"Don't want it? I don't lack credits, and I can't act."
In response to Chris's refusal and seeing that Geblen couldn't persuade her no matter what, Durin on the side quietly pulled the girl aside and whispered something in her ear.
After a while, when the two came back, Chris nodded with a red face.
"I agree."
"Hmm? Why did you agree again?"
Facing Geblun's confusion, Chris gave him a decisive and dissatisfied look and said:
"What do you care?!"
"???"
While the two were caught in a somewhat awkward atmosphere, Du Lin had already happily begun preparations for the filming of his new movie.
At the same time, White, the president of the Student Union, quietly came up to him and asked:
"Senior Du Lin, what did you just say to her?"
In response, Du Lin just smiled mysteriously and said nothing.
After all, he couldn't say that he had just told Chris that the hero and heroine of Steins;Gate had a kissing scene during the filming.
At first, he was just trying it out, but he didn't expect the other party to actually fall into his trap.
Du Lin also admired himself more and more, and his judgment of people became more and more accurate.
…
When Durin had already started recruiting people to film "Steins;Gate", in Edward's Tavern, Juno, who had just finished writing a letter, breathed a sigh of relief and prepared to give the envelope to the carrier pigeon to send it to the Orc Kingdom.
Regarding the movie "Kara no Kyoukai", Juno herself likes it very much. The fact that she watched it on TV for two consecutive days is enough to prove it. But she can't explain why she likes it so much. She just thinks it is very good and the battles are also very gorgeous.
Of course, the most important thing is that compared to previous films, she has no idea how to evaluate "Kara no Kyoukai" this time.
Even if she racked her brains to think about it, she didn't know how to comment on this film, let alone think about the deeper content behind it.
So, in the end, Juno simply wrote the contents of the three episodes of "Kara no Kyoukai" that had been broadcast on a letter and sent it to the Orc Prophet.
In Juno's opinion, although she herself could not understand many of the meanings described in the film, as the orc prophet who had gone the furthest in magic in the Orc Kingdom, he would definitely be able to see the hidden message behind the film.
At this moment, when Juno put away the letter and walked downstairs, Beldia, Wiz and others were chatting downstairs. When they saw her coming, Wiz ran over and complained:
"Juno, didn't I ask you to keep a record of the accounts yesterday? It's really not my fault that I lost money this time, right? Please help me and Mr. Beldia explain this!"
Seeing Wiz's tearful face, Juno finally remembered the account book. She had originally planned to deal with it after finishing watching "Kara no Kyoukai" but she didn't expect it to be so exciting that she couldn't come back to her senses after watching it for two days in a row.
Therefore, she immediately lowered her head and said:
"I'm sorry, it's my fault this time. You can ask me to compensate you in any way you want, deduct my salary or increase my working hours, please don't fire me!"
"Well, it's not to this extent..."
Seeing Juno trembling, Wiz said this with an embarrassed expression.
Beldia on the side had actually calmed down long ago and didn't say anything else.
So, seeing that no one blamed her, Juno was relieved. Although she wanted to do something to make up for it, she was in a hurry to deliver the letter, so she continued to bow apologetically and left the scene.
"This kid really doesn't look like a bad person."
Wiz said so, while Beldia remained noncommittal.
For them, as long as this orc girl doesn't do anything harmful to humans, they will not do anything to her. But if she has any bad intentions, the four undead in this tavern will not tolerate it.
In a sense, the military force possessed by Edward Tavern is already the pinnacle of the entire southern territory.
On the other hand, Juno released the pigeon with a letter in anticipation. She was looking forward to seeing what the prophet of the Orc Kingdom would say about the movie.
Chapter 154: Frost Film Festival is in preparation!
Chapter 154
The more beautiful the imagination is, the more cruel the reality is.
In order to prepare for the Frost Film Festival, Du Lin decided to start shooting four films at different locations at the same time. This seemed to be a perfect plan that could maximize efficiency in shooting several films.
However, when he actually started the operation, Du Lin realized what a terrible experience it was.
The beautiful day ended the moment he woke up in the morning. Du Lin didn't even have time to brush his teeth or wash his face before he was forced to start preparing for the filming process of "Steins;Gate".
But before he could finish everything, news came from Chase that problems occurred in the filming of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World" one day after it officially started shooting.
For this reason, Du Lin had to temporarily give up his work and go to the southern border of Northrick to help the other party solve various trivial issues encountered during the filming, including but not limited to the actors making trouble, a small-scale strike with Aya as the main source, magic blockage of photography tools in the ice and snow environment, and the ghost created by Wiz running wild, which began to affect the entire city...
After all this was resolved, a day had passed. Du Lin returned to the Imperial Magic Academy tiredly. Without even a moment of rest, he was suddenly attacked by Scar.
The alchemical product of television still lacks quality assurance. The large number of quality problems that occur can only be solved by the most professional mage alchemist, Du Lin himself.
For this reason, Du Lin had to start repairing the faulty TVs overnight, forcing himself to apply more than thirty layers of gain buffs, and finally successfully completed the repair work on all the TVs.
Then he found that it was daybreak.
Moreover, before he had time to rest, actors from "Steins;Gate" such as Geblen came to him. They just came to him for filming according to the previously agreed time.
Faced with this scene, although Du Lin's eyes were already bleeding, he still gritted his teeth and nodded, took out his equipment and went to the previously arranged shooting site in the club activity room of the Imperial Magic Academy.
After a flurry of activity, Du Lin, who had dealt with everything, decisively said loudly:
"The actors are ready, and all the processes have been completed. Now, the filming of Steins;Gate: Fate Butterfly Wings is officially underway!"
After saying this, Du Lin staggered on the spot, feeling that his mental strength had weakened to the extreme.
Coupled with the subsequent filming of "Kara no Kyoukai", Du Lin didn't even have the energy to smile bitterly at this moment.
…
The eastern border of the empire, the coastal Alcans.
The last time Du Lin was here, he came once when filming "Fate Zero". Due to the traces left by various filmings, this place has become a tourist city frequently visited by people from the southern border.
Although there were no movie theaters in the East yet, due to the sudden influx of tourists, the people of Alkans had apparently gained some understanding of this new thing called movies.
Many people even went to the South Territory specifically to watch a movie that was popular throughout the South Territory.
After becoming deeply obsessed, some people from the East Territory did not even think of returning to the East Territory and directly settled down in the South Territory.
This time, Du Lin came to this city again, mainly for the purpose of filming the fifth episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" - The Spiral of Contradiction.
As explained before, the first four episodes of "Kara no Kyoukai" were shot by Du Lin in one go, but he only released three episodes in the end because he took into account possible accidents and needed some stock, which was equivalent to saving manuscripts.
So, he came directly to shoot the fifth episode, The Spiral of Contradiction.
In addition, the reason why Alkans in the east was chosen was very simple, because the huge skyscraper like the one in the spiral of contradictions can only be found in such prosperous coastal cities.
This world is extremely vast. On the other side of the sea, there are various races besides humans, including but not limited to elves, dwarves, goblins, mermaids, giants... and even the legendary dragons.
In contrast, the continent where humans live has only one orc kingdom as a neighbor, and the other scattered small countries are mostly sub-human races, which can be said to be extremely single species.
Because of the developed maritime trade along the coast, the East Territory can be said to be the most developed place in the entire empire and the place closest to modern times.
The fact that "Fate Zero" was chosen to be filmed here is enough to show that the various landscapes in Alcans already have some modern elements, which led to the smooth filming of the entire film.
After arriving in Alcans, Du Lin went directly to the shooting location in Alcans and found that the staff were already waiting for him on the scene.
I forgot to introduce the crew of "Kara no Kyoukai" before. This group of people were carefully selected by Du Lin from various troupes in the southern border.
Everyone has accumulated enough experience in the filming of "Fate Zero", so the filming of "Kara no Kyoukai" was so smooth.
The actors who play the male and female protagonists of "Kara no Kyoukai", Shiki Ryougi and Mikiya Kurogiri, are also the leading actors of the famous southern theater troupe Butterfly Dream, who were once as famous in the southern region as the Snow Flower Theater.
Thanks to the fact that Chase had always had a good relationship with them and even had their contact information, Du Lin was able to successfully recruit such an excellent troupe.
At this time, in addition to the Butterfly Dream Theater and other crew members, Sage Rosa and Professor Stritch also arrived at the scene.
At this moment, the two were looking at the many arrangements on the east coast in surprise, and said with a little confusion:
"What's that over there? Is there something you want to film?"
“I don’t remember that there was any part in Kara no Kyoukai that needed to be filmed at the beach.”
In response to the speeches of Rosa the Sage and Stritch, Du Lin simply said calmly:
“That’s certainly not what was needed for the filming of Kara no Kyoukai.”
"So what is this?"
Facing Sage Rosa's words, Durin just smiled and said:
"Remember the last scene of the first chapter of "FateZero"?"
"The final scene? Wait, that's?"
All of a sudden, in front of the surprised faces of Sage Rosa and Stritch, a huge and terrifying shadow suddenly appeared above the sea in the distance.
At the same time, a large number of facilities arranged on the seashore deployed a huge barrier almost at the same time, covering everything inside.
Although the perception of ordinary people has been blocked, as great sages and great magicians, Durin, Rosa and Strich can still see through everything inside through their enormous mental power.
"This is really... Could it be a real evil god? How can such a thing be summoned?"
Facing the surprise of a great sage like Rosa, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"As the best film production company, it is normal for Edward Studios to have some special staff members, isn't it?"
Chapter 155: News about the Frost Film Festival is released!
Chapter 155
Shooting four movies in a row, Du Lin felt like he was taking the college entrance examination and studying hard every night in order to get an extra point.
Almost every day, there is a large amount of work waiting for him to complete.
Every morning when he wakes up, the first thing he does is to check his work reports immediately and find what he needs to do from the vast number of work reports that make people dizzy at a glance.
Fortunately, as a new generation director, Chase had gained a lot of experience in the filming of "Fate Zero" and "Kara no Kyoukai", which helped him share a lot of work.
Otherwise, Du Lin was really afraid that he would die suddenly on the set one day.
In order to shoot four films, he ran around three places, Northrick, the Imperial Academy of Magic, and Alkans, almost every day.
For every major link in the shooting process, even if he is not the main person in charge, he must at least review it to ensure that the captured images meet his expectations.
After working day and night like this, Du Lin finally succeeded...
I was exhausted!
…
"What am I doing?"
Du Lin woke up from the bed in a daze, opened his eyes, and found a familiar ceiling.
I still remember that this was the scene I saw when I first traveled through time.
"So you're going back to the castle?"
Du Lin was talking to himself and just felt relieved, but the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes wide and sat up abruptly from the bed.
At this moment, he looked around for the first time, and then murmured in surprise:
"Castle? Edward Castle? Why am I here? Wasn't I just filming Steins;Gate at the Imperial Magic Academy?"
While Edward was confused and racking his brains to remember what had just happened, Winry walked in from outside with a plate of warm food in her hand.
All of a sudden, when she saw Du Lin wake up, she shouted:
"Ah, Lord Edward, are you awake? You are not feeling well, you need to lie down and rest."
"Rest? Me?"
Du Lin, who was forced to lie back on the bed under Wen Li's care, said in surprise:
"Winry, how did I get back?"
In response to Durin's question, Wen Li simply fed the food to his mouth and answered:
"Mr. Roy sent you here. It is said that you suddenly fainted while filming a movie at the Magic Academy. The students called the lecturer, and the lecturer called the dean. Finally, the dean sent Mr. Roy to bring you back."
"I fainted?"
He just felt completely without any impression, and it took Du Lin a while to realize his own weakness.
