Afterwards, Nanaya briefly introduced the process of how he and Urobuchi created the script.
Nanaya didn't exaggerate this part and just told it according to the facts.
However, Nanaya did not explain the concepts of thriller and horror to the people present.
Students are definitely not interested in such professional things. They come to see the experts, not to attend classes.
Nanaya felt that those filmmakers would probably sneer at his own ideas.
Today's Chinese directors, especially those who are here today.
Although they have achieved certain success in the Chinese market, some of their works have won awards at the three major European film festivals.
However, when it comes to commercial film creation, their ideas are very different from Nanaya's, and it can even be said that they are going in opposite directions.
So in order to avoid this meaningless quarrel, Nanaya did not reveal the core creative concept of "Madoka Magica" - [weirdness].
After talking about topics related to "Madoka Magica", Nanaya temporarily left the podium for a break.
However, the interview session was not interrupted. After Nanaya left the stage, it was naturally Shion who took his place in the interview.
The turmoil caused by this female chairman when she came to power was no less than that caused by the Chinese-speaking Nanaya.
Everyone at the scene, young or old, male or female, exclaimed in surprise when they saw Shion.
There are two main reasons for this situation.
For the older generation of filmmakers, they have never paid attention to video games.
The name Washimine itself was very unfamiliar to them.
Therefore, even though they know that Washimine Entertainment is a newly emerging film company in recent years, they do not know who the company's owner is.
Some people even take it for granted that the boss of a big company is naturally an old man.
The situation is better for young students, at least because they played a lot of pirated games when they were young, so everyone knows the name Washimine.
But the question is, what's up with this beautiful woman with long green hair walking onto the stage? !
"Isn't the president of Washimine Satoshi Iwata?"
Someone who knew a little about Washimine called out directly.
"Idiot, didn't I just introduce him to you? This is the chairman of Washimine."
"It turns out that the chairman and the president don't mean the same thing."
"This woman looks familiar! Damn! She's the actress who often makes cameo appearances in Washimine's movies! Turns out she's Washimine's boss!"
The other boy slapped his thigh.
Compared to the boys' exclamation, the girls' reactions were tinged with sourness.
"Washimine Shion... This means this woman is a typical rich second-generation~"
"She looks like a foxy girl. I might have thought she was the chairman's secretary."
"That's right. His acting is so bad. Such a good resource is totally wasted."
Hearing these people's discussions, Xiao Jie Mo rolled his eyes.
"Come on, don't these people have any sense at all? The boss is acting purely as a hobby, how can it be considered a waste of resources?"
"But I'm really envious..." Qin Jue said while biting his finger, "I also want to act in Kiryu Nanaya's movie, even if it's just a cameo."
"I want to, too... Who here doesn't want to?"
Wasabi-chan said frustratedly.
Among all the students in the acting department, which one doesn't want to become a big star?
Nanaya Kiryu is now the world box office champion, so his future films will naturally attract a lot of attention.
If you can play a cameo role in a movie, it will play a great supporting role not only in the international market, but also in the Chinese entertainment industry.
But the problem is, it's not so easy to watch Kiryu Nanaya's movies.
Not to mention China, even in Hollywood, everyone has their own job.
In addition, Kiryu Nanaya's movies particularly like to use actors she is familiar with.
Every time Director Kiryu directs a new movie, there are only a handful of new actors and actresses.
Therefore, this beautiful dream can only be thought of by Wasabi-chan.
On the podium, Shion has already started being interviewed by the host.
Maybe it's because Shion is a great beauty, or maybe it's because Shion doesn't like to feed razor blades like the old thief Nanaya.
So the host's attitude towards her was better than Nanaya's.
"Welcome to China, Ms. Washimine. Thank you very much for taking the time to accept our interview. First of all, I would like to congratulate Madoka Magica for its outstanding achievements."
Shion smiled sweetly: "Thank you, I'm glad to come to China."
Unlike Nanaya who chose to communicate directly in Chinese, Shion spoke Japanese.
In fact, Shion's Chinese is pretty good, and her literary attainments are even better than Nanaya, a time traveler who has lived his entire life as a Chinese.
But publicity is not showing off. Having one pro-China friendly person like Nanaya is enough.
Too many people will not achieve the desired publicity effect.
Anyway, there was a translation prepared on site, so it wouldn't matter much even if Shion answered in Japanese.
The questions asked to Shion would naturally be different from those asked to Nanaya.
Compared to the film production itself, the questions asked to the big boss Shion are naturally more inclined towards things other than film production.
For example...
"We all know that Madoka Magica is a huge investment, and it is even said to be the most expensive movie in the world. We are very curious about how you made up your mind to invest in such a movie?"
Shion smiled slightly and said proudly, "This decision can be said to be difficult, but it can also be said to be easy."
"The difficulty lies in the fact that the special effects technology used in Madoka Magica is all new, which will require a huge amount of money."
"At the same time, Madoka Magica is an original film. Its script is not based on a book or a comic or a well-known story."
The host nodded and said, "Indeed, there are fewer and fewer purely original Hollywood movies recently. So why did Ms. Washimine say it was easy?"
"Because the people who proposed this project are Nanaya Kiryu and Gen Urobuchi. Especially Nanaya Kiryu, he is the quality assurance."
Shion had a very bright smile on her face, and she answered in an almost boastful tone.
"I am really honored to have formed a long-term collaboration with Director Kiryu over the past 10 years."
"From FSN to the huge success of Inferno, which has been the annual box office champion for four consecutive years, all of us at Washimine have full confidence in Kiryu."
In fact, the first movie that built my confidence should be "Goblin Slayer", but unfortunately this R-rated movie was not introduced in China.
Therefore, in China's official publicity activities, Washimine can only pretend that this movie does not exist.
In addition to sending flash bombs to everyone and showing off their love in a very subtle way, Shion also specifically talked about the future trends of 3D movies and digital movies.
"We are in an exciting era. You should know that the development of 3D movies in China is the fastest and also the fastest in the world."
Because she had done her homework beforehand, Shion answered very naturally and fluently.
"In the past two years, China has added 700 3D screens. I believe that after Puella Magi Madoka Magica is officially released, this number will grow exponentially."
"In my opinion, 3D is part of the trend of film development. The development of film from silent film to sound, from black and white to color, are all normal trends. I believe the same is true for 2D to 3D."
These words were actually learned by Shion from Nanaya, but it did not prevent her from packaging herself as a great prophet who could predict movie trends.
"I think one day we'll see all movies in 3D. It'll take many, many years though."
"But now we're moving toward that."
The host nodded, and he continued to ask, "I heard that you and Kiryu are both optimistic about digital TV, but many directors think that the texture of film is more unique."
Hearing this, Shion suddenly burst out laughing.
"Sorry, I just thought of something funny."
Shion waved her hands repeatedly and then began to explain.
"I've had dinner with George Lucas and Steven Spielberg, two of the great filmmakers."
"We discussed this issue at the time, and Spielberg said he still liked the unique green color of film shooting."
"But Lucas joked with him: How green do you want it to be? I'll make it for you directly on the computer."
Shion's joke made many people in the audience laugh.
But those old filmmakers looked at each other worriedly.
Shion's words clearly hinted at the future of film.
This made them feel a little sad.
Even film will become obsolete, so what about them?
But the host is not a filmmaker.
He doesn't have a very specific idea about whether film or digital is better.
If it weren't for his work, he might not pay attention to this issue.
Therefore, he would not think too much about the answer given by Shion.
"Then the last question is, after you became the chairman of Washimine Group, you brought a huge leap forward for the company. Especially after the release of Madoka Magica, Washimine Group's market value has exceeded 100 billion US dollars."
"I believe that as a major shareholder, you are probably the richest woman in the world right now."
"What do you think is the secret of your success?"
[Because I have a man with unrivaled intuition. ]
Shion really wanted to answer like this, but in order to prevent Nanaya from showing off, she did not say what she wanted to say.
"I think the most important thing is to trust your subordinates and leave professional matters to professionals."
"For example, when it comes to making games, I will entrust all the responsibilities to Brother Iwata, and when it comes to making movies, I will let Director Kiryu take charge of all matters."
Shion behaved very modestly, without a trace of arrogance.
"My job is to create the best working conditions for them and ensure that their projects can be completed successfully."
"It's a bit embarrassing to say that I only did a small amount of work."
Amidst applause, Shion ended her interview.
"OK, I've finished my work, now it's up to you."
Shion came to the backstage and high-fived Nanaya with a relaxed look on her face.
"I think you look pretty good."
Nanaya snorted coldly, he knew that Shion's last sentence was definitely intentional.
Shion hid her face behind the folding fan and looked at Nanaya with narrowed eyes.
"What a shame! If someone used me as their rumored girlfriend, they would have just said that you were the reason for their success."
Feeling guilty after being looked at by Shion, Nanaya quickly fled to the podium.
Different from the previous part.
This time on stage, Nanaya needs to answer questions from the audience.
At the beginning of this session, a Chinese filmmaker asked a very crucial question.
"Director Kiryu, what do you think is the biggest gap between Chinese films and Hollywood films?"
