The TV premiere was a perfect ending, leaving everyone wanting more.
Recalling the last scene, the audiences in the many taverns in Northrick were talking excitedly at this moment.
"It's so beautiful, damn!"
"The last scene of Ryougi Shiki is so beautiful!"
“Although I still don’t understand what Kara no Kyoukai is about, I just think it’s very good.”
"Ah, damn director, I've already whetted our appetite with FateZero, and now there's another one called Kara no Kyoukai. How am I supposed to live with this?"
"When will the fourth chapter of "Kara no Kyoukai" be released?"
"By the way, will this TV show anything in the future?"
As various sounds rang out in the tavern, the audience had all entered a state of torture from the long-lasting updates.
While people were discussing the content, and some were even preparing to leave, as the ending song ended, a brand new scene suddenly appeared!
"Wait, there's more!"
"Shit, I almost left!"
“I almost lost a lot of money!”
Amid the audience's expectant expressions, a tall figure in a black coat slowly appeared on the screen.
At the same time, the middle-aged man's narration slowly sounded.
"There are three chess pieces ready."
"A double body that floats on the surface of death."
"A misfit who derives pleasure from contact with death."
"The origin awakener who escaped death and derived himself."
"They will be entangled with each other and wait in a spiral of mutual destruction."
The next moment, the narration ended and the man in black in the movie slowly disappeared.
A subtitle appeared in the movie that made everyone's heart stop.
"The fourth chapter of "Kara no Kyoukai" - The Cave of Galan - will be broadcast in the middle of next month. One chapter will be broadcast every month thereafter, and it will be shown on televisions across the empire."
“The first three chapters of Kara no Kyoukai will be broadcast on TV every afternoon on a loop.”
"A TV promotion plan is in preparation, so please stay tuned."
In an instant, all the audience at the scene exploded!
No one expected that happiness would come so suddenly. Compared to the second chapter of "Fate Zero" which can only be seen in winter, "Kara no Kyoukai" will actually release an episode every month. People are so happy!
"I declare that the director is my real father!"
"Director Du Lin, the eternal God!"
"Where can I find a TV? I want to buy one now!"
"I want to watch Kara no Kyoukai at home!"
"… "
The audiences at Northrick are now completely excited. They are obviously completely conquered by TV and "Kara no Kyoukai"!
…
At the same time, at the Imperial Magic Academy.
The rational magicians are all in a similar situation as the ordinary people right now, and are extremely happy about the news that "Kara no Kyoukai" will be updated every month.
But they don't know that this is actually Du Lin's devil plan, which is the idea he made as early as when he wanted to make an anime - to let the people in this world also experience the pain of chasing anime!
Of course, no matter how painful it will be later, they now started talking about the specific topic of "Kara no Kyoukai" as soon as possible.
"The content of "Kara no Kyoukai" is much more vague than "Fate Zero". It feels like I can't grasp the main thread of the whole story at all."
"Yeah, at first I thought it was just an ordinary story about a heroine fighting monsters, but now it seems that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it."
"The person who appeared in the last scene seemed to be Professor Stritch of the Department of Spirituality and Soul. It turned out that he acted with Rosa the Sage."
"Ahh, time goes by so slowly. I wish it would be next month soon!"
"Yeah, it would be nice if there was some magic that could speed up the passage of time."
"Why not use this thing to watch a movie? I want to do that too!"
As various voices rang out, the students finally left the hall reluctantly and returned to their own dormitories.
At the same time, many lecturers and professors present surrounded Stritch, who was standing at the end, and looked at him with burning eyes, clearly wanting to know what would happen next.
For this reason, Sturridge could only say helplessly:
"I haven't read the script, but Du Lin informed me that I should go to shoot the next episode of "The World of Kara" in a few days. I guess I might see the script of the fourth episode then. If you want to know, it would be more correct to find Sage Rosa or Du Lin."
After hearing his words, the lecturers and professors could only shake their heads helplessly.
After all, even though they hold a transcendent status in the Imperial Magic Academy, they cannot just casually greet Rosa, the great sage who stands at the pinnacle of magic, and Durin, who has become the dean of the Alchemy Academy.
Now, even though they are in a superior position, the only thing they can do is to suppress their curiosity, be patient, and wait for the update of "Kara no Kyoukai" next month.
One of the magicians who was familiar with Durin said helplessly:
"This is really incredible. Who would have thought that Durin Edward, who was expelled from the Mage Tower a few years ago and almost failed to become an Imperial Mage, would cause such a big incident after returning."
"Yeah, I used to be that kid's homeroom teacher. He was really troublesome and gave me a headache every day."
"Are times finally beginning to change? This Mage Tower, which has stood in the empire for thousands of years, is finally beginning to undergo unpredictable changes."
"I should be feeling very emotional at this time, but now I want to see the next episodes of "Fate Zero" and "Kara no Kyoukai" even more. What's going on?"
"Haha, the tide of the times is swept up by a superficial form of entertainment, allowing us to easily recognize the changes. I have to admit that Du Lin is truly a genius."
“The future belongs to the young.”
A group of lecturers who were above the rank of high-level magicians sighed like this and eventually left one after another, but everyone could still feel their anticipation for future movies.
... ...
At the same time, at the top of the Alchemy Tower, several great sages were looking at the still TV screen in front of them with lingering satisfaction.
Compared to ordinary magicians, they obviously understand more clearly the symbolic meaning behind this seemingly entertaining culture.
The world did indeed begin to change under the influence of that young man!
Chapter 149: Steins;Gate!
Chapter 149
The three-episode series of "Kara no Kyoukai" ended, causing an uproar in all places with televisions.
While everyone is discussing topics related to "Kara no Kyoukai", many more people who have not had the opportunity to see the film are already beating their chests and stamping their feet.
After all, "Kara no Kyoukai" was the first sham to be broadcast using the television screening system, and cinemas would not show films related to it.
Of course, if there is an opportunity in the future, Du Lin would not mind making a high-definition remake in theaters and reaping the benefits of the entire empire.
At the same time, it's not showing in theaters, which means that those who don't have a TV will never have the chance to see "Kara no Kyoukai" if they can't find one.
This undoubtedly made many people unhappy.
Fortunately, before people's resentment erupted, Durin promptly had Viscount Barnil release the news -
Next, taverns across the South will gradually popularize the concept of TV taverns, and the latest televisions will be popularized throughout the South at the fastest speed.
The news spread quickly, and all those who did not see "Kara no Kyoukai" for the first time suddenly no longer had any resentment.
As for places outside the southern border, considering that movies themselves have not yet been popularized so far, Du Lin has no intention of spreading television throughout the empire for the time being.
Eat your food one bite at a time and walk one step at a time.
If we try to popularize movies and television forcibly before the right environment is created, we will only end up hurting ourselves.
Of course, in the North, which already has some knowledge of movies, Durin still plans to discuss with Elsa, the president of the Adventurer's Guild, to build a lobby TV exclusively for the Adventurer's Guild.
…
After the screening of "Kara no Kyoukai" ended perfectly, Durin ignored the group of guys in Edward's Tavern who had watched the movie and whose faces were distorted because they were too uncomfortable waiting for the update. Instead, he went to the Imperial Academy of Magic and went directly to the top of the Alchemy Tower.
However, to his surprise, almost all of the only nine great sages in the empire were gathered here, with only Scar huddled aside and trembling with a nervous expression.
"What are you doing here, great sages? Are you squatting here just to watch TV?"
Many great sages blushed at Du Lin's question, which seemed like he knew the answer but asked it anyway.
However, they were obviously used to this situation, and instead of feeling embarrassed, they said directly:
"When will the next episode of Kara no Kyoukai be aired? Will it still be available on TV?"
"When can you make more TVs? It's really exhausting for me to run out of the Mage Tower."
"You're tired as hell, when did you not use teleportation magic to transfer out directly? By the way, I want to ask when the second chapter of "Fate Zero" will be released, I'm still looking forward to this more!"
"I'm looking forward to it. Or you can go and take the photo right now!"
At this moment, all the great sages were discussing here in a panic.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Durin showed a wry smile. If other people in this world saw these great sages who symbolized the highest wisdom of mages behave in such a worldly way, they would probably be shocked.
But fortunately, Durin is not only a most talented magician, but also a time traveler. Even when facing various questions from a group of great sages, he remained calm and responded one by one.
"The next episode of Kara no Kyoukai will be broadcast on TV on this day next month, just like the one on TV. By the way, the fourth episode has already been filmed, but in order to avoid any unexpected events and delays, only three episodes will be broadcast. From now on, one episode will be filmed and broadcast every month."
"The current output of televisions is still not large-scale production. I estimate that only a few hundred can be produced in a short period of time. I plan to use them to cover the taverns in the southern border and give them to some key figures in the empire. Building good relationships with big figures is also an important step in the future development of magic alchemy."
"The second chapter of Fate Zero and the TV version of God's Blessing for a Wonderful World have already been scheduled to start filming. At the same time, Mr. Chase, the head of the Snow Flower Theater, has taken over the filming of these two films on my behalf, so he will be the specific director of the two films. Except for some key shots, I will not take the initiative to ask about the rest of the filming."
After hearing Durin's words, all the great sages nodded with satisfaction, obviously having received a satisfactory answer from him.
At the same time, several great sages have been considering using their status to ask Durin for a TV.
After all, Du Lin said that he would give some televisions to the big shots. Aren’t these great sages the big shots in the empire
On the other hand, Hohenheim seemed to realize something and asked, "Du Lin, you will not be the follow-up director of "Fate Zero" and "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Beautiful World"? Then what will you do next? The filming task of "Kara no Kyoukai" should not be that heavy, right?"
Seeing Hohenheim's suspicious look, Durin said bluntly:
"What else can I do? My biggest dream in this life is to create countless wonderful movies and present them to the audiences of this world. What is released now is just the beginning!"
"Oh? Does that mean you're going to make other movies next?"
Seeing that the faces of the great sages were all filled with anticipation, Du Lin nodded calmly, obviously with no intention of hiding anything.
Seeing this, the great sage Pollack from the special elements discipline said decisively:
"Du Lin, are you planning to make movies about magicians next? Although "Fate Zero" and "Kara no Kyoukai" show the performance of magic in battle, I actually want to see movies that fit the image of magicians and show the charm of magic itself."
After hearing what Sage Pollack said, Durin smiled mysteriously and replied:
"Sage Pollack, you really hit the nail on the head. The next film I plan to make, or movie, will be about 'magic' itself!"
"Oh? You already have an idea?"
Hearing Durin's words, the great sages around him naturally couldn't resist their curiosity. Even the students of magic alchemy who were doing maintenance work on various TV stations in the distance, and even Scar, secretly focused their attention on him at this moment.
As for this, Du Lin did not keep it secret, but kindly gave them some spoilers and said:
"I can't say it's an idea, but at least I have an idea. The next film I plan to shoot is a very 'magical' one that is also related to time. I can tell you its name in advance—"
"Steins;Gate!"
Chapter 150: Filming of "Steins;Gate" starts!
Chapter 150
The idea of filming "Steins;Gate" did not come to Du Lin suddenly.
It has been mentioned before that Du Lin deliberately opened the Edward Tavern opposite the Northrick Cinema in order to be able to hear the audience's comments and exchanges on the movie first.
During this period, he also learned a lot about "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World", "Goblin Slayer" and "Fate Zero" in various places, and asked people from all walks of life about their opinions on these movies.
In the end, he came to a rather embarrassing conclusion, that is, people with different educational levels have different thresholds for watching movies.
The common people at the bottom of the empire who have not received any education would show great enjoyment when watching funny movies like "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!"
