Don't call me Master, call me Director

"what?"

Enkidu didn't hear Iskandar's words clearly because the TV was making a loud noise.

It turned out that when Rin was investigating the enchantment, Lancer suddenly appeared, and Archer and Lancer had a direct battle at school.

The following plot is basically the same as the movie version. Shirou, who became a witness, was killed by Lancer, and Rin rescued him with magic power.

But Lancer didn't intend to let Shirou escape, so he went directly to Wei Gong's residence.

The desperate Shirou accidentally summoned Saber and became the last Master.

"Tch, this is the end."

Seeing himself quitting Emiyazhai under Saber's coercion, Cu Chulainn pouted regretfully.

Compared to the expressions of "this guy's role is finally over" on other people's faces, Cu Chulainn wished that his fighting role could be extended for another half an hour.

Because Cu Chulainn is very clear that after the prologue of his role, there will only be a part of the alliance with the protagonist.

It can be said that it is a tragic supporting role that loses a second of the scene in the last second of the screen.

Could there be anything more tragic for Cu Chulainn?

Of course there are.

Even though the scenes are so tense, UBW is still the version with the most personal scenes of Cu Chulainn among the three FSN versions.

"Master, when will you let me be the protagonist!"

Today is still the day when Cu Chulainn did not become the protagonist.

Chapter 102 Qingzi: Isn't this the same as the movie version?

UBW's production format Shen Er adopts a 45-minute episode, 12 episodes a season, the standard quarterly TV series format.

However, Shen Er did not simply combine the two episodes of the drama version of UBW into one episode of the TV series.

The reason is simple. Usually, excluding commercials and opening and closing credits, an episode of animation is 20-25 minutes long, while a live-action TV series is about 45 minutes.

But if you summarize the plots of animation and live-action TV series, you will find that there is not much difference between the two. It is not said that TV series have twice as much plot as animation because it takes twice as long as animation.

This is the difference in style caused by the two production and creation methods, and there is no distinction between the two sides.

Although the rhythm of TV series is slower than that of animation, TV series have live performances that cannot be replaced by cartoons.

After all, no amount of fine 2D animation can reflect the delicate micro-expressions of the actors and make the audience empathize with the characters.

Of course, if the actors are a group of facial paralyzed vases, and even the lines are recited in 12345, the situation that must be dubbed later is another matter.

In this regard, 3D animation can be more realistic than 2D animation, but unless it is a 2010D animation film by Pixar after 3, there is still a gap between it and a live-action performance.

But that doesn't mean that animated episodes don't have their advantages. Animations that don't make time for actors perform fast-paced narratives.

This is why it is also an episode of more than 20 minutes, but it feels that Tokusei is much faster than animation, and even Tokusei often makes very blunt transitions due to frequent problems to reduce the audience's perception.

As a "experienced" movie watcher, Shinji certainly knows the advantages and disadvantages of live action and animation.

In fact, the reason why Shen Er was able to pack so many plots into the two live-action films he produced before is because he deliberately reduced the content of literary dramas.

Not only to save time, but also to cover up the lack of acting skills of the actors.

The UBW and HF TV series this time is also the first time that Er Ye has seriously crafted the filming of literary dramas.

The audience has not learned these professional knowledge, and they cannot clearly discover the changes, but they can indeed feel that the pace of UBW's story is slower than that of Shinji's previous two films.

It's just that this slowness is a vertical comparison with Shinji's previous works. Compared with other Japanese dramas, UBW's rhythm is still very fast.

More importantly, Japanese audiences haven't seen this kind of TV series full of special effects and fighting scenes for a long time.

Especially for the battle between Lancer and Archer, Shen Er borrowed the shooting method of "Zeta"'s crotch perspective, which can be said to be a great success. Countless viewers were shocked when they saw this fight for the first time.

In fact, not only Japanese audiences, but even European and American audiences rarely see TV dramas that put so much effort into drama.

No, if this world is used as the standard, it should be said that there is no such thing at all!

Even the rabbit viewers who grew up watching martial arts movies and the old versions of the four famous TV series are surprised by TV series like UBW.

The actors in martial arts scenes are good, but the camera work is really bad. Except for diehard fans of martial arts movies, most audiences will think that UBW's fighting scenes are more powerful.

It’s just that the audience who can see UBW now is only a small number of Internet users, and the vast majority of rabbit audiences’ memories of Fate are still in the movie version.

Snapped.

In the Jiuyuan Temple house, Youzhu turned off the TV contentedly after watching the first episode.

"Sure enough, the TV drama is so much longer than the movie, and the story can be told in more detail." Miss Youzhu nodded and said, "I didn't expect Shirou Emiya to use the first Command Seal in the first episode. Looks like it's going to change the whole story."

As early as when the TV series was announced, Shen Er emphasized that the drama version of FSN is not a cold meal for frying the movie version, but a brand new story based on the same characters.

In Youzhu's view, the difference in the ending is exactly the embodiment of this difference.

But Qingzi, whose fans are not very pure, obviously has another opinion.

"Even if a lot of plots have been added, this is still a reset of the movie version!" Qingzi pouted, "What's the difference?"

"Of course there are many differences!"

Youzhu grabbed Aoko's face with both hands, moved closer to her less than 2 centimeters, and said very seriously: "The dialogue between Rin and Archer has been added, and the character settings have been enriched. Emiya Shiro's childhood memories have been added, and the story is told. His ideal itinerary. Added the Lancer-Archer fight, and..."

"Who knows what you said! Isn't the plot the same!"

An ordinary fan like Qingzi obviously couldn't understand what the senior fan Youzhu was excited about, and was full of question marks about what his friend said.

That's right, Qingzi admits that the TV series version of FSN is good, but this cannot conceal the fact that the plot is the same as the movie version!

"Very good, Qingzi. I understand."

Seeing that Qingzi was still so stubborn and unrepentant, the corners of Youzhu's mouth rose slightly.

"What are you going to do?"

Qingzi shrank his neck subconsciously.

"Tonight, I will let you know the difference between the movie version and the TV series version!"

Youzhu took out the FSN extended version DVD that he treasured, and the video tape of the first episode of the TV series that he had just manually recorded.

"Come on, Aoko. Let's start Fate night."

Youzhu showed a cheerful smile, but in Qingzi's eyes, it turned into a smile like a ghost.

You must know that because of the prevalence of overtime culture, Japan's prime time is two hours later than other places.

Qingzi glanced at the clock hanging on the wall that had already passed 10 o'clock, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his temples.

If you really want to watch Fate Night according to Youzhu's temperament, then you won't be able to sleep until two o'clock in the morning tonight.

Thus, Qingzi, who was about to survive, yelled out his heartfelt feelings: "You Zhu, don't!"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Qingzi is not the only viewer who feels that the drama version of FSN is repetitive.

In fact, except for veteran fans like Youzhu, most of the audience who watched the movie had a weird sense of the first episode of UBW.

If you want to say that this TV series is not good, you must be talking nonsense with your eyes closed. Even if the battle between Lancer and Archer is removed, UBW is also a well-produced TV series based on the plot.

You must know that there are not many works that have been adapted into movies and TV series at the same time. Fate obviously belongs to the category of frying cold rice and creating new ideas, which can be regarded as conscientious.

But if we really want to give the first episode a high rating, most of the viewers think it's too much.

The current audience feels like those Marvel fans who watched the first episode of "What if...". You can't say that the production of the series is not good, but the fried rice is really awkward.

The audience's mentality was intuitively reflected in the ratings, and the ratings of the second episode of the TV series dropped from 2% to 40% immediately.

Because the main plot of the second episode is still not much different from the movie version, it is still Shirou who followed Rin to the church and met Illya on the way back.

The difference between the 2nd episode of the TV series and the movie version is still at the end, Shirou rejected the invitation to cooperate with Rin, resulting in a big fight between the two in the school after school the next day.

Of course, the core fans enjoyed watching it very well, and they could feel that the plot deviates from the story line of the movie version a little bit.

However, there are still more ordinary fans in this world. They feel that there is no difference between the TV series and the movie version.

Luckily UBW is free, otherwise they would have yelled "RNM, get your money back!".

In fact, 35% of the ratings is enough for other TV dramas to have a celebration party, but compared to the 40% of the first episode, it is still a lot worse.

The director of TBS approached Shen Er immediately after the results of the second episode came out, hoping that he would think of a way.

"What can I do?! The TV series are finished!"

Er Ye didn't take the TV station's request for help to heart at all.

Long before the TV series aired, Shen Er guessed that UBW's early ratings would drop.

There is no way, the film version and the TV series version are too similar in the early plot.

That's why Shen Er would ask that you have to spend money to buy discs to watch HF - HBO is a pay TV station, and you have to spend money to watch it.

Because only fans who spend money will seriously watch HF, instead of worrying about why the beginning is still the same.

Humans are amazing animals. If HF is shown for free, they will wonder why they have to watch the beginning of FSN for the third time.

He would even choose Yanshang, blowing Shen's two heads away.

But if they spend money, they don’t complain so much, they only compare the difference between HF and the other two versions, and then tell others that they have earned it.

As for the director of TBS, Shen Er only replied calmly: "As long as the show continues, the ratings will naturally rise. Persevering to the end is victory!"

The production and editing of UBW has already been completed, and Shinji has no plans to modify it at all.

When making UBW, Shen Er edited according to the standard feature film, and making rash changes will disrupt the rhythm of the story and affect the viewing experience of the audience.

Shen Er decided to finish the TV series before broadcasting, because he was afraid that the audience's feedback would affect the production of his subsequent series.

After the TV series is broadcast, going back to the furnace and rebuilding is like changing generals before a battle, which is a taboo for military strategists.

Of course, what the second master said is not nonsense, he believes that as the story of UBW unfolds, the audience will definitely come back to watch the TV series.

Fate's IP influence is still there, otherwise the first broadcast ratings would not be as high as 40%.

As long as there is a deviation in the development of the story, curious audiences will naturally follow the drama again.

Because UBW's biggest plot breakout point is in the middle - Red A's real identity is Shirou.

Shen Er believes that as long as Red A's real name is revealed, there will definitely be discussions among countless fans.

At that time, Shen Er will set off a wave of enthusiasm through the major media, and those audiences who have abandoned the drama will definitely come back to watch the drama obediently.

Chapter 103 Shen Er: What is an international popular film and television drama? (Tactical back)

Emiya House, the living room.

Shirou flipped through the entertainment pages of the latest newspaper, with a slight sadness on his face.

"The second episode's ratings dropped to 35%, and this time the third episode dropped to 28%...it can't go on like this." Shirou sighed.

In the third episode of UBW broadcast yesterday, the content of the plot is from Shirou and Rin's after-school battle to Saber killing Liudong Temple at night.

If you want to find the difference between the movie and the TV series, you can find out a lot in the third episode, but if you briefly summarize the plot, you will find that there is not much difference from the movie version.

Looking at it this way, it is not surprising that UBW ratings have dropped again.

After watching this episode, several fans left words such as "If this change is a so-called completely different story, then Shinji Matou has disappointed me!"

While the Internet facilitates people's communication, it also makes it easier to follow the rhythm.

In the past, some people needed to follow the rhythm and release announcements on major media platforms, and then a little bit of hype.

But on the Internet, as long as there is traffic, a wave of rhythm can be brought about. It doesn't even need "a picture for the opening, and the content can be edited casually", just a few words can set up a wave of rhythm.

There is no doubt that the rhythm of UBW has been brought up. Although Matou Shinji's fan group headed by Yuju continued to refute, there is still an endless stream of bad-mouthing UBW voices.

In the Japanese entertainment industry, unless it is a movie with a box office of more than [-] billion, the influence of the popular TV series is higher.

Seeing UBW's ratings continue to drop, Shirou began to feel a little anxious.

Although Shirouzhi is not here and has no plans to develop in the entertainment industry, the failure of his own works is also the ending he does not want to see.

"Shinji said that as long as the broadcast is in the second half, it will rebound, but if it falls at this rate, there may be no room for rebound."

Shirou opened another newspaper, which still contained negative news about UBW.

Since the ratings of the second episode dropped, the Japanese media were all blown away.
