Chapter 1307: Special effects will be a hundred times more shocking than models!!

~16 min read 3,022 words

Naoki Zhongxi from Fuji TV specifically requested his superiors to come to Jurassic Island to interview the filming of "Jurassic Park".

Because of the previous promotional heat, and the public's curiosity about "buying an island to film a movie", the station wanted to make a program specifically for this movie of Shu You, and found the publicity department of Shu You Film directly.

And Eiichiro Watanabe of the publicity department felt it was okay, just taking advantage of the movie's production disclosure opportunity to be together with reporters from other media and newspapers~

When Naoki Zhongxi took a boat to Jurassic Island, his first look was full of surprise:

"Is this whole town a film set?"

It was noon break, the port town in front was bustling with people, izakayas and restaurants were full of guests, various products and advertisements were everywhere, and it was no different from the commercial area of a tourist classic!

Now, besides the crew on Jurassic Island, there were construction teams, logistics teams, and small vendors who came smelling the money, plus the reporters who came today... there were almost a thousand people on the island daily, so it naturally looked much livelier~

"Haha, more than that!"

Takahiro Makino, who designed and built this island, was pulled over to give an explanation, and he said to Naoki Zhongxi,

"This is just an entrance, the whole island is the film set for Jurassic Park!"

He pointed to the small mountain seen from afar:

"Just like on that mountain, the third phase project of the park is still under construction!"

"On the mountain?"

Naoki Zhongxi looked into the distance, and indeed there were traces of construction on the small mountain in the center of the island. Seeing this situation, he hurriedly signaled Naoto Tsuji, who was carrying the camera,

"Naoto Tsuji, film all of these properly! That mountain, give it a close-up!"

"......"

Camera boy Naoto Tsuji rolled his eyes, and then operated the machine silently.

And on the other side, Takahiro Makino was still explaining, not only to Naoki Zhongxi, but also to other media reporters who were invited together:

"Ma Sai San once said that the movie 'Jurassic Park' will definitely be a series in the future, and this Jurassic Island in reality will become a theme park open to everyone in the future!"

"So there are so many amusement facilities under construction now... there are even resort hotels on the island, and they are no different from high-end hotels in Tokyo!"

The reporters who were invited together, and the accompanying cameramen, were all listening to Takahiro Makino's explanation with great interest, and everyone was amazed by Ma Sai's grand gesture.

When they got on the off-road vehicle and headed towards the film set, Takahiro Makino was still introducing:

"This kind of off-road vehicle is customized from car companies, and this kind of car is also used in the movie... convenient for traveling between attractions on the island."

The car circled around the island a bit, and the sound of shutters clicking sounded from time to time. The barbed wire, museums, dinosaur sculptures passing slowly by the roadside... everything had to be filmed as material for subsequent reports.

Under such a journey, the group soon came to the filming site. It was just lunch time, and after the crew finished eating, everyone found a place to eat their bento.

As the director, Ma Sai was also eating lunch in the director's shed with the main creators...

"Ma Sai San, the media reporters are here!"

Takahiro Makino brought people over and handed them to Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao, and Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao also informed the director of this at this time.

"Ah... are they here?"

Having rested for a while at noon, Ma Sai had basically finished his crew bento, so he said,

"Then let the media reporters interview as they please... let them see the real appearance of the crew~"

"Yes~ I will take them around the crew~"

Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao nodded, and then gave instructions. However, there would naturally be some crew assistants helping to watch, so as not to let the reporters really take pictures randomly... can't overestimate the integrity of reporters too much!

"Harrison, and Yuko-san~"

Ma Sai said to the two protagonists who were eating together,

"Later, reporters should come to interview you two. Just be casual, this is our mid-term promotion, used to maintain heat..."

Harrison Ford wasn't too worried, anyway he didn't speak Nihon language, unless the reporter brought an interpreter, otherwise it was impossible to ask deep questions.

"Yes!" Tian Zhongyuzi laughed, "But I think they will definitely come to interview Ma Sai San first!"

"Haha, what's there to interview about me? There's no Akina visiting the set this time!"

"That's not necessarily true~"

"That must be the Tyrannosaurus Rex!!!"

Looking at this dinosaur that was several stories high, Naoki Zhongxi felt like he had returned to his childhood when he went to the dinosaur museum.

He looked at the numerous dinosaur models on the set with excitement... Naoto Tsuji, the cameraman beside him, was also the same!

Boys, the things they like from childhood to adulthood are probably about the same, dinosaurs, monsters, Ultraman, Monkey King, etc. ~

"Yes!"

Prop master Wu Jingjian received him with a full face of smiles,

"This is professionally designed, specially customized, genuine leather material, realistic painting, can move and run... Tyrannosaurus Rex!!"

"....."

Naoki Zhongxi only grasped one key word:

"She can move?!"

"Of course!"

Wu Jingjian was full of pride, looking at this big guy with eyes full of smugness,

"My baby girl can naturally move! She can even bite the door of the off-road vehicle off in one bite!!!"

"Really?!"

"Want to see?"

"Hmm!!!"

"Hahaha, that's good, I'll let you guys open your eyes!"

As Wu Jingjian opened the disguised cabin door and drilled in, the whole Tyrannosaurus Rex seemed to come alive, starting to shake its head and tail, walking forward, and even opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and let out a roar at the two!!

Naoki Zhongxi opened his eyes wide. If it were in a manga, his eyes would have turned into stars at this time!

The cameraman boy beside him was also very excited, but still managed to control the instinct of his arm, filming this scene.

Other reporters who came together were originally scattered in interviews, but seeing the movement here, they also walked over one after another to watch, and then let out exclamations.

"Really, it's amazing!!!"

If the things in the museum could all be made like this, how many children would it attract!

"Right!"

Wu Jingjian climbed out again, patted the Tyrannosaurus Rex's thigh,

"Her charm is unforgettable!"

"Yes yes~"

The onlookers also nodded one after another to express agreement~

"Alright, let's look at other props!"

After introducing the Tyrannosaurus Rex, Wu Jingjian continued to take a few people to see the Triceratops, Raptor models, etc., and the reporters' shutters didn't stop at all...

Finally, the group came to the director's shed and saw Ma Sai!

"Director Ma Sai! Did you buy the whole island?" "Director Ma Sai, what is the filming progress now?" "Ma Sai San... when will the movie be released?!" "..."

Sure enough, the reporters were asking Ma Sai first, which made Tian Zhongyuzi beside him laugh~

And Ma Sai could only take the topic:

"The whole island was indeed bought, for the sake of sequels later~ As for the filming progress, you can interview the crew... we haven't filmed for long yet~"

"Then..." "May I ask..." "Director Ma Sai..." "...."

The reporters' questions came one after another. After Ma Sai answered a few, he let everyone disperse to interview other crew members.

"Ma Sai San!" At this time, Naoki Zhongxi leaned over, "Sashiburi..."

"Ah... are you Fuji TV's Naoki... Zhongxi?!"

Ma Sai still remembered this face,

"Why did you come over?!"

"The TV station and Shu You Film reached a consensus to make this reporter disclosure into a program... and also explore the mysterious Jurassic Island"

Seeing that Ma Sai still recognized himself, Naoki Zhongxi was instantly happy,

"So I volunteered to come over this time!"

"Ah... so that's it!"

Regarding the specific way of promotion, Ma Sai didn't care about everything, but cooperating with Fuji TV wasn't a bad thing,

"Then you must have a good stroll on the island!"

"By the way, you can also stay at the resort hotel at night, the night on the island is also very interesting!"

"That would be too grateful!"

Just casually greeting and being able to stay at the resort hotel, sure enough, Ma Sai is very generous to people he knows!

Then Naoki Zhongxi started interviewing:

"Ma Sai San, may I ask, are there any difficulties in the filming of 'Jurassic Park'?"

"Difficulties?" Ma Sai scratched his ear and looked at the crew, "If you say difficulties, it's that this filming requires many shots to rely entirely on the actors' imagination..."

"Imagination?"

"Yes, you should have seen many models just now, right?"

"Yes!"

"But in the movie, these models should all be alive, and there are many shots that cannot be filmed in reality, and must be synthesized with special effects later..."

Ma Sai pointed at the actors and said,

"So those actors all need to perform without objects, such as being chased by dinosaurs, etc... this kind of filming is sometimes very difficult..."

"So that's it!"

Naoki Zhongxi had also seen the production of many programs, and some variety shows also need to perform purely to the camera when filming, so he could roughly imagine,

"That's really hard work!"

"Haha, being an actor is hard work in itself~"

Ma Sai pointed to Harrison Ford beside him,

"Like this male lead, the language is not even connected... filming is even more difficult!"

"Hondo?"

"Hmm, you can interview him and see..."

Ma Sai pulled Harrison over to act as a shield, only then did he get a bit of peace.

And at this time, Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao walked over:

"Ma Sai San, these reporters filmed the appearance of the Tyrannosaurus Rex, can this be revealed in advance?!"

"Daijobu, let them report it!"

Only after the Internet era would film producers see confidentiality as more important than life, because they want the audience to have expectations, fearing that if it's exposed, there will be no mystery...

But in this era, movies mainly rely on theater scheduling, and the bigger the fame, the better. As long as the cinema feels your movie can make money, the scheduling will definitely not be small.

"And even if the Tyrannosaurus Rex model is leaked... they don't know what the truly synthesized special effects look like!"

Ma Sai was full of confidence in this,

"That is a special effect screen that will be a hundred times more shocking than the model!"

Xiao Sen Xiaoshen Zhengxiao listened to his boss's words, and couldn't help but look forward to the finished film... even though he was the deputy director, he still didn't know what the synthesized shots looked like!

Because it was a visit day, the crew ended early today, leaving more time for media reporters to interact with the crew.

And while the reporters were all full of interest, at the small airport on Jurassic Island, a private jet had already risen slowly and headed towards Tokyo!

An hour and a half later, Ma Sai pushed open the door of the Rolls-Royce and came to the long-unseen Shu You building.

"Ma Sai San?!"

Hoshika Hana at the front desk was very surprised,

"Aren't you filming a movie? Why did you come today?"

"Haha, got off work early today, so I came to Shu You to have a look!"

Ma Sai smiled and exchanged pleasantries,

"How is it, I haven't been here for so long, has anything changed?"

"Ma Sai San hasn't been here for more than half a month~ Change... shouldn't there be any?"

Hoshika Hana shook her head, and then thought of something,

"Ah, right, a batch of computers was sent before, and they were installed in the computer room next to the editing room!"

"That's good~"

Ma Sai nodded. He came back today just to see this, and then asked again,

"Otomo-san and Shuichi-san are in the office, right?"

"Yes! Shuichi-san is in the Film Association office."

"Good, then you go ahead..."

Saying that, Ma Sai walked towards the elevator... soon, he came to the top floor office!

"Otomo-san!!!"

Seeing the friend whose Mediterranean hairline was getting more and more serious, Ma Sai opened his mouth directly,

"Is your hair falling out again?!!"

"......."

Otomo Yoshimura's originally happy mood was instantly extinguished, and even an angry cross appeared on his forehead,

"Hehehe... yes, Ma Sai San, can this dense hair of yours be shared with me?!"

"Even if I want to, there's no way!"

"Hehehe, it doesn't matter, just shave your hair off, and then make it into a wig!"

"...... Wow, Otomo-san, you are so scary! Is it because your hair fell out that you are in a bad mood?"

"...... If you continue to say that, I will let you see something even scarier!"

Seeing Otomo Yoshimura's hand reaching for the scissors in the pen holder on the desk, Ma Sai stopped complaining,

"Hahaha, Otomo-san, long time no see, just joking..."

"Hehehe~ very funny..."

"Alright alright~" Ma Sai hurriedly changed the topic, "Otomo-san, didn't you say before that Shuichi-san has something to tell me? Specifically what?"

"Hmm... it's about Shuichi-san receiving an invitation to serve in the Ministry of Education..."

Otomo Yoshimura didn't hide it, and said directly,

"Or joining the Social Democratic Party, serving in a party position... he is a bit hesitant, wanting to ask for your opinion."

"So that's it..."

Ma Sai's eyes rolled,

"Then I'll go down and have a chat with him first... then go see how the computer is installed..."

"Then in the evening, let's go have a drink together?"

Since he's in Tokyo for the evening, he doesn't plan to fly back to Kyoto... it doesn't matter if he doesn't see them for one night.

"Good..." Seeing Ma Sai about to get up, Otomo Yoshimura hurriedly said, "Ma Sai San, just make an appointment with Yoshihiko Noda... you should see him too!"

"Good!"

Ma Sai walked out of the office and came to the Tokyo Film Association headquarters on the fourth floor.

This was already a busy headquarters, with several staff members organizing documents, faxing notices... more and more members were joining the Film Association, and it even had a trend of spreading across Nihon...

"Ma Sai San!" "Ma Sai San good..." "..."

Amidst the greetings, Ma Sai came to the president's office and saw Shuichi Ido, who was wearing glasses and burying his head in processing documents.

"Shuichi-san, wearing glasses now? You are becoming more and more like Otomo-san!"

"Haha, Ma Sai San~" Shuichi Ido looked up and saw Ma Sai, "There are many things in the association at the end of the year."

"Very busy?"

"All some complicated things..." Shuichi Ido shook his head and took off his glasses, "Read too many documents, a bit nearsighted..."

Ma Sai sat opposite the desk:

"Can hand it over to Suo-san to help... isn't he the next president?"

"Haha, it's not until next year... I have to do my own work well."

The two laughed for a while, and Shuichi Ido opened his mouth:

"Ma Sai San, contacted the Social Democratic Party quite a bit before... you know about the invitation from Party Leader Doi for me to serve in a position, right? Cultural Commissioner of the Ministry of Education, or propaganda secretary within the party..."

"Hmm, just heard about it."

Ma Sai nodded,

"Then what does Shuichi-san think? Really want to go into politics and be an official?" 【130

"Hmm..."

Yin Tangxiu crossed his fingers, looking somewhat conflicted.

"To say I don't have this thought would be a lie... After all, once you reach that position, the things you do can influence the entire industry, and even more..."

"So, you want to go?"

"But I don't want to give up my career in film... Being in the Film Association at least doesn't mean leaving the entertainment industry... In short, I'm just a bit conflicted!"

"Also... if I become an official, I won't be able to look after Shuyou..."

"..."

Rambling on about the thoughts in his heart, Yin Tangxiu poured out all the conflict that had been building up in his mind, while Naoki Nagayama across from him listened silently the whole time.

Until the very end, when Yin Tangxiu lit a cigarette and started smoking...

Naoki Nagayama looked at Yin Tangxiu for a while, then grinned and laughed:

"Xiuyisang, you're not even forty yet!!!

If you want to be an official, just go be one for a few years!

If you want to continue making movies afterward, you can just come back!!"

Naoki Nagayama looked earnestly at his good friend:

"In any case, we will support you...

And at Shuyou, there will always be a place for Xiuyisang!"

"..."

Yin Tangxiu only felt a warm current surging, and even his tear ducts felt a bit weak... but he tried his best to control it!

"Haha, Naoki-san, why are you suddenly saying such sentimental things..."

Yin Tangxiu waved his hands repeatedly,

"Making it sound like a final farewell..."

"Hahaha, Xiuyisang, who told you to be so hesitant just now... conflicted back and forth..."

Naoki Nagayama mocked,

"I thought you had reached Dayousang's age!"

Just at this moment, a voice came from outside the door:

"What's wrong with my age?!"

The door swung open with a bang, and Dayou Fangcun walked in with a grim expression,

"Naoki-san... it seems you have an opinion about me?!"

"..."

"Absolutely not!!!"

"..."

Dayou Fangcun stared silently at the two of them for a while, then spoke,

"Are you two done talking? If you're done, let's get ready to go have a drink!"

"Okay!" X2

The two in the office nodded immediately; Naoki Nagayama even put the matter of checking the computer to the back of his mind...
