Don't call me Master, call me Director

"Isn't it the four major demon families?" Shen Er curled his lips, "I remember that the four major families have all fallen?"

"The other three families are indeed, but the Liangyi family is not." Zou Yan explained, "Their family can only be regarded as half out of the magic circle."

According to Zou Yan's explanation, and Shen Er's own knowledge to supplement, the second master roughly knows the situation of Liangyi's family.

Because of the mysterious decline, the four major exorcism families in Japan collapsed earlier than Mushroom set.

However, the Liangyi family of the four families is more knowledgeable about current affairs, and immediately switched careers to start a business after discovering the mysterious decline.

Relying on their relationship with magicians and their status as big families in the circle of ordinary people, the Liangyi family wandered between the two circles, helping other magician families handle some business matters.

It is not only a middleman between magicians and ordinary people, but also a white glove for many magician families.

With this hand, although the Liangyi family has completely declined in the magic way, it has become more and more prosperous in business, and even annexed the industries of the other three Tuemon families.

And because of the business relationship with many magician families, the Liangyi family left the original Guanbuzi City early and lived in Kyoto.

"So what does this have to do with my having to accept Miss Shi as an assistant?" Shen Er asked the question he was most concerned about.

Some of the opponent's intentions are too obvious, so he has to doubt it.

"Actually... After you came back from abroad, this family offered to marry you, but I stopped it. Because you said that you have to make up your own mind about your marriage, so I didn't agree to it requirements."

Zou Yan explained the cause and effect succinctly: "Actually... I think they are interested in your magic talent, and hope to use you to return to the magic world. After all, who is willing to give up after being exposed to the magic way? .”

"..."

Shen Er only felt a stomach ache, he didn't know whether he should be thankful that Grandpa didn't know about the matter between himself and Cloris.

"Depending on the situation, this family probably still hopes to get married with you. After all...the old magician family despises their not-so-regular magician family, and they are interested in the new family. In contrast, you It’s an ideal marriage partner.”

Zou Yan also has a clear mind for that family. The head of the Jiantong family for decades, the old man has long been a fine person.

"What I mean is that there is no harm in getting in touch with that little girl more. The Liangyi family has a lot of high-quality spiritual veins in their hands. Even if it is a normal cooperation, the two families can talk about it."

"I see."

Shen Er agreed with a strange expression.

"Speaking of which, Liangyi's family is really rich, and there are many related industries." Zou Yan said with a smile, "If you marry that little girl, you won't have to worry about money for the rest of your life."

"Tsk tsk, grandpa. Don't test me with this, I can't stand the test." Shen Er replied jokingly.

"Huh? Brat, why can't you stand this test?"

Although Zou Yan could feel that his grandson was joking, he also read some sincerity.

This made Zou Yan feel strange, since his grandson has been well-behaved since he came back from abroad.

It can't be said that he has stopped being a womanizer, but at least he hasn't had any scandals with any woman.

Why have you kept yourself clean for so many years, but today you can't hold back when you meet someone in a kimono?

"Grandpa, I am also a magician after all..."

Shen Er let out a long sigh, and said melancholy: "Didn't everyone say that one can become a magician by entering the root? I'm really afraid that I can't help being tempted to try..."

"What nonsense are you kidding?"

Zou Yan, who has never watched "The Realm of the Sky", is at a loss.

Chapter 158 Medusa: Gorgon travels, safe and fast every journey

Going into the root and becoming a magician or something, Shinji's words were of course a joke.

Relying on the two rituals of entering and exiting to reach the root or something, just listen to it as a joke, whoever really does it is a fool.

Not to mention that Liang Yi in this world has never received multiple personality education from the Liang Yi family. Whether she can still connect to the root is completely unknown.

Shen Er didn't have much feeling about the fact that Shi Shi would become his assistant.

In the eyes of the second master, it is impossible for the young lady of Jiao Didi to handle the complicated and trivial work of the assistant. In two months, the two ceremonies will probably shout to leave.

What Shen Er has to do is not to offend the eldest lady of the Liangyi family during this period, and she will naturally leave after experiencing the hardships of the people.

After attending the year-end banquet, Shen Er had the illusion that his work was over at the end of the year and he was ready to celebrate the New Year.

This was indeed an illusion, but Shen Er's body could not hold back and protested to his mind to rest.

Anyway, 8% of the post-production work of "Super 80" has been completed, and no matter how many ink marks after the Chinese New Year, it will definitely be sent to China for review in April.

Adhering to the tradition of fishing as much as possible before the dead line, Shen Er decided to give himself an early holiday this year.

But it is said that it is a holiday for himself, Shen Er can't lie at home all day doing nothing.

Shen Er intends to take this rare opportunity to visit various studios to fulfill his duties as a producer.

Don't look at the crew of the movie that was filmed in Fuyuki City, Shen Er was also named in it, but the second master really didn't go to the crew for a field trip.

Shen Er wanted to come to Fuyuki City, where the studio is so big and there are so many production crews. He would spend half a day in the morning and go back to the company in the afternoon to fish casually.

Of course, there is still a difference between the crew and the crew.

For those "adopted" crews, Shen Er really just went to see them in the past, but for the "biological" crews, Shen Er not only had to understand the filming progress of the crew, but also the current situation of the crew, and put forward relevant opinions.

Among them, Shen Er paid the most attention to the crew of "Seven X". Not only did Shen Er understand the crew in great detail when visiting the crew, but after visiting the crew, he even called the director, screenwriter and technical consultant to give them detailed instructions.

Originally, Shinji planned to ask Tsuburaya's director to shoot "Seven X", but unfortunately, several directors couldn't satisfy him.

Probably because he is used to shooting Japanese-style special feature films, the sets and storyboard drafts of these directors always give Shen Er a petty feeling.

So Shinji asked Cloris to look for suitable candidates in North America.

Not to mention, Miss Lissie really found a director who satisfied Shinji——Denis Villeneuve.

Although this director is currently not well-known in the film industry, he was considered a unique existence in Hollywood before Shinji's time travel.

"Arrival", "Blade Runner 2049", "Dune"... These excellent science fiction films directed by Denis Villeneuve all reflect the other party's excellent artistic aesthetics.

Especially "Blade Runner 2049", which is not inferior to the first cyberpunk movie, left a deep impression on Shen Er, which is also the most important reason why he finally finalized the other party.

Although Denis Villeneuve's overly strong personal aesthetics basically insulated his films from high box office, Shinji's filming of "Severn X" was not originally for the box office.

Compared with an 8-point movie that can make a lot of money, what Shinji needs is a beautiful 10-point movie.

It doesn't matter if "Severn X" can't be recognized by the old academics, as long as the core movie fans think this movie is good.

After those children who watched "Seven X" grow up and become leaders in the film industry, are they afraid that they will not have the right to speak?

"Dennis, you need to pay more attention to this movie."

On the set, Shen Er tirelessly exhorted: "Especially the set, you must make the audience feel that such a world really exists."

"I know, Producer Matou."

Denis Villeneuve nodded, keeping Shinji's request in mind.

Denis Villeneuve is still very grateful for Shen Er's support.

Don't look at him in 2000, relying on "The Vortex of Fascination" and won the Best Director of the 20th Canadian Gini Awards.

But the Oscar, the largest film award in North America, is not considered a big deal in the world. Who cares about the Canadian award!

If there is no Shinji Matou, he probably can only rely on various low-cost independent films to accumulate word-of-mouth in the North American film circle. How can he play such a big ticket?

Matou Shinji said that this film does not need to consider the box office, as long as it is made as he wants it to be.

This allowed Denis Villeneuve to work harder on the script of "Severn X" while yelling "the boss is magnificent".

The more he studied, Denis Villeneuve felt that this script was suitable for him.

In a future world where the material civilization is highly developed, but the spiritual civilization is extremely lacking, and the gap between the rich and the poor is huge, there are many stories that can be filmed just by thinking about it.

"Unfortunately, there is only one movie, and there is no way to cover all the interesting things." Denis Villeneuve sighed.

Shen Er glanced at him and said, "If "Seven X" can win the three European awards, I will invest in making an album and let you tell this story enough."

"Really?"

Denis Villeneuve could hardly believe it.

"Of course, work hard."

Shinji patted Denis Villeneuve on the shoulder and said encouragingly.

After Denis Villeneuve left happily, Shinji turned his head to Medea.

"How, he didn't see any flaws?"

The Canadian director is talented, but he is not a magician himself, and Medea needs to cover up some things involving magic in the crew.

"No problem." Medea smiled slightly, "I put most of the work that requires the use of magic before and after the shooting. If it really doesn't work and must be used during the shooting, I have used new technology to fool it."

Choosing an ordinary director to shoot "Seven X" was also an experiment by Shinji.

The future will definitely get bigger and bigger, and it is impossible to keep away ordinary people who don't understand magic. How to make the magicians and ordinary people in the crew live in harmony is also the subject of "Seven X".

"This guy is a smart guy. He doesn't care what the technical principle is, as long as it can achieve the effect he needs."

It can be seen that Medea is very satisfied with Denis Villeneuve.

"Pay attention, it doesn't matter if he really finds something, the big deal is a showdown."

Although ordinary people in the magic world cannot know that mystery is the iron law, the enforcement of this rule has always been a question mark.

Even in the mushroom story, there are too many things that ordinary people know about magic, let alone this world of mysterious decline.

As long as it is ensured that magic does not spread on a large scale, the magic world has always turned a blind eye.

Denis Villeneuve didn't know that magic was the best, even if he knew, it would be fine, just explain the matter clearly, and then send someone to watch him.

Anyway, Denis Villeneuve himself is a test, whether he knows it or not, Shen Er has already prepared a countermeasure.

After talking about the matter, Shen Er told Cu Chulainn to show 200% of his acting skills, and he left the crew after promising to finish the film.

On the way back, Shinji bought some gifts for Artoria and Sakura at the commercial street.

He bought two packs of snacks for Arturia and several exquisite handmade accessories for Sakura.

Due to the relationship between Shen Er who has been too stingy lately, the Matong family is restless, and Shen Er is going to please the two of them.

"Hopefully they can calm down a bit in the New Year after receiving the presents."

Looking at the scenery outside the car window, Shinji thought so.

"Master, when you were shopping just now, someone from the company was looking for you."

Medusa Lance who was serving as Shinji's driver suddenly spoke.

"What's the matter?"

Shen Er leaned his body on the comfortable back seat and asked with a satisfied face.

The company's work has long been ordered, and Shen Er doesn't think anything big will happen.

"Yanqing called. He said that a girl came to the company to report to you today, saying that she wanted to be your intern assistant." Medusa replied.

"Practice Assistant? Miss Shi?!"

Shen Er immediately sat up straight.

"Are the Liangyi family crazy? Are you really so impatient?"

Originally thought that no matter how eager the Liangyi family was, they would have to wait until the New Year was over before sending them over, but Shen Er didn't expect it to be so fast!

"Wait!" Shen Er suddenly thought of something, and asked nervously, "Who is in the company today?"

"How would I know?"

Medusa rolled her eyes and said helplessly.

Only then did Shen Er realize that he had asked the wrong person, so he called Brother Yi who stayed in the company: "Yan Qing, the newcomer..."

"Oh~Master, you mean that Miss Liangyi?"

Yan Qing's voice was very playful: "She is chatting happily with Ms. Knight Wang now. Miss Fam Solone is also beside her."

"Just the two of them?"

Shinji raised his eyebrows.

"Everyone is here... Ah, that's right, that's right. Miss Flora is also here, but she has been staring at that Miss Liangyi. Oh, hoo hoo~~"

Yan Qing's words were full of malice.

So you gang of unscrupulous heroes are just watching the monkey show? !
