After the Oscar list was announced, everyone in the "Puella Magica" crew felt very sorry.
After all, as the most influential film award in the world, it would be a pity if one's own director failed to receive favor.
But Nanaya himself didn't care at all.
Don't you see that Michael Bay is as miserable as you are?
But if investors have $100 million to invest in a movie, Michael Bay is far more popular than the nominees for Best Director.
So on the second day after the list of winners was announced, Nanaya walked into the set as usual.
This guy was holding a rice ball in his hand and eating it with great pleasure.
After all, being able to eat rice in a remote place like New Zealand is already a great happiness.
"Hey, good morning everyone~"
Nanaya's mouth kept moving as he greeted others.
However, there was one person in the crew that Nanaya had never expected.
"Hey~ Nanaya, long time no see."
Nanaya stopped chewing the rice ball and squinted his eyes at the uninvited guy in front of him.
"Why are you here, man?"
When Nanaya saw the annoying yellow-haired man, he immediately felt that the rice ball in his hand no longer tasted good.
"It's a shame to say that. Aren't we close friends?"
Shiki spread his hands and said innocently.
Nanaya looked to the other side: "No, I just think that your presence here must be bad."
You should know that the shooting of FZ and HF has been completed.
There is no reason for the four seasons to appear in front of him.
Because Nanaya knew that this guy didn't have any old friends coming to visit him.
If he really wanted to come and visit me, he should have come during the New Year.
Nanaya would never believe that he came to find him at this time without other motives.
"What are you doing here?"
Nanaya sat down on the director's chair and said unhappily.
"Well, something happened."
Shiki Matsuno smiled very strangely.
What does this smile mean?
Nanaya felt strange and immediately became alert.
If I remember correctly, the last time this guy laughed like this was in college.
At that time, Shiki was too playful in picking up girls and accidentally made appointments with two female netizens to meet at the same time.
So this beast shamelessly came to Nanaya, hoping that he could take his place on one of the dates.
That time, Nanaya was badly harmed by this guy.
If it weren't for the fact that the other party covered all the expenses, he would never agree to it.
As for the result, there is nothing much to say. Nanaya just fooled around a bit and it was fine.
It was just really awkward when I was having dinner with that girl.
Nanaya had no idea where this guy found this literary young woman.
After a night, Nanaya felt that he and the other party were completely on different wavelengths.
Thinking of the other party's criminal record, Nanaya immediately became suspicious of this guy's visit.
"You, you didn't make some woman pregnant, did you?"
There was a look of doubt in Nanaya's eyes.
"How is that possible? It would be nice if that were the case."
Shiki Matsuno took off his sunglasses and said helplessly.
Nanaya immediately noticed the dark circles under Shiki's eyes.
"You look really worried, what happened?"
Shiki said a little embarrassedly: "I lost money making the movie."
"puff--"
Nanaya laughed out loud.
"Hey! Is this funny?"
Shiki Matsuno's face immediately turned green.
Nanaya waved his hands repeatedly: "No, I just think it's funny that you would worry about losing money on making a movie."
Making a movie is like playing the lottery; the risks far outweigh the rewards.
No one has ever said that he has always made a lot of money from making movies and has never lost money in his life.
If there really is one, it can only be a time traveler like Nanaya.
People like this will be sent to the research institute for biopsy.
So it's not surprising at all that Four Seasons makes a loss while shooting a movie.
What Nanaya found strange was that this guy was actually worried about losing money on making a movie.
Therefore, the general rule in the industry is that crew members will not use their own money to make a movie, but the company level is another matter.
But even if a movie is made under the name of a company, most of the funds are raised externally.
Unless you are an unknown little person who cannot find investment, you can only use your savings to gamble for your future.
It is an exception among exceptions that Nanaya used his own money to shoot "Madoka Magica".
The general explanation given by outsiders is that people are rich and willful.
Since everyone asks outsiders for money to make movies, everyone naturally has their own say.
To ensure that he would not fall into debt due to the poor performance of the movie.
Generally speaking, a film project will have an agreement with the investors in advance at the beginning of the project.
Therefore, even if the movie loses money, according to the agreement, the investor cannot do anything to the filming party.
Of course there are exceptions.
For example, signing an unequal agreement with investors and selling one's body to make a film.
Or maybe the investor is particularly strong-willed or unreasonable.
For example, looking for gangsters to make movies.
But Nanaya didn't think that an old man like Shiki Matsuno in the circle would make such a low-level mistake.
Besides, the movies that Shiki makes himself are usually low-budget romance movies.
Even if it loses money, the cost of the film won't be too high.
Nanaya didn't believe that the eldest son of Toei would be unable to pay back the money.
"This time it's a little different." Shiki Matsuno said, pinching his eyebrows, "I feel like I've been cheated."
"Tell me about it."
Nanaya immediately perked up, as the opportunity to see the yellow-haired creature in front of him suffer a setback was too rare.
"Well~"
Shiki stopped talking midway.
Perhaps he felt that exposing himself in front of Nanaya, an acquaintance of his, would damage his image, so he simply chose to avoid it.
"Don't worry about the reason. Anyway, I came to your place for refuge."
Shiki said in a slightly flattering tone, "Just give me a job to do, and I'll stay here for half a year."
Nanaya raised his eyebrows: "I don't accept people with unknown origins here."
"Am I that kind of person?"
Shiki Matsuno suddenly felt that she was more wronged than the legendary Dou E.
"At least your motives are unclear."
Nanaya answered bluntly.
He knows this guy Shiki too well, and he will take advantage of you if you give him face.
"Are you still my friend..." Shiki Matsuno curled his lips, "Anyway, don't ask me why I came here. Just give me a job with free food and accommodation."
Seeing that this guy was serious, Nanaya gave up asking any further questions.
At worst, I can just ask Bali to help me find out.
Anyway, the entertainment industry is not big, so what happens in the four seasons is definitely no secret.
Since there is free labor provided, Nanaya will naturally not be polite in using it.
After all, the ability of Shiki is still there.
Nanaya originally wanted to offer this guy a salary, but in the end he only asked for food and lodging.
This is such a good deal.
"That's right, I have two jobs for you to do."
"Which two? Can I pick one?"
Shiki Matsuno asked quickly.
"You wish!"
Nanaya snorted coldly, he finished all the remaining rice balls in his hand, and then told him.
"You need to help me review the footage I shot previously. If there are any minor issues, you can help me reshoot it."
Nanaya has almost finished the literary scenes.
But after watching it several times, Nanaya always felt that there was room for improvement.
Let this guy Shiki Matsuno help me polish it, maybe there will be unexpected results.
Although I have no intention of winning any awards, since I want to compete with "Avatar", I naturally have to do my best in all aspects.
"One more thing, you have to help me as a teaching assistant."
Nanaya took a sip of the hot tea in the thermos to moisten his throat, then gave instructions to Shiki.
"Huh? Teaching assistant?"
Countless question marks suddenly appeared in Shiki Matsuno's head.
··
The arrival of the four seasons did not cause much waves for the crew of "Madoka Magica".
After all, the tasks that Nanaya gave him did not involve much contact with other people.
But the arrival of the four seasons is just a beginning.
Just two days after he arrived, Sugiyama and Ryan also returned to the crew.
Sugiyama had nothing to say, so Nanaya simply threw him and Yumi to Shiki.
Let Shiki Matsuno give the two of them some basic instruction first.
In terms of level, Nanaya is still reassured by Shiki's abilities.
However, in order to prevent Shiki Matsuno from infecting Sugiyama and Yumi with some of their bad habits, Nanaya asked Leysritt to watch over them the whole time.
At the same time, Leysritt was also given the authorization to kick her to death if necessary.
However, Yumi, who was the teaching subject, did not look very happy.
When Nanaya left her to Shiki Matsuno, Yumi-chan always looked at Shiki with a very resentful look.
This made Nanaya feel a little guilty.
Ryan's arrival made Nanaya very happy.
After being together for such a long time, Nanaya felt a little empty suddenly without this blonde beauty by his side.
Cough cough.
Nanaya said that without Ryan as his assistant, he was a little uncomfortable at work.
After regaining his female assistant, Nanaya immediately threw himself into his work with full confidence.
According to the crew's schedule, Nanaya needs to complete the filming of all of Tomoe Mami's scenes.
This is not difficult at all. After all, Luvia is a top-notch actor in both acting skills and physical fitness.
He can handle both literary and action scenes with ease.
With the actors' strong performance, the shooting speed is naturally very smooth.
When there were only a few shots left of Mami Tomoe, Nanaya suddenly realized that the current time was actually a few days earlier than he had expected.
"I really can't bear to let her go. It's really comfortable to use..."
Ryan, who was following behind Nanaya, frowned slightly at Nanaya's sigh.
"Nanaya, this kind of talk is totally harassment, it will lower your rating."
"You must have misheard it, right?" Nanaya said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I believe Luvia won't mind."
"But I do mind."
Ryan pursed his lips and whispered.
"Ha?"
"I mean!" Ryan probably said loudly, "I don't want the boss I serve to be such a frivolous person!"
"Hmm…"
Nanaya rubbed his ears, he felt like his ears were about to explode.
"What the hell, you're yelling so loudly."
Looking at Ryan with an angry look on his face, Nanaya didn't know how he had offended her.
