Regarding the question of whether I am an S or an M.
Nanaya said that he would never tell others such a deep secret.
As for Ori's concern about Lin Bao's ability to make movies.
"Don't worry, although the story of Shimosa Province will be produced by Lin Bao, the producer will be ours."
Nanaya explained to Shiki Matsuno and Ori.
"Do you think it's useful?"
"Of course." Nanaya replied affirmatively, "Iris has agreed that Shimotsuna Province will adopt the producer-centered system commonly used in Hollywood."
"Lin Bao is so happy about this? He is not like them..." Shiki Matsuno immediately expressed his doubt, "Are they planning to abolish him afterwards?"
"Of course not. We still have to do the special effects for the movie, so they don't dare to do anything tricky. But they have their own plans."
Nanaya probably guessed what a certain silver-haired lady was thinking.
Of course, Irisviel also discovered that special effects movies will be the mainstream trend of future commercial movies.
So she plans to use the "Shimotsu Province" project to strengthen her experience in making large-scale special effects commercial films.
However, Nanaya was not optimistic about Mrs. Iri's actions.
The development of the film industry in a region can be determined by the size of the regional film market.
Given the scale of Japanese films, there is simply no room for big special effects movies to survive.
You should know that the upper limit of the box office for a single movie in the Japanese market is about 30 billion yen, which is about 270 million US dollars when converted into US dollars.
It seems like a lot, but only Hayao Miyazaki can achieve such amazing data.
Without a sufficient market, even if Lin Bao had the people to produce the film, he would not be able to produce such a film independently.
But what will happen to Lin Bao and Japanese movies in the future has little to do with Nanaya.
For Nanaya now, as long as Lin Bao can guarantee the completion of the movie "Shimotsu Province", it will be enough.
"As for the director of Shimosa Province, Lin Bao recommended Emiya Kiritsugu to me." Nanaya said directly: "I have no objection in principle. After all, other Japanese directors will only be worse."
As part of the FGO series, "Shimotsu Province" naturally involves a lot of action scenes.
Among so many directors in Japan, Kiritsugu is the only one whose action scenes are acceptable to Nanaya.
Although there was a lot of dirty stuff between him and the other party, as a director, Nanaya still had some fairness.
Although many Japanese directors are not inferior to Hollywood directors in terms of drama, they are really not good at action scenes.
Kiritsugu Emiya's new version of "Kara no Kyoukai" is a Japanese action movie that left an impression on Nanaya - although Nanaya thinks Kiritsugu's version of "Kara no Kyoukai" is more like a horror movie.
However, although Nanaya spoke in a relaxed tone, Ori and Shiki's eyelids twitched when they heard this name.
"If Emiya Kiritsugu is the director, you will be in trouble if you are the producer, right?"
"Yes." Nanaya nodded in agreement, "So the producer job will be left to you, Ori."
"Hey hey?! Me??"
Ori's eyes widened, he stood up from the chair and pointed at himself.
"Yes, that's you."
Nanaya said to Ori earnestly, "Besides me, you are the only one who fully understands my film production standards, right?"
Ori looked to the right and caught a glimpse of a yellow-haired guy out of the corner of his eye.
"No need to look at the four seasons, this guy is no good at all."
Nanaya didn't give his gay friend any face at all.
"I understand..." Ori said while ruffling his short hair, "I'll do it."
Ori knows the importance of the FGO project in the hearts of his predecessors.
If it weren't for his hostile relationship with Kiritsugu, Nanaya would definitely supervise this project personally.
Ori said helplessly: "But I am not familiar with the Ryutani family, so I can only guarantee to convey your intentions to them, senior."
"Nothing, it's still early for the Shimousuke project to start." Nanaya said, "Just make the initial contact with Kiritsugu first."
Ori took out his notebook and looked at it before asking, "What do you think about the actors?
He thought for a moment and added, "Other characters are easy to talk about, but as for Musashi..."
Actors' pay is definitely not a problem. Japanese actresses can't be that expensive.
But the problem is finding the right actor to play the role.
Musashi is a different character from Artoria, despite being a major character in Shimotsukoku.
But she will not appear in other movies.
In this case, it is obviously not very cost-effective to train an actor specifically, just like Nanaya focused on training Lily and Rin back then.
However, if he wanted to use existing Japanese actresses, Nanaya would not be able to find a suitable one right away.
So, Nanaya looked at the others: "Do you have any ideas?"
Peter Jackson looked confused. He didn't know any Japanese actors, so how could he recommend any candidates?
"How about finding an actress who has a foundation in acting in swordplay movies?"
Shiki suggested.
Nanaya raised his middle finger and said, "No big deal. Do you want me to be sued by the Parents Association?!"
Japanese swordplay films are no longer as glorious as they were in the last century.
The so-called sword and halberd films have long been equated with restrictions.
In other words, the plot and content of a movie are no longer important, as long as it is pornographic and violent.
Therefore, most of the actresses who have worked in swordplay movies have had the experience of appearing nude.
As the son of the Toei family, Shiki Matsuno is certainly aware of this situation.
If Shiki's expression wasn't so serious, Nanaya would have thought he was joking with him on purpose.
Shiki thought for a moment and said, "How about our idols?"
"It's difficult." Nanaya shook his head. "Action scenes require training. It's not worth it for a role that only appears once."
Although it has not been officially confirmed whether Musashi will appear in other stories, even if he does appear in the future it will only be a cameo.
Of course, if there is really no candidate, it is not impossible to train an actor.
But Nanaya is not very good at choosing his own idol.
Washimine idols can be roughly divided into three categories.
One type is those who are given priority training, such as Lily or Rin.
These people all have their own uses, and the seven nights have their own uses, so naturally they won't be wasted on Musashi.
The other category is the foot-washing maids, and Nanaya doesn't feel comfortable letting them play the leading roles in movies.
Good looks alone are not enough.
The last category is the 48 series part-time workers brought by Yasushi Akimoto.
Among these girls, there are naturally some who are good-looking.
And Nanaya believes that both Akimoto Yasushi and the girls would be happy to play the leading roles in the movie.
But the girl who was personally trained by Akimoto Yasushi has basically been led astray by the fat man Aki.
If we look at them from the perspective of idols, they definitely deserve full marks.
But if you are an actor, you basically have to learn from scratch.
More importantly, Musashi is also an action character.
This is even more difficult for idol girls.
In terms of time and efficiency, it is very uneconomical for an idol to play Musashi.
After listening to Nanaya's explanation, Shiki Matsuno shrugged.
"In fact, we don't have to limit our focus to the Washimine department. At worst, we can hold a large-scale audition."
Nanaya nodded slightly, this was also a good idea.
Ori then interrupted and said, "I have an actor to recommend."
"Tell me about it."
Nanaya knew that Ori was his reliable junior brother in every aspect and would definitely not recommend any weird actors.
Ori immediately said, "How about letting Ms. Gakki play Musashi? Not only is she a Japanese actress, but she also has experience in Madoka Magica, and she also has a foundation in action scenes."
Nanaya raised an eyebrow but made no comment.
Ori continued, "Her acting skills are passable, and her action scenes are also excellent among Japanese actresses."
"The most important point is that her silly feeling is very similar to Musashi's character."
When Ori says Aragaki Yui is silly, she doesn't mean that she is stupid, but the characters played by Gakki on the screen have such a feeling.
For example, a blue-haired girl who was harmed by a pyramid scheme beast.
Nanaya thought about it and found that Gakki was indeed the most suitable one at the moment.
"Let's put it this way." Nanaya said to Ori, "You are in charge of this project anyway. Since you are optimistic about Gakki, after the crew of "Shimousaka Province" is established, invite her to audition for Musashi."
Ori said, "Okay."
··
The small meeting ended quickly.
The others went to prepare for their respective work, while Nanaya returned to the office.
He took the time to take a look at the first draft of the FGO prologue script that Ori had already completed.
Although Nanaya is still handling Oscar public relations, all specific matters are handled by Washimine Entertainment.
Nanaya only needs to meet the right person at the right time and say the right words.
Therefore, Nanaya focuses more of his energy on film and television projects.
Of course, the first draft of the prologue script did not satisfy Nanaya.
After making the annotations, Nanaya sent an email to the script team, saying that the script needed polishing.
Anyway, it's still early before the project officially starts, so the script can be revised more and there's no need to be in a hurry.
As the starting chapter of a huge series, Nanaya certainly hopes that the FGO prologue will leave a deep impression on people.
At the same time, Nanaya also paid attention to the completion progress of two Marvel movies currently in production - "Iron Man 2" and "Thor".
"Thor" is still in the process of filming and nothing can be seen yet.
Nanaya just paid attention to the filming progress of the crew and felt relieved when he found that it was not behind schedule.
However, "Iron Man 2" has basically been completed, and Nanaya briefly looked at the current results.
In terms of plot, this movie is not much different from what Nanaya remembers.
However, the scene where Black Widow infiltrated Hammer Industries was replaced by Pepper Potts driving the Iron Man armor to kill everyone.
Although this clip is equally exciting, Nanaya believes that the evaluation of "Iron Man 2" will definitely be worse than that of "Iron Man".
However, Nanaya did not propose any changes. After all, with the popularity of the previous film as a foundation, the commercial performance of the film will definitely not be too bad.
The failure of this movie's reputation is just the right opportunity to kick out Avi Arad, the current president of Marvel.
Nanaya did not miss the post-production of "Madoka Magica" and kept a close eye on the progress.
Because of the time difference between the United States and New Zealand, Nanaya now keeps his cell phone on 24 hours a day so that anyone in New Zealand can find him the first time if anything happens.
With this work rhythm, Nanaya welcomed the end of February.
This year's Hollywood awards season has finally reached its final climax - the 81st Academy Awards Ceremony!
