Regarding the issue of address, Nanaya couldn't help but fall into deep thought. He knew that Elle called him brother-in-law, which meant she really regarded him as her brother-in-law.
Although it is rare to see a sister-in-law who is so wary of her brother-in-law.
But it’s a bit problematic that Lily calls me “brother”.
Nanaya didn’t feel that way before, but now he always feels that there is a certain flavor in Lily’s “brother” - the same flavor as when Illya calls him “oni-chan”.
"It shouldn't be?" Nanaya couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"Brother-in-law, what's wrong with you?"
Elle frowned slightly when she saw Nanaya suddenly become hesitant.
"Nothing, I'm going to work first."
Nanaya smiled awkwardly. He didn't dare to discuss any woman other than Rin in front of Elle, so he could only laugh it off.
"So suspicious..." Elle frowned and looked at Nanaya, "Brother-in-law, you didn't do anything to let my sister down, did you?"
"How could that be!"
Nanaya's face was stiff, and he quickly threw the girl to Kyon: "Elle, you should follow Kyon first. Although his stories are filled with a sad atmosphere, they are still very attractive. You should learn more about this."
Originally Nanaya wanted to teach his sister-in-law carefully and show off in front of this girl with blonde twin tails, but now he can't care about that anymore.
Under Elle's contemptuous gaze, Nanaya left quickly with an awkward smile, as if something terrible was chasing him.
"It's really suspicious..."
Elle pinched her chin and looked at Nanaya's receding back.
Because of the scandal surrounding Nanaya last year, Elle was suspicious of her director brother-in-law from the very beginning.
In her spare time these days, Elle also learned a lot about Nanaya, especially about Nanaya's romantic luck.
Then Elle was certain that her cheap brother-in-law was a playboy.
Last year, the newspapers focused on describing the love-hate relationship between Nanaya and Ori and Ryan, but in fact, these two people were not enemies of her sister at all.
Let’s not talk about the man Ryougi Ori. The woman named Ryan has been far away in Japan and poses no threat to my sister at all.
The so-called adultery (jiān), adultery (jiān), where does the love come from without "adultery"?
Ryan and Nanaya only see each other a few times a year now. Even if they are close friends, the relationship has faded.
Instead, it is the women who often appear on the set who Elle needs to pay special attention to.
For example, there is a big star with a ponytail who makes you wonder whether he is calling you "brother" or "brother-in-law".
For example, a beautiful, rich girl with green hair who likes to cover her face with a folding fan.
For example, there is a girl with silver hair and red eyes who has a great figure and likes to use the name "Oni-chan", which is only used by loli.
There seems to be another one with purple hair?
Never mind, that kind of minor role isn't important.
"Elle-chan, you need to explain to your sister what it means to judge the situation. Your sister can't protect him alone~"
When Elle thought about what the smiling rich woman told her when she first came to North America, she immediately became furious.
Especially what Shion said at the end, patting her on the shoulder.
"If your sister gives up resistance, I don't mind giving her a concubine position~"
[What a joke! You can do whatever you want if you have money! I will protect my brother-in-law's chastity! ]
Elle swore with her fists clenched.
"Hey, Mr. Gen Urobuchi."
Elle grabbed the shoulder of Old Gen, who had been slacking off on the side.
"What?!"
Old Gen shuddered immediately. He was considered Nanaya's half-direct descendant, and he knew all about Nanaya's affairs with those women.
It should be said that Nanaya did not deliberately hide it from him. Kyon made a rough guess based on the behavior of several people.
So, regarding Elle, the big boss sent by Nanaya, Kyon himself was a little embarrassed about how to deal with it.
But as the boss's sister-in-law, Old Gen certainly can't just fool her. He plans to show some special skills to open Elle's eyes.
"Ms. Tohsaka, regarding the story of the script..."
But this time, Kyon was misjudged. Elle didn't come to ask about the script.
"Please call me Elle." Elle bowed to Old Gen as a disciple. "Can you tell me about the relationship between men and women? I have a friend whose man is a little unfaithful, and I hope to know how to help her."
"That's not a little bit..."
Old Gen smacked his lips. He didn't ask stupid questions like "Is that friend you are talking about you yourself?" because he knew that this was really not Elle herself but her sister who looked exactly like her except for the hair color.
Is there any need to think about who that philandering man is?
Who else could it be other than Nanaya, the head of the studio.
"This matter is a bit difficult to handle..."
Although from the perspective of social ethics, Nanaya's behavior of playing multiple games at the same time is indeed enviable, bah, it's very annoying.
But Old Gen, whose grandfather and father were both writers, knew very well how chaotic the entertainment industry was. A guy like Nanaya who could only howl without shedding tears was already considered to be keeping himself clean.
The most important thing is that Gen doesn’t think that what happened to Nanaya is a big deal.
As a man, if he is not a beast, what kind of man is he? A man who can control his lower body is called a eunuch.
But Gen couldn't say such words directly to Elle. If he made this lady unhappy, he would be in trouble.
"Between men and women, this is what happens..."
Old Gen told Elle about his views on love and the business of managing relationships between men and women.
Even though Urobuchi is a man, he is very familiar with emotional disputes between men and women. No, it should be said that he is very familiar with love from a female perspective.
Perhaps due to the literary atmosphere he grew up in, Gen Urobuchi has a very clear understanding of women's psychology. He knows exactly what they care about and what they want.
Even though Nanaya's current status is much higher than Urobuchi's, when it comes to understanding women, even though he has lived two lifetimes, he is no match for Urobuchi.
Otherwise, Gen Urobuchi wouldn't have had the nickname "Friend of Fujoshi" in Nanaya's previous life.
I know, but I just want Urobuchi to write a perfect love story...
But for women, it seems that tragic stories can resonate with them more easily?
Anyway, Elle was already stunned by Urobuchi's views on love, and she was almost about to ask Urobuchi to accept her as his disciple.
However, Nanaya, who was preparing to shoot the next scene, didn't know about these things, otherwise he would definitely regret leaving his sister-in-law to this guy, Old Kyon.
At this time, Nanaya was filming another scene. Because Lily needed to change into a suit and put on makeup again, Nanaya was filming the scene where Assassin stood on the crane and observed the battlefield at the dock.
Like the ground scene at the dock, this set of shots was also shot using green screen + props.
However, this scene is not as complicated as the one on the ground. There is no need to stack the containers. You only need to build the upper part of the crane and the horizontal bar.
"Get the hair dryer ready, let me see the effect first!"
On the set, Nanaya gave orders to the props team.
In order to create the atmosphere of Hassan standing high up, Nanaya needed to wrap Hassan in a huge black cloak, and then use a large hair dryer to make the cloak flutter in the wind.
A huge noise was heard, and the actor who played Hassan was almost blown backwards by the strong wind. However, Nanaya was well prepared and had already used wires to securely fix himself on the prop crane.
Because it was just a test, the hair dryer was only turned on for a short while and then stopped.
"How does it feel?"
"Not bad, director."
The actor who played Hassan replied: "Except that the wind was too strong and I couldn't open my eyes, there were basically no problems."
"That's fine."
Anyway, the upper half of the actor's face was covered by a white mask, so the audience in the theater had no idea whether this guy had his eyes closed or open.
"Can you hold this position for 30 seconds?"
Although this shot will not exceed 15 seconds at most, considering the possible accelerated playback in the finished film, Nanaya still doubled the length of the shot.
"Can."
The other party thought about it, then nodded.
"Come on! Let's make it quick!" Nanaya gave a thumbs up to a stuntman, "Script supervisor, get ready!"
The script supervisor quickly ran to the camera and pointed the clapperboard at the main camera lens.
"Scene One, Act Two, Action!"
Along with the sound of the scene, the sound of a huge hair dryer sounded again.
"Camera!"
A sturdy robotic arm hung the main camera and pointed it at Hassan, who was in the center of the lens, and made a 360-degree circle around his body, recording every single movement of this pervert in a black tights who was used to getting some fresh air at high altitudes late at night.
"Ok! Cut!"
When the camera finished a circle, Nanaya called for a stop.
He had no choice but to shout; the stuntman looked like he couldn't bear it any longer.
Wearing a tight-fitting suit and a leaky cape, he was hung in a fixed position by a steel wire in the strong wind.
This kind of thing would be unpleasant for anyone.
Maybe it was God's blessing that this set of shots went even more smoothly than the first one, and I really got it done in just one take.
After confirming that there were no problems with the video footage, Nanaya said, "Perfect, we're done. The set design team, please dismantle this and replace it with another set as soon as possible."
This is the end of the crane's role, and the purpose of this constructed set has also ended.
After all, Nanaya is filming the serious drama of Fate Zero, not some fan fiction story that involves sneak attacks on Hassan on a crane.
This set took two days to build, just for these few seconds of footage, and was completely useless afterwards.
In order to save space in the studio, the crane needs to be dismantled as soon as possible, and then the area will be converted by the set crew into a scene for other shots.
This kind of thing is very common in Hollywood movie making.
