In fact, if possible, Nanaya would prefer to change the character in "Iron Man 3" to Dr. Doom.
The other party is also a villain who is proficient in both technology and magic, and his popularity in the comics is much higher than that of [Mandarin].
It's a pity that the copyright of this character belongs to the Fantastic Four.
The copyright of Fantastic Four is in the hands of Fox.
Of course, this is to take into account Marvel's market development in China.
It is certain that [Mandarin] will be changed to [Mandalin], and the background story of this character will be moved to the Middle East.
Several minor villains who appeared in "Iron Man 1 & 2", including the terrorists who kidnapped Tony and the arms dealer Hammer, were all subordinates of this [Mandalin].
This is to ensure the unity of the "Iron Man" trilogy and the continuity of the plot.
Of course, as Marvel gradually became more formal, Nanaya let Marvel handle many things on its own.
As long as the plot adaptation is not too outrageous or does not cause any weird things, Nanaya will basically not object.
Because the scope of the FGO audition is very large this time, in addition to this second round of large-scale auditions, there are also interviews with many well-known actors.
After several screenings, Nanaya finally finalized the actor for Professor Leif.
Mads Mikkelsen, the most charming man in Denmark, will play Professor Leif in FGO.
The reason I chose this actress was because of the inspiration Rachel McAdams gave me during the audition.
Anyway, Type-Moon and Marvel share more than one or two actors, so as long as the image is OK, it won't be a big problem.
However, what surprised Nanaya was Leonardo Dicaprio's reaction.
After Lily mentioned to Leonardo about playing the big boss in FGO, the other party did not directly refuse.
Although he was a little hesitant about playing a villain, he still hoped to understand the role before making a decision.
Nanaya naturally agreed to this and handed over the outline of Solomon and Goetia's characters to the other party.
As for things like script leaks, Nanaya had never worried about them at all.
Leonardo Dicaprio is a veteran actor in Hollywood, so he naturally knows what to do.
Whether in this life or the previous one, this "loyal" playboy has never been involved in a scandal due to breach of trust.
Even when the "Me Too" movement was popular later, Leo was not involved in any trouble.
It can be seen that this big star, like Nanaya, is a good family man who is "loyal", trustworthy and caring.
It's just that Nanaya is devoted to his woman, while Leonardo Dicaprio is devoted to the young supermodel day after day.
However, Leonardo Dicaprio did not give Nanaya an answer so quickly.
According to Lily's retelling, although he was very interested in the role of Solomon, he had not played a villain for more than ten years.
After all, when "Titanic" became a huge hit, Leonardo's idol positioning became basically sunny and positive.
It can be said that Leonardo has never played a villain since Jack drowned in the sea.
The only exception is "The Man in the Iron Mask", but although that movie was released later than "Titanic", it was filmed earlier than the ship.
It can only be said to be an exception.
Therefore, Leonardo Dicaprio needs to think carefully before making a decision whether to take on the role of Solomon.
Nanaya also expressed his understanding of this.
But he only gave Leonardo two months to think.
The prologue was about to start filming, and he had to finalize the cast list as soon as possible.
In addition to the actors in the prologue, auditions for the actors in the first chapter have also made progress.
Because it is an FGO script, the quality of the first chapter can be said to be really not that good.
A lot of servants were thrown out, but only a few were written well in the end.
Most of the servants are basically jumping back and forth between being a passing scene and having their characters ruined.
Nanaya vaguely remembers the scene when Samson met Queen Marie.
When Nanaya saw Samson asking the queen if she felt good when she turned around, he really spat out a mouthful of blood.
What the hell is this?
It's better to play with historical memes!!
Therefore, when Peter Jackson and the script team were producing the script for "The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon", most of the content was directly deleted.
Only keep the main body of the battle between black and white Joan of Arc, and then expand on this core.
Many useless servants were deleted one by one.
After all, it is too difficult to ask the audience to remember a dozen characters in a movie of less than three hours.
Not even Peter Jackson, the master of group portrait films, can do it.
Although there are so many impressive characters in "The Lord of the Rings", many of them are representatives of different races.
When the movie was changed to "The Hobbit" with a lot of dwarves, the problem of character creation was immediately highlighted.
After finishing The Hobbit trilogy, most viewers couldn't even remember how many dwarves there were in the main character team.
Even if I could barely remember its appearance, I couldn't remember its name.
In order to prevent audiences from having the same problems when watching the movie, it is necessary to streamline the characters in the original game script.
The characters that finally remained in the Black Jeanne d'Arc camp, besides the Marshal of France, were the Dragon Lady, Martha and Dion.
The protagonist camp retains Joan of Arc, Marshal Sword, Queen Mary, Little Dragon Lady and Sorry.
Pooh.
It's Siegfried.
The remaining characters have basically been streamlined and play a huge role in promoting the plot.
Queen Cake Mary is an important supporting character in the entire film. Her love for the people and her sacrifice will become a catalyst for Fujimaru Ritsuka's growth.
Siegfried exists as a tool to slay the dragon.
The little dragon girl Elizabeth will act as a funny comedian.
On the other hand, every character left behind by the Black Jeanne d'Arc faction can serve as an opponent of the positive side.
Actually, Nanaya originally wanted to keep Samson, but he really couldn't get over the issue of "whether it would be fun to turn around", so he changed it to Dion.
As for who should play these roles, Nanaya has not decided so quickly.
Although he used cake and Mr. Sorry when filming "Magical Girl Illya".
But at that time, Nanaya was poor and had low aspirations, so the actors he found naturally could not completely satisfy him.
This time it's such a big project, so naturally all the actors have to be re-selected.
The first person confirmed to star in "The Evil Dragon's Hundred Years Empire" is naturally Lily.
She will play two roles in the film, playing Joan of Arc in black and white.
Of course, when playing the role of Joan of Arc, Lily would wear a pad, commonly known as a fake breast.
In fact, Lily herself refused this matter, but the reason given by Nanaya was that the audience needed to feel that Jeanne d'Arc and Altria were two different characters.
"So, you men think that big and small are two completely different people!!!"
After Nanaya finished explaining, Lily took off her shoes and threw them at Nanaya's face.
By the way, there will be a scene in the movie where the black and white Joan of Arc appear at the same time.
Therefore, Ryan will join the crew as Lily's stand-in.
This is another reason why Nanaya asked Lily to wear a Pad.
After all, it is always easier to make it bigger than to make it smaller. What if the chest wrap causes Ryan to feel chest tightness and shortness of breath?
Cough cough.
Nanaya dared to swear on the light bulb in his head that he definitely did not take the initiative to prepare the very useful black and white Joan of Arc Cosplay costume for Ryan.
Of course, if Shion helps him prepare in the future, Nanaya will not refuse.
After all, that's Joan of Arc!!
Who can resist a blonde busty girl wearing Jeanne d'Arc's clothes walking in front of him? !
In addition to Joan of Arc, Joaquin Phoenix, who played the marshal in FZ, will also return.
When Nanaya chose him to play the role of the marshal, it was naturally because he valued his almost insane performance in the movie "Joker".
After all, Joaquin Phoenix is the first person in history to win the Best Actor award for a superhero role.
Although this has not happened yet, it does not prevent Nanaya from exploring his expertise in playing psychopaths in advance.
Anyway, judging from the audience feedback on both parts of FZ, everyone has a good impression of this actor.
Therefore, Nanaya has no plans to replace the actors.
While the actors for the first singularity began to be confirmed, the work on the prologue had already entered the formal preparation stage.
However, the first people to gather were not the actors, but the props team and the set team.
Nanaya asked them to build a studio for filming the Chaldea organization scenes.
It's not a set that's thrown away after use, nor is it a fake scene that's only partially built, but a real Chaldean magic studio.
A place that can be seen, used, and even lived in.
It can be said that except for the incredible magic, all other facilities must be exactly the same as those in Chaldea in the setting.
The reason for doing this is simple - to save money.
As a scene that appears in all FGO movies.
It would be really troublesome if we had to rebuild the sets for every movie.
So Nanaya simply made it with better quality so that it could be used continuously.
Of course, after the filming is completed, this part of the building does not need to be demolished, it can be directly transformed into a tourist attraction.
Therefore, this special studio was not located on a Hollywood set, nor in a relatively cheap place like Australia.
Instead, Nanaya chose to locate it in the suburbs of New York to facilitate future visits by tourists.
Of course, although it is called the suburbs, its actual location is basically on the edge of New York.
It is the kind of place that claims to be in the suburbs of the imperial capital, but your mobile phone will display "Hebei Mobile Welcome You".
But there is no way around it, after all, land in downtown New York is too expensive.
Besides, one has to find a quiet place to film, otherwise how can Nanaya film with onlookers disturbing him all day long?
