Chapter 245 When King Arthur Complains About King Arthur

The one-hour press conference went very smoothly. Nanaya said everything he could say, and the rest depended on the results of his efforts.

Although Twitter and Facebook were not online in 2004, the means of instant sharing on the Internet were still very limited.

However, the content of Fate's press conference still spread through chat software such as MSN.

Especially the battle between Archer and Lancer, which was praised to the sky by the audience.

Although the official press conference emphasized that video recording was prohibited, there were so many people at the scene that the video of the fight still spread.

Of course, I don't know if it's ironic or not, but all of these guys were uploaded to [See Moon].

But there is nothing that can be done about it. With so many people at such a large press conference, there will definitely be cases of sneak shots.

You have to know that even more than ten years later, the earliest version of the special preview trailer for the press conference of "Avengers 3" was still secretly filmed and posted online.

As for posting it to [See Moon], Nanaya felt that it was probably because these people couldn't find anywhere else to show off.

After all, there are too few platforms for sharing these days, but posting it on his own platform really makes Nanaya feel a little bit amused and helpless.

However, after Nanaya took a look at the video circulating on the Internet and confirmed that the clarity was blurry as shit, he decided not to care about it.

This video can be used to increase popularity and also satisfy the fans who cannot come to the scene.

Nanaya also took a look at the comments and found that most of them were positive, thinking that this fight scene was very cool.

The criticism also mainly focused on the fact that the video was shot with low pixels and the picture was not clear.

Of course, there are also a few people with a strong artistic spirit who think that this kind of commercial film is meaningless. After belittling Fate, they began to praise Kubrick.

As for these guys who like to seek attention, Nanaya basically just read them and doesn't even have the desire to ask them to delete them.

"Please arrange to edit the clips of the actors' appearance and the Q&A session, and post them to [See Moon] under the official name."

Nanaya turned around and gave an order to a Washimine staff member.

There is basically no problem in sending out these insignificant videos, but as for the 5-minute clip, Nanaya can only say sorry.

Due to the progress of the publicity arrangements, the official announcement of this video can only be made in December.

The post-production of the first half of Fate has not been completed yet, so it is not yet time to really start promoting it.

The focus of this San Diego Comic-Con promotion is not this clip, but the many actors themselves.

Because he was afraid of having to go to the toilet during the press conference, Nanaya didn't have lunch.

So after the press conference, Nanaya arranged the tasks and then had a simple lunch with Rin and the others.

Then, Rin and the others returned to the Fate booth to continue promoting the film, while Nanaya accompanied Mark and Scarlett to the airport to say farewell.

During this time, when Nanaya was chatting with Scarlett, he heard that she had recently taken on a big project and would play the leading role in a commercial film.

"This movie is a big production just like your Fate. It is currently scheduled to be released in the summer of 2005. It might become a competitor."

Scarlett was very excited when she said this.

It's nothing, after all, people feel happy when they are happy.

Which actress who enters Hollywood, the world of fame and fortune, does not aim to become a big star?

Whether it's art or business; whether it's an Oscar winner or a commercial box office hit.

Now that you have entered the entertainment industry, what you are fighting for is fame and fortune.

If you are indifferent to fame and fortune, it is not suitable for you in this circle. The monastery is the destination for such people.

However, after hearing Scarlett's words, Nanaya's eyebrows frowned slightly.

"Oh, which director's work is this?"

Nanaya asked, pretending to be nonchalant.

Scarlett smiled and replied, "It's directed by Michael Bay. I can't tell you the name and content of the movie because it's not the time for the crew to promote it yet."

[Really.]

When Scarlett mentioned the big production, Nanaya immediately thought it would be this movie.

Although Scarlett didn't mention the name, when Michael Bay was mentioned, Nanaya immediately knew it was the movie "Escape from the Island".

Moreover, Nanaya also knew that the ending of this movie was not very good, which caused Explosion Bay's directorial career to hit the bottom. It was not until two years later that he rose again with "Transformers".

And Scarlett, the heroine, was once again pushed back into the literary and artistic circle.

It wasn't until she took on the role of Black Widow that Scarlett's career as a female star finally began to improve.

Nanaya opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but finally gave up.

Scarlett and I are not that familiar with each other yet, and telling her not to take this project might very likely damage the relationship between the two of us.

After all, looking at the model of [Michael Bay + commercial blockbuster] now, the possibility of failure is very small no matter how you look at it.

Although "Pearl Harbor" caused Explosive Bay's evaluation to drop slightly, it has not completely hit the bottom.

To be fair, the failure of "Escape from the Island" is not entirely due to the quality of the film, but in terms of the quality of the film itself, it is at an average level.

Although it has the old problem of Exploding Bay that cannot be changed, it still has the necessary commercial elements.

The failure of this movie is to a certain extent due to problems in its publicity and promotion, among which inadequate publicity plays a big role.

So Nanaya thought it would be better to let things take their own course.

What if in this life, the movie becomes successful due to other reasons?

For example, the success of his own Fate boosted the box office of "Escape from the Island".

Besides, in Nanaya's memory, "Escape from the Island" will start filming in the second half of this year, and Scarlett may have even signed the contract by then.

It's probably too late to ask people to quit at this time.

And Nanaya still has his own little thoughts in his mind. Now Scarlett has only signed a contract with Washimine for 3 movies.

It's not that Washimine doesn't want more, but Scarlett doesn't want to sign too many.

After the failure of "Escape from the Island", Washimine was faced with Scarlett Johansson, whose only commercial success was the Fate series.

Will I be able to take the opportunity to sign more film contracts at that time?

You know, once Marvel's magic becomes popular, there will be no such good opportunities anymore.

So in the following time, Nanaya treated himself as a qualified listener and did not express his opinion on Scarlett's new film.

Because Scarlett's flight was earlier, she checked in earlier than Mark.

"Did you just want to say something to Ms. Johnson?"

After only two people were left, Mark secretly asked Nanaya.

"Why do you ask?"

Mark shrugged and replied, "Because you look like you're about to say something but can't."

"Is it that obvious?"

"Almost. But Miss Johnson was so excited that she didn't notice it."

For the first time, Nanaya felt that Uncle Mark, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, also had a bad side.

"Well, I just think there's something wrong with that project."

Nanaya answered casually, "After all, looking at the box office data of Michael Bay's recent films, it can be seen that his three tricks are not as popular as before."

"But no one can say for sure about this kind of thing. After all, the movie hasn't been made yet."

Seeing Uncle Mark's thoughtful expression, Nanaya quickly added.

"I do believe in your vision, Director." Mark joked, "Next time I'm unsure about a movie, I'll ask Director Kiryu to come and make an assessment."

"Other movies don't matter. I know you can do well in superhero movies."

Nanaya said, rolling his eyes.

"Haha, what superhero can I play? Batman? Do I look tall, rich and handsome?"

Uncle Mark laughed out loud, thinking Nanaya was joking.

[He doesn't look tall, rich and handsome, but he's not totally out of place as a dirty homeless guy.]

[It seems that the only difference between Dr. Bruce Banner and Mr. Bruce Wayne is a last name. ]

Nanaya thought with a smile on his face.

So far, the Fate crew's promotional activities in San Diego, North America have basically ended.

Nanaya gave the maids two days off as compensation for their hard work over the past few days.

Lily and the others first took advantage of the last day of the San Diego Comic-Con to have some fun, and also got a taste of what an American comic convention is like.

On the last day of the holiday, several girls stayed in their hotel rooms to rest during the day.

They were exhausted from work in the previous few days, and visiting the comic convention on the last day consumed the last bit of their energy.

In the evening, Lily and the others, having recovered a little bit of their energy, went to see a movie.

However, everyone's viewing experience this time was not very good.

You can tell something from the fact that Lily was still complaining after she got on the plane back to Japan during this seven nights.

"I'm so pissed! I was so looking forward to it, but I didn't expect it to be such a bad movie."

"Lily."

Nanaya poked his head out from behind the newspaper and said to Lily, who was still angry, "You've been talking for three hours. Please calm down a bit."

"Pfft~ It's all the fault of those rubbish filmmakers!"

Lily pouted and said unconvincedly, "The plot and characters are all bullshit! Don't they know that adaptation is not making up stories, and drama is not nonsense?"

"Didn't I tell you before not to have too much hope?" Nanaya said helplessly, holding his forehead.

However, Nanaya could understand Lily's feelings to some extent. Watching bad movies was not a problem, but watching bad movies related to oneself was a problem, which made people very depressed.

The movie that made Lily angry was called "King Arthur". Judging from the scale of its production, this movie could be regarded as an epic masterpiece in 2004.

But it was obvious that Lily Wettin didn't like either the plot of the movie or the character itself.
