Nanaya really has a lot to complain about the fact that Ryan's concept of love actually comes from a girls' comic.
But when he saw Ryan shaking his head, he looked like he was immersed in her own love march.
[Forget it, just treat it as a cultural difference. ]
With this thought in mind, Nanaya pulled Ryan into the VIP room of the premiere and waited for the movie to start.
He didn't go to greet Ryougi Shiki, who was still walking the red carpet.
As today's heroine, Shi probably won't have any free time before the movie starts.
Besides, when Nanaya came in just now, he saw Kiritsugu. That guy looked around with a gloomy face, and it seemed that he was looking for him.
Nanaya believed that if he dared to appear in front of him, the other party would definitely do something like turning him into a hornet's nest.
"It's your fault that you always like to tease Master Kiritsugu, Nanaya."
Sera, who was following behind Nanaya, saw what he was thinking.
"Who has it?"
Nanaya retorted subconsciously, but when he saw Sera's teasing expression, his cheeks rarely turned slightly red.
"Well, I just simply hated his domineering attitude back then. Besides, I didn't do anything to him, right?"
"It's nothing serious, it's just that Emiya Kiritsugu killed the whole family."
Faced with Nanaya's childish answer, Sera could only shake her head and smile bitterly.
She already knew how Nanaya arranged the plot from Illya's complaints.
In Sera's eyes, this was just a childish quarrel, or it could be seen as the way Nanaya and Kiritsugu got along with each other.
Sera believed that a character named "Nanaya" would definitely appear in Kiritsugu's future movies, and his ending would definitely not be good.
But does this have anything to do with her, Sera?
Anyway, Nanaya, who hired me, and my old master Kiritsugu didn't suffer any physical harm, right?
After all, one of them is the lady's husband and the other is the eldest lady's brother.
As a humble little maid, it doesn't matter who I help.
"why are you laughing?"
Nanaya looked at Sera who was trying hard to purse her lips.
Sera turned her head to the side: "Nothing, I thought of something happy."
Nanaya's head was full of black lines: "Don't tell me that Leysritt is getting married."
Just at this moment, several men in suits walked into the VIP room.
Seeing an outsider coming in, Nanaya could only let Sera go reluctantly.
[I'll deal with you when I get back.]
Nanaya gave Sera a look, then pulled Ryan to sit on the sofa in the VIP room.
However, what Nanaya did not expect was that these men in suits actually came directly to him.
"Hello, Director Kiryu."
The man in a suit who was leading the group was extremely respectful, almost kowtowed to Nanaya.
"Who are you?"
Nanaya believed that he had never seen the other person.
The other party said in a somewhat depressed tone: "I am the president of Shueisha, Horiuchi Marue, and I am here to visit Director Kiryu."
Horiuchi Marue has reason to be depressed.
As the president of one of the largest publishing houses in Japan, Shueisha, under his leadership, owns a large number of IPs.
In simple terms, he is one of the largest IP producers in Japan.
With someone like me like this, who in the Japanese film and television industry would be so blind as to not recognize me?
Whether it is adapting the works of his publishing house or wanting to publish his own works in the form of books.
These people undoubtedly need to look at their own eyes.
However, the big-name director in front of him was a complete exception.
The other party was so powerful that he had no capital to negotiate with him at all.
Because Horiuchi Marue knew very well that her face was actually very similar to that of the president of Dentsu and Lin Bao's Ryutani family.
Although they can act arrogantly in Japan, no one will pay attention to them once they leave the island country.
And Nanaya Kiryu is the kind of big boss outside the circle who can ignore himself.
As a world-class director, it would be an honor for them if Nanaya took a fancy to Shueisha's works.
Similarly, Kiryu Nanaya sneered at these works, and Horiuchi Marue really couldn't say anything.
"President Shueisha? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Nanaya seemed uninterested.
He didn't think chatting with this man would be any more fun than making love with Ryan.
[Will I come to see you if I'm alright?! ]
Horiuchi Marue roared in his heart, but on the surface he still maintained a very respectful attitude.
"It's like this. Didn't your teacher, Director Hanai, go to the United States to visit Director Kiryu some time ago? After Director Hanai came back..."
It turned out that after Ryuichi Hanai finished his vacation in the United States, he returned to Japan together a few days ago.
You know, when the old man went to the United States before, he brought a lot of people with him.
So everyone is unexpectedly concerned about when Ryuichi Hanai will return to China.
It's a pity that no matter how much they pay attention, they can't change Nanaya's decision.
So, when the old man passed on the news that Nanaya had no interest in the movie adapted from Japanese comics.
The entire Japanese publishing industry was in mourning.
Of course, other people cried too.
It's not just one or two days that Hollywood has looked down on Japanese anime IP.
Although Nanaya Kiryu's refusal made people feel that he was arrogant, everyone had expected this.
But there is one exception.
That is Shueisha, the copyright holder of "Dragon Ball".
I don't know which big mouth guy secretly spread Hanai Ryuichi's words.
Among them, Mr. Hanai's comments on Nanaya's evaluation of the Hollywood version of "Dragon Ball" were passed on to Shueisha word for word.
One hundred percent garbage.
Although the movie has not been made yet, Nanaya has already given such an evaluation.
If it were an ordinary person, Shueisha would have just said he was a sourpuss and laughed it off.
But the person who said this was Kiryu Nanaya.
Everyone knows that Nanaya is the person who understands the Hollywood market best among all the Japanese film and television circles.
Since he dared to say such words, it must be the result of analysis based on certain evidence.
Otherwise, Nanaya has no relationship with Shueisha, so why would he want to offend them to death?
In fact, Shueisha does not have much ambition for movies for the time being, and they are focusing more on promoting comics.
The people at Shueisha are not stupid either, they also know the difficulty of adapting Japanese comics.
Therefore, Shueisha's requirements for the copyright cooperation of "Dragon Ball" this time were very low.
As long as the movie's reputation doesn't collapse too badly and can help promote the comics, that'll be enough.
"So, Director Kiryu, look... is there really no chance of saving Dragon Ball?"
Horiuchi Marue asked nervously, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
If what Nanaya said is true, then the "Dragon Ball" IP is doomed in North America.
No, it's not just "Dragon Ball"; all of Shueisha's IPs are unlikely to be noticed by Hollywood.
"I'm afraid it's difficult."
Although the old man in front of him looked quite pitiful, Nanaya still chose to tell the truth.
"As far as I know, Fox is not planning to adapt the film according to the comic book," Nanaya said irresponsibly. "They are planning to use an American youth campus drama as the beginning of the film. I believe the final product will be far from the original content."
"And it's at least three meters."
Nanaya emphasized it again.
"Hello!"
Ryan pushed Nanaya, and she seemed to think that the description of Nanaya was not very polite.
"In short, Fox's adaptation of the movie script will definitely make it so that even Akira Toriyama can't tell that it's Dragon Ball."
In fact, the content of the script of the "Dragon Ball" movie is now kept secret.
Nanaya, the director who has a grudge against Fox, shouldn't have known about this content at all.
But Nanaya didn't mind revealing these contents, he even hoped that they would reach Fox's ears.
If Fox mistakenly thought there was a mole among its members and fired a wave of employees, Nanaya would be even happier.
Horiuchi Marue's body began to shake, and he had to hold on to the wall to keep his balance.
Because the president of Shueisha doesn't pay much attention to Hollywood, he doesn't know about the feud between Nanaya and Fox.
In Horiuchi Marue's opinion, Nanaya has been working in Hollywood for a long time, so he is naturally much more informed than herself.
Moreover, his Shueisha had never offended the other party, so the content that Nanaya gave him must be the accurate information he had found out.
Although the information that Nanaya gave was not obtained by himself, he did not deceive Horiuchi Marue.
However, Horiuchi Marue did not give up. He panted and trembled and said, "But...if the special effects of the movie are good enough and the fighting is exciting enough..."
Horiuchi Marue's words sounded like a discussion with Nanaya, but also like she was comforting herself.
But Nanaya added the final blow: "The most important thing is that they quoted a cost of 40 million US dollars for Dragon Ball."
In the desperate eyes of Horiuchi Marue, Nanaya said something very scary to him.
"Let's put it this way. The production cost of my FZ Part 1 reached 100 million US dollars. You can imagine that the special effects of FZ were reduced to only 40%."
"Oh…"
Horiuchi Marue covered his heart, but he didn't faint on the spot. Nanaya felt that he could really hold on.
"Director Kiryu, can you think of a way to minimize the impact of this terrible movie?"
Horiuchi Marue was determined to try his best, he grabbed Nanaya's hand and wanted a solution.
As for giving up the cooperation agreement with Fox and recovering the copyright.
Horiuchi Marue had never even thought about such a thing.
It's not that Shueisha can't afford the compensation, but the impact of doing so is too bad.
Although Shueisha is very powerful in Japan, it is nothing compared to Fox, which is backed by News Corporation.
Horiuchi Marue believed that if she dared to do this, the relationship between Shueisha and Fox would definitely reach freezing point.
After all, if the movie is bad, it can only be regarded as the breakdown of business cooperation. The worst that can happen is that Fox will not sell the copyright to it in the future.
But going back on its word will definitely be a huge blow to Shueisha's reputation in the North American film and television industry.
Unless Shueisha feels that it does not intend to sell all of its IPs to Hollywood in the future, they would not even dare to think about recovering the copyright.
