Chapter 13: Substitute

"Absolutely not!"

Adachi said firmly: "You want to kill me!"

"Ms. Adachi, how can you say that? After all, I'm not a devil. Isn't it just jumping from one rooftop to another? I have made sufficient safety preparations, you won't be in danger." Nanaya showed a weird smile on his face, looking like a weird uncle who tricked a little girl into seeing goldfish.

"Do you believe what you said?!" Adachi Satomi almost burst into tears. She looked at the two steel wires swaying in the wind and said, "Can't you just use jump cuts?!"

"That wouldn't achieve the effect I want."

Nanaya pulled his hair in distress. He had said all the nice things he could but the other party still refused to give in.

The scene being filmed now is the scene where Ryougi Shiki appears before the final battle between Ryougi Shiki and Fujuo Kirie. The scene where Ryougi Shiki throws off her raincoat, reveals her Mystic Eyes of Death Perception, and pulls out a dagger can be said to be the highlight moment of the entire movie in Nanaya's expectation.

In order to increase the power and stunningness of Ryougi Shiki's appearance, Nanaya chose to have Ryougi Shiki, who was wearing a raincoat, jump from the roof of another building to the rooftop of the Fujou Building.

Let Ryougi Shiki throw away her raincoat and draw her sword in mid-air. Nanaya believes that this will definitely be more amazing than the original version.

So he would not give up shooting this shot no matter what. In order to create a sense of reality, he even set up a wire between the roofs of the two buildings, trying to make Adachi really pass through the rooftops of the two buildings.

However, this approach was far beyond the psychological bottom line of what Adachi Satomi could bear. No matter how Nanaya persuaded her, she just refused to agree.

Seeing that the scene has been set up, I am just waiting to start it.

Nanaya was extremely anxious at this moment. After all, it was not easy to build this scene. Every second of delay would mean a wasted budget.

"Ms. Adachi, you have to do this!" Nanaya's patience had been almost exhausted, and he seemed very angry at the moment.

Adachi was still very resistant: "Can't I use a substitute?"

"Do you think our crew can afford a professional stunt double?!"

Nanaya's self-righteous answer left Adachi Satomi speechless.

"Ms. Adachi, you are an actress. Please show your professionalism now!" Nanaya softened his tone a little. He believed that continuing to press the heroine would only push her to the opposite side of him.

Adachi glanced at the edge of the rooftop and finally decided to give up.

"No! I'm afraid of heights!"

"You!"

For a moment, Nanaya really wanted to slap this woman in the face, but in the end, Nanaya just slowly put down the hand that was raised high.

In fact, Nanaya knew that his request was a bit too much. Even action actors might not accept this shot, let alone ordinary actors like Adachi. After all, not everyone is Tom Cruise. But in order to pursue the ultimate visual performance, Nanaya still insisted on his idea.

Nanaya glanced at the crew members around him and found that everyone was anxiously waiting for the results of his discussion.

After looking down at the time, Nanaya said helplessly: "Take a 10-minute break first."

Then Nanaya picked up the phone and called Shonan who was filming on the roof of the building on the other side, "Shonan, you should take a break as well. We can't start the camera for a while."

Shonan was not surprised by this result: "Got it~? I have reminded Nanaya-san before that Miss Adachi is unlikely to agree~? Nanaya-san, you are too unkind to women~?"

Nanaya was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and hung up the phone directly, sitting on the chair and sulking. He knew very well that even if he really hung Adachi on the wire with such resistance from the actress, it would probably not be possible to take any good shots in her condition.

If I get too frightened and do something like peeing something in the wind, I'll probably be taken away by the police as soon as I finish filming.

But Nanaya was unwilling to give up just like that. You know, in order to show these handsome shots of Shiki, he drew nearly 20 storyboard sketches. In addition to other preparations made to confirm the feasibility of shooting, Nanaya had spent nearly 1 million of the budget on the preliminary preparations for this shot alone.

The thought of one million dollars of budget going down the drain was simply unbearable for a miser like Nanaya.

"Big brother, do you really want this shot?" Illya walked up to Nanaya, who was secretly worried, and asked with concern.

"Yes, but it seems that we have to give up now." Nanaya answered with regret.

Illya thought for a while, then suddenly clapped her hands beside Nanaya's ears.

Bang!

The crisp clapping sound almost scared Nanaya so much that he leaned back. He looked at Illya in shock and asked, "What's wrong?"

Illya hugged Nanaya's arm with excitement and said, "Hey, hey. Big brother, Illya has a way~"

"Really?!" Nanaya's face showed excitement, and he hurriedly grabbed Illya's shoulders to confirm.

"Just do it!" Illya pointed at Sera behind her, "Let Sera be the stuntman and there will be no problem."

"real?"

Nanaya looked at the maid suspiciously. Although he knew that she had outstanding fighting skills, it did not mean that she could be a stunt double.

Sera said calmly, "It should be no problem. In order to become a qualified maid for the young lady, I have specially done relevant training..."

Nanaya immediately asked: "What training?"

"For example, after being kidnapped with the young lady, how to kill all the robbers and escape safely. My best record is an entire battleship. The best result in the class is a certain butler, who took out an entire fleet by himself."

"Maid and butler turned out to be such dangerous jobs..." Nanaya couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead. He felt that it was really a blessing from God that he was not killed by Sera directly.

"Well, Sera. Is this jumping action okay?" Nanaya handed the storyboard to Sera and asked her to confirm it. The dawn had finally appeared, so Nanaya certainly didn't want to miss it.

"Well... let me try." Sera looked at the storyboard and made a few gestures. Finally, she decided to take on the task.

"Great, then Sera, you should change your clothes quickly." Nanaya shouted to his makeup artist, "Sister Katsura, please put on your makeup!"

···

About half an hour later, Sera, wearing a blue kimono and a black wig, appeared in front of everyone under the Katsuradance of Katsura Mamako.

Nanaya compared them carefully and nodded in praise: "There is a slight difference in the figures, but it's not a big problem."

Sera pointed at her red eyes and asked in confusion, "Is it okay not to wear colored contact lenses? In the setting, isn't Ryougi Shiki's eyes black?"

"It's not a big problem. Not to mention that because of the Death Eyes, special effects will be used on the eyes. Basically, the shots of you will only be of your side and back, and your face will not appear in the camera."

"Is that so..."

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Nanaya always felt that Sera seemed a little lost, but he quickly put these worries behind him.

"Alright, all of you, come over here and help hang Sera up!"

Katsura was shocked and joked: "Nana-chan, what you said is a bit evil."

Nanaya ignored her and helped Sera deal with the wire.

After such a long period of running-in, the crew of "Kara" has already developed a very strong tacit understanding, and they quickly fixed Sera on the steel cable.

When Sera was wearing the outermost yellow raincoat, Nanaya repeatedly reminded her: "Listen carefully, Sera. In everything, your safety is the top priority. If there is any problem in the air, you just give up the camera and immediately choose a posture that can ensure your safety. Do you understand? Don't be stubborn."

Although Nanaya is a complete madman in front of the camera, he is not a murderer after all, and he would not do anything to cause a real death for the camera. Just like he persuaded Adachi Satomi before, although this scene is somewhat dangerous, the safety factor is still guaranteed.

Sera himself was very confident: "Don't worry, there will be no problem, you just need to grasp the camera well."

Nanaya nodded carefully, he ran back to the camera and shouted to everyone with a megaphone: "All units in position, Action!"

Following Nanaya's order, the steel cable behind Sera began to move rapidly under the mechanical transmission, and she rushed directly to the rooftop of the opposite building.
