Although the preparations for filming "The First Emperor" were very complicated, the crew's filming efficiency improved a lot after they actually started.
As an experienced veteran actor, Uncle Ming is very efficient in his performances after getting used to all those "fancy little things" in Hollywood.
Perhaps he is used to playing the role of emperor, whenever Uncle Ming stands in front of the camera, his every move and gesture can make people feel the domineering aura of an emperor.
But Uncle Ming himself admitted that this was probably the most tiring performance he had ever experienced.
Not only do I have to sit in a chair early in the morning and let the makeup artist apply my makeup, but I also need to concentrate all my energy on every shot.
As an actor, Uncle Ming would normally not make such a low-level mistake as looking at the camera.
But this time there were too many cameras pointing at him, almost covering his entire body.
Moreover, under the operation of the machinery, these devices will move with Uncle Ming's body as the center point.
If you are not paying attention, your eyes will subconsciously follow the movement of one of the cameras.
This is a completely subconscious behavior of humans.
Therefore, every time he shoots, Uncle Ming needs to spend a lot of energy to ensure his perfect performance in front of the camera.
This is not an easy job for Uncle Ming, who is already in his 50s.
However, the literary drama of the First Emperor was a relatively easy job.
The following action scenes of the First Emperor are the real trouble.
Fortunately, Uncle Ming doesn't have to appear in all these scenes.
Face-changing technology can not only be used to make actors look younger, it is also completely feasible to replace the face of a stand-in.
Ordinary characters don't need such luxurious techniques, and the purpose can be achieved by simply editing the camera.
But the role of the First Emperor is different. Regardless of whether a stand-in is used or not, this character needs to use face-changing technology.
In that case, just use it freely.
When Nanaya makes a movie, he always spends the money wisely and gets the best effect.
Therefore, the action scenes of the First Emperor still use a similar shooting process as the literary scenes.
But the people who needed to put on makeup were not just Uncle Ming, but also the stand-ins for the First Emperor.
Just like in previous FZ, Nanaya will design a unique combat style for each servant.
At this time, the advantages of filming in China become apparent.
Chinese films may be a little mediocre in other aspects, but when it comes to filming fights between people in the most impressive way, China's martial arts directors are definitely ahead of the world.
This is the case for the Chinese film industry, which has already regressed. Thirty years ago, the actors themselves were the martial arts directors and could design their own fighting styles.
For the First Emperor's fighting style, Nanaya required it to be as elegant as an immortal.
In addition to flying in the sky, the First Emperor also wanted to use mercury in battle to highlight his immortal-like free-spirited demeanor.
Movies are not games, so Nanaya naturally doesn't need to pay attention to the balance of the card.
Today, the Fate series has become one of the best-selling action film series in film history.
Fate is enough to attract young audiences in all aspects, especially when the series has entered the new era of FGO.
Naturally, each film will bring a different visual experience to the audience, so every boss-level existence in the singularity needs to be designed completely new.
However, from the perspective of innovation, the FGO series is quite conservative.
Nanaya will not make any fundamentally subversive creations to this series.
Summon servants and pit ancient heroes against each other.
These are the basic settings of the Fate series, the most essential part, and the part that cannot be discarded.
Just like there must be those fixed settings in superhero movies.
Without these, it wouldn't be a Fate story.
But correspondingly, every Fate movie will give everyone a completely different experience in the action scenes.
In addition to maintaining the character image of handsome men and beautiful women, Nanaya will also incorporate other elements into it.
Although they are all ancient heroes, their fights will include gunfights, explosions and other methods that will escalate the action scenes.
For a movie that relies on special effects as its selling point, explosions certainly cannot solve all problems, but they can definitely solve most of them.
Check out the movie version of the Elementary School Death God next door.
Relying on the two unique skills of selling CP and explosive scenes, a theatrical version of what was originally just an ordinary perennial animation was elevated to a national-level animated film.
The box office is really like taking medicine, getting higher every year.
To put it bluntly, movies are a relatively cheap form of entertainment.
Most of the audience goes there just for the pure excitement.
As long as the fighting is exciting and the movie plot has no major flaws, the audience will buy into it.
Nanaya stayed in the Qin Palace crew for nearly half a year, and during this time he devoted almost all his energy to the filming of the movie.
Although there were various minor problems in the process, they were solved quite easily with Nanaya's handling.
It was not until November that Nanaya left the Qin Palace.
It's not because he has already finished filming the movie, he's not that quick-witted.
November is the day when the second movie of the FGO series, "The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon", will be released.
Nanaya will also carry out related publicity.
However, Nanaya did not leave the Heavenly Kingdom. After coming out of the Qin Palace, he went directly to the Demon City.
"The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon" will hold its premiere simultaneously in three cities: Los Angeles, Paris and Shanghai.
The public statement was that Nanaya attached great importance to the Chinese market, so he, as the chief producer, and the leading actress Lily Wetting attended the premiere in Shanghai.
But it was actually just seven nights and he didn't want to fly to the United States just to attend a premiere and then fly back.
If it was a movie directed by myself, it would be okay to go through this trouble.
But in "The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon", he was just the producer.
So Nanaya, who was too lazy to bother, simply held the premiere in China.
No one except Ori stood up to criticize Nanaya's lazy behavior.
Unfortunately, Ori didn't have this opportunity this time.
Nanaya directly dropped him off in Paris to attend the premiere there.
"I think the French government must be very sorry that you were unable to go to Paris for seven nights."
In the special car to the Magic City, Lily teased Nanaya who was beside her.
"Am I going there to die?" Nanaya rolled his eyes.
"Hey, do you have any comment?" Xiao Jie Mo, who was sitting in the back row, asked Nanaya, "Director Nanaya, do you hate France?"
Nanaya shook his head: "I don't hate France as a country, but I don't like the French government's greed for money."
In recent years, the French government's tax on the rich has become more and more stringent, and it has even started a business of taking advantage of passing geese.
As long as wealthy people like Nanaye set foot on French soil, it would be regarded as a business activity and then taxed.
Moreover, the amount of tax collected in France is not based on your assets in France, but on your total assets.
For people like Nanaya and Shion who are on the Forbes list, the French government hopes to squeeze every drop of blood out of them.
This makes France the least popular country in the world among the rich.
Nanaya estimated that the possibility of him traveling to France in his lifetime was basically zero.
Shion also has no good feelings towards this country. Every time she visits Washimine's European branches, she will not stay in France.
Even if we need to contact the French branch, we will mainly use video conferencing.
This is also why, although Paris was one of the three major premieres of "One Hundred Years' War", the crew had the least number of people going there.
Any celebrity with a little bit of status would stay away from Paris.
So there was a reason why Nanaya sent Ori to Paris.
Although Ori himself is the eldest son of a wealthy family - although he has always been raised as a daughter, he himself is not particularly rich.
The assets of the Ryougi family are basically in the hands of his parents and have nothing to do with Ori.
Although Ori himself is indeed a successful white-collar worker, he is far from being as rich as Nanaya.
For the French government, Ori is just a small thing at best.
The money they extorted from him was not even as much as Washimine Entertainment spent on the premiere in Paris.
For the French government, what they care about are big figures like Nanaya and Shion.
If even someone of Ryougi Ori's level has to scrape out two taels of oil, then no one would dare to go to Paris.
"Hmm...it sounds a bit tragic."
Hearing what Nanaya said, Xiao Jie Mo said with a look of regret: "Doesn't that mean that Director Nanaya, you won't be able to travel to France in the future?"
"There's nothing fun in France." Lily pouted, "If Nanaya really wants to go to Europe, he will definitely go to London."
Xiao Jie Mo curled his lips and said, "What's so good about London? Are you going there to breathe in the PM2.5?"
"Paris isn't much better, is it? It's French territory." Lily retorted unyieldingly.
Although Lily played Jeanne d'Arc in Fate and Madoka Magica, she herself does not have much affection for France.
Little Mustard covered her face and mouth and laughed sarcastically: "Don't you think it's totally incompatible with fashion, so you are so resistant to France? Maybe you know very well that you and the Eiffel Tower are completely different styles."
"Who said that! I did take promotional photos when I was in FSN!" Lily bared her canine teeth. "When I used the Tokyo Metropolitan Railway as a background, you didn't even know where I was! Who cares about that French product?"
"You two are at it again..."
Nanaya shook his head slowly and let out a sigh.
Qin Jue, who was sitting next to Xiao Jie Mo, also showed a helpless expression, and she looked at Nanaya.
They both saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
I don't know since when, Lily and Xiao Jie Mo have been particularly fond of bickering.
The two of them often argue about a certain issue and neither of them is willing to give in.
And every time the two of them quarreled, they would drag Nanaya into it and ask him to make a judgment on what they were arguing about.
But every time Nanaya or Qin Jue intervened in their quarrel in advance, they would be disliked for meddling in other people's affairs.
I don't know what these two girls are thinking.
Nanaya only felt that he saw the shadows of Rin and Luvia in these two people.
As for when these two people started to develop this kind of relationship.
It seems that Xiao Jie Mo has become familiar with Lily and is no longer afraid of her because of her status as a big star.
[What is this? Is it the rhythm of love-hate relationship after getting to know each other well? ]
Nanaya felt that there were really few normal girls around him.
