Chapter 1667 Image (So it turns out that I am still gnawing instant noodles on a new day)
The project was approved, and then the investor. Duanmuhuai did not make exclusive investment this time, but it also accounted for the majority. The entire movie budget went from the original one billion to 1.8 billion. Judging from this, it is probably impossible to defeat the 2 billion in the later period.
But it doesn’t matter. Duanmu Huai said he was rich and willful, just wanted to make trouble!
For ordinary film companies, shooting large productions is a very risky thing. After all, once the cost cannot be recovered, it is a dead end. However, most of Duanmu Huaihua''s money comes from himself. After all, for him, the goal of this movie is not to make a profit, but to the popularity and the impression that his character leaves on the audience.
That’s right, Duanmu Huai didn’t feel sorry for spending 2 billion in for this.
Investing is determined, then casting.
Because this movie is essentially like Resident Evil, it is a science fiction action movie with horror elements, so the requirement for actors is to be able to run, jump, and fight. Actors with a fighting foundation are naturally given priority, so Himekawa Daiki, who once collaborated with Duanmu Akaya to perform in Tokyo BLADE, was selected as the leading actor, and Arima Kana and Kurokawa Akain also got two supporting roles respectively.
Even Ruby and others were arranged by Duanmu Huai to enter and had a supporting role in it - the plot of the movie is divided into pre-disaster and after-disaster. Ruby''s B-Kocho can play an idol group at the beginning of the movie, and play several scenes in the movie. In the post-disaster world, they will transform into mutated monster bosses and hinder the protagonist group.
Of course, most of this part is done with special skills.
Only Sakurajima Mai has basically no experience in fighting scenes because she is on the pure goddess route, and she has no experience in fighting scenes, and the schedule is not up to date, so she has to withdraw.
The shooting location was finally chosen, Kyoto, a metropolis with both monuments and modern buildings, because it was necessary to block the streets to shoot an empty city, and then use special effects to add the post-disaster effect. To set up such an overhead city, although it would be better to choose Tokyo, considering that Tokyo is too troublesome, and Kyoto strongly invited it after learning about this, it cooperated quite well, so everyone decided to shoot in Kyoto.
Next is the photography and lighting team.
Audio, music team.
Clothing, art, prop team.
Cast.
Shooting schedule.
The issuing company is confirmed.
The shooting has officially begun.
Read the script.
Try the clothing on.
"This is the first time I''ve participated in this big production."
Arima Gana turned around uneasyly. There were several actors sitting in the conference room alone, including some famous actors. Of course, as a movie, the number of main characters is also limited. There are no more than ten people, including the villain.
"I heard that this movie will be released simultaneously around the world, but it''s a big deal."
Even Kurokawa Akain seemed a little nervous. Although this was not the first time they made a movie, it was the first time they were shooting such a world-class movie.
"But to be honest, this is the first time I have worn this kind of costume."
Arima Gana looked at her clothes speechlessly. In the movie setting, they are people living in the future after-disaster world, so the clothes they wear are all patched and ragged clothes. Of course, this is not what they want to wear like beggars, because they also have to fight monsters in the after-disaster world, so they have to wear clothes that are convenient for activities.
It’s just that you have to be old, so for girls who love beauty, it’s naturally a bit difficult to adapt, and of course it’s just a talk.
"After that being said, where is Xiao Ai?"
Arima Kana waved his arm, confirmed that the clothes did not affect his movements, and began to look around curiously.
"I want to see what Xiao Ai''s outfit looks like. I remember she was acting as a transformer? This role is really new to Xiao Ai."
The murderous ghost played by Duanmu Huai is the sister of the male protagonist. He was arrested by the villain and transformed and turned into an immortal biochemical warrior. In the script, she has lost her thinking ability, but she instinctively cuts and kills all creatures that are blocking her. The reason why I chased the protagonist is because of my subconscious attachment to my brother.
Duanmu Huai, director Qingshui and the screenwriter have discussed the plot of this character many times, although the screenwriter felt that the plot of the younger sister regaining her rationality and recognizing her brother until the end. But directors Duanmu Huai and Shimizu think that this kind of drama is too old-fashioned, and the theme of the movie is to show a cruel doomsday world, which is boring to do it like a cartoon. So the plot was finally modified to when the protagonist was knocked down by his sister and was about to be killed, the monster boss suddenly appeared to attack the heroine, while the sister looked at the male protagonist, looked at the monster again, and then resolutely turned around and killed the monster boss.
As for whether the sister followed the program settings she was injected with, or whether the sister finally recognized her brother and decided to protect the protagonist, Director Shimizu decided to let the audience decide by themselves through the camera language.
"Actually, I''m quite curious. I don''t know what Xiao Ai would look like when dressed up as a biochemical warrior."
Speaking of this, Arima Gana was also curious and jumping and looking around. Although Kurokawa Akaini was speechless about her reaction, she had to admit that she was also quite curious.
and………
I don’t know if it was Kurokawa Akino’s illusion, but she felt that the role of this sister seemed to be tailor-made for Duanmu Huai. Duanmu Huai didn’t even have to play, he just had to show his usual self.
“Dong…Dong…!”
At this moment, suddenly, the two of them heard heavy footsteps behind them. When they turned their heads to look, they were shocked.
Behind them, a figure wearing black armor was walking towards him and others.
This figure looks about the same height as the two of them. The dark armor covers the whole body, the thick shoulder armor even covers most of the faces, and the helmet with skull patterns emits a bright red and cold light.
In the left hand of the armored warrior was carrying a tower shield that was almost as big as his height. In front of the shield was an inlaid with a pair of hands clasped together, like a prayer-like skeleton. He held a huge, heavy warhammer in his right hand. Just standing there, a cold and powerful aura came to his face.
"Wow-! Xiao, Xiao Ai?"
Hearing Arima Gana''s shout, the latter put down the warhammer and took off his helmet.
"Yes, how about it? Is this look cool?"
“It’s really cool.”
Seeing that it was Duanmu Huai, Arima Kana also breathed a sigh of relief. He walked to Duanmu Huai and curiously reached out to touch the armor on Duanmu Huai''s body.
"Wait, why are you so hard? Is this iron?"
"Of course, since you have to do it, you naturally have to do the best." Duanmu Huai nodded without hesitation. There is definitely no way to make a power armor in this era, but it is a prop after all, and there is no need for real power armor. Although generally speaking, this type of prop is made of some special materials, Duanmuhuai doesn’t think it’s so troublesome, so she just puts it in its original flavor and casts a similar set of force feedback armor shells with steel!
By the way, this set of equipment is the costume of the nun of the war, and Duanmuhuai is not bad for use.
Director Shimizu also praised this design, so he decided it.
"Don''t you think it''s heavy? Little Ai?"
At this moment, Kurokawa Akino also came over and asked, after all, Duanmu Huai was full of armor and was holding a tower shield and a sledgehammer, which looked very heavy.
"Fortunately, it must be heavy, but it''s OK for me."
Considering the texture, Duanmuhuai uses almost all real guys. Most people can''t even move when wearing this outfit, let alone walking. But for Duanmuhuai, this weight-bearing is nothing at all. Even now he can win a championship when he wears this and goes to the chrysanthemums.
Moreover, Duanmu Huai also plans to wear this to the sub-space.
"By the way, what''s going on with the skeleton on this shield?"
"Ah, that''s the protagonist''s mother."
Duanmuhuai knocked on the skeleton inlaid on the shield. At this moment, the skeleton folded his hands together and was completely confined to the shield.
"According to the setting, the protagonist and his sister''s mother were caught by the evil organization because she wanted to help her sister escape, and then tied it to this shield, so that the sister who had been transformed into a biochemical person would take her mother to hunt monsters everywhere, and then the mother kept trying to awaken her daughter. But unfortunately, she couldn''t wake her up until she died."
“Wow……”
Hearing Duanmu Huai’s explanation, Arima Gana looked frightened.
"This is too terrible, so my sister keeps fighting with her mother''s corpse? If the protagonist knows this, wouldn''t he go crazy?"
"The protagonist doesn''t need to know, the audience just needs to know."
Duanmu Huai put down his shield with a "clang" sound and shrugged his shoulders.
"By the way, what is the sticker on this armor? The scriptures??"
Kurokawa Akaini curiously approached Duanmu Huai''s armor and looked at the notes posted on it.
"Go forward bravely and purify uncleanness. Eliminate heresy and eliminate foreign enemies."
Duanmu Huai said, humming softly.
"Actually, it''s nothing. Just find a few words that look a little bit on it, just make it like this."
“…………”
Kurokawa Akain did not answer. She blinked and stared at the armor in front of her. Although the styles are different, Kurokawa Akain is very sure where he has seen a similar style - by the way, it is in a dream.
In that terrifying, terrifying nightmare.
She still remembered that the tall man was wearing such a armor. Although the size was different, they were all very similar... Thinking of this, Kurokawa Akano looked at the girl in front of him again.
However, at this moment, a flash of her eyes suddenly appeared.
The girl who was originally standing there disappeared. At this moment, the one who appeared in front of Kurokawa Akain was a tall and ferocious bald man. He was more than two meters high, and Kurokawa Akano was like a child in front of him. He was wearing heavy, pitch-black armor, where the skull and golden double-headed eagle decoration could be clearly seen. The heavy shoulder armor was bulging high, making him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
Who are you?
Kurokawa Akain stared at the man in front of him.
Who are you?
She had never seen the other person before, but she seemed to be very familiar with her instinctively, as if she had known who this man was for a long time.
But who are you?
“…………”
The man didn''t say anything, he just lowered his head and stared at Kurokawa Akain. The eyes were neither happy nor sad, without any fluctuations, calm and indifferent.
This look... looks very much like Xiao Ai.
That''s right.
Kurokawa Akain understands the source of this sense of familiarity because she has been observing Xiaoai. She knows that no matter what occasion or what kind of relationship Xiaoai is, she will always be this calm and indifferent look.
Except for fighting.
She still remembered what happened at that time. Facing those "evil ghosts", Xiao Ai''s eyes, who seemed to be indifferent to anything on weekdays, suddenly burst out with unparalleled anger and hatred like ignited gasoline. At that moment, her whole body turned into a burning flame, as if she had swallowed and burned all the people who dared to approach her...
"Chiyin?"
Arima Kana''s voice came from her ears, causing Kurokawa Akano to tremble suddenly. When she came to her senses, she found that the illusion that originally appeared in front of her had disappeared. Arima Gana stared at him curiously.
"What are you doing? The second part of the script is about to begin?"
"Ah, um...I understand."
Kurokawa Akino restrained her inner feelings and nodded. At this moment, Duanmu Huai''s figure was no longer in front of her. Maybe she had to leave because she had something to do, so she left.
What was going on just now?
At least for now, Kurokawa Akain does not think that it is just an illusion.
