For now, IMAX technology is still far from the seller's market it will be in the future, so they don't have much courage when facing director Nanaya.
James Cameron, who made IMAX technology shine in history, is still making "Aliens of the Deep", which is a new technology experimental film for him.
This movie can be said to be the technical preparation made by the truck drivers for "Avatar", or even a special effects movie exclusive for IMAX3D.
But unfortunately, from a cinematic perspective, this movie is really just a technical achievement. From what Nanaya learned in his previous life, what this movie does is probably just to ensure that many IMAX theaters will not be without films to show after they open.
Visually speaking, "Deep Sea Heterosexuality" is unmatched at this stage, but in terms of commercial value, it's just so-so.
However, it was also because of this movie that James Cameron was able to come up with the masterpiece "Avatar" five years later.
Perhaps many people have complaints about the plot of "Avatar", but Nanaya believes that no one can deny that this movie has promoted the development of film special effects technology.
But looking back at James Cameron's efforts on this film, from "Aliens of the Deep" to "Avatar", it took him almost ten years to make this film.
How many decades can a person have in his life?
Even Nanaya couldn't imagine spending ten years on a single movie. He might have the patience to spend ten years writing the Type-Moon film universe, but a single movie...
From this perspective, perhaps the success of "Avatar" is inevitable.
Cough cough.
This has gone off topic.
Let's get back to IMAX, a company that wants to promote its own technology.
Before James Cameron released "Avatar".
Nanaya is a rare commercial film director who is willing to use their technology.
Therefore, as long as Nanaya is serious about making the movie, IMAX will have no choice but to obey his demands no matter how excessive they are.
Not to mention that Shion is also half the boss lady of IMAX company.
Of course, Nanaya would not make things too difficult for IMAX. If there was really a problem with the camera, he would definitely compensate them according to the price - deducted from the film budget.
No matter how expensive a camera is, it only costs $500,000.
The cost of UBW's film is over 100 million US dollars, and I believe Shion won't mind adding another 1 or 2 million.
Although IMAX is a company that makes big screens, its approach is actually quite petty.
Their cameras are only rented and not sold. Even though IMAX said it was for the sake of technical confidentiality, Nanaya knew very well that they just wanted to get more rent.
After all, selling it directly won't produce the same long-term income as renting it out.
Finally, Nanaya left Lao Li to Mediterranean and asked them to discuss how to modify the corridor scene, while Nanaya himself took the actors to shoot other literary scenes.
The redesign of the explosions and the airlifting of IMAX cameras are not something that could be done today.
Of course, the crew didn't have time to stop like this, so they had to start with other shots.
Almost three days later, just after Nanaya finished filming the scene of Shirou and Shinji meeting at the Matou family's house, Lao Li said that the preparations were complete.
"Really? That's great."
When Nanaya received the news, he had not yet removed his makeup, and he still had Shinji Matou's unique seaweed on his head.
Lao Li took a step back and said, "Nanaya, don't look at me with that smile on your face."
"What's wrong?"
"It feels like the thief is like a spirit of wakame."
"Roll!"
Nanaya gave Lao Li a middle finger.
—————————————————————————
The remodeled corridor set was exactly the same as the one Nanaya had seen before, except that some places glowed red.
"We used special fluorescent paint so that the actors could clearly tell where the explosion point was during filming."
Lao Li explained to Nanaya, "These fluorescent paints will not be much different from ordinary walls under the camera. The slight color difference will be eliminated during the color adjustment in the later stage."
"Very good. You have confirmed the power of the explosion."
The visual effects of a movie are important, but the safety of the actors is more important.
In Nanaya's mind, these actors are more valuable than IMAX cameras.
"These explosions are more like air cannons than explosions. They are not very powerful. Unless you put your eyes close to the explosion point, if you get a scratch on your skin, I'll kill you."
Old Li said proudly.
"Very good, let's start." Nanaya nodded.
When Lao Li came over to call people, Nanaya asked Lily and Yoshinaga Yukari to change their clothes.
As for Scarlett, since Medusa was in the shot just now, she only needed to touch up her makeup.
"This suit is handsome, but it's too difficult to act during filming."
Scarlett, dressed in Rider's costume, walked out of the dressing room carefully. When she saw Nanaya, she complained quietly.
"Well, let others help you."
Nanaya scratched his cheek and said.
Scarlett Johansson has always been criticized for her short legs.
But after measuring with a ruler, Nanaya found that in absolute terms, although Black Widow's legs were not as long as Ryan's, they were definitely not short.
Unfortunately, Scarlett Johansson's upper and lower body proportions are a bit problematic, which is why her legs look short.
In order to solve this problem, Nanaya asked the props team to raise Rider's high heels a little higher.
In this way, the problem of body proportions was solved, but Scarlett's movements became difficult.
Under normal circumstances, it would be fine if you just pay a little attention.
But when shooting the action scenes, I kept losing my balance and almost fell.
More importantly, the character Rider has to wear an eyepatch in most of the action scenes.
Even though she lost her eyesight, she still had to wear high heels to shoot action scenes and pose at the same time.
In this situation, unless the real Miss Medusa comes on the stage, no matter how powerful others are, they will probably fall every three or two steps.
So Nanaya just got ruthless and had the actors use wires for all the action scenes involving Rider.
"Although the character setting is interesting, I felt like a puppet while filming. I had no control over it at all." Scarlett complained to Nanaya.
"Well, there's nothing we can do about it."
Nanaya was too embarrassed to say that he got this move from Scarlett Johansson when she was filming the Black Widow action scene.
"But for this scene, Sister Scarlett, you have a chance to take off your blindfold. Finally, you don't have to film in the dark."
Lily, who was already wearing the Knight King costume, poked her little head out from behind Nanaya.
"Well, you little girl actually dares to tease your sister too!"
Scarlett pinched Lily's cheek.
"I was wrong..."
"No, let me pinch you again."
Originally, Scarlett just wanted to tease Lily, but she didn't expect that Lily's cheeks felt surprisingly good.
Scarlett actually wanted to let it go.
"Well...Sister Scarlett is going too far."
After finally escaping from the clutches of the strange sister, Lily hid behind Nanaya, fearing that Scarlett would catch her again.
"Director Nanaya, you can't let Sister Scarlett bully me again."
Lily grabbed onto Nanaya's coat and refused to let go.
"I say, Lily, you are at least a semi-celebrity, so don't always do such childish things."
Nanaya rubbed his temples with his fingers.
But when Lily heard this, she snorted angrily.
"Huh, I don't know anyway... I've been filming so much that I haven't even been out for a walk."
Seeing the little girl like this, Nanaya knew that she was in a bad mood.
Ever since the release of "Spiral", Lily, who appeared in the second easter egg of the movie, became instantly popular in Japan.
Just one shot, one appearance, and one line of dialogue.
Japanese audiences felt the charm of Knight King Artoria and were captivated by her.
Soon, the Internet began to discuss the character of Saber and the actress who played her, Miss Lily Wetting.
Especially after the secretly filmed video of this Easter egg was leaked, the discussion online became even more heated.
Although Japan is very strict about the gun version of movies, it can't stop them from having too many tricks.
With the goal of only recording the Easter eggs, he went through countless battles of wits and courage with the theater security.
Finally, someone recorded a complete Easter egg video and posted it online.
Although the video clarity is not high, at least you can see what the person looks like.
After seeing that things had developed to this point, Nanaya simply went all out and directly released the high-definition video online in the official name.
There is even a bilingual version in Japanese and English.
Now, Lily's Saber costume directly crossed the ocean and spread to Europe and the United States.
Relying on the convenience brought by the Internet, Lily suddenly became an Internet celebrity during this period.
To put it in the words of fifteen years later, Lily has become an Internet celebrity.
Although at the beginning of 2004, the Internet was not as popular as it is now when everyone is online.
But for an idol who has not yet officially debuted, this popularity is already sky-high.
You know, even at the peak of the 48 series, those idols were not so popular in Europe and the United States.
Because it was a movie clip, many people initially thought that Lily was some movie star.
So everyone started frantically looking for movies and TV series related to her.
Naturally, these people gained nothing.
This has instead sparked the interest of many netizens in Lily, and they began trying to find her.
Even the fan club has been organized spontaneously, waiting for our king to come and rule the world.
However, although Lily is very popular now, even she herself knows that she is very popular.
But no one could find Lily herself, which made many people think that the video was completely computer-generated.
After all, Artoria in the video is so perfect that she doesn't seem like a person from this world.
However, the actual reason was that Lily was being locked up in a film crew by an unscrupulous director.
