Post-shadow Development Plan

Many people even regard going to the cinema to watch a movie with exaggerated special effects as a living habit.

Especially after "Titanic", the production level of computer special effects has gradually matured.

Limiting the level of pictures and special effects is no longer technology, but the director's imagination and film cost.

For commercial film directors and special effects films themselves, this can be said to be an unprecedented good era.

But while these special effects movies made people all over the world exclaim "incredible", they also made many people feel a little regretful.

Because these movies, without exception, come from Hollywood.

This made Ah Wing a little discouraged. Obviously, Japanese special effects movies had their glory days.

"Godzilla" filmed by Eiji Tsuburaya back then, from the perspective of special effects, was not lost to any North American film at all.

While Hollywood was still using stop-motion animation frame-by-frame technology, Japan had already started the era of Tokusho with leather cases and miniature models.

However, this brilliance was short-lived. When Japanese filmmakers were still immersed in the glory of the era of special effects technology, Hollywood film companies had already entered the era of computer special effects.

The two peerless classics, "Jurassic Park" and "Titanic", let Japanese filmmakers see what real special effects movies are.

During this period, countless Japanese filmmakers tried to rebel, but all failed without exception.

Their films may be loved by local audiences in Japan, but they rarely achieve high commercial success internationally.

Even "Spirited Away", which achieved an unprecedented box office of 308 billion yen in Japan, only had a box office of 2.5 million US dollars overseas.

But one of them is an exception, and that is Kiryu Nanaya, who won a global box office of 6 million through "Goblin Slayer".

Although everyone knows that the movie "Goblin Slayer" has a lot of tricks, but the dazzling box office results are enough to make everyone shut up.

Don't talk about tricks, commercial value is the only criterion for measuring a commercial film.

In fact, although professional film critics don't think highly of Kiryu Nanaya, they think he is too flattering to the audience.

But in the eyes of Japanese entertainment reporters, Kiryu Nanaya is a monument to Japanese commercial films.

At least they feel that Kiryu Nanaya may not be able to leave a shining name in the history of film, but it will definitely not be an unknown person.

So, when Arong saw that familiar face walk up to the podium, she believed that he would succeed.

Kiryu Nanaya must succeed.

This is Ah Rong's truest thought at the moment.

Because so far, the young director has never failed.

Well, Miss Arong is actually biased in thinking this way, after all, if Qiye fails, she will not be able to see him here.

This press conference was no different from other traditional press conferences in Hollywood, and it was no different from the ones Seven Nights had attended before.

After going through the routine cutscenes, memorize the prepared speech.

This press conference came to the end and the most important part of the reporter's question.

Ah Rong immediately raised his hand.

Her oriental face gave her an advantage, and Jiufeng's press officer immediately spotted her.

Arong stood up and asked, "Director Kiryu, can you reveal the general plot or theme of the Fate project?"

The news officer and Qiye looked at each other, and Qiye nodded slightly.

He picked up the microphone and said: "The theme of the movie is like the title I typed just now, which is fate. This is a story about heroes. The protagonist enters a modern war between ancient heroes by chance. .For the protagonist, this is a story of his growth; and the audience will see a bloody battle. I believe it will not disappoint everyone."

"Those ancient heroes, from what angle will Director Kiryu describe them? Can it meet everyone's expectations for those heroes?"

another white reporter asked.

Seven nights replied: "I will keep the past of the heroes as much as possible, and add some modern people's views. You must know that the stories of these heroes have been circulated in the world for hundreds of thousands of years, and every era will have their own characteristics. own opinions and opinions.”

"I believe it will be very interesting to look at these ancient heroes from the perspective of modern people."

Qiye added another sentence before putting down the microphone.

Another reporter from the "New York Times" asked: "Director Kiryu, regarding the city where the main stage of the story is located, where would you choose? San Francisco?"

"I set the stage of the story in Fuyuki City, which is a fictional city, a modern international seaport city."

Qiye began to introduce her movie stage.

"You will see familiar cities in the world in this city, such as the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, the Empire State Building in New York, and even the Tokyo Tower in Tokyo, etc., which will make the audience both strange and familiar."

Seven nights thought about it, and then emphasized: "The reason for adopting this design is that the heroes in the story come from ancient legends and history from all over the world, so as the stage for their battle, it should also be a complex of modern cities. Only Only in this way can we be worthy of the status of these heroes.”

What Nanaya said is not a lie, although most of the live-action shooting scenes will be set in Kobe, but he will indeed add a lot of international things.

For example, replacing the Fuyuki City Bridge with the Golden Gate Bridge, and adding landmarks from other cities, etc.

After all, it is a movie that wants to enter the European and American entertainment circles. If it uses a purely Japanese stage like the original FSN, it will probably make many European and American audiences feel unfamiliar.

So this kind of necessary flattery is still necessary. Anyway, it is just adding a few buildings with CG synthesis technology, which does not increase the cost of the film much.

It can be regarded as a good way to save time and effort with high cost performance.

After all, this time Fsn's investment in special effects is higher than that of the previous "Goblin Slayer", and it is not bad for this little extra content.

The last question was given to a reporter from The Washington Post.
