I'm shooting anime in another world

In response to Alyssa's excitement, Du Lin just silently replied: "Of course, I have an idea for the script. The only problem is the actors. I don't have enough actors at the moment. Can I go to your Adventurer's Guild in the North to find actors?"

"Of course there is no problem. I will gather adventurers in the name of the guild at that time."

After clarifying the situation, Du Lin nodded and said: "Then I will go back to make the script first. Can you stay here for a few days? I plan to go to the North with you to investigate the shooting location and other issues after the script is ready. The sooner the actor auditions are, the better."

"Of course, the Adventurer's Guild can still operate normally even without the Guildmaster."

Although Alyssa acted as if it was a matter of course when she said this, the Guildmaster of the South Territory beside her showed a subtle expression.

.........

In the past few days, the reputation of "Blessings on a Beautiful World" has fermented in an almost explosive manner throughout the southern border. Almost every merchant who passed through Northrick and had the opportunity to watch a movie would show off by pasting the promotional flyers of the Northrick Cinema on his carriage to show off his uniqueness.

Therefore, during this period of time, the movie was not only known to everyone in Northrick, but also spread at a viral speed outside Northrick, making countless listeners who could only listen to the boasting of traveling merchants beat their chests and stamp their feet, wishing to open a portal to Northrick at a sky-high price to enjoy this thing called a movie.

In just a few days, "Blessings on a Beautiful World" completely set off a trend in Northrick. The plot in the movie became a topic of conversation for young people and adventurers after dinner on weekdays. Even some noble mages who were willing to condescend to watch the movie began to rub fireballs at home. Merchants took the opportunity to launch the same props and weapons as in the movie. The clothes worn by the protagonists have even appeared in many clothing stores. These so-called peripherals have begun to be invented by the people of this world without any instruction.

In this environment, the one that made the most money was undoubtedly Lawrence's Monster Shop. His monsters, which were originally for appreciation, were sold out in just a few days. The speed at which customers bought them was even more terrifying than the speed at which customers bought food in the cafeteria. This monster shop owner, who had never experienced money falling from the sky in his life, smiled happily and painfully these days. The happiness was naturally that he made money, and the pain was that the monsters he cherished and raised changed owners one after another, and he never had the chance to see them again. However, this was much better than his previous state of almost going bankrupt.

In short, the new performance form of movies, with the broadcast of the movie "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on a Beautiful World" as an opportunity, began to spread, just like a highly contagious virus, attracting all those who were interested and uninterested in movies as if there was a magnetic force between each other.

.........

The carriage slowly drove into the streets of Northrick.

In the carriage, a blonde girl in a nun's uniform looked around. Her big watery eyes set off the scenery of the city. As expected, the girl heard similar remarks on the street.

"Did you go to see "KonoSuba: A Wonderful World" yesterday? Let's go together today!"

"What are you doing? You've seen it three times, aren't you tired of grabbing tickets?"

"Now that the Northric Grand Theater... the cinema has expanded, it's not that difficult to grab tickets. And don't you think the story is interesting and the heroines are cute?! I won't get tired of watching it even if I watch it ten times!!!"

Such topics about movies have been spreading between towns since a few days ago. No matter which town the girl goes to, the first thing she hears must be about movies and "KonoSuba: A Wonderful World".

To be honest, this kind of experience is something the girl has never had before. As the only daughter of the Grand Duke of the South, Daphne has always lived a simple yet complicated life. Simple means that there is almost nothing extra in the lives of nobles, and complicated means that there are too many things in the lives of nobles that cannot be understood, whether it is basic etiquette, interpersonal communication, or the practice of being a transcendent, everything is so boring and lacks color.

Therefore, Daphne tried her best to escape from the Duke's castle on her sixteenth birthday. With the help of the guards, she saw the world that she had only heard of in rumors for the first time. The outside world did not disappoint her expectations. Every day, there were all kinds of new things that attracted her attention, and movies naturally entered her ears.

However, she did not have any interest after learning about the movie, because in her opinion, the so-called movie is just an alternative stage play. The opera performance has no appeal to Daphne who can enjoy her own stage play in the Duke's Castle. Instead, she is so sleepy that she just wants to sleep. For her, the reason why these people are so interested is simply because they have too little experience and can force themselves to find abstract art interesting.

But even so, Daphne finally came to this town where movies are said to exist. After all, when something keeps going around in your ears, you may really try it out of annoyance.

But Daphne did not have much expectation. She just wanted to see with her own eyes how boring this thing called movie can be.

Chapter 41 Movie Fans

Chapter 41

The movie is really interesting! This was Daphne's only thought after watching "Blessings for a Wonderful World" at Northwick Cinema.

As the only daughter of the Grand Duke of the South, Daphne, who has lived in the Duke's castle since she was a child, has long been tired of watching stage plays that involve singing and dancing. Although the girl still watched the stage plays with great enthusiasm when she was a child, that kind of art is like a puppet on a string. When she grew up, she was no longer willing to watch any form of opera or stage play at banquets, or rather than reading these, she would rather spend time reading chivalric novels brought back by the guards from outside.

The reason is also very simple, that is, the characters in stage plays often appear very unreal. No matter how good the acting skills of the stage actors are, the audience knows that they are always acting and playing a false role. Compared with Under the circumstances, although the story of the novel is scarce in expressiveness, readers can easily get involved in it and firmly believe that the story in the novel really happened somewhere.

Therefore, after learning about the movie, Daphne immediately thought of it as some type of stage play, and thought it was a boring performance that combined all the shortcomings of a stage play.

However, when she actually bought the movie ticket and watched the movie, the girl finally understood that the slap in the face that humans are destined to not escape had also happened to her this time.

Completely contrary to Daphne's thoughts, movies and stage plays are almost between different dimensions. Compared with stage plays that are so fake that you will fall asleep just watching them, movies are as real as a projection of another world.

Daphne, who had always scorned drama, saw such a 'real' performance for the first time! In other words, if it weren't for the last cast list, Daphne wouldn't be able to associate this movie with the word performance!

After watching the movie, Daphne even had the impression that the protagonist and his friends were still performing simple yet fun adventure missions in a certain village at this very moment. As long as you become an adventurer, you might be able to meet them. the illusion.

In the end, Daphne could no longer distinguish the difference between fantasy and reality, or she would rather believe that everything shown in the movie was the real world, and that these characters like living treasures really existed somewhere in the world.

Compared with a stage play that is clearly a fake performance, this thing called a movie seems to project a real world, making the audience involuntarily think that everything that happens in the movie actually exists in this world. somewhere.

In short, after watching "Blessings for a Wonderful World" and unable to hold back laughter because the story was so interesting that her stomach ached, Daphne finally recovered and murmured while looking at the long series of names on the cast list. He murmured: "I didn't expect that the movie would be such an interesting thing. I really want to participate in it..."

After hearing her words, the guard who had been sitting next to the girl and watched the entire movie with her, a woman wearing a cloak to cover her appearance, said quickly: "Miss, I don't want you to be with this person. Contact the crew."

"??Why?"

Regarding Daphne's confusion, the guard just replied silently: "Although ordinary people cannot tell which effects in the movie are real and which are fake, any extraordinary person who has reached a certain level of ability can understand the process of filming this film. The effects are so amazing, both the fourth- and fifth-level magics and the actors themselves are not simple guys.”

"To be more specific? I don't think I will encounter any danger without your protection."

Daphne's words can be said to be quite acknowledging the guard beside her, but after hearing these words, the woman showed a difficult expression, and then said helplessly: "No, although I might have thought so before watching the movie. But when I just saw the skills performed by the headless horseman in the movie, I was convinced that that person was probably the legendary headless horseman himself! In front of this kind of monster, even I couldn't protect the eldest lady! Confidence!”

Obviously, compared to ordinary people who can only watch movies in a happy state, only those with real strength can understand how amazing the production team of this movie is. In fact, this is indeed the case, let alone Du Lin, the youngest big man. Magicians, just the two immortals Beldia and Wiz are beyond the reach of a normal crew.

"The Headless Horseman? I was thinking about it when I was watching the movie. Is the so-called Headless Horseman really a heinous demon? According to legend, wasn't he once a blessed soldier who rushed to the forefront to kill the enemy? Line? It’s too heartless to be hated by everyone just because you became undead.”

Daphne's words are quite treasonous. If someone from the church heard her declaration, they would probably label her an accomplice of the devil on the spot. Of course, Daphne also grew up in the South, a land where the church has the weakest influence. Only then can we have such a view.

The guard who heard these words obviously didn't know how to answer. In the end, he could only say helplessly: "Miss, you are still traveling in this land as a priestess. If the church knows that you are carrying the priesthood, If someone defends the Headless Horseman in his name, he will probably be burned at the stake..."

"Haha, although I believe in the Holy Light, I am not interested in an ancient and pedantic institution like the Church. Compared to the God of Light advocated by the Church, I think Miss Aqua in the story is more divine. And I just noticed that the director of this movie is actually Baron Dulin. I remember seeing him once at a family banquet when I was a child. I don’t think he would be bad for me.”

"...."

Unable to comment on this eldest lady who always speaks without nerves, the guard could not stop him from wanting to meet the film production team in the end, so he could only stand up slowly and said: "Then please, eldest lady, please keep me tight during the meeting. Follow, otherwise if something goes wrong with the eldest lady, I won’t be able to explain it to the Duke.”

"Haha, I knew you would agree, so now let's go meet the owner of this movie theater. By the way, don't inform your father. I don't want this interesting trip to end like this. ”

"Yes, as you wish, Miss..."

Amid the tired look on the guard's face, Daphne stood up with a smile, and suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, help me book another movie ticket. I want to watch it again tomorrow."

"Well, can I book another one for myself? To be honest, I feel a little strange. This movie is completely different from the stage play I watched in the castle before. I can't see the previous stage play. I just want to sleep, but I want to watch this movie again.”

"Haha, of course."

She didn't expect that her very stubborn guard would say such a thing. Daphne couldn't help but smile. She also looked at the posters posted around the cinema again, showing a curious and expectant smile.

Chapter 42 The influence of movies

Chapter 42

A new pub opened across the street from the former Northwick Theater and now the Northwick Cinema. Of course, it is not actually accurate to say that it is a pub. To be precise, it should be the headquarters of Edward Studios.

Of course, the real headquarters is naturally on the second floor. The first floor is just an ordinary pub on the surface.

This land was the property of the Barnier family before it was bought by Dulin to open a tavern. After hearing that Dulin was looking for a place to be the headquarters of the studio, the other party gave this Feng Shui treasure to him without hesitation. Dulin, after all, due to the fact that countless people come and go from the Northwick Cinema every day, the land prices on this street are soaring at a terrifying price. It is almost difficult to buy the one directly opposite the Northwick Cinema if you buy it normally. house.

This shows that Barnier takes the matter of maintaining the relationship with Dulin seriously. In fact, his choice is quite correct. Because of his choice, Dulin finally decided to have a relationship with Nosric Cinema. With long-term cooperation, the chain industry in the future will basically expand based on Northwick Cinema.

In short, after obtaining the store, Dulin quickly transformed the first floor of the headquarters into an ordinary tavern, which is usually used to receive guests coming out of the cinema, so that he can get feedback from the audience as soon as possible. Just like the so-called film review wall, the thoughts of all viewers who have watched "Blessings for a Better World" will reach Dulin's ears immediately.

Due to the occasional appearances by actors like Zateaya, the popularity of this tavern quickly became the most popular hotel in Nosric due to its geographical advantage opposite the cinema, which greatly exceeded Dulin's expectations.

Of course, there is another reason why it is so popular now, and that is that the managers of this tavern are none other than Beldia and Wiz!

Yes, this pair of undead people naturally hope to live a simple and peaceful life after they have had enough of fighting and killing. Although they were still a little confused when Du Lin first asked them to run the hotel. However, when they actually started doing this, they unexpectedly found that they were doing quite well.

Wiz, who was a high-level magician during his lifetime, had a certain degree of control over management, at least in terms of calculations. He was also surprisingly popular as a saleswoman due to his good looks.

Although Beldia does not have a human appearance, and the aura of death on his body is not the type that is easy to approach, but because the people coming out of the cinema are all fans of "Blessings for a Better World", this gang When people first saw Beldia, they did not regard it as a scary monster at all. Instead, they rushed up excitedly and wanted to interact with the big BOSS in the movie.

That's right, due to the existence of the fan filter, these viewers did not regard each other as scary monsters at all. Instead, they liked the headless horseman's chivalrous behavior in the film, so after seeing the real person offline Being completely unable to control his fan behavior made the Headless Horseman, who had never enjoyed such treatment before, suffer for a while before he got used to this state of affairs.

Now the tavern run by the two undead has become the signature of Northric Cinema. Basically everyone has to experience it. After all, when you come to the cinema to watch a movie, you can see the big boss in the movie when you come out. You pour the wine, and the experience is truly royal.

In particular, the true identity of this big BOSS is still a super strong person of the sixth level. If he knew it, he could boast about it for a year and a half, even though most people don't know it.

In short, under such circumstances, the fact that Edward Studios was opened on the second floor of the tavern was inevitably leaked. After all, it was not just Ayazat and his gang of actors who went to the second floor every day, but even Baniel came here from time to time. Normal people could see the problem with this tavern.

However, with two top-level undead guards and Durin himself being a great magician, no one dared to do anything without eyes. Even if some magicians wanted to explore the situation on the second floor, a retired big boss would interrupt the opponent's spell with a righteous elbow strike under the terrifying intuition of the super sixth-level swordsman, and then easily throw him into the nearby Joy Street through the back door.

After such things happened more and more, people with a little bit of brains would not do anything small, or for real fans, just being able to see the actors appear in reality is an extremely pleasant thing.

......

On the second floor of the tavern of Edward Studios, when Durin's pen fell the last word, he breathed a sigh of relief and stood up.

Although there were all kinds of noise coming from the pub downstairs, Du Lin, as a great magician, could still easily block out these extra noises. For a real great magician, you can still sit down and enter a meditative state even in the vegetable market.

This is the difference in people's essential talents, and this is also the most fundamental reason why the number of great magicians is much less than that of high-level magicians.

After loosening his muscles a little, Du Lin sorted out the script of the new movie in his hand and carefully put it away. Then he walked to the window and admired the grand scene at the door of the cinema opposite.

It has been about a week since the premiere of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World". In this short week, the emerging industry called film has become rapidly popular, and the money-making effect brought by the new industry has also increased at a visible speed.

Especially because Du Lin originally targeted the general public, these days, the news of this movie has spread farther and farther. Even in the surrounding villages and nearby towns, people often come from afar just to see what kind of magical thing the movie is, making those who have seen it unable to control themselves like a demon. As for then...then, they also become unable to control themselves.

In short, with the support of such a large group of viewers, the box office of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing to a Better World" soon broke through the mark of one thousand gold coins, and this growth rate will not decline in the next few months, but will only get higher and higher, because at present, there are still a large number of local residents in Northrick who have not watched the movie. This part of the potential audience will be captured little by little by the rising public opinion in the next period of time, and finally slowly become new audiences.

The most important thing is that the Adventurer's Guild and the Northrick Cinema have decided to promote the movie. The purpose of this move is naturally to expand the industry and expand the audience's radiation range from Northrick to the entire southern border. At that time, millions of people in the southern border will become the audience of the movie!

By that time, the wealth brought by movies will be far more than the current thousands.

As for the Southern Adventurers Guild, which has obtained the agency rights, the idea is also very clear. Next, they will contact the theaters in all the towns in the entire Southern Territory little by little, asking them whether they are willing to play the movie. If they agree, it will be the best, and everyone will make money together. If they refuse, they have already prepared for the response, that is, the open-air broadcast mentioned by Du Lin before.

It can be said that the open-air broadcast is almost equivalent to tearing the face with the local forces. After all, the entertainment form of movies will directly lead to a sharp decline in the audience of the original stage plays and operas. If they cannot change in line with the trend of the times, then these old industries will usher in a devastating blow.

At that time, the contradictions and frictions caused by this will not be few, so the Adventurers Guild still does not want to do this unless it is absolutely necessary, but if they can't convince those old theaters in the end, then for the benefit of the Adventurers Guild, they don't mind doing it, after all, everything is for profit.

If you hinder my development, then sorry, please go to hell.

It's that simple.

Although it sounds a bit cruel, it is the truth. In this war without gunpowder, being kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself, and no one will give in.

Chapter 43 "Goblin Slayer"

Chapter 43

When Du Lin walked down from the second floor, the tavern was already crowded with people. This tavern that could barely accommodate forty or fifty people was crowded at this time, and the tall figure of the headless knight was easily captured by Du Lin.

The other party was diligently completing the work of a clerk at this moment. Although the tavern has now recruited new waiters, the undead knight seems to like the feeling of being a bartender. Standing at the bar is a dazzling scenery.

For these guests who have watched "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World", the feeling of drinking the wine handed over by the headless knight in the bar is like seeing a real Gundam handing you a balloon in an amusement park.

In this regard, Du Lin, who did not want to disturb the other party, turned around and planned to leave through the back door. After all, he had agreed to bring the new movie script to the guild leader of the Northern Adventurers Guild.

However, at this moment, Wiz, who squeezed out of the crowd, suddenly stopped him and said softly after approaching him: "Mr. Dulin, there is someone who wants to find you."

"Looking for me? I seem to have said that I won't see anyone during this period."

Regarding Dulin's confusion, Wiz just said quickly: "I'm not very clear about this. I heard from Viscount Barnier. It is said that the identity of the person who wants to see Mr. Dulin this time is not that simple. He needs you." Come forward in person.”

"Isn't the identity simple?"

This was the first time he encountered this situation. After thinking about it, Du Lin said: "Then let's call him to the second floor. This kind of business cooperation will be treated as a business cooperation. If there is any similar business cooperation in the future, we will inform everyone first." I asked the guests to go to the second floor.”

........

After waiting for a while on the second floor, Du Lin soon waited for the so-called guest. What surprised him was that the guest was a little girl, a girl with a special temperament wearing a priest's uniform. girl.

To be honest, the first time he saw the other party, Du Lin thought that someone from the church was coming. After all, the headless horseman and ghosts in the movie are existences that the church has explicitly persecuted. At this time, a priest suddenly came to see him. Myself, 90% of it is the church that is going to cause trouble.

As if aware of Du Lin's misunderstanding, the girl walking in front said quickly: "You misunderstood, Mr. Du Lin, I am not a believer of the God of Light. I wear this priest uniform purely to conceal my identity. Let me introduce myself first." Come on, I’m Daphne Victor, the daughter of the Duke of Southland.”

"Oh...oh! That's it, Miss Daphne, to be honest, I was almost ready to take action just now..."

This is no wonder Du Lin. After all, Du Lin is very aware of the horrors of religious lunatics. If this was not the southern border, he would have put up a sign at the door of the tavern saying "Church personnel and dogs are not allowed" as soon as the movie was broadcast. .

When Dulin calmed down, he realized that he seemed to have seen the girl in front of him. It was at Archduke Victor's banquet a few years ago. Dulin, who only attended such an occasion, met this girl at that time. The girl standing next to Archduke Victor, although she didn't say a word from beginning to end, this cute girl with a special temperament always occupied the attention of the audience.

Of course, recalling what he heard from Roy about the other party running away from home, he suddenly couldn't understand the reason why the other party came to him at this time.

So, after thinking about it, facing Daphne who was wiping cold sweat because of what he just said, Dulin said slowly: "So, does Miss Daphne have anything to do with me, an ordinary baron?"

Although Dulin knew that Archduke Victor had always wanted to take him under his command, he did not think that the Archduke's daughter would come with any impure purpose.

After all, as a great magician, he has the ability to read minds without a teacher. He can roughly understand what kind of person the other person is just through his eyes.

In his eyes, this girl named Daphne is just a blank piece of paper, a blank piece of paper that has not been filled with too many colors. To be honest, if the other person's identity was not so special, he would have wanted to recruit her as an actor. , after all, such uncut jade is quite precious.

After hearing what Du Lin said, Daphne didn't show any concern and said directly: "Mr. Du Lin is humbled. Well, although it is a bit abrupt, if possible, I hope to participate in Mr. Du Lin's next movie." ”

"Oh, a movie...poof! What?! A movie?"

She never expected that a dignified daughter of a duke would tell her that she wanted to make a movie. Before Du Lin, who felt that this space suddenly became a little unrealistic, could react, Daphne quickly said: "Yes, Du Lin Mr. Lin, no, Director Du Lin, I had this idea after watching "Blessings for a Better World". Compared with boring stage plays, this kind of performance that seems to deliberately experience a second life is really too It got me interested.”

Regarding the girl's sudden appearance in front of him, he really didn't know what to say to this child who felt a little naive for some reason. Du Lin said helplessly: "So that's it. It's okay about this, but you still need to go through my experience." Assessment.”

He didn't expect that ready-made actors would come to his door. For Du Lin, what he lacked at the moment was actors, especially the main actors who he could catch at a glance. Although the daughter of the Duke in front of him had obviously never acted. , the performance may be very green, but Du Lin needs her to play a role full of such a green feeling, not to mention that the other party's appearance also meets Du Lin's requirements.

Therefore, the two parties hit it off immediately, and Dulin and Daphne agreed to conduct an actor's interview the next day, and the meeting place would be this pub.
