Don't call me Master, call me Director

Because everyone soon discovered that the pure horror level of HF is actually the same.

In the words of horror movie lovers, although Hassan Murder at Ryudongsa Temple is wonderfully filmed, it is not as scary as other horror movies.

The reason why HF is so famous is entirely because those audiences who usually don't have much exposure to horror movies went to see HF because of Fate's name.

In fact, if you look at the entire first episode of HF, you will find that the horror element only accounts for less than one-third of the entire episode.But because this plot is in the second half, it will be mentioned many times.

Putting aside the horror elements and watching the first episode of HF as a whole, everyone found that this episode is a bit complicated, with a little bit of every element.

In the complete works, there are youthful love that makes people bump into each other, sweet dog food for couples, clowns that make people laugh, action dramas that make people feel emotional, and horror scenes that make people horrified. .

However, Shen Er's excellent storytelling ability makes HF, although there are many elements, complex but not chaotic.

The only disadvantage is that after getting used to the extremely fast storytelling rhythm of Shinji FSN and FZ, the slow rhythm of HF in the early stage may be a little uncomfortable.

But in any case, as a series released in the OV mode, HF is far superior to other works released in the OV mode in terms of the size of the cast and the sophistication of the production.

Just look at the Seven OV produced by Tsuburaya. It is obviously only two years earlier than Dijia, but the two feel like works of two eras.

This is not referring to the quality of the script of the work, but the special effects, fighting and stage scenery.

The same situation is also reflected in Tsuburaya’s other Naios Ultraman OV. The finished product has a similar feel to Gauss Ultraman, and the gap in funding can be seen with the naked eye.

And what about HF?

If someone mixes the fights between Lancer and Archer, Saber and Berserker in the two works, there is hardly any difference.

You can't even tell which lens is UBW and which is HF, except for fans who have already seen it.

With such an excellent production, coupled with Fate's IP blessing, the 20 sets of DVD version released in the initial release of HF were sold out in just two days, and all major stores announced that they were sold out.

This virtually created hunger marketing made HF's reputation even louder and further promoted the demand for HFDVD.

For this reason, Bandai, as the distributor, had to increase the DVD production line overnight to expand production.

Even the videotape, which was about to bid farewell to the stage of history, became a spare tire for many fans because of the shortage of DVD inventory, and the sales soared.

If there are no accidents, the HF volume [-] should become the best-selling videotape in Japan this year...probably.

Who knows if there will be any miracles in the next few volumes of HF.

After all, that's Fate, and it's Fate's tradition to create miracles.

In the face of such brilliant achievements, Bandai is rejoicing.

Although Bandai's performance in the past two years is extremely impressive, the film and television department has surpassed the industry's big brother Dongbao in terms of profitability alone.

But these achievements basically come from the legendary IP of Fate and its legendary director Shinji Matou.

So when Shen Er said that he would not make movies this year and focus on TV dramas, Bandai Film and Television Department was very afraid that his performance this year would experience a precipitous decline.

As a result, Matou Shinji proved to the audience that even if it is a TV series, he can lead Bandai to make a lot of money.

Even the toy department has made a fortune from the popularity of Fate.

If Bandai still has any regrets, it is that half of their five-year peripheral agreement with Matou Shinji has passed.

With the current popularity of Fate, it is not a problem for this IP to be popular for another five years. If Matou Shinji can maintain the quality of his works, it is not impossible for this IP to be popular for another ten years.

This is the most painful thing for Bandai. The money has not been earned enough, and the agreement is about to expire.

"We must renew the contract with Shinji Matou as soon as possible. Even if Bandai can't guarantee exclusive access to all the merchandise, at least we must keep the exclusivity of the toy model!"

The Bandai board of directors issued such an order to Udagawa Nanou.

Although there are still more than two years before the agreement expires, such negotiations involving tens of billions of yen in profits will not be negotiated in a few months.

It is still necessary to plan ahead.

Udagawa Nanou himself does not have full confidence in whether he can discuss the Xingyue list.

Don't look at her having a hot fight with Shinji's second uncle Kariya now, but in the Japanese workplace where public and private are clearly distinguished, this relationship will not add any benefits to the negotiation at all.

In particular, the person she wants to negotiate with is Shinji Matou. Uda Chuannanou still can't forget how shrewd Shinji was when they negotiated for the first time.

In Ms. Udagawa's heart, Shen Er is the reincarnation of Grandet, that cheapskate.

When Uda Chuannanou came to Xingyue Company in Fuyuki City with a make-or-break mentality, he found that several old acquaintances including Shinji were planning to go out together.

"There are so many people, are you going to start a team building, or a banquet?" Udagawa Nanou asked, "Is it still early for the end of the year?"

Shen Er rubbed his stomach, and said helplessly: "We are going to the cinema to see the effect of the finished clip of the new movie."

"you are sick?"

"No, Sakura dropped worms in lunch at noon... Ms. Udagawa, do you want to go and have a look together?"

"Wait, I seem to have heard something extraordinary, and why did I change the subject..." Uda Chuannanou wanted to ask.

But Shen Er didn't give her a chance: "How about going to see it? This is the first time that a new technology is actually applied. It is a new technology that can change the film industry and cross the age~"

Although Shinji has seen naked-eye 3D effects with ordinary projection equipment before, it is the first time that IMAX screens are used today.

There is no way, the IMAX screen is too expensive, so expensive that just touching the screen with your hand will cost tens of thousands of dollars in maintenance costs.

So it is the first time that IMAX plays naked-eye 3D movie clips today.

"Is it new technology?"

Uda Chuannanou didn't think much of the new technology that Shinji said. In her opinion, no matter how new the film technology is, it just makes the special effects more real.

From the audience's point of view, new technology is amazing, but from the perspective of practitioners, there is no essential difference between new technology and old technology.

But Uda Chuannanou is still going to follow Shen Er to find out, wanting to see what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of this mysterious director.

Chapter 147 Welcome to the 3D Era

Xingyue Cinema welcomed its first batch of new guests today after several months of remodeling.

If it is an ordinary screen, it is not so troublesome to modify the naked-eye 3D. If the quality of the local Lingmai is good, the debugging can be completed within a week, and multiple screens can be modified at the same time.

There is also the problem of the expensive IMAX screen, coupled with the huge screen, refitting is far less easy than building a new one.

Fortunately, this modification is a one-off, unless the screen is damaged afterwards, there is no problem of rework.

Over the next few months, there will be continuous free screenings of "Super 8" clips for the exhibition.

The effect of 3D movies is still the best when you experience it yourself. Saying it is awesome is not as impressive as experiencing it once.

As Shinji's base camp, the IMAX theater in Fuyuki City is the first theater to show "Super 8" clips for free.

After that, this kind of free screening will be extended to most IMAX in Japan, even Asia, and even the whole world.

Shinji hopes that through this method, movie fans can experience the charm of glasses-free 3D + vibration + IMAX full-frame, and it is best to cultivate their habit of watching IMAX movies.

The IMAX movie in Fuyuki City is a standard hall. Even if it is the first time for such a commemorative screening, only Shinji and his group are too few.

So Shinji also invited some reporters and filmmakers, and even several North American filmmakers who were filmed at the Fuyuki City studio were also invited to observe.

But even so, the huge IMAX theater was not full, and there were still a lot of vacancies.

This is also the reason why Shinji invited Uda Chuannanou. Anyway, there are vacancies, so many friends are nothing at all.

As for the extra vacancies, Shen Er asked the cinema to randomly invite the audience of the cinema to experience it for themselves.

"Yo, junior, you finally brought someone here."

Entering the theater, Cheng Zi, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his hand to greet Shen Er.

"I'm sorry to trouble Senior Sister this time, and please help me a lot later." Shen Er smiled and shook hands with the other party.

"Well~ well~ I also learned a lot from this technology, it's not a loss or a loss~" Chengzi smiled very freely.

"Sister, what do you think of our technology?"

Hearing Shen Er's question, Cheng Zi shrugged: "The cost of filming and screening is the key to the popularization of technology. There are also movies that need to use our technology as much as possible."

During the period of studying 3D technology, Cheng Zi did a lot of homework, so she knew the reason why the technological version of 3D technology had not yet been promoted.

Shen Er nodded: "Yes, I am not the only one who has to work hard."

The 3D movie market is huge, and no matter how high Shen Er's production is, he can't satisfy the entire market. Other 3D movie projects must be launched.

Shen Er already had several options in his mind, and he will see if he can find a suitable director and team when the time comes.

"It seems that this technology is really bluffing."

Behind the line, Udagawa Nanou whispered to Kariya.

Kariya raised his neck proudly: "Of course, to be honest, I was taken aback."

The use of naked-eye 3D technology has not been disclosed to the public by Shen Er. Apart from the insiders of the crew, only Johnny and others who participated in the negotiation last time knew about it.

But both V6 and SMAP are old artists, and the members know very well what should be said or not.

As for the Kitagawa siblings, although they dismiss the so-called naked-eye 3D, they are not talkative people.

So even Bandai, where Uda Chuannanou is, doesn't know what Shinji did in "Super 8", they just received an order to make a commemorative transformation device for the theater version.

From Kariya's words, Udagawa Nanou felt great confidence.

Originally, she would participate in this preview, more to take care of Shen Er's face, but now she really has a lot of interest in these new technologies.

"Then I'll wait and see."

Uda Chuannanou smiled slightly and followed the team into the screening room.

Under the guidance of the staff, the guests and audience entered the screening hall one after another.

The most conspicuous thing at the front of the fan-shaped hall is the huge screen. Many viewers have to look up to see the top of the screen.

When Uda Chuannanou and others sat down, they heard several reporters behind them discussing in a low voice.

"This time we were called to the IMAX theater, wouldn't it be just to show the IMAX projection equipment? I heard that Matou Shinji's new movie was shot with IMAX cameras."

"In that case, it would be nice for us to go to the Science and Technology Museum. Although there are not many documentaries shot by IMAX cameras, there are still many."

"Indeed, this mere gimmick has no practical meaning at all."

"After all, he is the current box office champion. Even if it's just farting, why don't we come over and smell it?"

Hearing the sarcasm from the reporters in the back row, Tosaka Tokiomi, who was also invited, turned his head and whispered in Kotomine Risei's ear, "Do you think Shinji-kun is reliable? Don't be self-defeating."

"Just watch."

Kotomine Rizheng still trusts Shen Er very much when it comes to movies, this junior has never let him down.

The lights in the auditorium dimmed, and the picture began to appear on the screen.

Because the film has not yet been finished, of course, the trial screening will not be the finished film, but three clips, totaling 20 minutes of samples.

As a matter of fact, Shen Er held this test screening with the idea of ​​testing to some extent, so the selected clips are very representative.

The first clip is the battle between Mebius and the deep-sea monster Guvila, which can be regarded as showing the naked-eye 3D + vibration audio-visual effect to all the audience present.

The second clip is the doomsday Yokohama. Shinji used the green screen + post-production CG production mode for this episode.

When shooting, the magic paint is first painted on the green screen scene, and the details of the scene are made with CG after the arrangement is completed, and the recorded paint is used for 3D presentation.

I chose this section of Shen Er because I wanted to see how well the CG scene fits with the 3D stereo, and whether there are any gaps.

As for the last clip, the Heisei Three Heroes are selected for air combat against the Five Emperor Beasts.

The reason for choosing this is very simple. There are a lot of sports shots in this group of shots, which is the best material to test the audience's 3D dizziness.

Although it is unavoidable that everyone will not be dizzy in 3D, Shen Er must at least ensure that 3% of the people in his 99D movies will not be dizzy, otherwise the promotion of technology will definitely be hindered.

Through the feedback from this broadcast, Shen Er will make targeted adjustments in the future to ensure the perfection of the technology when it is finally introduced to the market.

The audience present did not know that they had been treated as guinea pigs. At this time, they were surprised by the scene displayed on the IMAX screen.

Tohsaka Tokiomi stared at the screen, his brows subconsciously frowned. He had already found that the pictures on the screen were different from the movies he had seen before, but he couldn't say much about the specific differences.

"This is where the IMAX camera is so awesome." A reporter behind him said to others, "Although the previous Fate/Zero was played with IMAX equipment, it was not shot with professional IMAX equipment, so the effect It’s still a bit worse.”

"It's different this time, because it was shot with an IMAX camera, so the picture shown on the screen is not so clear, and it is almost the same as what you see with the naked eye in reality."

"But this is not a new technology, as early as the 60s..."

The "Understanding Brother" reporter lost his temper before he finished speaking.

because--

"The effect of the collapse of this building is too realistic! It's almost as if it's about to hit your face!"

At the beginning of the clip, the scene of the deep sea monster Guvila destroying the city stunned all the audience.
