Although the movie "Murder Speculation: Before" is nominally a new version of "Kara no Kyoukai", it tells the story of when Ryougi Shiki and Mikiya Kokutou just met.
Judging from the story timeline, this movie is more like a prequel of the same nature as FZ.
However, one thing is beyond doubt, that is, the protagonist of the movie is still Ryougi Shiki.
Especially the character she played in the movie, Ryougi Ori, who seemed much more lively and cheerful than the cold Ryougi Shiki.
This felt very novel to many of Ryougi's fans who had long been accustomed to the aloof and aloof young lady.
In Nanaya's opinion, this was probably more like Ryougi Shiki's true character. After all, this troublesome cheap junior sister had never learned the word "well-behaved".
But this is not the point. The point is that Kiritsugu's filming technique is too much towards a horror movie.
The shocking camera language scared Nanaya half to death in the cinema.
If he hadn't been able to hold Ryan's hand tightly, he would have probably left the game early.
"Nanaya, aren't you in the movie business? Why are you so scared?"
When the show was over, Nanaya was almost supported by Ryan as he walked out of the theater.
"I'm not very good at this kind of thing." Nanaya said with a bitter face, "If it's just about creating an atmosphere, it's fine, but I just don't like this kind of simple Jump scare."
"Cowardly?" Ryan asked, tilting his head.
"He's not a coward."
I don't know when Ryougi Shiki jumped out from the side.
"Hello!"
Nanaya complained, but Shiki didn't give him any face.
"Ori told me that before. How did you say that?" Shiki poked Nanaya's belly with her arm in a teasing manner.
Nanaya sighed and said helplessly: "This kind of low-level abuse of Jump scare is completely useless except for making people with weak hearts startled."
"Hahaha."
Ryougi Shiki pointed at Nanaya and laughed exaggeratedly.
"That's it. That's it."
Nanaya ignored Shiki who was bent over with laughter, and left the cinema quickly with Ryan without saying a word.
He didn't want Kiritsugu to see him getting so shocked by a movie that his legs went weak.
Nanaya would never admit that he was frightened, he swore it was just because of the heart defect he was born with.
"The latter is obviously a bigger problem than the former, right?" Ryan was dismissive of Nanaya's statement, "If that's the case, you should go see a doctor right away!"
"Emiya Kiritsugu!"
Nanaya ignored his "girlfriend" beside him. He gritted his teeth and swore: "When I finish filming "Madoka Magica", I will let you know what the true art of fear is!"
Although Nanaya's words sounded more like impotent rage, he himself did not think so.
In order to get back at someone, Nanaya vowed to invite Kiritsugu to watch the premiere of "Purgatory Flame" in the future.
"Madoka Magica" is the example that Nanaya prepared to set for Kiritsugu, and "Purgatory Flame" is Nanaya's naked revenge on Kiritsugu.
Is there anything more sour and satisfying than letting this guy see himself strangling his wife to death and shooting his daughter?
Nanaya believes that won't happen.
Although Nanaya himself was scared to death by "Murder Speculation Before", the quality of the movie itself is still acceptable.
Of course, this is based on the model of Japanese commercial films.
In Kiritsugu's version of "Murder Speculation: Part 1", he did not completely let himself go just because he and Nanaya had a disagreement.
In the movie, although Kiritsugu Emiya served as the director and screenwriter at the same time, the movie did not deviate from the original framework.
Of course, as a director with a completely different style from Nanaya, there is still a big difference between "Murder Speculation: Prequel" and the old "Kara no Kyoukai" trilogy.
Apart from the horror elements that were criticized by Nanaya (actually, they scared him), the style of action scenes in "Murder Speculation" also changed a lot.
Because of his past life, Nanaya was influenced by Kung Fu and martial arts movies, and he also watched classic Hollywood movies for many years.
Therefore, his action scenes are more fierce and more in line with the aesthetic tastes of audiences around the world.
But Kiritsugu Emiya's action style is obviously more Japanese, and Nanaya can see the shadow of swordplay in many shots of the movie.
This will obviously be more approachable to local Japanese audiences and is expected to have good box office results.
But it also limits the film's promotion overseas. After all, the overly Japanese style will be different from the aesthetics of other countries.
But these things have little to do with Nanaya. Even if he is called a screenwriter and producer, Nanaya is just getting a fixed salary.
Anyway, with his current net worth, he doesn't really care about the income from "Kara no Kyoukai".
As for Kiritsugu Emiya, Nanaya still recognized his ability as a director.
Kiritsugu Emiya once said something in an interview.
In the Japanese film market, I am still very business-minded.
Judging from the results, this is indeed the case.
Although the special effects of "Murder Speculations: Before" are far inferior to those of FZ, it also allows the audience sitting in the theater to enjoy the pleasure of vision and sound effects.
This is also the entertainment value of commercial films and the basis for whether a film can achieve commercial success.
The box office performance of "Murder Speculation" also proves one thing. The box office performance of 720 million in the first week and the good audience reputation both indicate that this movie will follow a perfect curve.
But Nanaya had no time to take care of these things because Shion suddenly returned to Japan from North America.
This is not the point. The point is that he was caught by Shion when he was cuddling with Ryan in the villa.
This is becoming very embarrassing.
Here's what happened specifically.
After the premiere, Nanaya invited Ryan to spend the night at his villa, saying that he couldn't sleep after watching "Murder Speculation".
In fact, Nanaya was just looking for an excuse to try it out at the beginning. It wouldn't be necessary to say that he was scared that much.
Besides, with Sera and Leysritt around, it wouldn't matter if Nanaya was really scared.
I'm willing to sacrifice my life to pull Sera to bed.
Anyway, they are scared to death, so getting beaten is no big deal.
Who would have thought that Nanaya's decision, which was completely a joke, was actually agreed to by Ryan.
"Well, if that makes you feel better."
When Ryan said this, his clear big eyes made Nanaya see the brilliance of motherhood (actually it was an illusion).
So that night, Nanaya didn't care what Ryan thought and just carried the blonde beauty to bed.
Of course, Nanaya did nothing but hold Ryan in his arms and sleep.
Ryan didn't really mind it. This kind of thing had happened in the United States, so it wouldn't be a big deal if it happened again.
"So, that's why you're sleeping on the floor with this English woman in sweats?"
Shion raised her eyebrows and asked sharply to Nanaya who was kneeling in front of her.
"Not really…"
Nanaya scratched his cheek. He really wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
"Just explain yourself. I'm not in a hurry."
Shion said calmly as she sipped the coffee that Sera brought her.
Nanaya secretly glanced at Ryan who was standing next to Shion, but the other person's face was red and he didn't say anything.
[What happened to the love rival event? Why did you back off now? Didn't I just touch your breasts and butt? ]
Ryan blushed and lowered his head. It looked as if she was planning to suffocate herself with the deep ravine in her chest.
"This was totally an accident."
Seeing that he could no longer rely on this blonde beauty, Nanaya could only explain himself.
"I have the habit of exercising every day, Shion, you know that, right?"
Shion hooked her ear with her little finger and acted nonchalant.
"What kind of exercise?" Shion pretended not to understand, "Under the bed or on the bed?"
"Of course it's the bed...Pfft, I'm talking about exercise to keep fit."
Nanaya spit out a mouthful of disgust, realizing that he was almost tricked by Shion's words.
In order to stay healthy, Nanaya has the habit of exercising.
After all, your body is your capital.
Besides, if you don't maintain a good body, how can you subdue these little goblins?
Nanaya's villa in the United States has a special fitness equipment room, but there is no such thing in the villa in Japan.
But it doesn't matter. As a loyal shareholder and fan of Washimine, Nanaya purchased the full set of Wii equipment and all the games.
So Nanaya started playing WiiSports directly in the living room.
Anyway, Nanaya is not about building muscles or losing weight.
If you just want to stay in shape, the amount of exercise you get from WiiSports is enough.
"That's enough."
Shion interrupted Nanaya's explanation.
"Don't tell me you lost your balance while doing exercise, so this woman helped you up and both of you fell to the ground."
"…About the same."
Nanaya's eyes were a little vague.
The actual situation was that Ryan supported Nanaya, but Nanaya accidentally touched some sensitive parts of Ryan's body.
It wasn't a big deal actually. Nanaya apologized and the two of them stood up again and it was over.
No one knew which sensitive part of Ryan's body Nanaya touched. The woman neither said a word nor pushed Nanaya away. Instead, she hugged him tighter and tighter.
Anyway, Nanaya himself didn't enjoy any erotic treatment. Instead, he felt like he was almost strangled to death.
Fortunately, the sound of Shion entering the room scared Ryan, and he finally let go of Nanaya before he suffocated.
The downside is that the frightened Ryan directly pulled Nanaya to the ground, and let Shion catch them in the room.
However, Nanaya did not intend to tell Shion about these things. Since the other party thought it was an accident, let her think so.
Anyway, Sera and Leysritt were not here just now, so Nanaya was not afraid of Shion asking people.
Shion narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice to make a coquettish sound.
"Hey, sister. Where did your brother-in-law touch you just now?"
"Breasts and buttocks... huh???!!!"
Ryan said it subconsciously, but when she looked up she didn't see her sister Lily.
Nanaya, who was kneeling on the floor, looked at the smug Shion with a look of horror.
In fact, Shion's imitation was nothing like that, but Ryan, who was daydreaming, didn't have time to react at all and was directly tricked.
Pop.
Shion opened the folding fan in her hand, showing her queenly demeanor.
"Nanaya~"
Shion said slowly.
"I am here, please speak, Your Majesty."
"The floor is too cold. It's not good for your health. Go get a washboard."
"…Yes, sir."
