For example, in Doraemon, the blue cat first used this camera to zoom in and film a picture of a dorayaki.
Then, he had Nobita film himself holding a knife and fork, happily jumping up and down in place.
After that, combining and editing these two scenes together created a film of Doraemon jumping on a giant mountain of dorayaki while holding a knife and fork.
In that episode, Nobita thought this was very interesting and wanted to make a movie.
However, he and Doraemon ended up arguing because both wanted to be the main character.
In the end, Doraemon became the main character of the story, using the excuse that if he wasn't the lead, he wouldn't lend them the tools.
Nobita, forced to become a supporting character but still on the side of justice, specifically ran to Shizuka's house to find her.
It just so happened that Dekisugi was also there, and he found it interesting and wanted to join in.
Doraemon also thought he was very suitable, so he appointed him as screenwriter and director.
Dekisugi happened to have a script he had written previously, "Universe Great Devil King," which they could use.
Thereupon, Doraemon took out various tools and had everyone split up to prepare.
Nobita went to find Suneo, Yasuo, and Haruo to help, and the four agreed it was best not to involve Gian; otherwise, they would have to follow his directions for acting.
After everyone finished the preparatory work and the movie officially started filming, Gian somehow found his way over.
He asked what everyone was doing, and Suneo quickly rushed over to flatter him, saying they were making a movie and were just about to look for him to be the main character.
In reality, the only role left was the major villain, the Universe Great Devil King, so everyone tried to trick and coax him into joining.
After filming began, Gian kept watching from the side, but he started getting annoyed because he felt strange about not having a chance to appear.
Furthermore, Gian's mother had told him to return home early, so Sugi said they would start filming with the great star's appearance.
After Gian changed into the Devil King costume, he felt it suited him very well and was quite satisfied.
First, they filmed the scene of him laughing loudly, followed by the scene of him eating (Gian: That's right, even a hero of justice needs to eat).
Next, they filmed the scene of him "beating up the bad guys," followed by the scene of him being defeated (Sugi: A hero of justice needs to be in danger to be interesting!).
And finally, the scene of him taking a nap after finally defeating the bad guys (the group was secretly snickering).
Hmm, the entire group was treating Gian like a fool a Japanese person being played for a fool.
Although he was indeed Japanese.
Later, during the screening, everyone was afraid to invite Gian to watch, but he found out.
When Gian arrived, it was precisely the moment his character appeared, and he saw that the preceding footage had been edited to show:
Him laughing loudly because his subordinates had captured Shizuka, picking up a knife and fork to prepare to eat Shizuka, then fighting the boys, being defeated by the hero, and lying on the ground after being defeated (while the group cheered)... Without a doubt, he was furious, even crying with rage as he waved his fists, threatening to punch everyone.
Fortunately, everyone had already run away by then.
Tiger Warrior, Lion Warrior, Elephant Warrior... Even a group of elementary school students like Doraemon and his friends could film a very decent movie when they worked together.
"Very decent" here meant the plot logic was sound, and the preparation work, including costumes, makeup, and props, was very complete.
Combined with the dedicated performances of the group and the assistance of Doraemon's tools,
Such a film would be considered a work of acceptable quality.
In the Hunter world of the 1980s, let alone in a place as isolated as Meteor City,
Producing a work of this quality would definitely be extremely popular with the children of Meteor City.
"If the filming equipment and those things are fine,"
Chrollo thought for a moment. "Then what about the costumes and some of the body suits..."
"Leave those to me as well."
Moge agreed again.
"Then I have no problem."
With this assurance, Chrollo immediately began writing rapidly on the paper.
His thoughts were clear, his inspiration flowed like a spring, and his writing was inspired.
Moreover, as he spoke, he explained to everyone:
"We previously showed the children of Meteor City the film 'Cleaning Squadron,' and based on their reaction, they are very receptive to this type of film and television work."
"Even if they can accept other works, having been exposed to films like 'Cleaning Squadron' first, they will certainly prefer works in that vein."
"So I think the work we film can also be shot using this 'Squadron' type as the genre..."
Uvogin, Phinks, and the others beside him nodded repeatedly as they listened.
Although they weren't clear on things like equipment or genre,
They knew that if it was a work similar to "Cleaning Squadron," they would absolutely agree with both hands and feet.
Because
"Cleaning Squadron" had many roles!!
Putting aside everything else, just the configuration of a single squadron had seven people: four men and three women.
This corresponded perfectly to the seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Plus the roles Moge requested, like the Inventor, and some villain characters.
It was completely enough for their current number of personnel!!
"Since everyone is okay with it, we will use the 'Squadron' genre as the main theme for our filming..."
After everyone unanimously agreed and Moge nodded, Chrollo circled the two Hunter words for "Squadron" on the paper.
Once the story genre was determined, the next step was the general setting and framework.
"We must adhere to the special environment of Meteor City, so it's impossible to set the story's background in a large city."
"We can set it in an isolated forest or a Secret Realm..."
At the beginning of the work "Hunter × Hunter," there is this famous quote:
"Rare animals, exotic beasts, treasures, secret treasures, demon realms, Secret Realms all of these possess a magic emanating from the word 'Unknown,' causing countless people to willingly become its captives... And such people are called Hunters."
Many Secret Realms and demon realms exist in this world.
Setting it this way wouldn't break immersion, and the children of Meteor City would understand it.
After Chrollo made such a good start and determined the general direction,
Everyone scrambled to be the first to offer their opinions and suggestions.
For a time, the entire room was noisy and bustling.
So many people were crowded together, yet it didn't feel cramped or narrow; instead, it felt enthusiastic and very lively.
Finally, after a morning of discussion, plus some constructive input from Moge,
The general framework of the story was settled:
[In this world, there exists a Divine Mountain Secret Realm, inhabited by various fierce beasts and humans.]
[In this Divine Mountain Secret Realm, the fierce beasts and humans coexist harmoniously and happily.]
[Until one day, a group of ambitious bandits broke this peace and tranquility.]
[This evil bandit group heard that a legendary great secret treasure was hidden within the Divine Mountain Secret Realm.]
[For the sake of the great secret treasure, the bandit group continuously sent out the evil Monster Men they developed using biotechnology to launch attacks.]
[To protect this Divine Mountain and everyone's lives, the Inventor Doctor residing here successfully used his inventions to bestow the power of the fierce beasts upon some warriors willing to step forward and protect everyone.]
[These warriors successively gained the strength of different fierce beasts, united to form a team, and together confronted the evil bandit organization, engaging in a series of duels. The name of the team is...]
"Let's just call it the Fierce Beast Squadron!!"
Hearing the crucial point, Uvogin stood up excitedly, spitting saliva everywhere.
"I want to be the Tiger Warrior, the Lion Warrior, the Elephant Warrior..."
The others completely ignored this idiot.
"Protecting one's home and way of life that's a very good premise," Pakunoda praised.
"And harnessing the power of various animals sounds very appealing!!"
Shira smiled gently and said.
"Yes, yes, there are so many types of animals, we can harness the power of many different animals!!"
Sarasa nodded her small head repeatedly.
"That's right, with so many animals, we can choose and combine the most powerful ones."
Franklin agreed and supported the idea.
"Flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the sea..."
Shanark calculated on his fingers.
"The children of Meteor City mostly recognize many powerful and majestic animals, and they all have different preferences."
Nobunaga seemed eager to try it out.
"They definitely have animals they like and support... so they will absolutely love our work!!"
Phinks grinned and excitedly pumped his fist.
"They definitely will like it," Feitan added in a low voice.
"Mhm."
This was Machi; she simply nodded slightly in agreement.
