Movie Queen Development Plan

"Absolutely not!"

Ori directly rejected Nanaya's request. He stared at Nanaya with what he thought was a very serious look, trying to show his determination.

However, Ori's action had the opposite effect. In Nanaya's eyes, this girl was exactly like the replica of the Chinese sister in his mind, which made him more determined to invite Ori to star in the movie.

"Ori, didn't you appear in my experimental short film? Your interpretation of Ryougi Shiki left a deep impression on everyone. If you don't believe me, you can ask Manager Kaiuchi."

"Well... indeed, Ryougi Ori's acting is indeed outstanding and she is fully capable of taking on the responsibility of the heroine." Kaiuchi originally wanted to say a few fair words on Ori's behalf, but he found that Nanaya was looking at him with threatening eyes, so he could only change his words and express his own opinion in line with Nanaya's wishes.

"Look, it's destiny that you become the protagonist of Kara no Kyoukai." Nanaya continued to persuade sincerely, "The reason why I created the story of Kara no Kyoukai is because of you. You were originally the prototype of the character Ryougi Shiki, so it's really perfect for you to appear."

In fact, Nanaya thought of creating the script of "Kara no Kyoukai" after seeing Ori, but Nanaya would never say it openly. Anyway, there is neither Takeuchi Takami nor Nasu Kinoko in this parallel world, so he is right no matter what he says.

Ori shouted madly: "Then senior, can't you design this character as a male?"

"Nonsense, how can male protagonists cheat otakus' money these days? Of course, it's better with girls... No, it's the character of Ryougi Shiki who represents the self-reliance and charm of women. People have seen enough of men saving women these days. It's the 21st century now, it's time for female protagonists to rise! You know, women hold up half the sky!" Nanaya looked righteous and I wonder if he really thought he was a female liberator.

"I always feel that what you want to say is not what you mean at all."

Ori's face was full of black lines. After listening to Nanaya's explanation, he became more and more unwilling to play this role.

[I always felt that I would lose something important if I appeared on camera... After all, I let it go. ]

So Ori shook his head and replied, "Absolutely not, Senior. Don't think about these nonsense anymore."

"Eh?! Just once is enough, as long as we get through this time! Even if there is a chance to make a sequel in the future, I will not ask you to star in it."

Facing the aggressive Ori, Nanaya adopted the strategy of retreating to advance. He imitated Illya and the way she acted like a spoiled child, staring at the other party with his black eyes and pleading eyes.

This move was named "Big Shining Eyes" by Illya, and she said it was her secret weapon that never failed.

Of course, Nanaya obviously forgot that she was not a cute little girl, but a pseudo-uncle who looked nearly 30 years old. As the one who was struck by lightning, Oribu couldn't feel the sincerity of his predecessor, but was instead struck by lightning and burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.

"No means no!" Ori hurriedly avoided the sight.

"Just this once, all you have to do is strike a few poses in front of the camera!"

Thinking that he had achieved victory, Nanaya hurriedly continued to follow. No matter which side Ori turned, Nanaya would always stay right in front of him, staring at his eyes with a look that made Ori feel sick.

[I didn't expect that Senior could be more annoying than a dog-skin plaster. What on earth have you learned in the past few years? Give me back that gentle and elegant Senior!]

Ori wanted to seek help from other like-minded people, but everyone present was either like Kaiuchi who thought Ori could play the leading role and remained silent, or like Katsura Mamako and Illya who wanted to watch the show. Everyone unanimously chose to turn a blind eye to Ori's begging gaze.

Unable to avoid it, Ori simply closed his eyes and pretended to ignore it.

"No means no. Anyway, I won't play Ryougi Shiki in front of the camera! Senior, instead of wasting your time here with me, you might as well quickly work with Manager Kaiuchi to re-finalize the female lead."

"And you were fired again?" Nanaya took the initiative to grab Ori's hands again, "Ori is the only one I can trust now. If you agree to play the leading role, I will agree to anything you ask. Even if you want me to appear in women's clothing with you!"

"That would just turn the movie into a horror movie!"

Ori chopped Nanaya's head with a knife, but his attitude finally softened.

"I understand." After thinking for a long time, Ori looked at Nanaya and finally accepted the task reluctantly, "But, it's only this time. So next time... Hey, listen to me!"

"The operation was a great success!"

The excited Nanaya ignored Ori's additional request and just clapped and celebrated with everyone including Illya.

"Really..." Ori sighed helplessly as he looked at the people celebrating, "Do you really care that much about the heroine or something?"

"Ori~chan" Mother Katsura put one hand on Ryougi Ori's shoulder and raised her thumb with the other hand and said, "What we care about is that you, Ori-chan, become the heroine~"

"That's why I don't want it!"

Ori let out a wail.

However, Ori didn't know that according to the Wang Jingze Zhenxiang Law, one of the three laws of human nature, he would play this role countless times in the future, forever and ever...

——————————————————————————————————————

That night, Ryutani Nobuyuki found that his precious granddaughter was in a very good mood while eating dinner, and even laughed from time to time.

Ryutani Nobuyuki was very curious about Illya's abnormal behavior. He couldn't remember any good things happening recently that would make his grandson so happy. It was obviously another half year before his daughter and son-in-law would return from the United States.

[Does she have a boyfriend?! Not allowed! Absolutely not allowed! No bug can touch my Illya!]

Nobuyuki's face darkened when he suddenly thought of this possibility. He would not allow any paramecium to attack his granddaughter. If there was any, he would just fill the paramecium with cement and sink it into Tokyo Bay!

Here~~~~~~

Because he used too much force with his hands without realizing it, Ryutani Nobuyuki accidentally cut a cut on the plate with the dinner knife.

However, Illya did not notice her grandfather's actions, she was still in a state of secretly being happy.

"Hehe~"

After Illya laughed out loud for the 38th time, Ryugu Nobuyuki, who could no longer bear it, asked her the reason: "Hey, Illya? What are you so happy about? Is it a boy... a boy..."

Nobuyuki was too embarrassed to say the word "boyfriend" out loud. After all, if his granddaughter misunderstood that he had ulterior motives and wanted to kill her to silence her, it would be troublesome for her to ignore him. (Although he did intend to do so)

Illya didn't notice her grandfather's subtle expression. She excitedly explained to him, "Well, Grandpa. Illya invested in a movie today~"

"So that's how it is. It's not about a boyfriend but a movie... What? A movie!!!"

Bang!

Nobuyuki was so surprised that he cut the plate in half, but his attention was no longer on dinner.

[Are you kidding me?! Who on earth fooled Illya into investing in a movie? What if she loses money?! ! ! ]

In Ryutani Nobuyuki's plan, the first movie invested by his granddaughter as his successor must be beautiful, the kind that can win film awards and be a big hit. Only such a movie can match Illya's status and vision as the "granddaughter of the movie emperor."

In this way, even if Illya fails in her investments in the future, as long as she has the experience of successful investment for the first time, Illya will still be regarded as a discerning investor by everyone.

But now, his granddaughter has given away her first time so carelessly. If this project fails, his granddaughter is likely to become a laughing stock among others.

Ryutani Nobuyuki would never allow such a thing to happen, so he decided to kick that person out of the film industry before Illya confirmed the investment.

No, there's no need to drive it out, just sink it directly into Tokyo Bay!

"Illya...what kind of movies are you investing in?"

"It's a very interesting film. The leading actress just quit the film recently, which caused a shortage of funds for the film. Illya is very optimistic about the film, so she helped to invest more."

Illya had no intention of hiding anything, she told the truth directly.

[This situation sounds familiar, Masaka——]

Ryutani Nobuyuki immediately realized something and he froze there.

"Yes, it's the movie 'Kara no Kyoukai' by Kiryu-sama~"

Illya's words directly confirmed her grandfather's guess.

"Kiryu Nanaya! How dare you kidnap my granddaughter!"

At this moment, Ryutani Nobuyuki felt that he had laughed too early when he made fun of his friend during the day.
