In addition to several FGO movies currently in production, the web drama version of FGO has also entered the early planning stages.
The director of the web drama was not recommended by anyone else, but Nanaya took the initiative to find him.
And the candidates are none other than the Russell brothers who will become famous in the future.
Nanaya took advantage of the gap between the two people after they finished directing the TV series "League of Losers" and invited them to become directors of the FGO web drama.
At this time, the two had not yet directed "Captain America 2" and were still small figures in the film industry.
So when they heard about the possibility of directing the super IP work Fate, they agreed without any hesitation.
However, the two did not take office immediately.
After all, the web drama project has not been established so quickly, and the actors have not yet been found.
So Nanaya first arranged for the two of them to join Lao Wen's "United as One" crew as assistant directors.
On the one hand, it allows the two people to get acquainted with the two leading actors, Inukai and Yumi.
On the other hand, it also allows these two to better understand some of the relevant settings of FGO.
After all, Nanaya hopes that the settings of FGO that he leads can be unified and consistent.
Therefore, every director involved in FGO must at least understand the settings.
Only in this way can FGO maintain the coherence of its story and continue to be successful.
Thinking of this, Nanaya took advantage of the light in the hall to take a look.
He found that apart from the guests, the theater was basically filled with young men and women.
Obviously, the previous "Prologue" has made FGO a trend among young fans.
What is a trend?
That is, when most of the young people collectively like something, then what they like will naturally become a trend.
As long as you can capture the hearts of these young audiences, you have basically mastered the audience of an era.
With the support of a generation of viewers, Nanaya believes that FGO will definitely go further.
When the picture lights up on the big screen, Nanaya believes that "The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon" will become a trend among young men and women just like the first part "Prologue".
Not just the young men and women in China, but the young men and women all over the world.
Although Nanaya did not attend the preview of "One Hundred Years War", according to Ori who had seen the movie.
"The Hundred Years' War" is a popcorn movie perfect for watching in winter.
It's not as intense as those summer movies, the images are dreamy and even a little poetic.
But the action scenes in the movie are also not ambiguous. Both the pictures and the action design are excellent and bold.
It's just that the pace of the movie is a bit slow, which is a common problem of Fat Peter's movies.
If it were competing with other movies during the summer season, this slow pace would have been a drag on "The Hundred Years War."
But it's November now, and there aren't as many blockbuster movies to choose from in the winter season as there are in the summer season.
In this way, this shortcoming of the movie is directly covered up.
The movie does not begin with the French Singularity.
Another feature of Peter Jackson's films is that he likes to use memories as the beginning of his films.
After the logos of Washimine Entertainment and Erque Studio flashed by, the first thing the audience saw was Chaldea.
The protagonist, Ritsuka Fujimaru, is lying on the bed and appears to be unconscious.
Just as the audience was curious about what was going on, the camera began to zoom out, revealing Mash and Dr. Roman sitting next to Ritsuka.
Through the conversation between the two people, the audience learned that the time of this shot was after the singularity in Fuyuki City.
Mash and Ritsuka have just returned to Chaldea. Ritsuka is in a coma and Mash is taking care of him.
This section is a general introduction to what happened before for those viewers who have not watched the "Prologue".
Of course, this is a very general statement.
After all, "One Hundred Years' War" is not a flashback chapter. If the audience wants to know more about the movie, they must watch the prequel.
And in this scene, Roman asks a question that the audience has been wanting to ask before.
"Mash, why do you call Ritsuka-kun senior?"
Mash's expression seemed to be hesitant, and she didn't seem to want to answer this question.
Just when Roman thought the other party would not answer and was about to stand up, Mash spoke.
"Senior is the most humane person I have ever met."
Mash gently stroked Ritsuka's hand that had the Command Seal on it.
"I don't feel any threat from him. There is absolutely no reason to be his enemy."
Roman understood Matthew's answer very well.
"Well~ It's almost impossible to find a good-for-nothing like him in Chaldea. Not to mention that the people you've been dealing with before were all researchers."
Mash could understand what Roman said, but the audience could not.
Currently, there is not much introduction to Mash's background in the FGO movie. The audience only knows that Mash is a girl as pure as snow.
But almost nothing is known about her upbringing and her identity background.
But from what Roman said that Mash had only come into contact with researchers before, it can be seen that Mash's previous life was definitely not a normal life.
Mash did not explain her past, but began to talk about her admiration for Ritsuka.
"In that sea of fire, Senior held my hand, and I could feel that he was afraid of the approaching death."
"But even so, he didn't despair. Instead, he was worried about me and smiled for me."
Having said that, Mash herself also showed a faint smile on her face.
"My death cannot be changed, but even so, he hopes to remain at peace until the moment of death comes."
Roman sipped his coffee without interrupting Mash.
"I once thought that when I accepted life as a human being, I must have been modeled after people like him."
After saying this, Mash felt much more relaxed.
"My predecessor in life——"
Roman stood up and placed his hands gently on Mash's shoulders to encourage the girl.
"Mash, you have a great senior. From now on, you and Ritsuka should work hard together."
The picture begins to become blurry, and Mash's inner voice serves as the background sound, telling the audience about her feelings.
[From now on…]
[Yes, until my life ceases to exist.]
[I can survive as your Servant...]
[For me, this is such a happy thing. ]
[So, Senior…]
"Mash!"
Mash opened her eyes.
"senior?"
Mash tilted her head and looked at Ritsuka with her clear eyes cutely.
"Mash, hurry up and get up, it's already dawn."
Ritsuka pulled Mash up from the bed.
Judging from the environment, the two people seemed to have spent the night in a severely damaged castle.
When the audience originally thought that the two were in some abandoned ruins, they followed the camera and saw that there were other people in the castle.
Among these people were French soldiers and civilians, and most of them were wounded.
But what attracted the audience's attention more was that these people exuded a desperate look of death.
Ritsuka and Mash didn't seem to be surprised by the people around them. They walked through the corridor and went up to a tower - this was the highest point of the castle.
"senior..."
Mash was very worried about Ritsuka's condition, but he didn't care at all. He held on to the city wall and looked into the distance.
"Is this... a singularity?"
Looking at the scenery in the distance, Lixiang muttered to himself.
The camera zoomed out as he looked away, and the audience saw the full view of the castle, which was more than half destroyed by the war.
There are also fields in the French countryside and villages burning with war in the distance.
There is a light theory moving slowly in the blue sky, symbolizing its identity as a singularity.
Then the title of the movie appeared on the screen - [The Saint Who Saves the Nation], symbolizing the official beginning of the movie.
"You really are lying with your eyes wide open." Lily complained in a low voice, "The subtitles are completely different from the content."
Having stayed in China for several months, he has more or less learned some Chinese words.
The English title of the movie clearly reads [The Saint Who Saves the Nation], but the Chinese subtitles below read [The Evil Dragon's Hundred Years of War].
"I wanted Fatty Peter to write a few more titles." Nanaya explained helplessly, "Unfortunately, it's too late."
Because the translated names of movies vary from country to country, if you want to redo the title screen, you need to add more than just the Chinese version.
In addition to the American version of "The Saint Who Saves the Nation" and the Chinese version of "The Hundred Years of War of the Evil Dragon", there are also French, German, Italian and so on.
Of course, there is also the British version which had to be renamed.
This time, the British naming still made Nanaya bleed. They directly changed "The Saint Who Saves the Nation" to "The Saint Who Saves the Nation"
Are you trying to sell cold medicine? Why are you using the whole Baijiahei?!
So after considering many factors, Nanaya had no choice but to give up.
However, for the next few films, Nanaya will consider releasing separate film titles for several important countries and regions.
"No, brother-in-law." Lily complained to Nanaya in a low voice, "Don't you think it's strange that the same movie has different names in different countries?"
"Coming from a British person like you, this kind of words are totally unconvincing!"
Nanaya flicked Lily's head through Sera.
Pop.
Nanaya's wrist was caught by Sera when he was about to retract it.
"That's enough, Nanaya." Sera said a little unhappy, "You disturbed my movie."
"Feel sorry."
Nanaya quickly withdrew his hand and focused on watching the movie.
Nanaya also wants to know how Peter Jackson made the Fate movie.
When the movie titles appeared, there were a few small black dots moving slowly in the distant sky.
At first the audience thought it was just a bird flying in the sky, but as the black spot got closer, everyone realized something was wrong.
"These aren't birds! They're flying dragons!!"
Giant dragons with ferocious faces flew across the sky, taking away the title of the movie [The Saint Who Saves the Nation].
Then, the dragons directly attacked an ordinary small village.
The war came to this small village without any warning.
No, this is not a war, but a simple massacre.
After just the first scene, Peter Jackson used the most intuitive shots to convey to the audience the suffering faced by the French people at that time.
