I'm shooting anime in another world
Chapter 92
“…”
All of a sudden, facing Durin’s arrival, the nobles present had complicated expressions.
Some of the young men who came with their fathers were arrogant and ostentatious, but the moment they saw Durin, their expressions suddenly dimmed.
Although they were about the same age as Durin, the gap between them was already unimaginable, which was an unimaginable blow to any young man with great ambitions.
The young noble girls were now shining with light. If they hadn’t noticed Wen Li’s eyes that were always on guard, they would have flocked to him and wanted to have a good and in-depth exchange with this legendary young wizard.
In contrast, many nobles who had actual power in the South Territory all stared at him and began to make their own calculations in their hearts.
After all, no matter what kind of person Durin was, the film industry he represented was an unimaginable and lucrative industry, and everyone wanted to participate in it and get a piece of the pie.
In such a feudal country where capitalists have not yet appeared, these feudal nobles are the largest interest group and also the most greedy group.
In the past, they could not make a breakthrough in Viscount Baniel, nor could they participate in the production and screening of the film through direct or indirect means, which was quite unsatisfactory.
Now seeing Du Lin himself, who created the film, naturally wanted to come to him as soon as possible, and use all the temptations that could be given to join the film industry that is destined to change the future, and obtain the huge wealth that is enough to make anyone jealous.
Of course, their ideas are good, but the actions are destined to fail.
Because at the same time when Du Lin entered the venue, a blonde girl in a gorgeous long dress came from a distance followed by guards.
"Long time no see, Du Lin."
Facing Daphne, who had not seen her for a while and looked much more formal than the priest's uniform in the past, and the female guards who followed Daphne as always, Du Lin nodded with a little surprise. Obviously, after the sudden change of identity, he felt deeply amazed by the temperament of the girl.
Although Wen Li, who was beside him, looked more alert at this moment, she still didn't dare to say anything to the Duke's daughter. She could only follow Du Lin closely and didn't dare to leave.
On the other side, Daphne smiled calmly:
"It seems that Du Lin, you don't seem to be interested in this kind of social banquet. It just so happens that I am not interested either. Anyway, the annual meeting will not start for a while, so I will take you around here."
"..."
I didn't expect the other party to say such a thing suddenly. Du Lin didn't have time to react and was pulled away from the venue by the other party.
When they came to a deserted place, Daphne immediately took off her disguise and said with a smile:
"It's been a long time since we last met, Director Du Lin. I'm really sorry for leaving without saying goodbye last time, but I had no choice. During the previous Frost Festival, several movies were released at once. Although I didn't get to watch them the first time, I still got the movie tickets at the end of the Frost Festival. It was really exciting!!!"
Seeing the girl's sudden change to an overly lively look, Du Lin was stunned for a long time before he came to his senses and murmured:
"Your difference is too big. With such excellent acting skills, it seems that you are really a natural actor. It is necessary to give you more roles in the future."
"Uh, Director Du Lin, you are a devil, right...?"
After a brief teasing, the two smiled at each other and immediately returned to their familiar attitude.
In terms of hating aristocratic etiquette, the two did have a surprising common point.
Of course, this look like a confidant made the female guards behind Daphne and Wen Li behind Du Lin show a subtle attitude, and their expressions became more vigilant.
On the other side, after Du Lin and Daphne talked about the situation during this period, the latter suddenly said:
"By the way, Director Du Lin, is the fifth episode of "Kara no Kyoukai" released today?"
"Uh, it seems to be today. I let the people of Alchemy Tower take care of these things. How do you know this?"
"Because my father told me."
"Huh?"
"He has been paying attention to movies and TV for a long time. The last time he suddenly asked me to come back was also related to this."
"Huh?!!"
"And my father also plans to publicly screen this film at the annual meeting, saying that he will watch it with all the nobles attending this annual meeting."
"Huh?!!!!!"
Hearing Daphne's absurd words, Du Lin thought he had heard it wrong and was stunned on the spot.
Chapter 201 The Duke of the South is also a fan?
Chapter 201
At the lively Duke of the South banquet, the nobles greeted each other with false enthusiasm, saluted and hugged each other.
However, although they seemed to be on good terms on the surface, they were actually calculating their relationships with each other in private, looking for connections that could bring them benefits.
In this environment, Du Lin stood out, with a large number of nobles surrounding him. Even though Wen Li had tried her best to act as ‘intimidating’, she still couldn’t stop the ‘enthusiasm’ of the nobles.
Among them were not only young aristocratic boys, gorgeously dressed aristocratic girls, but also some well-known nobles. They all pretended to have great admiration for Dulin, so they wanted to make friends, but in fact they only wanted to make friends. They are just coveting the amazing benefits of movies and television.
Under this situation, Du Lin seemed to be recalling things in a friendly manner on the surface, but secretly he was so impatient that he wished he could just use a fifth-level magic to clear the place.
And no matter how impatient Du Lin was, there were still a large number of nobles coming from all directions.
These nobles who had nothing to do with or even had any contact with the Edward family in the past seemed to have become close friends of the Edward family at this moment.
Of course, not all nobles are willing to shamelessly approach Du Lin. A large part of the nobles who once hoped to join the film industry but were severely rejected by Du Lin are now looking at all this with cold eyes. Several of them are not deep enough. He even sneered.
In this regard, Du Lin frowned slightly when he noticed the expressions of these people, but he was not worried at all.
After all, the current film industry in the South has developed to a point that cannot be shaken by anyone, and the numerous backstages behind him are enough to make Du Lin fearless of any trouble.
And just when more and more nobles were surrounding them, making Du Lin extremely annoyed, the appearance of a figure suddenly cooled down the atmosphere at the scene.
"Hello, Lord Duke."
Under the respectful gazes of many nobles, Duke Constantine walked calmly from a distance.
This is a middle-aged man who looks very calm. He is tall and dignified. Compared with most nobles who are thin and even look extremely pale due to years of inactivity, his posture is as strong as a city wall.
At first glance, I am afraid that no one would think that this was a nobleman, but would mistake him for a general who had just come off the battlefield.
At this time, Daphne accompanied Duke Constantine and walked directly to the center of the venue.
Facing the nervous looks of many nobles, the Duke of Southern Territory just glanced at everyone indifferently, and paused for a moment when he saw Du Lin.
Dulin didn't feel much about this meaningful gaze. After all, he had met the Duke once before, and his current appearance didn't change much from the past.
After arriving at the scene, many nobles addressed the Duke of Southern Territory and issued various blessings.
Facing this Duke Constantine, even the Marquis, who is second only to him in status, most of them don't have the slightest temper at the moment.
After all, ordinary nobles are not allowed to hold private soldiers. In addition to the imperial army, only the four dukes in the empire have a border guard force each.
This also means that in the Southern Territory, Duke Constantine is the only nobleman with an army and the only person in power who controls the order of the entire Southern Territory.
At this moment, facing the respectful looks of many nobles, the Duke of Southern Territory just nodded lightly, without showing too much enthusiasm.
This is a normal state. After all, the Constantine family has a very strange rule, that is, every successor must go to the unexplored area south of the Southern Territory for a trial, and after the trial is over, they will directly control it. The Southern Border Guards have been guarding the border for several years.
After completing all this, the successor can inherit the name of Duke Constantine of the Southern Territory.
Under such extremely strict rules, every Duke of Constantine is a fierce man who is proficient in martial arts and warfare. No matter how bad he is, he has many years of fighting experience. He can be said to be full of vigor and martial virtue.
Such Duke Constantine would naturally not associate with nobles who had never been to the battlefields in the south.
The Duke family, which holds military power, disdains too much contact with the ordinary nobles in the south, and has always been criticized by various small groups of nobles.
Even so, relying on solid military power and the title of duke inherited from their ancestors, the Constantine family still stands firm in the south, and no other nobles can shake it.
Now, after Duke Constantine arrived, the other nobles wiped the cold sweat on their heads and showed very reluctant smiles.
The Duke himself slowly came to Dulin after some meaningless greetings.
"I heard a lot about you from General Wilhelm and that lord."
Dulin was slightly surprised by what Duke Constantine suddenly said, and was even flattered. He didn't expect that the other party would pay so much attention to him.
At the same time, what he didn't expect was that the Duke immediately said:
"I have also watched "Blessings for a Better World" and "Goblin Slayer". Objectively speaking, the former is more in line with public aesthetics than the latter, but I appreciate the latter more, whether it is the portrayal of the protagonist or various The grasp of the details of the battle is very Northern style.”
"Ah this..."
Unexpectedly, the dignified Duke of Southern Territory himself actually watched the movie, and understood the content so well, and spoke eloquently. Suddenly, not to mention the nobles around him, even Du Lin himself was covered in cold sweat, and he didn't know what to say. good.
In contrast, Duke Constantine himself continued without hesitation:
"Other than that, my only dissatisfaction is that you didn't ask for my opinion when you took my daughter to make a movie. I should have asked Roy to inform you and notify me as soon as possible if there were any clues about her. "
"No, ah, this... it's my fault, I didn't inform you..."
The Duke's words made Du Lin unable to answer at all, and he could only show an apologetic expression.
After all, it was his fault to take Daphne to film without permission, and he did deliberately not inform the Duke of the South to prevent him from forcibly taking Daphne away.
However, what surprised Du Lin was that Duke Constantine quickly said:
"No, what I mean is that if you inform me in advance, I will definitely train her more formally, so that she can at least look like an adventurer. After all, as a member of the Constantine family, she was actually frightened by the dark environment and ugly monsters and became incontinent. This is really a disgrace to our Constantine family."
"Ah this..."
All of a sudden, not to mention Du Lin's sweating, Daphne in the distance had already hugged her completely red face with both hands, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into.
Being evaluated by her father in public, she was so embarrassed that she couldn't say a word.
Chapter 202 Watching LCD TV in the Duke's Mansion!
Chapter 202
"The previous film "Fate Zero", although the plot setting is very complicated, the specific battle scenes are well portrayed. Although some parts are obviously traces of special effects processing, the battle performances of the heroes are all excellent, and it can be seen that they have all put in a lot of effort. I am looking forward to the final ending of Emiya Kiritsugu."
"I personally like this film "Kara no Kyoukai" very much, even better than "Fate Zero" is even worse. Because the structure of human consciousness is very unique in it. In a peaceful world without superpowers, a group of abnormal people fight each other. This is a theme I like very much. The only problem is that the update frequency of once a month is too slow. If possible, I hope to speed up the update speed. "
"There is also the recently released "Steins; Gate". I think the magicians of the Imperial Magic Academy will like this movie very much. At least Roy mentioned to me several times that he likes the details in it. It has a sense of the future and breaks everyone's inherent thinking. It uses a very unique angle. But there is almost no description of the battle plot in it. I personally don't have much feeling. "
"..."
Facing the endless narration of Duke Constantine like a fanatical fan, Du Lin couldn't help wiping the cold sweat on his face, and the whole person felt extremely trance.
Similarly, the nobles around him also showed confused expressions one by one, and all stood there in a daze.
After all, who would have thought that the Duke who was so powerful in the southern border was actually such a fanatical fan.
This made many nobles who had originally hoped that the Duke of the Southland would personally come forward to curb the development of the film industry dumbfounded and dejected.
However, it seems that Daphne, as the daughter of the Duke, is so enthusiastic about the film industry, which is indeed a bit of genetic influence.
In short, after Duke Constantine finished talking about his love for movies, he quickly regained his former aloof temperament and slowly said:
"Nowadays, the film industry has blossomed all over the Southland. What do you think about the future development of the film industry, Baron Dulin?"
"This..."
Unexpectedly, the other party threw him a difficult problem so quickly after talking about his enthusiasm for movies. Dulin was stunned for a moment.
However, as a film director, his professional instinct made him quickly come back to his senses, thinking about the meaning behind the topic raised by the other party, and slowly replied:
"Nowadays, the development of the film industry in the South has reached a bottleneck in a sense. No matter how much the number of cinemas is increased in a short period of time, the total number of audiences will not become more, so there is only one way, that is to thoroughly promote movies throughout the empire, and even spread them to further places."
"Well, it's a good idea, but it is bound to be opposed by many people. Other lands in the empire are not as peaceful and willing to accept new things as the South."
"But you still have to do it. If you don't do it, you can't change anything. After all, my goal is to change this boring world!"
Speaking words that are enough to make ordinary people stunned, and even full of middle school atmosphere, the nobles present were all stunned.
As for the Duke of the South, who heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and suddenly laughed loudly.
"Very good, I didn't make a mistake."
After saying that, he turned around and left the scene.
On the other side, seeing the Duke suddenly disappear, the nobles present were all stunned, and at the same time, they all felt mixed emotions, not knowing what to think.
After all, their family had always tried various methods, but they had not left any big marks in the heart of the Duke of the Southern Territory. Now, Du Lin, a young man who had just started out, actually received such high praise from the other party, which could be said to be completely beyond everyone's imagination.
In contrast, Du Lin was stroking his chin, not understanding what the Duke meant.
After all, he did not have much friendship with the other party, and the Edward family was only a low-ranking family in the Southern Territory in the past. As the ruler of the Southern Territory, the other party should have no reason to pay attention to him.
As if seeing Du Lin's confusion, Daphne in the distance hurriedly came forward and whispered in his ear:
"In fact, my father has always been paying attention to you. He mentioned you when you became the youngest great magician. After all, our family's ancestral motto is strength first. A genius like you in the South Territory will naturally attract amazing attention."
"That's it? Isn't Senior Roy also a very young great magician?"
"That's what I said, but Senior Roy is not a native of our South Territory. Although there is no barrier between the four territories of the empire, no matter where you are, you will instinctively take care of the locals. This should be the same everywhere."
"Uh, good guy, I didn't expect this."
