Chapter 398: Kiritsugu's First Appearance at Nanaya
🕑 Added 2025-07-20 15:03:21 +0000 UTCGood and evil will eventually be rewarded, and the law of heaven will be reincarnation. If you don't believe it, look up and see that heaven will spare no one.
Although this has been said all the time, Nanaya has always believed it.
But when the retribution really came back to him, Nanaya felt terrible.
"Why……"
Nanaya sighed, raised his head 45 degrees to look at the ceiling, speechless.
“I originally thought that the most difficult part was playing Kiritsugu, but now I know that the most difficult part is acting opposite Maiya.”
"That's enough, Senior! Is it interesting to talk about the same thing over and over again?"
There are bulging blue veins all over Ori's head.
Nanaya patted Ori's shoulder and said earnestly: "Ori, I won't say anything else, but you have to be careful when we kiss later."
Although the kissing scene between Maiya and Kiritsugu was shot in four seasons using the staggered method, this required cooperation from both actors.
Otherwise, the camera shots would either be exposed or the actors would actually kiss each other.
It is not uncommon for actors to take advantage of women by filming kissing scenes, so if famous actors have kissing scenes and passionate scenes in the script, they will agree on many items in advance.
Some big-name stars even set regulations on how many seconds they can appear, as well as the requirements for actors to act as kiss substitutes and nude substitutes, etc.
Although from the perspective of the entertainment industry, Nanaya is one of the most awesome ones. If he really wants to use kissing scenes to take advantage of female stars, there will definitely be no problem, and no one dares to complain.
But the problem is, my junior brother has nothing to eat!
To be honest, it would be better to replace Ori with Rin, so that I can at least touch her thighs enough.
Although this pair of legs knitted is also very good, it can be considered the best among girls, and men are as good as women.
However, even so, Nanaya couldn't touch it!
Ori said contemptuously: "Don't worry, I'd rather die than give you my first kiss."
"But……"
"Don't say but, just cooperate well later."
Ori pushed Nanaya into the scenery area.
On the camera side, Shiki raised one hand to indicate that everything was ready.
The shooting of this set was quite simple. In addition to the main camera here at Shiki Matsuno, there was another camera operated by Shonan to supplement the shots.
“Come on, Kiryu-san~?”
Shonan pointed the camera at Nanaya's side and encouraged with a smile.
Nanaya raised his middle finger and said, "Be careful or I'll tell your family that you're coming out!"
"Kiryu-san, isn't it inappropriate for us two Japanese people in America to use Chinese puns~?"
"What do you care about me?"
"Action!"
The voice of Shiki Matsuno came over.
Nanaya walked out of the fake elevator room with a calm expression. He walked through the corridor and came to the door of room number 703.
Standing at the door of the room, Nanaya knocked on the door of Room 703 using the agreed-upon secret rhythm.
With a squeak.
The door of the room opened, and Maiya, played by Ori, stood at the door.
The two people did not exchange any extra greetings, just exchanged glances as a greeting.
Nanaya walked into the house in silence and closed the door.
"There was an operation at the Tohsaka residence last night."
There was no prelude, Ori went straight to the point as soon as he opened his mouth.
"I have recorded the video, please confirm it. Also, all the equipment has arrived."
Nanaya nodded: "Okay. Report the situation first."
But as soon as Ori picked up the TV remote control, he was stopped.
“Cut!”
Shiki Matsuno said to Nanaya dissatisfiedly: "Nanaye, your tone is wrong! Are you talking to Hisau Maiya as Emiya Kiritsugu, or are you talking to Ryougi Ori as Kiryu Nanaya!"
Nanaya quickly waved his hand and said, "Sorry, I overlooked it. I'm too familiar with him."
"Adjust quickly!"
Shiki roared.
"Wait a minute! Give me a few minutes to get the hang of it."
"What were you doing just now? Five minutes at most!"
Shiki Matsuno has entered the director's mode and is really not polite to Nanaya at all.
Nanaya didn't care too much about it. He paced back and forth in the room.
Nanaya had learned from Luvia how to get into character before, and he had been adjusting his state when putting on makeup.
It was just because Ori’s sudden appearance scared Nanaya so much that he lost all his composure. Now he wanted to get his feeling back.
This is not easy, because he is too familiar with Ori, so it is difficult to imagine him as Maiya.
This is probably why the acting of a couple co-starring in a movie becomes very bad, because they are too familiar with each other and don't know how to act.
[Kiritsugu’s state of mind at this moment is…]
Nanaya walked around there, muttering to himself for a full five minutes before returning to his original position and saying to Shiki, "Let's try again."
Shiki Matsuno nodded slightly, but he added: "Let's split this shot into three parts, this will reduce the difficulty."
"All right."
Nanaya did not refuse.
After finishing the two scenes of walking out of the elevator and knocking on the door, Nanaya stood in front of Ori again.
"You should be okay this time, right?" Ori asked in a low voice.
"Let's try it first."
Nanaya himself wasn't quite sure.
When the actors were ready, Shiki shouted again, "Action!"
"Okay. Report the situation first."
Nanaya said to Ori with a serious expression.
This time Shiki Matsuno did not call for a stop, so Ori continued to perform.
He turned on the TV, which was playing a video recorded by a familiar.
The video stopped only after the unlucky Hassan was made into skewers by Mr.Golden.
Nanaya pointed at the screen, and there was a hint of sarcasm in his words and expression.
“Maiya, what do you think?”
Ori’s last name wasn’t Li, so he didn’t reply with a sentence like “Sir, there must be something fishy about this matter.” to let Nanaya pretend to make inferences, but he left this chance to himself.
“It looks perfect, but actually there are many problems.”
Then, Ori quickly deduced that Tohsaka Tokiomi had known about this attack a long time ago.
With Ori's strong dialogue skills, his delivery of this inference was naturally smooth and brilliant.
After listening to Ori's reasoning, Nanaya nodded slowly.
"Something that should be kept secret has been seen by others. Perhaps it is because I wanted to show it to others from the beginning."
Finally, Maiya made this summary of the battle.
Nanaya thought for a moment, then asked, "Maiya, how is Assassin's Master?"
"Kotomine Kirei sought refuge at the church last night and is being protected by the supervisor."
When Nanaya heard the name, his pupils shrank slightly.
“Cut!”
Shiki Matsuno called a halt immediately.
"What's wrong?"
Nanaya looked up at Shiki, he didn't remember making any mistake.
"Your expression is wrong."
Nanaya frowned at Shiki Matsuno's answer: "I remember that this place should be called fear."
"You're afraid? Your expression is so fake, it looks like you're constipated!"
Shiki sprayed back directly, saying that he was not afraid of Nanaya as his mouth was foul.
"Start over again!"
"Cut! Don't just focus on your eyes, your body language has to keep up too!"
"Cut! Why are you hesitating like that? Did you forget your lines?"
"Cut! Is this your best performance? A three-year-old can act better than you. Show me your expression!"
"Cut! Turn your face to the right position. The audience bought the ticket to see your face, not the back of your head!"
…
The following time, Nanaya basically spent it under Shiki Matsuno's direction and repeated NGs.
After struggling for a long time, Nanaya finally passed this shot.
Of course, Shiki was not satisfied with this result.
"You had to do nearly 20 NGs in this 30-second scene. This is the best you can do with your acting skills."
While I was touching up my makeup, Shiki Matsuno was still nagging me.
"Do you think a taciturn character is easy to play? You just look expressionless!"
Nanaya didn't reply because that was what he thought from the beginning.
Shiki's words served as a reminder to Nanaya that if he were to direct this scene, he would definitely shoot it according to Shiki Matsuno's standards.
He took things for granted when thinking about himself as an actor.
"I see."
Nanaya responded and it became clear.
"The next scene is more difficult. You need to show Emiya Kiritsugu's struggle. Is that ok?"
"Uh...try."
How could Nanaya guarantee that he was fine? He had spent so much time shooting simple shots before, and there was a high probability that history would repeat itself.
But no matter what Nanaya's answer was, the scenes had to be shot, after all, the crew didn't have a second actor for Kiritsugu.
"Scene 15, Scene 5, Action!"
Kiritsugu, played by Nanaya, opened the equipment box prepared by Maiya and began to check the equipment inside one by one.
As a fan of big scenes, Nanaya increased Kiritsugu's firepower a lot, and arranged all the weapons required for personal firepower.
Even the almighty RPG is included.
In short, this equipment box is basically a small arsenal.
Because there are too many things, Nanaya certainly cannot show them all.
Therefore, according to the requirements of the script, Nanaya only selected a few representative weapons for demonstration.
A light machine gun, a sniper rifle, and Kiritsugu's iconic Thompson Contender.
Nanaya lived in China in his previous life and in Japan in this life. Both countries have very strict gun control.
Although he had some knowledge about weapons, Nanaya had never touched a gun in his two lifetimes.
In order to play the role of Kiritsugu well, Nanaya underwent a period of special training on firearm structure.
But this last-minute approach certainly wouldn't allow one to become extremely skilled at disassembling and assembling firearms. The script required that assembly be completed within 2 seconds, and even if Nanaya's hands were worn out, he wouldn't be able to do it.
So Nanaya just picked up the gun and fiddled with it, then posed with the gun.
The scene where Kiritsugu assembles the gun with his hands will be shot separately, performed by a dedicated actor wearing Kiritsugu's clothes.
Among them, the gun Contender is different. Nanaya did not take it out from the armory, but took it out from the gun bag on his waist.
What Nanaya took out from the ammunition box was a small box, which contained the famous Origin Bomb - a prop.
Nanaya stared at the bullet box in his hand, and a hint of emotion appeared in his eyes.
He took out a bullet and placed it in his palm, then slowly loaded it into the Contender.
"Illya is not as good as Walther. She is already eight years old..."
At this time, Ori approached him silently from behind and snuggled into his arms.
