章節 100: Chapter 100 Filming in progress
That night, under the arrangement of Washimine Shion, Nanaya and the new landlady checked into a high-end hotel in Wellington.
Of course, the two of us stayed in separate rooms.
So nothing happened that was pleasing to the eye.
The next day, Nanaya, accompanied by Shion, led the Washimine team into Weta Workshop in a high-spirited manner and conducted a series of negotiations.
On the premise that both parties were willing to cooperate, although Weta was somewhat dissatisfied with Nanaya's high demand, the negotiation process between the two parties was generally very smooth.
According to the agreement between the two parties, the research on motion capture technology will be jointly promoted and developed by the Weta and Washimine teams, and both parties will share research progress with each other.
At the same time, the special effects technology patents generated by both parties during the research and development process will be based on the principle of first-come-first-served. The relevant patents will belong to their respective teams, and the other party's team will have the right to use them, but cannot re-authorize them.
To put it bluntly, Weta and Washimine have joined forces to form an oligopolistic business alliance in the field of motion capture technology.
Although neither Washimine nor Weta are sure how long this alliance will last, at least for now it will allow the two companies to gain an early advantage and take the biggest and fattest piece of meat in the motion capture field before other companies or studios.
The entire negotiation process lasted four days before the general framework of the cooperation agreement was finalized. The subsequent specific agreements still required the legal departments of both sides to conduct detailed discussions on each contract.
This time will be very long, Nanaya can't wait any longer. After all, the crew is still waiting for him, the director, to return on Mount Ruapehu.
So after determining the general direction of cooperation, Nanaya left Washimine's team in Wellington and he himself returned to the set of Mount Ruapehu with Washimine Shion.
Because the female chairman wanted to meet her two new idols in person, and Nanaya herself thought that this would be very interesting, so she brought Shion back to the crew.
Sure enough, it was just as Nanaya expected.
When they heard that their boss had been replaced by the young lady in front of them who was not much older than themselves, Luvia and Rin both showed very surprised expressions.
Especially Rin, because she was too excited, the emerald green wig on her head fell off, revealing the buzz cut underneath.
It's a pity that this scene only lasts a short moment, otherwise Nanaya thinks it would be very interesting to keep this shot.
For the crew, the arrival of Shion Washimine was just like a stone thrown into the river. Although it caused some ripples, it soon returned to calm.
As the chairman of a group company, Shion certainly couldn't stay in New Zealand forever. When Nanaya signed his name on the equity agreement, she left with satisfaction.
Regarding the agreement, Nanaya specially faxed it back to Japan and asked Ori to confirm the validity of the agreement and the loopholes in the treaty with a professional lawyer.
After receiving the answer that there were no questions asked, Nanaya felt that he simply could not refuse this opportunity that was almost like giving away money for free.
However, this agreement did not bring any earth-shaking changes to Nanaya, he is still a director shooting movies in New Zealand. And the beautiful chairman who asked him for advice did not continue to ask Nanaya other questions after getting his advice on idol career, but let him concentrate on shooting movies.
And Nanaya did just that.
After working at Mount Ruapehu for nearly two months, the crew of "Goblin Slayer" finally finished shooting most of the outdoor shots. Now Nanaya is going to shoot the last few sets of outdoor shots - the climax of the film, the confrontation between the adventurer team and the goblin army.
This is the only large-scale battle in the entire movie of Goblin Slayer, and it is also the first time that Nanaya has shot a scene with more than 20 moving units in front of the camera. This is quite a challenge for him.
"Fortunately, we don't need to use horses." Uncle Xilin said with some fear, "I participated in the scene next door about the horse battle. A small number of horses is fine, but once there are more than 20 horses, it will be a disaster."
"Because horses are difficult to manage?"
Rin, who was standing next to him, asked curiously.
Uncle Xilin said seriously, "That's actually not a big deal. Trained horses will be relatively quiet as long as they are not frightened. But no matter how much they are trained, excretion is definitely not something that can be trained well. So, you will feel dozens of horses going to the toilet one after another. The horse manure and horse urine... Believe me, when the wind blows, you will know what hell is."
Rin's expression was a little embarrassed, and the scene made her feel sick just thinking about it.
Nanaya didn't notice the little episode in the corner of the shooting. His attention was at the center of the camera at this time. While watching the camera, he directed the props team to adjust the positions of various props in the center of the venue.
"Move that plank number 7 a little further to the left!"
"Plank number 4 moves forward a little!"
··
"Have the girls finished applying their sunscreen?"
After fixing the wooden board, Nanaya turned and asked his assistant director.
Although it is winter in New Zealand now, standing in the sun without anything on will still have some impact from the ultraviolet rays. Nanaya doesn't want those "special" actors to come to him because of skin problems afterwards.
Similarly, Nanaya also put hot packs on the parts of the girls that would not appear in the camera to ensure that they would not freeze.
"Everything is ready. Whether it's sun protection or warming measures." The assistant director nodded.
"Okay, let them get ready. Also," Nanaya reminded the assistant director who was about to leave, "Keep your people under control. If any footage that shouldn't be released gets out, I'll have Washimine's legal department sue everyone and bankrupt their families!"
"Yes."
The assistant director felt uncomfortable being stared at by Nanaya. Nanaya's fierce eyes told him that he was not joking.
"Goblin Slayer" is not one of those chaotic independent films in Europe and the United States. Although it is an R-rated movie, it is also a regular commercial production. Although this movie is not a Hollywood movie in the strict sense, many of the rules of Nanaya are based on Hollywood.
As the most mature commercial film industry in the world, many of Hollywood's rules, especially the explicit rules, are already very complete, especially when it comes to the control of nude scenes and passionate scenes.
Violence and love are always inevitable elements in commercial films. Depending on the rating system, the levels at which these two main elements are presented in the film are also different.
For example, in the PG-13 "Avengers", you will see the flying Chitauri soldiers bombarding the streets of New York, but they can't hit a single passerby; but in the R-rated "Deadpool", Ryan Reynolds can string people together like candied haws.
By the same token, love in PG-13 movies is at most just a kiss or something. Movies like "Avatar" that clearly tell you that two blue-skinned monsters are having sex with their hair under a glowing tree are obviously rare.
But even so, the truck driver still regretted that the shot could not be shown.
As for the R rating, the description of love is much more intuitive. In other words, if you still want to hide something in the R rating area, then the producer is definitely out of his mind.
Since there is nothing to hide, nude scenes and sex scenes are definitely indispensable elements in the movie.
But as I said before, there is a fundamental difference between a proper crew and the chaotic crew of an independent film. In an independent film, this kind of shot only requires the actress to take off her clothes.
This is definitely not the case in "Goblin Slayer" where Nanaya is. Everyone is a serious person, not the goblins in the story.
So some preventive safeguards are definitely needed.
First of all, none of the girls Nanaya chose to shoot this kind of scenes are famous, all of them are actors who can't be any younger. Although Nanaya believes that the audience definitely wants to see the restricted scenes of big stars, this kind of thing is too unprofitable for Nanaya.
Big actors have too many privileges, and Nanaya doesn't want to invite a great ancestor back just for a few erotic scenes.
At the same time, all aspects of the process of shooting nude scenes are also in place, so that the rights and interests of both the crew and the actors are protected.
For all actors who will appear in nude scenes, Nanaya will ask them to sign a special agreement on nude scenes in advance. The content of the agreement includes that the actor himself is willing to appear in the scenes in the movie, as well as the crew's description of the nude scenes and "intense sports" scenes that may appear in the movie. Even the approximate time of the scenes will be marked. This agreement can effectively ensure that both parties to the contract are willing to participate in the filming of the movie.
Of course, since the nude scenes in "Goblin Slayer" are basically related to forced content, in order to prevent the actors from changing their minds at the last minute and causing the same situation as in "Kara", Nanaya specially prepared three groups of actors to perform the relevant scenes.
If someone changes their mind, Nanaya can directly use the substitute shot without reshooting.
Of course, this is a guarantee for the crew.
At the same time, Nanaya also took corresponding protective measures for the actors who appeared in front of the camera, and asked the assistant director of the crew to strictly control it.
After all, the special nature of nude scenes may very likely become a handle for others to exploit. Apart from anything else, in the coercion books, using photos to threaten girls is basically a routine operation.
Therefore, Nanaya strictly requires that during the filming of nude scenes, all crew members are prohibited from bringing any tools that can be used for filming. Mobile phones and cameras are absolutely prohibited. Except for the crew's cameras, no other electronic devices are allowed to be brought in.
Even director Nanaya is no exception!
At the same time, Nanaya also guaranteed that, except for the materials used in the feature film or the possible director's cut, the other video materials would never appear in front of the public.
If a leak occurs, Nanaya has asked Washimine to promise that the person will be tracked down and made to regret being born into this world.
"We are indeed a legitimate company, but that doesn't mean we have no connections with gangsters." Shion Washimine directly expressed her attitude towards this matter at the crew meeting before filming began. "If there is a leak, whether it is a photo or a video, even if the pixels are so blurry that there are only mosaics, I will move your whole family to live in Tokyo Bay!"
創作者的想法 
Onigiri
Onigiri pS: Commercial films, especially big productions, have very strict requirements for special shots, so strict that the staff will hardly have any desire. Of course, it's hard to say for independent films. After all, that circle is so chaotic, or it can be said that many people get into this circle just for the so-called "art".
