Post-shadow Development Plan

At the beginning of December, Qiye finally came up with the 12 version of the first half of "Fate Satay Night", and then asked Jiufeng to submit it to the MPAA for rating.

During the period of waiting for the result, Qiye participated in a meeting of Jiufeng about the Fate movie series.

"In short, the main production of the Fate series has been completed. According to the consistent efficiency of the MPAA, we should be able to get the rating report in the middle of this month." Qiye closed the file in his hand and said to everyone present .

"If there are no problems with ratings, we'll start holding trial screenings." Zi Yuan nodded, and she said to several people in the distribution department.

"Is this too fast?"

The person in charge of the distribution department felt a little confused. You must know that the film was scheduled to be released in July 05, but now it has not passed the year.

"It's not too soon." Qiye shook her head and said, "I need to modify the finished film based on the audience's feedback. This test screening will not be the only one."

The Fate series of dramas have always had very serious rhythm problems. This is not only a problem with the production of Japanese animation dramas, but also a problem with some original works.

Although Seven Nights had already made major revisions to it during production, it tried to keep the movie as fast as a commercial movie.

However, the effect of this still needs to be verified by the audience.

In particular, Nanaya deleted part of the setting content in order to maintain the smoothness of the movie.

Qiye himself is not familiar with the Xingyue setting because he is already familiar with the setting of Xingyue. He thinks it is okay to delete this part, but whether passers-by and audiences will be confused by this, we need to get feedback through the preview meeting up.

In fact, the version Qiye sent to the MPAA this time did not intend to be the final version at all. He was more of a test for the MPAA, so as to understand the scale of the opponent's classification.

Not only this trial screening, Qiye plans to conduct another 2-3 rounds of trial screenings, striving to make FSN movies to the extreme.

"So, your time is very tight." Ziyuan told the person in charge of the distribution department, "Before the end of the year, you must organize a trial screening in North America and Japan, and give very detailed feedback to Qiye."

"I see."

Since even his boss said so, the person in charge of the distribution department immediately agreed.

"Then there is the promotional plan for the movie." Qiye took out another document and announced to the people present.

"Comics and novels?"

"Yes."

Qiye further explained: "The Fate series is an original IP, and we need to create as many fans as possible in the next six months to serve as the basic disk for the movie."

"Uh, won't this involve spoilers?"

An executive from Jiufeng raised his hand to express his doubts.

"The "Harry Potter" series of movies still follow the novels, and I haven't seen any impact on the box office of the movies. According to what you say, then all the adapted movies will have no chance of survival?" Ziyuan complained unceremoniously. .

"Forehead..."

The other party was speechless for a while, so he directly acted like a turtle.

Arguing with the leader is the worst thing. If you lose the quarrel, you will lose face, if you win the quarrel, you will leave.

"It's okay, I will let the comics and novels have the same characters, but the overall plot direction is completely different." Nanaya smiled and explained to everyone, "And I will mention in the comics and novels that this is different from the movie parallel world."

The manga and novel scripts mentioned by Qiye are naturally the Fate line and HF line that he abandoned and did not make into a movie.

For viewers who don't pay attention to comics and novels, there is no problem of spoilers.

Audiences who have read comics and novels will also become interested in the movie itself after learning that the movie will take a completely different direction.

No matter from which point of view, this is a sure-fire deal.

The only thing that needs to be paid attention to is the part about the real name of the heroic spirit. It cannot be revealed too early, otherwise the biggest suspense in the movie will be lost.

Therefore, comics and novels must be carried out in conjunction with the film's publicity plan.

According to Nanayo's idea, the manga adopts the Fate line and will be released as a monthly magazine from January 05, while the novel will use the relatively dark HF line, and the release time will be the same as the movie in July.

In this way, the manga serialization will only have 6 issues at most. If the rhythm is controlled, the progress of the serialization will only reach the duel between Rider and Saber at most.

The story has only just begun, and only Big Dog and Uncle B are the only ones whose real names are leaked.

The identities of these two servants were known as soon as they appeared on the stage, and it will not have any impact on the mystery of the plot.

After Qiye shared the information with the document to the Jiufeng senior executives present, no one expressed any objection.

"So authors of comics and novels, do you have any recommendations?"

After finishing the explanation, Shion asked everyone.

An executive expressed doubts: "I'm afraid it's not easy to find manga? After all, there is a huge gap between the style of manga in Europe and the United States. How about Hirohiko Araki? His style of art should be more acceptable to Europe and the United States." be taller than the others."

Qiye thought about Fate in JOJO's style for a while, and immediately shuddered.

He quickly threw out the image of Shirou yelling "Archer, I won't be a hero" to Red A in his head, and said;

"Let's forget it, let's release European and American comics separately from Japanese comics. American comics can be outsourced to Marvel, and Japanese..."

"To be determined."

Qiye couldn't figure out who to find. Nishiwaki, who was originally a manga printmaker for FSN, didn't really want to use it. After all, the style of painting is really hard to describe.

"Huh? ZUN, what's wrong with you?"

Nanaya saw someone sitting at the end of the conference room raising his hand to try to get his attention.

After being named, Ota Junya asked curiously: "Well, has anyone already chosen the author of the novel? There is someone on my side who wants to recommend it."
