Although the crew was temporarily ordered to stop filming, it does not mean that Nanaya can comfortably spend time with Shion in the villa.
Even if Nanaya himself had the spare time, it would be impossible for Shion, who is a busy person, to accompany him all day.
Not to mention that Nanaya himself also has a lot of things to deal with.
Although the production crew was shut down, Nanaya still had a lot of things to do, and he did not get to experience the happy life of lying in bed, eating and drinking like a decadent person.
Nanaya now spends his working time every day in the post-production special effects room, supervising the post-production of the materials that have already been shot.
In fact, this part of the content should be produced uniformly after all the materials are shot.
It's a pity that Nanaya now has to deal with some things in advance.
This is also why this guy, after discovering that there was nothing in the refrigerator, went to borrow curry from his neighbor instead of going out to buy groceries and cooking.
Because Nanaya doesn't have the time.
Of course, apart from work, Nanaya still has his own private life, for example, accepting Shion's frequent invitations to spend the night in her villa.
Otherwise, why would Nanaya get tired of salads and sandwiches? It's because he ate too much.
Although Nanaya had anticipated that Shion would take the initiative, what he didn't expect was that Shion was not only proactive, but also really dared to play.
As the communication deepened, Nanaya continued to unlock new elements in Shion, which made him feel like he was enjoying it so much.
Unfortunately, Shion's gentleness could not calm the rage of the evil dragon Nanaya. The union's investigation was still going through the process, and the crew still could not continue working, which made him extremely irritated.
Until now, except for Ori and Shion, everyone else has been very cautious when facing Nanaya, so as not to be burned by Nanaya's anger.
If there is anyone in Hollywood who can best understand Nanaya's feelings right now, that person must be Jim Gianopulos, the current president of Fox.
Because the highly anticipated "Night at the Museum" was also on hold, he was as angry as Nanaya.
According to rumors, Jim Ganopoulos now uses an average of four to six new cups a day, all of which are broken by his temper.
Things have come to this point, and both Fox and Washimine feel like they are in a difficult situation.
However, when both sides were getting too excited, it was impossible for either of them to take a step back.
Fox couldn't bring itself to do this. After all, they were one of the Big Six in Hollywood and it was they who started bullying Washimine first, but now they have to stop on their own initiative.
This was really hard for Jim Gianopulos to swallow. He could not accept the result that Fox would surrender to a non-Big Six film company.
It is even more impossible for Washimine to retreat first. It was not him who started the incident. If the other party does not retreat and he takes the initiative to retreat, doesn't that prove that he is very easy to bully?
Nanaya and Shion both believed that if Washimine retreated this time, they would immediately be attacked by various means from other companies.
The only way is to chop off the hand that Fox is extending this time - at least maintain the current draw, so as to tell other companies that have ideas about Washimine that they are not easy to mess with.
If you want to eat the meat of Washimine, you must first consider the strength of your teeth.
The weak cannot survive in Hollywood, a place where the strong prey on the weak.
Judging from the current situation, both the Fox and Washimine crews plan to wait until the investigation feedback is completed before resuming filming.
This result is equivalent to a draw between the two parties, but such a result will definitely not satisfy both parties, especially Nanaya.
From the first day he became a director, Kiryu Nanaya has never been a person who is willing to suffer a loss. Even if he suffers a loss now, he will take revenge when he has the chance in the future.
Since Fox took the initiative this time, Nanaya had no intention of letting it go.
Nanaya thought about it for a long time.
The simplest and most direct way to attack Fox is to release your own movies to attack the opponent's box office, causing the opponent to waste hundreds of millions of dollars.
But the FZ he has now certainly doesn't have the strength to do so. After all, no matter how hard he tries, there is no way this movie can be released this year.
But it doesn't matter. Nanaya doesn't have any movies, but Washimine still has movies.
That is the movie that has been in preparation since last year - Marvel's "Iron Man".
In order to give the MCU a good start, Seven Nights originally planned to release "Iron Man" during the summer vacation next year.
The lighthearted tone of "Iron Man" is very suitable for audiences who are depressed after watching "The Dark Knight". In addition, the love-hate relationship between Marvel and DC is also quite interesting and worth watching.
But now, Seven Nights plans to advance the release date of "Iron Man" to the Christmas season in December 2006.
According to the information Washimine has collected so far, Fox has not changed the release date of "Night at the Museum". In other words, the film will still be released during this year's Christmas season.
In fact, the filming of "Iron Man" has been completed and post-production is underway. If it is accelerated, it will definitely be completed by the end of this year.
So Nanaya went to Marvel and explained the situation.
Nanaya originally thought that these people would be rather stubborn, but he did not expect that neither Kevin Feige nor Avi Arad had much objection to this matter, and some even agreed with it wholeheartedly.
"As long as the film can be completed with guaranteed quality and quantity, there is absolutely no problem in putting it in the Christmas season. We at Marvel will fully cooperate with Washimine's promotional plan."
Avi Arad kept nodding his head, as if he couldn't wait for the movie to be released tomorrow.
Nanaya was somewhat confused by Marvel's reaction, and only understood the reason after hearing Kevin Feige's explanation.
In fact, Marvel is not very confident about "Iron Man". This lack of confidence does not mean that they do not believe that their movie is exciting, but that they do not have the confidence to be better than Batman.
In particular, Marvel conservatives led by Avi Arad believed that it was too risky to challenge the DC giant in the first movie.
Although Nanaya had explained what the complementary effect was, Avi Arad, whose brain had been petrified, obviously still couldn't accept this situation.
Simply moving the release date of Iron Man to the Christmas season is not enough.
You have to know that "Night at the Museum" is a movie specially designed for the Christmas season, and simply moving the release date will definitely cause problems.
So Nanaya specifically found Jon Favreau, the director of Iron Man, and proposed some revisions to the film, and reshot some scenes.
Among them, if we only look at the theme, "Iron Man" is also a very suitable movie for Christmas.
This may sound strange, but it is true.
In European and American culture, Christmas is a day of redemption.
Many traditional stories related to Christmas contain themes of change and salvation, such as "A Christmas Carol" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".
This coincides with the theme of Tony Stark's self-redemption in "Iron Man".
Just add some Christmas-related elements and adjust the time of the final battle of the movie to Christmas, and it will be a perfect Christmas movie.
Because the scope of the changes was not large, Jon Favreau immediately agreed to the seven-night proposal and quickly submitted a reshoot plan.
After repeatedly discussing and revising the plan with the "Iron Man" crew, Nanaya asked Jon Favreau to start gathering the crew for reshoots.
Revenge on Fox is just the seasoning of the wine of victory. Nanaya certainly cannot joke about the investment of hundreds of millions of dollars and his future happy life.
Therefore, he planned very carefully the script modification of "Iron Man", ensuring that the theme of the film would not be affected while moving the story to Christmas, and that the logic was self-consistent.
After all, "Iron Man" is not a money-making scam like the all-ages version of "Deadpool 2", and the modifications involved are not just a matter of adding one day of shooting.
If Jon Favreau hadn't had experience making the Christmas movie "Elf", Nanaya might not have made such a modification plan.
In short, no matter what the outcome of the war between "Iron Man" and "Night at the Museum" is, it will have to wait until December to be revealed. For now, the love-hate relationship between Seven Nights and Fox has come to a temporary end.
After arranging the reshoots and modification plans for "Iron Man", Nanaya turned his attention back to the filming of his own movie.
After six days of investigation and evidence collection, the Actors Guild finally concluded its investigation into the FZ and HF crews' actor safety protection measures.
According to the investigation results, the Fate crew has taken sufficient safety measures for the actors, and Benedict Cumberbatch's injury was a pure accident. The Fate crew can continue filming the movie.
After waiting for a week (including the day Benedict Cumberbatch was injured), in the end, nothing came of it, but this was already the best outcome for Nanaya.
After all, you can't expect the Screen Actors Guild to reward the crew, right?
Moreover, the crew of Fate can already resume filming, while the crew of Night at the Museum is still wrangling. After all, the Child Protection Association is more troublesome than the Screen Actors Guild.
Based on the universal value that what is worrying is not the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth, Nanaya believes that Fox must be even angrier than himself.
The wrath of my enemies is my joy.
From this point of view, Nanaya can still be happy for a while.
Just a little bit of happiness cannot completely calm Nanaya's anxiety. It is better to say that the one-week suspension period has put Nanaya in a state where he may explode at any time.
Although during this week, Nanaya took time out to adjust the shooting schedule with Ori and Shiki, hoping to make up for the lost week.
But everyone knows that the hope of this happening is very slim.
FZ's original plan was very tight, and now with something like this happening, postponement is inevitable.
However, Nanaya hopes that the extension will not exceed half a month.
"Otherwise I'll kill all those people in Fox."
Nanaya said this to Ori and Shiki Matsuno before resuming filming.
