In the evening, after announcing the end of work, Du Lin immediately used the teleportation array to leave Northrick and headed to Alkans in the east again.
Under the cover of night, the crew of "Fate Stay Night" is still working overtime without stopping. This is because the shooting difficulty of the Fate series is quite high, and also because most of the plot of "Fate Stay Night" takes place at night.
Du Lin immediately found Chase, who was recording things and directing the actors to their positions.
"Director Du Lin, are you here?"
Seeing Du Lin, Chase smiled slowly. It was obvious that he was very satisfied with the progress of the shooting and there were no problems during the process.
In response, Du Lin did not answer, but just looked into the distance.
At this time, "Fate Stay Night" is filming the first battle between heroic spirits. Knight Wycliffe in a red coat plays Archer in the movie, and another knight in a blue tights plays Lancer.
The battle between the two was very smooth, with almost no drag or problems.
One reason is that Captain Wycliffe and the knight who plays Lancer are very powerful, and the other is that Chase's directing ability has improved by leaps and bounds after finishing the filming of "Fate Zero".
Of course, in reality, Knight Commander Wycliffe is much stronger than the knight who plays Lancer, so it is quite difficult for him to appear to be at a disadvantage. During this period, he even almost hit too hard several times and knocked Lancer away.
Other than that, the other party had almost no problems in playing Archer, which once again proved how sharp Durin's eye for people was.
After the shooting, Chase suddenly said to Du Lin in confusion:
"Director Du Lin, is this all the content about the script of "Fate Stay Night"? Why do I feel like there are still many things that have not been explained?"
In response to Chase's confusion, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"Of course, because "Fate Stay Night" has three different endings. This time I only gave you the script for the first fate line. Many things will need to be supplemented in the next two endings."
"this… "
Chase was surprised to find that he only had one-third of the thick script in his hand.
Chapter 377 The Shocked Dwarf Prince!
Chapter 377
The shooting time is always fulfilling but short. From mid-March to mid-June, Du Lin and the people in Edward Studio worked almost day and night and finally completed several films.
At the same time, several major events occurred throughout the human empire.
The first was the establishment of comprehensive colleges that King Hubbard had already begun to promote steadily. Under the king's executive order, public comprehensive colleges that could be studied by all ordinary people began to be built in all parts of the empire.
It includes not only various disciplines that already exist in the imperial academic community, but also many combat skills that imperial military talents should learn.
Even the Imperial Academy of Magic has specially developed a batch of teaching materials for ordinary people to use, and announced that the magic academy will be open to ordinary people, but one must pass the national selection and assessment before being able to enter the Imperial Academy of Magic for further studies.
These pieces of news one after another shocked the people of the empire in all regions. It was hard to imagine that the empire would spend so much wealth just to allow ordinary people to have the qualifications to study.
But after all, this world has not yet established the culture of studying in academies. Although the people were surprised by this, they did not immediately participate in it and just waited and watched.
The imperial capital naturally noticed the people's reaction to this, but King Hubbard did not show any attitude towards it, but just waited patiently.
At the same time, another major event was shaking the nerves of the entire human empire.
That is, the Orc Kingdom adjacent to the Empire suddenly stopped its full-scale offensive against the Empire, and instead withdrew all the troops originally deployed on the border of the Empire, showing a trend of overall contraction.
In response to this situation, the Human Empire immediately sent out spies to investigate what had happened on the other side.
But you wouldn't know until you investigate. Once you investigate, you'll be shocked to find that there has been a huge split within the Orc Kingdom. There has been a serious conflict between the Kingdom faction headed by the Beast King and the War faction headed by the Orc General. In a short period of time, the Orc Kingdom may even be at risk of civil unrest.
In this situation, although the human empire will not add insult to injury, it is also impossible to provide timely assistance.
After all, the conflict between the Orc Kingdom and the Human Empire has lasted for so long that it is good enough that they don't attack immediately at this time, and it is naturally impossible to lend a helping hand.
Therefore, in the end, the Human Empire could only send people to monitor the civil strife in the Orc Kingdom and be prepared to prevent any actions from the other side.
…
Although the two major events that happened in the empire were very shocking, almost every citizen who heard the news would argue about it for several days, but in the southern border, there was another thing that caused a sensation.
That is, the Duke of the South detained Crusch, the leader of the Knights of the Church of Holy Light.
While people were shocked by this incident, they also discovered that the reason given by the Duke of the Southern Territory for his detention was very simple and crude. He directly stated that the leader of the Holy Light Knights, Crusch, was suspected of having an affair with the undead and needed to be kept for investigation.
As the onlookers watched, they all realized that the Duke of the South was trying to provoke the Church of Holy Light, and that a huge, overt conflict seemed to be about to break out between the two sides.
In fact, it is true that the church reacted strongly to the detention of the Knights Crusch. The Pope of the Church of Holy Light, who rarely appears in public, even personally issued a statement, demanding the Duke of the South to release Crusch, saying that it is absolutely impossible for Crusch to have an affair with the undead.
But there is no doubt that the Duke of the South would not hand over anyone so easily.
The conflict between the South and the Church, which has lasted for hundreds of years, seems to be about to begin again in this era.
…
When the world was in turmoil and the situation was changing, Durin, who was in Alkans in the eastern border, was looking at the imaging crystal in front of him with great interest.
After three months of hard work, the second seasons of "The Quintessential Quintuplets" and "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World" have been successfully filmed.
According to Gebren from the Imperial Magic Academy, the extra story of "Steins;Gate" has almost been filmed.
Right now, the final "Fatestay Night" only has one last step left before it can officially be wrapped up.
"Didn't I expect you to ask me to use the same trick I used to hit the mountain? If the entire mountain is flattened afterwards, don't blame me if the district administrator comes to trouble you."
In response to Leticia's remarks, Durin just smiled bitterly and said:
"Don't mention it. When we were filming Fate Zero, didn't the last Noble Phantasm almost smash a newly built building? Don't worry, I've already paid in advance. Even if I really flattened the entire mountain afterwards, it can be considered a dedication to the film industry."
"All right."
With Durin's permission, Leticia immediately began to mobilize her magic power and release high-concentration holy light magic.
On the other side, the black holy grail that Durin had arranged in advance had also begun to surge. For a moment, the entire Eastern Territory felt the tremendous energy coming from here.
Slowly, the blazing magic power began to rotate, and an astonishing momentum began to erupt, even lifting the top of the sky!
"OK, thank you all for your hard work, our "Fatestay Night" has finally been officially wrapped up!"
As Du Lin finished speaking, everyone at the scene looked towards the mountain in the distance that had been flattened by the blast, and they all showed subtle expressions.
…
At the same time, off the eastern border of the empire, dwarf merchant ships were sailing here.
This caravan was specially established to transport magic stones to the Imperial Magic Academy.
Due to the orders that Durin had previously entrusted to Dean Hohenheim, the final transaction volume of magic stones was extremely large. Even the royal family of the Dwarf Kingdom took notice and sent the current Dwarf Prince Briado to check it out.
After all, magic stone is a common product in the Dwarf Kingdom, but human magicians are willing to spend money to buy it, which shocked the dwarves. They naturally want to know why humans need this magic stone.
As the special envoy sent this time, Prince Briardo himself is naturally a very flamboyant person.
Although all countries now know how powerful the magicians of the Human Empire are, as a prince, he already looks down on weak humans, and also looks down on the Human Empire that can only rely on thin magicians to barely survive in this world.
Therefore, he had already planned to demonstrate the power of the Dwarf Kingdom when he arrived there.
I have to use a big enough show...
"Um?"
All of a sudden, Prince Briardo, who was originally thinking about how to show off in front of the people of the empire, suddenly frowned.
Feeling a terrifying magical power, he quickly walked onto the deck.
"What is that?!"
At the same time, all the dwarves at the scene opened their eyes wide and looked into the distance. Even Prince Briardo's gaze was attracted and he looked over there!
"boom!"
In an instant, the terrifying magic power that erupted from the mountains in the distance seemed to have directly turned night into day, scaring all the dwarves so much that they turned pale, thinking that the world was about to end!
Prince Briardo, who was originally thinking about how to show off in front of humans, was shocked and turned into a Muggle, completely losing the ability to think.
Chapter 378: The release of a new movie!
Chapter 378
After all the films were completed, Du Lin breathed a sigh of relief.
So he immediately contacted the people at the cinema and discussed the release time of the film with King Hubbard.
Through consultation with all parties, it was finally confirmed that the film will be officially released in major cinemas across the empire at the end of June. Except for the imperial capital and the northern border where there are no cinemas yet, it can be said that the film will almost cover the entire empire.
…
A week before the movie's official release.
Major cinemas have replaced the posters at their entrances, directly replacing the movie posters that originally belonged to "Fate Zero" and "Steins;Gate" with "The Quintessential Quintuplets" and "Fate Stay Night".
At the same time, advertisements for the movie began to be played on TV, as well as trailers for the second part of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World".
Even the news about the extra stories of "Kara no Kyoukai" and "Steins;Gate" spread like wildfire.
For a moment, movie lovers across the empire were completely excited.
People rushed to the streets with enthusiasm and began to express their excitement in various ways.
Of course, as mentioned before, the outcome of all of this was that there were hundreds more prisoners in the detention center of the Urban Management Brigade.
Apart from these overly fanatical elements, there are still many normal audiences who have calmed down and are talking about the many movies that will be released at the end of the month!
"This is too exciting! Not only is there a direct sequel to the Fate series, "Fate Stay Night", but there is also a new movie?"
"Yes, 'The Quintessential Quintuplets'. Although the title doesn't sound like a movie about battles, it might be full of suspense and contradictions like 'Steins;Gate', and have a shocking ending at the end!"
"Speaking of Steins;Gate, I didn't expect that there would be a spin-off. There's only news about it now, but when will it be shown in theaters?!"
"Compared to this, I am more looking forward to "Kara no Kyoukai". I really hope that the spin-off of "Kara no Kyoukai" can tell the story of Ryougi Shiki and Kuroto Mikiya. I really feel like I am seeing their daily love life."
"Love is a daily routine? It seems that Director Du Lin has never made a movie about love. But I think he is not good at this. After all, the movies he has made so far are full of contradictions. If he focuses on the emotional portrayal of the characters, it may be difficult to make a good movie."
“That may be the case, but I just want to watch the second season of Kon! on this wonderful world as soon as possible. The last episode was interrupted at such a critical moment, which almost made me anxious. What happened to Kazuma in the end? Did he really go to jail?”
"Haha, I think with the nature of KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World, it will definitely not be accepted in the end. Maybe the tough-looking prosecutor or even the judge is actually a joke."
"You guys are so hopeless, aren't you? No matter how you think about it, "Fate Stay Night" is more worth looking forward to, right? And, judging from the poster, it seems that we can see the beautiful and handsome Saber again this time!"
"What? The Fate series has already ended once. I don't think the sequel "Fate Stay Night" will be more exciting than "Fate Zero". The new movie "The Quintessential Quintuplets" is more worth looking forward to!"
"You have no future. Movies cost money after all. Why don't we just go to the TV bar and watch "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World" for free? Wouldn't it be more fun?!"
"Ah? What did you say?!"
"… "
For a moment, all kinds of remarks filled the scene.
People's expectations for movies and television are not the same. So after some discussion, not only did they fail to reach a consensus, but the argument became more and more intense, to the point of completely exploding.
But there is no doubt that everyone is looking forward to the release of the new movie a week later and can't wait for that day to come.
…
Happy times are always short, while painful times are relatively long.
In short, after a whole week of waiting and Edward Studios working overtime, cinemas across the empire were finally ready to show the new movie.
Major cinemas have gradually released their movie schedules, and advertisements on television have become more frequent, to the point where TV tavern viewers often complain that they can spend the entire day just watching movie ads.
On the square of the Imperial Magic Academy, the familiar black curtain barrier gradually began to emerge. Students and lecturers had already been looking forward to the screening of the new movie. Even though the final exams were just a few days away, no one chose to review at this moment and all rushed to the square.
“Wuhu, new movie!”
"This is awesome! I can finally be freed from this stupid graduation thesis!"
"You make it sound like you don't have to go back and write your paper after reading this."
"Ahh, hurry up and start, I've been waiting for so long!"
“I’m really going to die without new movies to watch!”
"... ..."
For a while, such scenes were not only happening in the Imperial Magic Academy, but similar situations were happening at the entrances of movie theaters throughout the empire, symbolizing people's expectations for the new movie.
…
At the same time, at the East Border Port.
Prince Briado of the Dwarf Kingdom also slowly got off the boat. All the grand and high-end plans he had originally envisioned had now been wasted.
The huge flood of magic power a while ago completely frightened him and he had no idea what to do. After all, although he had heard that the magicians of the Human Empire were very powerful in the past, he never expected them to be so powerful that he could clearly feel the surge of magic power even at such a distance from the port.
