"That's really a pity..."
Yumi said with a disappointed look on her face.
"Yumi, you also need to adapt to other directors' filming styles." Nanaya smiled and rubbed the little girl's head. "You are a well-known actor now, and you can't follow me to film for the rest of your life."
"Puff, puff~ But now, brother-in-law, aren't you the best director?"
Hearing this, Lily stuck out her tongue at Nanaya.
"You…"
Nanaya shook his head and said nothing more.
Ori rolled his eyes at Nanaya and said, "Compared to their adaptation problems, have you decided on the director of this movie, Senior?"
"Well... not yet."
Nanaya sighed.
It is easy to find actors, but it is difficult to find directors.
The story outline of FGO is basically based on linear narrative. In other words, Nanaya needs a director who can tell a good story.
Although directors like Nolan and Guy Ritchie who follow a non-linear narrative style are quite famous, they are not suitable for such subject matter.
This is also the reason why Nanaya chose Peter Jackson. Although the pace of Peter Jackson's movies has always been slow, the storytelling level is absolutely impeccable.
Whether it is telling a simple story in a complicated way, or telling a complicated story in a simple way, this is not a problem for Peter Jackson.
"Let's try recruiting from outside first." Nanaya finally said, "If that doesn't work, we can just look for one among Marvel directors."
Marvel's directors are all commercial directors. If we let them shoot, at least it won't turn into an art-house movie.
The question is whether they can master the style of FGO.
At least Taika Waititi and James Gunn, the two comedy actors, definitely can't do it.
"I hope he's a good director to talk to, otherwise you, the best actress, will be embarrassed in public."
When Lily said this, she glanced at Yumi out of the corner of her eye, obviously speaking in a sarcastic way.
"No matter what kind of director it is, Yumi will work hard!"
Yumi clenched her fists and answered with a firm look on her face.
"Well, do your best."
Nanaya nodded with a smile.
"whispering sound."
Lily could only turn her unhappiness into appetite and eat the beef in front of her with big mouthfuls.
"By the way, Yumi."
Nanaya thought of something, and he said to Yumi: "I will shoot a set of short videos for you in a few days, don't forget it."
"OK."
Yumi nodded obediently.
"Short video? What kind of work?" Lily leaned forward curiously, "Brother-in-law, are you going to give Yumi some special treatment?"
"About the summoning appearance in the mobile game of "Madoka Magica"."
Nanaya pushed Lily's head back.
The general framework of the "Puella Magi Madoka Magica" mobile game has been completed and even a demo has been submitted.
The overall framework of the game is not much different from the "Magic Record" in Nanaya's previous life. Except for some optimizations in the detailed operations, there is basically no big difference.
Therefore, the entire project entered the card-making stage. Yumi, one of the five colors, needed to shoot a summoning video of the character card when it was summoned.
As for the character dubbing in the game, Nanaya has no plans to let Yumi do it herself.
I don't know if it's because of the curse of the profession, but when actors do voice acting, there's always an indescribable sense of disharmony.
Maybe it's because the actors couldn't get into the mood in the recording studio, or maybe there was a problem with the actors' emotional development.
In short, considering the dubbing effect, it would be more appropriate to let voice actors imitate the actors' voices rather than forcing the actors to dub.
Therefore, all Nanaya needs Yumi to do is to shoot a short video, which will be the summoning animation when the player draws the Homura Akemi card in the game.
Nanaya played "Magic Record" for a period of time in his previous life, and he was deeply impressed by the summoning animation of the magical girls in the game.
Especially the summoning animation of the Five-Colored Sentai in the main story, which can almost be said to be perfect.
As a rare SSR card, its class and gorgeousness are off the charts.
But I don't know if it's because of insufficient funds for the production team, except for the Five Colors Team, the protagonist of the game and a few other characters.
Most of the magical girls' summoning animations are very simple.
It's okay if you say that the summoning animations of those low-star cards are simple, but it's a bit too much that the animation duration of those SSR cards is no more than 30 seconds.
You should know that the kimono card summoning animation of his daughter Sayaka Miki is 1 minute and 30 seconds long.
Sure enough, blue hair is blue hair, and she is his favorite daughter wherever she goes.
However, this time, such a situation will naturally not occur on Nanaya's side.
As a guinea pig for FGO, the role of the mobile game "Madoka Magica" is more to allow [See Moon] to learn how to operate a pay-to-win mobile game.
Therefore, for the "Madoka Magica" mobile game in this world, the problem of financial constraints naturally does not exist.
In this case, all magical girls' summoning animations will be carefully designed.
Of course, he would not ask the mobile game operation team to make the summoning time of each magical girl card the same.
Except for the protagonist, the summoning time and sophistication of most cards are linked to their rarity.
As a veteran mobile game player in his previous life, Nanaya certainly knows what drives players to spend money to draw high-level cards.
The extremely high intensity is secondary, it's more about the love for the character itself.
This kind of liking does not include characters that have the bonus of the original work, such as Saber in Fate and the Five Colors Sentai in Madoka Magica.
Most players go for the gorgeous card designs.
To put it bluntly, the player is "craving" for the character's body.
This greed does not only refer to female card faces, but also to handsome male card faces.
Of course, the FGO mobile game card design is different from other games.
Because of the blessing of ancient heroes, some servant cards also have special blessings for some players to cheat krypton.
The mobile game of "Madoka Magica" is not so lucky, after all, all the characters are basically purely original characters.
This kind of out-of-circle bonus does not exist.
In this case, what attracts players to play the mobile game "Madoka Magica" is all concentrated on the original five-color team and their various extension cards.
It's just like FGO always releases some extension cards of Altria from time to time to cheat players into spending money.
The biggest attraction of the "Madoka Magica" mobile game is naturally the cards related to the five-color team.
Not to mention that other characters are also outstanding. Before playing the game, those players only knew their names and saw a few pictures.
For the original characters that come with the game, players must at least play them before they can understand them.
But the important task of making players become potential users in the first step should naturally be completed by the character in this article.
This is also why even though FGO has been operating for 5 years, the icon is still the woman who has never officially appeared in the main storyline.
Although she has used several aliases before, her real self has never appeared in the show, right?
Therefore, for the Madoka Magica mobile game, no matter what the protagonists of the story are like, the most iconic one is still the five round-faced people at the beginning.
This is how the "Magic Record" was done in the previous life, and Nanaya plans to do the same.
He will even do something more amazing - he will personally shoot the summoning video of the Five Colors Team.
The transformation scene shot by the original film director can be the biggest selling point of the mobile game.
"Hmm... my brother-in-law is so cunning."
Lily fiddled with her legs and said somewhat dissatisfiedly: "I also want my brother-in-law to shoot a music video for me."
"This is not an MV at all..." Nanaya snorted coldly.
"And I remember you should have a role too, don't worry."
Lily asked speechlessly, "Could it be Jeanne d'Arc?"
"Yes."
Nanaya admitted: "It's also necessary to take advantage of the popularity in disguise."
"So I'll be wearing Joan of Arc's clothes from The Hundred Years' War?"
"That won't happen," Nanaya replied, "The armor design will still be changed, especially the pattern on the flag, which will be changed to look like QB."
"Wouldn't that be even worse?"
Lily's face turned a little dark. Of course she knew what QB in "Madoka Magica" was.
"Will they wait until 'The Hundred Years' War' is released to release this character?"
"How is that possible?"
Nanaya said, waving his hands.
The life cycle of mobile games is generally short, although "Magic Record" has been operating since its launch until the Seven Nights Travel without going bankrupt.
And in this life, the "Madoka Magica" IP is even blessed with the title of box office champion in film history.
However, the current smartphone penetration rate is far lower than it was after 2015.
In addition, it is also unknown whether Japanese-style card-drawing games like "Magic Record", which require both krypton and liver, can be accepted by smartphone users at this stage.
After all, when "Magic Record" was released, Japanese mobile games already had a very good development environment.
Everyone has expectations for both the market price and the probability of drawing cards.
But now, such games do exist, but they have not occupied the mainstream of current mobile games.
From this perspective, the "Puella Magi Madoka" mobile game is undoubtedly a pioneer in the current market.
This identity naturally requires relying on a strong IP to seize a part of the market.
But on the other hand, whether high-intensity krypton gold can be accepted by players can only be decided by the market.
All Nanaya can do is make "Madoka Magica" look conscientious enough.
But having experienced the wave of mobile games, he cannot guarantee that his conscience will not be misinterpreted by players.
After all, players these days don't understand the counting unit of "single".
Therefore, in order to ensure maximum profits, Nanaya does not plan to announce "Magical Girl Jeanne d'Arc" until the end of next year when "Hundred Years War" is launched.
Nanaya plans to use Lily's popularity to make this event a major event in the early stage of the game operation.
"So, your Jeanne d'Arc character recording shouldn't be too much later than Yumi's." Nanaya answered Lily, "Probably only a few months later."
"That's also a few months at night..."
Lily poked the pieces of meat on the plate with her chopsticks, looking a little unhappy.
He had previously "sacrificed himself to feed the tiger" and used his own body as bait.
Lily thought she could greatly narrow the gap between herself and Nanaya.
As a result, because of her overly explicit behavior, Lily found that Nanaya had become more wary of her recently.
[This won't work... We must find a way to create opportunities. ]
Lily glanced at the beer glass in her hand and slowly came up with a plan.
Although pretending to be drunk is a very old-fashioned plot, it is really effective!
