Despite many twists and turns in the process, the interview has finally come to an end.
In the auditorium, Nanaya and Shion had already left.
The reporters in the front row packed up their equipment and prepared to go back to work.
Some reporters are still communicating privately.
"How about it, have you set the tone for today's report?" a reporter wearing glasses asked his colleague.
Another reporter said without even looking up: "Need I say more? It must be a compliment."
Another reporter with a Mediterranean hairstyle came over and said in a low voice, "I just tried to find out what Channel 6 was saying."
"What do you mean?"
The Channel 6' attitude is the official attitude, which is very important to all reporters.
Mediterranean said mysteriously: "The focus of their report is on Nanaya Kiryu's Chinese segment, and they will especially emphasize Nanaya Kiryu's familiarity and love for us. They will also highlight the fact that Nanaya Kiryu mentioned the participation of Chinese actors at the end."
"I see." The reporter with glasses piled up his glasses and said, "It's right to follow their tune, and Nanaya Kiryu does give everyone a very good impression."
A reporter gloated: "But I'm afraid those movie people won't be happy?"
"Let us fuck them. They all looked up when they were interviewed. Even the world's No. 1, Nanaya Kiryu, wasn't that arrogant."
"That makes sense. This is the gap between Hollywood and us."
"I think he is Japanese?"
A few people chatted while busying themselves with the work at hand.
At this time, Nanaya was walking into the lounge through the backstage.
Sera followed him quietly.
Nanaya knew that the other party was protecting him as a personal bodyguard.
Although Nanaya felt that Sera was really making a fuss out of nothing, he didn't say much. After all, not everyone knew this place as well as he did.
Even if I told her, Sera would probably resist by citing her duties as a maid.
However, Nanaya himself has never worried about his own safety.
As long as he stayed in the imperial capital, Nanaya didn't think he would be threatened in any way.
This is definitely the safest city in the world, bar none.
Let alone free America, happy shootings every day.
Even in Tokyo, Nanaya suspected that the public security was not as good as in the imperial capital.
The event went extremely smoothly, and representatives from the organizers and the Imperial Capital Film Academy came over to congratulate Nanaya.
Nanaya was very polite when he spoke, and was always paying attention to building a good personal image to gain points for himself in front of these people.
After all the polite formalities were completed, Nanaya and Shion walked out of the lounge together, preparing to return to the hotel.
Because he had a business dinner in the evening.
As soon as she got in the car, Shion started complaining.
"I think it's too early for you to announce it. Haven't we decided yet?"
"It's fine."
Nanaya waved his hand: "Although it has not been decided yet, don't we already have an idea? Compared with Chinese, I think it would be better to use local actors."
"But isn't that too early?"
Shion was still a little hesitant, "There's no Chinese story in the first batch of FGO movies."
The so-called first batch refers to the prologue that Nanaya will start shooting this year, the Hundred Years War of the Evil Dragon directed by Peter Jackson, and Shimotsuna Province shot by Lin Bao.
What Shion said does make sense, but Nanaya also has his own considerations.
He explained to Shion: "It's okay, FGO movies are basically shot back to back."
"In other words, the second batch of films will start shooting in one year at the latest."
"The population here is huge, and once the auditions are held, more than a year will pass in no time."
"I just thought you were a little too much." Shion said angrily, "The first batch of actors haven't been decided yet!" Nanaya comforted him, "Don't worry, the first prologue to be filmed will take place in Fuyuki City, so we can just use the FSN cast."
"The singularity is fine, but what about the members of Chaldea?!"
Shion pulled Nanaya's collar and said in a shocked voice: "The five roles in the protagonist team are all vacant!!"
In Shion's opinion, Nanaya has really been becoming more and more capricious recently.
"What do you think I went back to Japan for? To discuss this matter."
Finding that Shion was really a little angry, Nanaya quickly begged for mercy.
"Besides, I already have some ideas about who to choose. It's just that I need to think more about a few of the individuals."
This is of course a perfunctory statement.
In fact, apart from Yumi playing Mashu and Kujo Fuu being the backup for Gudako, there are no candidates for the other three roles - the doctor, the profiteer and Gudao.
But Nanaya didn't completely have no ideas at all.
As Gudao is the protagonist of the entire FGO series, Nanaya hopes to choose a Japanese newcomer to play the role.
Preferably one that has just debuted.
When Gudao was forced to do something in the beginning of the movie and then matured in the final chapter.
And the audience in the real world can also feel the growth of the actors.
The feeling of accompanying each other through experiences can be used as a selling point in the promotion of FGO actors.
However, Nanaya really hasn't decided who to cast as the husband and wife duo of doctor and profiteer.
Although these two characters have a strong presence in the story, they do not appear on screen for very long.
Of course, this time is compared with the entire FGO from the prologue to the epilogue.
So, this made Nanaya very conflicted.
If I had chosen a less famous actor, I feel like I wouldn't have been able to bring out the value of the character.
But if we invite famous actors, it doesn't seem to be very cost-effective.
On the way back, Nanaya kept thinking about this question.
But in the end I couldn't figure out how to solve it.
So Nanaya could only put this issue aside for the time being, and wait until the Japanese meeting to discuss it with everyone.
When Nanaya and Shion returned to the hotel, it was almost 4:30 in the afternoon.
In order not to be late for the evening party, Nanaya and Shion chose not to rest.
Instead, he quickly changed his clothes and went to the Imperial Capital Hotel to attend the dinner held there.
This dinner was of a strong business nature. Apart from people from Washimine's Chinese branch, most of the participants were partners from China that had business dealings with Washimine.
The only exception is a fan group of Nanaya, who will present gifts to Nanaya as representatives of the Chinese fans.
As for why such a procedure was added, it is naturally because the entire dinner will be followed by the media.
In a word, it's all for publicity.
Washimine Entertainment has already tasted the benefits of all-round publicity in North America.
Therefore, in the China, it is naturally impossible for them not to continue using it.
Just as Nanaya and Shion rushed to the dinner, Xiao Jie Mo and Qin Jue arrived at the agreed meeting place.
Compared to Nanaya who had to go back to the hotel, the two of them went straight here after coming out of the Film Academy.
Plus, the Royal Capital Hotel is very close to the Film Academy.
So when the two girls arrived at their destination, the others hadn't arrived yet.
Xiao Jie Mo stood in a shady place, took out the makeup mirror and cosmetics she carried with her, and started to touch up her makeup in front of the mirror.
She is in her early twenties and looks quite beautiful due to her good natural appearance.
"Do you need to do this?"
The corners of Qin Jue's mouth twitched slightly.
Because Xiao Jie Mo didn't just put on makeup, she also took off her black-framed glasses and put on contact lenses.
Then she undid her braids and changed her hair to straight.
"People passing by are looking at us."
Seeing that Xiao Jie Mo had started to apply powder on her face again, Qin Jue finally reminded her, "You are very beautiful already, you don't need to put on makeup anymore."
Xiao Jie Mo put away the mirror and said, "This time it's very important. It's a pity that there is not enough time, otherwise I would definitely make it better."
"What's important?"
Qin Jue felt a little strange.
Wasabi knew she had said something wrong, so she quickly said, "Of course it's about meeting Nanaya Kiryu! As a fan, of course I have to meet him in my best form."
"Is that so? There was nothing wrong with me when I went to the airport last time."
"But this time we're in a high-end hotel, so of course we have to dress up nicely."
Wasabi-chan nodded and said seriously.
"I see."
Qin Jue nodded.
She always felt that something was wrong with her friend today, but she couldn't put her finger on it.
Unlike the confused Qin Jue, Xiao Jie Mo wanted to be a star since he was a child, so he took the initiative to get involved in the entertainment industry.
So Wasabi-chan knows a lot of messy things.
Her own conditions are not bad, if she is really willing to make some sacrifices in exchange for her own star career.
Wasabi-chan doesn't mind too much.
But the problem is that your sacrifice must be valuable.
Because there are too many scammers claiming to be directors and producers now.
There are too many examples of people who lost their virginity after being cheated and ended up with nothing in return.
There are even many cases where people cheat people for money after having sex with them.
Many of them are not professional scammers, but celebrities in the circle.
All I can say is that celebrities themselves are even more deadly when it comes to deceiving others.
In fact, Xiao Jie Mo was also gambling on what happened today.
After all, no one knows what the true side of Kiryu Nanaya, who appears to be so elegant in front of outsiders, is like.
But today's opportunity is so rare, maybe it will only come once in a lifetime.
What's more, Xiao Jie Mo didn't think he was gambling at all.
Although not as obsessed as Qin Jue, Xiao Jie Mo has also studied the works of Kiryu Nanaya.
After carefully comparing the staff lists of all of Nanaya Kiryu's films, Xiao Jie Mo came to a conclusion.
Nanaya Kiryu is a very nostalgic person.
Basically, as long as she has worked with someone before, Nanaya Kiryu will often work with them for a second time.
This is not about a movie sequel, but a new project.
For example, the main character of "Madoka Magica", Rin Tohsaka, has previously played a role in the Fate series.
For example, the American actor Mark Ruffalo no longer appears in Nanaya Kiryu's movies.
But he was able to star in "The Incredible Hulk" at the recommendation of Nanaya Kiryu.
In addition, Nanaya Kiryu particularly likes to promote members of the idol group Trier under Washimine.
It can be seen that Kiryu Nanaya is not only nostalgic but also protective of his own people.
In Xiao Jie Mo's opinion, a person who is nostalgic and protective of his people should not be a bad person.
At the very least, it is definitely much better than those scums who don't care about their relatives.
