"How about it?"
Nanaya walked up to Sugiyama and whispered, "Did you learn anything?"
"A lot of it."
Sugiyama scratched his head and said, "I didn't feel that way when I was an actor, but now from the perspective of a creator, I feel that these scenes require a lot of imagination."
When he was on the set of "Madoka Magica", he had filmed several scenes with Yumi.
But all these shots were planned by Nanaya, and he was just following the instructions.
However, when he saw the scene of Witch Night, he realized how difficult it was to produce a scene with most of the shots being green screen.
Nanaya nodded and asked, "There will be several fate projects in the future. Are you interested in being an assistant director?"
"Of course, Sensei."
Sugiyama nodded excitedly.
From idol to assistant director, it is a qualitative leap for him.
This will be an opportunity for him to cross the class line.
After all, not every idol can reach the top of the entertainment industry just by being an idol and an actor like Kimura Takuya.
This teacher of his is willing to give him this opportunity, which may be the chance for him to soar to success.
Seeing that Sugiyama agreed, Nanaya changed the subject: "How is the result of the painting?"
Speaking of this, Sugiyama became excited.
"It's perfect."
He looked at the finished effects screen playing on the computer screen and said confidently: "Transformers 2, which will be released this year, has been praised as the pinnacle of special effects in current world movies."
"But from the trailer, compared to our movie, their robot fights are just like a bunch of toys being played with by children."
When Sugiyama said this, he deliberately used English, and it was obvious that he was not just speaking to Nanaya.
Sure enough, everyone sitting nearby nodded in agreement with Sugiyama's words.
Although Nanaya didn't say anything, he agreed with the point of view of his "apprentice".
Of course, it's a bit ridiculous to say that it completely surpasses "Transformers".
But even if we ignore the added bonus of 3D effects and the differences in special effects themes between the two films.
Based on the battle scenes alone, Nanaya believes that his movie is definitely the best in the world.
He doesn't think that even the movie next door, "Avatar", will lose.
However, the final battle in the movie is where all the budgets of movies are burned.
Therefore, the scene where Witch Night appears is naturally the focus of Nanaya's attention.
After checking the production progress of each CGI group, Nanaya returned to his residence in Wellington.
It is called a residence, but in fact it is just an apartment suite next to Weta Workshop, which cannot be compared with Nanaya's villas in the United States and Japan.
Although Washimine rented a villa to the crew, it was for everyone to use for vacation.
The villa is quite far from Weta Workshop, and Nanaya doesn't want to spend a lot of time on the road.
Fortunately, Nanaya is not such a picky person. As long as he can live a normal life, he won't care too much.
However, even though the house was simple, it was much better than the doghouse that Nanaya had lived in in Tokyo.
As soon as he opened the door, Nanaya saw Ryan standing at the door.
"Welcome home."
Ryan greeted Nanaya with a smile.
"Well, I'm back." Nanaya responded, "How was your study today?"
After learning that Ryan wanted to become an actor, Nanaya found two acting teachers for Ryan through Taika Waititi's connections in the New Zealand entertainment industry.
Now Ryan studies with an acting teacher during the day and works as Nanaya's girlfriend at night.
"It's still so-so. It's still a little difficult to make the required good expression."
Ryan naturally took the briefcase from Nanaya's hand.
"Take your time. I also practiced for a long time at the beginning."
Nanaya took off his shoes and put them on the shoe cabinet, speaking casually.
"That's true. I'm a little anxious."
Ryan placed Nanaya's briefcase on the table and said thoughtfully, pointing her index finger at her chin.
Nanaya looked at the woman's graceful back and suddenly had a bad idea.
He just stretched out his hands, ready to hug Ryan and have a good intimate time with him.
Just at this moment, Ryan turned his body around.
"Oh, right! I forgot to say something to you. What are you doing?"
Ryan's eyes narrowed when he saw the arms about to grab his shoulders.
"Nothing, what did you want to tell me?"
Nanaya put down his hands awkwardly.
"Hehe~"
Ryan placed his hands on his abdomen and said in a very gentle tone: "Nanaya, do you want to eat first? Or do you want to take a shower first?"
[That's it? That's it?]
Nanaya waited for a long time but didn't hear Ryan say the option "Or eat me first?"
[Ryan, you haven't learned enough. There should be another half sentence.]
Nanaya looked like a child who had not gotten any candy.
But Ryan held his cheeks with both hands, blushing and talking to himself.
"Hmm... I feel like this is like a Japanese newlywed couple. I've never been so shy before... Is Lily reliable?"
[Aaaaah! Shy Ryan is so cute! ]
Nanaya's spirits immediately perked up. He gave Ryan a thumbs up and said, "No problem at all! Also, I need to take a shower first."
"Well, I've already prepared hot water for you."
Nanaya felt that he was touched by Ryan's warm motherly smile.
He just felt very warm and cozy in his heart.
So Nanaya stopped worrying about the fact that Ryan only had two options, and he obediently took off his coat with Ryan's help.
After returning to the room and getting some clothes, Nanaya went straight to take a shower.
But for Nanaya, taking a bath is really just a simple bath.
Those filthy demon kings who thought Ryan would take a bath together should go and face the wall!
Nanaya enjoyed a comfortable hot bath in the not-so-wide bathtub.
Having lived in Japan for decades, Nanaya has long been accustomed to taking baths in bathtubs, which can even be said to be a part of his life.
After washing his body, Nanaya simply changed into clean clothes and returned to the living room of the apartment.
Due to space constraints, the living room of the apartment also serves as a dining room.
Nanaya's dinner had been neatly placed on the dining table by Ryan, while Ryan himself was sitting on the sofa, watching entertainment news boredly.
But Nanaya believed that his dinner was definitely not made by Ryan, but by the Sera sisters next door.
Although it may sound a bit depressing, Ryan doesn't know how to make troublesome dishes like Japanese hamburger meat.
Nanaya sat down on the sofa naturally and put his arms around Ryan's slender waist.
Ryan pushed Nanaya and said, "Stop making trouble. Let's go eat first."
Because their bodies were pressed together, Nanaya smelled a familiar scent of shampoo.
"You've already washed? Why don't you wait for me to wash with you?"
Ryan rolled his eyes: "Because I don't want to take a two-hour bath."
Ever since that experience, Ryan no longer dared to take a bath with Nanaya on weekday evenings.
When the question was asked just now, Ryan knew there was a little bit of it.
But if I really have to say it, I will deliberately change Nanaya's dinner into a midnight snack.
Although it is a good thing that a man is willing to have intimate contact with you, it would be counterproductive if you get stomach problems due to such a small thing.
So when Nanaya put his head close to him, Ryan tapped him with his finger lovingly.
"That's enough, let's go eat. I prepared this hamburger meat especially for you."
"Didn't Sera do that?"
Nanaya probably asked back with a playful smile while tickling Ryan's armpits.
"But I ordered it for you." Ryan said seriously.
Nanaya, who had had enough of the fuss, got up from the sofa, straightened his clothes and asked, "Ryan, have you eaten yet?"
"Yes, I ate suet pudding. I didn't expect Sera could even cook this kind of dish."
Perhaps recalling dinner, Ryan's eyes were filled with satisfaction.
But when Nanaya heard the name of the dish, he shuddered.
Although mutton fat pudding is called pudding, it is completely different from the pudding that most people think of as being made with eggs, milk and fresh cream.
To be honest, suet pudding does have a little bit of similarity to Yorkshire pudding.
It looks a bit like China's egg yolk pastry, but the ingredients are completely different.
It is made of mutton fat, flour, breadcrumbs, raisins and spices.
And the cooking method is not roasting, but boiling or steaming.
Nanaya had eaten this thing once, and it didn't taste bad.
But for Nanaya, who always had a light taste, the taste of mutton fat was too strong.
So when Ryan mentioned this, Nanaya couldn't help but complain.
"Sera and I are not used to eating such strong-tasting food. Only you, Ryan, like it."
Ryan was in a good mood at the moment, so she lifted her man's chin with her finger and made a joke.
"Okay, you can't accept this? Didn't you say before that you would like everything about me?"
Then the next second, Ryan was pressed directly onto the sofa by the man.
"You said it, so I will enjoy everything about you, Ryan!"
Ryan, who was pressed under him, was a little angry and hit Nanaya's chest with his head.
"Why are you so impatient? Go eat! After you finish eating, I'll let you do whatever you want!"
Under Ryan's harsh scolding, Director Kiryu could only sneak to the dining table and eat quietly.
However, Ryan's temporary advantage did not last until the end.
After enjoying the dinner prepared by Sera for him, Nanaya once again extended his evil hands to Ryan.
This time, Ryan did not find any excuses to refuse, but nodded and agreed to all of Nanaya's requests.
So that night, a certain film director enjoyed a special benefit that belonged only to him on his bed in the dormitory.
Under the active dedication of a certain British lady, Nanaya felt that his bones were about to become soft.
