Chapter 330 Let’s Bully Tom Hiddleston One by One
🕑 Added 2025-05-12 15:29:19 +0000 UTCHaving a beautiful girl to sleep with you is indeed a very pleasant thing, even if you can't eat her and can only look at her.
But if this beautiful girl has a very fierce and strong sister, Nanaya thinks it would be better for him to avoid provoking this beautiful girl.
Even though Nanaya knew what Lily meant by "stay with me for one night", which meant at most she would just sleep with him, he didn't believe that Lily's furious lioness sister would be able to tell the difference.
No, for that sister complex, sleeping with Lily for one night was already an extremely serious violation of the line.
So, after careful consideration, Nanaya decided to punish Lily for scaring him - he would move to Wettin Manor during his stay in London.
If the windows of aristocratic manors could be climbed by criminals, then the country of Great Britain would be doomed.
"It would have been better if you had done this earlier, brother-in-law, you are so hypocritical."
Lily was very happy that Nanaya came to her home. In her opinion, this should be a great opportunity for Nanaya to get along well with her parents.
[This way, my brother-in-law can take advantage of the opportunity to deal with my father and mother. It's perfect! ]
Lily clenched her fists and made a gesture of encouragement. She wanted to give Nanaya some reminders, but she found that he was reading the audition actor materials by himself.
"Really, brother-in-law, you don't care about your own life at all."
Nanaya replied without even looking up: "I do care. Being a director is my lifelong career, so I am now confirming which actors I will use."
"That's not the case."
Lily leaned over and saw Nanaya looking at the profiles of several people from audition. She nodded immediately: "Oh, these three people. Brother-in-law, are you optimistic about them?"
"You figured it out?"
"Because my brother-in-law put the three of them together, weren't the other groups randomly divided?" Lily said disdainfully, "Such obvious differential treatment, I am still very clear."
"Is it that obvious?"
Facing Lily's question, Nanaya rubbed his chin.
"Yeah." Lily smiled innocently, "So who are you going to let the three of them play, brother-in-law?"
But Nanaya's answer was completely beyond Lily's expectations.
"I haven't quite thought it through yet."
"Wha...what?"
"Brother-in-law, you are keeping it a secret, right?"
Lily poked Nanaya's cheek with her finger, "Tell me, let me take a look at it. After all, we don't need to keep it secret from each other."
Nanaya reluctantly pushed the girl with a ponytail away and said, "Stop messing around. The audition is about to start. Sit down."
Actually, Nanaya was not lying when he said he hadn't made up his mind yet. He just hadn't decided what roles James Bond and Benedict Cumberbatch would play.
As for Tom Hiddleston, who has the least experience, Nanaya decided yesterday to let him play Waver Velvet.
However, Tom Hiddleston was not Waver's first choice. During yesterday's audition, "Trendy Guy" Martin Freeman was actually Nanaya's favorite actor for Waver.
Because the other person's distressed face and various aggrieved expressions were really very suitable for the role of the princess in Nanaya's eyes.
But unfortunately, there are two problems with Martin Freeman. One is that he is too old, and it is too awkward for him to play a 19-year-old student.
Although Nanaya believed that makeup and computer special effects could be used to make Martin look like a 19-year-old again, the cost was too high.
Nanaya is not James Cameron, who will do anything to perfectly present the picture he wants, and is even willing to develop new technologies that no one is willing to get involved in.
Another problem is that Martin Freeman's temperament is simply not enough to play a role like the cold and wise character of the second generation, which is a flaw for Nanaya who wants to create the Type-Moon film and television universe.
Everything is interconnected.
This was the phrase Marvel used most often when promoting its own movie universe in the previous life, although many times this phrase was just empty talk, such as when Peter Parker went to Germany with Iron Man and his house was renovated directly.
But at least they still did it in general, giving the audience a sense of being in the world rather than just watching a movie.
Nanaya also wants to do this, so he must expand the diversity of the Type-Moon film and television universe.
And "Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files" is a good entry point.
First of all, this form of detective unit drama is very suitable for being made into a TV series that is easy to control costs, without spending too much filming funds.
Through the events of each episode, Nanaya can also slowly present some Type-Moon settings to the audience, which can largely satisfy the desire of die-hard fans for the completion of the world settings.
The most important thing is that the characters in it have direct interactions with the Fate series, but the main story is different from the Holy Grail War.
This can not only attract a lot of fan traffic, but also bring them enough freshness.
In other words, Nanaya intends to make "El-Melloi II's Case Files" into Type-Moon's "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D."
In this case, Nanaya must synchronize the actors of FZ with those of "Event Hour". To be more precise, the person who plays Waver and the Second must be the same person.
Only in this way can we attract enough fans.
After all, if the actors are changed, even if the show is modified over a time span of several years, many viewers will still give up on the show.
This is also why, even though Benedict Cumberbatch is so suitable for the image of the second generation, Nanaya still gave this role to Tom Hiddleston.
Because Benedict Cumberbatch is really old, and it would be more reliable to let Chris Hemsworth play Waver instead of letting him, who was born in the 1970s, pretend to be a student.
Among those who meet the acting requirements, Tom Hiddleston is the most suitable candidate in terms of age.
Because he is only in his 20s, there is no problem for him to put on some makeup and play a 19-year-old college student. Anyway, Waver only appears once.
And once the FZ movie is finished, Hiddleston can play the second generation.
As for the issue of Tom Hiddleston's receding hairline in the future, Nanaya thinks it can be completely explained by the fact that Tom Hiddleston's hair became bald because he was worried about the naughty children and students.
It can be said that Tom Hiddleston’s age is really good now. He perfectly interprets what he has to do. He can play a man with kidney deficiency who works overtime, or he can play a frail princess.
“It’s just perfect.”
Nanaya slammed the table.
"My brother-in-law is ill again."
A certain girl with a ponytail thought it would be better for her not to accompany Nanaya in his crazy behavior.
"Director Kiryu, can we start?"
A staff member walked into the audition room and asked Nanaya in a low voice.
“Ahem.”
Nanaya coughed twice to cover up his embarrassment, and he quickly said to the staff: "Let's get started now."
——————————————————————————————————
The second round of auditions was much more formal than the first. Nanaya specially designed three sets as the performance venues for the auditioning actors.
First of all, the initial audition scene was in the lounge of yesterday’s audition meeting. At Nanaya’s request, this place was simply decorated as Kenneth’s classroom.
Of all the people who auditioned, one played Waver and one played Kenneth, while the others in the group temporarily served as background panels - other students attending class.
After a group finishes their performance, they will be replaced according to Nanaya's request.
Basically everyone will have a chance to play Waver or Kenneth.
For the audition scene, Nanaya only gave the actors a general premise and did not restrict their lines and actions.
This seems to allow the actors to perform more freely, but in fact, this casual audition makes the audition more difficult for the actors.
Because this will test the actors' ability to improvise and respond to changing situations.
The third group performing now is Tom Hiddleston and his group.
The person standing on the podium at this time who played Kenneth was Mcavoy, while Tom Hiddleston was sitting in the audience and being scolded obediently.
James Mcavoy, who played the arrogant lecturer, was looking at Tom Hiddleston, who was standing in the audience, with a look of contempt from the bottom of his heart.
Although she was standing in front of the camera in the audition room, Mcavoy didn't see the camera at all, nor did she see Nanaya who was responsible for deciding her score.
At this moment, he is Kenneth El-Melloi Archibald, a genius magician and the monarch of the El-Melloi faction.
Mcavoy said in a compassionate voice: "Mr. Waver, you should stop this delusion. It is totally useless."
When saying this, Mcavoy used a standard London accent, which was no problem at all for him as a British actor working in Hollywood.
Being a British actor and not being able to speak with a Scots accent is like being a cook and not being able to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes.
Nanaya did not look at Mcavoy directly, but observed her through the monitor in front of him - this allowed him to feel the other person's expressiveness on the screen more intuitively.
[Well, there is basically no problem with the acting. ]
Since he couldn't comment directly during the performance, Nanaya just nodded secretly.
How to arrange James and Benedict Cumberbatch, or who of the two of them is more suitable to play Kenneth, has always been a problem that has troubled Nana.
In terms of acting skills, the two are evenly matched, so Nanaya is more considering it from the perspective of suitable image.
However, considering that James later played Professor X in a wheelchair, from the perspective of playing a meme, Nanaya believes that it would be more interesting to let James play Kenneth.
But if Nanaya really used an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars to make a joke, he would definitely be stepped on a thousand times by Shion and then thrown into the Tokyo Bay along with the stone.
After Mcavoy finished reading a line, Nanaya called for a pause.
"Okay, let Benedict Cumberbatch play Kenneth next, and McAvoy, you can be an auditor first."
"OK."
Benedict Cumberbatch nodded, straightened his clothes, and walked up to the podium.
Now, it's his turn to scold Tom Hiddleston.
