Horrible! Actually playing this kind of game!

After the release of FATE, the game sales exceeded 400,000 copies in the first month. If this momentum continues, if nothing unexpected happens, it should be a million-level galgame.

On the one hand, the game itself is well done, but more importantly, it has the big platform of pokeni.

After so many years of hard work by P Company, the market has been expanded. P Company's games are worthy of the title of the king of fine products.

But Hiroyuki Hattori doesn't think so. In his opinion, all this is the power of the Trash Can God.

FATE is not only remembered by people for its various gorgeous and famous scenes, but the game also gave birth to many interesting memes:

For example, legs play in the New Year

Also: When people are killed, they die...

Mapo's pleasure

It's all Tokiomi's fault

Since ancient times, there have been many archers.

Since ancient times, Lancer Lucky E and so on.

Coupled with the promotion of RTT, FATE has become a hot topic among young people nowadays.

…

According to Qing Zhiyuan, this is just the beginning of the world of Xingyue. After the animation of fsn is produced in the future, the popularity will increase a lot.

In addition, Qing Zhiyuan has reason to believe that future FATE-related figures are expected to become the company's next best-selling product after Pokémon.

If you think about it, FATE’s heroic figures can actually fill a wall.

You can make N number of looks just like my king, and Artoria’s popularity has always been very high.

However, without the blessing of animation now, it will definitely still be a little bit behind. For this reason, Qing Zhiyuan has arranged FSN's animation production into the production schedule of Xinghai Studio under Yuehe.

…

Regarding Moon River, the director was confirmed in September and the crew is now being prepared.

Nolan re-wrote the storyboard according to his own ideas, preparing to start filming The Matrix 1. After several script meetings, it was finally finalized.

Qing Zhiyuan still has great confidence in him. As long as the movie can be effective, it won't be a big problem.

Next is the issue of casting.

Fortunately, Keanu Reeves can be finalized. Once the male lead is confirmed, the rest will be smooth.

Nowadays, Keanu Reeves is not a big name yet. Although he has some works, they are still not at the top level, so the asking price is not high.

Considering that The Matrix will be filmed for a total of three films, the contracts signed by the actors are for three consecutive films.

If the male protagonist is changed midway, it will actually be a very embarrassing thing for the producer. After the audience gets used to the original male protagonist, they won't really buy it.

Unless it's a force majeure like the death of the male protagonist in "Spartacus".

Keanu Reeves was signed at one time for US$6 million for the first part, US$8 million for the second part, and US$10 million for the third part. These were all determined according to industry internal prices.

After getting Keanu Reeves, the movie is mostly a success.

All that's left is to decide on the heroine.

…

Qing Zhiyuan himself had no requirements, so he directly delegated power to the producers and directors.

Fumie Hitotsubashi and Nolan looked at each other, but neither of them knew what was going on.

Although the casting power is in the hands of Fumi Kazuhashi, after analyzing it with Nolan, it seems easy, but it is quite difficult to do.

The requirements for a heroine in The Matrix are actually very different from other Hollywood movies.

First of all, this character needs to be very capable.

Computer CG technology has not developed for a long time. Even if POKENI has strong 3D rendering technology, it cannot achieve a very smooth AI head change.

Therefore, actors are required to perform actual filming for basic actions.

To this end, they specially invited Yuan Heping, the number one martial arts instructor in Xiangjiang, as the general director to control the movements of the actors. At the same time, they also gave the foreigners in Hollywood a good training on how to shoot Chinese martial arts movies.

Even if you are not capable of fighting moves now, you must at least have a certain potential that can be trained.

Although there are martial arts substitutes, in some important scenes, the actresses still have to perform movements to complete the transitional part of the fight.

Then the actor's requirements have been raised.

At least there is the potential to be trained, the physical fitness must be strong, and the movements must be tense enough. Even if it is a pose, it must be recognized by the audience.

In addition, according to the characteristics of the character, she can make the male protagonist fall in love at first sight, and at the same time possess the characteristics of a strong woman. In addition to having a certain appearance, the actress must also have firm eyes and heroic spirit. In other words, it has certain edges and corners.

At least it can give people the impression that this woman is difficult to beat.

It needs to be both soft and strong, but in fact, it’s really hard to find it all in one.

…

The first person who was approached by Hitotsubashi Fumie was Gwyneth Paltrow.

That is, Pepper Potts who starred in Iron Man in his previous life.

Now Gwyneth is still very pretty, having just starred in "Seven Deadly Sins" and the movie "Emma" adapted from Jane Austen's novel

Considered a budding newcomer, Cameron even considered Gwyneth at first during Titanic.

What Nolan liked about her was that Gwyneth had both a sweet face and a tougher outline than the average girl.

It can be either salty or sweet, and he is still very young and has a good figure. With some training, he should be able to become a good seedling.

However, this is just Nolan's own idea.

The trick Hitotsubashi used to attract the director before was not very effective. Playing the action scenes drawn by Qing Zhiyuan would only make the actresses give up.

And the script is not that attractive to actors.

Gwyneth shook her head after reading the script, let alone her performance after reading the storyboard animation they gave her.

Gwyneth felt that the gap with her own image and expertise was too big. The girls in The Matrix were actually quite challenging, but she was worried that she was not qualified, so she rejected Nolan's invitation.

The second person they found was Sandra Bullock, who starred in the 1994 action film "Speed" with a global box office of US$350 million. She also had some fighting actions in the film, so she had a certain foundation. Moreover, the appearance and figure are very suitable for the girl Nolan has in mind.

Sandra Bullock still said no after reading the script.

Although the script of The Matrix is ​​indeed very attractive, and the gimmicks of science fiction blockbusters are also very loud.

However, she believes that she has played an action girl before, and if she is further impressed by The Matrix, her acting career will be narrowed. She will not be able to receive other types of movies in the future, and those who come to her specifically will be action girls. piece.

In fact, it bothered her a lot.

…

Later, Hitotsubashi and Nolan relaxed their requirements and successively found well-known female stars such as Nicole Kidman, Julia Roberts, Winona Ryder, and Demi Moore.

It is no longer that important whether you can act or not, or even whether your appearance is too sweet. For example, Nicole Kidman has a standard beauty face. Her face shape is too smooth, and there is no need to say anything about being angular or heroic.

The key is that as long as they agree to sign the contract, they can make up for it through their acting skills.

However, they still met with ruthless rejection.

Either I feel that the difficulty level is not suitable for me, or I feel that signing a long-term contract for three movies at once is a bit unacceptable.

In Hollywood, the salary is almost the same every year, or even from one movie to another. Especially for male and female stars who are on the rise in their careers, their net worth may rise all of a sudden if a movie becomes popular.

Therefore, their agents said that it is impossible to sign three film contracts at once.

At most, it can only be signed one by one.

If the film is successful and The Matrix becomes a hit, the actress's net worth will soar, and she can charge more for the next movie.

If the film fails, you can walk away.

But these are things Hitotsubashi Fumi-e can't stand. If The Matrix is ​​to be filmed, it will have to be a trilogy. There is no such thing as taking one step at a time.

So none of them were negotiated.

Some female celebrities may have made some high-sounding excuses, but in fact they are just because they are not optimistic.

First, Moon River Company is a neon company that has established a subsidiary in the United States for film production and distribution. However, this company has no reputation at all, and it is still an outsider.

Second, the producer is not very famous. Although Hitotsubashi Fumi has worked in Hollywood before, she has no successful movies. She has talents and ideals, but she has never really used them.

Third, the director is not famous. This is a very important point. Who is this guy Nolan? I have never heard of him.

For Hollywood actors, the script is important, but the director and producer are equally important, especially after signing a contract in the future, which is equivalent to putting their time in the hands of the director.

Whether a good movie can be made depends on the director.

This highlights the importance of the director.

Hitotsubashi Fumie frowned fiercely.

It's all Qing Zhiyuan's fault. Who made him not choose Cameron in the first place?

Such a great director has so much charisma.

If Cameron is here, it won't be the role that chooses the director, but the director who chooses the actors.

but--

Nolan?

It's as if this director doesn't exist at all. If this was a film and television company simulation management game, Nolan at this time would be a guy with very high attribute values, but zero fame and popularity.

Even if Yue He is willing to pay a big price, celebrities are actually not willing to ruin their acting careers for just bad money.

Unless you're like Nicolas Cage and have a lot of debt, you have no choice but to not be picky about food and just film when there's a scene, just to spend money.

But such female stars are really hard to find.

After almost a month, even the supporting roles were almost found, but the heroine has not been finalized.

Hitotsubashi Fumi-e was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

Although it is normal to prepare for half a year and a year, she especially hopes that the film can enter the shooting process earlier.

The actors' schedules are actually not easy to coordinate. It requires so many people to spare several months of their time for the director.

If the heroine is not finalized, it will be a waste of everyone's time.

…

There was no other way, so Yuehe could only recruit the actresses he wanted from all over the United States.

According to the conclusion reached by Hitotsubashi Fumi and Nolan after discussion:

Now that we have reached this point, even if she is not famous, as long as a suitable candidate can be screened out, it doesn't matter who the girl is, even if it is her first time making a movie.

Luck will befall her.

This is destined to be a hit movie, and as long as the heroine stars, even if she is unknown now, she will become famous in the future.

This is enough confidence in the script, the director and the working team.

After the announcement of the audition was released, it quickly attracted the attention of people in the industry.

"Walt, Moon River is making such a big move, investing 150 million US dollars to produce a movie, but you still haven't been able to finalize the heroine?"

"Maybe it's because the director is not famous, right? Hahaha, and he has to sign three movies at one time, which takes almost 6 or 7 years to film. It almost means that his career is involved.

Who would want to take such a risk? "

"The main reason is that Yuehe didn't choose the director well and chose Nolan. Otherwise, I remember that Cameron was willing to take over the filming of The Matrix. With Cameron's appeal and influence, you don't have to worry about your own. Career issues.”

"Yeah, isn't the boss of Yuehe Company too visionary?"

…

Yuehe is under great pressure, Hitotsubashi Fumi and Nolan are under great pressure. Both of them urgently need to prove themselves with their results.

And it's all stuck at the very first step.

The outside world is increasingly questioning Yue He, the director and producer, and even the bosses Qing Zhiyuan and Tsuda Nao.

Naturally, one can imagine the quality of the actresses who came to audition.

If this film were produced by any Hollywood company, the quality of the people participating in the audition would not be any worse. If it were Warner Bros. in the previous life, there would probably be a bunch of actors rushing to come over.

It's not that Yue He can't afford the money, it's just that Yue He has no results and the director is not famous.

After several auditions, Nolan and Hitotsubashi Fumi had a terrible headache.

Those who come to participate are basically actresses who are not famous or even have bad records, just for money.

While conducting interviews, Hitotsubashi Fumi sent the candidate's information to Neon's Qing Zhiyuan via fax.

On this day, Hitotsubashi Fumi and Nolan were interviewing new actresses, and as soon as they sent the applicant's information, they received a call from Qing Zhiyuan.

"Hello? Qingsang. This is Fumi Hitotsubashi."

"Well," Qing Zhiyuan's nice and confident voice came from the other end of the phone. "The one I just interviewed is called Angelina Jolie. Let's use her."

"Huh?!" Hitotsubashi Fumi and Nolan were both shocked.

Because just 5 minutes ago, they sent Angelina Jolie home.

It's not because of anything else. Angelina meets the standards of a heroine in terms of image, figure and performance.

The only drawback is that it's too big.

However, the reason why Hitotsubashi Fumi-e dismissed her was just because Angelina Jolie’s reputation was not very good.

The young Angelina Jolie was very dissolute, drank and committed suicide while skating. Not long ago she committed suicide once.

In her previous life, Angelina Jolie also completely woke up after committing suicide this time. She turned back and became a superstar.

However, now in the eyes of Hitotsubashi Fumi and Nolan, there is obviously something wrong with this guy.

But then again, there is a high probability that actresses with no problems will not appear here.

Now Angelina Jolie applied for the job after she seriously made up her mind to make a change. Although Yuehe was different from the film and television company she imagined, she didn't have to choose.

Angelina Jolie desperately needs a successful movie to prove herself, and she also needs money.

"President, are you sure you are talking about Angelina Jolie?" Hitotsubashi Fumie confirmed again.

"Yes, that's right. That's her." Qing Zhiyuan smiled.

…

Meanwhile, Tomb Raider series producer Toby Gad couldn't help but shudder.

"Hey...it's so strange. It's only November, why did it get cold all of a sudden?"

…
