Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 89: Chapter 89 Rest and Work



Nanaya hung up the phone with his junior brother with a heavy heart. He glanced at Lin who was rubbing his waist and shook his head helplessly.

"Ori, do you think I don't know? But some things can't be solved by just talking about them..."

Rin, Luvia, Gawain and other accepted actors were brought directly to London by Nanaya for advance training after completing the audition.

The content of these actor trainings mainly consists of two aspects: one is accent correction, and the other is actor movement guidance.

As a global film, the first language of Goblin Slayer is definitely English.

European and American countries generally require actors to use British accents in Western fantasy-type films with the nature of costume dramas. In their opinion, this will make the film more appealing.

Although most of the actors hired are from Europe and America, there is still the big problem of accent.

After all, these days, except for London, England, the English learned in other countries and regions is not very...pure.

Don't laugh. Even the native British people have a very strong accent when speaking English, which is far from the standard British accent. Otherwise, Beckham's accent problem would not have been criticized all the time.

In addition, all countries other than the Commonwealth learn American English, and the pronunciation of many words is quite different from that of British English.

Therefore, accent correction is definitely necessary.

It's not so difficult for actors from Europe and America, such as Luvia and Gawain, as their accents can be corrected relatively easily; but Japanese actors, such as Rin, suffer a lot.

As we all know, although the English accent is different in each region, if we divide it into major categories, it can be roughly divided into several categories: British English, American English, Indian English, Japanese English and Singaporean English.

The difference between American English and British English is easy to understand, but the last three types of English are basically all about accent.

It is well known that Indians speak terrible English, but few people know that Singaporeans have an accent that is just as hard to understand. Because Singapore, like the United States, is an immigrant country, Chinese, Malay, Tamil and other languages have been mixed with English to create a very unique Singaporean accent.

However, although the accents of Indian English and Singaporean Indian are so heavy that you can't understand what people in these two places are saying, at least you can tell that they are speaking English.

But the Japanese accent makes it almost impossible to tell whether they are speaking English or Japanese.

The reason is that the Japanese have a habit of using the Japanese pronunciation system when reading other languages, rather than the English phonetic symbols.

In addition, many foreign words in Japanese are modified from the original words using the Gokū phonetic notation.

The end result is that English in Japan ends up sounding more like Japanese than English.

It's like when Chinese people say "good morning" in English, they don't say "Good morning" but "dog's sweater".

Of course, this is mainly due to the Japanese people's own habit of speaking English. As long as you are willing to spend time and work hard to overcome it, it can be solved.

But unlike other trained Japanese actors, Rin not only had to correct her English accent but also had to undergo archery movement training.

This is a very painful thing. Although Rin does not need to be as accurate as a real elf archer, how to shoot the arrow in her hand elegantly and handsomely is a skill she must master.

The more heroic elf archer can be said to be one of the important selling points designed by Nanaya for "Goblin Slayer".

Think about Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings", a character who could only be regarded as a tool in the original book. However, because of Orlando Bloom's handsome appearance and the clean and neat skills designed specifically for him, this "little leaf" has become one of the most popular characters in the Lord of the Rings expedition team.

Nanaya once heard that in his previous life, after the release of the first film of "The Lord of the Rings", due to Legolas's rapidly rising popularity, when Peter Jackson was reshooting the scenes in the later stage, a large part of the scenes were of Legola shooting arrows handsomely.

Not to mention that when Peter the Great was making the "Hobbit" trilogy, he deliberately forced in Legolas, a character who did not exist in the original work, and his role was even more than that of the dwarves in the protagonist's dragon-slaying team.

Parroting other people's ideas can be said to be a necessary skill for time travelers. The series itself intends to borrow the popularity of "The Lord of the Rings", and of course the classic and successful character Nanaya must also be borrowed.

Of course, "The Lord of the Rings" sells men, so in order to prevent others from accusing us of plagiarism, we must make a distinction in "Goblin Slayer".

So Nanaya said, we don't sell men, we sell women.

Although Europe and the United States' understanding of beautiful warriors is still at the level of big breasts and big butts, Nanaya, who has witnessed the success of Gal Gadot's version of Wonder Woman, knows very well that breast size is never a problem. As long as it looks handsome in the photos, even a flat chest can win everyone's applause.

Nanaya believes that as long as Rin's archery posture is handsome enough, then body shape is not a problem at all. In Nanaya's imagination, he wants Rin to be able to cause the audience to scream "awsl" every time he draws the bow on the screen.

So after referring to Legolas in the Lord of the Rings series and the action images of elves in other works, Nanaya asked Li Wenshu to design a set of archery and melee actions specifically for Rin.

It's just that these movements designed by Nanaya in pursuit of beauty are rather... inhumane. Basically, Rin has to do all the movements that normal people would never do, such as twisting her waist nearly 180 degrees to shoot arrows.

Although Rin, who majored in acting, had a more flexible body than the average person, she was not a dancer after all. Even though she had practiced Bajiquan when filming Magical Girl Illya, it was just a trick, not to mention that the moves that Nanaya requested this time were much more difficult than those tricks.

So, our Miss Tohsaka Rin has been suffering a lot during this period. Not only does she have to practice various archery movements during the day, but she also has to drag her tired body to correct her accent at night.

And because it was a concentrated special training, Rin didn't even have a day to rest. Such high-intensity training made the girl's fatigue level rise sharply, and the fall just now might not be without this factor.

Both physically and mentally, Rin has reached her limit.

"Hiss - it hurts so much..."

Rin held onto Kaname's waist with one hand, leaning against the wall of the practice room while panting.

Although she didn't sprain her ankle or waist when she fell, she was really exhausted. The training teacher also saw that Lin had reached her limit, so she asked her to sit aside for a while to rest.

"Why is it so tiring for a supporting role like me?" Rin was furious as she watched Luvia taking it easy. "How come nothing happened to you?!"

Whether it was accent training or action training, Luvia was much more relaxed than Rin. Although part of the reason was that Luvia had a good foundation, Rin still felt a little jealous.

"Of course. I'm a priest, not a warrior. I just need to do some basic movement training. Have you ever seen a priest engage in close combat?"

Maybe it was because she saw how much Rin was suffering these past two days, but this time Luvia didn't speak to Rin in a sarcastic tone.

"Well, just be patient. After all, this is necessary for playing your role." Luvia shook her head. Probably because she saw Rin suffering in the past two days, the sarcasm in her tone was rarely reduced.

After finishing his call with Ori, Nanaya went forward to carefully check on Rin's condition. He asked his junior schoolmate with concern, "Were you injured just now?"

"Um...it's okay, I guess I'm not hurt."

Rin held her waist and looked at her predecessor pitifully.

Nanaya felt a little scared when he was looked at by Rin. He smiled awkwardly and explained: "After all, your moves are the most difficult among all the protagonists. It is natural that you have to work harder..."

"Senior, you are such a heartless person, I hate you so much..."

Rin complained to Nanaya angrily, but what he said sounded a little off.

"Ahem, don't say something that could easily lead to misunderstanding. I've already discussed this with the teacher, and I'll give you half a day off today." Nanaya coughed lightly, "Just sit down and rest a bit."

"Okay, thank you, Senior."

Rin didn't act pretentiously. She was really exhausted these past few days. Out of her sense of responsibility as an actress, the girl had been holding on, but now that she had been allowed to rest, she relaxed completely.

"If you're fine, go take a shower. You don't have to train next anyway."

"Okay." Rin nodded, and after she recovered a little, she stood up with the help of the wall.

There was a shower room in the training room, and the girl dragged her tired body in and took a quick shower.

When Rin came out, he found Nanaya sitting against the wall and making a phone call.

Nanaya put away his phone and explained to Rin who had just finished taking a shower, "I just talked to your accent teacher. You don't have to attend accent training at night for the next period of time."

"What about the accent?" Rin frowned.

"Wait until your part is finished before training." Nanaya said his solution, "Then do the dubbing in post-production."

"sorry..."

Rin knew very well that although this would make his life easier, the cost for the entire crew would definitely increase.

After all, the cost of training one person and training many people are not at the same level.

In fact, Nanaya also has the option of inviting a professional British actor to dub Rin. After all, the dubbing will be done in post-production, so it is not so important whether the voice is the original one.

It's just that Nanaya has some concerns about whether she can find a voice actor with the same style as Rin. Plus, Rin has already put in so much effort, it would be too cruel to say that to her directly.

"I'm sorry, Senior. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."

Rin followed Nanaya's example and sat next to his senior.

Nanaya didn't say anything, but just patted Rin's shoulder gently to show encouragement; Tohsaka Rin was too tired to say anything, and the two of them just sat there quietly watching Luvia and others train.

After a few minutes, Nanaya heard calm breathing sounds coming from beside him.

Tohsaka Rin has fallen asleep.

"You've worked hard during this period, take a good rest."

Nanaya carefully asked the staff to borrow a blanket to cover the girl so that she could have a good sleep. He quietly left the practice room because he had to take a flight to New Zealand to continue his work in the evening.

"Take care of her."

Before leaving, Nanaya gave Luvia some instructions.

"Don't worry, Senior. Leave this bitch to me."

Luvia assured him carelessly, but the look she gave the sleeping Rin made it seem like "Such a fun toy can't be broken all at once."

[There shouldn't be any problem, right?]

While sitting in the taxi going to the airport, Nanaya thought a little uneasy.
