Nanaya thought it would be better to find something for Elle to do as soon as possible, otherwise if this girl had nothing to do all the time, something really would happen to her.
Since Nanaya is ready to train Elle, he must give her a project to practice on.
Originally, Nanaya thought about assigning her tasks after arriving in Los Angeles, but seeing the situation between Elle and Shion, who knows what kind of trouble will arise if he continues to let her go like this.
As for why the task of "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" was given to Elle, Nanaya also had his own considerations.
First of all, fate projects cannot be given. Nanaya is not willing to give such core projects to newcomers for training.
And for Fate Zero's spin-off drama "Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files", Nanaya will let Elle join the screenwriter team, but she will definitely not be the first screenwriter.
Nanaya has already packaged the entire "Kara no Kyoukai" project and sold it to Lin Bao.
So after all the calculations, the only projects left for Elle are "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" besides "Tsuki-hime".
Of course, Elle can also come up with a story based on her own ideas, but without a reference, it would be difficult for Nanaya to judge Elle's current writing standards.
Compared to "Tsuki-hime", Nanaya thinks "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" would be more suitable for Elle.
The little girl has never been in love, so it's a bit difficult to ask her to write a love story.
In comparison, although "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" tells the story of two women and one man living together, there is not much love in it.
It is completely different from the stomach-warming works like "White Album 2".
No wonder some people say that if you feel uncomfortable playing "White Album 2", then go play "Mahoutsukai no Yoru", which can effectively relieve stomach pain.
Although the elegant and fresh writing style of "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" has been loved by many people, and from the perspective of Type-Moon design, "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" is indeed a very important part of constructing the world view.
But from a commercial perspective, the commercial value of "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" is really the most mediocre one among the Type-Moon series works.
Of course Nanaya thinks this is also related to Mushroom's Aoko-con.
After all, as long as he is not famous, no one will compete with him for Aoko.
Cough cough.
In short, in Nanaye's priority, "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" has always been an optional existence.
After all, there are obviously many things that can be done later, but his brother Jun just dug a hole and didn't fill it, and then went on to remake "Tsuki-hime".
Then the remake of "Tsuki-hime" replaced "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" and became the new generation of the king of release delays.
Ultimately, it’s because it’s not profitable, and the galgame genre has long passed its most popular time.
If "Tsuki-hime" could generate hundreds of millions of monthly spending like FGO, Mushroom would definitely be eager to bring out the finished product instead of fooling people with the message "We are really working on it" like he is doing now.
After handing over the outline of "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" to Elle, Nanaya no longer had any intention of interfering in it.
Anyway, this project is not a high priority, so even if Nanaya is not satisfied with the finished product that Elle brings out, he has enough time for her to slowly modify it.
But seeing Elle's serious look as if she had accepted the task, she obviously thought that Nanaya had given her a very important task.
"Brother-in-law, don't worry, I will definitely complete this task!"
There was a flame of fighting spirit in Elle's eyes, and she loudly swore an oath to Nanaya.
[Maybe it's because the setting is the same as Fate's. 】
Nanaya thought so, since the little girl was enthusiastic about work, Nanaya didn't want to spoil her fun openly.
"Anyway, just do your best." Nanaya scratched his hair, then he looked at Johnson and Hiddleston who had already finished eating, "You two come here, I'll tell you how to shoot the scene this afternoon."
After all the boys left, Shion whispered to Elle who was humming a little tune: "You are so happy when someone gives you a piece of meat and bone, and you still say you are not interested in them?"
"Shut up!"
————————————————————————
For the afternoon scenes, Nanaya was going to film the battle between the Macedonian soldiers and the army.
Because of the influence of the sea monster summoned by the marshal, the army whose San values dropped sharply began to attack indiscriminately.
In order to prevent innocent civilians from being harmed, Rider opened the barrier to pull the human army and the sea demons into his battlefield to fight.
This scene will have a strong magical flavor. After all, it is rare to see a battle between spears and planes and tanks, and in the end the spearmen win.
Wait a minute, there seems to be "Avatar".
Then just pretend nothing was said.
Because this scene is a group battle scene, Iskandar, who dominated the shot in the morning, will become a background board.
In this scene, Nanaya hopes to show the military qualities displayed by the emperor as a military commander when facing enemies he has never seen before.
For such large-scale war scenes, Nanaya and old man Li Tongchen will divide the work and cooperate with each other.
Nanaya was responsible for the coordination of the entire battle scene and the manipulation of human military equipment, while Li Tongchen was responsible for designing the details of the fight between the two sides.
This is to make the battle look more like a battle, rather than like two people playing a game together.
Nanaya likes Nolan's Batman trilogy very much, but even so he has to admit that the fighting scenes in the trilogy are the weak point of the series.
The one-on-one fights are fine, with the shaky short shots and fast editing making up for a lot of the shortcomings, but once more people are fighting the shortcomings of the movie become apparent.
The final group battle between police and terrorists in the third film, "The Dark Knight Rises", can probably be regarded as the dark history of the entire series.
The first time you watch it, the audience will focus on the protagonists Batman and Bane, so the feeling will not be very obvious.
But if you look closely, you will see that many of the extras are slackers. They are definitely not slacking off, but their movements don't look like they are fighting.
These minor shortcomings do not affect the greatness of the Batman trilogy, but as a director, Nanaya himself certainly hopes that his movie can be as perfect as possible.
Especially for Nanaya, the scene now is not a battle of equal equipment, but a battle between cold weapons and hot weapons.
On the set of the White Desert Director's Experimental Field, the battlefield for both sides has been basically set up, waiting for Nanaya's order to start fighting.
Nanaya stood on the platform where camera No. 3 was located and observed the layout of the set. He turned his head and asked the script supervisor behind him, "Is the explosion team ready?"
"OK."
"Have you told the actors everything?" Nanaya glanced at the explosive fuses being set up around him, "I don't want any accidents to happen during filming."
"Don't worry, I've explained everything to them." The stage manager replied in a low voice, "There won't be any problem with the positioning."
"Well, I hope they don't run around."
The explosion scene in the afternoon was much larger than the one in the morning. In comparison, the morning scene was just a small one.
This made Nanaya a little worried about the quality of his actors. He was not sure whether these extras would be scared by the explosion and run around, which would become very troublesome.
Not only are there military tanks at the scene, but there will also be planes flying over. In such a situation, it is very difficult to predict what problems the actors will encounter.
“Fortunately, some of the war details can be solved with CGI. But it is also a challenge.”
Nanaya rubbed his face, this was his first time shooting a war scene with modern equipment. Although the equipment were all weapons from the 1990s, this kind of opportunity was really rare.
"It's not just the actors, other staff members also need to communicate well."
The scale of this explosion scene is more massive than any of Nanaya's previous ones, and it's almost like the one on Michael Bay's set next door. In such a situation, his own filming crew might also be frightened and panicked.
If an actor has a problem with his positioning, as long as it is not a major mistake, Nanaya can make it disappear in the post-production editing.
But if there is a problem with the filming team and the picture is not ideal, the price of retaking the shot will be more than tens of thousands of dollars.
After getting off the photo booth, Nanaya found Johnson after going around two tanks.
"Dwayne."
He waved over there and the other party immediately ran over.
"Director Kiryu?"
"The scale of this explosion will be bigger than you think." Nanaya warned, "I need you to act calmly and calmly like a master, is that okay?"
"Director, are you looking down on me?"
There was a hint of embarrassment on Johnson's face. Was he someone who could be frightened so easily?
That little bottom of my CP is it!
"No, I just hope I can be mentally prepared." Nanaya patted him on the back and said, "Anyway, just follow the script. You don't need to worry about other things, especially safety. We have already done countless rehearsals."
After instructing his actors, Nanaya came to the center of the set, where many tanks had been deployed.
However, these tanks are not all real ones. There are red circles and crosses on some tanks that cannot be captured by the camera. These tanks are just models that can only be viewed. They will face the fate of being blown up during the subsequent filming.
What?
How could a good tank be destroyed by cold weapons?
Can't the gun be stuck on the fuel tank?
Isn't it okay if the cold weapon explodes after being destroyed?
Can't the Macedonian soldiers have their own explosive buff?
Nanaya said that I am the director and I have the final say.
Nanaya had anticipated that this battle would be extremely brutal. Although each of the soldiers under Iskandar was an independent servant, not all of them were as famous as their monarch.
In the Type-Moon world where mystery and legend (and nonsense) are equal to strength, Iskandar's army is large and powerful as a Servant, but it is not invincible.
Although the human army was annihilated, Iskandar's army also suffered casualties.
However, the strength of the servants is unquestionable. The army will have a very hard time fighting, and coupled with the crazy drop in san values, all these indicate that this will be a brutal battle.
After completing all the inspections, Nanaya returned to his seat behind the monitor and began to wait for the final preparations to be completed.
Explosion scenes are always the most expensive and time-consuming scenes, so there is only one chance to shoot them. Nanaya hopes to achieve the effect he wants.
"Attention all departments, this will officially begin in 10 minutes."
