Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 170: Chapter 167 Tokyo Bay is a good place



Nanaya was not lying, adding more magic scenes was indeed his idea.

However, in "Remaining Sense of Pain", the fight between two women with abnormal eyes is more about the fight, which is the biggest highlight of "Remaining Sense of Pain".

The duels between magicians and the fist-to-fist fights will all be presented in the third part, "Paradox Spiral".

But even so, it does not mean that there is no melee combat in "Remaining Sense of Pain". Ryougi Shiki's gorgeous fighting style needs to be shown to the audience through her dagger swinging.

The special effects action scenes are undoubtedly a major selling point of the movie "Kara", and it is also the most important point that cannot be ignored.

Therefore, the day after the press conference, Nanaya brought the crew to Tokyo Bay and began filming the scenes at the dock.

The first battle between Fujino and Ryougi Shiki will take place here.

"Seeing is believing. This place does look like a very suitable place to destroy corpses and cover up traces."

Looking at the somewhat dark sea water, Nanaya sighed in the sea breeze.

"I heard that you were going to stay here. Do you want to go and see which seat down there is more comfortable?"

Shiki said with a smile, he stretched out his hands and made a gesture as if to push Nanaya.

"Stop it."

Nanaya pushed away Shiki's dirty hands and shouted to the action director of the movie, Master Li: "Old Li, are you ready?"

Li Wenshu's red pineapple hair is very conspicuous in the crowd and can be seen almost at a glance.

"Not yet, probably another 15 minutes. The wind is stronger than I thought, I need to reinforce the equipment!"

After hearing Nanaya's cry, Li Wenshu looked up and yelled at Nanaya.

Because of the strong wind at the seaside, Master Li had to speak very loudly.

"Okay." Nanaya pressed the intercom, "Sister Katsura, tell the girls that the shooting will start in 15 minutes. Before that, don't let them leave the dressing room."

"Received."

Katsura Mamako's answer came over the radio.

"I really don't understand you. Can't you just set up the set in the studio?"

Shiki ruffled his hair, and the seaside wind turned his Shamatte hairstyle into a chicken coop swaying in the wind.

"Why do you have to come here to suffer the wind?!"

"You can leave if you can't stand it. No one is asking you to stay."

Nanaya snorted.

Shiki refused outright, "No way, I want to observe Miss Yukari closely, only in this way can I create the best script!"

"Listen, if you dare to attack my actors..."

"You're going to kill me, right?" Shiki took over the conversation, "I won't ask for trouble. Her aunt will kill me."

[You keep calling Yoshinaga Sayuri Auntie, won't she kill you? ]

Nanaya thought with a pain in his balls.

For the scene at the dock, the close-ups will definitely be completed in the studio, but some medium and long shots still need to be shot on location.

After editing "Goblin Slayer", Nanaya had already mastered the coordination of this kind of shots and editing.

As for whether the action scenes of "Remaining Sense of Pain" are worthy of Nanaya's editing, Nanaya is not worried about this at all.

The action scenes of "Remaining Sense of Pain" and "Paradox Spiral" will be designed by Li Wenshu.

Nanaya has great confidence in the ability of this core action director of Tsuburaya.

The two of them had worked together once before in "Magical Girl Illya" and were very familiar with each other's characteristics.

In particular, Lao Li comes from a martial arts family, so incorporating martial arts postures into the actions of movie characters is already a piece of cake for Li Wenshu.

In the early 21st century, although Hollywood began to change the style of action movies under the influence of "The Matrix", the change was not very thorough.

Many action scenes still retain the previous clumsy and straightforward style.

Although the fist-fighting style looks more realistic, it is indeed not as gorgeous and smooth as kung fu movies.

In fact, the East Asian cultural circle, including Japan, has always been extremely fond of martial arts films and kung fu films.

Thinking about the fact that Uncle Lung has always been a popular figure in Japan, it also shows how popular Kung Fu movies are.

Even in 2002, "Shaolin Soccer" earned 2.8 billion yen at the box office in Japan.

Although this result is not as good as some Hollywood movies, it is still better than Japanese live-action movies.

If it weren't for Nanaya's "Godzilla", the highest-grossing Japanese live-action movie in history in 2002 would have been the special effects movie "Godzilla" which earned 2.71 billion.

So...Japanese live-action movies can be completely dead.

However, Nanaya does not intend to turn Asagami Fujino and Ryougi Shiki into martial arts masters. Although the battle between the girls is gorgeous, this gorgeousness is more achieved by special effects.

"Since Ryougi Shiki has received training, her movements need to be more nimble."

After Li Wenshu finished setting up the scene, Nanaya gave him the final instructions before filming.

"But Asagami Fujino is different. She has no training, so her movements need to be more direct. You can let her have a bit of a beastly aura."

"So you're just fighting on instinct?"

Li Wenshu asked thoughtfully.

Nanaya was stunned for a moment, then agreed randomly: "Yes, after all, she is a weak girl, so the only weapon she can use is her eyes."

"Also." Nanaya added at the end: "This is just the first battle between Ryougi Shiki and Asagami Fujino, and both sides are just testing each other. So I will keep this scene for about 5 minutes in the end, remember to pay attention to the time when you shoot."

In the original movie version, the two girls really just tested each other and that was it.

In order to consider the structure and rhythm of the script, Nanaya appropriately extended the fighting time between Fujino and Shiki.

Of course, in terms of purpose, this is still just an exploratory battle, so it won't last too long.

Li Wenshu nodded carefully and assured, "Don't worry, I won't make the show too long. A five-minute fight is enough."

For the action scenes in "Remaining Sense of Pain" and "Spiral", Nanaya basically let Li Wenshu take charge.

This is Nanaya's training for Lao Li. If Lao Li can satisfy Nanaya, he will naturally become the action director of FSN.

Compared to "Kara", FSN will have more action scenes and will be more difficult.

After all, each character in FSN has its own distinctive fighting method and style, so this will be a huge and arduous project.

Although Hollywood action directors are now slowly beginning to accept the influence of Eastern Kung Fu films, it took until after 2008 for their style to completely change.

Before this, although Hollywood action movies had grand scenes, the aesthetics of the fights were indeed average.

Although there are masterpieces like "The Matrix", Nanaya still prefers to use his own people.

If Li Wenshu can meet the standards, Nanaya will support him to take the position without hesitation.

From this point of view, the two sequels of "Kara" are still somewhat experimental films, and can be regarded as a precursor to FSN.

So after the filming started, Nanaya retreated to the second line.

When Li Wenshu was producing the shots, Nanaya would sit in the director's chair to control the overall situation.

Except when Li Wenshu made a mistake, Nanaya would call for a stop. There was only one reason why Nanaya would speak at other times - that beast Shiki was hindering the filming again.

Like most action movies nowadays, Li Wenshu divided this plot into countless short shots during filming.

The actors would stop after completing a few moves and then complete the next take.

Moreover, in order to facilitate shooting, some shots may not be connected smoothly. It is possible that Fujino has the upper hand in the previous shot, and in the next shot she is about to fall to the ground.

From the perspective of editing process, the next shot may be separated from the previous shot by several minutes.

Such an incoherent shooting process made the actors feel uncomfortable, especially the newcomers who were filming a movie for the first time.

However, there is no way around it. After all, these actors did not practice martial arts since childhood like those kung fu superstars.

Only fragmented editing can conceal the fact that these actors are not good at action scenes.

Even in some key shots, stunt actors were needed to help complete specific actions.

In fact, it is not just Nanaya's "Kara no Kyoukai". Action movies all over the world have this trend, even the kung fu movies next door are the same.

After all, the quality of actors is getting worse and worse, and if we don't do this, the movie shots will only become a mess.

For example, in the movie "Fast & Furious Hobbs & Shaw", all the action scenes in the entire movie are unusually short.

Basically, there will not be more than two actions in one shot before it switches to the next shot.

Nanaya could hardly think of any other reason for such frequent switching, other than to cover up the actors' inadequate movements.

Because this goes far beyond the scope of film style.

Of course, shorter shots cannot be said to be a bad thing. At least it conforms to the trend of faster and faster film pace.

If possible, Nanaya certainly hopes that his actors have the best appearance, figure, acting skills and skills.

But as the saying goes - dreams contain everything.

However, the reality is that there is no such perfect actor in this world, at least not in Nanaya's hands.

The heroine Ryougi Shiki is very pretty, and her figure is... just so-so. Although not as good as those girls with melons hanging from their chests, she is still outstanding among Oriental people.

His acting is only so-so, and he barely passes the test thanks to his compatibility with the character of "Ryougi Shiki".

However, this girl's skills couldn't be worse.

Although this was not Ryougi Shiki's own fault, in order to make the shot look as good as possible, Nanaya and Li Wenshu had no choice but to torment this girl a little more.
