However, if it was an ordinary person who said this, the people in the tavern might not care too much. But when the person who said this is the king of the human empire, the current ruler of the empire, no one can simply ignore it, especially when everyone can feel the determination of His Majesty the King.
On the other side, Du Lin was shocked and said quickly:
"By the way, Your Majesty, what does your plan to build an academy have to do with me making a movie?"
In response to Durin's confusion, King Hubbard said:
"Regarding many things about building the academy, I actually had the idea a long time ago, but I never knew how to realize it until your movie gave me inspiration. So, this time, even if many people oppose it and it will cause a huge impact, I will definitely push it forward!"
"At the same time, because the Imperial Magic Academy has always occupied the main channel in publicity, most people see the academy as a place to learn magic, and most people don't even understand why ordinary people without magical talent have to go to school. Therefore, in order to ensure that after the academy is built, the people are willing to take the initiative to go to the academy to study, and to ensure that enough young people understand and realize the significance of attending classes at the academy, I hope that you, Du Lin, can shoot a movie related to studying at the academy to promote it."
“Although the previous Steins;Gate has done a good job in this regard, describing a future where ordinary people can also participate in research, at least for now, I still hope to give young people a stronger motivation to take the initiative to join the academy.”
"I see."
Hearing King Hubbard's words, Durin's eyes lit up and he nodded.
It can be said that he was extremely impressed by the King's forward-thinking ideas. After all, before the other party said all this, he himself had not yet realized so many things.
Du Lin could only sigh that although the other party was a king, his eyes were always on the grassroots of the country. He was a well-deserved wise king.
Therefore, after realizing His Majesty the King's expectations for this new movie, Du Lin quickly began to think and nodded:
“I think I can make a movie like this.”
"Really?"
Upon hearing Durin's words, King Hubbard immediately showed an expression of surprise.
After all, he didn't have high expectations for this before he came, because he felt that the movies that Du Lin had shot in the past were all very distinctive, either with intense battles or full of suspense.
He originally thought that the other party would not be able to accept the condition of restricting his thinking by studying in the academy.
Therefore, King Hubbard originally planned to borrow the facilities for filming movies, find someone to write the script, and carry out publicity.
At this moment, after hearing that Durin was willing to take on this task, King Hubbard suddenly felt a little happy. After all, he trusted Durin's ability very much and felt that the other party would be able to make a movie beyond his imagination.
On the other side, after knowing King Hubbard's conditions, Du Lin immediately said:
"Wait for me, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, he turned around and ran to the second floor of the tavern in the confused gazes of everyone.
Seeing this, everyone had no choice but to calm down and wait. What surprised King Hubbard was that even though the people in the tavern knew that he was the king, they still did not show too much awe and just behaved as they should. Only Zat and Winry, two people who could be considered normal people, seemed a lot more restrained.
Aya even sneaked over and asked the King how many gold coins he could earn in a day, but Zat, who was almost fainted from anger, dragged her away on the spot.
In short, after about two hours, Du Lin finally hurried down from the second floor.
"Huh, my writing speed is really getting faster and faster."
As he spoke, Du Lin placed a stack of papers on the table.
In response to this, King Hubbard, who was almost dragged by Beldia to drink, quickly came to his senses and looked at the thick stack of papers on the table with anticipation.
“Is this the script for the new movie?”
"That's right."
"… "
After receiving Durin's affirmative answer, King Hubbard quickly picked up the script on the table and opened the first page which was written in clear handwriting.
"The Quintessential Quintuplets? Is this a movie about studying at the academy?"
"Well, although it may not be completely relevant, I think it should meet your requirements. At least I believe that many young people will have a strong interest in the college after reading it, probably..."
Hearing that Durin was becoming less and less confident as he spoke, King Hubbard became even more excited, so he quickly opened the script in front of him and began to read it formally.
Chapter 358: His Majesty the King’s comments on the Quintessence!
Chapter 358
Regarding the anime "The Quintessential Quintuplets", Du Lin was very fond of it before he traveled through time.
One reason is that the character creation is very excellent, and every character in the story is quite likable.
Secondly, among many similar love and stock trading anime, "The Quintessential Quintuplets" is one of the few that was able to be successfully completed without causing much controversy.
Although many people are still dissatisfied with the final ending, at least no one has any disputes about the plot itself. This is enough to prove that the author of "The Quintessential Quintuplets" has done a great job in controlling the plot.
Even Du Lin himself, as a former fan of Miku and later Nino, finally accepted this ending and acknowledged the choice of the original protagonist Uesugi Fuutarou.
So when King Hubbard asked him to create a film related to his studies at the Academy, this work immediately came to his mind.
Even though in a sense, "The Quintessential Quintuplets" may not meet the other party's requirements at all, Du Lin feels that everything must be tried, and maybe it will succeed.
Of course, he was also prepared to reconsider his decision to shoot another film if His Majesty the King did not agree.
On the other hand, King Hubbard opened the script and quickly began to read it. As an old man in his sixties, he did not have any reservations at all about reading this kind of youth romance work. Instead, he kept nodding as he read.
After a long while, when he finally turned to the last page of the script, the familiar scene appeared again.
"What's next?"
In response to King Hubbard's words, Du Lin just smiled awkwardly:
"The script is really too long. If we insist on filming it, it may have to be divided into several seasons, so I only wrote the script for the first part. What do you think?"
"I see… "
After getting Durin's answer, King Hubbard pondered for a moment and began to recall the script of the movie he had just watched.
Many details of the script of "The Quintessential Quintuplets" written by Du Lin have been localized by him. Not only has the worldview been set in a world close to this world, but the identities of the main characters have also been processed by him to be closer to the concepts of the people in this world.
Therefore, King Hubbard easily accepted many of the settings in the story and was attracted by the emotional development between the protagonists in the story.
It turns out that interesting stories are just as interesting no matter what world they are set in.
Even an old man like King Hubbard was deeply immersed in the plot of this movie and did not come back to his senses until after it was over.
Therefore, after reviewing the entire script and confirming the wonderful plot, King Hubbard nodded and said:
"To be honest, I didn't expect you to write such a story."
"Haha, you mean to focus on the romance between the protagonists?"
King Hubbard smiled and replied to Durin's question, which was a knowing question.
"That's right, Baron Durin. I originally thought that you were better at writing imaginative stories and liked complicated and conflicting plots. But I didn't expect that you were also so good at writing stories that portrayed the emotions of the characters."
"I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it..."
Du Lin did not expect to receive such high praise from the other party. He quickly waved his hands. After all, only he knew where his story came from.
Therefore, he quickly changed the subject:
"By the way, Your Majesty, are you satisfied with this film?"
"To be honest, if you look at the surface of The Quintessential Quintuplets, it doesn't meet my requirements. After all, the story focuses too much on the emotional development between the characters, and doesn't focus on the atmosphere of academy learning that I need. But on the other hand, this film is indeed the most suitable film to promote academy and popularize what academy is to the public."
"oh?"
Hearing King Hubbard's words, Du Lin was slightly surprised. After all, he himself had no idea at the beginning and thought that the movie might not meet the requirements. He did not expect that it would receive such an evaluation in the end.
On the other side, King Hubbard sorted out his words and spoke with a little embarrassment:
"To be honest, I spent my youth on the battlefield. When I was born, the conflict between the Orc Kingdom and the Human Empire was much more acute than it is now. So I hardly experienced youth, lacked interactions with young girls, and didn't know what... ahem, love was."
"Later, when the Human Empire finally completely defeated the Orc Kingdom and won a comprehensive victory in all fields, I was already middle-aged and had no extra time, so I immediately put all my energy into stabilizing the domestic political situation and adjusting the balance of forces. Although I met my wife at that time, I didn't manage our relationship at all. Fortunately, she was very considerate of me, so... ahem, in short, I like this movie very much. It made me feel the romance of young people for the first time in a long time. It was as if I had been given another chance and returned to my youth..."
"Of course, this is not the only reason why I chose it. In my opinion, one of the important functions of the academy is learning, but meeting the opposite sex in the academy and learning to get along with them is even more important. I didn't have this opportunity when I was young, and I don't know how to express my love to my wife when I'm old. So I don't want the young people of the empire to be like me. They should have this opportunity to meet more people, learn more things, and see a more brilliant world."
"And what I admire most is the protagonist of this story. Mr. Fuutarou did not let things go despite his poor family conditions. Instead, he chose to use learning as a sword to attack his fate. This is exactly the character and spirit that contemporary young people should have. After all, the human empire back then was established with the struggle and passion of their ancestors when conditions were inferior to those of its neighbors. Even if the young generation today does not have a talent for magic, they should strengthen their minds and learn more knowledge. After all, humans cannot always rely on magicians to open up the future."
"After considering various factors, I think that 'The Quintessential Quintuplets' is very suitable as a promotional film for the Imperial College. What do you think, Director Du Lin? It should be okay, right?"
"… "
After hearing King Hubbard's series of speeches, everyone in the tavern was completely shocked.
Even General Wilhelm standing by did not expect that his monarch and old friend could see so much from a movie script and express such deep emotion.
Only Du Lin nodded heavily after listening to King Hubbard's speech and said with a smile:
"Your Majesty, you are indeed worthy of being a king. Don't worry, I will definitely make this movie well!"
Chapter 359 A series of new shooting plans!
Chapter 359
The Spring Festival Film Festival is completely over.
The two movies "Fate Zero" and "Steins;Gate" have once again refreshed people's perception of movies and created new records in the history of movie box office.
While people were discussing the two completely different endings of the two movies, they also returned to their original lives and looked forward to the arrival of the next new movie.
However, although all this seems to be over, in fact, it is far from over.
In a sense, the many impacts brought by the film have just begun.
…
Edward Studios.
After King Hubbard left, Durling immediately called together everyone in the studio to discuss preparations for the new film.
In addition to the people who were already in the tavern, he also specially called Chase, who had already gone home with his family to rest.
At this moment, facing the confused looks of the crowd, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"Although the Spring Festival Film Festival has just ended, the work of our Edward Studios is endless. I think I should tell you about the upcoming schedule."
"Schedule plan?"
Hearing Du Lin's words, everyone was slightly surprised, but they did not react too much. After all, they had worked here for a long time and had long been accustomed to this level of exploitation.
On the other side, Du Lin immediately said:
"Due to the request of His Majesty the King, we at Edward Studios will produce a new film, The Quintessential Quintuplets. Cast recruitment and film production will begin in the next few days. In addition, the specific setting collections of several completed films, Fate Zero and Steins;Gate, will also be officially released later."
"Also, the stories of Kara no Kyoukai and Steins;Gate are not actually over yet. Both films have follow-up content, but I am not considering making movies specifically for them. Instead, I will show them on TV after they are completed. Also, considering the special requests of some customers before, this time we can try to sell original imaging crystals for collection and commemoration. But in any case, the follow-up filming of these two films should also be put on the agenda."
"Finally, about the already completed "Fate Zero". Although "Fate Zero" has been completed, Fate is a large series, and the follow-up "Fate Stay Night" has also released a statement, so I plan to let you, Chase, continue to be responsible for the filming of "Fate Stay Night". Is there a problem?"
After hearing Du Lin's words, before everyone had time to be surprised, Chase nodded instinctively.
The days of making movies in Edward Studios were like a restart of his life for him, and his originally cooled desires were realized again in the process of making movies.
This dreamlike thing made it impossible for him to refuse Du Lin's words. Even if it cost him everything, he would definitely shoot "Fate Stay Night" and strive to make it better than "Fate Zero".
Except for Chase, everyone else finally realized Du Lin's almost full schedule.
Although they all complained, no one was actually rejecting it, of course, except Aya who really wanted to escape.
Therefore, after confirming everyone's attitude, Du Lin quickly nodded.
At this moment, Zat in the distance suddenly spoke:
"Du Lin, when will the second season of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Wonderful World" be filmed? Customers often asked me this before, and I didn't know how to answer. In fact, I am also looking forward to the following plot..."
"Oh, if you hadn't told me, I would have almost forgotten."
Du Lin would certainly not forget this first movie he shot after traveling through time, so he quickly said:
"The next film, 'The Quintessential Quintuplets', is a film that can be completed in town anyway, so we can shoot it together. I'll make the arrangements when the time comes."
"Du Lin, are you going to take the photo yourself?"
"certainly."
Hearing Durin's words, Zat and Helena immediately showed joyful expressions. After all, Durin did not personally participate in the TV version of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World", which made them very regretful. Aya, on the other hand, fell aside dejectedly, seeming to be very desperate about the job she was about to face.
But in short, after the next work was determined, Edward Studios was running at full capacity again, and everyone started working quickly after understanding what they had to do.
This tavern, which has been busy since its inception, has once again entered into its familiar rhythm. At the same time, the changes that movies have brought to the world are also more evident.
…
On this day, an unusual scene appeared in the Duke of the Southern Territory's mansion.
When Daphne and her female guard were basking in the sun in the yard and wondering when they would have the chance to run out of the mansion to play with Durin, an astonishing destructive force suddenly came from the direction of the mansion hall.
For this reason, Daphne was frightened and hurried over with her guards, but when they arrived at the scene, they saw a figure that surprised them.
