Because of Kujo Fuu's invisible words, the subsequent filming became difficult.
Because every time there is a scene involving Red Hare, some people would laugh because they would think of Kujo Fuu's words.
In the end, Captain Chu himself would often laugh while reciting the lines.
"Cut."
After countless NGs, Nanaya finally said something that made everyone feel relieved.
"This one's passed."
"Finally passed."
Kujo Fuu patted his chest and said, "My jaw is about to dislocate from laughing."
Shion hit her on the butt with the staff.
"How dare you say that! If you hadn't mentioned it, we wouldn't have been laughing the whole time!"
"Director, my boss is bullying me!"
Kujo Fuu shouted at Nanaya.
"Bully as hard as you can. Shion did a great job!"
Nanaya gave a thumbs up and praised his wife.
"How can this be?"
Kujo Fuu turned gray.
Nanaya ignored her. He looked at his watch and then announced, "Take a half-hour break and then shoot the next one."
Laughter is actually a very tiring thing. After all that effort, the actors are very tired.
So Nanaya decided to stop for a while and let everyone take a break.
However, Nanaya himself did not rest immediately.
He stood up from behind the director's monitor and stretched his body a little.
Then he sat back in his seat and planned his next scene.
The number of characters in "Da Qin" is very large, far more than in "Prologue" and "Madoka Magica".
And unlike FZ, there are only a few people in one scene.
In the later part of "Da Qin", there are a large number of scenes where multiple characters appear at the same time.
With so many roles, it becomes a difficult problem to choose between each role.
For him as a director, besides turning the contents of the script into pictures.
Balancing the roles of the actors in each shot is also a very important task.
It is necessary to highlight the status of Gudako and Musashi as the absolute protagonists, but at the same time, the other people on the Chaldea side cannot become passing soy sauces.
If they become just supporting roles, adding these characters will become meaningless.
For example, the Leonardo da Vinci played by Shion, it's fine to just briefly appear in the "Prologue" because it's just a prelude.
But it is absolutely not possible to do so in "Da Qin", otherwise the character of Da Vinci could have learned from Romani and stood firm as a mountain in Chaldea.
But balancing the roles is not an easy task.
Kujo Fuu and Gakki are okay, no one will question that they are the absolute protagonists.
As the most prominent actress in the team, Lily's role is a bit tasteless, but it is not a problem at all.
At worst, we can increase her action scenes and position her as a thug in "Da Qin".
Anyway, I will make this character more full-bodied when I release "Camelot" in the future.
But the roles of the remaining actors need to be balanced.
It can be said that for such a big-budget movie, the scenes where multiple characters appear at the same time, whether it is the shots or the lines, were all carefully designed by Nanaya with a lot of brain cells.
However, compared to those small directors, Nanaya's level is obviously higher.
At least he only needs to consider aspects such as character design and the audience's viewing experience.
The star's status has no effect on Nanaya at all.
Anyway, there is no actor in the entire crew who can argue with me.
Shion does have the capital, but she unconditionally supports Nanaya in making the movie.
"Hmm... As for the battle part..."
Nanaya recorded the relevant information in his notebook, writing down his ideas bit by bit.
He has never been a god, and his movies have never been perfect in one go.
After repeated consideration and multiple revisions, the final draft is completed. This is basically the process he goes through every time he makes a movie.
However, Nanaya was not a workaholic. After writing down his thoughts in a notebook, he left his work area.
There is still some time before the break is over, so Nanaya plans to give himself a break as well.
He walked to the actors' lounge and sat down on a chair.
Lily happened to be sitting next to him, so while drinking water, Nanaya couldn't help but ask, "How did you trick your sister into giving you that motorcycle?"
"What do you mean by lying? I just borrowed it!"
Lily, who was fixing her hair, was unhappy and said to Nanaya in dissatisfaction.
"Why?"
Lily played with her ponytail with her fingers and replied, "I said that the traffic in China is very congested, and motorcycles are more convenient than cars."
"…"
Driving in China is indeed very inconvenient, and Nanaya, who has lived here for decades, is the most qualified person to speak on this.
But Nanaya also knew that traffic congestion in China was limited to only a few cities.
Other places may be busier during rush hours in the morning and evening, but it is definitely not congested.
In Nanaya's opinion, Lily just found an excuse to trick the motorcycle out of her sister.
Lily has been eyeing that motorcycle for a long time.
But Lily is lucky. You know, many big cities in China have banned motorcycles a long time ago.
Only the administrative area where the film and television city is located has not yet started to implement it.
Otherwise, someone like Lily would be caught by the traffic police if she rode a bike on the road.
"Hey, Nanaya."
Lily was afraid that Nanaya would continue to deprive her of the right to ride a motorcycle, so she quickly changed the subject.
She pointed at Xiao Jie Mo in the distance and said, "Is it okay for that woman to dress like that? I remember that China is very strict about the scale of movies."
"It's okay. I know what I'm doing."
Nanaya didn't care at all.
In fact, as long as you don't make any actions that are designed to affect the plot, and just simply show off your body, there will be no problem at all.
Nanaya had watched at least hundreds of movies in China in his previous life, so he had a pretty good understanding of Chinese's censorship.
When it comes to the specific details, Nanaya is naturally not very sure, after all, the Chinese government's censorship is sometimes quite vague.
But Nanaya thought he had a very good grasp of some general directions.
Yu Ji's clothes were indeed a bit revealing, but not to the point of being immoral.
Nanaya had already asked the MPAA about this outfit. As long as Yu Ji didn't wear it intentionally to seduce men, it would fully meet the PG-13 standard.
Basically, movies that pass the PG-13 line in North America will most likely not be cut in China due to their scale.
As for asking Yu Ji to seduce him, Nanaya certainly wouldn't do that.
He was shooting commercial action special effects films, not the low-budget films made by two or three people back home in Japan.
As for the control of scale in this regard, you can actually refer to the "Fast and Furious" series that Nanaya has mentioned several times.
There is always a shortage of sexy beauties in this movie, and there are even several scenes where beauties shake their buttocks in front of the camera.
However, the film is still rated PG-13 in North America, and it was not passively censored when it was introduced to China.
The reason is very simple. Those swimsuit beauties are NPC props in the movie that can only be seen but not touched, and they are not involved in the specific plot.
The same logic applies to Yu Ji. As long as Yu Ji is not shown wearing this outfit and riding Xiang Yu to dance on a pole, the style of the clothing will not be affected.
Of course, Yu Ji's cool outfit will definitely attract many young people into the cinema, which can be considered a small selling point of the movie.
Nanaya never shy away from such things.
Otherwise, why did he design a miniskirt for Medusa when he was filming FSN? Wouldn't it be better to just make her wear full armor like Saber, without any exposed parts?
"Well...then why can't I wear this kind of clothes?" Lily pulled Nanaya's arm and continued to ask.
Nanaya didn't say anything, but just looked at Lily's flat figure silently.
"Hello!!"
Lily opened her mouth and wanted to bite Nanaya's arm.
"Forget it this time. Next time you play Mordred, I'll design you a set of clothes that are not armor."
Nanaya really likes Xiao Mo's spiritual clothing named [Memories of Trifas]. It's not impossible to find one for Lily to try next time.
Shion came over at this time. She sat on the other side of Nanaya and said, "Nanaya, are you planning to secretly take Lily out for a delicious meal again?"
"What do you mean again?"
The corner of Nanaya's eye twitched unconsciously.
Shion opened her folding fan with a snap.
"Didn't you take Lily to eat hot pot when you came here in June? Are you planning to go for barbecue this time?"
Lily was good at taking advantage of the situation. She immediately said, "Nanaya, take me to have barbecue today!"
"Just let me finish the scene first."
Nanaya hit Lily on the head with his knife.
"And, Shion, the same goes for you." Nanaya turned to the other side, "Every time you're in front of the camera, you subconsciously overexert yourself. Remember to be a little more restrained..."
"Got it, my great director."
Shion naturally knew her weaknesses in acting, but this habit was not something she could change just by wanting to.
If it were really that easy, Leonardo would have gotten rid of his habit of roaring long ago.
Moreover, Shion's main job is not an actor, so naturally she cannot devote all her energy to the movie.
But compared to a few years ago, Shion is much better now.
At the beginning, Shion and Nanaya were ridiculed by film critics as the "Washimine extras duo".
But now, no one mentions this nickname anymore.
After a half-hour break, shooting began again.
Since the filming of the treasure hall scenes has already begun, Nanaya naturally plans to finish it all at once.
At noon, Nanaya had lunch with Lily, Shion and Ori.
But Nanaya didn't take them to eat Chinese barbecue.
Although Nanaya himself doesn't care, some of his companions may not be able to get used to the barbecue stalls in China.
Therefore, Nanaya could only find a restaurant serving Jiangnan cuisine to treat others to dinner.
Lily was not very happy about having Shion and Ori as two light bulbs, and made it clear to Nanaya that this time it didn't count.
While eating, Ori brought Nanaya some good news.
After several months of hard work, the Washimine post-production special effects team finally mastered the [special effects makeup] technology.
Although it is not clear how practical this technology is in actual shooting, at least in theory it can meet Nanaya's requirements.
This was undoubtedly happy news for Nanaya.
