In response, Du Lin just slowly said:
"You should know that the previously filmed "Fate Zero" has been officially released, right?"
"Well, I barely managed to finish the last shot before I left with the army."
Deputy Captain Liya replied.
Seeing this, Du Lin nodded and said:
"Fate Zero was a huge success, so I'm planning to shoot the sequel to the Fate series, Fate Stay Night, and I want you two to play the main roles."
"Main characters? Us?"
After hearing what Du Lin said, both Wycliffe and Leah were stunned. They obviously didn't expect Du Lin to say such a thing.
Then, the two of them immediately asked:
"But I've already played Saber in FateZero? Why do you want me to play in the sequel?"
"Right. And why include me? I can't act."
In response to Leah and Wycliffe's confusion, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"In fact, in Fate Stay Night, the Heroic Spirit Saber is Vice Captain Lia, who you played before, Altria. As for Knight Commander Wycliffe, I think you are very suitable to play the Archer Servant. Even if you have never performed before, I think you just need to play your true self."
"this… "
Unexpectedly, Du Lin would say this, and Wycliffe and Leah immediately showed subtle expressions.
After all, Leah had acted out the situation once, so she quickly accepted the reality, but Wycliffe apparently took a long time to come to his senses, and finally agreed to Du Lin's request.
After all, with the movie industry so popular, everyone actually has a dream of becoming an actor, even the seemingly strong-willed Knight Wycliffe.
Therefore, after confirming the specific filming work, Du Lin immediately took Helena away from the scene.
"It's finally done. Let's go and visit your house."
In response to Du Lin's remarks, Helena was stunned for a moment before replying:
"You...you want to go to my house?"
"Otherwise, didn't you say you wanted to go home and have a look?"
"this… "
Seeing Helena hesitate, Du Lin didn't say anything else, but just waited patiently.
After a long while, Helena finally answered:
"Well, I'm still not ready. After all, I haven't been home for a long time. Why don't I wait for me to get ready and go later?"
"Whatever you want."
Not being too obsessed with the matter, Du Lin nodded and took Helen to Ludasas.
After meeting up with the five daughters of Rondo's manager, he immediately activated the teleportation array and headed to the southern border.
At this point, the preparations are completely ready, and the filming of "The Quintessential Quintuplets" and other films can finally officially begin!
Chapter 375: "Five Equal Divisions" audition completed!
Chapter 375
Mid-March had just passed, and everyone at Edward Studios was busy again.
First was "The Quintessential Quintuplets", for which the cast had already been confirmed. After Do Lin found the five key female protagonists, the other roles were quickly confirmed through auditions.
It turns out that there is no shortage of people who are good at performing in this world.
But what surprised Du Lin was that the actor who played the protagonist Fuutarou Uesugi was an adventurer named Joseph.
It seemed that he just saw the audition notice while on an adventure with his friends, so he came to try it out with a fluke mentality, but he didn't expect to be directly recruited by Du Lin to be the protagonist of the movie.
The reason for recruiting him was that Du Lin saw in him a temperament very similar to that of the protagonist of "The Quintessence", poor but with a fighting spirit. Although he was a little older, he had more of a nerd feel.
This surprised Joseph very much, and he was still a little dazed until the admission letter was sent to him.
At the same time, the adventurer Sam who was traveling with him was also recruited into the crew, but he only played a supporting role in the movie. Nevertheless, judging from his excited appearance, he must be very satisfied with it.
"Ahem, this round of auditions is officially complete. The filming will be in the afternoon, and the main filming location will be at the newly opened Imperial Comprehensive College in Northrick. Don't forget."
After saying this, Du Lin left the scene immediately without paying attention to the surprise of Joseph and other performers.
"Wow, Lao Yue, you actually got the script for the protagonist, that's amazing!"
Joseph himself was still in a state of confusion about Sam's excitement. Looking back, he was just an ordinary ticket seller in a theater troupe, living a muddled life without knowing the meaning of life.
Later, because of the movie "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World", he chose to become an adventurer, and formed an adventurer team with Sam whom he met in the guild. They lived a busy but interesting and exciting life in the peaceful land of the South.
It can be said that he never thought that he would eventually receive an acceptance letter for the leading role in a movie from director Du Lin, who changed his life.
This huge joy had completely overwhelmed his mind, leaving him standing there like a puppet, motionless.
At the same time, just as the people who had finished the audition were about to leave, five girls who looked almost identical but were dressed differently walked out of a room in the distance.
Several people seemed to be looking at the actors who had passed the audition curiously. When they saw Sam holding the script of the leading role, they immediately surrounded him and looked at him curiously.
“Are you the protagonist of this movie?”
Faced with the curious questions of the five beautiful girls, Joseph stood there in a daze for a long time before he quickly retreated in fear and hid behind Sam.
"You... who are you?"
Seeing Joseph's frightened look, the five sisters of the Dutch family smiled and said:
“We are the heroines of the movie.”
"You? All of you?"
After hearing these words, Joseph seemed to remember something and quickly opened the script in his hand.
The moment he saw the contents of the script, he finally realized the situation and stood there in surprise and confusion.
…
After finishing the audition of the actors for "The Quintessence", Du Lin immediately came to the inside of the tavern.
At this time, the crew of the second part of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" and the crew of "Fate Stay Night" are already ready.
The former is led by Zat, and almost all the previous main actors have been gathered. The only one left is Dahlia, the actor who plays Darkness, who is said to be still imprisoned in the Duke of the South's mansion. However, Durin has already contacted the Duke of the South, and it is expected that she will be released after a while.
The latter was basically ready. Chase quickly auditioned the Imperial Knights who had just returned and selected suitable actors from them. With Du Lin's recommendation and those recurring roles, the crew was quickly set up.
Since it was so difficult to find an actor to play the role of Berserker, Chase finally turned to Durin for help. With the help of Elsa, the president of the Northern Adventurers' Guild, he found a huge troll.
Under the supervision of several undead in the tavern, the troll behaved very docilely. It seemed that it knew very well the price of resistance.
And there is no doubt that after both parties were almost ready, Du Lin decisively announced:
"The schedule this time is not rushed. Due to the request of His Majesty the King, 'The Quintessence' only needs to be screened in mid-June when the first batch of Imperial Comprehensive Colleges are fully completed and the first enrollment begins, so we still have three months to prepare."
"For this purpose, I have discussed it with Gebren of the Imperial Magic Academy. During this period, they will produce the extra content of Steins;Gate and broadcast it on TV together with the extra content of Kara no Kyoukai. After so long of oppression, we can finally fight a prosperous battle. Let's enjoy this relaxing time."
“… .”
Although Du Lin spoke passionately, it was clear that the people at the scene were not really fooled by him.
After all, it seems that there are three months from March to June for filming, but it is still a big squeeze.
Filmmaking is a physically strenuous job, and every participant is almost paralyzed by the end of it.
If Du Lin had not been generous enough in distributing money in the past, many people in the crew would have collapsed long ago.
At present, shooting three films in three months seems to be no big problem, but the fatigue accumulated from the previous high-intensity work has not been fully recovered. After a half-month break, it is time to shoot a new movie. Even a hard-working person like Zat can no longer bear it.
But in the final analysis, the exhaustion from making a movie is ultimately no match for the tremendous sense of accomplishment that comes from creating a movie and after it’s released.
Therefore, even though they were already tired enough to want to go back and rest, everyone present still nodded vigorously, officially announcing the resumption of filming.
At the same time, when summer came, various changes began to take place throughout the human empire, and even in the neighboring Orc Kingdom.
These changes may be good or bad, but the source of their changes is undoubtedly the film that has taken root within the empire.
The wheel of time officially began to turn under the prying of the movie, a not-so-thick but extremely solid stick.
Chapter 376: Filming of "Fate Stay Night"!
Chapter 376
The filming of the movies officially began. "Fate Stay Night", "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" Season 2 and "The Quintessential Quintuplets" were filmed in turn. Du Lin once again lived a hard life of working overtime day and night.
The only thing to be thankful for is that the movie "The Quintessential Quintuplets" was not difficult to shoot because the main plot only revolves around the daily interactions between the male protagonist and the five female protagonists, and there are no complicated fighting scenes.
Therefore, Du Lin immediately stopped everyone after completing the daily shooting according to the schedule.
"Du... Director Du Lin... what happened?"
Joseph, who played the male lead, looked over nervously. He had been very serious during the filming these days, fearing that he would make any mistakes. This showed how much he valued this movie.
In response, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"Let's call it a day today and continue filming tomorrow. Also, Joseph, your acting skills are pretty good. Did you learn any special skills?"
After hearing Du Lin's performance, Joseph immediately scratched his head in embarrassment.
Although he would rehearse until the early hours of the morning every night, striving to perform every action in the script to perfection, he was not complacent about it, and even felt that this level could not meet Du Lin's expectations at all.
Seeing the other party's energetic look, Du Lin just smiled and turned away.
On the other hand, the five female leads were naturally a little disappointed when they saw that Director Du Lin only praised Joseph.
But they also knew that Joseph's acting skills were quite good. His excellent talent plus a lot of hard work made them unable to catch up even though they were the daughters of the troupe manager and had received professional training since childhood.
Therefore, several girls secretly made up their minds to hone their acting skills and surpass each other.
In a sense, this has established a kind of healthy competition, which can make the performance of a play better and more natural.
This was naturally a pleasant surprise for Du Lin.
…
After finishing the filming of "The Quintessence of Quintessence", Du Lin immediately rushed to the set of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World".
Compared to "The Quintessential Quintuplets", the shooting difficulty of the second part of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World" is naturally on a higher level. Whether it is the exaggerated performances of the actors or the special effects that need to be released for the performance effect, they are far beyond the level that ordinary people can handle.
Fortunately, Du Lin has shot many films so far and has accumulated a wealth of experience, otherwise he might have found it difficult to handle this film.
After he arrived, Vanir, who was talking about something on the set in the distance, immediately looked over and said with a fanatical smile:
"Oh, Director Du Lin, you are finally here. Thank you so much for giving me this opportunity to make a movie. You know, I have always wanted to experience it myself for a long time..."
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Having long been familiar with Viscount Barnil's speaking style, Du Lin simply glanced at the scene calmly and asked in confusion:
"Are all the people here? Why do I feel like there are some people missing?"
In response to Du Lin's speech, Helena in the distance immediately replied:
"I know, I know. Just now, Aya was so scared when she saw the giant slime brought by Mr. Lawrence that she ran away on the spot. Then, in order to chase her, Zat accidentally released all the other monsters that Mr. Lawrence had locked in the cage. Now everyone is helping to catch the monsters."
"ah?"
Du Lin was stunned as he didn't expect such chaos to happen just when he wasn't paying attention for a while.
In the distance, Lawrence, who had not been seen for a long time, also showed an embarrassed expression. He had been providing monsters for filming to Edward Studios as usual, but because he was too well prepared, it directly caused a chain reaction.
If it is not dealt with quickly, Northrick will soon have to issue an emergency evacuation notice, and he will have to pay a large amount of gold coins as compensation.
"This is really..."
Durin sighed helplessly, and just when he was about to find a magic spell that he could use, the figure of Leticia suddenly appeared in the distance.
"What's going on? Where did these little guys come from?"
As she spoke, Leticia pointed at the groups of monsters behind her. All the monsters seemed to feel her pressure and did not dare to move.
In response, Du Lin and Lawrence immediately showed surprised expressions. They didn't expect that the chaos they thought would happen would be resolved like this.
In short, after the chaos was resolved, several people quickly brought back Aya who was hiding in the rice bag in the tavern. Together with Daria who was just released on bail from the Duke's Mansion, the filming finally officially began.
Since the filming of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World" has been conducted many times, everyone was able to complete the work with ease this time.
