaching New Year, even in Kyoto, there are not many cars on the road. According to Ori, these two days are the quietest time for traffic in Kyoto, because foreigners have gone home, and tourists will wait until the New Year to come.
Soon, Morikawa Sugai parked the car in front of the hospital.
"Two young masters, please."
"Mr. Morikawa, don't you want to go see Ori's sister?" Nanaya originally thought that the other party would park the car in the parking lot and go down with them.
"The young master hasn't met the eldest lady for a year, so I won't get involved. I'll come back to pick up the two young masters later, and I hope you get along well."
After saying this, Morikawa Sugai drove away from the hospital.
Nanaya was a little curious about Morikawa Sugai's attitude, but he didn't think much about it and just followed Ori to Ryougi Shiki's ward.
Just as Nanaya remembered, Ryougi Shiki's ward was almost the same as it was a year ago. It still had the same feel, except that there were a few more books on the bookshelf next to it.
The owner of the hospital bed, Ryougi Shiki, was still lying quietly in bed, as if she was asleep, just like last year.
"Sister, my senior and I are here to see you."
Ori sighed at Shiki who was lying on the bed, and he reached out to touch his sister's hair.
Pop.
Suddenly, Ryougi Shiki opened her eyes, and she reached out her hand hidden under the quilt and grabbed Ori's wrist.
"Hey, Ori. I want to ask, did Shohoku finally beat Sannoh?"
Ryougi Shiki gave Ori a very warm smile.
"..."
"..."
"..."
This sudden change scared Nanaya and Ori half to death, and the ward fell into a strange silence for a while.
Ori looked at his sister who had already woken up, then his eyes rolled back and he fell to the ground and fainted.
Nanaya had an awkward expression on his face. He stared at Ryougi Shiki for a long time before finally saying, "Sister, you are really eloquent."
