Even a group of elementary school students like Nobita and others can make a pretty good movie.
By pretty good, he means the plot is logical, and the costumes, props, and other preparations are well-done.
Plus, everyone's acting is enthusiastic, and with the help of Doraemon's gadgets… such a movie would be considered a high-quality production.
In the Hunter x Hunter world of the 1980s, not to mention in a place like Meteor City, which is almost cut off from the rest of the world… being able to produce a high-quality movie like this would definitely be very popular with the kids in the city.
"If the filming equipment and such are not a problem…"
Chrollo thought for a moment: "Then the costumes and some masks…"
"I'll take care of all that."
Luke agreed again.
"Then I have no problem."
With this assurance, Chrollo immediately started writing rapidly on the paper.
His thoughts were clear, inspiration flowed like a spring, and his pen moved as if guided by the gods.
And as he wrote, he explained to the others: "We showed the kids in Meteor City the Clean-Up Rangers movie before, and based on their reaction, they really like this kind of film."
"Even if they can accept other types of movies, with Clean-Up Rangers as a precedent, they will definitely prefer this kind of work."
"So I think our movie can also be in the superhero team genre…"
Uvogin, Phinks, and the others kept nodding enthusiastically as they listened.
They didn't understand much about equipment or genres. But they knew that if it were a project similar to Clean-Up Rangers, they would absolutely support it wholeheartedly.
Because… Clean-Up Rangers has a lot of characters!
Not to mention, just the main team itself consists of seven people: four men and three women.
That perfectly corresponds to the seven colors: red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple.
Plus, with Luke's request for an inventor character and some villains… It's more than enough for their current group!
"Since everyone agrees, let's use the superhero team theme as the basis for our production…"
After everyone agreed, and Luke nodded, Chrollo circled the words superhero team on the paper.
Once the story type was decided, they moved on to the general setting and framework.
"We have to consider the unique environment of Meteor City, so we can't set the story in a big city."
"It can be placed in an isolated forest, or some kind of ruins…"
At the beginning of Hunter x Hunter, there's a line that says: "Unknown creatures, hidden treasures, unexplored frontiers, and mysteries, all of them, by the power of the word unknown, lure countless people into becoming its captives… And such people are called Hunters."
There are many unknown civilization ruins and magical places in this world.
This setting wouldn't seem out of place, and the children in Meteor City would understand it.
After Chrollo set a good example and determined the general direction, everyone eagerly offered their opinions and suggestions.
The entire room became bustling and lively.
So many people crowded together, yet it didn't feel cramped or stuffy; instead, it felt vibrant and exciting.
Finally, after discussing all morning, and with some insightful comments from Luke, the basic framework of the story was finalized.
[In this world, there exists a sacred mountain, inhabited by all kinds of beasts and humans.]
[Within this sacred mountain, beasts and humans lived in harmony, coexisting peacefully and happily.]
[Until one day, an ambitious band of thieves shattered this peace.]
[This evil band of thieves had heard of the legendary great treasure hidden within the sacred mountain.]
[To obtain it, they repeatedly unleashed evil beast-men created through their bio-technology.]
[To protect the sacred mountain and everyone's way of life, a reclusive inventor used his inventions to grant the power of the beasts to brave warriors willing to stand and fight.]
[These warriors, each gaining the strength of different beasts, banded together as a team to battle against the evil band of thieves in a series of clashes. The team's name was…]
"Let's call it savage beast rangers!"
At that key moment, Uvogin leapt to his feet, spittle flying everywhere as he shouted excitedly.
"I want to be the tiger warrior, the lion warrior, the elephant warrior…"
Everyone ignored the fool.
"To protect their home and way of life, that's a great premise!"
Pakunoda praised.
"And using the power of various animals, it sounds very interesting!"
Sheila said with a gentle smile.
"Yes, yes, there are so many kinds of animals, we can use the power of many different animals!"
Sarasa nodded vigorously.
"That's right, with so many animals, we can choose the strongest combinations!"
Franklin agreed.
"Those that fly in the sky, those that run on the ground, those that swim in the sea…"
Feitan counted on his fingers.
"Many powerful and majestic animals are familiar to the children of Meteor City, and they all have their own preferences."
Nobunaga sounded quite enthusiastic.
"They must have their favorite animals… So they will definitely like our movie!"
Phinks grinned and waved his fist excitedly.
"They'll definitely love it."
Feitan added in a low voice.
"Hmm."
That was Machi; she only gave a light nod to show her agreement.
"I think that's a good idea."
Luke gave his final approval.
"Then it's settled."
A pleased smile appeared on Chrollo's face; he was very confident that this project would be a success, and even Father Lisores would support it.
After all, the theme of this project is about protecting their home.
And Meteor City is currently being harassed by some evil people from outside.
This is a very timely and relevant project, and Father Lisores would certainly be very pleased to know about it.
"So the plot outline is roughly decided…"
Chrollo wrote a few more things on his notepad, but finally, he stopped at the name section.
"Savage beast rangers? It sounds powerful, but…"
He muttered the name that Uvogin had suggested.
It sounded powerful, but it seemed too muscular.
The others started brainstorming: "How about calling it the animal squad, since they are all animals!"
"The story takes place in the sacred mountain, so how about calling it the divine beast squad?"
"Divine beasts squad, yeah, that's good. I want to be King Kong, the strongest divine beast…"
"Uvogin, shut up!"
Everyone was annoyed by Uvogin's nonsense, and Nobunaga couldn't help but shout at him.
"Just calling it animal squad is too simplistic and doesn't encompass other types of animals; it seems too narrow in scope…"
Luke spoke slowly. "And simply naming it after animals sounds rather ordinary."
"So…"
Luke raised his head, and everyone looked at him.
Everyone else remained silent while he spoke.
Even the boisterous Uvogin shut his mouth as soon as Luke started talking.
"How about the Hundred Beasts Squad?"
Luke looked around and finally suggested this name with a smile.
"Hundred Beasts Squad?"
Chrollo's eyes lit up. "It implies a wide range of animals, and also has the meaning of king of all beasts…"
"That's great!"
Chrollo exclaimed: "Then it will be the Hundred Beasts Squad!"
Chrollo agreed with everything Luke suggested.
Since the two leaders liked the name, the others naturally had no objections.
They all agreed to use this name.
Well, except for one big guy who wanted to call it savage beast rangers, but eventually gave in to the majority.
"Very good, then we'll call it the hundred beasts squad!"
Chrollo wrote it down quickly. "Besides the name of the group, we also need to decide on a general name for the members."
For example, Clean-Up Rangers is the group name, and the members, besides their individual names like red, blue, and green, are collectively called sweepers.
In the Clean-Up Rangers, sweepers are their official name.
And if they're called the hundred beasts squad…
"Let's call it beast kings."
Luke didn't use the original name Gorenger, but instead went with Beast Kings.
"Hundred Beasts Squad… Beast Kings?"
The others kept repeating the name, and the more they thought about it, the more they liked it.
So…
"Then it will be officially decided, we will use those two!"
Chrollo's pen struck decisively.
This became the very first official project of their team!
The first step is always the hardest, but once taken, with everyone's joint effort, success is bound to follow!
Everyone looked at Chrollo with shining eyes, filled with unwavering belief in their bright future.
Just as everyone was excited, taking that first step to rewrite their future…
Elsewhere, in the ruins… amidst the piles of garbage in Meteor City…
A black van was parked on the road.
The shiny black paint and license plate clearly showed that this wasn't a vehicle from inside the Meteor City.
Even the elders of Meteor City wouldn't drive such a car here.
It was obviously from outside.
Especially when a man with a tattoo on his arm got out of the car and handed it over to someone who was already waiting there.
Their attire clearly showed they were from the outside world.
And their purpose for infiltrating Meteor City…
The man who received the car saw three children inside, their hands and feet tied with ropes, and hoods over their heads. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction.
He pressed the accelerator and drove away.
No one knew where he was taking those three children.
