I'm shooting anime in another world

"What a strange combination..."

As expected, when seeing this introduction, Wen Li immediately questioned it, and Du Lin smiled and asked her to continue reading, and then...

"Hahaha!!!"

Even Wen Li, who is always serious and calm, burst into laughter when she saw the characters in the story, and this was when the script was not localized.

Looking at the girl who wanted to maintain her dignity in front of her master but couldn't help it, Du Lin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart while smiling on his face.

Although Du Lin likes this anime very much, considering cultural differences and other issues, he actually doesn't have the confidence to bring these stories that were very popular in the past world to this world and make people feel interesting.

Like the large number of stalks played in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on a Beautiful World", they are things that only modern people can understand. In such a Western fantasy world, it can be said that a large part of the story in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on a Beautiful World" will make people confused.

But now, seeing Winry bursting into laughter just by reading the unrevised script, Du Lin was relieved and determined to bring this anime to this world.

"Although this story feels strange to read, it is very interesting. Lord Edward, do you have the talent to be a novelist? Ah, Lord Du Lin is planning to become a novelist to repay the loan? I think this work will be very popular if it is written into a novel! If I can get the royalties, it should also be able to solve the family's urgent needs..."

As for Winry's expression of wiping away the tears from her eyes and sighing, Du Lin just shook his head silently and said, "I am not a novelist, but in order to save the current Edward family, I will find a way to present this story!"

"Present it? You are obviously not planning to write a novel?"

Obviously, Winry didn't know how to present a story besides a novel. It can't be told verbally.

As for this, Du Lin, who didn't want to explain too much at the moment, just smiled and said: "Anyway, Wen Li, please help me draft a letter first."

"Letter? Where is the letter sent to?"

"The Mage's Tower."

"What?!"

Wondering that the name of that place would come out of Du Lin's mouth, Wen Li was stunned and seemed a little at a loss. Finally, under Du Lin's constant urging, she ran to the study room and took the drafted letter.

In response, Du Lin, who had been sitting in his seat for a long time, finally sorted out his thoughts, picked up the pen, and slowly began to write.

——To my beloved Miss Huilinda Helena.

Long time no see, how is Miss Helena doing recently? I heard that you have made new breakthroughs in your research on fire elemental magic, which is really gratifying. According to the time, you are also about to graduate, which really envies me.

But Miss Helena, have you successfully completed the graduation credits for elemental magic? Have you paid off the huge amount of money you owed because you spent lavishly on buying magic crystals? Are you still being thrown into a small dark room by the teacher for using fireball, big fireball, and burst fireball in class?

Haha, anyway, as a friend who used to skip classes and go crazy together, I sincerely wish you happiness now.

I still remember that year, you and I made a vow together in a barbecue restaurant two streets away from the Mage Tower, saying that we would change the current situation of blindly following authority in the magic world and let the light of flames and alchemy illuminate the world. Thinking about it now, I still feel excited.

It's just that you don't seem to have paid me back the barbecue money at that time, which is really regrettable.

Of course, I also know that you can't find a decent job to pay me back if you can only use fireball, big fireball, and burst fireball, so I don't have the idea of ​​​​initiating legal proceedings, but just want to provide you with a chance here.

Come to the Edward Family Castle in the South Territory where I am during the long vacation of the Mage Tower. There is a business opportunity waiting for you here. The basic salary is five gold coins a month, and the five insurances and one housing fund will not be less. You can also get a salary increase depending on the level of your work. I hope you can come.

May the glory of magic shine on the world.

Your former classmate who was kicked out of the Mage Tower, Baron Dulin Edward.

Chapter 4 Determination to change the times

Chapter 4

Watching the servant take the letter to the special post station, Dulin stretched his muscles a little, as if to express all the fatigue of the past five days, and lay lazily on the chair.

On the other hand, Winry, who had read the script of "KonoSuba: A Wonderful World" again, couldn't help but ask, "Lord Edward, are you going to spread this story in some way to make money?"

"Well, that's what I understand."

"But why do you want to film such a story? Although I don't read many novels, I have read some popular knight novels and adventure novels in this era. The protagonists in those novels must have gone through numerous hardships, gathered various partners, and finally succeeded in defeating the devil after making a lot of sacrifices and won the favor of the princess. Lord Edward, although your story is very interesting, it always feels very strange..."

After hearing what Wen Li said, Du Lin, who was still thinking about how to localize the script, couldn't help but smile and raised his head and said: "Yes, it's very strange. Normal people would probably behave the same as you when seeing such a strange story, but this is our opportunity and our selling point! Because, although the stories of heroes fighting demons you mentioned are genuine orthodox novels with a very stable audience, in fact, these audiences have long been tired of such stories."

"And the "KonoSuba: God's Blessing for a Better World" we are going to launch is a genuine evil story. It does not have the pleasure brought by the dragon quest, nor does it have the romantic encounter of the hero saving the beauty. , the protagonist in the story even lives a miserable life for various reasons, but don’t you think this story is very interesting? "

After hearing Du Lin's words, Wen Li thought carefully and nodded: "That's right, this story is indeed very interesting."

"That's right! As long as it's interesting, it's enough. In this era of lack of entertainment, as long as it's interesting, it will catch people's attention and be loved by people. Whether it's a royal way or a heretical way, only interesting stories can attract the audience and promote it faster! "

When Wen Li didn't understand it and could only nod continuously, Du Lin was excited at this moment.

He even forgot his fatigue and stood up, looking around and said loudly: "The world now is too boring! Although the papermaking industry is developed, the novel industry is still at the most primitive stage. Although the magic technology is very advanced, the magic that only a few people have cannot benefit the common people at all! Although I don't have the ambition to change the times, I still want to change this situation, or I must find a way to change this situation!"

Facing Du Lin's impassioned speech, Wen Li, who didn't know what to say, couldn't help but stand there, and Du Lin, who had been completely emotionally mobilized, couldn't let himself continue to be lazy like this, and stood up at the first time.

The more he wrote scripts these days, the more Du Lin could feel the lack of prosperity of the cultural industry in this world. Obviously, the human kingdom has no external enemies, and the internal economic development is also expanding under the effect of the progress of magic, but everyone is very boring.

The nobles hold banquets all day long, singing and dancing rap, and the common people really only get together in the tavern to chat, except for work, and there is no entertainment at all.

Although it has been said before that this world has a certain degree of papermaking technology and novel industry, those boring knight novels are basically the same old Dragon Quest novels. It feels that the occasional BL novel is considered innovative.

As a modern person, Du Lin can tolerate the poor diet and poor hygiene of this world, but he absolutely cannot tolerate the boredom of this world!

Obviously, there are so many ideas from another world in his mind, and he obviously has the ability to change all this. In this case, who would choose to do nothing and watch time pass by day by day? !

Thinking so, after Du Lin calmed down, he asked: "Winry, I remember there is a young man named Zat among the squire knights of our castle, what is he doing now?"

After hearing what Du Lin said, Winry thought for a while and then answered silently: "Are you talking about the squire knight who followed his father to join the Edward family when he was a child? You still remember him. If I am not mistaken, he should be managing a village near the castle, and I heard that he has managed it well. Not only can taxes be collected steadily, but the people have always supported him."

"Really? Then call him over. I have something to ask him."

Du Lin knew this young man named Zat. When Du Lin was young, the other party often asked him and his younger brother to play together as the son of a knight. It can be said that he was Du Lin's childhood playmate.

However, when Du Lin went to the Mage Tower and his younger brother Al went to join the army, Zat stayed alone in the Edward family. It is said that he became a formal squire knight later, but Du Lin at that time no longer had the energy to pay attention to him.

At this time, when Du Lin began to consider the lineup of the protagonists of "Blessings for a Better World", his mind could not help but appear the figure of the other party.

According to Du Lin's memory, the young man named Zat has been very smart since childhood and is particularly good at acting. In the past, Du Lin and Al were able to run out of the castle to play, and a large part of the credit was that Zat's acting skills deceived the guards guarding the city.

Although he didn't know what Zat's situation was now, after getting the general information from Wen Li, Du Lin also believed that this young knight with good character could meet his requirements.

After a while, when Du Lin made some localized modifications to the beginning of "Blessings for a Better World", the door of the living room slowly opened.

"Lord Edward, Zat is here."

Hearing Winry's words, Durin, who was still thinking about the plot, stood up immediately, and looked at the gray-haired young man in the distance who seemed a little panicked and was far from as relaxed as when he was a child, and smiled: "Long time no see, Zat, it seems that you are doing well now."

"Yes, sir, all this is thanks to the promotion of the old lord."

Obviously, Zat is now more nervous than ever, and Dulin, who probably understands that the other party is at a loss because of the difference in status, smiled slightly and shook his head and said, "Forget it, it seems that you are not in the mood to reminisce about the past. In this case, I will just say it directly, Zat, how is your acting?"

I didn't expect that my former friend, now the lord, would say such a thing. Zat, who couldn't help but recall that period of childhood, nodded quickly and said, "Lord Dulin, you know that although I think this is a useless ability, my acting is indeed very good."

"Haha, I don't think this is a useless ability. What ability is used. "

After confirming the other party's situation and understanding that Zat has indeed become an outstanding knight, Durin smiled and said: "Although I still have a lot to say to you, now is not the time to reminisce. Let's be honest, Zat, I need your acting skills. If you are willing to agree, I will promote you to my guard, and your salary will also be improved. How about it?"

I didn't expect that Durin, who hadn't seen him for a long time, would say such a thing. Zat, who showed a surprised expression, half squatted down and said at the moment of reaction: "Of course, this is my honor, Lord Durin."

Chapter 5 This is indeed a mentally retarded person

Chapter 5

After agreeing to Durin's request, Zat was left in the castle. During this period, Durin also asked Winry to measure his body shape, which was to prepare the clothes for him to wear during the subsequent filming.

During this period, Durin made some localized changes to the beginning of the story of "Blessings on a Beautiful World", such as the original protagonist Sato Kazuma was a time traveler, but that was the culture of another world, which must be very difficult for people in this world to accept.

After thinking for a while, Du Lin decided to modify and design the protagonist into an ordinary merchant's son. Because his family had enough property, he never thought about his future and lived in a daze all day long.

It was such a protagonist who encountered an "accident" in his eyes on the way out to buy things. Later, when trying to save a little girl who was almost hit by a donkey cart, he died of a myocardial infarction because he had not exercised for too long...

The shooting of this scene was very simple. With Zat's acting skills, it was no problem to play a dead otaku who had not exercised for a long time. However, after that, it was a difficult problem. Who should play the role of the heroine in the original story, that is, the role of the mentally retarded goddess?

Yes, even if we don't consider the follow-up issues for the time being, his biggest problem at the moment is still the casting of actors.

A girl who must have full acting skills and can't be too bad in appearance, where can such a person be found?

While Du Lin was thinking about this, Zat, who had already measured his body, slowly walked over from the door and said immediately: "Master Du Lin, I heard that you seem to be looking for someone with acting skills?"

Realizing that the other party had heard his idea from Wen Li, Du Lin smiled and nodded: "Yes, after all, I don't know many people in these years, and it is also required to have acting skills, which is a little difficult."

Hearing the other party's words, Zat's expression was immediately tangled. After thinking about it, he said with determination: "If this is the case, I may be able to recommend a suitable candidate."

"Oh? Do you know such a person?"

Unexpectedly, the other party would say such a thing. Du Lin, who was a little surprised, quickly showed a curious expression, and Zat sighed and said: "Actually, I didn't want to recommend it, but I heard that this seems to be a very important thing for you, so..."

Although he wanted the other party not to be so restrained many times, Du Lin, who knew that his words alone could not change the strict social structure of this world, finally did not say anything and listened to the other party's thoughts silently.

According to Zat, it was a very strange girl. She suddenly appeared in the village he managed, and then because she stole the chickens raised by the village tycoon Ford, she was tied up by Ford, who was old but still strong, and taken to the knight's house.

During this process, although the other party was very scared and even asked him to deal with her leniently with tears and snot, when Zat really chose to release her without guilt, the girl ran away with a smile on her face at the first time, and the whole process was so coherent that Zat couldn't even react.

On the second day, Zat saw the other party tied up and thrown on the ground trembling at the door of the knight's house. According to witnesses, she seemed to have been beaten up by the other party's parents after she stole the lollipop of the children at the entrance of the village, and then thrown to the knight's house.

Although Zat has been diligent and hardworking for the villagers as a knight, he seems to have no way to deal with such a thick-skinned guy.

Finally, after realizing that the other party seemed to have lost her memory and had nowhere to go, Zat, as a knight, still took her in at the knight's inn out of kindness.

However, even so, because the other party seemed to be born without common sense, she would cause trouble in the village almost every few days. Not only did the villagers feel very helpless, but even Zat himself was annoyed and made up his mind to wait until the other party recovered her memory and then quickly send the Buddha back to its original place.

Now, when Zat heard that the lord was looking for a girl with good acting skills and good looks, he immediately thought of her. Although the girl lacked common sense in all aspects, Zat still chose to recommend her for her acting skills and her beautiful looks.

After listening to Zat's narration, Du Lin, who was interested in the girl, nodded and said, "Very good, what's the girl's name?"

"She couldn't remember her name because of amnesia, so I named her Aya. Actually, I wanted to call her mentally retarded, but she refused..."

"Normal people would probably refuse."

I didn't expect Zat to have a talent for comedy. Du Lin smiled and stood up and said, "Then, Zat, go and call this Aya over."

......

Next, when Zat left the castle, in addition to continuing to revise the script, Du Lin also took out the camera from the magic version.

In the final analysis, to make a movie or TV series, in addition to the script and actors, there are many other problems to be solved, such as the effect of the lens, the rendering of special effects, the background of music, the playback of editing, the arrangement of light, etc.

And in such a magical world, there is no need to worry about special effects. For example, the explosion magic in "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on a Beautiful World" can achieve similar effects if you ask the great wizards in the Mage Tower. In addition, there are many famous musicians in this world for music, and editing can also be done through the fusion bridge of imaging crystals.

So in this way, the biggest problem seems to be the sense of lens. After all, there is still a big gap between animation and real people. Many grand lenses and screen switching that can be completed in animation are still very subtle if they want to be transformed into real people. Although this world has the assistance of black technology called magic, it is still a little insufficient for Du Lin to complete it. After all, he is just an ordinary dead otaku who has done editing, and this alien world does not provide him with anything to learn.

Just when Du Lin was struggling with how to take a good shot, he heard a knock on the door. He immediately came out of his thoughts and tidied up his appearance to wait for Zat and the girl he mentioned to come.

Then, when the door slowly opened, he immediately saw the girl following Zat who walked in first.

Her long light blue hair spread behind her. Although the ordinary cloth shirt concealed the female features, it did not completely cover up her beauty. As Zat said, this mysterious girl named Aya was indeed very beautiful.

This was Durin's first thought, and then the next moment...

"Lord! I was really wronged! Whether it was stealing Mr. Ford's chicken, snatching little Amy's lollipop, or trampling Aunt Tifa's crops, breaking Timmy's piggy bank, eating all the chicken legs everyone gave to Zat, being woken up by Zat's snoring at night because of the poor soundproofing of the room, and planning to sell Zat's knight's longsword for revenge... none of this has anything to do with me!!!"

"What chicken legs? What longsword to sell?!!"

Seeing the girl lying on the ground with tears in her eyes, almost grabbing her trouser legs and crying, and Zat who was almost pinching the girl's neck to ask a good question, Durin's eyebrows trembled and raised, and a second thought came to his mind.....

This is indeed a mentally retarded person.

Chapter 6 Test shooting!

Chapter 6

In the dim little room, a little light fell through the magic crystal on the top of the room, creating a stable light source in the room. In the center of the room, two figures sat facing each other.

"Mr. Zat, welcome to the world after death."

A blue-haired woman wearing slightly revealing clothes smiled slowly and said, "Just now, you unfortunately died. Although it was only a short life, you are indeed dead."

Faced with the strange words said by this beautiful girl, Zat, who realized where he was late, raised his head in surprise, and then muttered to himself, "I see, in this case, I only have one question... the girl I bumped away..."

Seeing the other party's concern, the blue-haired goddess smiled and replied, "She is still alive."

"Too Well..." Zat heaved a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and said with a Madonna-like smile: "I didn't die in vain."

"? ?"

Seemingly not understanding what the other party said, the blue-haired goddess replied in surprise: "What do you mean? In fact, even if you didn't knock her away, the girl wouldn't be hurt at all."

"? ? ! !"

Seeing Zat's surprise, the goddess just flipped through the manual subtly and said helplessly: "The donkey cart would have stopped in front of the girl."

"Donkey cart? ?"

"Yes, donkey cart."

"What happened? Was I crushed to death by the donkey cart?"
