The audience was very interested in the title [Observer of the Temple of Time] and even wanted to know what the phrase meant.
Analyzing the details of the Fate and Type-Moon stories has long become a must-do for fans.
In addition, the films directed by Nanaya Kiryu rarely give out useless information, which leads to more and more audiences nitpicking on the details.
However, compared to the audience who pursue details and plot, those in the industry are more concerned about Kiryu Nanaya's performance methods.
As the current holder of the world box office record, Nanaya Kiryu has become an object of imitation for everyone.
"This isn't a standard Nanaya Kiryuu opening."
Miss Katsushika frowned slightly.
As someone who has a deep understanding of Nanaya's films, she knows very well that Nanaya's films rarely start with an introduction to the world view.
This approach will indeed give the audience a feeling that the movie world is very grand, but it will also reduce the audience's sense of involvement.
So the opening of Kiryu Nanaya's movies always starts with the characters.
Through a plot, the protagonist of the movie is introduced to the audience, allowing them to understand what kind of person the starring role of the movie is.
Then, using this character as the core of the world, the film slowly tells the audience what kind of world this story takes place in.
This is why fans find the story of Nanaya Kiryu so fascinating.
But this time FGO is different.
Nanaya directly explained to the audience what Chaldea is through narration. This approach of dropping obvious settings at the beginning of the movie is obviously different from previous movies.
"Nanaya should know the advantages of his previous movie openings. This time he's going against the grain..."
Katsushika tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest. She didn't think Nanaya would do something like cutting off his own arm and destroying his martial arts.
But she also couldn't guess why Nanaya did this.
You have to know that the amount of information in the monologue just now is not small, and it is still a question whether the audience can remember it in just a few seconds.
In Katsushika's opinion, it would be better to let Mashu and Fujimaru Ritsuka appear at the beginning and then use these two characters as the opening.
"I hope Nanaya can bring me different surprises."
Katsushika said to herself.
It's a good thing that Nanaya has changed, but Katsushika doesn't want Nanaya to fail.
However, judging from the current reactions of surrounding audiences, the audience can still keep up with the pace of the movie.
However, at present, only fans of Fate are watching the movie. When the movie is released on a large scale, it will be a big question whether ordinary audiences can understand it.
At this time, the story on the screen is progressing in an orderly manner.
Under Fou's guidance, Mashu met her destined Master, Ritsuka Fujimaru, who was sleeping in the corridor.
I have to say that the pace of the movie is inevitably a bit slow in the beginning of the FGO prologue.
But there is nothing we can do about it, after all, there are too many settings to talk about at the beginning of the movie.
It would take too long to explain everything clearly.
Moreover, the storyline of FGO is different from that of "Madoka Magica". It does not have a subversive twist like the senior's U-turn.
Therefore, in order to prevent the audience from feeling bored, Nanaya made a lot of efforts, such as the design of Chaldea's facilities.
The original design of Chaldea in the game had a strong sci-fi flavor, which was indeed very fresh for previous Fate fans.
After all, in everyone's general impression, magicians are antiques living in the last century.
Therefore, various science fiction styles are of course novel.
It's not enough just to use it in the movie.
Now in 2011, the simple science fiction style can no longer surprise these well-informed audiences.
Therefore, Nanaya strengthened the visual magic part, instead of simply letting the audience understand from the setting that this is a magic workshop.
The audience is indeed used to watching science fiction and has seen a lot of magic.
However, this environment created by the combination of science fiction and magic still brings a different sense of novelty to the audience and does not make people feel bored at all.
Looking at the entire screening hall, whether they were guests or ordinary audiences, whether they were loyal fans of Fate or not, they all watched the movie with great interest.
Of course, the audience is more concerned about when the Holy Grail War will begin.
After all, people don't come to see the pink-haired girl with glasses, but to watch heroes fighting each other.
Especially for old Fate fans, although they don't hate new characters such as Mashu and Ritsuka, they care more about when Red A, Big Dog, and Artoria will appear.
Moreover, the beginning of the movie says that mankind will be destroyed, but the characters that have appeared in the movie from the beginning to now all have a leisurely and casual feeling.
Ritsuka Fujimaru who can fall asleep anytime and anywhere, and Dr. Roman who slacks off and watches live broadcasts of online idols.
Even Mashu, who is a bit more serious, gives people a mostly gentle feeling.
The end of the world mentioned at the beginning of the movie seems to have nothing to do with them at all, and there is no sense of urgency.
"Given Kiryu Nanaya's character, there should be an unexpected incident at this time to lead to the main plot—"
boom!
Before Miss Katsushika could finish her words, a bomb interrupted her complaints.
"It's finally started."
Unlike other viewers who started to get excited and kept their eyes glued to the screen.
Miss Katsushika checked the time immediately.
"40 minutes... This is a bit slower than other films directed by Nanaya Kiryu."
Nanaya's previous films would get to the point in the first half hour, so 40 minutes is obviously a bit long.
But then again, if you compare it to the entire FGO series, the 40-minute opening is a bit short.
But for Ritsuka Fujimaru, his leisurely daily life ended with the appearance of this bomb.
Because he was worried about Mashu, Ritsuka rushed to the central control room immediately after the explosion.
But with his normal body, it was impossible for him to move the heavy object pressing on Mashu.
What's worse is that the system operates automatically.
Not only were Ritsuka and Mashu trapped together in the isolation wall, they were also forced to transfer their spirits directly to Fuyuki City in 2003.
Although the pace was slow at the beginning, when the plot began to turn, Nanaya's fast-paced and high-density information storytelling technique was once again presented to the audience.
In just less than 5 minutes, when the audience came to their senses, the burning Fuyuki City had appeared before everyone's eyes.
Although it was just a fleeting panoramic shot, the burning modern city still caused the audience to exclaim in surprise.
Even though it is in ruins, even though there is no living person, even though many places have been completely changed beyond recognition.
However, countless viewers who missed Fuyuki City day and night still shed tears.
"You're really back…"
After seeing the city he had long dreamed of, Shiori Kaede felt satisfied and dissatisfied at the same time.
He wanted to see those familiar Servants, and he wanted to hear the sound of the girl releasing her Noble Phantasm.
He wanted more...
Shiori Kaede gradually realized that he might be more greedy than he expected.
But will that director allow himself to be satisfied?
After entering Fuyuki City, the narrative pace of the story suddenly accelerated.
As soon as Fujimaru Ritsuka woke up, he was attacked. Red arrows rained down from the sky, trying to skewer him.
Fortunately, at the last moment, Mashu, wearing black armor, raised her shield to block the attack.
"This outfit is nice~"
Kujo Fuu whistled at Yumi beside him and deliberately teased her in the tone of a dirty uncle.
"Stop talking, I'm still shy now."
Yumi blushed and covered her face with her hands.
It was just embarrassing when she was filming the movie, but now when her outfit appeared on the big screen, she was on pins and needles.
"What's there to be shy about? I'm actually a little envious of you." Kujo Fuu crossed his legs and complained, "I only have this set of not-so-good-looking white clothes."
"Um...Kujo-senpai, are you sure you're not talking about me?"
Inukai Takashi was a little speechless after hearing this.
He knew that in the prologue, Kujo Fuu only had one set of Chaldea uniform.
But she only appeared in this movie for less than 3 minutes!
Inukai Atsuhiro has seen the setting drawings. Kujo Fuu has three sets of clothes in "Shimousa Province".
In addition to the Chaldean uniforms worn during the time travel, there are also two sets of special Japanese-style costumes.
In comparison, I, the protagonist, am the one who looks pitiful in all white from beginning to end.
Kujo Fuu waved his hand in disdain: "Children should not interrupt when adults are talking. Besides, why do you, as a man, need so many fancy clothes?"
"…"
Inukai Atsuhiro could only shrink his neck obediently.
Fortunately, in "The Hundred Years' War of the Evil Dragon", he has quite a lot of costumes playing.
In addition to the white Chaldean uniforms, there were also light armor worn in war, and a variety of civilian clothes.
But it has to be admitted that his clothes are far less beautiful than Kujo Fuu's, which makes Inukai very depressed.
However, Inukai also knew the reason why the crew did this. Ritsuka Fujimaru's peripherals did not sell as well as Gudako's.
When all fans buy FGO peripherals, the first choice is definitely those handsome servants.
As for the peripheral products of the two masters, people will definitely choose Gudako with gorgeous clothes.
There won't be too many people around you who will be chosen, as they are mainly used for team formation.
Although it is helpless, there is nothing we can do about it.
Who told me to play the role of a tool in the previous plots?
Inukai Atsuhiro can only hope that later on, the audience will like the character he plays.
Mashu's shield girl costume really caught the audience's attention when it appeared on the screen.
Although the previous casual clothes did not cover Yumi's figure, they did not reveal too much either.
Therefore, the audience can see that Yumi has a good figure, but they don't have a very intuitive feeling.
But when Mashu put on the tights, the difference between the front and the back became apparent.
This is so exciting.
You should know that there are many female characters in the Fate series, but female servants are rare.
Only Artoria's appearance is not much different from Mash's age.
But although they are both young knights, there is a significant difference between Mashu's youthfulness and Artoria's maturity.
Many male viewers looked at their girlfriends, thinking about the possibility of wearing this dress on them.
Even if I have no intention of betraying the Knight King, it is a good idea to change my taste occasionally.
But the audience's attention did not stay on Mashu for too long.
Because a new character appeared.
After Mashu blocked the rain of arrows for the Master, the camera began to move away.
Then a familiar yet unfamiliar person appeared on the screen.
"Archer!!!!"
The audience was immediately excited.
At this moment, there was thunderous applause in the theater.
