Illya's words were so shocking that everyone felt surprised.
Of course, everyone else thought that Illya was just joking. This kind of thing is not uncommon in the entertainment industry.
But Nanaya didn't see it that way, he knew very well that Illya was staring at Rin and Sakura.
I have to say that Illya is really cruel, one black and two black.
Nanaya's forehead was covered in cold sweat at this time. He secretly looked across the table at the two ancestors mentioned by Illya.
At this time, Rin and Sakura's faces were almost the same color as the Terracotta Warriors. They didn't even care about the drinks that were spilled on the table. They stared at Illya on the stage.
Nanaya was so frightened that he couldn't utter a word. He could only pray that these girls wouldn't get into a more serious conflict.
"Forget it, forget it."
Although Sakura was very angry herself, she still tried to persuade Rin.
"Don't bother with that little girl, just keep a normal mind. It's just that I call you sister, I don't think it's a problem at all. I am happy to call you sister, don't you think so? Sister~"
Well, Nanaya discovered that this girl Sakura was not giving advice at all, but was adding fuel to the fire.
"So, sister, you must not be angry. The angrier you are, the happier that little Lolita will be." Sakura was still smiling, "Sister, what you have to do now is to go on stage and fight back fiercely, so that sister..."
"Sister, sister, are you done yet?"
Rin's eyebrows were raised, she was going to continue to denounce Sakura, but at this time Sakura squinted her eyes and said slowly: "It's time for you to go on stage!"
Before the final winners are announced, each candidate is required to stand on the stage together and express their gratitude for being selected.
The other candidates had already gone up, only Lin was still sitting in her seat, and now everyone was still waiting for her.
"Just wait for me!"
Feeling extremely embarrassed, Rin's skin turned red all the way to her neck. She glared at Sakura with a very fierce look, then stood up and walked under the big screen.
Fortunately, everyone thought that Rin was frightened by Illya's shocking words, so she reacted a little slowly, and no one blamed Rin for her rudeness.
As for Illya, she seemed to be fine and interviewed each candidate with a smile.
However, when facing senior colleagues like Sayuri Yoshinaga, Illya is still relatively serious.
The hierarchical relationship between seniors and juniors in Japan is not something that can be made fun of.
But when it came to Rin, Illya started to act naughty again.
"Oh, it's really unexpected to see Rin among the candidates for Best Actress this time."
Illya held the microphone in front of Rin with one hand and covered her mouth with the other hand while chuckling.
"Really?" Although Rin was smiling, her hands were clenched tightly together.
Although there is no word for "smiling tiger" in Japanese, there are adjectives like "black-bellied".
Facing the smiling silver-haired girl in front of him, Rin became extremely alert.
"Yes." Illya nodded. "At Rin's age, she can play a high school girl so vividly. She is indeed qualified to be a film queen."
“…”
Nanaya felt that for these girls, the age barrier was something they couldn’t overcome.
"But Rin is still very young compared to the other seniors. It turns out that men still like younger girls, right?"
Illya's words seemed to be praising Rin, but everyone in the Fate series knew that she was talking about herself.
"Younger... Do you think so too?"
Shion and Sakura simultaneously turned their gazes towards Nanaya.
"I'm going to the bathroom..."
Feeling uncomfortable all over, Nanaya was about to get up, but his wrist was grabbed by Shion.
Shion said with a smile: "Why are you in such a hurry? It won't be too late to leave after the winner of Best Actress is announced. By the way, you can also give your opinion on whether it is better to be young."
“…”
Nanaya now wants to die.
In the distance, Iris saw Nanaya being entangled by Sakura and Shion and sighed: "Ah, ah. It looks like Nanaya-chan is in trouble."
"Humph, it would be best if he died with a hatchet."
Kiritsugu said gloatingly, perhaps because the Best Screenplay award gave him confidence, he now looked a lot more cheerful.
Iris said with some regret: "If that's the case, Illya-chan would be too pitiful."
Kiritsugu opened his mouth wide: "So you just let this boy have an affair with another woman?"
"Are you jealous?"
"No, not at all!"
Even though Kiritsugu was envious, he would not make a mistake on such a matter of principle.
On the stage, several Best Actress candidates walked off the stage, and the 29th Japanese Austrian Film Actor Satoshi Terao walked onto the stage as the award presenter.
“Kiritsugu, what do you think…”
"Koyuki," Kiritsugu answered without hesitation, "With Sayuri Yoshinaga almost out of the game, no one can be a match for Koyuki!"
In less than 10 seconds, Kiritsugu was slapped in the face.
"The winner of the Best Actress award is Tohsaka Rin, "Fate"!"
“…”
After about two seconds of blankness, Kiritsugu finally reacted.
Amid the applause of the crowd, Kiritsugu rolled his eyes and fell off his chair.
Bang.
"What's wrong?"
The camera guy on the scene was startled. He subconsciously tried to turn the camera away, but was immediately patted on the back of the head by the director of photography behind him.
The director warned sternly: "Don't turn around, don't take pictures of things that shouldn't be taken!"
It's okay for a normal movie star to make a fool of himself, and then it can be used as gossip to attract some ratings.
But is it so easy to film the embarrassing moments of industry leaders?
"Kiritsugu, do you need me to help you?"
Iris asked with a smile as she looked at Kiritsugu lowering his head, but she had no intention of offering a hand to help.
"No need."
Kiritsugu got up from the ground by himself, and when he saw Rin standing on the podium with a red face, he was so angry that he wanted to overturn the table.
Fortunately, "San Chome" quickly won back the Best Actor award.
"The Best Actor winner is Yoshioka Hidetaka from 'Sanchome'!"
"I knew it!"
Kiritsugu clenched his fists tightly. Even though Fate was not nominated for the Best Actor award, Kiritsugu looked as if he had won over Fate.
"I really admire Sister Iris." Shion said with her hands on her chin, "It must be very hard to have a psychopathic husband to take care of."
"I think he is under too much pressure and needs to try to reduce it."
Nanaya felt full of sympathy for Kiritsugu because he felt that one day he might become like this.
"Whatever. The performance awards are over. The next awards are the most important."
Shion's words made Nanaya nod slightly. At this moment, the award ceremony had reached the most important moment. The last and most important awards for a movie - Best Director and Best Picture - were about to be announced.
At this critical moment, even the usually calm Shion couldn't help but feel nervous.
“The next step is our time.”
Shion held onto Nanaya's hand tightly, and she muttered to herself expectantly.
"I believe so."
Nanaya answered confidently.
"Oh my god..."
Rin, who was sitting on the other side of Nanaya, also became serious. She no longer had the excitement she had when she won the Best Actress award. Rather than winning the award herself, she hoped that her man could reach the pinnacle of the Japanese film industry.
At the same time, NHK's studio was already in an uproar.
Ever since Lin won the Best Actress award, the TV show's ratings have continued to rise, and now it has reached 46.7% when the Best Director award was announced.
“I don’t know if there’s a chance to break through 50%.”
NHK's president, Genichi Hashimoto, is gradually becoming the same as Kiritsugu. All he can think about now is the 50% viewership ratings, and he doesn't care about anything else.
And in the message board of [Erque Studio] on 2ch, it has never been as lively as it is today. All the Erque fans are looking forward to the moment when their idol reaches the top.
"I don't know if it will work." Shiori Kaede stared at the TV, not daring to blink, for fear of missing something.
"Come on, I really like Fate."
Asuna clasped her hands together, as if praying for her favorite movie and her favorite director.
"Don't worry, Director Kiryu will definitely succeed."
Kazutani seemed to be completely indifferent, but he still pretended to be very concerned and held Asuna's hand, taking the opportunity to take advantage of her.
As for Kiritsugu who was at the scene, he looked even more nervous than Nanaya, the person involved. He tightly grasped the tablecloth in front of him with both hands, and did not notice that he was about to pull the entire tablecloth away.
After three full months of hard work, the success or failure of Fate's award-winning campaign will soon be revealed after the Oscars are announced.
Countless Fate fans across Japan put down what they were doing at this moment. They quietly watched the Best Director award presenter, Ryuichi Hanai, walk onto the stage with the background music of the symphony.
When Kiritsugu saw Hanai Ryuichi, he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Everyone in the circle knows that when Hanai Ryuichi looks at Nanaya, he treats him like his own son.
To be honest, even if the name written on the envelope was not Nanaya's, it is not impossible that the old man lied and gave out his apprentice's name.
The director of "San Chome", Yamazaki Takashi, frowned, and then he sighed unwillingly. Hanai Ryuichi's appearance was obviously intentional by the organizers, and his chances of winning the Best Director award were estimated to be less than a quarter.
But what can we do about it?
There was a hint of reluctance in Yamazaki Takashi's eyes, but he was helpless. The advantages gained by Fate due to its strong international influence were too great, not to mention that the one doing the public relations for Fate was a large group like Washimine.
Under the gazes of countless people, Ryuichi Hanai walked to the microphone gracefully. Although the old man was old, he still looked like an old gentleman.
It is totally unimaginable that he is actually a wretched old man who likes to take his apprentice to Ginza to find young ladies.
Hanai Ryuichi opened the envelope containing the Best Director award. Without even looking up, he said, "The Best Director is... Nanaya Kiryu for Fate Stay Night!"
