After returning to New York, Nanaya did not follow everyone to move into the newly built Chaldea in the suburbs.
Nanaya directly assigned the filming work to Ori, asking him to help shoot the scenes that did not require Romani to appear.
Nanaya himself left the FGO crew and started to deal with other work.
Nanaya has been concentrating on filming on the set for the past few months, and a lot of other things have piled up.
Therefore, during the first month after returning to New York, Nanaya will no longer go to the FGO crew to participate in filming. He will use this time to take care of work other than filming.
At present, Nanaya is involved in the planning of several projects as a producer.
Nanaya first made an appointment to meet with Peter Jackson to discuss the preparations for the first singularity of FGO.
As new ideas kept coming up, Fat Peter kept revising the script after confirming the actors.
After many rounds of coordination and revisions, the script for the second film in the FGO series has been finalized, and the film's title has also been determined as "FGO—The Saint Who Saves the Nation."
Nanaya has been struggling with whether the subtitle of the FGO series movie should be the name of the singularity in the game, the title name, or a separate name.
Finally, Nanaya found that the title of the game was the most appropriate.
Because the title not only encompasses the content of the movie but is also relatively short, it is easier for movie fans to remember.
As for the rest of the film, Nanaya left it up to Peter Jackson to do his own thing.
Just as promised to the other party, Nanaya would not interfere with Fatty Peter's directing work.
Of course, it is also impossible to let Peter Jackson completely let go.
The director's power must be given, but there must also be appropriate constraints.
After all, Peter Jackson was the director hired by Washimine.
Not to mention Fatty Peter, even Nolan, who has obtained the final editing rights, will also be restricted by Warner Bros.
This constraint does not mean a lack of trust in the director's ability, but serves as a safeguard.
If the director, who is the captain of the ship, steers the ship towards an iceberg, these constraints can help steer the ship back to a safe course.
In any case, Nanaya is very much looking forward to Peter Jackson's "The Saint".
Although the possibility of surpassing "The Lord of the Rings" is very small.
But as long as the quality is at the same level as The Hobbit trilogy in the previous life, I believe that with the IP value of Fate, it will definitely be a commercial success.
Nanaya opened the FGO pit just to make money. There is nothing to be shy about, and there is no need to give himself a high-sounding shell.
As a director, Nanaya has received most of the glory.
Nanaya doesn't think there is any difference between one Oscar and two Oscars, nor is there any need for it.
The only thing that can motivate Nanaya now is to make a movie break the $3 billion mark.
This is an achievement that no other movie has ever achieved before Nanaya.
It is also a task that Nanaya thinks is very challenging.
This is also the reason why Nanaya spent so much energy on the layout of FGO.
"Madoka Magica" and "Avatar" are already the limits of single movies.
If you want to go further, you can only win by quantity.
Because Nanaya had a ready-made example in his mind.
MCU's "End Game" took advantage of Marvel's ten-year momentum and stepped on the corpse of "Avatar" to become the number one in film history.
Although Nanaya is a loyal fan of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, "End Game" is indeed an excellent work from a fan's perspective.
But if we really want to say whether "End Game" is the best movie among the more than 20 movies in Marvel's three phases.
Even die-hard fans of Marvel movies will have some discussion.
Putting aside the emotional bonus of being a fan, Nanaya can find a lot of problems when looking at "End Game" from the director's perspective.
For example, the pace in the early stages was too slow, the action scenes were too concentrated, and the Soul Stone plot seemed to be copied from "Infinity War".
Even the time travel part has many small problems worth complaining about.
It is precisely because of this imperfection that many people doubt whether "End Game" can become the box office champion.
After all, Marvel isn't perfect.
This is an objective fact that must be acknowledged.
But such an imperfect movie gave a perfect commercial answer.
So if the movie can be made perfectly, can it break the $3 billion mark?
Nanaya didn't know, but he wanted to try.
The day after meeting Peter Jackson, Nanaya went to the post-production studio of Washimine Entertainment.
The filming of "Tsuki-hime 2" has been completed, and Shiki Matsuno is currently in post-production.
Compared to the first part, "Tsuki-hime 2" went very smoothly from preparation to shooting to post-production.
Compared to the remake of "Tsuki-hime" that had been on the verge of dystocia in Nana's previous life, this treatment is really much better.
Four Seasons said it would be able to produce a finished film by the end of September, just in time for this year's Halloween season.
When the first part of "Tsuki-hime" was being filmed, many people had doubts.
Will the audience buy into this male version of "Twilight Colors" after it's dressed up in Type-Moon's skin?
It turns out that Washimine Entertainment did indeed borrow the popularity of vampire romance brought by "Twilight".
But "Tsuki-hime" is not a crudely made follow-up work.
Although the film had a limited budget, the plot and story are very exciting.
The box office results also accurately show that not only girls like to watch the story of "Prince Charming", but boys are also very interested in the story of "Princess Falling from Heaven".
Nanaya and Shiki had already discussed this in order to highlight the difference between the "Tsuki-hime" series and the Fate series.
The story of "Tsuki-hime" will focus more on the plot and emotions.
Compared to Fate, which relies on various big scenes to attract audiences, "Tsuki-hime" is much more delicate in its performance.
The emotional scenes between the male and female protagonists in "Tsuki-hime", which were praised by the audience, were also reflected in the story of "Tsuki-hime 2".
Although the overall script of "Tsuki-hime 2" is new, the framework of the story is actually not original.
As a multi-line Gal, it would be a waste to completely exclude other character routes in "Tsuki-hime".
Therefore, after the issue of Arcueid was resolved in "Tsuki-hime", the focus of the story turned to the Tohno family.
Tohno Shiki and Arcueid became a couple, but their relationship was opposed by their sister Tohno Akiha.
The story of "Tsuki-hime 2" unfolds between the relationship between the hero and heroine, and family conspiracy.
Shiki Matsuno productions had a very successful start, which laid a solid foundation for the Tsuki-hime series.
When the first film in a series is successful, it means that it has established a basic foundation.
Nanaya hopes that "Tsuki-hime 2" can be even more successful based on the first part.
Of course, Nanaya'success is not necessarily a film award.
He hopes that "Tsuki-hime 2" can get more box office revenue and more peripheral income.
According to the expected goals set by him and Shiki, the profits of the sequel "Tsuki-hime 2" will increase by ten to fifteen percent.
It is not easy to achieve this.
After all, this is not just a box office result, but the overall operating profit of the project.
Fortunately, when Nanaya and Shiki first started working on "Tsukihime", they had plans for long-term operation.
After the story of the Tohno family is finished in the second part, the third part will continue the plot of the manga version of "Melty Blood" as the main line.
Anyway, for Type-Moon's fans, the journey is long and arduous, and the official is only responsible for opening the pit but not filling it.
I can only say that you need to be cautious when entering the pit. Cherish your life and stay away from the pit.
The overall tone of "Tsukihime 2" still continues the style of the previous one.
But in terms of story and scene setting, the second part is far more grand than the first.
Except that the production budget has increased due to the success of the previous film.
In terms of the plot, Shiki Tohno and Arcueid just met in the previous film, and the story between them has not yet unfolded.
The dispute between the True Ancestor and the Dead Apostles, the internal conspiracy of the Tohno family, and the struggle between the four major demon-exorcising families, etc.
All of these contents will be shown in "Tsukihime 2".
Shiki Matsuno designed many plots in the movie and organically pieced them together, allowing the audience to have a clearer understanding of the entire "Tsuki-Hime" series and the worldview of the Moon World.
Due to the success of the first part, Washimine Entertainment also attaches great importance to the "Tsukihime" series.
Although the post-production has not been completed yet, the promotion of the film has already begun.
The leading actors of the film, such as Yoshinaga Yukari, John Cho, etc., have now dispersed across the United States to participate in various film promotion activities to build momentum.
Now Washimine is no longer the small company that had to ask for help from everyone in order to add a few cinemas during the "Goblins Slayer" period.
Plus, Tsuki-hime 2 is a sequel to a successful movie.
In North America alone, Washimine has confirmed that more than 4,000 theaters will screen "Tsuki-hime 2" for the first round.
If the old movies in the previous two weeks do not perform well, "Tsuki-hime 2" may be able to open in 4,500 theaters in North America.
In addition, thanks to Washimine's rapid development in recent years, Washimine Entertainment's global distribution capabilities have also been significantly enhanced.
There are more than 50 countries and regions that release the film simultaneously with North America, including China.
After years of hard work, with the release of "Madoka Magica" as an opportunity, Washimine finally opened a corner of the door to the Chinese market.
This simultaneous release is just a prelude to the cooperation between the two parties. In the future, Washimine Entertainment will have more and more films released simultaneously in China and North America.
Because of censorship and other miscellaneous issues, most North American films find it difficult to be released globally simultaneously when introduced to China.
In the past, it was already very rare for Washimine Entertainment's films to be introduced to China one week later.
There are many cases like "Madoka Magica" which was delayed for nearly two months.
The biggest influence is naturally Marvel movies.
Due to the lack of influence like Paramount and Disney, "Avengers" was released in China several days later than in North America.
Although "Tsuki-hime 2" is not a core project of Washimine Entertainment, its simultaneous release is indeed a good omen.
