Don't call me Master, call me Director

Even in North America, Time Group is also coyly playing "Mebius" in non-prime files.

Compared with Tsuburaya's one-sidedness, Shinji cleverly asked Times Group to review "Mebius" as a youth drama, thereby bypassing many restrictions on violence.

Although the target audience may be unclear in terms of publicity, at least the advertisement has been advertised.

For Shinji and Tsuburaya, it is more important for the IP of Ultraman to stand on the land of America than how many people watch "Mebius".

However, no matter how powerful the promotion in North America is, it's just an addition, and it's just to help Shen Er promote the glasses-free 3D.

The area that Shen Er wants to promote and publicize is still the rabbit market next door that he has been thinking about.

However, unlike the main promotion of "Mebius" in other regions, this is the market that Er Ye attaches the most importance to, and he focuses on promoting the Heisei Three Heroes.

There is no way, because of various reasons on the rabbit side, the promotion of Ultraman has been out of touch with other places for an era.

When children in other countries and regions are watching the Heisei Three Heroes on TV, the children of Rabbit have just come into contact with the Seven Showa Series (from the first generation to Eddie).

It was not until last year in 04 that the first work of the Heisei series "Tiga" was officially introduced to the rabbit market.

What Tsuburaya thought at the time was to introduce one first to see the response, and if the audience was popular, then find a way to introduce the rest of the Heisei series Ultraman.

I have to say that the work "Tiga" is indeed very good. It is obviously a work 8 years ago, but it is still very good even in 04. Whether it is the plot or the special effects, it is completely impossible to tell that it is a work of the last century.

Naturally, Tiga also replaced Ultraman Showa and became the new generation of heroes of light for children in mainland China.

However, just as Tsuburaya was preparing to continue the glory of "Tiga" and launch "Dyna" in the mainland, the policy change directly made their plan come to naught.

According to Rabbit's new regulations on the introduction of TV dramas in 05, Japanese animation was directly prohibited from being imported into China.

And it is not only 2D animation that is banned, but even special photos such as Ultraman and Kamen Rider are also included in the ranks of animation works.

Then there is no more then.

Anyway, Shen Er remembered that he was able to play computer freely until the end of the college entrance examination, and only then learned about Heisei series works other than Tiga from the Internet.

But at that time, even the big monster fighting (Zero) movie "Super Galactic Legend" was released.

In this world, Tsuburaya has an advantage that other parallel worlds do not have—they have the talented director Shinji Matou.

Although Shen Er's last film Fate/Zero did not win the film championship in 04, he ranked third with a score of 1 million RMB.

But you must know that Fate/Zero is an imported movie with only one month of screening time. The two higher-grossing films are domestic films, and their screening time is at least twice that of Fate/Zero.

In addition, FSN, which was delayed for almost two years, also achieved a good result of 6000 million RMB.

With such achievements as a foundation, Shen Er's weight in the eyes of the relevant departments of the rabbit has somewhat increased.

In fact, FSN's box office results can be higher, but unfortunately most viewers have already watched the pirated version, and have no interest in watching it again on the big screen.

This situation also shows the necessity of promoting 3D movies in the Rabbit market, because the copyright is not strict enough. If you want to let the audience buy tickets and enter the movie theater, you must provide them with incomparable advantages when watching movies at home.

Shen Er's idea is not too much. With the help of the box office of the two Fate films, he wants to find a way to make the other two films of Heisei Sanjie be able to be introduced smoothly.

If there is only one "Tiga", it is really not conducive to the promotion of "Super 8".

And Shen Er knew very well that he and Johnny would probably have a falling out after the film cooperation ended, and Hiroshi Nagano, the car accident hero, would definitely become a legend on the Rabbit Internet.

Take advantage of this final juncture to introduce "Dyna" and "Gaia", so that Asuka Shin and Takayama Womeng, like Yuan Dagu, will become the childhood memories of this generation of children.

In this way, it will be much more convenient for Tsuburaya to carry out publicity in the future.

After all, Matou Kariya and Yoshioka Takeshi are much better and cheaper than Yuan Dagu.

Especially for the second uncle Kariya, Tsuburaya might be able to prostitute him for nothing.

Having said that, whether "Dyna" and "Gaia" will eventually be introduced to Shinji is not sure.

Even Shen Er, who has lived his whole life, can't guess what the big man above thinks.

In order to prevent the worst from happening, Shen Er deliberately made other preparations.

If it is confirmed that "Dyna" and "Gaia" cannot be introduced, Shinji will ask Tsuburaya to talk directly with the local TV station.

Ask the local TV station to arrange the production of a program called "Introduction to Excellent Foreign Special Films", and then broadcast "Dyna" and "Gaia" in the name of introduction, skipping the review directly.

Of course, this kind of loophole behavior will be stopped sooner or later, but at that time the first wave of promotion has already been completed, and the key "Super 8" is almost released, so it doesn't matter if Erye can't be banned.

As for the next thing, the almighty Internet will help Shen Er solve most of the promotion problems.

In short, in order to make the IP of Altman popular in the rabbit market, Shen Er has put in a lot of thought, and he has thought through all the legal and non-compliant methods.

The purpose is to reduce the difficulty of publicity when "Super 8" is released next year.

After entering August, the shooting of "Super 8" came to an end.

Shen Er took all the crew members into a western-style bar in Fuyuki City to shoot the last set of shots - the scene of the dinner between the old and the new.

The reason why this group of shots is put at the end is because this group of shots is the most complete scene that the crew and actors have to participate in except for the final battle, which is quite commemorative.

Moreover, the finished set does not need to be tidied up, it can be directly turned into the venue for the crew's finale party.

"Brother, I don't know if you are the greatest director in the world, but you are definitely the most stingy director."

In the bar, Sakura, who followed Shinji to check the set, complained directly.

"I call it frugal. If you really want to be stingy, please go out and turn left to find Dongying."

Shinji said nonchalantly.

He turned a corner, pointed to the "delicious food" that was being put on the table by the staff, and said, "If I'm really stingy, would I make these delicacies alone?"

Sakura snorted coldly: "It's all fake food, isn't that called stingy?"

Shen Er rolled his eyes at the ceiling: "The set has been set up for so long, if the color of real food is used, it would have been wrong. I did this to make the effect look better."

"But it's still fake after all." Sakura poked a plate of "fried chicken" with her hands and complained.

Shinji pinched Sakura's cheek: "You're not Arturia, why are you so greedy?"

However, Shen Er still added a sentence: "If you really want to eat, don't worry, when the filming is over, real food will naturally be served."

"I think Artoria will like it."

Sakura said dubiously, her gaze was already looking towards the back kitchen, as if she wanted to know what delicious food would be waiting.

Shinji shook his head helplessly, touched Sakura's head with his hand and asked, "Sakura, are you interested in guest appearances?"

"Cameo?"

Sakura raised her eyebrows and asked happily, "What kind of cameo? Are there any lines?"

"It's like this." Shen Er pointed to the entire bar, "Because it's the last scene, so except for those who must participate in the shooting, I plan to let everyone in the crew participate in this set of shots."

"Employees from other departments, including props and scenery, will become extras. You have named an intern on the crew, do you want to participate in the filming as well?"

After hearing Shinji's explanation, Sakura, who was originally in high spirits, was a little unhappy: "Does that mean I'm just a humanoid prop?"

"Yes."

"There are no lines, no close-up shots, the kind that can't be seen at all in the crowd?"

"It shouldn't be completely unrecognizable. My dear, you are still very conspicuous in the crowd."

Saying that, Shinji glanced at her up and down.

Sakura lowered her head, looked at the area below her head, and said with a little distress: "That's right, I seem to be growing too fast."

"You should restrain yourself a bit, Sakura." Shinji reminded slightly tactfully.

Accumulating all the fat on the chest and butt is something that only a heroic spirit like Gundam can do. As an ordinary person, Sakura is already at a certain critical value.

"Careless." Sakura patted herself on the face, "I have been eating with Artoria and Rider sister, completely forgetting that they are heroic spirits who will not get fat no matter how much they eat."

"Brother, do you have any magic tricks to lose weight?" Sakura asked expectantly.

Shen Er hit Sakura on the head with a knife: "How can there be such a convenient thing, give me a good exercise!"

"Brother bullies people!"

After Sakura gave Shinji two symbolic blows with her small fist, she pulled Artoria and Medusa away from the set, apparently going for a run.

"boss."

Shen Er's little secretary reminded in a low voice: "Isn't there a technique to use magic power to burn fat? Why didn't you tell Ms. Sakura?"

"That would be of no educational significance." Shen Er smiled, "As an elder brother, I should guide my younger sister to form the correct three views. This is the expression of my elder brother's love for my younger sister."

"Shinji, what's on your mind?"

Shiro asked softly.

"Of course it's to play with my sister who always takes my pocket money."

"Hey... I don't know why Ms. Sakura has been staring at your pocket money, the boss."

Hearing this, the little secretary sighed behind Shen Er's back.

Chapter 137 Artoria: Master, this is the only one that won't work!

Sakura didn't return to the bar until the evening, and seeing her panting, it seemed that she ran around the area.

Shen Er didn't care where his sister went, he just admired the way Sakura was blushing and gasping for breath.

Then, before Sakura reacted and went crazy, he found an assistant and asked him to take Sakura to the makeup team to report.

Then he continued to work with the little secretary and turned around in the bar to check whether the set arrangement was complete.

Because it was the last scene, and the filming was a cheerful plot, the entire crew members were very relaxed, talking and laughing, waiting for the start of the filming task.

The sun was getting lower and lower, sinking into the horizon, and the dim yellow sky was gradually darkening.

When it was completely dark, the crew members sat in their seats according to the request Shinji had given before, and surrounded Hiroshi Nagano, Kariya Matou and Takeshi Yoshioka in the center.

Showa's handsome old men and beautiful aunts walked on the stage in front of the bar.

The old men picked up the musical instruments they are good at for the final adjustment, and the aunts put on their hula skirts and exercised their muscles and bones.

The combined age of these people on the stage is probably older than the time when the clock tower was established. If something happens to them, it will really kill them.

Therefore, even if she chooses a relatively soothing hula dance, Shen Er has repeatedly told her to avoid any accidents.

All the lights in the bar where the banquet was held had been turned on, in stark contrast to the night outside.

Everything is ready, just waiting for the shooting to start.

Although there are many actors involved in this scene, Shen Er doesn't need to worry too much.

At first, except for a few leading actors, the other crew members only need to listen to the singing of uncles and aunts, and pretend to be eating by the way.

Secondly, before today's filming, the uncles and aunts have already gone through several rehearsals, and they are very familiar with the stage lyrics.

"The props are ready!"

"Lighting is ready!"

"Scene preparation OK!"

"The photography team is ready!"

......

After all the departments reported, Shinji, who was sitting in the crowd, gestured.

The bartender brother who temporarily acted as the recorder took the record card to the main camera.

"Super 8, the final shot...shooting now!"

The boom close to the ceiling of the bar began to slide, and the main camera hanging above scanned the bar from a bird's-eye view, and finally fixed on the aunts on the stage.

"Aloha~Aloha~Aloha~"

"Wau I a oe~"

"I swear to the floating clouds that I will go to the ends of the earth with you~"

......

With the slightly noisy bar as the background, the uncles and aunts are facing the camera and began to sing the movie's interlude song "渴の梦".

Everyone on the set watched the performances of the uncles and aunts fascinatedly, with happy smiles on their faces.

This is not everyone's acting skills, but they really like this kind of performance.

Many people know that the third brother likes musical movies. In fact, there are not a few people in Japan who like musical movies. It is not an exaggeration to say that musical movies are the type of movies that will be sold in Japan.

It can be seen from the fact that Japanese animation theater versions often add some singing and dancing.
