Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 212: Chapter 208 Actor Selection



After the press conference, major media outlets published their reporters'opinions on the incident on their own platforms.

"Director Nanaya Kiryu has provided quite an ingenious idea, and it's a bold one. As long as the production level can reach the level of Goblin Slayer, this movie has the potential to become a new commercial classic."

——"Movie Treasure"

"As Japan's most successful commercial director, it is entirely reasonable for Nanaya Kiryu's new work to be a big-budget special effects movie, but isn't it a bit too arrogant to directly adopt an original new IP?"

—The New York Times

"Instead of choosing a meaningless heroic story, it is better to continue filming Goblin Slayer, which will be more likely to succeed!"

—The Washington Post

Except for "Film Treasure", which is considered to be their own, other media basically do not look favorably upon Nanaya's Fate project.

These comments made people who were close to Nanaya very angry.

"Senior, is it okay to have such one-sided negative reviews?"

Ori expressed his concerns to Nanaya.

"It doesn't matter. It's just questioning. It's just to attract attention."

Nanaya replied with a pout, he was already used to this kind of questioning.

The media always has to find some gimmicks for themselves.

Compared to the wave of ridicule that followed when Marvel first launched the "Iron Man" project a few years later, Nanaya felt that these people were still showing some mercy.

Compared to the media, Nanaya' fans have high expectations for this subject matter.

Especially Japanese audiences, because of "Magical Girl Illya", they still have a relatively clear concept of the Holy Grail War.

Therefore, on the 2CH message board, most people generally support Nanaya.

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "Kiryuu old thief finally started to fill the hole, finally I don't have to send razor blades anymore." |?˙?˙)?

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "You never sent it." (¬_¬)

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "Because the blades are too expensive, office workers can't afford them. So what about the information this time?"╮( ??ω?? )╭

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "We are looking for actors. What kind of actors do you think are good?" (??ω?? ?)

[Ryougi Ori is mine]: "Miss Ori, as the junior sister of the old thief Kiryu, she will definitely play an important role, right!"???(???ω??)???

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "I'm really an idiot for asking you something like this." (?_? )

[Self-proclaimed Miss Kusada Hitoho]: "I heard that there will be many Hollywood actors joining this time, right? I hope to see more big stars." (?▽`??)

[Tono's Bulldozer]: "Let's talk about it later. After all, this kind of thing is not something that a small employee like me can decide." (?_? )

[Self-proclaimed Miss Kusada Hitoho]: "After all, I'm just a useless worker, so I can just be a member of the uncle's party."╮( ??ω?? )╭

[Tono family bulldozer]: "Get out of here!" (╯‵□′)╯︵┻━┻

Nanaya immediately quit the 2CH message board. Although he was using a pseudonym, he was still a little angry at the contemptuous words.

However, the mention of celebrities joining the message board did give Nanaya some ideas.

Currently, the UBW project is progressing in an orderly and steady manner.

After years of cooperation, [Erque Studio] has become a mature, cooperative and efficient team.

So Nanaya doesn't have to worry about a lot of behind-the-scenes work.

However, the problem of the actors in front of the stage made Nanaya feel a little distressed.

"I need an actor, Kiryu."

At another UBW meeting, Li Wenshu asked Nanaya.

"Those few Masters are easy to deal with, but the action training of the Servant actors must begin as soon as possible. To make those actors become famous heroes in history, at least to look like they are real, it takes time to slowly hone in."

Nanaya said helplessly: "I'm already looking for them. You can start training with the confirmed actors first."

"The only people confirmed so far are Miss Lily and Mark Ruffalo. One of them has big and bold moves that don't require any training, while the other is from an aristocratic family and has received special sword training, so he doesn't need much training."

Li Wenshu did not give Nanaya face, or rather, he no longer needed to care about face at this time.

Lily, who was born into an aristocratic family, received special knight training with her sister since she was a child. Both her manners and the posture of wielding a knight's sword are very accurate.

Although a lot of her training was abandoned after arriving in Japan, Lily, who was only 16 years old, was able to pick it up again with a little practice.

On the contrary, Lily needs more training in acting, because her role is not the innocent Saber Lily, but the serious-looking Quilt King.

But these are all minor matters. What Nanaya is really worried about now is the selection of remaining actors.

The other supporting roles are not important, but the Masters and Servants involved in the movie are all very important characters.

These roles are all filled by one actor, one pit, the kind that cannot be changed in a short period of time.

They are related to the plans for the next Nanaya, five years later, or even ten years later, so they must be considered carefully.

At the same time, every participating actor must sign a long-term contract, this is absolute.

Nanaya doesn't want to become like Marvel in his previous life, haggling with others over the pay of a few big-name actors all day long.

In fact, it's easier to deal with Japanese actors. The leading actors such as Sugiyama and Lily are all idols, so it won't be a problem if you can deal with their agencies.

Even for veteran Japanese actors like Matsushige Yutaka, there is no big problem. After all, the standards given by Nanaya are based on Hollywood standards. Even the lowest level is an incredible pay for Japanese actors.

However, this is not the case for Hollywood actors.

In Hollywood, because of the relationship between the actor recruitment mentioned in the previous Nanaya press conference.

The news has spread like wildfire in the circle, and many actors are eager to try it out, even many first-line actors are interested in it.

After all, the Fate project is a big commercial production, and the director and producer Nanaya Kiryu also has the backing of "Goblin Slayer", which has a global box office of 600 million.

Such projects are considered high-quality projects with a very high success rate in Hollywood.

Movies are a weird thing, sometimes a project that looks great may end up losing everything, while some rubbish movies that seem like they will never be successful may end up making a ton of money.

Therefore, from the seven major Hollywood executives to the actors, as long as they have the spare energy to make choices, they will choose projects that look relatively reliable.

As for the young actors and the like, they are thankful that they don't have to go to the San Fernando Valley to film.

However, the conditions proposed by Nanaya were a bit high, or even harsh.

After all, his nearly ten-year contract was really exaggerated, which scared away many actors.

Actors with a little fame would not be bound by such a harsh contract. Who knows what will happen in ten years.

So Nanaya can only learn from Marvel's good experience again and look for suitable partners from those independent film actors who are slightly famous.

Marvel is indeed a treasure. Whether good or bad, it told Nanaya everything that needs to be paid attention to in establishing a movie universe.

Since there was a path that had been walked by previous people, Nanaya only had to follow it.

But this way, the search for actors will take a while longer.

So far, the confirmed masters are Shirou, Rin, Sakura, Illya, and Kotomine Kirei, while the people's teacher and Shinji are yet to be determined.

As for the servants, only Mr. Golden, Saber, Uncle B and Big Dog have been decided, while the others, Red A, Sister R, Mom C and Uncle Door God, are still pending.

"Nearly half of the cast hasn't been finalized yet, which is a really confusing situation, and we're about to start filming."

Li Wenshu slammed the table heavily.

Nanaya shook his head. He looked at Miss Yoshinaga Yukari who was sitting at the end of the conference table and asked, "Ms. Yoshinaga, you can choose one between Medea and Medusa."

Although Yoshinaga Yukari's figure and appearance have a very obvious flavor of a Japanese beauty, they also conform to Western aesthetics.

There would be no problem in letting her play the roles of C's mother or R's sister, two roles that hardly require her to show her face.

"Um..."

Yoshinaga Yukari looked between the two roles for a long time, and finally took Medea's script.

Nanaya had no choice but to do this. At least he was quite confident in Yoshinaga Yukari's acting skills.

"I'll choose this one. She looks stronger."

Yoshinaga Yukari nodded and said.

"Medusa is because of the Master's problem... Never mind, let's not talk about it."

Nanaya threw the script of Medusa to Washimine's staff, "Find a young actress with a good figure and good looks, and remember not to charge too much."

"The remaining roles are all male ones." Ori looked at the remaining scripts, "Are you looking for all Hollywood actors?"

"No."

Nanaya took out the people's teacher's letter and placed it in front of Li Wenshu.

"Let's go to Hong Kong and find a man with facial paralysis who is good at fighting. You should know a way, right?"

Since we are talking about internationalization, let's find someone who has good martial arts skills. He is also cheaper than Hollywood action stars.

"My father should have."

Li Wenshu replied.

"That's good."

Nanaya looked at the script for the next character - Archer.

If we talk about which heroes in the archer class are the most popular, the man with the back and Mr. Golden can definitely occupy the top two places.

Nanaya's original plan was to have the actor who played Shirou Emiya try playing two roles.

By using makeup and special effects technology, it is entirely possible to make the audience feel that there is a connection between two people, yet they are completely different.

This will add more gimmicks and make the film more interesting.

However, performing Red A was too difficult and the idol Sugiyama simply couldn't handle it.

Nanaya is not trying to insult him, Sugiyama's acting skills really need some improvement.

It's not that Sugiyama can't act, but with his ability, it's extremely difficult for him to play two characters with completely different personalities and performance tensions in the same movie.

It's too easy to fail directly.

"I need a muscular man, but he has to be an Oriental. Do you have any good suggestions?" Nanaya asked everyone present.

It would be easy if Red A was set as a Westerner, but it is a bit difficult to find a muscular maniac among Orientals.

"That..."

Sugiyama thought of something. He raised his hand and said hesitantly, "I know someone, but I don't know if he's suitable."

"Who?"

"My cousin Junichi, he's a bodybuilder," Sugiyama replied.

"Is your cousin's last name Suwabe?"

Sugiyama replied with a strange look on his face, "No, his last name is Ishida, what's wrong?"
