I'm shooting anime in another world

Joseph is an ordinary young man. Like most young people in Northrick, he had all kinds of dreams in his childhood and wanted to become a hero that could be praised by bards. However, under the dual pressure of family pressure and cruel reality, he had to become a staff member of the Northrick Grand Theater under the relationship of his family.

As usual, he came to the Grand Theater to work at night today, but what was different from the past was that today's Grand Theater looked different from the past. Not only was the stage for performances moved directly outside the door, but the decorations and props that Viscount Barnier used to pay much attention to were also thrown at the door like garbage.

For such a situation, just when he thought that the Grand Theater might go bankrupt, the lively scene at the door of the theater made him wipe his eyes in disbelief.

"What is this? I remember that there has been no troupe coming recently."

Joseph's confusion was also the confusion of the staff around him. These people who were only on night shift today because of the scheduling problem had no idea what happened during the day. After the head of the shift called their names, a group of people belatedly began to guide the chaotic crowd to line up.

Then, after observing the crowd, Joseph was surprised to find that the people queuing at the door were not the noble ladies and upper-class people who loved to watch stage plays in the past, but the common people who would never come to the theater in the past!

When these ordinary people who had nothing to do with the word art were chatting lively at the door of the theater at this moment, Joseph also heard from them that the Northrick Theater seemed to be holding an unprecedented performance tonight, and the name of the performance seemed to be a movie called "Blessings for a Better World".

Joseph, who had never heard of such a strange thing, found an unexpected situation after a deeper understanding. He saw that the tickets of the Northrick Theater, which used to cost at least five silver coins, were now uniformly changed to five copper coins each, and the distinction between first-class and second-class tickets in the past was completely erased. It seemed that everyone in the town was going to appreciate this new form of performance.

This unprecedented situation made Joseph feel unbelievable. Driven by curiosity, he quietly got a ticket to watch the show as a staff member, and then took advantage of the vacancy in the schedule to sneak into the theater with the first batch of ticketed audiences.

Although Joseph had always had this opportunity to sneak into the theater in the past, he really couldn't understand the stage play, and even fell asleep while watching it, so he never watched any stage play again after watching it once.

However, this time, looking at the big words "movie ticket" written on the ticket, Joseph couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart, and found his seat as soon as possible.

Chapter 37 Unprepared

Chapter 37

In the cinema, when the broadcast of "KonoSuba: A Better World" ended and the magic crystal on the top of the hall slowly lit up, the laughter in the entire cinema was still lingering.

Just now, when the protagonist was in agony because he owed 40 million, the cinema burst into amazing laughter. It can be said that the audience who laughed from beginning to end reached a certain emotional peak at the last moment, and the laughter that had been continuous before burst to the climax.

"Oh my god, this is so funny. This is the first time I've seen such an interesting story. It ended so hastily. There should be a sequel!"

"Yeah, and that girl is obviously a goddess, why is she so useless? The most important thing is that she should be very useful, why is she so useless!"

"What the hell is that explosion magic that can only be used once a day?! Are there such weird magicians in this world?"

"That masochistic female knight is actually a little cute..."

"If I were the protagonist, I would have been driven crazy a long time ago, hahaha."

"In comparison, I think the headless knight is a positive character. The undead with such chivalry was defeated by the protagonist and his despicable means..."

"......."

All kinds of emotions burst out at the end of the film. As the first audience to see this movie, they obviously have a lot of words to say to those who haven't watched the movie yet. At this moment, they still want to stay where they are and savor it, but they don't plan to waste too much time and plan to leave quickly.

However, just as they were about to leave, the video screen that was originally showing the credits suddenly changed again, and a small monster store suddenly appeared on the screen.

On the screen, all kinds of monsters in the entire monster store were displayed on it, and some sharp-eyed viewers had already recognized that some of the monsters in it were exactly the same as the monsters in the movie "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on a Beautiful World".

As expected, with the slightly hasty appearance of the store manager Lawrence, he was stunned for a moment, and then said awkwardly in a slightly awkward way: "Good news, good news, Lawrence Monster Store and the movie "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on a Beautiful World" have begun to cooperate. Do you want to hug the slime that appears in the movie with your own hands? Do you want to interact closely with cute monsters? If you are interested in monsters, welcome to Lawrence Monster Store to buy them. The address is........"

Since Du Lin is not good at designing this kind of advertising copy, Lawrence's advertising design is quite similar to the lines of a large power generation user on a certain website.

Although it didn’t have the brainwashing appeal of “If you are a brother, come to XXX” that is inserted in modern video websites, for people in this world who have never been exposed to advertisements, no matter how simple the advertisement design is, they were immediately attracted!

As the image of the monster shop on the screen gradually disappeared, the audience who stayed in place suddenly fell into a boiling excitement.

“He just said that the monsters in the movie can be bought!!”

“Really? I suddenly think that slime is so cute. I really want to buy one to raise!”

“Now that you mention it, I wanted to buy a monster before!”

Driven by the atmosphere, the people present became interested in monsters. Although some people knew that Lawrence’s monster shop had been rumored to have hurt people before, they all followed the trend at this moment as if they had selectively forgotten.

And soon, after seeing the last picture freeze on an advertisement for recruiting adventurers for the Southern Adventurer Guild, all the audience left the theater with various emotions.

.......

The movie was over, and even the audience had almost left, but Joseph, who stayed there, didn't come back to his senses for a long time. For Joseph, this one and a half hours simply overturned his outlook on life!

From the beginning to the end of the movie, he seemed to follow the ordinary but thoughtful protagonist in the movie to complete the entire adventure. Although the whole story of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World" was very absurd and nonsensical, for Joseph, it was the life he dreamed of but couldn't get!

"Damn, what have I been doing all these years......."

The smile gradually faded. Although he laughed heartlessly like the people around him when watching the movie, when he really reviewed the whole movie, Joseph suddenly found that the protagonist before the time travel in the story was exactly the same as him now.

There are things that he wants to do but he is unwilling to do them. There are things that are worth looking forward to but he dare not complete them. Every day he just listens to others and does things that are repeated countless times...

Compared to the protagonist in the story who lives happily despite the pain after traveling through time, he only feels that he is very stupid and sad for living such a boring life.

"I really want to be an adventurer..."

What came out of his mouth were the words that he repeated countless times in his childhood. The desire that Joseph had when he first saw the heroic figure of the adventurer in the story picture book gradually disappeared after the passing of time, but now it has surged up again after watching the movie "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World".

I want to end such a boring life, I want to make my life more exciting, I want to live a messy but exciting life like the protagonist in the story, I want to... become an adventurer!

All of a sudden, as if knowing his inner thoughts, the advertisement of the Adventurer's Guild on the screen appeared in front of him. The slogans such as "Do you want to change your life?", "Do you want to live a wonderful and interesting life?", "Do you want to find your dream?", etc., which hit Joseph's chest directly, made him feel an irresistible impulse. At the same time, Joseph, who recalled the plot of "KonoSuba: A Beautiful World", slowly clenched his fists, and then walked out of the theater with determination.

On this day, the South Territory lost a theater staff member, and gained an adventurer who made a living by adventure and fed on dreams.

At the same time, standing on the third floor of the theater, Du Lin, who had been paying attention to the premiere to prevent problems from occurring in this premiere, was satisfied with the audience who left the theater happily.

He had found a seat since the beginning of the movie, and looked forward to the performance of the audience. As he expected, the story of "KonoSuba: A Beautiful World" hit the funny points of the people in this world. The laughter in the theater almost never stopped throughout the movie.

In this way, with such a successful premiere as a starting point, as long as the audience who have seen the film continue to spread it, it won't be long before Northrick and even the entire South Territory will be circulated with topics about "KonoSuba: A Wonderful World" and movies for a long time.

Chapter 38 Adventurer Guild

Chapter 38

In the next few days, the reputation of "KonoSuba: A Wonderful World" skyrocketed in Northrick, and it became a household name in just a short time.

While almost every street and alley was discussing the story of "KonoSuba: A Wonderful World", this new performance form of the movie was also spread to a terrifying degree, letting the whole Northrick know that the Northrick Grand Theater was broadcasting this new form of film.

At the same time, the movie flyers produced by the Northrick Grand Theater were also circulating in the streets and alleys. Whether it was the gatehouse of the tavern or the square alley, you could see or hear its existence.

In Northrick, people are always talking about "KonoSuba: God's Blessing" and movies. Having watched "KonoSuba: God's Blessing" has even become a well-known achievement in the social circle. Often, those who have had the opportunity to watch the movie in the Northrick Theater will have a group of people surrounding them in the tavern, asking about the movie.

People who have never watched the movie are counting the time for the invoice at the Nosric Theater every day, and go to Nosric to buy it as soon as the invoice is issued. In the end, it even directly derived from the movie that was stuck in the theater one night earlier. At the invoice counter, there are people queuing up day and night.

Thanks to scalpers, an industry related to ticket sales, no one has thought of it in a short period of time, otherwise it would really cause a commotion all over the city.

........

Northric, Adventurers' Guild.

Sitting in the lounge on the second floor of the Adventurer's Guild, Dulin took the tea from the leader of the Southern Adventurer's Guild in front of him, looked at the lively scene outside the window, and said involuntarily: "This is really amazing. The registration counter of the Adventurer Guild has almost been breached in the past two days, and this is just the beginning. The number of adventurers in the Southern Territory will probably increase at an unimaginable speed."

Hearing Du Lin's words, the guild leader just smiled and replied: "Thanks to the movies and advertisements you made, Mr. Du Lin. Although I already thought of this situation the moment I saw the movie, the fact remains. It exceeded my expectations. The impact of the movie on people far exceeded my imagination. I heard that even many magicians hidden in the southern region have joined the Adventurer's Guild. I didn't expect that even the extraordinary magicians would not. I can’t resist the charm of movies..."

"Haha, after all, magicians are still human beings, and no human being can resist the charm of movies. I believe that if the movie "Blessings for a Better World" spreads to the imperial capital, then the Adventurer Guild will have a large number of original members. You’re a magician who likes to stay at home, and I guess there will be more Chuunibyou throwing fireballs with their staffs.”

Although the tone was joking, there was nothing joking about Dulin's expression.

The guild leader who understood what Du Lin meant showed a funny expression, and then changed the subject and asked: "Viscount Barnier has become accustomed to a series of processes introduced by this new form of performance in movies, but even so The supply is still somewhat in short supply, and a movie theater that can accommodate about fifty people is really a drop in the bucket compared to a town with tens of thousands of people. "

After hearing his words, Du Lin, who had been thinking about this problem for a long time, slowly replied: "I have prepared the copied imaging crystal. It will be put into use after Barnier's expansion of the theater is completed. The schedule is also ready, so at least for a short time there is no need to worry about people not being able to buy tickets.”

Dulin has taught the method of imaging crystal projection to several trainee magicians under Barnier. This kind of work that can be completed as long as there is magic power is quite suitable for those rookie mages who cannot even reach the elementary level, but even so , Du Lin has also started to make imaging crystal switches that can be used by ordinary people. After all, he has not given up the plan to sell DVDs yet.

As for Du Lin's answer, the guild leader who had already heard about it just said silently: "That's good. By the way, I heard Viscount Barnier say before that Lord Du Lin plans to cooperate with him to create a specialized industrial chain. ?”

"Well, I have submitted an application to Nosric Industrial and Commercial Industry. Although it is an emerging industry, it was approved with the support of Viscount Barnier. Then you can officially call me Director Dulin. The company I work for plans to be named Edward Film and Television Studios, and by the way, the Northwick Theater has now been officially renamed Northwick Cinema!”

Du Lin had a thick smile on his face when he spoke, but the guild leader did not dare to neglect him. He immediately said: "Congratulations to Director Du Lin. In this case, the next new movie will probably be released soon." If there is a chance, I would also like to try for a role."

"Barnier also said this to me before, but now that Edward Film and Television Studio has become a formal industry, the recruitment of actors must also be based on formal auditions. If the time comes, Guild Master, you can really pass the audition. If so, I wouldn’t mind you playing a certain role.”

Du Lin's answer was very official, and at the same time, it was a polite refusal. The guild leader of the Southern Adventurers Guild didn't mind it too much. He just said slowly: "In any case, the future development of the Southern Adventurers Guild will be thanks to you. With help, Director Dulin.”

"It's just mutual benefit."

Regarding Du Lin's dull attitude, the guild leader suddenly said: "By the way, there is one thing I want to tell you, Mr. Du Lin. I previously submitted the report on the investment in the movie you directed to the Empire. The headquarters of the Adventurer's Guild originally just wanted to do business, and people who didn't know it would not be interested in movies. However, unexpectedly, that person actually found me after seeing the report I submitted, and He seems to be very interested in movies."

"That person?"

Hearing Du Lin's question, the guild leader just showed an embarrassed expression, and then said: "He is the guild leader who has the same status as me and controls the entire Northern Adventurer Guild. And unlike the Southern Territory, people like me are only slightly more powerful. A merchant with money can become a guild leader. The ecology of the North is completely dominated by the jungle. To be able to take the position of guild leader in a place like that, her strength and identity are definitely not simple. "

Yes, it is completely different from the Southern Territory. The Northern Territory borders on the undeveloped dark realm, so the adventurers there have to fight various monsters, Warcraft, and the Undead every day. Therefore, compared with the average level one or two The Adventurers' Guild in the South, the adventurers in the North are more strictly segmented, and those who reach the level of the leader of the Adventurer's Guild in that place must be at least one of the top figures in the empire.

Although Du Lin didn't know why the other party, a transcendent person, would care about the movie he made half the empire away, but since the other party was interested, Du Lin had no idea of ​​rejecting it.

"When will we meet?"

In response to Du Lin's inquiry, the guild leader just said helplessly: "Well, she came over immediately after hearing about the incident. I'm afraid she should be watching a movie in the cinema now. I'm afraid she will come to see her later." You.”

Chapter 39 New Movie

Chapter 39

Hearing what the guild leader said, Du Lin didn't expect that the guild leader of the Northern Adventurers Guild would arrive so quickly. Du Lin quickly wanted to get up and go see him. But he didn't expect that the moment he got up, the door to the room slowly opened. Open it, and then a graceful figure slowly walks in from the outside.

She was a tall beauty with dazzling blond hair and a slim figure. Although it was a bit subtle to say this, in fact, anyone who saw such a dazzling woman would use such a description.

Seeing Du Lin's surprise, the leader of the Southern Territory Guild said quickly: "Well, let me introduce, this is the Guild Master of the Northern Territory Adventurers Guild, Ms. Alyssa David."

Hearing the words of the Guild Master of the South, the woman named Alyssa showed a questioning expression, and Dulin quickly replied: "Hello, I am Dulin Edward, the author of "Blessings for a Beautiful World" The film’s writer and director.”

Seeing that the other party revealed her identity, Alyssa also lifted the hem of her skirt a little, walked slowly to Du Lin, nodded and said: "I have admired my name for a long time, whether it is as the youngest great magician, or in movies. I admire you so much as a director of this new thing.”

Unexpectedly, the leader of the Adventurer's Guild in the North faced him with such a serious attitude. This made Dulin, who was used to laughing and joking, unable to come back to his senses. After being stiff for a moment, he said instinctively. : "I didn't expect that the guild leader in the North would be interested in movies. Can I ask why you came to the South specifically? It's impossible to really just watch a movie."

Although there are convenient tools like teleportation arrays between cities and towns in this world, due to the high loss and high price of teleportation arrays, ordinary people cannot afford to use them. Only the real big shots, like the two in front of us, Only those at the guild master level can use it, and even ordinary nobles are not qualified to use it.

In this regard, it seemed that Du Lin was not used to such a restrained way of communication. The beautiful woman in front of him suddenly sat down on the ground in a slightly unsightly posture. Seeing Du Lin's surprise, she just smiled and replied : "I can tell, Director Dulin, you don't seem to like the way of communication between nobles. In fact, I personally hate that kind of formal atmosphere. Compared with drinking afternoon tea in the castle with a fake smile, I I still prefer simple communication methods between adventurers.”

"Are you also an adventurer?"

Now Du Lin finally understood. Although the blond beauty in front of him looked aristocratic, it was obvious that this was just an illusion caused by her appearance. There was no doubt that she was a real adventurer at heart.

After hearing his words, Alyssa just nodded lightly and said: "I was an adventurer before I was qualified for the position of guild leader. The North is different from here. Only those who stand out from countless adventurers can serve as guild leader. position, and I was lucky enough to take over the position of guild leader because my rank and adventurer level were relatively high.”

"Can I ask your rank?"

"Haha, it's not that high. Compared to Director Du Lin, you became a great magician at a young age, but it took me more than ten years to barely reach the level of a sword master."

Although Alyssa was very calm when she said this, it was obviously impossible for Dulin and the Southern Guild Leader to calm down. After all, although the swordsman's rank was the same as the magician's, it was the sixth level, but due to the swordsman's Since no one has reached the sixth level yet, the current fifth level sword master is the pinnacle of swordsmen.

Unexpectedly, there was a top-ranking man in the empire sitting in front of him. While the leader of the Southern Adventurers Guild felt a certain sense of gap, Du Lin, who was the first to react next to him, also continued to ask: "So your Purpose?"

"Ah, I almost forgot."

Alyssa, who showed a confused side that was completely different from her appearance, said quickly: "I have already enjoyed the movie you made, Director Dulin. To be honest, it is very exciting, although the things shown in it are obviously closer to the southern border." adventurer, but as a former adventurer, I am also very touched. Even after watching it, I had the urge to pick up the sword again and go back to being an unknown adventurer. Of course, this has nothing to do with the purpose of my coming. After all, I came here purely for the technology of movies, but I didn’t expect that the script directed by Du Lin was so excellent..."

Alyssa didn't hide anything. She simply said that she came for the film technology. Dulin, who heard this, just said helplessly: "Although I am very happy that you will like this film." , but I cannot hand over the film technology for the time being. Unless the empire establishes a standardized patent system later, I will not be able to hand over the film technology. "

Yes, although Dulin is very aware of the impact that magic video recorders and imaging crystal technology will have on the world, it is precisely because he knows these impacts that he cannot spread the technology so directly. After all, directly spreading the video technology will only To be able to create a small splash in this world, and really want to shake this world and bring about changes in this world, what he needs to do is to make countless people willing to liberate their private skills from being passed down from generation to generation, that is, in Create a sound patent system in this world!

In this case, those dusty ancient inheritances will have loose gaps, and magic, a technology that transcends understanding, can be cracked bit by bit by people's wisdom, and then this world can become the beautiful world that Dulin hopes.

In this regard, after hearing Du Lin's words, Alyssa quickly said: "You misunderstood, Director Du Lin, I have no idea of ​​​​obtaining the technology to shoot movies. The purpose of my coming here is actually the same as what I am doing here." The guild leader of the Southern Territory is almost the same. I hope you can also make a film about adventurers for the Northern Territory! "

Yes, after learning about movies for the first time, Alyssa felt like she had discovered a new world. She had never imagined that there was such a thing in this world that could turn stories into images for people to watch.

After learning about the changes in the Southern Adventurer Guild, she immediately came up with the idea of ​​​​looking for the filmmaker Du Lin, and all this was just for one thing...

"To be honest, our northern border is not like the southern border. Almost every day, young girls and boys from the village come to the adventurer guild in the town to register with great interest, hoping to make a career in the adventurer field with their own strength. However, The monsters in the north are far more terrifying than those in the south. Even the most low-level goblins require at least one experienced adventurer to lead them to complete the task safely. "

"However, although the Adventurer's Guild has always been guiding new adventurers, hoping that they can judge their own strength more rationally, so that these novice adventurers can pass the first hurdle safely, but due to some time ago A large number of adventurer novels from the Imperial City spread to the Southern Territory, and this kind of thing, which has no research at all and is purely the brainless creation of the creator, suddenly became popular. "

"Therefore, recently our Adventurer Guild has suddenly gained a large number of young people who have read too many adventurer hero novels. They firmly believe in the things described in the novels and completely scorn the propaganda carried out by our Adventurer Guild. Not only do they not Heeding our warnings and thinking that it was us ignorant adults who were trying to hinder future brave men from saying these sensational words, we organized our own team privately and started our adventure.”

"As a result, the mortality rate of new adventurers in our Northern Adventurer Guild has increased at an almost terrifying rate. However, the Adventurer Guild cannot force these new adventurers not to carry out the commission, and the publicity cannot prevail at all. After all, Compared with the interesting novel, our guild’s reminder is really not up to par.”

"Therefore, when I saw the movie mentioned by the guild leader of the Southern Territory in the last report, I immediately thought of this incident, and then I came to the Southern Territory to seek help. I hope that Director Du Lin can make a film for the Northern Territory that is similar to the real one. Of course, it is not a movie about adventurers’ life in the South, where monsters are basically absent, but a realistic and cruel movie that is consistent with the environment in the North!”

Chapter 40 The popular movie in the South

Chapter 40

Hearing Alyssa's words, Du Lin couldn't help being stunned. He didn't expect that the other party would ask him for such a request at this time, and if it was something he couldn't complete, forget it, but Du Lin knew that he could complete it. He already had ideas in his head for new films that would meet the other person's requirements.

But no matter what, the current "Blessings for a Better World" is still being aired, and the TV version has also been filmed soon. At this time, I suddenly turned around and filmed a new movie...

Seemingly seeing Du Lin's entanglement, Alyssa said quickly: "I know my request is a bit too much, but I still leave it to you, Director Du Lin, this is related to the lives of many new adventurers. If it weren't for this, I wouldn't be able to do it." If you need to come all the way to the South, as long as you can complete the movie I asked for, I can grant you any request I can fulfill as the leader of the North Adventure Guild."

Alyssa's words already revealed her persistence on this matter, and Du Lin, who heard her words, thought about it and nodded: "Well, this time the filming of the TV version of "Blessings for a Better World" happened just right. If I have to postpone it until winter, I can take the time to shoot another movie during the few months here.”

"Really?!"
