"What do you think?"
After giving everyone a general account of the FGO plan, Nanaya asked.
No one spoke in the conference room for a moment. Everyone was shocked by the plan that Nanaya described.
Everyone must have had similar fantasies when studying history.
In some major historical event, if it was not like this at the time, but another situation.
So will our history be rewritten?
In fact, in FGO, both the singularities and the lostbelts in chapter 2.0 are built on this framework.
Therefore, when Nanaya put forward this concept, everyone present was naturally shocked.
"I don't have any opinion..." Lily scratched her head, "I just didn't expect that you, brother-in-law, would be so ambitious."
"Connecting the entire history of mankind?" Kevin Feige pondered the possibility of this project. "In that case, a complete overall plan is needed."
Nanaya nodded: "Yes, that's why I asked you to come here. Kevin, you have experience in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and I need you to help me check the entire story framework to ensure the integrity of the story."
"I know." Feige nodded and said nothing more.
"I regret it." Shiki Matsuno said while lying on the table, "If I had known, I would not have done any love stories. It would have been great to follow you on this big project."
"Stop talking nonsense." Nanaya rolled his eyes at him. "Tsukihime is a test for you. If you can hand in a satisfactory answer, I will naturally let you join the FGO project."
"Real?!"
Shiki's eyes sparkled.
Ori, who was sitting opposite him, said with a gloomy face: "Golden Hair, you'd better finish the exam as soon as possible, otherwise you will be kicked out."
"Look down on me? I'll show you!"
Shiki Matsuno shoot back at Ori.
"That's enough, you two!"
Seeing that the quarrel between the two people was escalating, Nanaya quickly stopped them.
"You are both the candidate directors of this project, and you have been colleagues all along. How can you quarrel like this?"
Seeing that Nanaya was angry, Ori had no choice but to sit back awkwardly.
"Let me see..."
Peter Jackson picked up the information sent by Nanaya and started reading it.
It records Nanaya's thoughts and ideas about the singularities in the FGO story.
In addition to the 7 singularities that appeared in FGO1.0 in Nanaya's previous life, Nanaya also added the subspecies singularities of 1.5, the Lostbelts he played in 2.0, and some ideas he had thought of.
For example, the Napoleonic Wars in Europe, the Three Kingdoms in China, the Civil War in North America, and so on.
Of course, compared to the relatively complete story outline of the singularity that once appeared in FGO, the modified Lostbelt and Nanaya's own imagination are only relatively general.
Peter Jackson looked at the content and thought for a moment before saying, "Can you give me this French story?"
"The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon?"
"Yes, it's a European medieval theme, plus a magical style. I'm very interested in this theme."
"Sure."
Fatty Peter took the initiative to ask for it, so Nanaya naturally agreed.
After all, this director is probably the best director in the world at shooting magical epics.
"Senior, can I choose too?"
Ori raised his hand obediently and asked.
Nanaya nodded, and then said to the members of the behind-the-scenes team: "You can all choose the stories you like, write your own plans, and submit them to me and Feiqi."
"Director Kiryu~" Taika Waititi said with a malicious smile on his face, "Can I propose a historical event that I would like to write about?"
"...Okay, we can submit it together with everyone else when the time comes."
Nanaya originally wanted to talk about some sensitive historical events but failed.
But after thinking for a moment, he nodded.
If it really doesn't work, just veto it later. It would undermine people's self-confidence if you say it out loud now.
"Can our Lin Bao also join in?"
Irisviel pointed at the story outline of [Shimousashi Province] and asked, "This story should obviously be in the style of a Japanese swordplay film, right? This makes it most suitable for us, Lin Baolai, to produce it."
"…"
Logically speaking, Nanaya wanted to refuse.
After all, Lin Bao is used to making internal Japanese films, so his films are a bit petty.
Nanaya adopts historical events from different countries and wants to show the history and culture of different countries.
But in terms of production standards, Nanaya still hopes to remain consistent.
That is, a high-level special effects movie with huge investment.
But as Elle said, if you want to capture the authentic Japanese cultural flavor, then Lin Baolai is indeed the most suitable person.
"You Lin Bao should also submit your proposal."
Elle immediately showed a bright smile: "Thank you, Nanaya-chan."
"Let me make it clear first, if the plan is not up to standard, I will not establish the project." Nanaya reminded sternly.
However, there was no change in the expression on Irisviel's face. It was unclear whether she didn't take it seriously at all or if she had already made a plan.
"So what about us? What can we do?" Lily asked, raising her hand.
Nanaya continued, "It's the same for you actors. Find out which story you're interested in and report it."
These stories of FGO will definitely involve a large number of servant characters.
And among these servants, there are too many tool roles.
Nanaya has already planned to delete all the useless and redundant characters.
But even so, some necessary tool roles will still be retained.
Since they are just tools anyway, Nanaya thinks it is a good choice to let famous actors make a cameo appearance.
This was already done very well in the Marvel Cinematic Universe in the previous life, and Nanaya was just borrowing it.
Lily raised her hand and cheered, "Oh, then I want to play the [Holy Round Table Realm]! No, I should be the protagonist in this one!"
Letting Lily perform is indeed an option, but Nanaya does not intend to do so.
Lily played Mordred and Ryan played The Lion King.
This was something Nanaya had decided a long time ago.
The two sisters finally became mother and daughter and everything, and since she had played this game once on Rin and Sakura, Nanaya didn't mind playing it again.
It's all acting anyway, it's all fake, and it's all special effects.
Cough cough.
Nanaya put aside some of his dirty thoughts.
"Okay, you actors don't have to worry too much. Now just focus on promoting 'Purgatory'."
Nanaya set the tone for this matter: "We will discuss how to arrange the actors when the time comes, after we have a general plan."
The meeting is over.
On the way out of the meeting, Shiki found Nanaya and asked, "Nanaya, are there any restrictions on the actors?"
"There are no restrictions, just make sure it's within the budget."
"Oh~" Shiki Matsuno rolled his eyes, "Can I ask Ryan to play the princess and you to play the male lead?"
"Roll!"
————————————————
It was obviously a joke that Shiki chose Nanaya and Ryan as the male and female protagonists.
Not to mention Ryan, even if Nanaya wanted to be the leading actor, he didn't have the time.
"Tsuki-hime" is targeting the Valentine's Day release date next year.
This means that the film needs to start shooting and be completed in the first half of this year.
But Nanaya's work schedule this year is already very full.
Before May, most of Nanaya's work and energy will be focused on the promotion of "Purgatory Flame".
As for after May, the "Madoka Magica" crew is still waiting for their own director to return and take over.
A $50 million movie star, and a big-budget movie that cost him more than $200 million.
No matter from which angle you look at it, it is impossible for Nanaya to throw away the watermelon to pick up sesame seeds.
Let's not talk about Shiki Matsuno making fun of Nanaya for now.
On Monday evening, box office feedback from overseas markets came out.
As it is their first film to be released simultaneously on a large scale around the world, Washimine Entertainment is naturally extremely concerned about the film.
Inferno did not disappoint, and its performance was exceptionally outstanding in markets around the world.
Because of Lily's role as Artoria, the film received a particularly strong response in the UK.
It took in $25.52 million in three days over the weekend, which is a remarkable achievement for the British film market.
Of course, there are also many British audiences who are a little dissatisfied with the final ending of Artoria in the FZ story.
But these are harmless. Anyway, if there is a movie starring Lily next time, these people will definitely watch it.
In other parts of Europe, the response to Inferno was equally strong.
Especially the "hometowns" of the servants in the stories have exploded with amazing box office potential.
Even in the Middle East, a place that is relatively repulsive to Hollywood films, it broke the local first weekend box office record.
It was clear that their character Hassan left the stage in the first half.
The only exception is probably France, because the Marshal is a bad guy throughout the film, French audiences do not like FZ movies.
Although the Marshal himself was not well regarded in France, the French did not think that a Japanese filming in the United States had the right to criticize him.
This kind of thinking is a bit like that I can say that my alma mater is not good, but outsiders must never utter a bad word.
Except for some special regions like France, Inferno is still very popular all over the world.
After all, Nanaya is not interested in exploring particularly profound philosophical thoughts.
Anyone with even a primary school education can definitely understand the story of FZ by following Nanaya's train of thought.
As for the in-depth interpretation, just leave it to the experts on the Internet.
But compared to the easy-to-understand plot, Nanaya highlights the visual stimulation part of the movie more.
Just watching the action and explosion scenes is enough to make you excited.
After all, looking around the world, in 2008, only the Hollywood film industry can bring such an extraordinary visual experience to the audience.
