Don't call me Master, call me Director

Shen Er gave the other party a hearty smile.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

In fact, some people are more anxious to see FSN's soaring box office than the film critic group.

That is the group of magicians in Japan.

As a movie made by a magician, and there are various profound and mysterious movies in it, the magician world has never stopped paying attention to FSN.

But as time goes by, except for a small number of old diehards who are too focused on mystery, more and more magicians have focused their attention on FSN's box office.

No way, who asked Shen Erye to let Bandai include the box office data of the movie on all promotional materials for publicity?It's hard for magicians not to notice.

At the beginning, everyone didn't care about it, and thought it was a good thing that their own people could make money by making movies, but the more they thought about it, the more they felt something was wrong.

In fact, as early as the second week of FSN when it topped the box office with 6.3 million yen, some magicians had some thoughts in their hearts.

And when the movie box office reached 13.7 billion yen in the third week, and the total exceeded 20 billion yen, the magicians became very restless.

"Fuck! This is money grabbing! No, money grabbing doesn't come so quickly!"

"So much money? Can filming make so much money?"

"20 billion yen! What will happen if this is invested in researching the mystery!!"

......

Well, to sum it up, this group of magicians is sore.

Chapter 32 The new idol of housewives all over Japan

It's not incomprehensible for magicians to covet FSN's super-high box office. After all, researching magic these days is a project with a disproportionate input and output.

With the decline of the mystery, the magicians spend more and more on the study of the mystery, but the results they can get are getting lower and lower.

But magicians are obsessed with the mystery, the pursuit of the root, and the countless painstaking efforts of the previous generations. They are not willing to give up the path of studying the mystery, so they can only grit their teeth and stick to it.

Many magician families consumed their property in the process and became poor ghosts.

Although there is no lack of political and business leaders among the magicians or land rich people like the Matou family, most of the magician families are in decline like the Tohsaka family.

The appearance of FSN seems to be the first light of dawn, and the magicians discovered that magic can still be used to make money in this way, and it is a lot of money.

Even if the yen is not very valuable, 20 billion yen is not a small amount. Many clock tower research departments do not spend 20 billion yen a year.

Although everyone knows that the 20 billion yen is definitely not all from the producer, but everyone knows that 20 billion yen is definitely not the end of FSN.

Because in the fourth week, FSN's box office took another step forward, reaching 15.6 billion yen, which made FSN's Japanese box office directly break through the 30 billion yen mark, reaching 35.6 billion yen.

The reason is that Shen Erye managed to mobilize another huge movie-watching group in Japan-Japanese housewives.

Don't underestimate these wives who spend most of the day at home. According to the statistics of the Japanese entertainment industry, they are the largest entertainment consumer group in Japan, even higher than children and otaku.

The reason is simple, housewives control the finances of the family and have a lot of free time.

Having money and leisure, and having nothing else to do except housework, this kind of life creates excellent conditions for Japanese wives to follow stars and watch dramas.

Johnny's Office was promoted by housewives to the seat of Japan's No. [-] office.

Shen Erye’s method of mobilizing these wives is also very simple. He specially edited an advertisement for FSN sportsmen, and asked Bandai to put it in the housewives’ favorite daytime drama.

This was the reminder that the little girl who was obsessed with Gilgamesh was reminded Shen Er at the screening, making him realize that this oldest king has the ability to conquer most of the women in the world with his looks Charm.

Originally, Master Shen was going to use Gilgamesh as a backhand. If the box office really couldn't keep up, he would release Gilgamesh to attract housewives to watch the movie.

As a result, Shen Erye's box office skyrocketed before he could exert his strength, which turned Gilgamesh from a hole card to a score card.

But it can't give charcoal in the snow, and the icing on the cake is also good.

At least Gilgamesh's appearance is really lethal to those wives. The wives who were fascinated by the handsome Gilgamesh in the trailer dragged their families to the cinema to watch FSN.

After watching the movie, they complained that Gilgamesh had too few roles, while keeping Mr. Jin's photo.

Because at the end of the trailer, Shen Er proposed an activity of giving away character photos after watching FSN movies.

This move has attracted housewives all over Japan who want to get a picture of Gilgamesh.

I just don’t know how many mothers will secretly hide the photo of Gilgamesh when giving the gift photo to their children.

Anyway, Illya told Shinji that the portraits of Gilgamesh in her school have become the rarest existence, and the number of publications of Gilgamesh's portraits is obviously the same as that of Saber and Shirou.

"Why do so many women like the face of that golden-haired monkey?"

Sakura, who heard from Shinji that Gilgamesh's portraits were out of stock, made complaints about Artoria and Medusa by her side while shopping.

In Sakura's eyes, Gilgamesh, who caused a lot of trouble for the filming work, is simply a burden to the crew, why can he get such high attention.

"Sakura, you need to know one thing." Medusa pushed her glasses, "Vision is a very good supplement when you don't know the specific situation of the other party, not to mention that guy with a twisted personality is not bad looking."

"But Rider, you also admit that he has a bad personality, right? Artoria, what do you think?"

Sakura was still unwilling, she turned her head to look at Arturia hoping to get more approval.

Arturia, who was gnawing on a meat bun, tilted her head: "Well...it's normal for the Master to be popular, right? Who made him resemble Sir Lancelot."

"What does this have to do with my brother?"

Arturia asked in confusion: "A person who is good-looking but has a bad personality, isn't this the Master?"

"Ah!"

Shinji, who was shot inexplicably, sneezed loudly.

With all kinds of publicity added by Shen Erye to FSN, the box office of the film soared like a wild horse, and even brought a wave of movie viewing in April, which is not the peak season for movies.

Many media are predicting that FSN may become Japan's first movie with a box office of over [-] billion this year, and is even expected to become this year's box office champion.

Although those media wrote their predictions in an explosive and exaggerated direction, after the publication of the article about FSN's final box office predictions, it made those critics who clamored that the movie was a bad movie very popular, and at the same time let those The magician family had some different thoughts.

Back then, when the Matou family was preparing to make a movie, they also sent invitations to the Japanese magician family.

All the magicians unanimously used "Shut up, you are making me study mysteries!" as an excuse to shirk.

As a result, now that they have made money, everyone is greedy again.

No way, that's 100 billion yen! !

Any random deductions are enough for the magicians to start several new topics.

So many heads of magician families contacted Matou Zouyan one after another.

Whether it was attacking from the sidelines or directly asking questions, in short, he wanted to take part in the plans of the Matou family.

A thick-skinned guy directly fell in love with Shen Er, who was the core of the project, and proposed marriage to Zouyan Matou with a shy face.

Probably "My family has a daughter (granddaughter), who looks both hooked and flirtatious. She and your Shen Er are really talented and beautiful. They are a natural match. How about we get married?"

Of course, there are some magicians who look down on worldly things, and they value magic more.

Some of them chose to come to ask for advice, hoping that Shen Er would explain the magic formula in the movie to them, while some planned to deconstruct the Holy Grail formula in the most direct way, hoping to lead to the root.

These people are more troublesome. There are not many normal people among magicians, and they are even more extremists.

In order to ensure the safety of Liudong Temple, Matou Zouyan had to arrange for the heroic spirits to stand guard at the temple in turn.

Although the heroic spirits are not as powerful as other parallel worlds, it is not a problem to smash these garbage magicians.

It's just that Arturia and other heroic spirits have to suffer, and have to enjoy the treatment of a certain gatekeeper whose name cannot be mentioned.

Little brother Yanqing liked the game where the COS janitor frightened the intruders when he was on guard, which added a lot of fun to his boring time on guard.

It is a pity that the magicians who came to Fuyuki City for whatever reason failed to achieve their goals.

Those intruders were directly overthrown by the heroic spirits, and those magicians who asked for marriage and hoped to cooperate also returned empty-handed.

It's not that Matou Zouken is stingy, and the reason he gave is also very good.

"My son, Shen Er, is not here, so my grandpa can't make decisions for him."

This is really not an excuse that Zouken made casually, Shen Er is really not in Fuyuki City.

Because after entering May, Shinji took Kariya to France to attend the Cannes Film Festival.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

France, Nice Airport.

Second Master Shen pulled a slightly larger suitcase, with a slightly evil and confident smile on the corner of his mouth, and walked out of the passage whistling.

Behind the second master is Kariya who looks like a younger brother.

"Oh, the flight attendants of the French airlines are enthusiastic." Second Master Shen smiled meanly, "Although French men are really bad, but the girls are all good~ Well, what are you looking at, Uncle?"

Seeing Kariya stretching his neck and looking around, Shinji asked curiously.

"Nothing, I'm just looking for someone to pick us up."

Kariya rolled his eyes and replied insincerely.

Shen Er curled his lips: "The person who picked us up is Wei Bo. He should be easy to find, right? You can see him from hundreds of meters away with his kidney deficiency and stomach pain. Or are you talking with him?" Wei Bo didn't get in touch when he communicated?"

"Of course we have contacted." Kariya retorted, "I only talked with Mr. Velvet on the phone, and I haven't met him in person."

"That's right, anyway, he is the one you saw in the crowd who was dying from overwork."

"Matou Shinji! You're talking bad about me again!"

A voice that sounded overworked cut in.

Weber glared at Shinji angrily, obviously very dissatisfied with what he said just now.

Second Lord Shen didn't show any shyness, instead he went up to Weber and hugged him with a red face.

"Isn't this my good brother Weber from the clock tower? Long time no see, the dark circles under his eyes are heavy again."

"Tsk."

Wei Bo smacked his tongue impatiently, his brows were so wrinkled that his forehead lines appeared.

"That's not okay, Weber, you have to take good care of yourself."

After finishing the hug, Shinji smiled and cared while smoothing Weber's black suit with his hands.

"Don't be hypocritical. If you hadn't returned to China suddenly, how could I have so many jobs?" Weber said through gritted teeth.

"Is there? I've completely forgotten what happened so long ago." Shen Er replied in a casual tone.

"How could it be so far away? It was only a few months ago!!" Wei Bo complained helplessly, rubbing his brows, "You guys have been like this since before, it's really unpleasant!"

Kariya on the side nodded repeatedly: "I understand. Shen Er always leaves some very troublesome work to others, and makes some exorbitant demands! It's really too bad!"

"Best friend!" Weber excitedly grabbed Kariya's hand, "Although we confirmed it on the phone, I can be sure only after we actually meet. Mr. Kariya Matou, you are indeed my good comrade in arms!"

"That's right, Mister Velvet!"

Kariya vigorously responded to Waver.

Feeling excluded, Shen Er quickly interjected: "Hey, do you two have a class friendship?"

Seeing that Kariya and Weber's conversation was getting more and more unreasonable, Shen Er hurriedly interrupted their "sympathy" with work matters.

"Weber, I asked you to contact the European and American distributors first, how is the situation?"

"Regarding this, I have contacted several companies in advance, and they have all expressed interest in the movie. But..."

Weber took a deep look at Shen Er, and said pretending to be profound: "A publisher has made a special request."

"Special request?"

For no reason, Shen Er's heart skipped a beat.

"That's right." Kariya took over the conversation, and a smile similar to Weber's thought appeared on his face, "Mr. Velvet asked for my opinion, and I also agreed. After all~ Shen Er, you will contact Europe and the United States Entrust all matters to me~"

"Um......"

Shinji, who realized something was wrong, shuddered, and then he found that his shoulders were being held down by Weber and Kariya, one on the left and one on the right.

"What do you two want to do?"

The corner of Shen Er's mouth twitched, and there was a rare trace of panic in his tone.

"It's nothing, I'm just introducing the publisher to you." Weber felt a little pleasure in his heart, and he said happily, "Come on, Shinji. Let me introduce you to this..."

Before Wei Bo finished speaking, a girl with silver hair and red eyes appeared in front of Master Shen.

"Jian! Tong! Shen! Two!"
