Inhuman battle.

For all the viewers who saw this fight scene, this was the only reaction in their minds.

Although Nanaya, as a director, has always emphasized the concept of servants, everyone is very vague about this concept.

In the minds of most European and American audiences, the so-called servants are probably similar to the mutants in "X-Men".

Use a wide variety of abilities to battle on screen as the Brotherhood of Mutants takes on the X-Men.

It's not a big deal. It's more like a question of whether a Japanese director can shoot to that level.

As "Titanic" set sail, American audiences had a mysterious confidence in big-budget movies.

They believe that only their own films are top-notch, and filmmakers from other countries are just copying others.

But the fight between the two people that was now being broadcast made them realize that fighting could actually be filmed in this way.

The level of action scenes in different movies is different, and this is something that all audiences are very clear about.

The red and blue battle currently being broadcast is undoubtedly the top level.

If the action scenes in the finished movie can maintain this level, it will be worth buying a ticket to watch even if the overall plot is a piece of shit.

The battle between the red and blue servants is not like the magical battle in the oriental movie "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", nor is it like the simple and crude display of superpowers like in "X-Men".

The battle between Lancer and Archer was full of power and speed. Although there were no physical blows, it was filled with the flavor of male hormones.

The sound of weapons breaking through the air, the sparks produced by the friction between weapons, and the powerful sound effects of metal strikes.

These elements combine to form an exciting war song.

It is obvious that the two people have completely different fighting styles, but at this moment they are so coordinated.

Seeing this, the audience finally understood what the director had been emphasizing about the fact that servants are different from humans.

Anyone who can use such fighting techniques is definitely not human, and their fighting abilities are definitely not something that normal people can handle.

At first, everyone thought that the so-called servants were just superheroes, like Wolverine or Spider-Man.

They may not be afraid of guns and have no problem facing heavily armed terrorists, but they are not invincible.

However, the servant in front of him gave people such a feeling. Lancer's swift attacks and ghostly movements made it difficult for people to imagine how ordinary people should deal with such an opponent.

At this time, the audience finally experienced what kind of existence the Servants are.

They are the beings who created myths, legends, fables and history, and their existence itself is a legend.

This fierce battle lasted for a full 4 minutes without any pause during the entire process.

Normally, a fight in a movie wouldn't last this long, because it would be very tiring to keep the audience on edge.

Especially for long fights, if the rhythm is not right it will easily make the audience feel bored.

So generally speaking, a fight in a movie won't last more than 2 minutes.

It doesn't mean that everyone will stop fighting after 2 minutes, but that they will pause for a while, talk a few words, or be interrupted by others.

This way, there will be no sense of tension during the transition, and the audience's emotions will not be kept hanging.

However, Nanaya did not do so this time. He let Lancer and Arche fight for 4 minutes. Except for the occasional roar when they attacked, the two did not even say a harsh word to each other.

But after this fight, the audience was not bored at all, but felt that they wanted more.

So after the protagonist Shirou Emiya interrupted the fight between the two people, several viewers even complained.

The next plot is that Lancer chases Shirou into the teaching building and kills him in the corridor.

However, Nanaya did not show the scene of Shirou being stabbed by a gun, but ended the clip with the red shadow of Lancer's gun.

Next is Kotomine Kirei's explanation of the Holy Grail War in the first trailer.

However, the picture is different from the first version of the trailer. Because the previous clips introduced enough action scenes, this time more of the servants appear in various handsome poses.

This trailer finally ended with the subtitles [Released in Summer 2005].

When the lights in the lecture hall came back on, the first thing Nanaya heard was thunderous applause.

"Thanks."

Nanaya picked up the microphone and thanked the applauding audience with a smile. This is the most basic quality of a story creator.

"Thank you all for your support and encouragement."

After the applause died down a bit, Nanaya spoke again, "Next is the question-and-answer session. You can ask questions to everyone present. Does anyone have any questions?"

The first reporter to raise his hand directed the question directly to Nanaya.

After all, he is not only the director and producer of the film, but also the second most famous person among all the people present.

"Hello, Director Kiryu. I'm a reporter from The New York Times."

The reporter introduced himself first, and then asked Nanaya: "The story in your new movie is called "Holy Grail War", which is a bit similar to the current bestseller "The Da Vinci Code". After all, both of your stories mention the fight for the "Holy Grail". Is there any special connection between them?"

"Well, this can only be called a coincidence."

Nanaya knew that as long as he mentioned any connection, it would probably be misinterpreted by these reporters as plagiarism, and the entertainment section headlines of major newspapers tomorrow would be full of excitement.

Therefore, Nanaya must not leave any handle for these guys, but he also cannot say that there is no connection at all, otherwise these guys will definitely say that he tried his best to cover up the facts.

So, Nanaya organized his words a little, and then continued: "First of all, if you have read Mr. Dan Brown's novels, you will know that there are no supernatural things like Servants in his stories. At least in his stories, people will die if they jump from the rooftop."

There was a good-natured laugh in the lecture hall.

"We all know that in religious legends, the Holy Grail appeared at the Passover meal before the crucifixion of Jesus."

Nanaya paused for a second, then continued: "At that time, after Jesus sent away Judas Iscariot, he and the 11 disciples used a wine cup, which is the Holy Grail."

"People later believed that the cup had some magical powers because of this special occasion. For example, drinking the water from the Holy Grail would make people rejuvenate, come back to life, and gain eternal life."

"My inspiration for the Holy Grail War comes from these legends. The Holy Grail has a sacred power, so it can bring ancient heroes to modern society to perform this sacred battle ritual and finally reward the victor."

In fact, there are certain similarities between Fate and "The Da Vinci Code", for example, the Holy Grail is made up of women.

However, Nanaya had no idea what kind of coincidence there was.

After all, he is neither Dan Brown nor Nasu Kinoko, he is just following the setting of the Holy Grail War itself.

After Nanaya finished answering this question with a smile, he handed the stage over to the actors.

After all, the reporters and fans who come to the comic convention definitely hope to interact more with the stars, rather than just watching the director entertain himself the entire time.

The problem that Nanaya was worried about, that some reporters would disrupt the party, did not happen. There were indeed a few tricky questions, but they were all blocked by Uncle Mark and Scarlett.

Most of the reporters tend to bully the weak and fear the strong. After seeing that Uncle Mark and Scarlett were not easy to deal with, they stopped looking for trouble and instead asked about the content of the film project itself.

What the reporters are most concerned about is the cooperative atmosphere of the crew, and they try to dig up some explosive information from it.

On this point, everyone in the crew spoke with one voice, saying that this was a very friendly filming process, and that everyone was harmonious and loving during the filming process. They were a big, loving family, and there were hardly any conflicts.

This made the reporters feel a little regretful. After all, the Fate project was not a very famous crew, and just reporting these routine news would definitely not attract much attention.

But Nanaya did not satisfy these guys' desire to always make big news.

After answering reporters' questions, Fate's press conference was over, but Washimine's press conference was not over.

Nanaya also briefed reporters on the upcoming launch of various European versions of [See Moon], as well as the next work focus of Washimine Entertainment, and announced Washimine Group's determination to enter the entertainment industry.

[See Moon] currently only has North American and Japanese versions online. Although it can be used in other countries and regions, the server speed is definitely not satisfactory.

In addition, for users whose native language is not English or Japanese, no matter which version of [See Moon] they are currently using, it is like reading a foreign book.

However, when launching other language versions of the [See Moon] website, Washimine did not simply translate the text, but instead cooperated with local bosses to outsource the website.

Washimine provides copyrighted videos, while the operation and management of the website are left to local companies.

Because the media industry is a very troublesome thing, it is strictly controlled in every country and region.

Washimine had no intention of wasting time on these things.

Moreover, the classification systems of different countries and regions are also different. For example, Germany's classification is very strict when it comes to blood and gore, but it is extremely lenient when it comes to love affairs between men and women.

And the British culture...

It was too difficult to figure it out one by one, so Shion directly outsourced the online copyright of the movie.

As long as they still use the name [See Moon], these people can do whatever they want in their own territory.
