"Why are you here?"
Nanaya was a little surprised to see Shion and Kyon.
"Our big director is very arrogant. He seems to be very unhappy that I disturbed your work." Shion said calmly, "I heard that you were attacked, so I came to see you.
Shion tapped her arm with the folding fan she always carried with her, deliberately showing great impatience.
"Now that you are still alive and kicking, I was worried about you for nothing."
After saying that, Shion turned around and prepared to leave.
Nanaya quickly grabbed Shion's hand. He knew that this girl was in a bad mood.
"I'm not complaining. Of course I'm glad you came over."
Seeing Nanaya's submissive attitude, a smug look flashed across Shion's eyes.
"That's what you said, so please treat us to a meal later." Shion opened her folding fan with a snap.
"You?"
"Um...Kiryu-san."
Gen Urobuchi took a step forward and scratched his head a little embarrassedly.
Just now when Nanaya and Shion were flirting, he was very tactful and acted like a wooden man, and only spoke when Shion mentioned him.
Looking at Old Gen's somewhat anxious face, Nanaya felt that the other party must have something to do with him.
"Okay, wait until I finish shooting the next two sets of shots." Nanaya didn't ask any more questions, but nodded and agreed.
The car racing scenes sound thrilling, but they are actually a bit boring to shoot.
Basically, the tanks and motorcycles were driven past the camera over and over again, and Nanaya shot the scene from different angles.
Although Nanaya has arranged several shots of close combat between Artoria and Iskandar, these will not be shot in motion.
Not to mention the safety issue, even if it can be done, the resulting scene will not be very good.
After all, various unexpected situations may occur when the vehicle is moving, and one mistake can easily render the footage invalid.
Finally, the morning's filming ended with a shot of a motorcycle catching up with the tank.
The open-air studio chosen by the FZ crew is located next to many studios. These large and small studios form a very famous studio cluster.
It's a bit similar to a certain film and television studio where Nanaya had hung out for a long time in his previous life.
Countless film crews come here to film every day, so the supporting facilities nearby are very complete, including many restaurants, bars, and cafes.
Nanaya randomly picked a restaurant to entertain Shion and Kyon.
It's not that he didn't want to choose a better one, but the restaurants in the surrounding area were all similar in specifications, so it didn't matter which one he chose.
Moreover, Nanaya is so familiar with these two people, so there is naturally no need for him to be too pretentious and choose a particularly good one, which would seem a bit strange.
Having said that, judging from the menu alone, this restaurant is not actually that cheap.
It's just that in developed countries, anything involving manpower is usually not cheap.
Because he often works in the United States, Nanaya has some understanding of life in the United States.
To be honest, even if measured by the salary of a normal working-class American, the cost of living in this country is not too expensive.
Of course, the premise is that you drink boiled water and eat meals you cook yourself.
Thanks to the convenience of large-scale agriculture in the United States, the raw materials for food are not expensive.
But if you want to eat out...
That's not right. The original cost of ingredients and seasoning for a meal is only $2, but it can be sold for at least $6 in the restaurant, and double digits is not impossible, and this does not include tips.
This is also why there are so many Chinese people opening restaurants in the United States. In addition to the profoundness of Chinese cuisine that can open the eyes of Europeans and Americans, it is also because the profit margin of catering is high.
But when it comes to Nanaya's level, no matter how expensive an ordinary restaurant is, it's just that.
Even if it costs hundreds of dollars, it's just a drop in the bucket for him.
After all, he is a billionaire, so he doesn't need this little money.
While waiting for the food to be served, Nanaya asked Shion, "Is it okay for you to come over to work at this time?"
"It's okay. I asked Iioka to postpone some of my meetings for me."
Shion sighed and looked at Nanaya with some worry.
"I'm still worried about you."
Nanaya shook his head: "Why should I worry about anything? Are you afraid that I will lose my virginity?"
"No, I'm afraid of your phobia of women." Shion replied seriously.
"ha?"
Nanaya immediately cosplayed [Black Question Mark.JPG].
"I don't need to prove to you again that I'm straight, do I?"
"I mean later. What if you get scared by that woman? What if you think women are not attractive anymore? What if you think it's better to weave?"
"What does this have to do with Ori?" Nanaya asked speechlessly.
"Of course it matters." Shion suddenly became interested. She looked at Nanaya and said, "After all, Ori is both virtuous and capable. Don't tell me you don't want to marry a wife like that."
Nanaya quickly took a sip to hide his embarrassment, then lowered his head and said: "I think you already are."
"Eh? Thank you."
Shion didn't expect Nanaya to say that, she blushed and whispered in response.
Nanaya opened his mouth and swallowed the second half of the sentence.
He originally wanted to say that Sakura and Rin were also good candidates for wives, but he felt that if he dared to say it, he would have to stay in the hospital tonight.
"Ahem."
Old Gen couldn't bear it any longer, and he coughed softly to try to attract the two people's attention.
What that means is: I'm still here, go back to your room and show off your affection.
"Oh, that's right."
Nanaya then remembered this "invisible man" who had no presence at the beginning.
"Old Gen, what are you doing here?"
Gen Urobuchi's work at FZ was actually almost finished before the New Year.
Most of the scenes to be filmed next are action scenes, so there is not much that needs to be modified in the plot.
So starting from February, Urobuchi should have returned to his parent company Nitro+ to write game scripts.
So the reason why Kyon would appear here today, Nanaya was as curious about the reason as Shion.
"Um… I came here to ask for your help, Kiryu-san."
Old Gen explained to Nanaya in plain language.
It turns out that after ending his cooperation with Erque Studio, Urobuchi returned to Nitro+ and started his own job as a game scriptwriter.
Nitro+ is also very happy about Urobuchi's return.
Although this screenwriter has not worked in the company for many days in the past two years, the fame he gained from the cooperative project of Erque Studio has made them a lot of money.
Especially after the release of FZ, the previous films "Kikokugai: The Cyber Slayer" and "Saya no Uta" written by Genji Yoshihiro both sold well. This is the tangible benefit brought by fame.
In fact, Gen Urobuchi is not very famous in Hollywood now.
After all, not to mention that the status of screenwriters in Hollywood is not very high, not to mention that only half of FZ has been released so far, and no one knows whether Urobuchi had a writing breakdown midway through.
But in Japan, the name Gen Urobuchi is almost being hyped up by the media as the number one screenwriter of the new era in Japan.
Many Japanese TV drama crews have invited Gen Urobuchi.
So the company was very happy when Urobuchi returned to Nitro+.
Not only did they give this great screenwriter who did not abandon them a portion of the shares, they also promoted him to a senior position in the company.
They also specifically proposed a game plan with him as the scriptwriter as the core.
Although Nanaya had never heard of this game called "?????????" in his previous life, it should be original to this world.
However, judging from the content, the game's selling point is mainly the description of gun combat, and it mainly explores the themes of death and love.
Obviously, the entire Nitro+ project is aimed at Urobuchi, and the core content is quite in line with Urobuchi's preferences.
"So, you enjoyed writing this story?" Nanaya concluded, tilting his head.
"Not pleasant at all."
Old Urobuchi replied with a bitter face, "Although I can write a story, how should I put it... I always feel that it is not the story I hoped for."
"Oh?"
Now even Shion, who was not very interested at first, became interested.
For creators, the relaxed creative environment that Urobuchi now has is something that is hard to come by.
But Gen Urobuchi said that his creations were not enjoyable at all, which is very interesting.
"Tell us about it, let us analyze it."
Gen Urobuchi did not keep anyone in suspense. He said directly: "I hope to create a work that can impress people from the story itself. However, after writing the entire plot outline, I found that blood and violence can only be used as selling points."
Nanaya smiled and said, "Dark works are generally like this."
"But I don't like it. I feel like I've run out of ideas. All the plots I can think of that can scare the players are all cruel ways of dying. This is very abnormal."
Old Gen lowered his head and said slowly: "I know that if I write this story, coupled with my reputation, it will definitely not cause the company to lose money. But..."
"But you hope that the players will get more after reading your story?"
Nanaya completed what Old Gen said.
"That's it."
Old Gen slammed the table vigorously. "According to my current outline, I have only written a Jump scare story, but I hope the story can be more in-depth."
"It's not about exploring the depth of human nature, otherwise the story will only be obscure and difficult to understand."
Having been around Nanaya for so long, Urobuchi certainly knows that the word "obscure" is a taboo in commercial works.
"Please put it this way, Old Kyon."
Nanaya tapped the table with his fingers: "You want to scare people with a more sophisticated method than Jump scare, right? In your dream, you hope that your story will not only scare people, but also make people feel a chill down their spine and their hair stand on end every time they mention your story?"
"Yes, that's what I hope for. Kiryu-san, you really are my confidant! You are the only one who understands me the best!"
Old Kyon looked at Nanaya with admiration.
Nanaya shuddered when Old Gen looked at him, and he quickly waved his hands to deny it.
"I'm not, I don't, and I don't want to be beaten to death."
