Nanaya had been staring at the place where the two animal protection organization members were. After seeing that the staff were all ready, he immediately picked up the intercom and shouted to everyone, "Hurry up and get the girls on stage, and all units pay attention! "Goblin Slayer", scene 42, act 24. Start now!"
Following Nanaya's order, the staff surrounding the animal protection organization immediately pulled up a blue curtain more than one meter high in a well-trained manner.
The blue curtain suddenly rose and blocked the view of everyone in that area. For a moment, no one could see what was happening on the set.
"Hey! You guys!"
The two people from the animal protection organization wanted to rush in, but the security personnel of the crew who had anticipated this stopped them.
"You can't do this. I'm going to sue you for restricting our freedom of life. Your crime..."
"I'm sorry, sir."
A guy pulling the blue screen explained with a "friendly" smile: "Because the director suddenly decided that this place needs to be added with computer special effects later, so the blue screen must be pulled up."
This ridiculous reason certainly did not convince the two animal protection workers, but they were already surrounded by people who seemed to be reinforcing the temporary blue curtain, but in fact they were there to block the two of them.
So the two of them were like passengers preparing to get off a crowded tram. They rushed left and right to try to break through the crowd, but the crew members of "Goblin Slayer" squeezed them in the middle like a school of sardines.
On the other side, Nanaya was shooting in an orderly manner.
As Rin's elf archer fires a prop arrow, the entire "war" scene begins to move.
Adventurers wearing various kinds of armor rushed towards the goblin army like a tide, while the goblins standing behind the "meat shields" hurriedly fought back.
Compared to the adventurers who just appeared as extras, Nanaya obviously spent more time and effort on the goblin army.
According to different needs, Nanaya divided the goblin army into three categories.
One type is goblin models made of wood and polyethylene resin. These guys will only serve as goblin corpses on the battlefield and are complete background props.
The other type is the "Goblin" wrapped in a blue screen. These guys don't even have the shape of a goblin, they are just block-shaped objects wrapped in a screen. This "Goblin" is treated a little better than those model-made ones. They will be knocked away by adventurers, or directly hit with a knife.
Although the research on outdoor motion capture technology has not been completed, there is no problem with simple blue screen and green screen cutouts. These blocky props were processed later using computer special effects to create goblins that were knocked away or dismembered. They did not make any movements and were basically killed by adventurers in one blow.
As for the remaining goblins, they are all played by real people. They are all dwarf actors recruited by Nanaya. With the help of makeup artists and silicone leather cases, they are transformed into goblins who bravely fight with adventurers. These goblins will not only fight back and forth with adventurers, but will even occasionally kill one or two adventurers.
Of course, the final fate of these goblins will be the same as the other two types of goblins, and they will be destroyed by adventurers.
In fact, there are some special types of goblin elites that will appear on the battlefield, but because these guys require the application of motion capture technology, we can only go back indoors to set up the scene for shooting.
On the battlefield, they are just a simple model made of blue screen like other goblins.
For the long shot of the battlefield, Nanaya used short shots to stitch together. In other words, although it looks like a single shot to the audience, it is actually stitched together from many small shots.
It's just that these invisible editing points are very subtle, and they are all places that are not noticed by people, such as the huge bodies of goblin elites, thick trees, or adventurers' weapons, etc. If the audience is not very sensitive to the movie pictures, they may not notice these unique editing points at all.
This would greatly reduce the difficulty of filming, but even so, Nanaya's filming was not smooth, because there were too many scenes and characters involved, and Nanaya's filming process was still bumpy.
Finally, after realizing that his security personnel might not be able to hold back the two animal protection organization members for long, Nanaya quickly finished shooting all the nude scenes, and then hurriedly rushed the girls back to the dressing room.
However, the two members of the animal protection organization refused to give up. They yelled and cursed at Nanaya, and their words were very unpleasant.
"Shut up!" Nanaya, who could no longer bear it, raised his megaphone and yelled at the two men, "If you really think there's something wrong with the footage we shot, call the police! Of course, if you really think it's inappropriate, you can take off your clothes and participate in the filming. In this way, I can show you our filming process in full."
Nanaya said this to the female among the two people. The other party seemed to be humiliated by Nanaya's words. She stared at Nanaya fiercely and kept saying all kinds of vicious swear words.
But Nanaya no longer cared about her. Let this guy love her however he wanted. Anyway, he had already done everything he was supposed to do.
As for letting this woman apply for an actor, it was simply a joke. Not to mention whether she would really come to the crew to apply, even if she came, Nanaya would be rejected by the casting director.
That woman has no breasts and no butt, and looks just like a man. I guess the goblins wouldn't be interested in her at all. If they really caught her, they would just kill her with a knife. She wouldn't even be qualified to be raped.
Afterwards, Nanaya re-shot a lot of war scenes, and during the entire process, he never paid any attention to the two members of the animal protection organization from beginning to end, as if these two people did not exist at all.

"Haha, you really gave me some vent for my anger, Director Kiryu."
Half a month later, when Nanaya finished all the location shooting, he returned to Wellington to prepare for the shooting in the studio.
The person who said this was Peter Jackson, who happened to be returning to Wellington with the crew of The Lord of the Rings. The fat director had just finished a phase of filming and returned to Wellington with the crew to rest.
As one of the founders of Weta Workshop, Peter Jackson personally visited this partner after receiving the news that the crew of "Goblin Slayer" had returned to Wellington.
The above sentence was what he said when he was chatting with Nanaya and heard what Nanaya did to the two members of the animal protection organization.
Compared to the minor harassment from Nanaya, Peter Jackson's resentment towards animal protection organizations is obviously deeper. After all, the "Lord of the Rings" crew has a large number of circuses, and there are more shots using animal actors.
To be honest, neither Nanaya nor Peter Jackson had any intention of abusing the animal actors. After all, these animals are also members of the crew. If the animals become unhappy due to abuse and the progress is delayed, it will be a trouble for the crew.
It's just that the understanding of the word abuse by those animal protectionists is obviously different from that of normal people like Nanaya and Peter Jackson.
"You know what? When I was filming a scene before, there was a delay due to props issues, and the horses were not sent off on time. As a result, they were blocked by this group of people for three whole days! Three days! And I just made the horses work overtime for a few minutes."
When Peter Jackson said this, his slightly fat chin kept shaking, and it was obvious that he was still very angry about this matter.
"Hehe."
Nanaya sneered twice, and he remembered what happened when he was working in the teacher's crew a few years ago. The production of Japanese movies and TV series has very strict schedule requirements, and it is almost normal for the crew to be delayed and have to work overtime due to accidents.
Moreover, due to budget constraints, the overtime work of the crew is different from that of office workers, as it is basically for free.
But even as a disciple of Hanai Ryuichi, Nanaya basically had to work overtime for free, not to mention the other people in the crew.
That is, those big stars will be compensated in terms of pay due to the delay in their release dates.
[Why didn't anyone come to help me protest at that time? ]
Nanaya sneered and shook his head.
Living a life worse than that of animals, I really don't know whether this is a reflection of the progress of modern society or a huge irony.
Peter Jackson asked curiously, "Does this happen when you make movies in Japan?"
"I haven't heard much about Japanese..."
It's not that there are no animal protection organizations in Japan. There are people who have nothing to do and are always looking for trouble. But in Japan, they basically control the contracts of animal actors and supervise whether they are implemented. There are not many cases of direct confrontation with the crew.
Part of the reason is that Japanese society is too stressful, and office workers can't even take care of themselves, and don't have the time to take care of animals. Another reason is that underworld businesses are legalized in Japan, and the entertainment industry is also the one that interacts most with enthusiastic underworld people.
Ultimately, it's because these people have nothing better to do and are fearless. If a bad guy really comes to fight them, most of them will probably back down.
There may be some martyrs who are not afraid of power, but they are definitely a minority, and those who try to take advantage of the situation are definitely the majority.
After hearing what Nanaya said, Peter Jackson said with some envy: "I'm really envious. If I have animal scenes in the future, I'll come to Japan to shoot them. Even if the cost is higher, it can save a lot of trouble."
Nanaya shrugged and said, "Forget it. Once our motion capture technology and 3D modeling technology are fully developed, I believe that movies will not need real animals at all."
"Speaking of this." Peter suddenly had a smirk on his face. "I heard from Andy that you seem to be playing a motion capture role in your movie? Is that right?"
Nanaya's face froze, and he nodded helplessly under Peter Jackson's affectionate eyes.
"Yeah, I'm going to play a troll."
"Then I'm looking forward to it very much."
The fat man Peter Jackson smiled very cunningly, which made Nanaya so angry that he wanted to punch his big nose.
Creation is hard, cheer me up!
