During breaks in filming, discuss with the actors how to shape their characters.
This is a very interesting thing for Nanaya, because it not only allows the actors to feel the charm of the characters they play, but also allows Nanaya himself to deepen his understanding of the characters.
There are a thousand Hamlets in the hearts of a thousand people.
This sentence is not just talk. The reason why everyone is an independent individual is that everyone's thinking is unique.
Therefore, driven by different views, discussions and exchanges between actors and directors are very necessary for the filming of the film.
Although Nanaya is very aware of the director's authority, he has never been the kind of director who doesn't listen to others.
As long as the argument makes sense, Nanaya will consider the feasibility of it.
Don't assume that the director himself knows his role very well; the interpretation of outsiders is also part of the story itself.
Although outsiders often suspect that they may over-interpret certain plots, for example, an author answered a reading comprehension question on an article he wrote and got 0 points.
But the interpretation process itself is very interesting, and it is also the reason why those works are popular.
Such fan groups have actually always existed, from the Redologists who interpret the classic novel "Dream of the Red Chamber", to the White Scholars in the two-dimensional world, the Kojima scholars (Hideo Kojima) and Pokémon scholars (Pokémon) in the gaming industry, and even the Conan scholars who forcibly explain the timeline of "Detective Conan".
What these fans discuss may not be the author's original intention, and many of them may even be based on their own imagination.
But it is precisely because of these interesting interpretations that their favorite works have been promoted by countless people and loved by everyone.
Take Nanaya himself for example, he has been very interested in this kind of interpretation both in his previous life and in this life.
The point of this matter is not whether the results of the exploration are correct, but whether the process and ideas of the exploration are interesting.
In fact, Nanaya doesn't really like it. The author makes standardized interpretations in order to force fans to follow certain interpretation methods.
This is different from adding settings to expand the world view.
The latter is to make the world in the work bigger, while the former narrows the scope of interpretation of the work and makes the work more and more dead.
Perhaps some creators only hope that all those who read their works will just read according to their own ideas, and those who are different from themselves are heretics who need to be eliminated.
But Nanaya prefers everyone to come together to complete the story.
From this point of view, Nanaya is quite similar to a certain alcoholic independent game producer. No wonder these two guys can get together.
Although Fate is a commercial film, Nanaya's ambition for it is definitely not to be a simple popcorn movie.
A person's thoughts are limited. If one wants to make the work as perfect as possible, discussions like this between the director and the leading actor are very helpful to both the actors and the director.
Well, as long as those girls don't interrupt us.
Of all the actors, the one who made the most progress is undoubtedly Sugiyama Sasuke.
After repeated discussions, he had his own unique insights into the character of Shirou Emiya and slowly began to get into the state.
The most intuitive point is that the number of his NGs is getting less and less, and his grasp of Shirou Emiya in the early part of the movie is becoming clearer and clearer.
Even though Sugiyama seldom participated in other people's discussions, as long as Nanaya mentioned it, he was able to talk about the character he played, and a lot of it was his own understanding.
"I suddenly feel that you, Sugiyama, are quite suitable for acting. Although your basics are very poor, your understanding of the role is quite interesting."
After finishing the last church scene, Nanaya patted Sugiyama on the back and encouraged him.
"No way, Kiryu-sensei, you're exaggerating..."
Sugiyama said modestly, but a smug smile still appeared on his face.
"Just take the praise, you deserve it."
Nanaya hummed twice in response.
Since the earliest "Kara no Kyoukai", Nanaya's requirements for the acting skills of his actors cannot be said to be casual, but they cannot be said to be very strict either.
The characters captured by Nanaya's lens are so impressive, largely due to Nanaya's character settings and the attractive plots in the stories.
In addition, Nanaya always tries to use actors who are similar to the characters to play the roles.
Through these various tricks, Nanaya tried to minimize the impact of the actors' acting skills.
So far, the Fate project is probably the movie that Nanaya has been involved in that has the highest requirements on the actors' acting skills.
This is not an exaggeration. Just look at how Nanaya spent several weeks grinding for just a few minutes of the church plot.
Under such circumstances, Nanaya was very pleased that Sugiyama was able to make rapid progress.
Although he knew that this improvement was specific to the character of 'Emiya Shirou', it was still quite remarkable.
At least it made Nanaya, the project leader, feel a lot more relaxed.
Sugiyama is an actor who likes to think and strives to improve himself, which makes Nanaya feel that the deal with his cheap sister was not a loss.
Although no actor is irreplaceable, a diligent and obedient actor can indeed make the entire crew's life a lot easier.
There is no doubt that, like Mark Ruffalo who has already left the crew, Sasuke Sugiyama is undoubtedly such an actor.
After finishing the filming in the church, Nanaya was not in a hurry to continue filming. He gave several actors a week off to let them rest.
However, the staff behind the scenes had a harder time. The photography team and set design team, including Ryougi Ori and Shonan Rantaro, went to the agreed school to set the set after two days of rest.
Because next, Nanaya will prepare to shoot scenes at the Private Homurahara Academy.
However, Nanaya himself did not go with the set design team to set the set.
It's not that this guy was lazy, but he took advantage of this week's break to go to Tokyo.
On the one hand, Nanaya had to go back to the studio to finish his accumulated official business.
At the same time, he is also responsible for bringing some new members into the crew.
So when preparing to leave Tokyo, Nanaya went to Tokyo International Airport to pick someone up.
"Oh, it's been a long time since we last met, Brother Nanaya. I've been looking forward to working with you again."
A woman wearing a yellow and black long-sleeved T-shirt walked into the arrival hall with a 100% natural silly smile on her face.
Nanaya greeted the friendly-looking woman: "Indeed, after not seeing you for a few years, Sister Fuji, you haven't changed at all. Thank you for your hard work this time, Sister Fuji."
The woman in front of him is none other than Taiga Fujimura, who will play herself again in Fate.
Taiga had just finished a performance in Osaka, and after returning to Tokyo this time, she will go directly to her hometown, Kobe, with Nanaya.
Such a tight schedule made Nanaya feel a little embarrassed.
"Hehe, it's okay. I'm used to this kind of thing."
Taiga waved his hand and said, "When I first started, the busiest time was when I was performing in Hokkaido, Tokyo, and Shikoku for five consecutive weeks. During that time, I never slept more than four hours a day."
"That's really hard work."
Nanaya had long heard about the hard work comedians go through in their early starting stages.
"It's okay, we've made it through."
Fujimura Taiga said as he looked behind Nanaya.
"Why can't I see Sister Ori? I thought you two were always inseparable."
Fujimura Taikawa seems to be a die-hard supporter of Nanari. She has mentioned this more than once in the show she hosts.
Thanks to this elder sister, the scandal between Nanaya and Ori is still often reported.
Fortunately, thanks to Shiki's joining, Nanaya no longer has to worry about the issue of Ori's gender being revealed.
Well, as long as she insists that the person she had the scandal with was Ryougi Shiki, that's all.
Although Nanaya had this plan, facing the outgoing Fujimura Taiga, he could only respond with an awkward smile.
"Fuji-sister, Ori is still in Kobe City."
Fortunately, Ryougi and his sister were both in the crew this time, so they wouldn't be exposed.
"Am I the only one this time?"
"Not only that, there are quite a few people going to Kobe this time." Nanaya explained, "But the ordinary actors have already rushed to Kobe. I have three groups of people here to pick them up, including you, Sister Fuji. There is also a group coming from Hong Kong, and a group coming from the United States."
"Oh, it looks like this is going to be a big deal."
Fujimura Taiga's eyes sparkled as he said, "Let me see who you have invited, Nanaya-kun."
Nanaya smiled and replied: "You will know in a moment. Please allow me to keep it a secret for now."
The two found a place to sit in the arrival hall and chatted while waiting for the plane.
"How's Illya-chan doing? I haven't seen her since she took the day off."
Fujimura Taikawa is still very concerned about his disciples.
"Illya, she's in the voice change period right now because of her growth, so she can't take any work. But she's still as energetic as before."
Fujimura Taiga said regretfully: "Ah, this is a pity. We are used to doing the show with two people. Now it feels a bit strange to do it alone. Let's come back to see Illya-chan after we finish filming this time."
"I think she will definitely act like a spoiled brat to no limit when she sees you, Sister Fuji."
Nanaya recalled the scene when he went to see Illya the day before yesterday. When she saw him, she kept saying that she was bored at home and hoped that he could take her to the set to play.
Because Illya is now asked by Kiritsugu to go to school, she has rejected all invitations to appear in TV programs and movies.
This made Illya very depressed. She could only go between school and home every day, and at most go out for a ride on the weekends.
This was a kind of torture for the lively and active Illya.
Although Nanaya sympathized with Illya's situation, he had to admit that Kiritsugu was right.
For child actresses, it is better to take good care of their health for future development at this time, otherwise they will have no place to cry if they develop a hoarse voice.
So before the growth period ends, Nanaya can only say sorry to Illya.
