Don't call me Master, call me Director

Putting a piece of steak into his mouth, Youzhu sighed helplessly.

Shinji didn't know that a girl was sighing at his interpretation of the maid's outfit at this moment, otherwise he would have laughed out loud.

What is a maid outfit?He also knows more about priestess costumes, policewoman play, beast ear girls, competitive swimsuits...etc.

In the matter of XP system, Shen Er has never been a specialist, but the famous line of Teacher Xu: I want it all!

However, compared to understanding her idol's preferences on the XP system, Yuzhu still cares more about Shen Er's research results on magic.

As the saying goes, don't forget the original intention and keep the mission in mind, so as to be consistent.

Youzhu will always remember why she fell in love with Matou Shinji, and only Matou Shinji, who is constantly improving in magic research, is worthy of her idol.

After the main film of "Magical Girl☆Illya" ended today, Youzhu and her friends saw a peripheral advertisement of "Magical Girl☆Illya".

The product introduced in the ad is the Ruby magic wand of the PROPLICA series that Qingzi never forgets.

According to the introduction and demonstration of the ad, Youzhuan understood the gameplay and highlights of this toy, and therefore had doubts.

The gameplay highlighted in the advertisement is that the top of the staff can be deformed arbitrarily, allowing the top of the staff to change into blades, gun barrels and so on.

From Youzhu's point of view, the wand's transformation function looks awesome, but it's actually nothing.

With the eyesight of her heir to the Kuonji family, it is natural to see that the material of the staff is the magic slime developed by Shinji Matou.

This magic dress technology, which was born out of the El-Melloi family's moon spirit marrow liquid dress, has been improved by Matou Shinji, and its practicality has been greatly enhanced.

Although due to the change of the material, the combat ability of the costume named slime by Matou Shinji has been greatly reduced.

However, its super plasticity and the characteristics that are more convenient for magicians to control make it more cost-effective.

Even Youzhu himself uses slimes as his assistants when conducting magic research.

Applying slime to toys seems unbelievable to ordinary people, but a magician like Youzhu doesn't think it's a big deal at all.

At most, he would marvel at how Shinji Matou managed the magical power to control slimes.

What really puzzled Yuju was Aoko's reference to the transformative feat of magic singing before the series premiered.

After reading the entire advertisement, Youzhu hardly saw any content related to magic chanting, except for the voice-activated gameplay of the toy wand.

According to the advertisement, after the player asks the wand to record his own voice, the toy will be processed through technology, and then the wand can automatically generate and play various transformation lines—with the player’s voice.

Even though the ad was about the latest computerized sound processing technology, Yuju knew it was definitely a magic trick.

She is no longer the electronic novice who knew nothing about the modern society of ordinary people a few years ago.

With the current technology, it is possible to process and generate language after obtaining the sound material, but what is produced is just pure video material of ghosts and animals.

The character of the electronic sound is very obvious, and it is definitely not as natural as demonstrated in the advertisement.

It's just that, if you know it, you know how Matou Shinji will use this technology to achieve the transformation of magic singing technology.

Youzhu thought about it too much and didn't know.

"Do you want to ask me directly?"

Youzhu, who seemed to be scratched by a kitten, took out her mobile phone and opened the communication software to take a look.

Relying on his identity as the head of Matou Shinji's fan club, Youzhu left a message for Shinji, asking about the specific core of the sound processing technology.

Youzhu believes that as long as she understands how the spell works, she will be able to guess what Matou Shinji wants to do with her intelligence.

It's a pity that Matou Shinji hasn't replied to himself since sending the message.

Based on what Youzhu knew about the magician director, he was probably stuck in work.

"Hmm...I finally returned to China, where did you go again?"

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

What did Shinji do?

He went to filming.

After returning from Italy, he left the publicity work of "Severn X" to Cloris - Time Group is an absolute veteran in releasing such award-winning films, and he himself is with several members of the "Empty Realm" crew. A staff member went to Guanbuzi City.

In the following week, under the leadership of the locals, Shen Er carefully browsed the stage where the story of "Kingdom of the Sky" took place, and focused on understanding the specific conditions of the city.

Shen Er did not find the Ogawa Apartment, a landmark building in Guanbuzi City, nor did he find a girl named Wu Tiao Wu Hui in the local hospital, nor did he meet a monk who was obsessed with the root cause here.

Similarly, because Chengzi did not come to this city, naturally there is no office called Jialan's Hall.

The Qiangami family is still developing in this city, but the Qiangami family declined earlier than in the timeline of "King Realm", so it was not annexed by its own branch family, and it can be regarded as retaining the last dignity of the fallen nobles.

Naturally, the head of the Asakami family did not adopt the girl named Fujino.

Shen Er chatted with the head of the family, and told him that he would use the two surnames [Asakami] and [Asakami] in the movie.

This man, who is not in the magic circle, but yearns for the magic circle, immediately said: "It is my greatest honor to be the dog of the Matou family."

Pooh!

It's "It's the greatest honor of my Asakami family to be the material of Director Matou." That's right.

Well, yes, that's it.

After leaving Asakami's home, Shen Er and several accompanying staff members exchanged views on setting up and on-site shooting.

It was finally determined that the exterior scenes and long-range scenes in the movie were shot here, and the interior scenes and some close-up scenes were placed in the studio in Fuyuki City.

Whether the shooting cost can be saved is second to none. The main reason is that the equipment and personnel in Fuyuki City are more complete, which can save a lot of trouble in preparation work.

When they returned to Fuyuki City, the crew was holding the first large-scale audition, and Cheng Zi and Medea were temporarily in charge of this aspect, and Shinji would only participate in the second audition for a few main characters.

In fact, under the premise that several main roles have been decided, the remaining roles are not very important, so Shen Er is too lazy to focus on these supporting roles.

There is still a lot of work to be done in film preparation, and there are more things that he needs to personally check, such as character props.

This is not just a movie prop, because there is a plan for commercial development, Shinji also has to consider the possibility of these props being commercialized and pushed to the market in the future.

Therefore, even if it is not like how the Ultraman crew first determines how to sell toys, and then designs the project with toys as the starting point, Shinji must consider in advance how to sell the props in the movie.

The first is the dagger of the two rituals. Shirou and Hong A took out several versions of concept sketches and samples, but they were all rejected by Shinji.

"Red A, you have to know, from now on, you will be selling toys."

Standing in the conference room, Shen Er pointed to the projection screen and said to Red A.

"Although these versions are different, they are all too common. What I want is a highly recognizable dagger, not an ordinary killing tool."

"How can a serious murderer make fancy weapons?"

Red A frowned and complained.

However, he also knew Shen Er's thoughts, so while complaining, he still modified the prop design.

Shen Er emphasized the design concept of the two ritual weapons: "My ideal dagger is a product that combines low-key and gorgeous. You can see it as a hybrid of Excalibur and Hassan's throwing dagger."

"Does it still have a knife?"

Red A's eyebrows twitched twice, his expression was as uncomfortable as eating engraved worms.

Shen Er knew that this was a bit difficult, but he couldn't help it.

There are too few things in the story of "Empty Realm" that can be used as selling points, and there are only a few things he can think of.

The kimono for the two ceremonies is a good choice, but the clothes are too expensive, and few people buy them.

Heitong Ganye and Chengzi's glasses can be co-branded with glasses manufacturers, but glasses are really unidentifiable, let alone Qianye and Chengzi are not the protagonists.

After much deliberation, the weapon of the two ceremonies - the dagger will be more selling point.

So regardless of how the dagger is described in the original book "Sky Realm", in Shen Er's version, it must be the exclusive weapon of the two rituals.

With the official approval of the film project, Shen Er has completely entered the working state, which is different from the relative ease when filming "Magical Girl☆Illya" before.

"Kingdom Realm: Residual Pain" has a huge investment, and it is the key to the success of the "Kingkong" series.

So Shen Er treats this movie with the attitude and seriousness of treating FA.

As a Japanese-style supernatural movie, it is not easy for "Sky Realm" to become a super-popular series like Fate, and all the work must not be sloppy.

This is also Shen Er's consistent attitude. He is a professional in making movies, so he has to go all out.

The production of FSN and FZ told Shen Er that the gap between the film and television works you have watched and the works you have seen are filmed, not to mention the difference, at least it is not as different as you rowing the bathtub with your hands. How much simpler is the Yangtze River.

Because of the busy preparatory work of "Kingdom", Shen Er temporarily put aside the post-production work of FA and left it to the editor to make rough cuts first.

And Shen Er himself began to personally review and inspect the progress reports on the various preparatory work for the "Empty Realm" movie that were placed on his desk.

After all, he is the director who controls the overall situation. If he doesn't understand the progress of the preliminary preparations and even every detail of the preparations, Shen Er may not even know when to shoot.

Although Shen Er handed over the work to his deputies such as Cheng Zi and the little secretary for the details, but the final review of the project must be done by himself, otherwise he would be dismissed as the director.

In addition to reviewing the preparatory work, Shen Er also went to the set in Fuyuki City, where a special studio was newly opened to build the parking lot under the bridge where the film's final battle was held.

According to Shen Er's plan, the parking lot used for shooting is about 80 meters long, 40 meters high and 15 meters high.

It's a small space by parking lot standards, but it's more than adequate for a filming set.

While building the parking lot, the studio also installed 12 large blowers and 4 water pumps to simulate the typhoon weather outside during the war.

Although the two women were fighting indoors, what kind of big-budget movie is this if they don't destroy the fighting venue?

Another thing that will be taken care of in the decisive battle is the car in the parking lot, which must also be the target of damage by the two women.

However, because there may be car brands to sponsor in the future, Shen Er is not in a hurry to let the prop team make prop cars.

While Shen Er was busy with the "Sky Realm" series, another film and television project related to him was also ready to be approved.

After several exchanges, Weber finally relented and agreed with Shinji to produce a series with him as the protagonist: "Elmello II Case Book".

In order to maintain the popularity of the Fate series, Shen Er's current plan is to have at least one movie and one series every year in the coming time.

The task of this year's series is handed over to "Magical Girl☆Illya", next year's movie is handed over to FA, and the task of the series is handed over to "Event Book".

Shen Er wanted to be Fha at the beginning, but thinking about the frequent appearances of those on FSN in the past two years, Shen Er felt that it would be better to use Weber to change the taste of the audience first.

Of course, Weber himself will definitely not have time to come to the crew to play him, so Shen Er still needs to find an actor to play the first stomachache man in the clock tower.

But what Shen Er didn't expect was that Weber didn't come to play the male lead, and the female lead he appointed didn't even intend to participate in this drama.

"I didn't think the series was interesting, and my character was not suitable for the effeminate girl. So I refused to audition."

Arturia Alter said to Shinji.

This is another appreciation meeting within Xingyue Company, and the biggest reason why Shen Er took time out of his busy schedule to eat, drink and watch programs with everyone is because of the two knights, Ms. Wang, in front of him.

Arturia. Alter and Artoria, both of them turned down the role of the heroine Grey in "The Case Book".

Chapter 310 Artoria: I want to play the queen!

Hearing Miss Alter's refusal, Shinji didn't show any anger.

Because Ms. Alter was not his No.1 choice, compared to Alter, who only has hair color similar to Gray, Shinji's first candidate for this role has always been Altria.

So Shinji picked up the wine glass (soda water in it), touched Alter lightly, and then nodded slightly.

"Since Alter, you have no idea of ​​participating in the show, then please do your clerical work well."

Hearing Shinji's words, Ms. Alter, who was drinking, frowned.

"Don't call me that."

Alter hates that others only call herself Alter, which makes her feel like Artoria's appendage.

However, Shen Er, who has always been thick-skinned, didn't realize it at all, but raised his eyebrows at Alter with a glass of soda water.

"Humph~"

Alter snorted heavily, then quickly got up and left.

"Tsk tsk, her temper is still so irritable. She really exists with you and has two sides."

After the other party walked away, Shen Er looked at Arturia Benya, with a little joke on his face.

"Master, do you know it's wrong to play with girls like this?"

Arturia shook her head slightly, her expression became very calm.

Shen Er's slightly provocative words did not have the slightest influence on her.

"Master, your aggressive method is too childish, it doesn't arouse my interest at all."

Artoria said as she opened a bag of potato chips, and ate them without any image scruples.
