Don't call me Master, call me Director

Moreover, Shinji believes that the group of magicians will also be very interested in his plan.

Because of the low-key tradition of magicians, ordinary people know very little about magicians, so there are fewer new magicians every year.

The inability to recruit suitable students has become a major problem for many schools of magicians.

If Shen Er can succeed, then shooting movies through magic will undoubtedly expand the influence of magic and let the major schools of magicians gain students.

This is similar to the fact that Shen Er's kung fu movie craze promoted the recruitment of students in traditional martial arts schools in his previous life.

When Shinji brought this plan to Matou Zouken and asked if it was feasible.

Matou Zouken was very interested in Shen Er's plan, and while letting Shen Er boldly do it, he also gave him great support.

Anyway, it's not that the Jiantong family has no money, even if Shen Er fails, he will still be able to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

If it succeeds, then Shinji will be the hero of the entire magic world, and the Matou family can even gain a high status in the magic world.

Shen Er himself is also very competitive, and has made a lot of achievements in magic in just a few years.And under the recommendation of Matou Zouken, he got the opportunity to go to the clock tower for further study 4 years ago.

After listening in the clock tower for nearly two years, Shen Er not only understood the overall level of magic in this world, but also confirmed that his plan can be realized with the existing magic technology.

After learning all this, Shen Er left the clock tower and went to USC to continue to observe the creation of film and television works, and even took time to go to a Hollywood studio for an internship.

There is no way, Shen Er was just an otaku in his previous life, he has seen a lot of good works, but he still needs to supplement professional knowledge on how to make good works.

After staying in the United States for more than a year, he felt that his professional skills in magic and film production were almost the same, so Shen Er returned to the Clock Tower.

This time, he was not going to attend lectures, but to find a partner.

This plan is too huge, and the Matou family alone can't support it. Shinji also needs a partner who has a certain influence in the magic world.

In the end, Shen Er found the Archibald house where Director Ken lived, and reached a cooperation agreement with Director Ken.

The reason why Director Ken was chosen was not because Shen Er was familiar with him, but because Director Ken and his Archibald family were the most powerful partners Shen Er could find.

Because the forces stronger than the Archibald family look down on Shen Er, and also look down on Shen Er's so-called modern entertainment plan.

Those old men who can be thrown into museums just like mummies only believe in tradition, and think that noble magic can never please ordinary people like street clowns.

Thinking that these people don't even use the phone, and insist on using familiar communication, and some even insist on blood inheritance.

Shen Er felt speechless, he had only one thing to say to these old antiques.

"Go to Hogwarts and live the life of Scottish round-faced fat chickens!" (middle finger)

Fortunately, there are many magic families actively embracing modernization in the Clock Tower. In addition to the Archibald family where Director Ken works, Shen Er has also found several partners.

After completing all the preparatory work and establishing the so-called "Xingyue Film and Television Company", Shen Er returned to his hometown Fuyuki City with his own project and started his grand plan.

And the first step of this plan is to shoot the movie "Fate/stay night".

However, despite the full preparations, the film encountered many problems, large and small, after it was actually shot.

For example, now this-

"Ok?"

On the set, Shinji picked up the poster as a prop.

In the movie script, Shiro Emiya held this poster to briefly resist Cu Chulainn, and the poster was scrapped after opening it as a shield to block a shot.

It is the most common item in FSN, but...

"Who chose this poster?"

Shinji asked with a dark face.

The content of the poster itself is fine, it is a gym advertising flyer.

But when a hole is poked in the top, it becomes very unscrupulous, because the hole is right on the lower body of the muscular man in the poster.

"Come on, please replace this poster with a girl idol... no, replace it with a promotional leaflet for a ramen shop."

Fortunately, Shen Er immediately thought that it would be even more strange to poke a hole in the beautiful girl. At that time, the shot of Lancer poking the poster will most likely develop in the direction of X18.

Looking at the backs of the staff who went away, Shen Er helplessly shook his head.

"It's really... making a movie is indeed a delicate job."

Shinji let out a sigh.

Chapter 3 Since Your Mouth Is Sweet, Eat More Sugar

Some things, if you don't actually do it, you won't find out how difficult it is.

Especially for the film, which is a combination of industry and art, every excellent film embodies the hard work of the crew that is unimaginable by others.

Even if he is a human being in two lifetimes, even if he went to Hollywood for further training, even if he used a legendary heroic spirit as an actor, in order to shoot the most perfect scene in his mind, Shen Er still took these few minutes of shots over and over again.

Between each shooting, Shen Er will make adjustments according to the problems of the previous shooting.

Dozens of crew members worked hard for half a day before finally realizing the shooting effect that Shen Er was looking forward to.

"Finally finished."

Looking at the content of the shooting effect on the monitor, Shinji finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The warehouse scene does not involve many action scenes, but it is one of the most important scenes in the whole movie.

Because this is the first official appearance of the heroine, it is very important for this role.

In Shen Er's previous life, countless fans of Xingyue, including Shen Er himself, were amazed at the beauty of the knight girl under the moonlight, and plunged into Xingyue's deep pit.

In order for the audience to be attracted to Artoria at first glance, Shen Er can be said to have racked his brains, and even used soft light for this.

This technique is often used in filming to highlight the sacredness of the characters. The most common example is the elves with special effects in the "Lord of the Rings" series.

Of course, Shen Er's approach is different from traditional movies. He directly asked Artoria to mobilize the magic power of her body when she appeared in front of the camera, so that her armor would automatically emit a silver-white holy light.

Using the arrangement and coordination of other lights on the set, a knight girl with holy radiance all over her body and piercing eyes was born.

This is also an important reason why Shinji chose magicians and servants as actors-to let them add special effects to themselves when shooting.

In this way, many shots that can only be shot through post-processing can be shot directly, and the money is still less.

After shooting the video material, Shen Er deliberately took several close-up photos of Artoria with the camera, which can be regarded as preparation materials for the promotion after the movie

Arturia in the photo is like a Valkyrie who descended into the world, perfectly matching the two seemingly incompatible words, beauty and strength.

In particular, the eyes that Shen Er focuses on, are elegant and translucent, and at the same time reveal the perseverance that will not shake the belief, as if they can shoot into people's hearts and take away their souls.

Only such a perfect-looking girl knight can arouse the emotions of the audience and make everyone fascinated, isn't it?

Although the role of the heroine's appearance has been settled, it does not mean that the work of the FSN crew will go smoothly.

In order for this movie to become the benchmark and model of magician movies, it is also to keep the core secrets of magic.

Shen Er used a large number of magician staff, especially the actors, who are almost the "original crew" of FSN.

This also means that the crew is full of novices.

Especially the Heroic Spirits represented by Arturia, who are summoned to the modern society, cannot immediately adapt to the work of filming.

The action scenes are okay, as long as you pay attention to fighting within the prescribed lens range, and be careful not to damage the shooting props.The rest is to ensure that the camera records the wonderful moments of the servants fighting.

For the FSN crew, the biggest problem is the literary part, positioning, lines, demeanor, movements... almost every shooting will be accompanied by various mistakes.

For example, in the current scene, Artoria and Cu Chulainn are fighting in the courtyard of Emiya Mansion.

Arturia's combat performance was pretty good, but when Cu Chulainn confronted her, the expression on her face and the tone of her voice changed.

To be more precise, Arturia's emotions are too exposed, giving people too strong traces of acting.

"Cut!"

Shen Er shouted to stop the whole crew, "It's almost done, everyone take a break, we will continue in an hour."

After tossing around for so long, even the energetic Shinji needs to catch his breath.

He sat directly in the living room of Wei Gongzhai, and Sakura quickly brought him a cup of coffee.

"Thanks, Sakura."

Tasting his proud sister's masterpiece, the tense expression on his face began to gradually relax.

"Sorry, Master..."

Artoria sat on the tatami with her head bowed.

She also knew that it was her own fault that led to repeated reshoots, and she felt very guilty.

"It's all my fault, I didn't do well enough."

Shen Er waved his hand casually: "It's okay, it's a good thing to be serious, you don't have to blame yourself too much."

Although Second Master Shen was indeed a little troubled, but after seeing Artoria's cute expression of guilt + entanglement, he immediately felt a lot better

[New emoticon get√, there is a kind of rush to unlock the heroine CG a little bit by playing games. 】

Putting down the coffee cup, Second Master Shen squinted at this cold beauty.

Artoria, who is proud in her heart, will definitely feel unwilling to be dragged down by her behavior of dragging down the crew. If she gets into a dead end, the subsequent filming may be even more difficult.

For such a girl, Shen Er has his own set of solutions.

"Saber, you should be more natural, and stop thinking about the camera. Just pretend that you really met Cu Chulainn in the Holy Grail War, and just act yourself out.

"It's mainly when reading the lines..." Artoria said intermittently, "I always want to recite the lines unconsciously."

Shinji looked at Arturia, he could hear the girl knight's hard work and persistence from the girl knight's words.

Even if it's not for the Holy Grail, this lady knight is still the most reliable partner in the Holy Grail War who is dedicated to her duties.

"Matser, I think..."

Artoria raised her eyes to look at Shen Er, and seeing Shen Er gave herself an encouraging smile.

"Artoria, you've done a great job."

Shen Er raised his chin and said with a smile: "I think you should have more room to play like this."

"Ok?"

Arturia frowned slightly, she didn't know which game her Master was playing.

Strictly speaking, Shinji is not Artoria's ideal Master.Even though Arturia admired the opponent's talent in magic, Shinji's character was too frivolous and out of tune.

This reminded Artoria of her former knight Lancelot.

The knight of the lake is also very powerful, but has a problematic life style, and he is very good at pleasing girls.

【No, he is much more frivolous than Sir Lancelot. 】

Artoria's emerald eyes fixed on the blue-haired boy in front of her.

Second Lord Shen didn't know that his Servant was burying himself in his heart, so he proposed to the other party the suggestion he had just thought of.

"In this way, I will hang an inscription board on both sides of the camera to write important information on it. In this way, you only need to act on the spot based on this information, instead of memorizing fixed script lines."

"What?" Artoria's eyes widened, feeling a little unbelievable, "Is this really possible?"

Before the filming started, she took a short acting training class.No matter how inexperienced she is in acting, Artoria knows how difficult it is to perform without a script.

"Of course." Shen Er's slightly evil face showed an indescribable joy. "The character in the original script is yourself. For this movie, being yourself in front of the camera is the most perfect ultimate form."

"That... so it is true."

Arturia's originally slightly melancholy face finally had a ray of light.

"I just need to act myself in front of the camera! Master, you really are a genius!"

"Just call me Shen Er." Shen Er gave a thumbs up, "We will get along for a long time in the future, so don't be so cautious."

In Shen Er's previous life, Saber was Xingyue's cash cow, and in this life she will be his cash cow and trump card.

Shen Erye has always been friendly to such high-quality employees.

Of course, it would be more perfect if he could show a shy expression like a girl's. Second Lord Shen is looking forward to the moment when the other party will completely open his heart to him.

"Then I'll go talk to Lancer about your suggestion."

Artoria couldn't wait to stand up.

"Thank you very much, Mas...Shinji."

"I'd rather you call me the director."
