In Nanaya's opinion, Yumi seems to have a sense of crisis. She always seems to think that her position in Trier is precarious.
This may be due to her lack of self-confidence and the psychological trauma caused by failing in various selections when she was a child.
This may be one of the reasons why Yumi still cannot decide whether to continue her studies.
After all, if she went to a normal university, she would at least have a normal diploma.
It's a guarantee for the future.
But if she goes to a junior college, she will end up in the entertainment industry.
This uncertainty may be the main reason why the little girl is always anxious.
However, Nanaya felt that Yumi was worrying over nothing.
Even if he and Washimine ignored her, Yumi's father would not ignore her.
With her status as a mid-level executive at Dentsu, even if Yumi cannot become a huge star, she still has the status of a second-tier star.
Not to mention, it's impossible for Nanaya to just watch his little Lolita not being able to find a job and become a shut-in, right?
Although Nanaya had guessed the crux of the matter, he certainly couldn't explain the filthiness of the adult world to the little loli.
"Yumi-chan..."
Nanaya thought for a while and asked, "Are you asking if you can stay in the entertainment industry for the rest of your life?"
"Um..."
The little girl nodded shyly.
Nanaya asked curiously: "Why do you have such an idea?"
"Because Yumi isn't as likable as Lily-sister... nor is she as sociable as Rin-sister... nor does she have the authority as Sakura-sister..."
After hearing Yumi's answer, Nanaya's first reaction was to spank Rin.
That's right, I just want to spank Rin.
Yumi's words revealed a lot of information.
This girl Rin's prestige in the team is actually not as high as Sakura's.
You are the captain! !
What kind of plane are you doing?
Even if Sakura is older, it shouldn't be the case that he can't even control Sakura, right?
[It seems that Rin's recent work focus is not on the team at all...]
Nanaya felt that it was time to have a good talk with Rin.
There's nothing wrong with focusing on your own career, but since you are still the captain of [Trier], you naturally have to be responsible for the team.
Are you, Tohsaka Rin, getting too proud, or do you think your man can't beat you anymore?
But communication with Rin would definitely have to wait until later.
"So since Yumi-chan thinks she's not capable enough, does that mean she's going to give up?"
Nanaya paced around the office, then turned to look at Yumi.
"I don't... I just hope to be... stronger."
[At least I can be closer to you. ]
The tip of the girl's small nose curled up slightly, and she added silently in her heart.
"In that case...if Yumi-chan feels that you are not capable enough, do you want to improve yourself?"
Nanaya Kiryu picked up her coffee on the table, took a sip and asked.
"I...big brother, if you need me...I can do it!"
Yumi looked shy, but her tone was firm.
"???"
A question mark slowly formed in Nanaya Kiryu's mind.
I just wanted to train the other person, but why did this girl say that I wanted to engage in compensated dating with her?
How can you give such a nonsensical answer?
"Ahem."
Nanaya tried to make his tone more serious: "Yumi... have you ever thought about working behind the scenes?"
"Behind the scenes?"
"Since you think you can't do well on stage, Yumi-chan, how about trying behind the scenes?"
Yumi's mouth opened wide, and the expression on her face quickly turned into ecstasy.
"Is it really possible?!"
"Well, yes. If that's okay with you personally..."
Anyway, that idiot Shanshan will be here in a couple of days.
You've been called teacher for so long, you should at least teach me something real.
Nanaya plans to take Sugiyama with him during the filming process, which can be regarded as practical teaching and research.
Based on the principle of driving away one sheep and letting two sheep go.
Nanaya didn't think there was anything wrong with bringing Yumi along.
"I do!"
Yumi interrupted her director loudly.
But the girl immediately realized that she was a little too excited.
Then he lowered his head and apologized embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, big brother. I..."
"Fine."
Kiryu Nanaya smiled and placed her hands on Yumi's shoulders.
"Since you are willing, then give it a try."
Nanaya's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at the other person with a smile.
"But I have to say this first. You must first play your role well. This is your most important job~"
"I will try my best!"
Although Yumi-chan looked a little lacking in confidence, she still tried her best to clench her fists.
"…But can I really do that? I hope it won't cause any trouble to you, big brother?"
Looking at Yumi who was feeling sorry for herself again, Nanaya sighed slightly.
"Why does Yumi-chan feel like she can't?"
Nanaya gently held the girl's hand and looked straight into her eyes.
"Yumi-chan, you're the rising star of the world's top idol group [Trier]. If you can't do it, who else can?"
"Hey~~Big brother, you actually... look at me like this?"
When Yumi heard this, she covered her face with her hands in embarrassment: "I always feel so ashamed when my big brother says this to me."
[It feels so good, please praise me more! ]
Although she is still a shy little girl on the surface, Yumi is like a Ferrari sports car running at 200 miles per hour in her heart.
"Well, Yumi-chan, you need to be more confident."
Nanaya gently stroked Yumi's head.
Although he didn't have the ability to read minds, he could feel that Yumi became a lot more cheerful after he praised her.
Since praise is effective, Nanaya will naturally build more confidence in Yumi.
Afterwards, Nanaya discussed some issues with Yumi regarding the role she played.
Throughout the whole process, Nanaya mainly praised and commended.
By the time it was almost over, Yumi looked much more cheerful than when she first came in.
"Okay, it's almost time, I still have work to do." Nanaya patted Yumi's shoulder.
"Yumi-chan, you should also go to bed early. If you don't hurry up, you will be late for the cafeteria meal."
Seeing that Yumi had finally come out of the shadows, Nanaya decided to end the conversation.
"Um... Big Brother... Wait, I have a small request."
Perhaps it was the motivation that the man had just given her that made Yumi muster up all her courage.
"Um?"
"Can you... hug me?"
The U.S. brand tea kettle made a roaring sound like steam.
That's impossible.
No matter how excited people in the real world are, they can never really produce steam.
But Nanaya still felt Yumi's desire.
"...All right."
Nanaya originally planned to refuse.
But seeing how serious the girl was, Nanaya softened his heart again.
If she were really rejected here, Yumi would probably suffer from a lifetime of psychological trauma.
The courage that he had just accumulated with his help would probably disappear completely.
[It's just a hug from a brother to his sister. ]
Thinking of this, Nanaya hugged the girl's soft body in his arms.
The girl's body is very light and soft.
It felt completely different from Rin, Sakura, and Shion.
Nanaya hugged Yumi silently for about ten seconds, then he let go of Yumi.
"Well, Yumi, see you on the set tomorrow!"
Yumi knew that this was the end of the day, so she nodded obediently.
"Goodbye, big brother!"
————————————————————
Although a new task was added to Yumi.
However, in the next two days, Nanaya did not directly arrange for Yumi to participate in the behind-the-scenes production.
After all, there are still a few days before Sugiyama arrives in New Zealand, and Mr. Nanaya's class won't start so soon.
Moreover, although Yumi now knows the basic process of film production, she only has a superficial understanding of the specific operations.
So when there was no filming, Nanaya asked Yumi to follow Shonan to familiarize herself with the operating procedures of each position on the set.
In fact, Nanaya didn't think about letting Yumi really learn anything, or become a director like him.
He just hopes to gradually build up Yumi's confidence in the process, and that's enough.
Compared to the actors standing in front of the camera and being "manipulated", the staff behind the scenes obviously have a stronger sense of self-satisfaction when completing the movie.
Just as Nanaya was steadily advancing the production of "Madoka Magica", something big and small happened.
The shortlist for this year's Oscars has emerged.
Like Nanaya's previous films, FZ did not receive any nominations for any major awards.
As for the technical awards, there are mixed nominations for Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Effects.
But Nanaya estimated that he would most likely be a runner-up again.
Best sound effects means nothing at all, nor is it best score.
Neither Nanaya nor Shion thought public relations was necessary.
As for the best visual effects, FZ has a slight chance of winning it given its visual characteristics.
But think about the other nominees: The Golden Compass, Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End, and Transformers.
It's not that Nanaya is self-deprecating and thinks that FZ's special effects cannot compare to those of these three movies.
But Nanaya knew that the Best Visual Effects Award in history was given to "The Golden Compass".
When it comes to visual effects, "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "Transformers" are no worse than "The Golden Compass".
Even in terms of visual technology contributions to the film industry, both make far more than the latter.
But why did "The Golden Compass" still win the award in the end?
To put it bluntly, it's still a question of the film's Oscar attributes.
It is well known to everyone that the Oscars do not favor fantasy works.
But the Best Visual Effects Award is mostly only given to movies with fantasy stories.
After all, this type of film is the type that best showcases the visual wonders of cinema.
After all, there won't be a freak movie like "Titanic" for decades.
In such an environment, academicians are not very fond of this award.
To find an unpopular movie from an unpopular genre and give it an unpopular award.
So the final result can only be to choose an option that they find slightly more pleasing to the eye.
Specifically, they are Michael Bay from Transformers, Johnny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean, and Nanaya Kiryu and Lily Wettin from FZ.
These people are very disliked by the academic community.
Then the remaining "Golden Compass" is naturally the only option.
It's not that it's so great, but that people really don't want to choose other movies.
