It took Hill a week to finish writing the rough script of this male-frequent novel to be filmed, trying to absorb the essence of those male-frequent novels on the earth, as well as various big scenes and handsome men and beauties , anyway, this is a different world, whether it is special effects or beauties are ready-made.
As for why it is a rough script, because Hill wants to wait for the actors to be selected before taking some rest according to the actors, so that the viewing effect must be excellent.
After finishing the script, Hill thought about it, changed the title of the film to "The Evil Lord", and then published an open recruitment advertisement in a magazine.
It was announced before that the next film would recruit external actors, so when this advertisement came out, the entire Magnolia City and Josh Kenny were in a state of excitement.
The Demon Realm is no exception.
After learning about this incident, Lich Ali Gaili, the Lich of the Five Great Elders, poked his head several times in front of Hill. It was actually quite frightening for a elusive lich to poke his head. Hill couldn't help but almost pinched his head. Finally he couldn't take it anymore, "What are you going to do, just say it."
Lich Ali Gaili said a little coyly: "My king, I want to play a role in it."
There is really a role that the lich Alighieri can play here—the hero's accompanying grandfather. In the script, his setting is originally a lich with a broken soul.
"It's okay, there is a character in it that fits your identity better," Hill said helplessly, "Next time you tell me clearly, don't do this, I'm scared to death."
"I'm sorry, my king." Lich Ali Gaili said quickly.
"How about this, show me a smirk first." Hill said.
Lich Ali Gaili: "Jie Jie?"
"Yeah... just... that laugh," Hill said.
"Er... pardon my ignorance, my lord, what kind of smile was that?" Alighieri asked.
Hill was dazed for a few seconds, "I don't know anyway..." In short, the big devils in the novels usually laugh like this, and after a few seconds, Hill said: "In short, you make an evil laugh try?"
Ali Gaili pondered for a few seconds and said, "Hey hey."
Hill: "..."
Hello! It's not an evil laugh, is it? This is the old driver's laughter! It's not an evil way!
Imagine that a domineering big devil appeared in a male video, but ended up saying "hehehe", what's the situation? Is Woody possessed? This is it? Speaking of which, is it possible to serialize "Thriller Paradise" in a magazine... Alas, it doesn't seem to be possible now, because it lacks the foundation of background culture, so let's take it slowly.
In short, Hill asked Alighieri to figure out how to create a lich image with a cold outside and a hot inside, and then he went to Magnolia City and Josh Kenny, intending to personally review the actor interview.
At this time, the influence of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is still very large, and it has surpassed the influence of the previous films - after all, the previous films did not have external projection stones.
Moreover, the story of "Natsume's Book of Friends" is suitable for both male and female teachers. If it weren't for the fear of being checked by the water meter, Joan and Baker would have advertised "Brilliant! What is the movie that made Emperor Yulan stay up late to watch..." . Later, Joan and Baker thought that they were already being targeted by the emperor anyway, so it’s okay to die more, and the debts are too heavy... Oh yes, this is a guy who wants money but not life.
So Joan and Baker placed the ad in Josh Kenny, and let's forget about Magnolia City, after all, he didn't really want his life.
When the second batch of projection stones in "Natsume's Book of Friends" was put on the shelves, in addition to the one of Emperor Yulan, there was also an advertisement for "a strong work jointly recommended by the four major pirate kings".
Then, under the lead of the ghost Bins, "Natsume's Book of Friends" also became popular in the Yulan Academy of Magic. Didn't he become a professor at the Academy of Magic? He gave a projection stone as a prize to the quiz The winner, the winner generously lent it to his classmates after reading it all night, which made some students who couldn't afford to go to the general shopping mall to cheer.
Hill wondered if it was time to come up with some vouchers as rewards for the lucky draw for submissions to "Devil Magazine". Most of the students of the magic academy can't afford projection stones, but they can afford magazines. Hill currently needs to make money, so he hasn't lowered the price yet. This objectively creates obstacles to cultural aggression, so he should find a way to expand the influence of cultural products on the basis of making a lot of money.

Actor interviews.
The interview took place in a box in the restaurant on the second floor of the complex. Hill planned to entrust humans with a few key roles. Of course, if there were some nobles, Hill would not mind letting them play some innocuous roles. . Hill doesn't have the integrity to be an artist right now...and he really isn't, he's a money-crazy devil.
Next to Hill are Joan, Baron Baker, and Baron Jefferson and Jackson. The old Duke is not convenient to show up, so he asked his son to come. Olivia also wants to come, but she wants to participate rather than watch the audition audition. And the old Duke also agreed to her request, so she will appear as an auditioner this time.
"Let the first one in," Hill said.
The order of the auditions was randomized. The first one to come in was a student from the Magnolia Academy of Magic. Hill glanced at his appearance, and then handed him a piece of parchment with a scene written on it. The Chai actor laughed at him.
"Okay, try to act out the above scene." Hill said.
As a result, the other party's performance was not satisfactory, as stiff as a clerk who was forced to go on stage at the company's annual meeting. In a sense, this metaphor is quite vivid.
Hill shook his head, "Next."
The student left disappointed.
The auditionees come in one by one, many of them are not good at all, but there are also some good ones. So far, the candidates are: the cousin who doesn’t like the actor, the father who died young Seriously ill mother, taunting the male lead against A, B, C, D.
There are currently no suitable candidates for female characters, and neither does a male lead.
At this moment, the door was pushed open, and reporter Theodore appeared with a smiling face, "Good morning, distinguished gentlemen, I'm here for an audition."
Hill was embarrassed for a second when he saw Theodore. He was too lazy to name him at the time, so the male protagonist directly used Theodore's name. Then he looked Theodore up and down. He had a sunny appearance and was a little handsome. , It's really suitable for the leading actor. So Hill said, "Come on, you do this first."
The scene on the parchment is that the protagonist is hit hard after knowing that he is not suitable for practicing magic.
Theodore closed his eyes for a while to find the feeling, and then opened his eyes. At this time, his eyes were full of disbelief. He took a few steps back and hit the stool... This was not what he expected, but he was very Quickly adjusted, pretended to stagger and assumed a more embarrassed posture, and then the disbelief turned into loss and pain, and then he clenched his fists as if remembering something, a little more angry...
His eyes seemed to say, why me, why me
Hill nodded frequently after watching it, feeling that Theodore's acting skills are pretty good.
Jefferson and Jackson next to him were also amazed. From the interview this morning, he discovered that human talents are manifested in various aspects, and being able to act is actually a kind of talent. Of course, this is not just about the ability to act in movies. As noble young masters, Jefferson and Jackson can think of how important acting is in aristocratic communication.
Joan and Baker were also a little surprised. He didn't expect his subordinate to have such a talent.
Next, Hill asked Theodore to try a few more scenes, and the others were all good, but the domineering was a bit lacking, but Hill felt that he could also be trained.
So Hill said to him with a smile: "Congratulations, you passed."
Theodore showed a big smile, "Thank you, honorable sir, what role did I get?"
Hill blinked and said, "Actor."
Theodore was startled for a moment, and then he was ecstatic.
Actor!
This is something he never thought about!
Many years later, the honorable King Theodore I thought that meeting Mr. Greenwald... no, meeting His Excellency the Demon King was probably the real turning point in his life.

During the lunch break, the three of them, plus one Monroe, ate directly in the restaurant on the second floor, which was already equipped with drinks from the devil world, so they tried the latest Moonlight strawberry wine brewed by the dark elves. It tasted really good, already Better than anything Hill ever drank on Earth.
In addition, Hill also drank some golden wine and dwarven ale. Meals include: cherry pie; delicious salad with walnuts, raisins, blackberries and grated cheese; suckling pig stuffed with mushrooms, oysters and seasoning; grilled crab; secret sausages... these are quite medieval. But the food that has been improved by Hill.
In addition, Hill also ate some abalone rice. Hill is still very keen on rice. At present, Joan and Baker have found a batch of rice seeds, and Hill planted the rice outside the Blackstone Tower, where the land is very fertile. Besides abalone, the main ingredient of abalone rice is shiitake mushrooms, which is also one of Hill's favorite ingredients. Dried shiitake mushrooms can perfectly lock the unique flavor of wild shiitake mushrooms. The combination of fungi and seafood has always been a classic, but at this moment, the combination of the flavors of shiitake mushrooms and abalone brings an unparalleled taste enjoyment. Finally, the delicious sauce is poured on top, and the full-grained rice exudes a strong fragrance.
Hill took a spoonful of it with a spoon and ate it. It was fresh and tender, accompanied by a wonderful sauce aroma. It was really the ultimate enjoyment.
In fact, life is beautiful now. Hill thought.
The Demon Realm still faces many challenges, but Hill still has confidence in the future. After all, behind him is a reserve of knowledge from the entire earth.
Of course the future is very important, but the present is also very important. Enjoy it while you can.
Hill stretched his waist and said, "Take a nap, and then continue the audition in the afternoon."
Monroe got up, "I'll leave for a while."
"Where are you going?" Hill asked.
"The border of the Yulan Empire," Monroe said, "I informed Teresa when I came out, and I went to meet him."
Theresa and Shelley, Monroe's vice-captain at the time, were ordered by Monroe to go undercover at the Illuminati Church. Hill knew about this, and he handed it over to Monroe. He had too many things to take care of. I can't take care of it for the time being. While it was a sensitive matter, Hill had total confidence in Monroe.
"Oh." Hill was a little sullen, "Aren't you going to accompany me?"
"What are you doing with you? Sleeping?" Monroe asked.
Hill: "Gah?"
The other two people present gasped.
Monroe glanced at the messy expressions on everyone's faces, feeling a little helpless: "...Didn't you say you were going to take a nap?"
Hill rubbed his nose in embarrassment, "I'm sorry I'm full of evil thoughts, I think wrong."
"Okay." Monroe said, "I'll leave this afternoon."
"Okay~"
Jefferson naturally went home, and Hill and Monroe went to Joan and Baker's mansion to rest.
The death knight didn't need to sleep. After Hill sat on the bed, Monroe leaned down and kissed the back of his hand, and said, "Take a good rest, I'll watch at the door."
"You don't even call me my king," Hill said.
"Because there are still distracting thoughts in my heart, I can't give my allegiance wholeheartedly." Monroe said, and then said, "Go to sleep, I have something to do in the afternoon."
"Okay," Hill said.
Monroe left immediately, and then stood at the door to guard the work.
Hill was lying on the bed, of course he could feel Monroe guarding the door.
feel good.
Everything seems to be fine.
