I'm shooting anime in another world

Chapter 76: Castle Covered in Snow

Chapter 76

After the audition of the Snow Flower Troupe ended and all the auditioners went back to rehearse, a map of the southern border of the empire was clearly placed on the table in the room on the second floor of Edward Studios.

For this new movie, Du Lin was very motivated. As soon as he finished selecting the actors, he started to select the location for the filming.

Of course, although the candidates for the magician have almost been determined, Du Lin still has reservations about the actors for the seven heroes. After all, he doesn't know whether the people called by General Wilhelm can meet his requirements.

Before interviewing those knights, Du Lin actually has to solve the problem of the filming location.

For the long plot of "Fate Zero", because Du Lin can't make it into a TV series at the moment, he can only choose to divide it into several parts for filming. According to his plan, the most reasonable number is three while keeping the plot rhythm as much as possible.

At the same time, according to Durin's initial idea, he roughly decided to divide the plot of the three parts into the beginning of the story to the gathering of the Heroic Spirits to attack the sea demon, the attack on the sea demon to Kiritsugu's past memories, and the end of the memories to the final ending.

This division can maintain suspense, which is the so-called suitable for breaking chapters.

Secondly, the shooting requirements require him to shoot the first chapter in a short time, so he must cut the plot before the sea demon appears, otherwise he really doesn't know where to get such a terrifying evil god. He can't let Wiz, who is a lich, perform the forbidden summoning magic of the other world.

Therefore, after such a division, Durin quickly marked most of the scenes to be used in the plot on the map, and the places where he didn't find a suitable shooting location were marked in conspicuous fonts on the script.

Finally, the shooting scenes that have not yet been determined in the plot of the first chapter of "Fate Zero" to be shot this time are the castle of the Einzbern family and the underground building hidden by the caster.

The former is beyond doubt. The castle of the Einzbern family is located in a forest covered with ice and snow all year round. Even if Durin does not need to depict the forest, the ice and snow cover is a factor that must be considered. The current season is spring. In an empire where the overall seasonal deviation is not large, it is relatively difficult to find a place that is still covered with ice and snow in spring.

As for the latter, Durin actually has a rough idea. After all, he has been to a similar place when he went to film the Water City plot of "Goblin Slayer". At that time, he only needs to go there again.

Therefore, the current problem is once again focused on not finding a building similar to the Einzbern Castle.

With this question, before auditioning the people brought by Wilhelm, Du Lin found all the people from Edward Studio who were currently in Edward Tavern and publicly asked: "Does anyone know where in the world there is a snow-covered forest? It would be best if there is a castle inside..."

"Snow-covered? Forest? Castle?"

Most people showed confused expressions. After all, people like Zat and Daphne have never even stepped out of the southern border, so how could they know such a special place?

In contrast, Beldia and Saeki were lost in thought. The two people who had lived in the Chaos Realm outside the North were thinking about whether there were similar places in their memories. Beldia was the first to speak: "The Chaos Realm north of the North is completely different from the Empire. Even though the Empire has entered the warm spring, most places in the Chaos Realm are still covered with ice and snow. So if Director Du Lin doesn't mind going to the Chaos Realm to shoot a new movie, I have a place to recommend."

"Is that so? Ask in advance, how dangerous is it there?"

Even Du Lin seemed a little nervous when he heard that the only filming location that met the requirements was in the Chaos Realm. After all, the area north of the North cannot be fully explored with the current power of mankind, and that is why it is named Chaos.

After hearing Durin's question, Beldia, who pondered for a moment, replied: "If it was before, I would definitely say it was extremely dangerous, but now, because the lich who controlled me has died, that place has become a rare safe area in the Chaos Realm."

"What do you mean? Wait, you mean the place you said is..."

In response to Durin's surprise, Beldia just smiled and said: "Yes, I said that place is where I was once bound, the castle where the lich who controlled me lived."

"..."

After a long while, Durin, who came back to his senses from Beldia's sudden words, looked at the Dullahan in surprise, who was heartless and seemed to not care about his past experiences at all.

Then, he frowned and thought for a while and confirmed again: "Are you sure the safety is guaranteed?"

In this regard, Beldia calmly replied: "Because the lich that controls me is one of the extremely dangerous existences even in the realm of chaos, in fact, most creatures and undead outside the North will not By approaching that castle so easily, I estimate that the news of the lich's sudden death may not have been spread until now. In this case, if we don't deliberately provoke him, the safety should be quite guaranteed."

After understanding what Beldia meant, Du Lin thought about it a little and slowly added the part he mentioned to the script.

Soon, looking at the shooting scenes that had been basically set, Du Lin understood that the only thing missing in the filming of the "Fate Zero" movie was the candidates for the heroic spirits summoned by the magicians.

"Is General Wilhelm here?"

Hearing Du Lin's question, Wiz was the first to answer: "The general has been waiting on the first floor with his people for a long time. Even before, because he waited for too long, he also took all his people with him. Let’s go watch a movie at the cinema opposite.”

"..."

Unexpectedly, he kept the other party waiting for so long. Du Lin quickly walked downstairs while showing a helpless expression.

And just as Wiz said, General Wilhelm and his large group of various knights have been waiting here for a long time.

"It's been a long wait, so you already know what you want to do, right? Let's just start the audition."

Chapter 77: Can you please perform suicide?

Chapter 77

The audition of the Heroic Spirit is very fast because there is no need to consider factors of the troupe itself. Basically, Du Lin selects actors based on their appearance. Unless the acting skills are really bad, generally speaking, they can pass.

At the same time, these actors have just watched the movie with the General, and now they have a preliminary understanding of the movie, so they don't know what they are going to do.

Although there are only seven heroic spirits in "Fate Zero", and the quota seems to be only seven, in fact, if a certain assassin is also included, the quota is completely unlimited. This is why Dulin and Wilhelm initially The general said that there are as many reasons as there are, and at the same time, because the setting of caster is not a warrior, Dulin has no intention of choosing an actor among these knights.

At this moment, after just auditioning for actors such as Saber Artoria, Archer Gilgamesh, and Rider Iskandar, the ones that have yet to be determined are Lancer Diarmuid, Berserker Lancelot, and Assassin. Assassins are in heaven.

The casting process before this was very easy. Dulin just casually glanced around the crowd and found several Knights members with matching appearances. He then successfully accepted them after a round of auditions. Come down.

And after that...

"Next one."

Following Dulin's words, a very handsome knight slowly walked out of the crowd. He seemed to be very confident, but in fact he was indeed very popular among the knights. He should be. The kind of character that has both strength and looks.

"Do you need me to perform something?"

Because Du Lin did not give the script of the heroic spirit, his audition for these knights was completely to let them improvise. For example, when auditioning the actor of Rider, Du Lin just asked him to act more boldly and speak more grandly, and the other party also indeed succeeded in doing so , or that it was meant to be a true performance, while other auditions like Saber's were even simpler. Dulin directly asked her to perform a swordsmanship, and the person who participated in the audition was Liya, the deputy leader of the Imperial Knights. Sword Soul's swordsmanship is naturally not bad, so he passed the test easily.

Of course, the only subtle thing is that when auditioning for the role of Archer Gilgamesh, Dulin had only one requirement for him, and that was to make him laugh. As long as the laugh was powerful and magical enough, he would be fine.

At that time, the actor was embarrassed to death. After all, the actor usually seemed to be approachable and not too irritable. But with the help of a certain talent, or hiding his personality, the actor was completely embarrassed and got into it. The knight's usual friends were shocked at the time.

But now, facing the knight's question, Dulin just said silently: "Can you please perform suicide?"

"ha.......?"

All of a sudden, the knight who participated in the audition showed a subtle expression. He even thought he heard wrongly.

In response to this, Du Lin, who was still smiling, continued: "Because the lancer you auditioned for was forced to commit suicide in the end, so if you choose to star, can you perform a suicide?"

"...."

Finally, after realizing that Du Lin was not joking, the knight in front of him twitched the corners of his mouth and asked, "Well, are there any other characters?"

"Well, there is also a berserker whose whole body is covered in pitch-black armor, and a large group of dark-skinned assassins. Do you want to play these? In that case, I can change the audition requirements."

"..."

"Ah, I'm dead!"

"It's too exaggerated. Suicide is not like this. Do it again!"

"...."

"Pfft~I'm dead~"

"It's too forced. You have to first imagine the spear in your hand piercing yourself to the core, and then let out the most vicious hatred!"

"...."

About five minutes later, watching the knight who was originally interested in acting leave as if he was possessed by a demon, Du Lin continued to smile and nod: "Next!"

.......

Soon, after all the knights present had completed their interviews, Dulin looked at General Wilhelm, who was still a little subtle. Dulin said: "The people I just wanted to recruit can temporarily allow them to stay in this city. I will use them all the time when shooting later.”

"Well, it shouldn't be a problem in a short period of time. After all, I happen to be staying in the South during this time."

Hearing the general's words, Dulin nodded, and then looked at the headless horseman in the distance pulling the knights to practice their acting skills. Although Beldia's own acting skills were actually just like that, he still had it. He is a senior with acting experience, and the most important thing is that his strength has reached a super level. Even if these knights are careful, they will not dare to make mistakes at all. It can be said that he is the most suitable coach.

Of course, before letting others leave, Dulin first stopped the female knight named Liya.

"What's the matter, Director Dulin?"

Although Liya still feels a little subtle about this title, because General Wilhelm took a group of knights to the cinema to watch "Blessings for a Beautiful World", she has somewhat accepted the transcendence of the movie. Imagine new things.

By the way, after just watching "Blessings for a Better World" in the cinema, these knights who usually can't take any time have been driven by the impulse of 'Don't stop me, I'm going to save the world' at this moment. shrouded.

If they hadn't been startled and poured cold water on them by the Headless Horseman who came up to them when they came out of the cinema, a large part of this group of people would have signed up for the Adventurer's Guild by now.

As the daily manager of the Knights, although Liya remained as rational as possible, she also felt a desire for adventure after watching the movie. This was the first time she had ever had anything other than for There is another emotion called desire besides imperial potency.

"Riya, right? This time you are playing the role of a heroic spirit named Saber. Since the scene where the heroic spirit summons was filmed in a relatively remote location, I need to make it clear to you in advance."

"remote?"

Not sure why Dulin said such words, Liya tilted her head with a puzzled expression.

In this regard, Dulin just quickly explained to the other party that the shooting location of Einzbern Castle was located in the Chaos Realm north of the Northern Territory, that is, they were going to the Chaos Realm to film at that time.

Chapter 78 The First Film Critic

Chapter 78

After solving the actor problem of "Fate Zero", Du Lin took the lead in returning to the Alchemy Tower.

As the light of the teleportation array flickered slowly, Dulin quickly reached the top of the Alchemy Tower with the help of the teleportation array arranged at the bottom of the tower, and opened the door to Ska's office.

Compared with the chaotic state last time, after Du Lin gave the other party an objective amount of funds last time, Ska's laboratory is now restored to its original tidiness, with various alchemy equipment and alchemy props displayed. While it was being placed, the tall dark-skinned man was leaning on the laboratory table, playing with some rune sets and a bunch of very sophisticated-looking instruments.

"...."

As if he was aware of Dulin's arrival, Ska slowly stood up from his position, turned around and replied, "You're here so soon? I thought you would have to spend some more time."

"Of course I don't have a problem, but it's your problem that's bigger. You knew it was me before I even said anything. How long has it been since anyone other than me came to this place?"

In response to Du Lin's complaints, Ska just scratched his head in confusion, then forcibly ignored it, and replied: "Anyway, since Du Lin is here, does it mean that the new script has been written?"

"Well, including the selection of actors, the only thing that needs to be considered now is how to film it."

"The script..."

Seeing that Sika wanted to read it but felt embarrassed at the same time, Dulin just smiled and handed over the copy of the first chapter of "Fate Zero" that he had prepared.

In this regard, when he saw the script of the new movie in Dulin's hand that he had been thinking about these days and couldn't even sleep well, Ska immediately took it. At the same time, he was too lazy to care about face. He took it immediately and read it attentively.

Then, after about half an hour or so...Ska realized that it would be even harder to fall asleep in the coming days!

"No more?"

"No more."

"Where's the back?"

"Still in my head."

"Can you tell me?"

"cannot!"

"..."

"..."

With a burst of glare, Ska, who knew the character of Du Lin, gritted his teeth and read the fragmented parts over and over before slowly closing the script called "Fate Zero".

On the other hand, although Du Lin could understand Scar's desire to tear up the author of the fragments, he did not have the idea of ​​writing all of "Fate Zero". After all, it is better not to write it out before filming than to worry about it being leaked.

Of course, this is more because of Du Lin's bad taste. After all, he has tasted the fear of being dominated by the author of the fragments before. Now that he has changed his position, he unexpectedly found that the fragments are really cool...

In this regard, Scar, who is only a beginner reader, does not have the skills to urge for updates at this moment, so he put away the copy of the script indifferently and silently and said: "This story is very interesting."

"Well, I know, then what?"

Yes, Du Lin showed the script to Scar not only to satisfy his bad taste, but also hoped that the alchemy tower master in front of him, whose alchemy attainments are one point stronger than his, could make some useful suggestions.

Knowing this, Scar recalled the plot he had just seen and slowly said, "The magic circle in your story that can summon heroes, is it an alchemical technique or a magical technique?"

"Both, or which one do you think is better?"

"Well, both are better. In addition, I have had similar ideas about the alchemical prop called "gun" used by the protagonist that can eject projectiles. Maybe it can be made in the future."

"Oh, that's good too, but I hope your suggestions are not these scraps. In other words, tell me directly, Scar, do you think this story is attractive to us magicians?"

Seeing that Durin had regained his serious expression, Scar thought for a while and said seriously, "To be honest, although I am not an orthodox magician, I believe no one will refuse such an interesting story. This "Fate" Although the settings of the magicians in "Fate Zero" are very different from those in our reality, it is precisely because of this difference that the sense of conflict in the plot is strengthened, and I think the biggest advantage of this story is that it describes the battles of magicians without hesitation! "

"What do you mean?"

In response to Durin's question, Scar answered without hesitation: "Durin, you should have read the adventurer novels that emerged in the imperial capital some time ago. Although there are descriptions of magicians in them, due to the limited imagination of those novelists, the magicians they wrote about fight completely by standing still and casting spells, without any characteristics that conform to the combat profession. Of course, the magicians in reality are indeed as they write, but isn't the existence of the story to transcend reality and do things that cannot be done in reality?"

"Durin, this "Fate Zero" you gave Although "Fate Zero" is completely untrue to the image of a real magician, it is precisely because of this unreality that a unique battle between magicians is created, which makes people feel the pleasure of watching combat professions fight when watching these magicians fight, and this pleasure is absolutely attractive to the new students of the Mage Tower who are magicians themselves! "

"Because magicians themselves are criticized for their weak combat capabilities, and once they watch your "Fate Zero", any magician will have thoughts like "Ah, I didn't expect that magicians can also fight like this". After that, I believe this movie will spread among the magicians of the empire at the fastest speed. "

Ska's analysis is very long, but also very unique. Although Du Lin was also very sure that "Fate Zero" would be popular in the Mage Tower before, it was just a feeling based on the interesting story itself. Now, after Scar's analysis, Du Lin really realized the advantages of the story of "Fate Zero" among the audience of magicians.
