Chapter 270
After all, nothing can repay Jolyne Kujo's kindness to them better than this!
"After listening to what you said, I seem to understand why President Kujo allocated another sum of money to us before!"
Excited?
... No, excitement is not enough to describe Araki Tetsuro's current mood!
After thinking through this point and sorting out the doubts he had felt before, Araki Tetsuro said excitedly: "We all know that President Kujo allocated funds to us for the first time to let us take advantage of this opportunity."
"After hearing your explanation, I am more convinced of this now."
"In this case, if Jolyne Kujo can give us a hint in this first time, then will the second allocation of funds to us also be a hint?"
Just like when Jolyne Kujo allocated funds to them for the first time.
If there is no financial support from Jolyne Kujo.
Even if they can think of the importance of "Fate/Zero" to Green Dolphin Studio, it is impossible to complete the filming of "Fate/Zero" in a short time.
And they have no chance to catch this spring breeze.
Because even if it is a friendship price.
According to the cooperation price of those industry insiders introduced by Weber, it is not a small amount.
As for free help...
Let's not talk about the friendship between them and Weber, whether Weber can use his relationship to help them for free.
Maybe Weber really does this.
In the eyes of those who were asked by Weber to help, their crew immediately became the kind of ruthless profiteers who could cheat and deceive the elderly living alone, and their reputation in the industry plummeted!
And even if there is no such thing.
In the industry, the debt of favor is the most difficult to repay.
Just like "The Lotus Lantern" of a certain oriental country, if you look at it purely from the perspective of losing money, this animated film did not lose money at the box office, and it even made a lot of money back.
But is the money invested by the production team of "The Lotus Lantern" in this work just money?
There are also a lot of relationships they have accumulated!
Use the most popular actors at the time to dub the animation;
Use the most popular singers at the time to compose and sing the background music in the movie;
Just from the two songs "Love is Just One Word" and "Thinking of You 365 Days", which became popular all over the country after that, the quality of these two songs is absolutely beyond reproach!
......And all of these are brought together by them at a "low" friendship price.
If not.
"Baolian Lantern" really can't make back its cost.
The SH Film Art Studio that produced "Baolian Lantern" would not have ended so quickly.
This shows.
How timely the funds that Kujo Jolyne allocated to them came.
It is precisely because of this price that no one will lose money.
Weber said that he could find someone to help.
After all, it is the same as the concerns mentioned above.
Weber doesn't want to harm his students who have already achieved success in order to realize his dream.
Otherwise, with the channels he has, his dream of becoming an actor would have been realized long ago.
Since it was like this last time.
Then this second time, could it be that it was because Kujo Jolyne saw the difficulties they were about to encounter that she allocated a new sum of funds to them?
"Old Kyon, do you remember that the problem we are worrying about now is the remaining funds of the crew. We can't hire too many actors to complete the filming of [King's Army]."
"So when President Kujo came over, I just thought of a solution - that is, to learn from Toei next door and recruit fans of our Green Dolphin Studio to act as extras in [King's Army]."
"And this method is very suitable for the treasure [King's Army], and it is also very cost-effective!"
Well, this is the method that Tetsuro Araki came up with at the time.
It is also a traditional art that Toei often uses when it is not enough to film "Kamen Rider".
Or "Kamen Rider" is a classic IP that has lasted for decades, and it has accumulated a huge fan base.
This is the true foundation of the "Kamen Rider" series!
Of course, the most important thing is that Toei has shared with its peers in the industry a new way to effectively utilize the fans of its own works!
That is, in some large-scale filming.
There is no need to spend a lot of money to invite so many actors to play, they can also treat fans as free labor and participate in the filming of the work as extras.
Even after the filming, these fans will thank them and give each of them an extra box office!
After all, for fans of Kamen Rider.
Now there is an opportunity for you to get in touch with Kamen Rider in person on the spot and watch Kamen Rider beat monsters from this first-person perspective, which is free in front of you.
Can you refuse it?
No one will refuse!
Just like no one will refuse to transform into a magical girl!
However, this perfect method actually has a problem.
That is, for these fans who are not professional actors, unless they are like Pucci, who can accurately find the chosen actors from the fans, it is highly likely that the acting skills of these fan actors cannot be expected...
"This is also the reason why I was a little hesitant after coming up with this method."
"Although Wamu, who plays Iskandar, is a villain in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure", this is just like most of the villains in "JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" are very charming. In fact, his number of fans is not a small number."
Araki Tetsuro continued He said: "If we just let these fans charge along with Iskandar played by Wamuu in [King's Army], there will be absolutely no problem."
"But if we want them to line up neatly like a real army, it is almost impossible to do it."
"Not to mention that they should still maintain the momentum of charging forward in the attack of [Star of the Creation of the World], which is like a Noble Phantasm that destroys the world... This is totally asking too much~~!"
Just like Gilgamesh, as an Archer, his strongest Noble Phantasm is not a bow and arrow, but a sword.
Iskandar, as a Rider, his strongest Noble Phantasm is naturally not a chariot.
It is the inherent barrier called [King's Army].
It is the wish Noble Phantasm that countless people who followed Iskandar during his lifetime as the King of Conquerors still wanted to follow him as Heroic Spirits after his death, and the reality was rewritten together.
However, because Iskandar's Master is not a Lesser Holy Grail, nor is he born with a connection to the Root, nor does he have a long family history, he is just an ordinary third-generation magician.
This inherent barrier is a big consumer of magic. For Iskandar, who has been lacking magic for a long time, it will basically not be opened several times in the story of "Fate/Zero".
This is certainly a good thing for Araki Tetsuro and others.
At least it will be much easier during filming.
Otherwise, Araki Tetsuro and others would not have discovered that the number of people for the filming of [King's Army] was not enough until now.
But for Gilgamesh...
Or, for Iskandar, who will inevitably have a battle with Gilgamesh.
This treasure that he hid as a trump card actually doomed Iskandar to defeat in terms of attributes.
The sword that cuts the world and the mental landscape that rewrites the world...
[King's Army] can be said to be able to trigger the special attack effect of [Star of the Creation of the World]!
Plus they are both EX levels.
[King's Army] basically cannot use the level advantage to offset this negative effect.
So it's only a moment.
In the plot of "Fate/Zero", in this decisive battle between Gilgamesh and Iskandar.
The world rewritten by [King's Army] was cut apart by [Star of Creation of Heaven and Earth] without any suspense!
Literally cut apart!
Whether it's the broken sky or the cut earth.
The army of heroes summoned by [King's Army] was soon wiped out in this doomsday scene!
In this case.
Not to mention the Japanese who have developed the idea that fate cannot be defied under the ravages of natural disasters in Japan.
Even if actors from other countries come to play this army of heroes and let them participate in this doomed battle.
I'm afraid that few of them can have the courage to continue charging forward in a completely stealthy state...
"According to my original idea, if we can still use the soldiers' enthusiasm for the commander, that is, the fans' love for Wamuu, in terms of military appearance"
"Then in this final battle with Gilgamesh, we who choose to use fans as extras for filming can only let Gilgamesh directly use [Star of the Creation of Heaven and Earth] to clear the field to solve this anticlimactic battle."
Araki Tetsuro sighed.
Although this is a solution to escape.
The highlight is that if you can't solve the problem, you can solve the person who caused the problem.
For this group of extras who turned from fans, they killed them in advance before the problem occurred, and directly eliminated the problem that has not yet been born from the source!
But this is indeed a good method.
"But just when I was about to tell President Kujo about my method, President Kujo not only guessed my method in advance, but also put a new patch on my method-"
"Only with sufficient funds can you hire good actors. If there is no funds, who will come to work for you for free? So you should take it well and use this money to shoot the treasure [King's Army] and the work "Fate/Zero" for me... These are the original words that President Kujo said to me at that time."
"At first, I didn't understand what this meant."
"Until I accidentally saw this sentence in a neighboring Eastern country-the Ming army is not fully paid, and it is invincible when it is fully paid!"
Originally, there was a little low feeling in the tone of Araki Tetsuro.
After he said this, he was immediately excited and said with a solemn expression: "President Kujo allocated funds to us for the second time just to tell us this!"
"Faith can indeed give people courage, but sometimes faith alone is useless, and material rewards are needed to improve this punishment system!"
"Old Kyon, do you think this set of moves is very similar to the situation of the ancient army?"
"Isn't it a coincidence? We want this ancient army!"
Yes, this is what Kujo Jolyne wanted to tell them!
Since it is difficult to find a group of people in Japan who have received professional military training, even simple military training such as military training.
Then wouldn't it be better for them to train themselves directly! ?
What they want to shoot is not a modern army.
It's just an ancient army.
And the ancient army is about morale.
To sum it up, there are only two points-common faith and money.
For example, it is because of the common faith that Jiang Wei can still hold high the banner of Ji Han and lead the army to resist after his lord Liu Chan surrendered.
And because the money and food can be distributed to the soldiers in time, ensuring their future, the army can still fight hard in desperate situations!
Otherwise, in Rongguang's words, it is - only a few hundred yuan a month, what are you playing with? !
Coincidentally, Green Dolphin Studio can now meet these two points!
It can only be said that it is worthy of President Kujo.
Every time is so timely!
Even on the surface, President Kujo has not come to their "Fate/Zero" crew for a long time.
But secretly, President Kujo has actually been paying attention to them silently.
Otherwise, how could President Kujo come to the crew when they encountered problems.
And after just coming to the crew, he saw the problems they were facing at the moment and came to guide them?
