Chapter 209: Chapter 205 Berserker is the strongest
Mark Ruffalo and Gawain, standing on the roof outside the castle, were tied with safety ropes.
Not only them, but also the stuntmen who will replace them later will help with the safety ropes.
As for Nanaya and other staff members, they either sat on the lifting platform or secured their seats with safety ropes.
After all, things like ropes can be simply erased by computer, but if something goes wrong with people, the impact on the operation of the entire crew will be measured in weeks.
In the original game plot, the battle between Gilgamesh and Hercules can be said to be completely one-sided.
Although Uncle B broke free from the Heavenly Chains at the last moment, overall, Gilgamesh can really be described as "winning by snaking his fingers."
In fact, it's not just this battle. In the entire UBW route, except for the battles with Shirou Emiya, all other battles have a sloppy feeling.
Especially the battles between servants, there will be a sense of rush.
The game describes it this way because many servant battles have been rewritten in the previous Fate chapter.
So in order to highlight the real protagonist Shirou Emiya in the UBW route, the other battles seem a bit sloppy.
This situation is not only seen in Shirou Emiya, but also in other characters.
For example, Caster Medea, she had a lot of roles in the UBW line, but in the FATE line and HF line she basically just played a supporting role and it was forgotten.
The game has other routes to supplement the characters to make them more rounded, but this is definitely not possible when making a movie.
When it comes to shaping each character, Nanaya will definitely expand on the basis of the original UBW.
Similarly, in order to give this battle a better visual effect, it is necessary to expand it.
So in Nanaya's plan, these two real demigod monsters had to fight from inside the castle to outside and from the sky to the ground. This was a must.
The violent destruction of the castle is also necessary, only in this way can the fighting effectiveness of both sides be demonstrated.
In Nanaya's design, Gilgamesh wanted to use the Heavenly Chain to lock up Uncle B at the beginning, but the opponent dodged it.
So the two sides entered into a chase, during which Gilgamesh had to display various treasures to fight Uncle B.
Uncle B, on the other hand, is going to show his explosive power and sense of oppression.
In the end, Gilgamesh had to narrowly seize an opportunity to lock up Uncle B, thus determining the outcome of the battle.
In fact, Nanaya thinks this might be more reasonable. After all, although Hercules lost his mind because of the Berserker agency, the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm is something that even animals should have.
With his A-level agility, it is completely possible for him to dodge the Heavenly Chain.
At this time, the shot that Nanaya asked Li Wenshu to shoot was the scene when the two of them broke through the roof of the castle and reached the top.
In the design of Nanaya and Li Wenshu, in this plot, Gilgamesh needs to induce Hercules to make mistakes in various ways, so as to create an opportunity for himself to use the Chain of Heaven.
At the same time, in order to allow a certain rich man to show off his collection, Nanaya also designed a plot in which Gawain rides on Vimana.
Let him use his air-to-ground advantage to bombard Hercules in the air.
However, because the shooting of this section required a lot of special effects, Nanaya had to go back to the studio to get it done.
Like other action scenes, this one is no exception. It is also divided into countless small segments for filming.
After all, neither Gawain nor Uncle Mark are martial arts actors, so they can only shoot a short segment and then change the lens.
Stunt actors are stronger, but because they cannot show their faces, they cannot perform the same set of movements for a long time.
"I wonder how Lily is doing."
Nanaya remembered that before he left Japan, he specifically asked Lily to undergo action scene training so that she could strike more poses when the time comes.
In order to ensure shooting efficiency on foggy days, Nanaya canceled the on-site recording of several scenes.
This not only reduces the difficulty of shooting, but also speeds up the process.
At the same time, it can also make the final picture sound quality purer
Yes, pure.
Even with the most advanced sound recording equipment, uncontrollable noise will occur during live recording.
Instead of fighting against those unknown noises, it is better to wait until the later stage to make adjustments slowly, which is more operational.
However, even without the live sound recording, Gawain and Mark Ruffalo, who are the core of the camera, still don't have it easy.
After all, neither of them is a muscular actor now.
Mark Ruffalo used to be quite strong, but now he looks noticeably thin having suffered a serious illness a year ago.
As for Gawain, it goes without saying that if he had a good figure, Nanaya wouldn't have to force him to do muscle-building training.
So even though this set of shots was not too difficult to shoot and the movements were not too demanding, both of them still felt very tired after finishing the whole set.
Because they have to keep their movements from being deformed in the wind, which is a bit difficult for two people.
Despite this minor problem, this section of the plot went smoothly overall, at least there were no major problems.
After all, it would be no joke if someone really fell from the top of the castle.
"Take a break. We'll continue in the evening."
Seeing that Gawain and Mark Ruffalo's legs were starting to feel weak after coming down, Nanaya decided to let them have a good rest.
"This reminds me of the time when we were filming Kara no Kyoukai." Ori walked out of the castle. "That woman refused to jump off the building."
Ori handed Nanaya the coffee in the thermos cup.
"Here, have some coffee to warm you up."
"Thank you." Nanaya finished his coffee, took a sip and replied, "No one dares to challenge me like this now."
Nanaya's words revealed a sense of confidence, but now he didn't need to force the actors to do dangerous things like jumping off a building.
After all, convenient CGI special effects can handle most special action plots.
"Is the scenery inside finished?"
Nanaya boasted for a while, then asked.
"Well, it's done."
Ori nodded, "All that's left is filming."
"I'm sure they'll be fine."
Nanaya said as he looked at Gawain and Mark, two brothers in distress.
Ori said with some concern: "I am more worried about Illya. Can she handle that scene well?"
"It'll be okay. Illya's acting is already pretty good."
Nanaya is still very confident in the little loli.
On the other side, Gawain and Mark, a pair of brothers in distress, were also enjoying their coffee. The scene just now made them feel like they were sharing a common hardship.
"This is already my second time working with Director Kiryu. Compared to the last film, I think he is even more challenging this time."
Gawain said to his opponent that although they fought to the death in the plot, they had a good relationship in private.
"The one called Goblin Slayer? I've seen the movie."
Mark said with a stiff expression. The cold wind just now made him feel like the other half of his face was paralyzed.
"You acted well, but it's a pity that you didn't show your face. Director Kiryu was really reluctant to let such a handsome face not appear on the screen."
"That's just the setting." Nanaya on the side added.
Mark winked at Nanaya and said, "I think it's more like you're jealous that he's more handsome than you."
"Mr. Ruffalo is right. Director, you are indeed not as handsome as Gawain."
Several crew members nearby joined in the fun.
"Go away, are you itching for trouble?" Nanaya cursed with a smile.
Nanaya didn't mind this kind of little joke at all, he just regarded it as a way to liven up the atmosphere.
After resting for about an hour, when the sky began to darken, Nanaya stood up from the chair.
He clapped his hands and shouted, "Guys, let's get to work! Finish this sooner and leave this damn place sooner."
The next scene is Illya's farewell to Berserker.
Although he finally broke free from the shackles of heaven, for Hercules, who had already consumed 12 lives, his journey in this Holy Grail War had come to an end.
This scene was his final farewell to his master Illya.
Among a pile of ruins, Illya slowly walked towards Mark Ruffalo.
However, Illya's eyes were on the prop model above the other person's head - that was the position where Hercules would be after the special effects were completed.
Nanaya stood behind the monitor, observing Illya's expression through the camera, monitoring every subtle expression of Illya to prevent the little loli from laughing.
This was a very serious and sad scene, but due to technical reasons, Illya could only look at a funny prop.
To be honest, if Nanaya were to do it by himself, he would probably spend the whole process laughing.
Fortunately, Illya didn't have any big problems in this regard. Although she had a faint smile on her face, it was not a laugh but the state she should be in at this moment.
"Berserker..."
Illya finally walked in front of Hercules, she called out to her Servant softly.
"As expected...Berserker is the strongest..."
"Cut!"
Nanaya shouted stop, frowned and waved his hand, asking Illya to come over.
"Illya, your expression is a bit too much. You are just stating the most intuitive fact, not encouraging your servant, so make your expression a little lighter."
Then, Seven Nights turned to Mark Ruffalo.
"Mark, this is not the time to be expressionless. This is the last moment between Hercules and Illya, so you need to show that he cares about Illya."
"You lost to Gilgamesh, so you will be worried and afraid of what will happen to Illya next, instead of being completely calm!"
Finally, Nanaya gave instructions to Illya who was already walking towards the camera.
"Remember, Illya. You are dependent on Hercules because he is the only one you can rely on. If you really can't handle it, you can try to find someone else to help you."
"Really? Then I'll go find Oni-chan~"
Illya said with a bright look on her face.
"I'm serious, don't joke."
"I'm not kidding either~ Oni-chan~"
Loli, no, now she is considered a girl.
The silver-white girl smiled brightly.
