Don't call me Master, call me Director

Its status is a bit similar to Japan's "Miss Conch", which are very popular animation works only in the local area where it is broadcast.

Shinji vaguely remembered that this "The Simpsons" animated movie had been on the North American box office list in 07. Although he forgot what number it was, it must be something to avoid.

"Since The Simpsons is in the last week of June, what about the week before that?"

Cloris replied, "It's 007's new movie."

Shen Er asked directly: "Quantum of Solace?"

He remembered that 07 released in 007 was this one.

As a result, Shinji got a negative answer from Cloris.

"It's the reboot of 007 "Casino Royale." Cloris explained, "MGM watched your "Mission: Impossible" and planned to follow the example of that movie and restart the 007 series. Why would you do that? Remember "Quantum of Solace"?"

"..."

Shinji was embarrassed to say that he forgot that the 007 in this parallel world had not been rebooted to the Daniel Craig version.

In fact, Shen Er still remembered wrongly. The original historical "Quantum of Solace" was a movie released in 08.

"What about the beginning of June?"

The best way to avoid embarrassment is to ignore it, Shen Er simply asked about the next schedule.

"Kadokawa and Sony's Tokusho movie "New Gamera", this movie..."

Hearing this name, Shinji's eyes lit up immediately, "Lissie, let's just choose this week."

Shen Er had never heard of this movie, so he didn't know whether it was because of his ignorance or because of his butterfly effect.

But it doesn't matter, regardless of the quality of the movie, Shen Er will not take this movie to heart.

"Are you sure?"

Cloris obviously did not agree with Shinji's proposal, "Kadokawa and Sony invested a lot of money in this movie, and even applied for 3D technology from Xingyue. They are very ambitious."

Shen Er said nonchalantly: "No matter how ambitious you are, it's useless. Tokusatsu has never been the mainstream in Europe and America, let alone Japanese-style tokusatsu movies."

"My "Super Eight" can stand out because of the particularity of 3D technology, and there is no possibility of successful replication at all."

The first is a genius, the second is a mediocrity, and the third is a fool.

Shen Er didn't know whether Kadokawa and Sony were mediocre or stupid, he only hoped that the high-level hearts of the two companies would feel better.

After all, Xingyue's 3D technology quotations are not low, I hope they don't lose too much.

In short, this is the end of the discussion on the schedule of "Residual Pain".

Of course, the specific release date of "Residual Pain" can only be decided after Cloris returns and after discussions with senior executives of the Time Group.

After Cloris left, Shen Er, out of curiosity, went through the movie information she left behind for next year's summer.

According to the above information, this so-called big production "Shin Gamera" was jointly bought by Kadokawa, the four major Japanese companies, and Sony of Columbia Pictures. The project team also announced in a high profile that it would adopt the 3D technology of "Super Eight".

This movie seems to have an amazing momentum, and the production cost is said to be more than 5000 million US dollars, which is comparable to Shinji's "Sky Realm", but in fact it is a veritable persimmon.

Not to mention anything else, without Shinji's production concept, a film still produced with the old-school Japanese special-camera concept would not be accepted by European and American audiences at all.

Of course, if Sony and Kadokawa are willing to spend money, they will make a movie similar to the monster movie universe level of Legendary Pictures in Shinji's memory.

Even the 14th version of "Godzilla", which has the worst reputation among them, is estimated to make the two companies a lot of money.

But it's a pity that Shen Er couldn't see these contents from the project proposal. He read it carefully for a long time, and could only read the words between the words. The entire proposal was written with "old-fashioned"!

So, go all the way~

"Speaking of which, Uncle won't become the president of Sony until 09, right? I don't know if this project fails, will he be released early?"

Looking at the big Sony logo on the report, Shinji guessed in dismay.

Probably not, anyway, Sony has a big business, and a movie is still worthy of it.

How many years did Columbia Pictures lose in the previous life, isn't this still good?

Besides, Kadokawa will help share the pressure this time, so I think there won't be any major problems.

I guess so?

Shen Er's left eyelid twitched twice, he thought something good should happen.

Since it is a good thing for me, then for Sony, it is——

Ha ha.

A week later, Times Group received news that they had accepted Shinji's opinion that "The Realm of the Sky: Residual Pain" will be officially released worldwide on June 6st, the beginning of next summer's vacation. The film released on the same day is the currently scheduled " New Gamera".

When the outside world saw this news, they called him a good guy.

This year, Matou Shinji's "Super Eight" and Toho's "Godzilla" will compete, and next year's "Sky Realm" will compete with Kadokawa & Sony's "Gamera".

And this time it's more exciting, it's a large-scale premiere directly on the same day in the same week.

The smell of the needle tip is too strong for the awn, right?

"Is Matou Shinji really a Japanese director? Why do you always have trouble with Japanese film companies?"

"I heard that it was because several big film companies in Japan refused to distribute movies for him when he was on FSN. Now he has decided to take revenge one by one!"

"Ah, Matou Shinji is really small-minded."

"Isn't it? Young people are arrogant and arrogant, but they have little air."

"Yes, yes."

......

Therefore, in the next period of time, it became popular in the circle to call Shen Er with "Jia Zi must report to Shen Erlang".

Chapter 313 High EQ: Mushroom's description of characters is really detailed

After they announce the release date of the movie, whether Sony and Kadokawa will accuse this young man of not practicing martial arts and sneak attacking their two old comrades is not what Shen Er will care about.

Anyway, the so-called "New Gamera" is probably a blockbuster movie, so don't occupy the good time in early June.

The behavior of occupying the latrine and not shitting is very hated.

However, Shen Er's approach is indeed a bit unreasonable. There is a tacit understanding among most major film companies-don't argue with me when I announce the film schedule first.

The release of the two films on the same schedule is essentially a meaningless internal friction.

There is no need to choose those low-cost movies. Big productions like "Empty Realm" and "New Gamera" usually don't collide with each other unless they are for publicity.

According to past experience, this kind of schedule collision will eventually end with one of the parties compromising and modifying the schedule.

After all, for the film company, it is more important to make more money than to let the two movies collide with each other to satisfy the hobby of melons and movies.

It's as if Marvel's "Civil War" and DC's "Superman vs. Batman" collided, and Marvel took the initiative to adjust the schedule.

Therefore, some outsiders speculate that Matou Shinji set the schedule this time, probably because of the consideration of creating popularity for the new movie, and Matou Shinji may modify the schedule later.

Unfortunately, they guessed wrong this time.

Shinji didn't know if Sony and Kadokawa had any plans to modify the schedule, anyway, unless he encountered some force majeure, he would not modify the schedule.

It's strong, and it fits Shinji's character well.

As for whether Sony and Kadokawa will change their schedules in the face of their own strength, it is not within Shinji's consideration.

Who cares about the idea of ​​dry bones in the grave?

With the arrival of October, Shen Er finally completed all the preparatory work for "Sky Realm" and started shooting.

Just when Xingyue and Times Group held a press conference to announce the release date of "The Realm of the Sky: Residual Pain" in a high-profile manner, Shen Er had already left Fuyuki City with his team and went to Guanfuzi City for filming.

Before he left, "Super Eight", which was released in May, has been successively released in the world.

After more than five months of long screenings, this film, relying on the blessing of naked-eye 3D technology, finally won 3 million US dollars in North America, the largest box office.

Compared with the investment scale of the film, Shinji and Tsuburaya have already made a lot of money in North America alone.

Globally, the overseas screening of "Super Eight" has not yet ended. The current global box office has reached 7 million U.S. dollars. It is not difficult for the final global box office to exceed 6000 million U.S. dollars.

Although "Super Eight" seems a bit mediocre compared to FZ's box office record of over US$10 billion, it is still no problem to win the annual box office championship.

Moreover, "Super Eight" had a good reputation among audiences until its release in North America. With the ashes-level collection attributes of special chefs, the sales of subsequent discs and various toys will not be bad.

With the achievements of "Super Eight", Times Group has even more confidence in Shinji Matou.

For his film shooting requirements, he naturally responded to his requests, asking for money for money, asking for people to give, and asking for resources for resources.

Fortunately, Shen Er is now watching the filming in Buzi City. Otherwise, if he goes to the headquarters of Times Group, he might not be able to put his feet on the chairman's desk.

Those who didn't know, thought Matou Shinji was the boss of Times Group.

It can only be said that the one who can create profits for the company these days is the uncle.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

After arriving in Guanbuzi City with the crew, Shen Er only took a day's rest before kicking off the filming.

In the first scene of filming, Shen Er chose the fight between Liang Ri and Cheng Zi at night in the hospital.

Although in the original plot, the two rituals overthrew the dead who came to find fault, Cheng Zi simply accepted the two rituals as an apprentice, saying that he would teach her how to use the magic eye of death.

But Shen Er felt that such a whole thing was somewhat unsatisfying, and the original story of "Pain Residue" was too short. Even if the story of "Jalan's Hall" was added, the capacity of the story would not change much.

The main reason why the original novel can make so many big things in the plot into so many words is because Mushroom focuses on the psychological description of the characters.

Regarding this part of the content, Gao EQ said: It delicately depicts the psychological changes of the characters, making the characters more three-dimensional.

The saying of low emotional intelligence is: one sentence is broken into three sentences, which greatly increases the number of words.

Therefore, in order to make the plot fuller, Shen Er added the battle between Duan Chengzi and the two rituals to the plot, which can be regarded as allowing the audience to feel the fighting style of these two characters more intuitively.

Of course, this scene is said to be a battle, and it is more like testing each other, and both sides also talk about martial arts very much.

For Fuyuki City in October, not to mention the scorching sun, it is at least a day when you need to turn on the air conditioner when you sleep at night.

There are already gusts of cold wind in Guanbuzi City, and they even have to wear thicker cotton clothes when they go out in the morning and evening.

Although both cities are by the sea, the climate on both sides is completely different because of the difference in geographical location.

Although it has not yet reached the point where it snows in some places in Hokkaido, it still makes Shinji, who has lived in Fuyuki City all year round, feel a little uncomfortable.

"This place reminds me of when I first went to London."

Walking on the streets of Guanfuzi City, Shinji complained to Shirou beside him.

"It's cold and wet, and there are all kinds of fog, making it look like a large haunted house."

Having said that, Shen Er slowly let out a breath of white air and warmed his hands.

"Shenji, what you said is a bit too much, isn't it?"

Shirou next to him scratched his face, as if he felt that Shinji's statement was exaggerated.

But when the two walked into the film crew's location and saw the foggy hospital and the slightly desolate courtyard, Shirou had to admit that this place does have the meaning of a haunted house.

"Eh... the painting style of this place is quite unique."

After a moment of silence, Shirou commented slowly.

Shen Er proudly raised his eyebrows: "What did I say?"

In fact, Shen Er was also quite surprised. He originally thought that they were all fictional cities written by Mushroom. The environmental gap between Fuyuki City and Guanfuzi City should not be too big, but he didn't expect it to be so different.

Fuyuki City occasionally snows in winter, but the overall temperature is not too cold, which is a bit ashamed of the word "winter" in its name.

Shinji estimated that this should fill in the setting hole that Shirou Emiya wore a single shirt and ran out every day in the original game.

In other places, if you run out in such a suit at night in winter, you will definitely be blessed by your ancestors if you don’t catch a cold and have a fever.

As for why Shirou likes to wear unlined clothing in winter... It is probably because Takeuchi didn't want to draw more plainclothes standing paintings of Emiya Shirou out of cost considerations.

Compared with Fuyuki City, Guanfuzi City is not so livable.

It's only October and it's so cold, and it's foggy every day like London.

Just as Shen Er complained, this place is simply a large haunted house, and it is no wonder that all kinds of ghosts and snakes appear in the original "King Realm", this place itself is too dark.

However, although the environment of Guanbuzi City is not suitable for people to live in, it is very suitable for shooting.

This gloomy sky and tone are simply the natural background board for the story of "King Realm", and even the dimming can be omitted.

"Xiao Guang, let the No. [-] and No. [-] cranes extend directly above the windows in the hospital corridor."
