"Currently, the Type-Moon film series that have been officially released include two film series, "Kara no Kyoukai" and "Fate", and a special drama "Magical Girl Illya."
"As for the two web series HF and Incident Book, they will also be launched this year."
After summarizing the current members of the Type-Moon Universe family, Nanaya, the host of the meeting, smiled and said, "Then what we will discuss next is the planning of this film and television series for next year and even in the next few years."
Having said that, Nanaya paused.
"So does anyone have any good suggestions?"
"I think it's best not to continue releasing Fate series for the time being."
Kevin Feige spoke first, saying: "If it is still Fate, then it will give people the illusion that the entire film and television project is all Fate."
Although there is "Kara no Kyoukai" in the Type-Moon world, compared with the global popularity of Fate, "Kara no Kyoukai", which is only famous in Japan, is still a little too transparent.
Ryougi Ori frowned and retorted: "But if we don't use the Fate series, can other series achieve the same results? Fate's position is not so easy to replace."
Ori's speech made Nanaya nod repeatedly. Among all the projects of Type-Moon, Fate is undoubtedly the most eye-catching sign.
Otherwise, Type-Moon wouldn't have been involved in so many Fate projects in her previous life, including comics, new series, and theatrical versions.
And the poor remake of Tsuki-hime, apart from saying "I'm working on it, I'm working on it", can't say much.
In fact, in Nanaya's mind, Fate is the main force of the entire Type-Moon film and television universe project.
Of course, focusing on Fate does not mean that all of it is Fate.
Although the success of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is inseparable from the superstar Iron Man, characters such as Captain America, Thor, and Black Widow are equally outstanding.
Therefore, Kevin Feige's proposal is still very valuable.
The only issue at this moment is which project to use to take over FZ.
Peter Jackson cleared his throat and said, "If you want the entire project to develop healthily, I suggest that you, Nanaya, should not become the director of the first project of the second phase."
"Like Feige said just now, a colorful series needs multiple voices. If you, Nanaya, are too strong, it will be detrimental to the series."
"I know. So, Peter, what kind of story do you think would be a good follow-up to FZ?"
Nanaya quite agrees with Fatty Peter's point of view.
Peter scratched his head and said, "You know I'm more suitable for fantasy movies. Do you have any good suggestions?"
"The style of movies that Director Jackson is good at takes a lot of time, right?" Ori said with some concern, "Will it be released in time for next year?"
Ryan reminded quietly: "If we want to release it in the first half of next year and produce it in the Hollywood style, we must start shooting in July at the latest."
Judging from the Hollywood production cycle, if you want to ensure the quality of the film, a construction period of more than half a year is definitely required.
If it is a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars, it is not impossible that it will take several years to produce.
Irisviel, the representative of Lin Bao, said nothing.
In terms of influence in the world entertainment industry, there is a huge difference between Lin Bao and Washimine.
So this time, Elle planned to let Lin Baolai share the benefits instead of competing with Washimine for the dominance of the project.
This was also why she was the one who came to the meeting instead of Kiritsugu.
After all, if something like beating the conference host into the hospital before the meeting started happened, Lin Bao would definitely part ways with Washimine.
"Brother-in-law~" Lily asked curiously, "What's the story behind the last Easter egg in your book "Purgatory Flame"? Is it some kind of world-class crisis?"
"We'll talk about this at the end. Let's talk about what projects we can take on next year."
Nanaya did not answer the question directly. He looked at the other people present.
"Um...Mahou Tsukai no Yoru?"
Ellie asked tentatively.
It has always been her dream to be able to make her work into a movie.
It's a pity that she is the most transparent one among the transparent ones in [Erque Studio].
So she herself didn't think her proposal was feasible.
Sure enough, Elle's proposal was rejected by Nanaya.
"No, the story of "Mahou Tsukai no Yoru" is too Japanese, and now is not the right time to adapt it." Nanaya shook his head and said, "At least we have to wait until it can be on the bestseller list."
"Speaking of bestseller lists..."
Shiki Matsuno's expression seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Ori raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you want to say? Why are you being so nagging?"
Shiki also knew that the other party was unhappy with him recently, so he didn't bother with this guy.
"I recently found a book on the North American bestseller list."
Shiki Matsuno said as he took out a book from his pocket.
"The book is very popular among teenagers and has been made into a movie, which will be released during the Halloween season this year."
Nanaya felt that Shiki's introduction sounded familiar to him. He picked up the book and saw that it was indeed a name he was familiar with.
"Twilight..."
Nanaya was impressed by this series.
Although he has not read the original novel, he has watched several of the film series because they are so famous.
But I definitely didn't finish it.
Super bad movie.
If Nanaya were to stand in the audience's shoes, he would definitely give this series such an evaluation.
But now Nanaya is already a film worker. To him, there is no such thing as a bad movie, only a successful one.
As for the criterion of success, it is naturally whether the project can make a profit in the end.
From this perspective, "Twilight" is undoubtedly very successful, and can even be included in textbooks as a model of commercial film series planning.
Because this movie accurately targets its own audience group and arouses their enthusiasm for watching movies.
Yes, after working in the film industry for so many years, Nanaya finally understood why this movie, which he thought was a bad movie, was so popular.
The reason is simple: this movie was not made for him.
It's as if the movie "Black Panther" was not made for Asians from the beginning.
This love movie disguised as a vampire movie was aimed at European and American youth groups from the very beginning.
Or to be more precise, it is a group of young women.
Boys will watch this movie either because they are misled like Nanaya, or because their girlfriends or wives are implicated.
But does this European and American Mary Sue story have anything to do with Type-Moon?
You have to know that this year, neither Washimine Entertainment nor Marvel has chosen to release any movies during the Halloween period?
Shiki Matsuno scratched his hair and said shyly, "Look, the fact that this story can be approved shows that there is enough market for romantic movies in Europe and America."
"so?"
"I wonder if we can make a love movie that takes place in the Type-Moon world?" Shiki asked, "with a magician as the protagonist of the story, just like in the Case Files."
Nanaya tapped the table. After Shiki Matsuno's reminder, he actually thought of a similar project.
"If love is the main plot of the story, it doesn't require too much production cost..."
Shiki wanted to say something else but was interrupted by Nanaya.
"Shiki, you want to direct this project yourself?"
Nanaya asked, looking at his friend.
Shiki Matsuno hesitated for a moment, then nodded vigorously.
"Yes, I want to try."
Shiki are serious.
Nanaya didn't ask any more questions: "Okay, I just happen to have an abandoned case that happened in the Type-Moon world view."
"But the budget for this movie won't be too high. It's estimated to be around $50 million. You'd better be prepared."
The story that Nanaya was going to tell was naturally "Tsukihime".
If you abandon other branch lines and focus on the princess line.
Then it's not a bad idea to think of it as a story about a human (male) falling in love with a vampire (female).
Moreover, it is exactly the opposite of the story in "Twilight" where a human (female) falls in love with a vampire (male).
This can also be considered a disguised form of riding on the popularity.
And if "Twilight" is a young woman's Mary Sue fantasy about love.
Then "Tsukihime", which was derived from Galgame, can also be regarded as men's fantasy about love.
After all, the male protagonist has special skills, and a beautiful vampire princess suddenly appears in front of him.
These contents are also very attractive to teenagers.
The most important thing is that the special effects of "Tsuki-hime" are not difficult to make, and the cost is also very easy to control.
Nanaya himself has produced three "Kara no Kyoukai" series.
Therefore, he knew very well that the special effects of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception were not difficult to achieve.
The only thing that costs a lot of money is the special effects of Professor Nero's beast.
However, as a mid-term boss, the professor does not appear many times, so the overall production cost can still be controlled.
"Interesting." After listening to Nanaya's introduction to the story, Shiki Matsuno rubbed his chin, "Is it also a love story between humans and vampires? But are you sure that the male protagonist is not you? Why do I feel that the only difference between you and him is a pair of black-framed glasses?"
"I don't wear glasses because I don't want to be shot."
Nanaya snorted coldly.
Shiki, who was asking for trouble, touched the collar of his shirt and asked, "What are you going to do about the actors?"
"The heroine must be beautiful, as for the hero..."
Nanaya noticed that everyone's eyes were on him and he couldn't help but pause.
[This talkative guy. ]
Resisting the urge to beat up Shiki Matsuno, Nanaya said, "Let's choose a male actor who is more attractive. Race doesn't matter, just don't be black."
Although this statement was a bit racist, everyone present pretended not to hear it.
"The movie needs to be released during the Valentine's Day period next year. Is that ok?" Nanaya confirmed with his friend.
"Don't worry, I can handle it."
Shiki answered confidently.
[This time, I must shoot with my own characteristics. ]
Although the budget of "Tsuki-hime" is still not too high, it is also the most expensive personal movie in Shiki's life.
However, as the love movie genre is what he is best at, Shiki Matsuno is still very confident.
"Then let's talk about the future development plans for the Fate series."
Nanaya said as he took out a plan with the name "Fate/Grand Order" written on it.
