"Isn't this pretty good?"
Ori watched the clip of Shinji teasing Rin on the monitor and covered her mouth with her hands and laughed secretly.
"Shinji's fierce appearance but weak heart was fully demonstrated by you, Senior. The feeling of wanting to go up but not daring to do it."
"Shut up!"
Nanaya covered his face with his hands. He didn't want to say anything more.
Throughout the entire scene, Nanaya was only responsible for making an expression, and Rin did all the rest for him.
During the filming process, Nanaya didn't move from beginning to end. It was all Rin who was fiddling with her thighs and rubbing them on her palms.
Although the texture of black silk is really good...
Phew, that's not the point.
"This one looks so funny when being punched away by Lancer."
Ori didn't intend to let Nanaya go. He pointed at Nanaya's swollen mouth and said, "This is what happens when you hit a girl casually."
"Hehe."
Nanaya always felt that his junior fellow apprentice seemed to have some hidden meaning.
"But isn't this makeup a bit too exaggerated? I said the bump shouldn't be made so big, it looks ugly."
Rin, who came to watch together, felt a little sorry for her man.
"No problem. For a supporting villain like this, the more miserable their fate, the better." Nanaya explained, "This way, the audience will feel relieved."
"Is that so? Mr. Matou Shinji is so miserable, would you like to let Ms. Tohsaka Rin come to comfort your wounded heart in the evening?"
Rin whispered in Nanaya's ear in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
"You can put on this costume and think of it as a way to continue the good thing that was interrupted by Lancer? Tohsaka Rin promises not to resist."
"Ahem!"
Nanaya coughed loudly, and his action scared Ori.
"Senior, what's wrong with you? Are you trying to cough out your lungs?"
"Nothing." Nanaya said vaguely, "I'm not used to the climate in Norway. I have a slight cold."
Ori glanced at Nanaya: "Really? Why do I feel like someone is regretting that he couldn't finish the matter because of Lancer's interference?"
"Ahem! Ahem!"
This time, Nanaya coughed even more violently.
However, even though Nanaya almost broke his throat through coughing, it was not without gain. That night, as Matou Shinji, he was indeed comforted by Tohsaka Rin.
By the way, Nanaya felt that he seemed to have awakened some extraordinary habit.
During the intimate communication in the evening, Nanaya discovered that Rin's acting skills had improved significantly compared to when she first filmed "Magical Girl Illya".
At least if Nanaya hadn't known in advance that Rin was acting...
In short, role-playing is the best, and Nanaya is almost addicted to it.
Cough cough.
All of the above were jokes. Nanaya and Rin were simply having a secret rendezvous behind everyone else's back.
No matter whether others believe it or not, Nanaya himself believes it.
However, these things are just minor episodes during the filming process. Nanaya will not forget the real purpose of bringing so many people to Norway.
Half of the scenes at Einzbern Castle had been filmed before the crew was fully established, and the scene between Rin and Shinji was just a small shot in the remaining scenes.
The real highlight is the battle between Archer and Shirou.
This battle between himself is the key node in Shirou Emiya's transformation.
As mentioned before, when Archer revealed his identity to Shirou in the church, this was a [glorious moment] for Shirou Emiya.
From an academic perspective of the script, at this point the protagonist is at the lowest point in the entire story.
After this, the protagonist knows that he should make changes and climb out of the abyss, but this is not a change that can be achieved overnight.
Instead, you have to go through a series of hesitation and confusion before finally standing up from the blow.
This turning point is not an angle, but an arc.
The audience needs to see the process of the protagonist's change, rather than directly seeing the result of the protagonist's transformation.
"Thor 1" can be said to be the story in Marvel's first phase that is closest to the traditional three-act play model in terms of script structure.
But there is one aspect of this movie that is handled very inappropriately, and that is the turning point in the protagonist's transformation.
The protagonist, King Thor, experienced his own [Glorious Moment] plot - he was unable to lift his hammer in the rainstorm.
After this, Thor seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. He was no longer reckless and violent, and was friendly to people. He even took the initiative to make fried eggs for the people on Earth as a prince of the God's realm.
The audience knows that the protagonist should change in this direction, but they do not see the process of this transformation.
It was like a great monk suddenly having an epiphany.
Thor was a completely changed man after being led out of the S.H.I.E.L.D. holding cell.
He stopped obsessing over his own strength and began caring about the people around him.
But this change was so fast that it caught people off guard.
It's like when you're driving, and suddenly the steering wheel in your hands flies away.
This transition without process is so rigid and fast that it is difficult for the audience to invest their emotions in it.
The most direct consequence is the decline in the overall evaluation of the film, and many people even regard it as the most mediocre movie in the first phase of the MCU.
Of course, there are more problems with "Thor 1". For example, the abuse of oblique angle lenses is also a big complaint.
But we'll talk about this later when we have the chance.
In UBW, Nanaya found a good opportunity to show the transformation of the protagonist Shirou Emiya - fighting with his future self.
This directly makes the protagonist's process of learning [facts] concrete.
By battling with yourself, you realize the fallacy of the [lies] you believe in and begin to accept [the truth].
When Shirou Emiya stabbed the sword into Archer's chest and won the battle, it also meant that Shirou Emiya transformed into a new person.
And the subsequent battle with Gilgamesh at Ryuudou Temple is to show the audience that the [facts] that Shirou Emiya learned in the previous story are practical and applicable.
He is no longer the incomplete man he was at the beginning of the story; he has become perfect.
"I win, Archer."
In front of the camera, after piercing Archer, Shirou declared.
The red knight remained motionless.
Although his chest was pierced, judging from the settings given in the previous Seven Nights movie, it would not be difficult for Archer to use this opportunity to kill Shirou Emiya.
However, the red knight dropped his hands and showed no intention of moving.
His wish from the beginning was not to kill his past self. The moment Emiya Shirou completed his transformation, his wish had been fulfilled.
Then the Red Knight closed his eyes with relief.
"Ah." Archer sighed, "This is also my defeat."
"CUT!"
Nanaya clapped his hands vigorously and shouted.
"Very good, everyone has done a great job! Now, I declare that Fate has officially finished filming!"
"Yeah!"
All the crew members cheered loudly after hearing this, and two of them were so excited that they hugged their partners and cried with joy.
"It's finally over."
Sugiyama relaxed completely and then lay in his cousin's arms.
"Sasuke, what's wrong with you?"
Ishida Junichi quickly supported him.
"Hmm…"
Sugiyama covered his ankle and said with a wry smile: "I sprained my ankle during the last lunge."
"Call a doctor!"
Nanaya also discovered that something was wrong with Sugiyama, so he immediately asked someone to bring the doctor from the crew over.
For a film crew, any kind of accident can happen, so basically as long as the crew has enough budget, there will be a special doctor on call at all times.
"You should have just said it was NG."
While waiting for the doctor to come, Nanaya lectured Sugiyama: "What if the bones are injured?"
Sugiyama said with a silly smile: "Because it's the last shot. It would be so embarrassing if everyone delayed it for a few more days because of me."
"You…"
Nanaya shook his head helplessly. He didn't know what to say about Sugiyama's insistence.
Fortunately, after examination, the crew doctor said that Sugiyama had only sprained his ankle and had no broken bones.
However, Sugiyama must rest for some time.
Judging from the swelling on his ankle, Nanaya estimated that he wouldn't be able to walk for at least one or two months.
Thus, the filming of Fate ended with this imperfect ending.
Because the scenes in Einzbern Castle did not involve all the crew members, Nanaya took everyone back to Japan without even holding a wrap party.
For Nanaya, the next period of time may make him even busier than during the filming period.
The results of the first preview before the New Year came out, but they were not very ideal.
Although the audience who participated in the preview praised the film's exciting action scenes, many people felt a little confused about the film's setting.
"Although I can understand what the movie is about, I always feel that some of the settings are missing, which casts a veil over the movie."
This was the reaction of one of the audience members, and it was recognized by most of the test audience.
In response to this, Nanaya asked the audience to record the information they felt was missing and have someone summarize it.
Apart from some content that involves spoilers for the second half of Fate, Nanaya added other information that the audience wanted to know when editing version 2.0.
However, this makes the pace of the movie a bit slow.
In response to this situation, Nanaya had to gather some actors to reshoot certain shots, and finally came up with version 3.0 in early April.
Then, at Nanaya's request, Washimine held a third small preview.
The feedback he received this time finally put Nanaya at ease.
