章節 107: Chapter 107: For preaching, collection, and appreciation
With the end of the Goblin Slayer celebration party scenes and the crew's own celebration party, most of the crew left Wellington.
Some of them returned to Hollywood, some returned to Japan, and some returned to the crew of "The Lord of the Rings".
Among them, the big boss Shion Washimine was very generous. She allowed the actors and staff who were returning to Japan to go back with her directly, and even paid for their plane tickets in her personal name.
By the way, Shion also took Tohsaka Rin away - this was her second main mission in New Zealand, the first being to hold a celebratory banquet.
Shion has accepted Nanaya's suggestion, and Yumi has entered Trier and become a so-called trainee.
But in fact, the little Loli received the treatment of a formal member, and she had a place in all performances and handshake meetings.
But this is not enough. Yumi-chan is still too young and lacks the aura of a big star.
Although the character of Miyu can attract some popularity, it is simply a fantasy to want her to lead the development of Trier.
Therefore, Shion, who needs someone to continue to support Trier, came to New Zealand so eagerly to pick people up. Now, apart from Rin, there is really no other girl who can stand out.
As for the trio of foot-washing maids?
Sorry, Shion has been released a long time ago.
Of course, some people left and some stayed.
Members of [Erque Studio] represented by Ori officially joined the "Goblin Slayer" crew and soon took on various important positions.
In this matter, Nanaya was able to use public resources for personal gain.
In order to ensure that Ori's debut work "The Solitary Gourmet" could be filmed smoothly, Nanaya left several key members of [Erque Studio] such as Katsura Mamako and Ikeda Subaru to him.
Now that they are in New Zealand, Nanaya hopes that they can get used to working in a large crew as soon as possible by filming the remaining scenes.
Although Nanaya cannot guarantee that he will have the opportunity to shoot a large-scale commercial film with an investment of more than 50 million US dollars in the future, he believes that at least he will have the opportunity to shoot a big-budget movie for the Japanese film industry.
This work on "Goblin Slayer" is a very important experience for Ryougi Ori and others.
There aren't many scenes left for Nanaya. Apart from a small part of the rivalry between a man and a woman, the rest are just the scenes of the new adventurer at the beginning of the film.
Yes, the scene that was played at the beginning of the film was shot by Nanaya at the end.
The reason is very simple. Except for the male and female protagonists, all the others are extras. What should the other actors in the crew do if they are put in the front of the filming?
Are you just waiting and doing nothing?
No matter how rich you are, you can't squander like this, so Nanaya put this scene at the end of the filming.
Fortunately, Luvia and Gawain, who have been in the crew for half a year, have long been accustomed to the roles they play.
The only thing that made Nanaya dissatisfied was the three extras who were teamed up with the priestess at the beginning.
I don't know if it's because they joined the crew too late, but their performance was not good enough.
Especially the female fighter, because Nanaya initially invited an actress with a great figure in order to attract the audience.
But this young lady is obviously shy, or she is not mentally prepared yet.
The first scenes are acceptable. After all, for a vase role, as long as the acting is acceptable, it's fine.
But when it came to the rape scenes, she couldn't let go. Although she had been told the nature of the role and given relevant instructions, various problems still occurred during the filming.
For example, when the actor who played the goblin was pressing down on him, he subconsciously covered his face.
This situation made Nanaya speechless. If it was just a simple struggle, it would be fine, just treat it as the actress getting into the role.
But covering your face is really annoying. After all, the audience watches this scene to see your face when you are violated, not the goblin's disgusting big head, which is just a quick shot.
So in the last few shots, all that could be heard in the studio was Nanaya's roar.
"Fuck, where's your face?! You're shameless enough to let the audience see the Goblin's butt?!"
"I told you to put on a shameful and angry expression, not to cover your face with your hands! What I want is your raped face! Show it to me!"
These two sentences can be said to be the words Nanaya said the most during the last few days of filming.
I don't know if it was because of Nanaya's fierce words, but this young lady was still stumbling while filming the assault scene.
But when he was rescued by the Priestess and Goblin Slayer at the end, the look of despair on his face was very realistic.
"Senior, I think you are about to destroy her."
When seeing off the actors, Ori looked at the young actress who had a distraught look on her face. He felt that his senior brother was lucky that she did not stand up to resist and stabbed Nanaya with a knife.
Nanaya walked into the door of Weta Workshop without looking back: "Who cares about this kind of thing. Let's go, our real work is about to begin."
As a movie that relies on special effects as its selling point, the post-production of "Goblin Slayer" is definitely a top priority.
Shion asked Nanaya to release the film during the summer of 2002, and Nanaya chose July 2002 as the time.
This is to avoid the two super popular movies "Spider-Man 1" and "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" which were released in May.
As for "Men in Black 2" in July, Nanaya doesn't care.
It's not that Nanaya looks down on this movie, but he really thinks that this movie is not competitive with his own "Goblin Slayer".
Although the sequel did well at the box office, the reviews were very mediocre, and was criticized by countless people as "a movie that relies on the capital of the predecessor."
However, this would put Nanaya's post-production schedule very tight, considering that it was already October 2001.
Including the time for submitting the film to various countries for review and promotion, Nanaya had to complete all the editing and post-production special effects work on the film from March to May 2002.
This is by no means an easy time.
The first thing Nanaya had to do was to make a rough cut of the film, cutting it into a semi-finished film of nearly 6 hours.
Then, based on this version, Nanaya asked Washimine and the special effects staff of Weta Workshop to add rough special effects and then make a fine edit.
Later movie DVDs often release various deleted scenes, but usually the deleted scenes of special effects blockbusters are horrible.
Because the special effects on the screen are so crude that people can't bear to watch them.
But in fact, these clips are rough cuts. The reason why they have no special effects or the special effects are simple is simply because it would be a waste of money to add special effects to these clips that are not used in the main film.
Nanaya had the same idea. The six-hour movie was expected to be shortened by two-thirds of its length, and this was after he already had the concept of the film in his mind.
If it were any other director, they might be able to cut 2 hours out of 10 hours. In comparison, Nanaya's efficiency is already very high.
As for why it took 2 hours, it was of course the result of Nanaya of careful consideration.
Because the audience's attention span is limited, Nanaya can only try his best to cater to the audience's tastes since there is no way to make the audience behave differently.
After all, Nanaya is making commercial box office movies, not self-indulgent art films.
Nowadays, most commercial films are still running about 90 minutes, so Nanaya' 120 minutes is considered long.
As for movies that are more than 2 hours long, there aren't many other films that are more than 2 hours long, except for confident directors like Peter Jackson.
Of course, Nanaya's editing style tends to be more like later movies, so although it will be half an hour longer than ordinary movies, he believes that his movie will not make the audience feel boring.
In other words, as an R-rated movie, Nanaya is confident that people who like this type of movie will keep their eyes fixed on the screen and not look away.
After having a rough cut, Nanaya began the fine editing and announced his special effects requirements to the special effects production team.
"Um, Senior..." Ori looked at the standards submitted by Nanaya and was a little surprised, "What are these three standards?"
"Of course it's to meet the various rating standards. I made a PG-13 version with basically no blood, an R-rated version with blood plasma and exposed nipples, and an NG-17 version with broken limbs and breasts flying around. The special effects for the R-rated version have the highest priority, so have them finish them first. We'll deal with the other two versions after we finish the R-rated version."
Nanaya looked proud when he said this, and he was quite satisfied with his performance.
But Ori didn't think so. He said distressedly: "Senior, aren't you being reckless? Wasn't it decided from the beginning that the version we released would be rated R?"
"My lovely junior brother, you are still too young." Nanaya said proudly, "The R-rated version is the theatrical version and the version released worldwide, so it should be produced first. As for the NG-17 version, I call it the director's cut, and it will be released offline in the form of a collector's edition DVD."
"What about the PG-13 version?"
Nanaya's face was full of mercenary: "After the R rating is removed, we will release it in countries where R-rated movies cannot be shown. We will make as much money as we can then."
"…"
Ori was speechless because of Nanaya, but Nanaya had not stopped his business yet.
"By then, all three versions will be released on DVD, and for the sake of profit, it would be best if the three versions were released at different times. I have already thought of the names of the three versions: the all-ages version for preaching, the hardcover R-rated version for collection, and the exciting version for viewing."
Ori was stunned for a long time before he remembered that this seemed to be the theory of otaku buying three copies that his senior brother had told him two years ago.
"I feel sorry for your fans, Senior, for being so money-sucking."
"That's better than the Japanese animation companies. A 60-minute animation theater ticket costs more than a 2-hour Star Wars. They are simply robbing money!"
It was rare for Nanaya to complain.

Onigiri pS: The price of movie tickets in Japan is fixed, which means that no matter what kind of movie you watch, the price of the movie ticket you buy is the same. (Students will have discounts, but the price of the same type of ticket will not change)
In other words, the money you spend to watch a 60-minute Panzer Girls movie is the same as the ticket price for a more than two-hour "Star Wars" movie.
It’s no wonder that Japanese animated films have high box office sales. After all, children like them and adults watch them with them, so the number of viewers is definitely higher than that of live-action films. o(╯□╰)o
