Chapter 405 Are you kidding me?
🕑 Added 2025-07-27 15:03:02 +0000 UTCAfter breakfast, Shion accompanied Nanaya out of the villa.
At this time, Iioka had already driven the car to the door of the villa.
"Where are you going today?" Ziyuan offered, "I'll take you there."
"Let's go to the set." Nanaya rubbed his face and replied, "I still have filming tasks today."
"Really... Then let's go to the set."
Shion nodded and gestured for Iioka to go to their destination.
After arriving at the set, Shion left without even getting out of the car.
As the chairman of the board, she is very busy, and it was a great honor for her to be able to spare a day yesterday.
If it weren't for Nanaya, a creature whose life was related to her, Shion probably wouldn't even have taken this day off.
But to Nanaya, the fact that Shion left so abruptly made it feel a little unreal.
He thought Shion would be on the set with them.
"Well... I didn't say whether I would come to pick you up tonight."
Nanaya scratched his head. Based on his records of dating Rin and Sakura, this should be the time when girls are the clingiest.
But since the target is Shion, it’s hard to say.
"Forget it, I'll email her and ask her later."
Even though I might seem like a gigolo waiting for the rich woman to get off work, but...
"There doesn't seem to be anything wrong."
"What's wrong?"
Someone asked from behind Nanaya.
"I mean Shion she--Rin!"
Only then did Nanaya see clearly who was standing behind him.
Rin asked in a teasing tone: "Why did you take her car to the set? Are you a miser who wants to save even this little car fare?"
"Shion and I attended a Disney celebration party last night. It was too late when we got home, so we stayed at Shion's place."
Nanaya knew that this matter could not be concealed at all. If Lin really wanted to investigate it, it would be easy to find out. He just had to admit it openly.
Of course, he admitted that he was just staying at Shion's house. As for what happened between him and Shion in the villa, it was of course a secret between the two of them.
Sure enough, Lin's eyes narrowed immediately: "Living with her?"
Nanaya said confidently, "Yes, she has been staying at my house for so long, and I didn't charge her rent, so what's wrong with just one night."
Unless Shion has a hobby of photography, no third person would know what happened last night.
Rin said nothing, she held her chin and observed carefully.
Although what Nanaya said was indeed true, the other party's righteous reaction made her feel that something was not right.
You have to know that this guy would try his best to explain to himself whenever he had the slightest friction with that woman, Washimine Shion.
This time he slept in someone else's villa and felt so guiltless. If it wasn't for something fishy going on on his part, then Tohsaka Rin would have read her lines backwards.
But now Rin has no evidence to prove anything, she just simply feels that something is wrong.
So Rin didn't refute it in person, but secretly kept it in mind and would talk about it later.
After all, deep down in her heart she still believed in Nanaya.
"A-choo! Do you have a cold or is someone saying something bad about me?"
Nanaya, who was walking in front, sneezed and rubbed his nose and talked to himself.
However, Nanaya soon put these trivial matters behind him, and immediately got into work mode after entering the set.
There are two parts of scenes shot today. The first part is in HF, where the protagonists led by Shirou go to rescue Illya, and the other part is in FZ, where Kiritsugu confronts Director Ken.
In fact, the footage shot by HF should have been at the gate of Einzbern Castle, but after discussion between Nanaya and Shiki, it was moved inside the castle.
The reason is simple: to save money.
If it is placed at the gate of the castle, a separate set will need to be built for shooting; but if it is inside the castle, then it can share a set with the FZ scene, which saves a lot of money.
By the same token, the scene in HF where Shirou fights the evil Uncle B, and Father Mapo fights the cursed arm in the jungle will also borrow the forest battle setting where little Mapo fucks the big tree in FZ.
After all, HF is a web drama raised by a stepmother, not the biological son FZ, so it is natural to save as much as possible on the shooting costs.
Needless to say, Nanaya learned this attitude from Marvel.
HF has found his conscience by using the actors from the movie version.
Of course, there are some differences in the cast, for example, the actor who plays Illya was replaced by a Hollywood child actor.
But there is no way around it. After all, it is unrealistic to ask Illya, who now has a curvy figure, to play the role of a flat-bodied little loli.
Fortunately, when filming the movie version of FSN, Nanaya had already asked Illya to take care of the recording, and her previously recorded music will be added in the later stage.
Therefore, as long as you work hard on makeup and are not a person with obsessive-compulsive disorder, you basically can't tell the difference between the two.
HF doesn't have many scenes in this part, just a few short sentences.
To explain it from the perspective of plot development, it is just to simply tell the audience what will happen next, and it is not difficult to shoot.
"Cut! This one passed."
Standing behind the monitor, Shiki Matsuno shouted to the actors in the film, "The actors leave the stage, and the props and set design teams quickly modify the set!"
"Is everything ok?"
Nanaya came over after putting on his makeup. In order to save time, he gave the last part of the scene to Shiki to direct, while he changed his clothes and put on makeup.
"No." Shiki Matsuno gave Nanaya a thumbs up, "It will be your moment soon. Don't twist your waist."
Originally, Shiki was just joking with Nanaya, but unexpectedly, Nanaya's face suddenly fell.
"…I hope not."
Touching his still sore lower back, Nanaya now regretted that he had played too much last night.
"Huh? You did some intense exercise last night? Who did you do it with?"
Shiki Matsuno's eyes lit up immediately. They were all adults, so he naturally knew what strenuous exercise involving the waist would be like.
It's impossible that Nanaya did sit-ups and push-ups all night, right?
Then Shiki immediately thought of the fact that Nanaya and Shion went to a party together last night.
"Oh! You and Washimine..."
Shiki Matsuno excitedly pointed at Nanaya, and his excited expression was as if he had won the lottery jackpot.
"Shut up, nothing happened!" Nanaya warned sternly.
Shiki immediately answered knowingly, "I understand, I understand. There is nothing going on between you and Miss Washimine."
Nanaya clenched his fist, but ultimately decided not to punch the guy in the face.
"Attention all departments, check the set one last time! We will start shooting FZ Scene 23, Scene 15 in 5 minutes!"
With nowhere to vent his frustration, Nanaya could only raise the megaphone and shout to the staff, "All actors, get ready immediately!"
"Director, isn't this just a scene between you and me?"
Benedict Cumberbatch, who had a lemon haircut on the side, asked back with an innocent look on his face.
"Cumberbatch, you are the only one who talks too much!"
Nanaya cursed in Uncle Li’s Sichuan dialect, threw the megaphone to Shiki Matsuno, and walked towards the set angrily.
"Is the director in a bad mood?"
"Who knows, maybe it's internal heat causing constipation."
Benedict Cumberbatch knew that the second director in front of him, who was trying not to laugh, must know something, but he still chose to remain silent.
On his first day in Hollywood, his good friend James MCAvoy told him that in this place, watching more, asking less and keeping a tight mouth are more important than simple acting skills.
Nanaya walked through the area where the staff were working outside the studio and stood at his seat in the center of the studio.
Slight modifications have been made here according to the requirements of the script, making it look like the end of a luxuriously decorated corridor.
Unlike the original where Kiritsugu fired a few shots and then an Origin Bullet to cripple Director Ken, this time Nanaya was planning to destroy half of the Einzbern Castle.
Therefore, the setting area this time is still very large. Except for this part, basically one-third of the structure inside the Einzbern Castle has been reproduced, and these are the areas where Kiritsugu and Director Ken will fight later.
Nanaya was still dressed in black, but he had changed his shoes from leather to ones that were more convenient for movement.
Although it was part of the setting, Nanaya didn't want to run around on the set in leather shoes, as that would ruin his feet.
Nanaya had long forgotten whether Kiritsugu wore leather shoes during the battle between Kiritsugu and Kenneth in the FZ anime series.
Based on his understanding of the production of Japanese animation, if Kiritsugu was originally wearing leather shoes, he probably did not change his shoes.
It's no wonder that Kiritsugu is so resentful towards Director Ken. After all, being chased around in leather shoes and having blisters all over his feet would make anyone feel unhappy.
"So what on earth is it that Kyon designed Kiritsugu to wear leather shoes? Because leather shoes are more classy?"
Although Emiya Kiritsugu is a killer and not a soldier, he no longer needs a tough face and does not have those bulging muscles.
Because Kiritsugu does not want to show the audience the strength of a man, but this does not mean that the role needs a pale effeminate face.
This is also the reason why Nanaya left Kiritsugu's stubble, which just shows Kiritsugu's rough past without making him look too barbaric.
Uncle Li, the action director, stood in front of Nanaya and said before filming began, "Although we have rehearsed the action design before, you can give it some freedom according to the situation later. You are also an experienced director and you should know what is most appropriate."
"I'll pay attention."
Nanaya nodded slightly as he lowered his head to check the firearms he was equipped with.
Li Tongchen bent over and deliberately added, "It's okay. I know your waist is not in good condition, so I won't arrange any extreme poses for you during the shoot today."
"Old man!"
Nanaya was so angry that he wanted to hit this old bastard on the head with the butt of his gun.
"Haha, it's great to be young."
The old man acted like a hermit and walked out of the set with his hands behind his back.
Fortunately, he didn't hit Nanaya on the head three times, otherwise Nanaya would really turn into a monkey and go to Uncle Li's house in the middle of the night and smash his glass windows.
