"Go inform Sister Katsura."
Nanaya knew one thing very well, if he couldn't afford to offend someone, then couldn't he just hide from them?
He gave further instructions directly to Ryan.
"The shoot will start in half an hour. Let her get ready as soon as possible."
"I understand, boss."
Ryan deliberately answered in a calm tone, then slowly turned around and left the studio.
Nanaya pretended not to see it and turned around to direct the staff to set up the scene.
Currently, Nanaya is going to shoot the last scene of Tomoe Mami, where the Sweet Witch lets her be the "senior".
I don't know if it's because the director is Shinbo, but I always feel like there's something wrong with the storyboards of the animated version and the theatrical version of Nanaya's Memory.
It cannot be said to be a problem of storyboarding. It seems more like a problem of allocating the number of frames of several storyboards.
The speed at which the Sweet Tooth Witch's true form appeared was too fast, but the speed at which she opened her mouth and bit my head felt too slow.
Based on Mami's previous performance.
If the Sweet Tooth Witch really had this speed of biting heads, Mami should have been able to dodge it.
But, Mami just stood there stupidly and got bitten.
Although Nanaya had seen statements such as slow motion playback or Mami being scared silly in his previous life.
But Nanaya felt more like the aftereffect of the new house's method of saving money and delaying time.
Although it could also be Nanaya's own illusion.
But with Nanaya's many years of production experience, if he completely copied the storyboards of the animated version.
Then this set of shots will become very awkward in a live-action movie, making people feel uncomfortable no matter how they watch it.
Nanaya has been working on live-action adaptations of animations since "Kara no Kyoukai".
He is well aware that adapting anime into a live-action version is not simply about replacing the images in one's mind with real people.
Due to the characteristics of live-action movies, the restoration of these shots requires various modifications.
Yui Aragaki and Rin soon appeared on the set.
In comparison, Luvia, the protagonist of this shot, has a more complicated and time-consuming makeup application.
In order to ensure perfect interaction between some actions and scenes during post-production special effects production.
In addition to normal makeup, Luvia also needs to install a lot of sensors on her body.
However, the effect of Luvia's makeup is indeed amazing.
When Luvia walked into the set dressed as a magical girl, she instantly attracted everyone's attention.
Although it was not the first time, when everyone saw this blonde beauty, they couldn't help but admire her moving beauty.
Fair skin, a proud figure, and a light white and yellow girl's skirt.
This makes Luvia possess both the mature allure of a mature woman and the pure vitality of a young girl.
Obviously, they should be two completely different styles, but this noble lady from Northern Europe has them perfectly compatible.
Luvia was very satisfied with everyone's gazes. In her opinion, as someone with top-notch beauty, it was natural for her to attract people's attention.
She walked over to Nanaya first and whispered, "Sorry, it took me a little long."
"It's okay." Nanaya glanced at his phone, "You're not late."
From Tomoe Mami...
Oh, no.
It was Luvia who moved away and Nanaya said loudly, "One last confirmation, the shooting will officially begin in ten minutes!"
Although the scene itself is not very difficult, as the first major transition of the entire movie, it is definitely one of the most important scenes.
As for how to present the moment when Mami becomes the headless senior, Nanaya already had an idea in his mind.
As for the scale, thanks to Sony's "Venom" movie in its previous life.
It let Nanaya know how a PG-rated movie should conduct a decapitation scene.
Ten minutes later, all departments were ready.
Nanaya glanced at the positions of Luvia and the other two, then shouted to start.
In the green screen venue, Luvia, wearing a magical girl costume, jumped onto a support ladder.
From the crane controlled by the lighting team, several beams of light shone on Luvia from all directions.
Make this battle-hardened magical girl look both gorgeous and elegant.
Nanaya had read the official novel of "Madoka Magica".
The novel describes Mami Tomoe's battle in a very general way, simply using the word "elegant" to pass it by.
But in order to express this word perfectly, Nanaya and Li Wenshu consumed countless brain cells.
Finally, with the help of countless other works, they designed a set of action figures that best suit Mami.
Luvia moved her long legs, her steps light and graceful.
Even though it was a battle, it felt like a dance.
Finally, she turned around gracefully and swung her right hand casually.
After imagining the void ribbon tying up the enemy, Luvia raised her left hand holding the gun.
"Tomoe-senpai!"
Rin and Gakki, who were hiding in the corner, cheered.
"There's nothing to be afraid of anymore."
Luvia smiled confidently and charmingly.
"Because I'm not alone anymore!"
As she spoke, Luvia pulled the trigger.
At this time, Luvia's lens was facing the camera, and her handsome and heroic figure was fully captured by the camera.
"Cut!"
Nanaya called for a stop, "Luvia, well done, let's do it again."
Next, the same seven nights were filmed several times from various angles.
This is a record as complete as possible of Mami Tomoe's last highlight moment.
Then comes the U-turn plot.
Under the control of mechanical props, the simple-looking sweet witch's big mouth slowly approached Luvia.
The fearless girl finally showed a look of fear on her face.
Click.
With a crisp crunch and the sound of the Soul Gem shattering, Mami completed her mission in the story.
The senior is dead, and the cute king should be in power.
"Luvia, just go with peace of mind. Pfft... Gakki and I will carry on your legacy."
Off camera, Rin said with a look of sorrow.
"Hey, I'm not dead yet!"
Luvia, whose head was suffocated by the tool, let out an unwilling cry.
Unfortunately, Rin seemed not to hear it. She continued to recite the eulogy she had improvised.
"Pfft…your spirit will live on forever…hahahahaha! I can't take it anymore, I'm dying of laughter! The death of Langsi really suits you perfectly! Hahahaha!"
Listening to Rin's unbridled laughter, Nanaya, who was packing up, had a face full of #.
[This girl really needs a good spanking! ]
Nanaya kept repeating this in his heart.
··
With the end of the scene where the senior turns around, the crew of "Madoka Magica" has completed a small stage in the filming of the action scenes.
In fact, there is also a scene where the Soul Gem shatters, but Nanaya planned to use full CG production for that scene and did not think about physical shooting.
After completing the filming of all of Tomoe Mami's scenes, Luvia left New Zealand and went to Los Angeles, USA.
There, the crew of "Iron Man 2" was waiting for their heroine to come home.
Nanaya and his crew continued to work hard in New Zealand.
The filming lasted until early February.
It wasn't until this year's Super Bowl was approaching that Nanaya gave the crew a few days of long vacation again.
It's not that Nanaya is a football fan, but with the release of the Super Bowl trailer for "Inferno", the film has officially entered the final promotion stage.
Therefore, Nanaya took Bali to the headquarters of Washimine Entertainment in the United States to discuss the specific release plan of "Purgatory Fire" with the other party's senior management.
Even though Nanaya gave the crew a holiday, this does not mean that the crew of "Madoka Magica" will have to wait until Nanaya returns to continue filming.
You have to know that it took several months from the time Nanaya left in February to the end of the promotion and marketing cycle of "Inferno".
Nanaya wasn't so kind as to give the crew a vacation for several months in a row.
Besides, even if Nanaya really gave them such a long vacation, they might not be happy about it.
Even if Nanaya provides food and accommodation, he still can't provide salary, right?
Do you still want to make money?
So after the holiday, the "Madoka Magica" crew will start their own filming tasks.
When Nanaya is away, the crew of "Madoka Magica" will shoot some relatively trivial shots or small scenes.
These scenes could have been completed even without Nanaya as the director.
With Shiki Matsuno and Taika Waititi hosting, Nanaya is still very reassuring.
However, a small incident occurred when Nanaya was traveling to North America.
Ryan was not originally on the list of Nanaya's entourage.
However, Bali had too much to do in North America this time, and she was afraid that she couldn't handle it all by herself.
So after getting Nanaya's consent, Bali also brought Ryan along.
Nanaya felt that the assistant's presence here might be a good opportunity.
There was a small misunderstanding between Nanaya and Ryan before.
Although Nanaya didn't know why he made Ryan angry at that time.
But as for women, when they are angry, don't care why they are angry, just coax them honestly.
Maybe Ryan is playing with the setting of "quarrel between boyfriend and girlfriend" now.
After all, not even Nanaya knew what strange thing Lily showed her sister.
Since Ryan is now a member of the crew, it is natural for Nanaya to start with the movie aspect.
"Have you read the entire script, Ryan?"
Nanaya withdrew his gaze from the white clouds outside the plane window and looked at Ryan who was sitting opposite him.
"What's wrong?"
Ryan looked at Nanaya with confusion.
"If you read the script, you'll understand why I said Sayaka Miki is my favorite character in the entire script."
Ryan pushed aside a strand of his blonde hair that happened to fall in front of his eyes.
There was a smile on her heroic face.
"Of course I have read it. After all, I am also working in this crew, so of course I will try my best to understand the film within the scope of my authority."
Ryan knew, of course, that Nanaya was chatting with her on purpose, but she admitted that the topic was still quite attractive to her.
In fact, Ryan was also very curious about why Nanaya cared so much about the character of Sayaka Miki.
