At the dock in front of the camera, Lily has put on armor and is holding a green prop sword, facing James McAvoy, who is dressed as Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.
When she heard the start sound, she slowly took a step forward, moving from the edge of the camera to the center.
Compared with her usual playfulness and casualness, Lily has now transformed into a majestic Knight King. Her steady steps and serious face remind everyone of this.
[Well, my acting skills have improved a lot. ]
Nanaya behind the monitor couldn't help but nodded, and then he was pushed by Shiki Matsuno.
[What's up? ]
Although he didn't look at her mouth, Nanaya's eyes revealed this meaning.
Shiki Matsuno said mockingly: "Look at how others act, and you still say that Lily's acting is not good, but you don't even talk about yours, that's really...tsk tsk."
"Stop talking!"
Because of the surveillance camera, Nanaya just gave Shiki a middle finger and let it go. He just silently kept this account in his heart.
But Nanaya forgot that when he appears on camera in the future, he will be the one who suffers, because it will be Shiki Matsuno who sits in the director's chair.
In front of the monitor, facing Lily's oppressive power, James McAvoy, who played the Lancer, gently waved the spears in both hands.
He first picked up the red spear that he had been carrying on his shoulder, turned it around with his backhand, and pointed the spear at Lily.
Click.
The prop gun just fell to the ground.
"Ouch!"
McAvoy let out a cry of pain.
"Cut!"
Nanaya quickly called a halt; "James, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?"
Although the prop gun is made of lightweight resin, it is still large in size and it may cause big problems if it is hit by something like this.
James McAvoy quickly said, "It's okay, director."
But Nanaya didn't want to believe it, he just asked the crew's emergency doctor to check it out.
After a careful examination, the doctor replied: "There is no fracture, just a bruise on the instep. I have applied medicine, so it should not affect the filming."
"It's troublesome."
After thanking the doctor, Nanaya picked up the script and hit James on the head.
"What's going on! I've been practicing for so long, but you're still laughing!"
Nanaya saw clearly from the monitor that James McAvoy lost his grip on the spear because he laughed.
"Sorry, Director."
Knowing it was his responsibility, McAvoy did not resist.
"Okay, Nanaya." Shiki Matsuno quickly said something nice to James, "Isn't it normal for an actor to laugh?"
"Yeah, Nanaya brat. He shot himself in the foot, so he should be punished."
Even old man Li Tongchen followed suit and spoke well of McAvoy, although Nanaya felt that what he said sounded wrong.
"Hehe, you guys..."
Ever since they were caught in a sting operation last time, the relationship between these four guys who share the same suffering has warmed up quickly, and they are almost like wearing the same pants.
But it's normal to think about it. Having been in prison together is one of the four greatest iron bonds in life. Although it was less than 2 hours, it was enough for them to develop a deep revolutionary friendship.
"Forget it. I don't want to talk to you guys."
Nanaya sat back in his chair: "Get ready to start again!"
The crew quickly returned to their positions, and Diarmuid Ua Duibhne stood in front of Artoria once again.
This time, McAvoy did not make the same low-level mistake as before.
After pointing the red gun at Lily, he also slightly changed the posture of his left hand holding the yellow gun, and the two guns, one on the left and one on the right, spread out like the wings of a flying bird.
Although the wings are not symmetrical.
Seeing the two Servants confronting each other in front of her, Illya, who was standing in the back and playing Irisviel, couldn't help but swallow her saliva out of nervousness.
"Saber..."
She called out her Servant's name softly. Even though she knew she couldn't intervene in the battle, as the acting Master she still wanted to do something.
"Please be careful, although I can use healing, the others are..."
"Please give Lancer to me!"
Saber confidently interrupted Iris's speech.
Then her eyes scanned the surroundings, and the two cameras serving as secondary lenses immediately recorded Lily's action.
"I'm a little worried. Why didn't the other party's Master show up?"
Lily was full of vigilance when she looked around, as if she was really on guard against an enemy that didn't exist.
"You have to be careful. Irisviel, I leave my back to you."
Although she was extremely worried that the absent Master might be plotting something behind the scenes, Saber still decided to make the enemy in front of her her first target.
Her emerald eyes were fearless, just as resilient as when she was king.
Sitting in his director's chair, Nanaya looked at the screen on the director's monitor and nodded from time to time. He was very satisfied with Lily's performance in this FZ.
If Nanaya chose Lily because of her face before, now she has begun to integrate herself into the role of Artoria.
It can be said that the character of Saber is too easy to show Lily's own characteristics. Although she is a petite girl, she has a temperament that is more heroic and fearless than tall men, but sometimes she can also show the cute side of a girl.
It can be said that among all the actors Nanaya has met, no one is more suitable for the role of Artoria than Lily.
Even Lily's sister Ryan couldn't do it, because she was too strong and it was difficult for her to show the gentle side of Artoria.
In front of the camera, it seemed that Saber's confidence infected Iris, and she was no longer nervous.
Iris said to Lily, "Saber, bring me victory."
"Don't worry, I will."
Saber nodded firmly, and she took a step towards Lancer, rushing towards his spear.
According to the script, this part should have ended here, and Nanaya had already picked up the director's baton and was ready to call for a stop.
But Lily took the initiative and shouted to the other side: "Let's fight it out! Lancer!"
"Cut!"
After seeing Lily stop walking and no longer talking, Nanaya called a halt to the crew.
Lily wiped her sweat with a towel and said apologetically, "Sorry, Director. I added a scene without your permission."
"It's okay, you did great."
Nanaya gave Lily a thumbs up. He had no objection to Lily changing the script without permission.
It is very normal for actors to improvise and add to their own scenes. Generally speaking, Nanaya will let the actors finish their performances on their own.
As for whether the actors' impromptu performances are appropriate, Nanaya will confirm these during the final editing.
Although there were only three actors in this scene who spoke a few words to each other and there was only one NG, it was because Lily and James were both wearing armor, and Illya was also wearing winter clothes.
At this time, the three people in front of the camera were sweating slightly. Nanaya signaled them to take a short break and put on some makeup, while he himself was planning the content of the subsequent shooting.
"Urobuchi, hand me the script."
"OK."
At Nanaya's call, Gen Urobuchi came over with the script, accompanied by two Hollywood screenwriters who were assigned to him by Nanaya.
They were the two guys who had expressed their dissatisfaction with Urobuchi from beginning to end during the script seminar.
But compared with their unruly nature in the past, the two people now seem like bullied young wives.
The two of them followed behind Old Kyon like little birds, and the way they looked at Old Kyon was as if they were looking at a god.
"What did you do to the two of them?"
Nanaya hasn't seen these three people from the script team for a long time. Although he still exchanges scripts with Urobuchi, it is basically done in the form of e-mails. It's really a long-awaited meeting between Urobuchi and these two people.
"Nothing, nothing."
Before Old Urobuchi could answer, the two guys responded in a flurry of comments: "We just witnessed the greatness of Mr. Urobuchi Gen and admire him from the bottom of our hearts."
When they said this, the two men looked at Kyon with eyes full of admiration and awe. Nanaya felt that they were not looking at Kyon but God.
This made Nanaya a little scared, and he quickly asked Old Gen: "What kind of magic potion did you feed them?"
Gen Urobuchi's face was full of girlish shyness: "Nothing, I just discussed the production concept with them affectionately, and enthusiastically shared the works we each wrote before."
Nanaya complained: "Don't you think your two adjectives are very strange?"
"No, no, no, I'm very serious. If you don't believe me, you can ask them."
"Yes, it is."*2
Seeing that these two looked completely brainwashed, Nanaya was completely speechless.
I always feel that if Gen Urobuchi announced that the earth is actually square, these two guys would probably insist that the earth is square.
"You really didn't do anything to them?"
"Of course not." Gen Urobuchi said innocently, "I just asked them to read my works and game scripts every day and write a thank you note. Is there any problem with that?"
Old Gen blinked at Nanaya, and he really didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with this.
Is there any? This is definitely true! (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻
Nanaya felt that Kyon's behavior was somewhat anti-human from any perspective.
There is nothing wrong with simply reading the works and the scripts, but the question is, can what Urobuchi writes be read repeatedly?
Regardless of anything else, Nanaya has never read the game script of "Saya no Uta" a second time since his previous life. It's so sad.
"This is just disgusting brainwashing, right?"
A girl with blond hair and twin ponytails standing behind Nanaya said coldly: "Brother-in-law, where did you find this top-notch item?"
The person who said this was Tohsaka Elle, who is currently Nanaya's de facto sister-in-law.
