Don't call me Master, call me Director

In this regard, Yoshimoto Takami, who plays Dagu's girlfriend, feels the deepest.

"Why do I feel like I'm a third party to you?"

During the shooting interval, Takami Yoshimoto looked at Hiroshi Nagano and Hayato Igarashi and joked.

The two men were a little embarrassed, and at the same time they looked at Mr. Director, who was checking the finished filming, with a look that dared not speak out.

"What are you looking at?" Shen Er stared back, "Igarashi, the attribute of Heaven's Fall, is replaced by the proper female lead in other movies."

"Director! How can you say such a thing..."

Hayato Igarashi, who hadn't become fat enough to be "an ungraspable future", almost cried out of anxiety after hearing Shinji's ridicule.

As the protagonist of Tsuburaya's latest Ultraman series, it's hard enough to be robbed of the protagonist in this movie that was supposed to be the theatrical version of Mebius, but the director said so, he was about to die in Bengbu .

But before Takami Yoshimoto could laugh, Shinji's next words almost broke her defense.

"Actually, if it wasn't for Lina and Dagu CP being bound together in the TV series, the heroine of this movie should be the girl with red shoes. So, Lina, you are not the third party, but the fourth party."

"Hey! Can the director still calculate like this?!"

"Aren't you willing to be the heroine these days without falling from the sky?"

The second master's reply is always so righteous.

Then, he was despised by the three actors.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After shooting the scenes of Mirai and the "brothers", Shen Er did not continue to shoot, but started to shoot the scene of Dagu riding a bicycle to work at the beginning of the movie.

Movie shooting in most cases does not follow the order of the storyline.

It is the method that most crews will use to shoot a set scene at one time regardless of the sequence of the plot, and then move to the next scene.

This is mostly to get the most out of the set.

After all, setting work is quite troublesome.Doing the same set-up for a scene over and over can be a serious waste.

Every time a scene is set, multiple shots are shot, and it is best to use it all at once.

Especially those outdoor locations usually need to pay rent by the day, so they are naturally used intensively, and it is better to rent as little as possible.

Although the Fuyuki City Government will help Shen Er secure the venue, the crew still has to pay for the rent.

Shen Er is not a paranoid like James Cameron, who will completely ignore the cost and time to make a movie.

The late-stage director of obsessive-compulsive disorder, but because of a trademark of White Star Company that the audience couldn't see at all, he just spent more than 100 million US dollars to re-order the existence of a complete set of tableware.

If it were Shinji, he would probably just use the tableware from Matou's house instead.

Therefore, even though he worshiped Kashen very much, Shen Er never thought of becoming like the other party. Cost control has always been an important indicator Shen Er pursued.

It's as if the story of "Super 8" obviously took place in Yokohama, but Shinji's filming was all done in Fuyuki.

Even if it was filming the exterior scenes of actors with human bodies, Er Ye had no plans to go to Yokohama.

After all, Yokohama is an important city within the Tokyo metropolitan area, and the rent for location locations is really not cheap.

Anyway, Fuyuki City is also a port city, and no one will see it if it simulates Yokohama.

Of course, the simulation here refers to the close-up shots. When the long-range shots of Ultraman vs. monsters, some landmark buildings in Yokohama will still appear.

Fortunately, at this time, there is no need for real shots, but the classic shooting link of special dramas-the battle stage set.

"So, this matter is up to you two."

Facing the bewildered Shirou and Hong A, Shinji put one hand on one's shoulder and encouraged with a smile.

"Matou Shinji, are you fucking kidding me?"

Red A scolded her mother very rudely.

Because Shen Er made an extremely outrageous request - asking the two of them to project the buildings of the battle stage one by one.

"Wouldn't it be better if people make props for this kind of thing?"

"Most buildings will definitely do that, but some key buildings still need projection."

Shen Er shook his fingers and said, "First of all, in terms of accuracy, the model is definitely not as detailed as the projection, especially when it comes to interior decoration."

"Secondly, the speed of making buildings by projection is much faster than making models."

"Also, you can control the overall intensity of the projected buildings, so that it will be easier to destroy the buildings when shooting fights."

"Finally, it is also the most important thing. The buildings you projected have magical powers. When the time comes to show, those destroyed fragments will appear on the screen very well."

Hearing Shen Er's great truth, Shirou sighed helplessly: "When this movie is finished, my inherent barrier will not become an infinite building system, will it?"

He could already imagine the scene where his inner world was full of buildings.

Chapter 125 Why Advertise Without Money?

Although Red A and Shirou were assigned the job of Master Builder in Yokohama City, they were not due to take up the post so soon.

After all, the time to shoot Ultraman battles has yet to come.

Red A will continue to endure the torment of Master Li, while Shirou will go to Yokohama with the location crew to shoot scenes.

Of course, the film crew went to shoot the scenery of Yokohama, and then seamlessly edited it into the movie.

And Shirou is going to analyze the buildings in Yokohama, so that he and Hong A can project in the future.

Just like when two people fight in UBW, when Shirou and Red A are in physical contact, both parties can share related memories.

Therefore, even if Red A can't go to Yokohama City, he can still obtain information about related buildings.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

In short, with the various departments of the crew starting to operate, the filming of "Super 8" has officially started.

As the main stage of the story line, Yokohama will definitely have a lot of roles in the movie.

You must know that the movie "Super 8" is not only the second theatrical version of Ultraman Mebius, but also the commemoration of the 150th anniversary of the opening of Yokohama.

This is why Dagu works as a staff member of the Yokohama Tourism Bureau in the movie, just to give more shots of Yokohama's tourist attractions.

It's kind of like Peter Jackson in "The Lord of the Rings" deliberately taking more pictures of the scenery in order to show the scenery of New Zealand.

But the original "Super 8" was released in 2008, but now it is in 2005. It is a bit unreasonable to commemorate the 150th anniversary now.

Others didn't know that they thought Er Ye was casting a spell to curse Yokohama Port's 150th birthday.

Therefore, Shen Er will not add so many shots of Yokohama attractions, but instead leave enough time for the movie plot and fighting.

More importantly, Yokohama didn't pay Shen Er for advertising, so Erye naturally didn't need to advertise it.

However, some landmark buildings in Yokohama will still appear in the movie, not for advertising, but for destruction.

Destroying iconic buildings is also a common practice in commercial movies, the most famous being the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco.

As a commercial director, Shen Er must of course satisfy the audience's desire for destruction, so destruction such as the collapse of various buildings in the movie is essential.

However, no matter what kind of monster Shinji uses and what method he uses to tear down Yokohama City, that will be a matter for later.

The current studio is shooting the scene of Dagu transforming into Dijia in the ruins.

Of course, the so-called ruins are not real city ruins, but scenes made of foam.

The material after shooting is not a finished film, and part of the CG rendering will be performed later to achieve the ideal state in Shen Er's mind.

Shen Er has always had high requirements for the post-production of movies, so the post-production has always been the bulk of his energy and time.

Unlike the previous shootings of FSN and FZ, this time Shinji does not plan to put the post-production CG special effects in Tsuburaya.

On the one hand, it is because Tsuburaya is still working on the post-production special effects of the TV version of "Ultraman Mebius", and I am afraid that he will not be able to support the production of special effects for the theatrical version.

On the other hand, because the special effects processing this time will involve magic processing, there will be many places where magic is used.

Handing over to Tsuburaya for production is not conducive to the development of these post-work.

What's more, compared to Tsuburaya, which is far away in Tokyo, the post-Xingyue studio in Fuyuki City is obviously more convenient, and there is no need to look far away.

It also left the second master speechless. The Xingyue Film Post-production Studio in Fuyuki City has received several orders since its opening, but the owner of the studio has not even let the studio participate in the production of a movie.

This not only made Shen Er wonder why he set up this studio in the first place, but to benefit other film crews filming in Fuyuki City?

While it would be good for Shinji to put all the film production in Fuyuki City, it might not be good for others.

After all, in the past, those companies in Tokyo came to Shinji for business, and just waited for him to communicate when he came to Tokyo.

But now, they had to send people to Fuyuki City to communicate.

No, now Shen Er met the representative of TBS TV station who came to find him on the set.

The other party first brought good news to the second master.

In fact, Shen Er doesn't think this is good news, but more like nonsense-UBW has been completely popular.

At present, the broadcast of UBW is coming to an end. Except for the eighth episode, which took advantage of the vacation, the ratings of the next few episodes are also above 40%.

In the Japanese drama circle, this can be said to be a phenomenal figure.

Not only in Japan, UBW has also reached 1700 million viewers in North America.

It even boosted a small wave of HBO subscriptions.

Because all fans know that HF ​​will be aired on HBO, a premium TV station, after UBW is over.

TBS is not in control of North American affairs, but their emphasis on UBW has reached the highest level of TV stations.

I can't help it, the life of TBS has been really rough in the past few years, and the last time there was such a popular drama was the last time.

This is not nonsense, but the time is so long that even TBS itself forgot the last glorious moment.

Therefore, this time UBW can let the whole station of TBS relive their old dreams, and once again experience the addiction of crushing the ratings of other TV stations, everyone is very happy.

And Shirou and Red A, who played the leading role and male number two in the crew, were also completely popular.

This pair of "myself" who fell in love and killed each other on the TV screen has become idols sought after by countless people in reality.

Although the fans of Shiro and Red A are not as fanatical as Diarmuid, the fans of both of them are attracted by the plot of the TV series, so the coverage is wider.

Especially Emiya Shiro, because of his very different performance in the movie version and the TV series version, Fate fans are divided into two parties: the movie and the TV series.

The two fan factions naturally dislike each other, and even often quarrel, but the conflict between them has not yet reached a very serious level.

This is mainly due to the existence of a third-party force - the Shilang * Red A Party.

All film and television works that have a wonderful showdown between two heroes will often give birth to supporters who use the two as the CP combination.

UBW is no exception.

Even, because the duel between Shirou and Red A was too exciting, and the combination of "I*Myself" was too wonderful, the CP party of Shirou*Red A was too powerful and separated from the TV drama party out.

Because UBW is so popular, TBS staff specially came to find Shinji, hoping to extend the plot, the whole second season of UBW or something.

"Mr. Shinji." The representative of TBS persuaded bitterly, "UBW is so popular, why don't you consider changing the ending and continuing with the previous season?"

The situation of sequels due to the fire not only happened in the American drama circle, but also in the Japanese drama circle, and it can even be said to be a tradition.

For example, a late-night drama that became popular because of middle-aged men's eating and broadcasting has continued to its ninth season.

It's a pity that Shen Er doesn't intend to abide by the tradition in this circle.

"Even if I amend the ending, it doesn't make any sense. The Holy Grail War has come to an end anyway. The ratings may not be too bad if we continue to write the plot, but it's just a continuation."

Shen Er looked at the other party and asked back: "Didn't we plan to have only one season?"

"That's right!"

The representative of TBS nodded, but then he said unwillingly: "But in the end, we didn't expect UBW to be so popular at the beginning. It's a bit of a hot drama to end in one season... .”

"This is the charm of the Fate story. Because it is the Holy Grail War, there must be a result. It is not like other film and television dramas that can develop indefinitely."

Shen Er said with a smile: "I think this is very good. A story that ends just right is far more impressive than those that never end."

"That's right..." The representative of TBS scratched his head, "But there are many stories to tell besides the Holy Grail War, right? For example, how Emiya Shiro became Archer."

"That's a whole different story."

Shinji shrugged.

"As far as UBW is concerned, the end of one season is just right. Forcing to continue writing will only make the story collapse and eventually lead to a decline in word of mouth."

"For me personally," Shen Er continued, "I'm more concerned with the reputation of Heavy Moon Studio in the field of TV dramas. As for the money-making TV dramas, that's a matter of later."
