Although the previous bathroom attack was embarrassing, it also served as a wake-up call for Nanaya.
This time it was the other party who forced me to "shoot" her, but what should I do if someone wants to shoot me next time?
In this country where bullets are sold by the pound, the sound of free gunfire never stops for a single day.
That's why Nanaya asked Ziyuan to help him find a few bodyguards for self-defense, so that he wouldn't really die in some inexplicable attack in the future.
The cost of hiring a bodyguard is certainly not cheap, but this amount of money is nothing to Nanaya now.
Although Nanaya's current assets are all stocks, the profit share from Fate's various peripheral products is enough for him to squander.
Apart from anything else, the profits from the Fate series of mugs alone are more than enough to pay the bodyguards' commissions.
Of course, it's not possible to get a bodyguard so quickly. Nanaya, who is a little afraid of death, hides in the FZ crew in Hollywood.
There are special security guards in the crew, and outsiders are not allowed to enter, which makes Nanaya feel safe.
However, Nanaya would not directly say that he was afraid, but would instead say that he was fully committed to his work.
In fact, the FZ crew has been in operation all the time. Uncle Li has been leading the stunt actors to shoot some special action scenes that do not require the protagonist to show his face.
Nanaya's joining this time can just solve some of Kiritsugu Emiya's one-man show, as well as other shots that don't require the protagonists.
Of course, Nanaya was not the only main actor who joined the crew. Ori, Illya, and Sakai Masato also returned to the studio.
The crew's promotional activities in the Japanese market have ended, and there is no need for crew members to personally participate in subsequent activities.
This is also the normal situation for promotion in non-Hollywood areas. It is enough for the actors to participate in one or two events in the local area, and other activities are the business of local film distribution partners.
After all, only they know what kind of propaganda the local people like.
Of course, as far as Nanaya is concerned, no matter what kind of promotion method is used, he thinks that finding a young and handsome guy to be the image ambassador is definitely the stupidest one.
Therefore, Nanaya sincerely hopes that such a lowly thing will not happen to him again.
Currently, Washimine is looking for someone to do public relations for the market on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and it is not known whether FZ can eventually pass the review.
Therefore, Nanaya couldn't be sure what the final promotional routine of the movie would be.
The previous two FSN films were stuck in censorship for a long time and were delayed for almost half a year before they were released.
In fact, even if it passes the review, Nanaya doesn't expect FZ to make much at the box office.
After all, China's box office had been in a state of decline during this period, and there was no sign of it becoming the second largest movie box office market in the future.
Nanaya had personally experienced that market, so he knew very well that ordinary people there had not yet developed the habit of going to the cinema to watch movies.
Although it was helpless, the Chinese market at that time was still at the stage where movies were only watched on a small screen.
Downloading movies online or buying discs directly to watch movies is the normal way for most people to watch movies at this time.
This mentality is a bit similar to buying genuine games. It's probably because you think you can get it for free, so you don't really want to spend money.
However, movies are luckier than games. On the one hand, movies as an entertainment item have existed longer and are not regarded as a scourge.
On the other hand, special movie screens such as 3D, IMAX, and Dolby sound will be able to bring audiences a visual feast that cannot be compared to watching movies at home.
In fact, China's movie box office began to show a spurt of growth, with the 3D craze of "Avatar" as a turning point.
Because the audience discovered the benefits of watching movies in the cinema, they gradually developed the habit of watching movies.
So, even though Shion was a little confused about Nanaya's desire to enter this market, Nanaya still tried hard to have as many Fate series movies released on the other side of the strait as possible.
The purpose of doing this is to cultivate the market and fans, and pave the way for future big sales of other movies in the Fate series.
Copyright awareness is not something that can be cultivated easily.
This is also a process of cultivating copyright awareness in markets across the world from scratch.
You should know that from the 19th century to the early 20th century, the United States was the country with the most rampant piracy.
Anyway, in Nanaya's memory of the last period of his previous life, China's copyright atmosphere had been developing in a positive direction, which was a good thing.
No one has the ability to become fat in one go, and the market must be developed slowly.
It is not a good idea to throw the baby out with the bathwater.
Just look at the treatment of the Marvel and Star Wars series in the Chinese market and you will know how important it is to slowly cultivate fans.
As a special effects movie, Fate is more likely to be popular in the Chinese market than other types of movies. This advantage ensures that this series will never lack audiences.
When the time comes, I'll add a few servants that the Chinese audiences like, and then I'll start bragging about it.
For example, Zulong, Ying Zheng, and Brother Zheng.
By then, Fate will definitely become a popular series there.
But it's too far away to think about these things now. Nanaya's current goal is still the job at hand.
After Nanaya, Illya and others joined the crew, the pace of filming accelerated again.
Most of the people in the FZ crew are veterans who have been working together since the FSN period. There is no adjustment period at all, and the working rapport between them has been developed long ago.
In fact, this is why most directors prefer to use a team they are familiar with.
For the elderly who know what lens they need, it is really easy to use.
Currently, the FZ crew is not filming in a studio, but has found a special open-air photography area.
Because the scene the crew is currently filming is the one where Saber rides a motorcycle to chase the King of Conquerors.
For this reason, the crew now starts shooting every day with the deafening roar of engine motors.
Nanaya filmed this plot directly as a car racing scene. He referred to the plots and shots of other Hollywood car racing-themed movies, including the "Fast and Furious" series.
If there is a difference, it is that the shots lack the sports cars and luxury cars that often appear in traditional racing movies.
Apart from the traffic in the background, the main characters in this scene are only a motorcycle and a bullock cart.
Although the number of cars is small, the quality of them is not low.
Not to mention the ox cart with a peculiar style, Saber's special motorcycle sponsored by Rolls-Royce is enough to attract the audience's attention.
Due to the needs of the plot, this motorcycle is divided into normal state and Wind King barrier state.
If the former is just a handsome high-end motorcycle, then the latter has a strong sense of science fiction.
The silver streamlined body design and the unique peripherals added to highlight the speed and power make this motorcycle look more like a weapon than a simple driving tool.
Nanaya believes that no one will not be interested in this motorcycle after seeing it, especially its neutral design will definitely make it a favorite of men and women who love motorcycles.
But such a cool appearance does not come without a price.
This motorcycle has an overly gorgeous appearance, but its controllability is very difficult to control.
In other words, ordinary people simply cannot control this silver beast.
Only specially trained special drivers can have enough strength and special skills to control this motorcycle.
This person obviously could not be Lily Wettin.
During the filming of the racing scenes, there was actually only one person who could actually drive the Hayate motorcycle, and that was the professional stuntman specially found by Nanaya.
The stuntman would do all the shots with the bike in motion, while Lily would only do the cool shots when the bike was stationary.
This is also the reason why Nanaya would still start shooting this set of scenes even though the main actors were not there, because they were not needed at all.
Of course, there is a certain difference in body shape between this male stuntman and Lily, so some special effects processing will definitely be needed during the post-production splicing.
I just wonder if after the movie is released, those audiences who are drooling over the heroic Artoria riding on the motorcycle will guess that there is actually a man on top?
It's quite interesting to think about.
"All departments, get ready!"
Nanaya stood on a photography platform several meters above the ground, his eyes fixed on the scenery below.
On the road, Iskandar's model tank was towed by a pickup truck, and behind it was Artoria's motorcycle.
The speeds shown in the movies will definitely not be shown during actual filming. In fact, when filming most of the racing scenes, the vehicle speeds will not be too fast, and they will basically be controlled at a speed where they can brake at any time.
The audience will feel like they are flying, which is more due to the art of editing.
"Please give us your feedback."
Nanaya made a final inquiry through the loudspeaker, and then he saw the driver of the pickup truck and the stuntman on the motorcycle giving him a thumbs up.
"OK, Action!"
With the sound of the script board being tapped, the truck pulling the tank passed directly across the road arranged by the crew, and the motorcycle followed closely behind.
Nanaya taught Shonan how to control the main camera, while he himself stared closely at the two smaller screens on the monitor. These two lenses were installed on the motorcycle and the tank body respectively, in order to restore the driver's line of sight in the chase scene.
This set of shots is basically not difficult. As long as the two experienced drivers do not drive the prop vehicle out of the route set by the crew, the mission is accomplished.
After driving out of the filming area, the two drove around the route and returned from another road.
Because the racing scenes needed to be shown from multiple angles, even though this set of shots was very simple to shoot, Nanaya still asked to shoot it several times so that it would be more complete during future editing.
However, the crew did not immediately resume filming. Several safety inspectors needed to check whether the connection between the pickup truck and the prop vehicle was secure.
Once bitten by a snake, you will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
Nanaya doesn't want the crew to have another safety accident.
However, while waiting for the inspection, Nanaya was not idle. He was checking whether there were any blemishes in the shots he had just taken.
"I have to say, you're the cutest when you're concentrating on your work."
Hearing someone teasing him, Nanaya quickly looked up, and then he saw that Shion and Kyon were standing beside him without him noticing.
