Movie Queen Development Plan

There was a hint of arrogance on the other person's face, which was typical of a big star's agent.

Nanaya just nodded slightly and took the business card handed over by the other party.

"I see."

"that..."

The agent looked a little embarrassed. He originally thought that Nanaya would stand up and greet him, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't even hand him a business card.

"Any questions?"

Nanaya didn't seem to notice the other party's embarrassed expression, and he gestured for him to sit down.

"Nothing..."

The other party clenched his fists. Ever since Matsushima Nanako became famous, he hadn't met anyone who was so rude to him for a long time.

But when the agent thought about the other party's identity as a director with a box office of tens of billions, he could only turn a blind eye to Nanaya's attitude.

And Nanaya, he did it on purpose.

If it was Nanako Matsushima herself, Nana might be a little more polite because she was a beauty. Why are you, a manager, showing off here?

Do you know Ryutani Nobuyuki? The movie king of Japan, I had a lot of fun chatting with him.

Who do you think you are as a small agent?

"That's right, Director Kiryu."

The agent pushed up his metal-rimmed glasses, and he forced a smile and said, "Ms. Matsushima wants to play a role in your new movie."

"This is a series of movies, and the main roles will continue to be played by the old actors. If Ms. Matsushima is just a cameo, I would welcome it very much."

Nanaya didn't really want Matsushima Nanako to join the crew. From the very beginning, the attitude of the other party's agency and agent was a bit arrogant, which made Nanaya very uncomfortable.

Perhaps in the eyes of others, Nanako Matsushima is a popular female star in Japan, so it is natural for them to be a little arrogant.

But Nanaya really didn't like their attitude, especially since he had just suffered a setback at the hands of Lin Bao and was particularly sensitive to this kind of superior attitude.

"Director Kiryu, you're kidding. Lin Bao has already issued an audition invitation for your latest movie. Isn't there a female character with a significant role in it?"

The agent laughed awkwardly. It had been a long time since Matsushima Nanako had made a cameo appearance, except as a friendly guest appearance.

Moreover, it is impossible for her own clients to do so now. After all, with Matsushima Nanako's current status, how could she lower herself to serve as a foil?

If "Kara no Kyoukai" wasn't a series of movies, the heroine would have been decided long ago, and Matsushima Nanako should have auditioned for the heroine role of Ryougi Shiki.

"That character..."

Nanaya thought about it for a while, "First of all, this character will be a villain. Another point is that this character's situation may affect Miss Matsushima's image."

Celebrities, especially big ones, have very high requirements for the roles they play.

Some stars will demand that they won't play any role unless it's a decent one; some stars will demand that no matter what role they play, there must be no scenes of disfigurement; some even go so far as to write in their contracts how many times they are punched in the movie, how heavy the punches are, and the extent of the scars on their faces.

This is also why Nanaya doesn't like to invite big stars. Not only is it expensive, but they are also really difficult to serve.

No one likes to invite an emperor into their crew, as that will only cause trouble for themselves.

Not to mention that the current Matsushima Nanako is not suitable for the role of Fujino, because the current Nanako lacks a kind of nobility.

Maybe in a few years Nanako Matsushima will be able to act like a young lady, but by then she will be too old.

"Excuse me, what kind of role is it?"

The agent's question made Nanaya a little annoyed, but he still gave a brief explanation of the setting of Asagami Fujino.

Nanaya was not afraid that this guy would spread the word.

Not being talkative is the most basic professional ethics in the brokerage industry.

"That's no problem."

After hearing what Nanaya said, the agent waved his hand and said casually: "When the violence is committed, just let the character awaken his ability to resist. This way, there will be no problem of affecting Miss Matsushima's reputation."

"…"

Nanaya's black eyes narrowed slightly, and he felt his own anger.

Although Nanaya himself did have the idea of modifying Fujino's settings, this was his own business as a director. As an agent, he wanted to make decisions for him as a director, which was what Nanaya hated the most.

He, Nanaya Kiryu, is the core and the only core of the set.

Whether it was "Kara no Kyoukai", "MagicaI" or the latest "Goblin Slayer", he was a unique presence in the crew.

"I'll consider that."

"consider?"

The agent was puzzled by Nanaya's answer. Is there anything to consider about this matter? You know, your client is Nanako Matsushima. Shouldn't you make the decision immediately?

"I will hold an audition in the near future. Miss Matsushima, please go there for the audition."

"Audition meeting?"

Are you going to select your own customers together with those vulgar women?

"Director Kiryu, I may not be able to understand what you mean. My client is Miss Matsushima Nanako, she is a top star in Japan."

"Don't threaten me." Nanaya was even tougher than the other party in terms of momentum. "Who I want to work with is my own choice. It has nothing to do with who the actor is. You know, I have never lacked actors to work with. I will only give every actor an equal opportunity and let everyone speak with their acting skills."

This is pure nonsense, Nanaya has never done this in any of his works. But he looked very righteous when he said this.

Finally, Nanaya made a gesture of invitation: "I hope to see Miss Matsushima at the audition. Please come in."

[Even if you come to audition, I won't give you the role. ]

Nanaya thought so in his heart.

"Snort."

The agent left in anger, as if he felt that the director was unreasonable.

"Senior, I think if you had spoken nicely just now, it wouldn't have turned out like this."

Ori handed the brewed tea to Nanaya.

"It's been hot lately, and I'm really hot. It's so hot--!!"

Nanaya snorted coldly, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, but was scalded by the boiling water and cried out in pain.

"I can see that you are quite angry."

In response to Nanaya's dancing, Ori just replied calmly.

"Kiryu-san, you can't drink hot tea in a hurry~"

"You can't eat hot tofu in a hurry!"

"That's about it. You have to be patient anyway." Lily said with a playful expression, "It was the same when I was pursuing my sister. She doesn't like impatient guys."

"This has nothing to do with her, right?"

"Oh~" Ori raised his eyebrows and put his hand on Nanaya's shoulder. "Can you tell me about this lady's sister, senior?"

[It's over…]

Ori's smile made Nanaya sweat profusely.

In the next three hours, Ori gave a detailed and serious criticism of Nanaya's rude behavior after drinking, from top to bottom, from front to back, and from inside to outside.

During the whole process, Nanaya was sitting on the floor.

——————————————————————————————————————————————

"Sure enough, wine is not a good thing at all."

Nanaya said with lingering fear, although it had been several days since the incident. But as long as he recalled it, he could feel the horror of the Demon King Ori.

"No, I don't think it has anything to do with alcohol. It's just that he's more scary."

The person who said this was Ryougi Shiki. She sat next to Nanaya and said speechlessly.

"You sound like you have a lot of experience?"

Seeing Shiki's expression, Nanaya believed that the other party must have a very fascinating story.

Shiki complained without thinking, "I was really tortured by Ori this time when I went back home. He was in charge of everything, and because I left him on the train before, he kept an eye on me the whole time. He even stood outside the cubicle to block the door when I went to the toilet! I'm not a criminal! Do I need to be watched 24 hours a day?!"

"The ladies' room?"

Nanaya suddenly became energetic.

Shiki curled her lips and said, "With that face, no one would chase him away even if he went into the women's bathhouse!"

Nanaya thought so too, and the women's restroom was all cubicle-based. Unless Ori had a habit of peeping through the gaps by pulling on the partitions, there was no chance that she would see something she shouldn't see.

"This is already restricting my personal freedom! I can even call the police!" Shiki became more and more excited, "I tried to escape several times but failed!"

"…"

Nanaya felt that he was too young to have felt sympathy for Shiki just now, and this woman deserved it.

"Director Kiryu, this is the list of people for the audition."

A Linbao staff member handed Nanaya a thick folder.

"Okay." Nanaya nodded, "Is Matsushima Nanako here?"

[Who would come after you did that? ]

"No."

The staff member had an awkward expression on his face, as he had heard about Nanaya's quarrel with the other party's agent.

In fact, after the unpleasant communication with the agent, Matsushima Nanako herself called to apologize to Nana. Nana was also very generous and forgave the agent's rudeness and invited him to audition again.

But since both sides have come to this point, it is impossible for Matsushima Nanako to come for the audition again. Although the other party did not say it clearly on the phone, Nanaya still heard this meaning.

"Really? Let's get started. Let the actors outside come in one by one according to their numbers."

Today is the audition day for "The Hollow Shrine".

Because the two movies were shot back-to-back, Nanaya arranged the auditions for the actors of the two movies together. Not only Asagami Fujino, but other characters that will appear in the movies will also participate in the audition.

Ryougi Shiki was pulled over by Nanaya to watch. Today, there were so many actors with varying levels of performance, which was a very good experience for Shiki.

"So boring——"

Shiki yawned in an ungraceful manner, and then Nanaya patted her on the head.

"Be serious."

"But it's really boring." Shiki complained, "Even Lily isn't here, am I just going to watch like an idiot by myself?"

Recently, Shiki has become very familiar with Lily, who often comes to visit. Together with Yumi who follows a few people around, and Illya who comes to play from time to time, the four of them form a group of little brats called [Erque Studio].

Although Ryougi Shiki is not a brat in terms of age, she still has the mentality of a middle school student so it is not wrong to call her a child.

"Don't worry, it won't be boring. I'll find something for you to do."

Nanaya knew very well that the sister and brother of Ori in front of him were completely two extremes. Ori could sit quietly for a whole day, but Shiki could not calm down at all.

Ori has always said that she is imitating her sister, but Nanaya now feels that Ori may just be imitating the sister in her mind.

After all, the gap between the woman in front of him and Ori's description is simply the gap between the seller's show and the buyer's show.

"How about this, Shiki." Nanaya handed her a blank notebook, "Wait a minute and you will record the performance of each auditionee, including both their strengths and weaknesses. Don't be lazy, I will check it. If you just deal with it casually, I will hand you over to Ori to deal with."

"No—don't—ah!"

So, when actor No. 1 who participated in the audition came in, he saw the famous actor [Ryougi Ori] crying with his head in his hands.
