Movie Queen Development Plan

Since it has been decided to film Illya's scenes as soon as possible, Nanaya will not drag his feet.

After coming out of Ryutani's house, he quickly took action.

The first thing was to determine the scenes in the movie where Illya would appear.

Illya does not appear many times in the UBW line, only in the beginning when she commanded Berserker to fight Saber, and in the middle when she was attacked by Gilgamesh in the Einzbern Castle.

Because the other actors' acting training had not yet been completed, Nanaya could only simplify these two scenes again.

The final result will be that only two characters will be left, Illya and Berserker, as well as a small number of shots that require Gilgamesh.

This way, there are only three roles involved, and this design makes filming much easier for Nanaya.

In terms of the scene, apart from the streets of Fuyuki City, the most important thing is the castle of the Einzbern family.

Although the parts involving Illya's appearance are all interior scenes, they can be shot directly in the studio.

However, considering the consistency of interior and exterior decoration, Nanaya needs to find another European castle.

Although there are many such venues, it is not easy to find a castle that can fully meet Nanaya's requirements.

After visiting several ancient castles in person and not being very satisfied with any of them, Nanaya had to leave it to the crew's special staff to look for it.

Nanaya himself started by selecting the actors.

There's nothing to complain about the actor who plays Gilgamesh. Just add Wayne and give him some red contact lenses.

However, the actor for the role of Berserker made Nanaya a little hesitant.

Although this great hero from Greece is set as one of the most powerful enemies from the prologue to the end, he exudes a strong presence.

However, in the three lines of Fate, most of the situations end in failure, and they are basically tools to highlight the plot and characters.

For example, in the Fate line, Shirou and Altoria ended their marriage as a witness to their wedding sword; in UBW, it was used to highlight Gilgamesh, the final boss, and prove how terrifying he was; in HF, it became the whetstone for the protagonist Shirou Emiya to practice shooting hundreds of heads.

He was clearly given the title of the strongest and had a very strong presence, but from beginning to end, apart from the very beginning where he crushed Saber, why did the only thing he had accomplished seem to be killing a lone man with his back to him?

The twelve trials that were supposed to take place turned out to be a counter for ultimate moves.

That full of pretentiousness eventually became a stepping stone for others to show off.

How is this situation so similar to that of a certain Zi-O who has ancestral tablets hanging all over his body, claims to be in his final form, but is basically useless except for being humiliated and embarrassed?

Cough cough.

Joking aside, this excellent whetstone, no, the powerful opponent still requires a lot of consideration in the casting.

At the beginning, Nanaya planned to use a real muscular actor to portray Uncle B, so that it would be more realistic.

But he quickly gave up the idea.

Although Berserker Hercules is only 2.5 meters tall according to the setting, but in the CG in Nanaya's memory, people would believe that he is 3 meters tall!

It's not that there's something wrong with the CGs. On the contrary, this effect makes the scene where Hercules appears full of oppression.

However, this also brings up a problem. If real actors are used as costumes, it will be difficult to achieve that effect no matter how much makeup is applied.

So Nanaya simply gave up the idea of looking for tall actors, and instead selected ordinary actors with well-proportioned bodies, and then used the motion capture technology he was familiar with to produce CGI.

Although this will make the character much more expensive, it will actually give you more choices.

What's more, Washimine has cooperated with Weta Workshop on motion capture technology.

Not only is he at the forefront of the world in terms of technology, but he is also much more financially stable than other directors.

So, according to Nanaya's request, Washimine's staff in Hollywood quickly sent a lot of actor information for Nanaya to select.

Most of these actors have gained a certain degree of fame, but their pay is not very high.

This was also Nanaya's special request. The CGI cost for the original character was already quite high, and if an extremely expensive actor was chosen, then what would happen to the other characters?

In the end, Nanaya chose someone he was relatively familiar with from among many actors to play the role of Hercules.

In addition, there is Gawain, who has reshaped his body and gained muscle, and Illya, who has been waiting on standby.

In this way, all the characters needed for the early stage of shooting are gathered.

However, after all the actors arrived, the first thing Nanaya did was not to shoot, but to take Illya to do recording.

Although we will record the video simultaneously during the live shooting, it will be troublesome if the little girl's voice starts to change by then.

Who knows when the little girl's voice will change, so it would be wise to record a few more audio clips while her voice is still a loli voice in case of emergency.

To this end, Nanaya not only recorded the lines in the script, but also asked Illya to record various voices that might be needed in the Fate movie.

Nanaya didn't even let go of the words used to act cute and coquettish in daily life.

"Illya, you are really amazing!"

Nanaya gave Illya a thumbs up. The little loli's cute voice purified his soul.

Illya took off her headphones and asked in confusion, "Oni-chan, these words are completely beyond what the original movie needs."

"Just in case, it might be useful if I want to shoot some daily clips in the future. People can be solved with makeup, but voice is different. To make it as perfect as possible, we can only collect it in advance now."

Nanaya believes that even if these sounds are not used in the movie in the end, it will not be a loss.

For example, you can make it into a voice alarm clock app and sell it on Google and Apple stores.

You know, there will definitely be a lot of people who like loli voices.

After all, this is the voice collection of the cute and soft Illya.

If it really doesn't work, the worst that can happen is to compress it into a CD and sell it to Kiritsugu at a high price. I believe that the daughter-obsessed man will be willing to buy it no matter how expensive it is.

Thinking of this, Nanaya bewitched Illya.

"Hey, Illya-chan, how about trying this again?"

Illya took the note from Nanaya and saw the words "Kiritsugu, I hate you the most" written on it.

"Oni-chan, you really go too far." Illya felt a little sorry for her father.

"It's just so-so."

Nanaya chuckled and decided to put this sentence in the middle of the audio collection when the time comes.

In this way, when Kiritsugu was listening to his daughter's cute voice, he suddenly said this, and that guy must have felt extremely sour.

That feeling is definitely similar to when you are watching an action movie and a photo of a female ghost is suddenly inserted.

"So..."

Illya sighed, put her headphones back on and turned on the recording device.

"Kiritsugu, I hate it the most."

Illya said in a deliberately gloomy tone.

"What a masterpiece! Illya, you really are the best!"

This sentence made Nanaya excited.

"Hey, Oni-chan, your nose is bleeding!"

"What does it matter? Illya is so cute. I have no regrets in dying."

As he spoke, Nanaya collapsed on the floor of the recording studio due to excessive blood loss.

"I say, is Director Kiryu sick?"

Gawain, who was recording in the studio with him, asked curiously.

"Shut up, I'm melted by the cuteness of the loli." Nanaya replied in a buzzing voice.

——————————————————————————

By the time everything was ready and we could start filming, it was already August.

The crew finally chose Einzbern's Castle, an ancient castle in Norway on the Scandinavian Peninsula.

This ancient castle is located on a high mountain covered with coniferous forests, and it meets Nanaya's expectations in every way.

The style is more Nordic, rather than the German style that Nanaya expected.

However, if we modify some details during shooting, I believe the problem will not be too big.

Everyone arrived in August. For Norway, which has a subarctic coniferous forest climate, July, the hottest warm season of the year, had just passed.

At this time, the local weather has begun to turn cooler. Although it has not snowed, the average temperature has reached 10℃.

At the same time, it is accompanied by extremely high humidity left over from the warm season, which causes various types of fog to appear on the shooting location sooner or later.

Although from a positive perspective, it was nature that took the initiative to create the atmosphere that the crew wanted.

But for most of the crew members who live in Japan and Los Angeles all year round, this climate is still a bit uncomfortable.

However, this did not disturb Nanaya's enthusiasm for filming, and his long-cherished wish finally came true.

Not to mention small problems like climate, even various other difficulties would not be the reason for Nanaya to stop.

The only thing that made Nanaya feel a little uncomfortable was that he felt that time had passed too quickly this year.

Clearly in his memory, it seemed like the day before yesterday that he spent the New Year soaking in the hot springs with everyone.

Now that 2003 is halfway through, it feels a little unreal to Nanaya.

"Maybe I spent too much energy arguing with Kiritsugu."

Nanaya snorted coldly. He thought he might be able to single out Illya's words "Kiritsugu, I hate you the most".

Then use the subwoofer to play the music in an endless loop towards the Linbao Building.

Maybe this could turn Kiritsugu's originally gloomy constipated face into a painful shitting face.

"When the time comes, please take a picture of it, Illya, and send it to me."

Thinking of this, Nanaya perked up. He picked up the loudspeaker and shouted to the others present.

"Everyone get ready, "Fate stay night" first scene, first act, Action!"
