Chapter 749 - Chapter 740: Moving to the Outdoor Scene

Nanaya definitely didn't know about the unhealthy and abnormal thoughts in Yumi's mind.

If he knew, he would definitely hang Yumi up and spank her.

And he has more important things to do right now.

Despite pointing out the shortcomings of Inukai's performance, Nanaya still felt a little worried.

So he continued to instruct her, "Inukai, your character is an ordinary person. He knew nothing before entering Chaldea, so facing the current situation, he has no foundation in magic and feels confused about the current situation. He also feels helpless that he can't help Mashu."

"This is the first face-to-face conversation he and Mashu have had since entering the singularity. You need to understand his mental state."

Inukai Atsuhiro immediately promised: "I will."

"Well, you should think about it more."

No matter how great Nanaya is, he is just a director. He can tell the actors what level they should achieve, but how the actors achieve it depends on themselves.

After giving instructions to the two actors, Nanaya went to find Shonan again.

Ask him to adjust the angle of the camera slightly to ensure a more perfect shot.

This set of shots was not completed until all the shooting work for the day was finished.

Shooting only one shot in a day is definitely slow in terms of efficiency.

But Nanaya felt that it was not a loss.

The male and female protagonistsInukai Atsuhiro and Sakutsuki Yumi are more than just partners in a movie.

As the core of the entire series, these two actors must find their chemistry.

After a day of running-in, Inukai and Yumi have finally found a relative balance and can adapt to each other's performance.

However, Nanaya felt that this state was quite fragile and could not be maintained for too long.

Even so, Nanaya was already quite satisfied.

Yumi and Inukai will still have a long time to work together, long enough for the two to develop the proper tacit understanding.

Although the filming was over, no one left the studio immediately.

After the actors removed their makeup and changed into normal clothes, Nanaya asked everyone to stand together for photos.

In order to ensure that Washimine's publicity agency can release some information from time to time, Nanaya must record all kinds of information about the crew at any time.

These on-set photos are the best promotional materials for the publicity and distribution department.

Not only these work photos, but during the daytime shooting, Nanaya also asked a special photographer to capture some stills for publicity.

Stills can be said to be a reflection and record of the crew during filming. Most crews have the habit of taking stills for publicity.

Especially those stills taken of the actors while they were performing.

For fans of the movie, they can use these stills to guess the plot and what will happen to the protagonist.

If combined with some text explanations, it can have a very good publicity effect.

In fact, even in the era of online self-media, the best way for film crews to publicize to the outside world is still trailers and stills.

What has changed is only the promotional application of these two materials.

There are naturally many tricks to the crew photos taken by the photographer.

The most important thing, of course, is the core content that needs to be highlighted in each photo.

Is this photo intended to promote the plot of the movie, or the working conditions among the crew members?

This is something every still photographer must figure out.

After all, the work that the crew has to do, in the final analysis, is to promote the movie, not a specific actor.

Even if the biggest selling point of that movie is a superstar.

The day's work ended here. Just as Nanaya was tidying up his workbench, Yumi came over quietly.

"Big brother, do you have time?"

She stood opposite Nanaya with a charming smile on her face: "Shall we have dinner together?"

"Let's just forget about it today."

Nanaya hesitated for a moment, but he still rejected the other party's invitation.

It would be fine if the whole crew were having dinner together, but if it was just him and Yumi, forget it.

Although now News Corp.'s lackeys are focusing most of their attention on Lucas.

But Nanaya was not without reporters following him.

Just in case, Nanaya did not intend to provide them with materials actively.

"All right..."

Yumi looked a little lost, and she kicked something lightly on the ground.

"What's wrong?"

Nanaya felt a little strange about Yumi's reaction.

"Hmph~ Big brother, you bastard, just go have dinner with Sister Ori!"

Yumi made a face at Nanaya and then ran away.

"What is this girl doing?"

Nanaya tilted his head and thought for a long time but still couldn't figure out what Yumi was up to.

"Kukuku, brother-in-law, you performed very well~~"

Before Nanaya knew it, Lily also came to his side. She put one hand on Nanaya's shoulder and praised him with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you did a great job. I am very happy."

Pop.

Nanaya gave Lily a knife attack.

"Brother-in-law, what are you doing? I'm just praising you. Isn't it your job to stay away from women other than your sister?"

Bang!

Nanaya struck down with his knife again.

"Well... I'm going to tell my sister that you bullied me!" Lily used saliva to create two tears in the corners of her eyes and said with tears in her eyes.

Bang!

The only answer Lily had was a knife.

"Brother-in-law is a bad guy, he bullies people!"

Bang bang bang!

Afterwards, Nanaya discovered that Lily's forehead was very elastic and she could get addicted to using it to practice knife skills.

··

After two weeks of shooting indoor scenes in the studio, the crew of the prologue finally completed the indoor shooting shots in the school.

Because the interior scenes of other scenes need to be rebuilt by the set design team.

So while the set crew was setting up the scene, Nanaya went to the streets of Los Angeles and started shooting some outdoor scenes.

According to Nanaya's filming plan, he intends to complete all the scenes in Fuyuki City before August.

Then he took the crew to the Chaldea Magic Studio in New York and filmed the rest of the scenes in 1 to 2 months.

According to Nanaya's estimate, the prologue movie should be able to enter the post-production stage in October.

According to the current overall plan, Washimine Entertainment and Nanaya have confirmed the release date for the prologue during the Memorial Day holiday in May next year.

If this is the case, there will be more time for post-production.

But this affluence is relative after all.

The prologue of FGO will use a lot of CGI generation technology. If this part of the production needs to be perfect, no amount of time will be enough.

After all, the biggest selling point of the Fate series and the biggest attribute of popcorn movies has always been the gorgeous visual effects.

Besides, there will be all kinds of servants in the movie, and many action scenes are simply not something that ordinary people can accomplish.

Without the green screen, even Nanaya would not be able to achieve the effect he wanted.

Although the scene was moved outdoors, the crew did not shoot on the streets of Los Angeles.

The Fuyuki City in the singularity is an uninhabited area, and it is impossible for Nanaya to go to such a busy street to shoot.

Not to mention the large number of people and the many eyes, even the cost of the set is very high.

The outdoor street scene chosen by the crew was on the bank of a river, where there were few people and enough space to set up the green screen and the set.

On the other hand, this area can also recreate the scene beside the Fuyuki City Bridge as closely as possible.

Although only a part of it is restored, the distant view still needs to rely on green screen CG.

But from the perspective of cost-effectiveness, this is already the most ideal solution.

On an ordinary weekday morning, when the sun had just risen.

The crew members arrived at the shooting location and began to work.

At the same time, the Los Angeles Police Department also sent several police cars to help close the road and maintain order.

Although it is not a busy road, there are still vehicles passing through here.

Without permission from the Los Angeles government, the crew naturally would not dare to block the road at will.

Fortunately, the crew reached an agreement with the Los Angeles Police Department early on, and the police were willing to assist in the filming.

Don't think that Hollywood only works closely with the Pentagon. Many other government departments, such as municipal governments, the FBI and even Wall Street, have Hollywood liaison offices or similar agencies.

These departments are specifically responsible for handling business dealings with Hollywood.

After all, Hollywood movies are a very good publicity channel and a platform to showcase themselves to the world.

Especially when working with a great director like Nanaya Kiryu, the Los Angeles Police Department is naturally very welcome.

Originally, they had asked Nanaya whether, in addition to blocking the road and maintaining order, he also needed some extra police officers, SAT teams, explosion-proof vehicles and other special equipment.

Unfortunately, the scene that Nanaya filmed was the end of the world, in Fuyuki City where there were no living people except the main character team.

He really has no use for this kind of modern police force.

As a director, although Nanaya was not the first to arrive on the set, he was also extremely busy.

Although compared with the many large-scale battles he had commanded before, this encounter by the river was only a small scene.

But as the on-site coordinator, Nanaya still has to try his best to do everything to the best of his ability.

The actors were already putting on makeup and costumes in a huge trailer.

Compared to ordinary people who can easily do it, the three servant actors have to work much harder.

Fortunately, Cuchulain's clothes were cumbersome at best and not a big problem.

But the tights that Yumi and Scarlett were wearing were a bit troublesome.

If you want to look good in a tights and be able to move freely while filming, these two "treasures" - talcum powder and lubricant - are absolutely essential.

Otherwise, Yumi's skin would be rubbed by the clothes before the filming even started.

After all, the design concept of these servants' tights is similar to that of superheroes, and is completely different from athletes' tights.

When it comes to tights for athletes, the first thing to consider is always their practicality in sports, but when it comes to tights for stage costumes, the first and foremost factor is the visual effect when worn on the body, followed by convenience during filming.

The outfits of Mashu and Sister R are relatively okay, but the outfit that Scarlett Johansson wore in "Avengers" was thick, tight and not breathable.

According to Scarlett herself, she always added thick pads between her chest and buttocks to create enough space between her body and the clothes.

At the same time, you also need to use a large can of talcum powder to keep your body comfortable.

Otherwise, she would be covered with prickly heat after wearing that outfit for less than half a day, which is really terrible for a female star.
