Because this scene was recorded live, although everyone wanted to laugh, no one dared to make a sound.
If someone really dared to disturb the recording at this time, Nanaya would definitely nail that person to the wall.
Although it is normal for actors to make NGs, Nanaya will definitely have zero tolerance if there are any problems with the actors.
In front of the camera, after silencing his favorite concubine, Iskandar continued to fool the two servants in front of him.
"You fight each other to get the Holy Grail. Before you fight, I have something to ask you."
He smiled widely as he spoke. "I don't know what you all expect from the Holy Grail. But think about it now. Are your wishes more important than the aspirations that encompass heaven and earth?"
[This guy is probably a fool. ]
Except for Waver who was already frightened, everyone present had the same idea.
Of course, just thinking about it is useless, everyone needs to show it on their face.
However, this little trick is not a big problem for Lily and others.
After confirming that there was nothing wrong with the expressions of the people, Nanaya did not stop the shooting. Instead, he instructed the camera crew, "Move camera No. 3 a little to the right to include Lancer. Don't move the lens too fast. Give people a feeling of a slow sweep."
Actually, according to the script, it should have been cut at this time, but Nanaya didn't stop it because everyone was in such good condition.
At this time, relying on a lot of deception, Lancer and Saber together cast hostile eyes towards the intrusive Rider.
This is probably his personal charm. As long as he appears on the scene, he will actively attract everyone's attention. The character of Iskandar has such charm.
Johnson's acting skills are definitely not great, but the friendliness he displays when he's laughing is indeed very endearing.
I saw him muttering with difficulty on his face while unconsciously pressing his temples with his fists.
The action is comical, but it does not damage the character's dignity.
"You...are you going to negotiate terms with me?"
I have to admit that Iskandar's burly appearance is indeed very deceptive.
Based on his current performance, no one would object to calling him a fool.
He always has the ability to make everything confusing. In other words, this character is positioned as a comedian in the movie.
These people usually play the role of unreliable and funny people, but when they are really needed, they will show their serious side and give people a very reliable feeling.
"Cut!"
This time Nanaya called for a stop because he saw that Lily was about to burst out laughing.
"That's a good shot. Let's do it again. Camera crew, change the camera angle."
Nanaya motioned for Shonan and Ori to come over, and he told them the new camera angle arrangement.
This is not only to leave more materials for post-editing, but also to see if the actors can be in better condition, so Nanaya will shoot more as long as conditions permit.
After shooting this scene four more times (one time it was NG because Illya laughed), Nanaya moved on to the next scene.
Because the battle at the dock involved the open and covert struggles of multiple forces, many shots were a bit fragmented.
According to Nanaya's idea, this battle in which the Servant will appear will appear in the early to middle part of the movie.
After the characters appear one after another in the early part of the movie, the audience needs a scene to focus on understanding the characters' personalities and understand the conflicts between them.
From the perspective of script structure, this battle serves as a link between the preceding and the following.
"What kind of idiot would think it would be a good idea to appear on stage standing on a street lamp?"
When being lowered by Wire, Gawain kept complaining.
"After all, chuunibyou are a lot of fun. Maybe standing on a high place is a cool way for Gilgamesh to make an appearance?"
Nanaya answered uncertainly, "You see in martial arts movies, don't masters always like to fight in high places? Like the top of Huashan Mountain, the top of the Forbidden City, etc."
"They are not afraid of falling and dying."
After his feet were firmly planted on the ground, Gawain sat down on the ground.
Although he was protected by a wire, and although he was standing on a platform made of green screen instead of a lamppost where he couldn't even find a place to step.
But putting a person several meters above the ground for nearly half an hour made Wayne feel very uncomfortable both physically and mentally.
After all, your mother gave you two legs when she gave birth to you so that you could stand firmly on the ground.
Lily complained: "It's not that there's nothing wrong with it. You see, people always like to watch people perform at heights, like monkeys climbing ladders, flying monkeys, and so on."
Gawain was speechless: "You are treating me like a monkey!"
Without the help of special effects and background sound, just looking at a giant *** in the high place would be really funny.
Fortunately, the quality of the actors on Nanaya's side is very good, but even so, they still laughed frequently.
A big part of the reason was that they couldn't always hear clearly what Gawain was saying.
This isn't funny in itself, but once you think about the scene they're acting out having a normal conversation with the guy above, it immediately becomes very funny.
The King of Heroes stood on the lamppost and said a lot of things, and Saber below replied with "Pardon", which was really funny.
To be honest, the wind at the seaside pier on winter nights is basically above level 7 or 8.
The only result for an average person standing on a lamppost is that they will be blown to the ground within a second.
You can try going to the riverside or the seaside on a winter night. The sound of the wind will make you unable to hear anything except the wind if you are more than 2 meters away.
No wonder Gilgamesh acted like a stagehand in that scene at the dock, because this guy never listened to anyone from beginning to end and was just performing a one-man show.
So what was Urobuchi's mindset when he placed the battlefield here? Was he mad at people so he let the characters come here to blow in the cold wind in the middle of the night?
Fortunately, this scene that made Gawain very embarrassed has ended, and he doesn't have to continue hanging on the platform and suffering.
Another day of filming ended, but Nanaya was not in a hurry to leave work.
Instead, he asked Ryougi Ori to call together the heads of various departments for a brief meeting.
All those who attended the meeting were the main creative figures behind the crew. In addition to the two main directors Nanaya, Shiki Matsuno and Ori and an assistant director, there were also Li Tongchen, Katsura Mamako, Shonan and other team leaders of the crew, as well as representatives of the insurance company.
Don't be surprised why there are people from insurance companies. For projects like movies that cost tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, the crew will apply for guarantees from third-party insurance companies in order to reassure investors.
The purpose of these insurance companies is to confirm the crew's funding process and ensure that the crew spends the money on the film.
You should know that there are more than one or two directors who have dug public land in history. For example, the 1980 movie "Heaven's Gate" caused United Artists to go bankrupt and be acquired.
United Artists once accused director Michael Cimino of using the film's budget to buy land for himself, causing the film's cost to exceed the original budget by more than twice.
Since then, all film companies have learned their lesson, and third-party guarantees have become a necessary process for every major project.
Of course, for the crew, these laymen from the insurance company who know nothing are very annoying.
Because they would ask questions about even a dollar of misappropriation by the crew, making it impossible for everyone to make the movie properly.
However, this guy from the Fate crew doesn't have the habit of being talkative. As long as the crew uses the funds according to the procedures, he will be as obedient as a wooden man and won't say a word.
However, Nanaya believed that if the crew did not follow the rules, this serious-looking middle-aged man would definitely not be a pushover.
"Let's plan the next shooting schedule."
Nanaya was not in the habit of giving long speeches, so once everyone was present he went straight to the point.
"According to the current shooting schedule, if nothing unexpected happens, we should be able to finish the dock scenes in 3 days. So I will arrange the next shooting schedule."
Nanaya distributed two lists of personnel to everyone present: "Next, we have to split the crew into two. One group will follow me to the White Sands Missile Test Site to film. Shiki Matsuno, you will lead the other group to start filming HF. Is that okay?"
Because UBW is still in the promotion period, most of the HF actors are still promoting it around the world.
In fact, Lily is also in the promotion stage, but the operation has concentrated her work location in Los Angeles.
Now after finishing filming every day, Lily has to rush to participate in interviews from various media, or cooperate with the crew to record promotional videos.
Fortunately, Lily is now the most popular star in the United States, and the media are happy to make a special trip to interview her, otherwise it would be difficult to arrange the operations.
"But weren't Saber and Gilgamesh there when the King's Army first appeared? Is it okay for Lily not to come?"
Ori asked immediately after seeing Lily and Gawain being assigned to the HF crew.
"I'll arrange that shot until the end. Just wait until you finish here and they can deliver it over."
Nanaya didn't care about such trivial matters at all. He only cared about one other thing.
Nanaya turned his gaze to Shiki: "You have a heavier load here, is that okay?"
Although he is the second in command of the crew, Shiki Matsuno has been a nobody these days.
But Shiki is not slacking off. He is learning how big Hollywood crews operate.
Shiki Matsuno nodded confidently, "It's no problem. I already know what to do."
"I will leave Ori to you. If there are any problems, he will help you solve them." Perhaps because he was afraid that Shiki could not handle the situation alone, Nanaya left Ori, the second most prestigious position in the crew, to him.
Finally, Nanaya emphasized to Shiki Matsuno: "Remember, although HF is a drama with a distinct black style, it is also a commercial work. It must not be completely black!"
