Don't call me Master, call me Director

Use this kind of words to threaten Servant to work hard, boss, please save some bamboo shoots for the giant pandas in Sichuan, don't starve those endangered animals.

"Master, you know me, I will never make fun of work."

Hearing Cu Chulainn's repeated promise to finish "Severn X", Shinji let him go.

After asking a few more questions about the progress of the reshoots, Shinji and Ophelia left.

But Shen Er didn't leave the set, but walked to the depths of the studio to check another crew that had just established a project and was training actors.

The two did not enter the studio, but went directly to the specially set up fitness room nearby, and as expected, the two ceremonies were here.

Under the guidance of a professional trainer, Shiki, who is wearing a cherry-colored kimono, is practicing how to swing a long Japanese sword with her hands.

Under her graceful dancing, the long sleeves of the kimono looked like a rain of cherry blossoms in spring.

Even though he is brandishing a weapon, people can feel the gentleness of Yamato Nadeko. This should be the unique charm of the two ceremonies.

Chapter 292 The Press Conference Is Used to Make Big News

In the fitness room, seeing Shen Er walking in, he immediately smiled.

Shen Er waved at her as a response.

He didn't disturb the practice of the two rituals, and Shen Er didn't come forward to talk to her until the end of this set of movements.

"Oh, Brother Shinji, and Ophelia, you all came to see me."

The two ceremonies greeted Shen Er lively. Seeing her slightly lively appearance, the quiet beauty in the practice just now seemed to be just an illusion.

"It's only been a while, and Miss Shi has already played well."

Shen Er laughed and joked at the two ceremonies: "Sure enough, the results of skipping classes and practicing hard are different~"

"Brother Shen Er, I have completed my work as an intern assistant!"

Two ceremonies pouted and complained: "There are two wages, how can I not make money?"

"I'm living alone in Fuyuki City, but I'm very poor."

This is of course not the truth, how could the Liangyi family beat the second young lady of the poor family.

The monthly pocket money for both ceremonies is much higher than her salary.

The reason why she didn't resign from her job as an assistant was because her father repeatedly asked her to stay with Matou Shinji.

It can be seen that Mr. Liangyi is still determined to make something happen to his daughter and Shen Er.

It's a pity that in Shen Er's heart, Shi Jie is just a spare tire, and she is still a spare tire at the very rear.

It's not that Second Master doesn't like Miss Shi, but that marrying Miss Shi is somewhat similar to marrying Cloris.

There are so many good-looking young ladies of heroic spirits, if I don’t get shot, I’ll hang myself from a tree, am I panicking?

Therefore, Shinji, who was not going to continue talking about the assistant position, naturally shifted the topic to the movie.

"Before the movie is shot, your knife-wielding level must meet the requirements of the movie, otherwise you can only be eliminated."

The knife skills of the two rituals are the most important part of the action scene of "King Jing", and it is also a major selling point of the movie.

The Shijie in this world is a pure 24K young lady with ten fingers that do not touch the spring water. Before receiving training, she had no experience in martial arts or training in killing ghosts.

For fighting skills and so on, Miss Shi really has to start from scratch.

If Shijie really can't meet Shinji's requirements, he will replace her without hesitation, and then summon a female Japanese hero to play the leading role.

Of course, that is only the last option, and it is also an incentive for the two ceremonies.

As long as the final training results are passable, Shen Er will not replace Shiki.

At worst, for some fierce fighting scenes, Yingling will be used as a stand-in, and Shijie can do a few poses in the ending scene.

[In the words of Deputy Station Master Yu, this is the basic principle of filming. 】

Shinji thought inwardly.

Liang Ri didn't know Shen Er's thoughts. In her eyes, she was purely dispensable to the project "Empty Realm".

"Brother Shen Er, the training is only for this time, right?" The two ceremonies said flatteringly, "It's too short, so why can't we make it longer? There's no need to be in such a hurry, right? Isn't it that the movie script hasn't been worked out yet?"

Unlike Cu Chulainn, Liang Ritual is the first time to make a movie with Shen Er, and he doesn't understand the enchantment of the boss' brother at all.

"The script of the movie has already been decided." Shen Er tilted his head and smiled, ""King Jing" will be a series of works. I have already prepared the scripts of several main stories. Now it is a matter of choosing which one will be the series. It's just the first one."

"Is it......"

This answer made the two ceremonies both happy and worried. The happy thing is that "The Realm of the Sky" is not a product of Matou Shinji's play, he has the idea of ​​making it bigger.

The worry is that if I don't work harder, I will really be kicked out of this project by Shen Er.

"Don't do that kind of thing!"

The two ceremonies where the sense of crisis broke out did not bother to continue chatting with Shen Er, and she hurried to find a trainer to start a new round of training.

"Liangyi, she really wants to be an actress."

Looking at the sweaty two rituals, Ophelia sighed involuntarily.

"Boss, toying with a girl's heart is a serious sin~"

Ophelia glanced at Shinji and reminded.

The little secretary who has been with the second master of course knows that the director brother has no intention of changing the leading role from the beginning to the end.

"It makes her more motivated." Shen Er showed no remorse on his face, "Being a celebrity is a lot of pressure, if she can't bear this, then don't enter this circle."

Ophelia shook her head helplessly: "Anyway, boss, you are right."

Shen Er smiled and patted the little secretary: "How is it? Seeing that Miss Shi is so serious, Ophelia, do you have the idea of ​​being an actress? If so, I can write a script for you~"

Ophelia vetoed it without even thinking about it: "It's hard enough being a secretary by your side, the boss, don't add more workload to me."

"Haha~"

"Speaking of which," Ophelia asked as if thinking of something, "boss, haven't you decided which story to shoot first? Time Group will soon ask you to submit a specific project proposal."

"Well... I still have some doubts..."

Just as Shen Er was thinking, his cell phone rang suddenly.

A strange call came from Shen Er's work number.

It stands to reason that Shen Er should hang up the suspicious calls with more than 70% possibility of fraud.

But he didn't do that. Instead, he picked up the phone and asked politely, "Hello, who is it?"

The voice from the other side made Shinji smile in relief, which made the corners of Ophelia's mouth tighten.

Although she couldn't hear it clearly, she could tell that the other party was a woman.

"Okay, I see. I will wait for you in Fuyuki City."

After a brief communication with the opposite party, Shen Er smiled and hung up the phone.

"Is it your new lover, boss?"

Ophelia asked eagerly.

Shen Er shook his phone and said, "No, it's your old colleague."

"Old colleague?"

Ophelia, who didn't understand what Shinji was talking about, hit a big "?" on top of her head.

Shen Er laughed loudly and patted the little secretary's thigh, which felt awesome: "Haha, let's go. The first story of "Empty Realm" has been finalized."

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

A few days later, Shen Er held a press conference in the news hall of Xingyue Company.

The content of the press conference is naturally a picture...

Bah, the content is to promote several key projects of Xingyue in the future.

The first to be mentioned by Shinji is naturally "Seven X", which will be unveiled at the Venice Film Festival.

Although Tsuburaya and Xingyue Mingming are two companies on the surface, but the leading actor Cu Chulainn is an actor of Xingyue, so there is no problem in promoting it at the last press conference.

"It can be said that this "Seven X" will be a completely different sci-fi work from the previous Ultraman series."

In the face of countless reporters, Shen Er said: "The hero Seven is no different from the traditional Ultraman, but we have given him a more realistic style, making the omnipotent hero in the previous Ultraman series Pull down the altar."

The dark cyberpunk style of "Seven X" will be the highlight of the whole movie, and the description of the hero's powerlessness is the core of the whole movie.

"In this movie, Seven is no longer a god, he can no longer solve problems, he can only be a powerless bystander."

Shen Er continued to emphasize: "Whether it is a TV series in the Showa era or an OV in the Heisei era before, Seven always looks at the relationship between the earth and the universe from a high position. This time, he will be the leader of the whole event. witnesses."

"This process will be very painful for Seven, because the stories he experiences are neither perfect nor beautiful, and what he gets will only be naked [chì] naked humanity."

"In order to make the audience more immersive, I designed the protagonist of the story as an amnesiac. The audience will explore the world in the movie with him, find themselves in it, and get an answer that belongs only to them."

I have to say that the operation of pulling Ultraman down from the altar in "Severn X" can be said to be a stroke of genius.

Don't look at the past Ultraman works that often emphasize that Ultraman is not a god, but compared to weak humans, the powerful Ultraman is undoubtedly a god-like existence.

Although this god is not perfect or omnipotent, he can at least solve most of the problems in the story, and even make choices for human beings.

In contrast, "Severn X" is the first and the only work in which Ultraman keeps failing and cannot get perfect results.

Compared with "Nexus" and "Leo", which have always been said to be dark and adult-oriented, "Severn X" is a work that should not be read by children.

You know, at the end of the original case of "Severn X", even if the real Seven appeared on the stage and eliminated the enemy, the world did not achieve peace, let alone usher in a bright future, but fell into almost endless chaos.

This kind of Bad End is not a rare problem in the history of Ultraman, but unique.

In the eyes of Shen Er, a die-hard fan of Tesho, "Seven X" is a work worth talking about, but it's a pity that Tsuburaya in his previous life was too disappointing and failed to show the essence of the original case due to various reasons.

"Hmph, this time I have to intervene, so I must present this story in its entirety."

Shen Er knew that the dark wind of "Seven X" would make the film a commercial failure.

But he didn't make this movie for the box office, he rushed as soon as he jumped, and it was more important whether he could write a key stroke in the history of movies.

After introducing "Seven X", Shinji then introduced Xingyue's first idol group to the reporters——Round Table Three Idiots!

Ah, no.

It's [Three Knights of the Round Table]!

The establishment of the idol group Three Idiots of the Round Table is a big event for Xingyue Company's management affairs.

Of course, Shinji will announce this news to everyone at this grand press conference, so that audiences all over the world can see the charm of Gawain, Drizzt and Lancelot.

"Let's invite three members of the team to come on stage!"

Under Shen Er's introduction, the three Knights of the Round Table appeared in the public eye as idols for the first time.

Chapter 293 Reporter: I want to make a big news!

"Reconstruct Ultraman?"

In the news hall of Xingyue Building, a reporter looked at Shen Er and Xingyue's press spokesman above, and said to another reporter beside him: "Is he in a fight with Ultraman? I'm going to play with this IP Come?"

"Who knows, he said that he has admired Ultraman since he was a child, and now it seems that it is not a lie."

Another reporter speculated: "Otherwise, with the strength of this young director, he definitely doesn't need to pay so much attention to the Ultraman series."

"Forget it, I care more about the male idol group he is launching now than the Ultraman Dark Wind he said. Oh, these three guys look good."

I have to say that the three idiots of the round table, who are not stupid, have good looks and temperament. They immediately attracted the attention of the reporters when they appeared on the stage, and all kinds of flashing lights never stopped.

"Matou Shinji plays this, does Johnny know?"

Looking at the three Sanshas who were making announcements in a serious manner, at first the reporter touched his chin and asked.

The reporter who spoke to him just now said: "I heard that the operation of this idol group is outsourced to Johnny's."

"real or fake?"

Several reporters around heard this and immediately came together.

"Jennis actually outsources to others. Did the sun come out of bed?"

"Is the old ghost of Johnny's family dementia? He didn't directly sign these three actors?!"
