Although the second Easter egg left the audience with a deep suspense, everyone was very curious about how the servants should deal with this ghost thing.
But Nanaya seemed to think that this was not enough, and he even cut a preview in the last shot.
This trailer shows almost no plot, only battle clips between servants and sea monsters, and the slogan [The war will end next year].
All the audience at the scene had the same reaction after watching it:
No one is as greedy as you.
"Please, do you want to do this?!"
"Do we have to wait another year?! How are we going to spend this year?"
"I'm dying without the second half of FZ.JPG."
…
There were all kinds of complaints in the theater, and everyone was dissatisfied with Nanaya's method of screening the film in two parts.
"It seems like they have a lot of resentment towards you." Shion turned to Nanaya and chuckled, "You think you should be careful when you go out recently."
"Who knows."
Nanaya touched his nose and whispered.
No one knows what crazy movie fans will do.
After Avengers 3 was released, many female fans even sent death threats to the Russo brothers because they were dissatisfied with Loki's death in the movie.
If someone is unhappy with Nanaya's out-of-context behavior, it is not impossible that they would send him a razor blade.
But apart from complaints about the film's episode structure, most viewers think it is a good movie.
Although Hassan left tragically, the current development of the film is still considered to be a normal popcorn movie, and everyone enjoyed watching it very much.
So after a brief complaint, the audience still applauded the film and the crew members who made it.
[I wonder what they will think when they see the ending of total annihilation next year. ]
Shiki Matsuno looked at the excited fans and felt full of evil amusement.
The tragedy of the first half of FZ is not strong, although anyone with a discerning eye can see that FZ is indeed not as relaxing as the previous FSN and is a little less entertaining.
But the flaws outweigh the merits, and this is still a wonderful popcorn movie.
Moreover, the depth of the plot will arouse the interest of some audiences who like dark movies and will open their wallets for it.
This can be felt from the applause at the premiere. Everyone likes this movie very much.
Ori said to Nanaya with a little excitement: "We succeeded!"
He was probably the most excited one among the old guys in the crew.
Nanaya also smiled and nodded. He slowly exhaled and his body relaxed.
Although he appeared calm on the surface, he was still very nervous inside.
The same was true for Shion, who was very happy with the audience's reaction and even secretly made a V sign.
For Washimine Entertainment, audience satisfaction is the most important thing.
Only when the audience is satisfied will they become further consumers of the film.
After all, as a large-scale commercial project, the Fate series sells more than just movies, but also launches a variety of peripheral products.
From comics and novel derivatives to games, toy peripherals, and even daily necessities such as cups and clothes, there are hundreds of types of movie-related products launched simultaneously with FZ films.
Even in the food sector, Washimine has reached a cooperation agreement with McDonald's and launched 7 similar FZ special meal packages.
It can be said that FZ's peripheral products include all kinds of necessities including food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Even if a crazy die-hard fan wants to buy a 1:1 scale Saber statue, that's not a problem.
And Nanaya believes that there must be such people.
You should know that after the release of "Iron Man" last year, hundreds of proportional Iron Man armor models have been sold around the world.
As an equally popular character, Lily's role as Artoria is certainly no less popular.
"Let's go." Nanaya said to Shiki and Ori, "Let's take everyone to the curtain call."
Shiki Matsuno and Ori nodded immediately, and they called the main creative staff sitting in the front row to walk towards the small stage together.
Because the curtain call was the crew's responsibility, Shion did not go on stage. She just sat in her seat and watched Nanaya lead the crew in the curtain call again and again.
At this time, the audience's applause continued, and everyone was excited about the outstanding work contributed by Erque Studio.
But Shion is also very clear that with the success of FZ, both [Erque Studio] and Washimine Entertainment will undergo very big changes in the future.
The resource integration of Washimine Entertainment has become imperative, which is a win-win choice for Nanaya and Shion.
Even though the premiere screenings were over, the premiere was not over.
As usual, Washimine held a small press conference after the movie.
Although it is a small one, Washimine still attaches great importance to the press conference.
After all, the Fate series is the most important profit point for Washimine Entertainment.
In AMC's press room, hundreds of entertainment reporters filled every inch of space below the stage.
All of them focused their attention on Nanaya and Lily.
After all, Artoria is so eye-catching. In this war that took place in Fuyuki City at night, Artoria is the most dazzling full moon in the night sky.
Coupled with Lily's aristocratic status, she became an immediate darling of the media.
As for Nanaya, the person who created Fate, he is also the focus of reporters.
Especially this time he changed his usual low-key style and joined the movie as the leading actor, which itself is quite a topic.
Although Nanaya's acting skills are not outstanding, the character Kiritsugu Emiya he plays has always captured the audience's attention.
Although he is a killing machine with blood on his hands, he has an ideal of becoming a hero and bringing world peace.
It can be said that this huge contrast between the inside and the outside makes the character of Emiya Kiritsugu present a peculiar sense of contradiction.
People who like it will like it very much, and people who don't like it will sneer at this character.
But no one can deny that the image of this cold-blooded magician killer left a deep impression on people.
At the end of the press conference, Nanaya, as the producer of the Fate series, directly announced the next plan.
First of all, it was confirmed that the "Kara no Kyoukai" series and the Fate series share the same world view, and it is called the "TYPE-MOON world".
This news was nothing special. Except for a few Japanese reporters, European and American reporters were not surprised at all.
Even the Japanese reporters were only slightly excited. After all, Nanaya had mentioned this matter a long time ago, and this time it was just officially confirmed.
However, everyone was very interested in the follow-up plans for [TYPE-MOON] announced by Nanaya.
Nanaya announced various related projects except for the confirmed lower part of FZ.
There are comic and novel versions of FZ, and the "Mahoutsukai no Yoru" novel is expected to be released this year.
At the same time, he also said that the Type-Moon world will become more diversified and will have more active cooperation with the gaming industry.
These are all small things. The key is the most important film and television part. Nanaya announced the existence of the TV series HF and stated that this series will be launched after the second half of FZ ends next year [See Moon].
Currently, HF's shooting progress has been completed by 60%, and we will definitely meet you on time.
There is also another TV series with an undetermined name that has been put on the agenda. It will expand the worldview and setting of the Type-Moon world and is a drama about a magician solving a case.
In fact, this is "The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II", but the spoilers of the show are too strong from the title to the leading actors, so Nanaya can only make a rough outline for now.
As for the movies, there is not much new, except for the second part of FZ and the new chapter of "Kara no Kyoukai" which will be released in Japan this year. Nanaya just said that the Fate series will not end here, and there will be other movies.
However, the specific information will be announced after the release of the next part of FZ.
Although the information provided at the press conference was not particularly sufficient, the ambitions of Nanaya and Washimine were undoubtedly revealed.
Even the box office success "Pirates of the Caribbean" did not have plans to expand into so many areas. This kind of multi-platform linkage plan is not common even in Hollywood.
"I was wrong, George."
Watching Nanaya speaking on the stage, James Cameron said: "This guy is really trying to create a new era of Star Wars."
"Then let's see how far he can go."
George Lucas said confidently that the success of "Star Wars" cannot be imitated casually.
After the press conference, Nanaya left the theater alone and got into a black business car parked on the side of the road.
In the back seat of the car, Shion, who had left early, was already waiting for him.
"Where are we going today?" Nanaya asked.
Shion first knocked on the car window to signal Iioka that he could drive, and then said directly: "Of course, I'm going to your house."
Nanaya knew that the home that Shion was talking about was his villa in New York, North America.
"What do you mean my house? Isn't that the house you lent me?"
Shion hugged Nanaya's arm and said, "Look at what you said. Isn't what I gave you yours?"
"Why do you make me sound like a gigolo that you keep?"
Shion raised her eyebrows and said, "I think you think the house is too small and you don't have enough fun playing there, right?"
Nanaya deliberately said, "Who said that? That space must be enough to play Wii Sports, right?"
"You said it." Shion lay on top of him, "I can't wait to practice."
Nanaya touched Shion's jade hand and asked softly, "How long do you plan to stay in New York this time?"
"A long time, you'll be here until July." Shion playfully tickled Nanaya's nose with her green hair, "You should be going to Los Angeles after the promotion period, right?"
"Yeah." The ticklish Nanaya quickly stopped Shion's movements, "The lower part of FZ still needs to be filmed, plus post-production. I can probably only stay in New York until May."
"Oh, it seems that I need to take good care of you during this period of time, otherwise you will forget about me after such a long time."
"How could that be?"
"That's good. To reward you for your busy schedule, I have prepared a great gift for you~"
It was not until they arrived at the villa that Nanaya found out what the gift Shion was talking about was.
It was a special set of Artoria's battle robes.
"Come on, thank you for your help~"
As she said that, Shion smiled and threw the clothes to Nanaya, asking him to help her put them on.
This set of clothes was custom-made for herself by Shion. In order to emphasize its functionality, Shion also made some changes to certain parts.
For example, in order to make the Knight King Artoria more flexible in battle, Shion deliberately cut off certain parts of the clothes.
After all, everyone knows that when playing Wii Sports, you need to ensure the flexibility of your clothes. After all, it involves a lot of yoga movements. If you don't have a certain level of flexibility, you will get injured.
In particular, the original Artoria battle robe is not suitable for posing large movements, such as supporting the table with one hand and standing on one leg.
If you are not careful, your clothes may be torn or your back may be twisted.
However, afterwards, according to the combat experience of Shion and Nanaya, removing this part of the clothes did make the combat process easier, more pleasant and comfortable.
"Hey, Shion."
"Um?"
"Next time, try Jeanne's clothes... Ouch!! My waist————!"
"Don't push me any further!"
