I'm shooting anime in another world

But under this situation, Du Lin suddenly realized that in order to film this scene, the work he had done far exceeded what a director should do.

Because Du Lin's responsibilities are not only the director's work - directing performances and designing shots, he actually takes over all the work in the entire filming of live-action animation film and television dramas.

He needs to personally find actors and be responsible for scripts, lens design, photography, prop production, and special effects design. For an ordinary director with this kind of workload, he would probably be bald.

But fortunately this is a world with magic, and Du Lin himself is a powerful magician. Otherwise, ordinary people would not be able to make a qualified live-action animation film and television series in this era. Of course, this It was only because of Dulin's personal persistence that he was able to do this.

What makes him so persistent, apart from the 50,000 yuan debt the Edward family currently owes, is his determination to try to change the world.

The more he comes into contact with ordinary people in this world, the more dissatisfied Dulin becomes with this world. Whenever he sees these people sitting on the street basking in the sun every day, they don't know what to do once they lose their jobs. At this time, he had a feeling of powerlessness that he would also fall into this boring state.

It is clear that magic exists, and the stories of adventurers are sung by bards all day long, but everyone seems to be used to such boring daily life and has no motivation to make life better.

Although he understands that this is the limitation of the times, at least Du Lin, a person from outside the times, is not willing to fall into such a situation. Even if it is just a slight change, he is willing to try, at least compared to being assimilated by these boring people. Indulging in boring power struggles and magic research every day, he would rather spend his time on seemingly meaningless things like making anime.

After all, these are all traces that he belongs to another world. If he abandons these, how can he say that he has come to another world?

.......

"The excavation team is ready. That guy named Zate, hurry up and get the tools."

"Has the wood been shipped?"

"Girl over there, come quickly and get some water!"

As the construction site was completed, the construction of the outpost began immediately. During this process, Du Lin, who was located in the corner, kept recording the scenes here. At the same time, for the sake of expressiveness, he took almost all the pictures. These scenes of Zate and Aya being exhausted, although this is a bit sorry for the two people who have tried their best to work, but this is a precious opportunity to sacrifice oneself for art, and others cannot snatch it away even if they want to!

Yes, this is what Dulin said before about how to shoot without confusing the locals. Shoot with a practical attitude, so that the things you shoot will be more realistic.

Although it was a bit painful for Zate and Aya, the actors in this world were not fresh meat from another world after all. Du Lin had no idea of ​​finding substitutes for them. They had to do these things themselves.

Moreover, this scene is not planned to be shot for a long time. Du Lin only needs to shoot some random shots before the outpost is built, and then use the fusion crystal to edit it casually.

"The main point of this scene is to show the difference between your daily life and that of adventurers, causing a contrast that makes the audience laugh, so the more exaggerated the actions, the better, and the performance should be as powerful as possible!"

During the break, Du Lin told the two people who were eating lunches. Zate and Aya, who did not expect to be squeezed by Du Lin during their hard-earned break, showed tired expressions.

On the other side, Wen Li, who had returned from running around, took a handwritten work schedule and explained Du Lin's requirements to the 'extra performers' working on the venue, such as not working too fast and not paying too much attention to Zate. The relationship between Aya and Du Lin and so on...

In a sense, Wen Li is already half an assistant director. Du Lin, who was thinking about what kind of salary should be offered to him in the future, was about to step forward to praise him when Wen Li hurried away in the distance. He came over and handed over the towel and water glass and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Du Lin. Remember to take a good rest."

Unexpectedly, the other party would take care of him first. Du Lin, who showed a wry smile, just took the towel and water glass, and then said: "You are the one who worked hard, accompanying me to do these stupid things."

"It's okay. In other words, I'm also looking forward to it. I'm looking forward to the moment when your work is completed, Mr. Dulin..."

Wen Li said with a certain light of expectation in her eyes, but Du Lin, who could understand this idea, just smiled and touched the other person's head, nodded and smiled at Wen Li's slightly embarrassed look: "Don't worry. , we will see it soon!”

Chapter 12 Looking for Giant Slime

Chapter 12

At noon, in the dirty stable, when Du Lin finished shooting the last scene, the scene of the first entry into the adventurer town was almost finished.

"Although the light is not very good, you two performed very well. That's it for today."

Following Du Lin's announcement, Zate and Aya, who were used to switching between acting and normal states, also trotted out and followed. Originally, they thought Du Lin would really let them sleep in the stable. To be honest, In such a bad environment, the rest room of the Knight's Office is much better.

What they are most looking forward to is what kind of dinner the lord will take them to for dinner. After all, they still haven't forgotten Wenli's meal in Edward's Castle, let alone coming to this big place they have never been to. The city of Nosric.

As for this, Du Lin showed a prepared smile, and then asked Wen Li, who was waiting outside, to hand them the meal packed in a box and said: "This is the standard lunch box for actors. There will be new ones in the future." All the actors who joined us also eat this, don’t worry, Wen Li borrowed the kitchen of a house here to cook it herself, and the food made by those chefs is not much better than this. "

Although Wen Li only considered this approach to save money at first, when it was actually implemented, Du Lin really felt that this was a good idea. After all, you can't take these actors to restaurants every day. After the film is filmed, Then take all the actors together to have a meal, have a party or something, this will be decent.

Therefore, Du Lin ordered Wen Li to make something like a lunch box and distribute it to everyone after the filming. Of course, this is basically a special gift for the leading actors. After all, if every extra actor can receive a lunch box, That would probably really tire Wen Li to death.

Unexpectedly, there would be such a thing. Zate and Aya each received a lunch box from Wen Li. After opening it, they found that the meals were neatly packaged together, and because of the seal, they were still a little warm.

"It's delicious, this one."

"Yeah, it's obviously just an ordinary meal, but I always feel that it tastes better after being packaged like this."

The two people's emotions made Du Lin, who was also eating his lunch, smile. He also sat down on the ground while eating his lunch, and said, "You have read the script, so you should know that there will be something new next. Actors join us."

"Well, uh, but Mr. Du Lin...Director, where are you going to find actors? I remember that they are a magician who can only use explosion magic and can only use one shot a day, and a super swordsman. , but a very hard-core masochistic female knight... To be honest, I always find this setting very strange..."

Regarding Zate's emotion while burying his head in eating, Du Lin just smiled and said: "I already have a candidate for the former, and we can start filming directly when she arrives. For the latter, I plan to issue a commission to the Adventurer's Guild without asking for it. Too high, as long as she is a female adventurer who meets the requirements and is obedient and willing to endure hardships. After all, there was no such thing as filmmaking in this world before ours, so there is no problem if her acting skills are a little inferior."

"Anyway, the director has the final say. Before we find the actors, what else are we going to shoot?"

Zate's speech made Aya, who was licking the box at the side, also look over. Although the two of them had read the script, just like the story about the Adventurer's Guild that was deleted before, it was Du Lin who decided what to film. .

In this regard, Du Lin just said lightly: "Afterwards? To be honest, the props and actors are not ready yet. According to my idea, I plan to wait for everyone to arrive before filming."

"That's okay, but director, how are you going to get this giant frog in the script? In my impression, there seems to be no such thing among the World of Warcraft in this world."

Hearing the key question raised by Zate, Dulin also nodded. He understood that although this world has various wonderful creatures that he had never heard of before traveling, it is a pity that even this world does not have the kind of "For" The giant frog in "Blessings to a Beautiful World".

So, after thinking for a while, Du Lin slowly said: "Although there are no giant frogs, there are slimes. I have seen some super-large slimes in the monster manual of the Mage Tower before, but I just don't know. Where to buy it?”

"Slime? There are basically no wild monsters in our southern region, so I have never seen a slime in my life."

Zate's words made Dulin frown. Understanding that this problem needed to be solved, the latter thought for a while and said, "I remember that there seem to be specialized monster dealers in ordinary towns. Low-level and useless slimes like Monsters that are easy to feed seem to be very popular.”

"Ah, I've seen it too. There are silver wolf cubs for sale there! They're really cute!"

Wen Li's words verified Du Lin's proposal. Obviously, this other world does have so-called pet shops. However, due to the special nature of this world, the pet shops sold are not ordinary pets, but some that are not harmful to humans. Warcraft.

"Anyway, a dead horse is a living horse doctor. Let's go to the pet...monster shop first. Maybe we can find a rare giant slime. Even if there isn't one, you can ask."

So, under Du Lin's decision, a group of people immediately walked to the town excitedly. Looking back, they had never been idle since the beginning when they came here for filming. Now they finally had time to take a look at this man named Nuo. The town of Slickland.

.......

As one of the largest towns in the South, Northric has perfect transportation, a variety of shops, and dazzlingly prosperous streets. The exclamations of Wenli and others almost never stopped.

Regarding this, Du Lin, who had seen the imperial capital and the prosperity of another world, did not have much emotion. He just slowly came to a monster shop on the corner after asking passers-by.

According to passers-by, the owner of this monster shop often travels around and has rich experience. As long as it is a monster that exists in reality, he will be able to tell you more or less some clues.

Therefore, with some expectations, Dulin opened the door of the monster shop and entered the room. What everyone saw was a zoo-like scene, with all kinds of monsters moving around in the room without any restraints. There is not even a fence, so there is no doubt about where you have entered.

When he saw a customer coming in, the owner of the shop immediately came to greet him and said, "Welcome to the monster shop. Is there anything you need?"

The owner of the shop is a man in his twenties or thirties. Although he looks a little older because of his gray hair, he does look young.

In this regard, just when Du Lin wanted to say something, a pair of furry ears suddenly appeared behind the shop owner. Before everyone could show their surprised expressions, a girl with animal ears and a tail ran from behind the shop owner. out.

Chapter 13 Advertising Power Generation

Chapter 13

The orc girl in the distance looked in his direction in a panic, while Dulin, who saw an orc for the first time in his life, showed a surprised expression, and then asked instinctively: "Uh... ..Can this child also be sold?”

"Haha, guests, please don't make such jokes..."

Although the shop owner was nervous for a moment, after seeing Du Lin's apparently unintentional words, he couldn't help but explain: "There are basically no orcs in the south, so there is nothing you can do if you don't know. This child is Orcs are not monsters and cannot be bought or sold.”

"Orc?"

Although he had heard similar stories in the Imperial Capital in the past, and had watched a lot of beast-girl anime in his previous life, Du Lin, who saw a real beast-man for the first time, still showed curiosity. Although Wen Li and others on the other side did not behave like He was so obvious, but he was also more or less curious.

Seeing their appearance, the shop owner couldn't help but smile and said: "You have never been to the Western Territory, so you don't know that there is an orc kingdom on the land outside the Western Territory of the Empire. There are all kinds of orcs living there. I even heard that there are half Elves and other sub-races of the elves exist. However, due to the empire’s dumping trade against the orc kingdom and the warring faction’s attempts to colonize, the relationship between the empire and the orc kingdom has gradually become tense in recent years. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to see the presence of orcs.”

"As for this child, I picked it up in a local orc village when I went to the Western Region. She seemed to have been abandoned by her original parents at that time, and I happened to pass by there because I was searching for rare monsters. It was a strange combination of circumstances. She took the child in by mistake, and even though she was separated from her family, she didn’t seem to care about it.”

The shopkeeper said this with a doting look. Although the orc girl he took in seemed to be fifteen or sixteen years old, in his eyes, she seemed to be just an ordinary child.

"I see."

Dulin nodded and glanced at the orc girl. Some animation scenes appeared in his mind. At the same time, for possible future shooting considerations, he also tried to say to the orc girl: "Can I know your name?"

"...."

There was no response. The girl's big watery eyes looked back at Du Lin. At the same time, the shopkeeper on the side said quickly: "She doesn't have a name yet. It seems because she doesn't want to recall the past. No matter how I ask her, She didn’t even say her past name, so I didn’t dare to give her a random name.”

"I see, can I know your name, owner? My name is Dulin Edward."

"Of course, Mr. Dulin, my name is Lawrence, and I am the manager of this monster shop."

After hearing the other party's words, Du Lin understood that the topic of orcs had ended. Although he still had some things he wanted to ask, he realized that business was important and asked immediately: "So, Store Manager Lawrence, I'm here this time. The purpose is to find a creature called a giant slime. I heard that you are traveling around, so I must have some clues.”

"Giant...slime?"

Lawrence, who showed a surprised expression, couldn't help but said after thinking for a moment: "Although there is, this kind of monster is not only corrosive to a certain extent, but also cannot be kept as a pet like ordinary slimes. When I hunted When I came here, I just thought it would be a waste not to collect such strange monsters, but I regretted it after I found out that no one was willing to buy them.”

"Is there actually one? Don't worry, I want all the giant slimes you have. Price is not an issue."

Du Lin, who didn't expect this problem to be solved so easily, smiled, while Lawrence nodded and murmured: "Okay, but to be honest, fewer and fewer people are willing to spend money to buy monsters recently. , the nobles in the city had the idea of ​​coming to my store to buy young silver wolves. However, due to some force majeure accident, his youngest son was bitten. After this rumor spread, there were even fewer people in the city who dared to buy monsters. If in a few months no one would be willing to buy monsters. If so, I have already planned to take this child to travel to other towns to seek further development. "

"So that's it..."

Following Lawrence into the real monster room inside, Du Lin was surprised that the monsters in this monster shop far exceeded his imagination, whether it was the cute slime, silver-grey wolf, or the slightly terrifying goblin, giant spider, almost all kinds of monsters gathered here.

As if aware of Du Lin's surprise, Lawrence just smiled and said: "Are you surprised why there are so many monsters here? In fact, I used to like traveling very much. I captured all kinds of monsters while traveling around. Although it is very troublesome to take care of them, I don't think it is a annoying thing. However, if this store eventually goes bankrupt, I am afraid I will have to say goodbye to these monsters. After all, the financial resources required to take care of them are really a big burden..."

Hearing Lawrence's words, Du Lin, who felt his eyes glowing, hurriedly said: "Great, if there are so many "Extras", Manager Lawrence, I have a proposal now. Are you interested?"

"Proposal?"

In response to the man's confusion, Du Lin smiled and said, "Yes, or a deal, a deal that can save this monster store. In simple terms, it is advertising, yes, advertising, Mr. Lawrence, have you heard of advertising? Something that can make a living by generating electricity."

"Are you talking about the kind of paper posted on the wall? ? "

Obviously, due to the invention of papermaking and printing technology in this world, small advertisements posted on the wall have come into being, but the advertisements that Du Lin is talking about are naturally not just things of this level.

Seeing that Lawrence was increasingly unable to understand his words, Du Lin, who was no longer keeping him in suspense, explained the meaning of video advertising after organizing his language, and pointed out that as long as Lawrence was willing to rent his monsters to Du Lin, Du Lin would appropriately insert some monster advertisements in the film he shot. Of course, he would not insert them in the main film, but more intended to insert some monster advertisements in the middle of the cutscenes, or at the end.

In this way, not only can monsters accumulate a certain amount of popularity and save this endangered monster shop, but also allow Du Lin to have a large number of monster-related "extras", which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

After hearing his explanation, although Lawrence didn't know what "filming" and "advertising" meant, he could roughly hear Du Lin's enthusiasm and said generously: "If it is rented, of course it can be. After all, if it can't survive these few months, this store will probably go bankrupt directly. Compared to that, Mr. Du Lin, what you said is a bit incomprehensible to me, but at least it is indeed a possible way to save this monster shop, right? Of course I agree."

"Haha, don't worry, if the film is really shot, you must remember not to be scared by the crowds! It's okay to ask us for help at that time."

"I hope so."

Although Lawrence didn't say it clearly, he obviously didn't completely believe Du Lin's words. After all, relying on just one advertisement to get countless people to come to his monster shop to buy monsters and so on, isn't this too beautiful?

Chapter 14 New Actor

Chapter 14

"Director, are we really going to use this to act? To be honest, I always feel that something is wrong..."

Facing the giant slime that was bigger than himself being transported down from the grassland, Zat, who felt a little dizzy, couldn't help but ask such a question, and on the other side...

"What are you talking about? Don't you think such a big slime is cute?"

"Yes, yes, if it wouldn't cause trouble for Lord Edward, I would have wanted to take it home to raise it."

"It's pretty cute."

Whether it was Aya, Winry or Du Lin, they all expressed completely different views from Zat, and the reason was very simple. The first two were because of the completely different aesthetics of women and men, and Du Lin was because in the eyes of modern people, this jelly-like object that sparkles in the sun is indeed very cute.

Seeing them like this, Lawrence, who was helping to transport the monsters or props for the filming, couldn't help but smile and said, "I suddenly feel a little confident when you say that. Maybe everyone will like these cute children through the film you made, Director Du Lin."

Obviously, Lawrence has learned from Du Lin what he is doing now. Although he still can't imagine what a "film" will look like, he is also very keen to give these monsters he raised a chance to perform.

So, after tidying up the venue, the filming of the next scene began again. This time, the plot of the filming is the first adventure that Zat and Aqua embarked on without the help of other companions. The task is to defeat the giant slime that occupied the grassland!

And because slime is more corrosive than giant frogs, Du Lin also specially reminded Aya and told her that he had deleted the scene where she was swallowed by the giant frog. After all, it is impossible to do post-production. Considering the personal safety of the actors, this is the most reasonable approach.

Therefore, after arranging the two leading actors to wear the clothes for filming, Du Lin asked Zat to put his knight's long sword on his waist, and after the actors took their positions, the filming began again.

......

"Help! Aqua!! Save me! Wow!!"

"Pfft~~Kuskus!! It's not good, he said it so funny!! Zat really said it with his face red and tears, and he said it so desperately!!"

In response to this, Zate, who was being chased by a giant slime, couldn't help showing a gritted teeth expression: "When it's all over, bury that guy!!"

Not knowing what the other party was thinking, Aqua, who was admiring the scenery from a high place, couldn't help but smile and said: "Zate, if you want me to save you! Just call me Miss first!"

"Please, Ms. Aqua!!"

While Zate abandoned his dignity for the first time and shouted for his life, Aqua also burst out laughing and said loudly: "Hahaha, I really can't do anything to you, so I'll help you! You stay at home! Squat, but as a price, you must worship me starting tomorrow, join the Axis Cult when you return to town, and pray to me three times a day!”

Aqua, who couldn't stop talking, was completely immersed in her own world. She didn't even notice that the giant slime in the distance was rushing towards her. At the same time, she kept saying: "Also, eat. When I say you want to eat food, you can't resist at all and serve it to me honestly. You can't scold me even if you snore and wake me up by pinching your nose when you're sleeping. And there's more, ah ah... ....”

"...."

As the dark blue slime completely engulfed a gushing goddess, Zate, who originally planned to see how the god planned to perform, ran over immediately and said: "How come you were eaten! !”
