If there is one thing that Nanaya has improved the most in since coming to New Zealand, it is definitely English.
Although Washimine brought several translators, it was not as convenient as speaking by yourself. Especially for the director's industry, which is full of curse words, some curse words would lose a little flavor when translated by others.
So in just a few months, Nanaya mastered spoken English.
As God knows, Nanaya has always been bad at English. He has never passed English since junior high school in his previous life, and sometimes he even got a single-digit score.
When Nanaya graduated from university in his previous life, he only got a diploma and not a degree certificate because he failed the CET-4.
It was not until two years after graduation that the school relaxed the English requirement for the degree certificate from CET-4 to a school-self-test. Nanaya was able to get his degree certificate with the help of a school teacher.
In this life, Nanaya studied so hard during his student days, and most of his time was spent on English.
But even so, his English was just good enough to not lag behind.
This work trip to New Zealand cured Nanaya's long-standing English problem, which made Nanaya think of a sentence -
People are forced to do things.
However, no matter how much Nanaya's English improves, it is still not as good as that of other people in the crew.
For example, ZUN, the old drunkard, no one knows what kind of evil magic this guy has, but he is very familiar with most of the actors on the set.
Then, this guy started to encourage Nanaya to add some private stuff, such as using real alcohol instead of prop drinks on the set.
"I really believed your lies. If I had known, I would not have used alcohol. But now the set is full of drunkards!"
Nanaya complained to ZUN.
"What does it matter?" Ota Shunya was quite open-minded. "No one is drunk anyway."
This is true, otherwise Nanaya would never just complain a few words and leave it at that.
Nanaya snorted coldly and walked into a slightly smaller studio nearby.
This place was originally decorated with the interior of the Prancing Pony Inn in "The Lord of the Rings", but it has now been changed into an adventure guild by the "Goblin Slayer" crew.
After reconfirming that there were no problems with the set, Nanaya directed the staff on site to carry out the final preparations before filming.
"Come here, you guys."
Nanaya waved to the actors and said, "Are you all clear about the camera positions later?"
"no problem."
Luvia was the first to say that it was okay, and then the other actors nodded.
Rin, who was standing at the back, just made a gesture. It wasn't that she was pretending to be cool, but she was playing an elf with special skin makeup on her face.
Unless it is necessary to put on makeup, she basically adheres to the principle of not talking if possible, so as to avoid problems with her makeup.
"Very good, let's get started."
Nanaya said no more and started filming.
The crew's daily costs are very high, so he has to hurry up.
The scene being filmed now is the shot where the elf, dwarf and lizard trio talk to the counter lady. It is also the first scene that takes place in the Adventurer's Guild.
"Then, let's get started!"
As the clapperboard sounded.
Rin raised his hand and hit the counter.
Bang!
"…"
There was a long silence.
"Sorry director, I forgot the words."
The pretty young lady who played the counter lady lowered her head and said.
"Cut! Rin, is your makeup okay?"
It's very normal for actors to suddenly forget their lines, and it was also their first time filming, so although Nanaya was a little dissatisfied he didn't show it.
Rin gestured.
"What about you? Did you remember your lines?!"
"Yes… yes!"
After taking a quick look at the script handed over by the assistant, the actress at the counter nodded in response.
"Then start over, stage manager!"
"Brother Slayer, Scene 7, Act 9, begins!"
Bang!
Rin slammed the counter again.
The lady at the counter showed an embarrassment on her face: "Um... Orc... Are you looking for Orc (Orc)?"
"No! What I'm looking for is..."
"Cut!"
Before Rin could finish his words, Nanaya stopped him.
"Too eager!" Nanaya said to Lin, "Rin, although you are here to look for someone, you are not so eager."
Even though Rin will do the dubbing in post-production, it doesn't mean that she only needs to recite "one, two, three, four, five, six" with a blank expression on the set. The actor's expression and tone of voice when speaking are all things that need to be recorded in the camera.
Rin gave Nanaya an apologetic look; she knew where her problem lay.
"Then continue." Nanaya didn't say any more nonsense.
··
The scene featuring the trio lasted for a full half hour.
It wasn't because of an error in the actor's performance, but because there was a problem with Rin's pair of silicone elf ears props, and she had to wear a new pair of ears.
Nanaya made a total of 200 pairs of these silicone ear props, all for Rin.
In addition, Rin has to wear an emerald green wig, so it is very troublesome to touch up Rin's makeup every time.
It takes at least 20 minutes to replace the ears and adjust the wig, which is why Rin has now become a silent girl.
"Luckily we only have one pointed ear here. I heard that the neighbor has prepared 2,500 pairs of ear props alone."
Nanaya observed a second of silence for Peter the Great, and then he reminded Shonan Rantaro: "Shonan, remember to give Rin more close-ups later, but be careful not to include Lint in the shot."
Lint is the motion capture actor who plays the Lizard Monk.
Because makeup alone is unable to achieve the effect that Nanaya wants, Nanaya can only use CGI technology to create the only non-human creature in the protagonist team.
As for why the motion capture actor wasn't included in the close-up shots, it's of course because the CGI lizard man is the most expensive person in the main character team.
Rin's elf makeup is just a nuisance, and every frame in which this monk appears is a burning expense, so Nanaya has to compress his appearance time as much as possible.
"Okay, Nanaya-san~?"
"Don't be weird at a time like this! Luvia, what are you doing?!"
"Just taking a picture." Luvia raised her portable camera. "It's rare to see this woman with a buzz cut, so of course I have to keep it as a souvenir."
In order to make it easier to wear a wig, Rin had to keep a buzz cut during the filming, which was something Nanaya had specifically tried to get for her. You know, the makeup artist had originally planned to have Rin bald.
But in terms of results, a buzz cut is not much better than a bald head.
Tohsaka Rin also knew that her current hairstyle was ugly, but Luvia's act of adding insult to injury was a bit too much.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to put on the wig, Tohsaka Rin turned around and fiercely gave Luvia two middle fingers.
Luvia said nothing, she just flicked her long golden hair.
Because of the same hair color, Luvia only needs to straighten her hair, which is much better than Rin.
"You..."
Rin was about to speak when the makeup artist slapped her back.
"Don't talk! I'm putting on makeup now!"
"Hmm…"
Rin didn't dare to say anything. This somewhat paranoid makeup artist had left a deep impression on Lin during this period of time.
So, Rin could only ask Nanaya for help. The girl looked a little aggrieved, and her beautiful big eyes just looked at Nanaya.
Senior, this crane bullies me.
Why--
Nanaya felt helpless, and warned Luvia: "I can't interfere with your private affairs, but if I find out that these photos are leaked..."
In fact, it doesn't matter if it is leaked. After all, Rin's hairstyle is a sacrifice made for acting. At most, she will be spoofed into one of the three giants of Asian emoticons like a certain coriander.
However, for girls who love beauty, the current image is indeed not very good-looking.
"I understand."
Luvia patted her chest and promised, but her next words made Nanaya very angry.
"Of course I have to print out something so interesting and put it in my room~" Luvia said with a wicked smile, "Let me admire Tohsaka Rin's professionalism as an actress as much as possible."
"Hmm…Hmm…Hmm…"
Rin could only grit his teeth.
"Start over when you're ready."
Nanaya could only play the role of peacemaker and learn from his experience in "Magical Illya". He knew very well that once the two girls started to confront each other, it would be endless, and the easiest way to deal with it was to start filming directly.
Out of respect for the profession of acting, Rin and Luvia will temporarily stop in front of the camera.
"it's a pity."
Luvia could only hand the camera in her hand to her assistant with regret, and then stand back in her seat.
There are a lot of scenes in the Adventurer's Guild, and it is definitely impossible to complete them all in one day.
"That's all for today, we'll continue tomorrow."
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Nanaya yelled at all the actors, marking the end of today's work.
"It's finally over."
The guy who played the role of the gun user stretched lazily. After handing the props to the special caretaker, he said loudly to Gawain: "Hey, how about we go find the flower girl together tonight?"
Gawain, who was not well educated, was very shy. He blushed and whispered, "I won't go. You go by yourself."
"Tsk, that's boring. I'll go by myself then."
"Teddy, you're itchy down there again, right? Do you want me to give you some green oil?!"
Nanaya said to this guy unhappily, this guy with a romantic look on his face was named Setant.
He and Gawain are members of the same idol group, and are the only two members of J-House who passed the audition and officially joined the "Goblin Slayer" crew.
However, unlike the honest and upright Gawain, this guy is a pervert. He is not the kind of guy like Shonan who talks nonsense, but the kind who really uses guns.
One of the main reasons why this guy became a male idol is that he wanted to use his identity to pick up girls.
However, seeing that this guy insisted on mutual consent, Nanaya could only let him do as he pleased. As long as it did not break the law, the actors' spare time lives were not under the director's control.
However, perhaps out of jealousy of this guy's luck with women, Nanaya combined this guy's name and simply gave him the nickname "Teddy", which was quickly accepted by everyone in the crew.
"Teddy, what should we do when we go to Nanhu to film later? There are only village girls there."
Looking at Setant who was about to leave for his nightlife, Nanaya asked with ill intention.
"As long as you are not sick."
Seeing Setant's indifferent answer, Nanaya felt that it would be better to castrate this stupid dog, so that no woman would come to the crew with a child one day.
pS: The big dog Setant appears. Well, although he is set as a playboy, he is just a stupid dog who likes to go shopping in Ginza. ╮(╯▽╰)╭
To be honest, the simple sex in the entertainment industry is really not a big deal. It is the people who pull up their pants and do it for free that are really disgusting. I am talking about a certain fat guy. [Picking nose]
If I were to ask which scene in the MCU's more than 20 movies makes me feel the most ironic, it would probably be in Iron Man 2, when Pepper Potts reminds Tony that if he looks at Natasha again, he will be sued for workplace harassment. After all, Pepper Potts is played by Gwyneth Paltrow, and you can search Baidu for the story between this famous Hollywood actress with princess syndrome and Javier Weinstein.
I can only say that the entertainment industry in Western capitalist countries is just a mess! [Funny]
