The most important thing for a commercial film project is whether it can generate profits.
Nanaya is well aware of how dynamic the women's market will be in the future.
If Marvel can plan ahead, it will be a huge commercial boost to the future Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Likewise, if there is a commercial necessity.
Nanaya wouldn't mind developing films like Black Panther that specifically target the black market.
The market and profits are there, it would be a waste not to make money.
Although the reviews of the movie "Black Panther" in the past life were very "correct" both in North America and in China.
All positive reviews in North America, and all negative reviews in China.
This actually has a very strong subjective color.
But, this movie really makes money.
Nanaya estimated that from the perspective of investment and return, the box office profit of "Black Panther" would be greater than that of "Avengers".
Of course Nanaya can understand the Chinese audience's disgust with this movie.
In fact, Nanaya himself was also one of those who criticized the movie.
However, after producing so many commercial films, Nanaya can more or less understand this project.
Many people who judge this movie ignore one problem, that is, they are not the target audience of this movie.
To put it bluntly, this movie was not made for them at all.
This movie, like Marvel's subsequent "Captain Marvel", targets a specific segment of superhero fans.
The former is the black group, and the latter is the female group.
The purpose is to tap the market potential.
After all, the size of the superhero movie market has reached its peak with "The Avengers".
If a personal hero movie wants to stand out, it can only target a specific group.
Perhaps even Marvel itself would not have thought that "Black Panther" would be so successful.
Marvel saw the potential of this market, which is much greater than anyone imagined.
The same principle applies to film markets in other regions.
For example, the box office champion of China, "Wolf Warrior 2", and the runner-up, "Nezha: The Devil Child Comes into the World".
From the results shown in the film, it is obvious that this film was targeted at a specific audience group from the beginning.
But the nationwide carnival-like movie-watching craze that followed was probably something that even the producers had not expected.
In fact, if we can put aside those subjective stereotypes, the movie "Black Panther" is still very "interesting".
This film explores many modern social issues in the United States.
But at the same time, this part of the content is still boring for Chinese audiences.
On the other hand, the success of the movie "Black Panther" does leave many hidden dangers in some aspects.
It can be clearly felt that Disney began to pursue "correctness" too much after "Black Panther".
It can even be said that it has reached the point of overcorrection.
Well, black mermaids...
Nanaya "sincerely" hopes that the black girl market can support the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.
After all, "dark skin" is different in the two-dimensional and three-dimensional worlds.
The "dark skin" in the two-dimensional world is called [日烧], which is a kind of cuteness and sexual interest.
It is a completely different concept from the three-dimensional "black skin".
The response from the grand opening ceremony that took place earlier far exceeded Nanaya's expectations.
You should know that New York is not the gathering place for entertainment paparazzi, but Hollywood in Los Angeles is.
But during the few days that Nanaya stayed in New York, he was surrounded by reporters almost every day.
The number of reporters and paparazzi surrounding him increased dramatically.
Whenever Nanaya appears on the streets of New York, he will be immediately surrounded by a large number of reporters.
If not, the place where he has spent the longest time is inside a large company like Victoria's Secret or Marvel.
I guess these media reporters would probably just break in.
Fortunately, Nanaya had the foresight to bring the sisters Sera and Leysritt with him when he came to New York, otherwise he would have been unable to move forward.
These two maids are very dedicated to their work.
They use a waterproof, fireproof and bestie-proof attitude to deal with these hyenas chasing big news.
The defense was so tight that the paparazzi had no chance to get any information.
In fact, it's not just reporters who are chasing after Nanaya.
Although investing $200 million to make a movie is considered a joke in the industry, there are still many people who are very interested in it.
For example, a certain Cornhead tycoon, the future president.
The real estate developer conveyed to Nanaya through Washimine his wish to make a cameo appearance in the movie.
In return, Nanaya was able to rent various venues under his name for filming at very cheap prices.
Nanaya was very moved after hearing the news, and then rejected the other party.
Although Nanaya had heard that the other party had a habit of guest starring in major film and television series.
However...
What are you doing?!
How dare Nanaya use this big guy? !
You know, this guy will be hated by everyone in Hollywood in the future.
This corn-head tycoon deserves the title of "Hollywood's Most Unpopular President", no doubt about it.
The "black cornrows" thing has even become a kind of "political correctness" in Hollywood.
Its status is even ranked third, only below black people and feminism, and above homosexuality and religion.
Even if Nanaya had nothing better to do, he would not ask him to play a guest role.
How could Nanaya possibly do something with such high risk and low return?
Instead of getting to eat the mutton, you end up getting into trouble.
Who will Nanaya cry to then?
However, this real estate tycoon was also stubborn. He did not give up after being rejected by Nanaya for the first time, and even wanted to visit him in person.
This scared Nanaya to death.
Fortunately, Nanaya had almost completed his work in the United States this time, so he immediately chose to return to Japan.
As for the real estate tycoon, Nanaya directly handed him over to Washimine.
I think with Washimine's public relations skills, he should be able to handle this matter well.
After returning to Japan, the crew of "Madoka Magica" resumed filming.
After the crew had gone through a period of adjustment, Nanaya began to try to divide the crew into groups.
Nanaya gave a part of it to his teacher, Ryuichi Hanai, and asked him to bring people to help film the daily campus scenes.
Nanaya took others to shoot some real scenes that happened outside the school.
Although they were called groups, in reality the two teams were only separated by one studio.
Although the behind-the-scenes staff remains the same, the actors often finish shooting in one group in the morning and then go to the next group to shoot other scenes.
Since Luvia went to play Pepper Potts in the "Iron Man 2" crew, Nanaya temporarily stopped filming the scenes related to Mami Tomoe.
Let's start with the story after Mami Tomoes death.
After all, it's impossible to keep the crew on hold and wait for Luvia to come back, right?
In the studio, the set had just been set up and Shonan was still directing his assistant to set up the camera.
And Nanaya called Rin to the main camera position.
"Rin, when the filming starts, I will give you a close-up of about three seconds. This is the time to test your acting skills."
At present, the content of this play is not complicated. It is just the plot that Madoka goes to her senior's house to return the notebook after Mami's death.
Although the plot that needs to be performed is not complicated, it is a great test of Rin's acting skills.
She is the only one in the entire shot, and all the audience's attention is focused on her.
If Rin fails to act out the confusion, sadness, fear and other emotions after Mami's death, it will easily distract the audience.
"A close-up of the front?"
Rin nodded thoughtfully, "Can we try it twice first? Let me get the mood going..."
Speaking of this, Rin felt a little embarrassed.
"Of course, no problem. This isn't my first time filming a movie."
Nanaya walked towards the constructed room, and Rin followed behind him.
After briefly explaining the movements, Nanaya began to let Rin try to shoot this set of shots.
"Scene 57, Scene 4, test shooting begins now!"
Although it was just a test shoot, all the details were done perfectly, and even the camera captured Rin's performance.
Thanks to the development of technology, test shots can also be recorded in the form of electronic data.
If it was shot on film, Nanaya probably wouldn't have recorded it directly during the test shoot.
Film is too expensive and a complete waste of budget.
Currently, Tohsaka Rin has appeared in several movies and even held countless concerts.
At this time, she already had a very clear concept of camera sense.
In addition, before the filming began, Nanaya had already demonstrated it to her.
What Rin needs to do now is to transform the words on the script into her own performance.
In front of the camera, Rin walked slowly through the corridor into the room.
Looking at the empty room, Kaname Madoka couldn't help but recall the happy times she had spent with her senior classmate Mami Tomoe.
"Senior…"
Because the sight of the object reminded him of someone, tears welled up in Lin's eyes.
[The relationship has become much richer than it was at the beginning. ]
Nanaya, who was standing in front of the monitor and watching Rin's performance, nodded with satisfaction.
Compared to her acting skills which could be described as "terrible" back then, Rin's acting skills have improved significantly.
At least I can cry when I want to.
Originally, Nanaya thought that he would need to use onions or something similar to assist.
It was like that in order to get the girls to perform in front of the camera.
Nanaya used a lot of props like the jumping [beep! ]
[But you can still see the element of "acting". ]
"Cut!"
Nanaya called for a stop.
"Rin, your expression needs to go a little deeper."
"Really?"
Rin nodded, and she returned to her seat and started filming again.
But the results were still not much better.
"It seems that although this girl has no problem with most of the scenes, some of the extreme emotional performances are still not up to the end."
Looking at the results of several test shots on the monitor, Nanaya said a little annoyed.
"Is this a lack of reality?"
Old Gen, who was following Nanaya, saw the look on Nanaya's face and asked in a low voice.
"Yeah, although ordinary commercial films should be able to pass, but this movie..."
Nanaya didn't finish his words, but what he meant was that he hoped to do better.
"If that's the case, I have a good idea."
I don't know if it's an illusion, but Nanaya always feels that the expression on Gen's face when he said this has a bit of the charm of "Warrior of Love".
[etc!]
[Urobuchi is a warrior of love! ]
The blind student Nanaya discovered the highlight.
