Movie Queen Development Plan

Although Nanaya and Lin Bao have said goodbye, the dissolution of a business partnership is not a breakup of a couple after all.

We can just say goodbye forever and that's the end of it.

The conflicts of interest involved cannot be settled within a few days.

Although the bosses of both sides have already decided that "Kara" will belong to Lin Bao and "Magical" will belong to Nanaya, there are still many details that need to be negotiated and finalized.

For example, Nanaya hopes that he can still use the character of Ryougi Shiki and let her make a cameo appearance in his own movie, just like Hulk in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Kiritsugu would certainly not agree to this, and in order to disgust Nanaya he proposed to divide the studio's real estate and employees into two parts, and even hoped to put ZUN under Lin Bao.

So the two sides started arguing over these small issues again, and neither side was willing to give in for their own interests.

However, there is no need for Nanaya and Kiritsugu to worry about these trivial matters. Washimine and Lin Bao's legal teams will handle them one by one.

After deciding to start his own business, Nanaya has already started working on the FSN project.

Having been suppressed by Kiritsugu for so long, Nanaya now has unlimited enthusiasm for work.

This is different from general film projects where the script is determined first and then actors are found based on the script.

Although Nanaya has not yet written the script for the movie version of FSN, Nanaya has already started looking for the actors needed in the movie in advance.

After all, the main plots are ready-made, and no matter how he modifies them, they will generally not deviate from the original three main plots of the FSN game.

Although many plots will certainly be modified for the rhythm of the movie, the main story will definitely not change too much.

Fortunately, the actors for the main roles were already available, especially the three heroines, Rin, Lily, and Sakura. They could be chosen directly without even having to audition.

As for other important roles, especially the Masters and Servants, Nanaya already had many candidates in mind.

For example, Illya who plays himself, Matsushige Yutaka who plays Mapo priest, etc., these are all the old cast members of "Magical Illya".

But Nanaya still needs to re-prepare for some actors, such as Uncle B, Sister R, Mom C, and Master L, etc.

Nanaya categorized the roles, separating out the ones that hadn't yet had actors decided on, and asked Washimine's people to look for suitable actors, with Hollywood's priority.

Washimine is prepared to invest hundreds of millions of dollars in FSN, which means that the North American market is a high ground that Nanaya and Washimine are determined to win.

Therefore, it is necessary to increase the proportion of Europeans and Americans in the cast as much as possible. After all, as a commercial film, Nanaya must make compromises for the market.

That's why Nanaya started screening actors so early, hoping to find actors he likes as soon as possible.

However, it does not mean that the actors who have been confirmed can enter the set directly.

Although they don't have to audition, it doesn't mean that they are qualified. Preparation before shooting is definitely necessary.

For example, actors' action scene training and acting training, etc., all need to be prepared in advance.

Among these actors, the one Nanaya cares about the most is Lily.

As the leader of Type-Moon, the character of Altoria Pendragon is definitely the top priority.

If we make a horizontal comparison, the character of Altoria is comparable to Iron Man in the MCU next door. Both are characters with the highest commercial value in their respective fields.

Just like Iron Man's various armor peripherals, Altoria's various forms are also a weapon that makes fans willing to pay for it.

Anyway, in Nanaya's memories of the last few years of his previous life, Tony Stark and Altoria Pendragon were still the ace characters of their respective companies, and their old employers still could not find anyone to replace them.

But Nanaya is still skeptical whether Lily Wettin can reach such a height like Robert Downey Jr.

Although in terms of appearance, Lily is definitely the best choice for Altoria, but if her appearance is just ok then it's not acting but Cosplay.

In order for Lily to meet his expectations, Nanaya required her to undergo closed professional acting training at the beginning of the project. For this reason, he also specifically asked Shion to delay Lily's official idol debut for a period of time.

So Lily, who originally planned to make her debut at the beginning of this year through a guest appearance in "Remaining Pain", disappeared from the fans' sight after making a brief debut announcement.

"You really are causing a lot of harm to others."

Looking at Lily who was practicing at the request of her acting teacher, Shion whispered to Nanaya.

"All the money we spent on this child has gone down the drain. You have to wait until you finish filming your new movie before you can make a comeback. From an idol business perspective, this is truly a loss-making deal."

Having said this, Shion glanced at Nanaya with resentment.

"Haha, really."

Nanaya touched his head awkwardly. Facing Shion's questioning, he seemed a little guilty.

"I hope your new movie is a big hit, otherwise I'll have to ask you to pay for Lily's training!"

Shion's threat was not really a threat at all. After all, it was a real loss. Compared with the hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, the cost of Lily, a little idol, was nothing.

"It will be successful." Nanaya said confidently, "I believe the Fate series will become a world-class IP like Star Wars."

"I hope so."

Although she has great confidence in Nanaya, Shion feels that it is a bit exaggerated to say that it is comparable to "Star Wars".

You know, although the box office of "Star Wars Episode 2" did not beat "Brotherhood" last year, if you count the overall commercial value, the revenue of "Star Wars" is definitely several times that of "Brotherhood".

The commercial value of the two is completely not on the same order of magnitude.

It is precisely this gap that makes Shion more determined to increase investment in the entertainment and film and television industry.

You know, even if the commercial value of "Goblin Slayer" is not as good as "Star Wars", even if Washimine and Lin Bao shared the revenue of "Goblin Slayer".

But in the end, Washimine's profit from "Goblin Slayer" reached nearly 200 million US dollars (box office revenue, DVD revenue and other commercial peripheral revenue).

Such huge profits made Shion see the potential of the film and television entertainment industry and its influence on other related products.

Not to mention Shion, even Washimine and other senior executives including Satoru were ecstatic.

If it weren't for the need to maintain the company's operating cash flow, they would probably invest their money in the film and television industry at all costs.

Therefore, when Shion proposed to invest in Nanaya's new movie, the other senior executives of Washimine readily agreed and even took the initiative to give Nanaya a lot of autonomy.

This is when the importance of the director's resume comes into play. If it weren't for the success of "Goblin Slayer", the people at Washimine would definitely not have agreed so readily.

"By the way, how are you going to solve the problem of the film's distribution in Europe and America?"

Nanaya asked curiously, now that he had broken up with Lin Bao, the distribution of the film became a problem.

It's not too bad in Japan, as a distribution company has already been established so there won't be any problems. However, it's different in Europe and the United States.

You have to know that even for Lin Bao, the global distribution channels are not perfect.

When releasing "Goblin Slayer", some small countries and regions adopted a buyout system for local distributors instead of profit sharing.

Therefore, choosing a partner becomes very important.

The first choice would definitely be the seven major Hollywood film companies, but everyone knows how deceptive those seven vampires are, otherwise Washimine would not have returned to Japan to find Lin Bao.

"Well, I have an idea." Shion hid her face behind her folding fan and laughed secretly, "But it will take some time to verify. Your idea of ​​forming alliances is very good."

"Is that so?"

Although Nanaya was a little curious about what Shion was going to do, since Shion didn't say much, he didn't plan to ask more.

I think that with the calculating style of this female boss of mine, she will definitely not let her side suffer any loss in the end.

"Oh, yes, yes."

Shion thought of something, and she said to Nanaya, "You have to be careful recently, because the news that you are preparing a new project has spread."

"What's wrong with that? Could it be that Emiya Kiritsugu would hire someone to assassinate me?"

Nanaya felt that Kiritsugu would not be so crazy. After all, he was just a daughter-con and not a gangster.

"What are you thinking about?"

Shion tapped Nanaya's head and said, "I mean, you should be careful of those female celebrities who have other intentions. Don't let them trick you into bed and make promises that you shouldn't make."

Nanaya curled his lips in disdain: "No way, I have been a virgin for so many years, and I have never wasted my time on anyone other than those beauties in Ginza. You know that."

Shion didn't answer, she just pointed behind Nanaya with a funny smile.

"What are you talking about?"

A certain purple-haired ex-girlfriend asked with a smile.

"Sakura----!!"

Nanaya was so frightened that he immediately hid behind Shion.

"Why are you here? Did you hear what I just said?" Nanaya thought that Sakura had just heard what he said about Miss Ginza, so she seemed a little scared.

Although their relationship is over now, Nanaya still doesn't want Sakura to know about his foolish deeds.

Nanaya was actually overthinking. Sakura didn't hear about some of the not-so-good habits of her ex-boyfriend whom she admired.

However, Nanaya's frightened behavior caused Sakura to misunderstand something.

Sakura looked sad and asked shyly, "Nanaya, do you also think this dress is weird? I said the skirt is too fluttery."

Only then did Nanaya notice Sakura's attire, a low-cut red plaid bubble skirt and a small hat with the same pattern.

This outfit looks very familiar, especially for Nanaya, who is active in the Japanese entertainment industry.

This is the idol's performance costume.
