Don't call me Master, call me Director

"What else can I say, it's nothing more than the same old routine." Sakura waved her hands and said in disgust, "What will cause the decline of magic if the mystery is announced to the public, what will make our secrets no longer secrets, brother, you are very concerned about magic. Abuse is not respecting mystery ... Let's ... it is basically that. "

"If they are really so righteous, they should go to the clock tower instead of arresting me."

If you really want to expose the mystery, the clock tower is too dry than Shen Er.

Why do so many ordinary-born magicians enter the clock tower every year to learn magic?It's not that those professors of magicians openly recruit students, recruiting students with magician talents to enter the clock tower.

You must know that Shen Er's movies can still be washed with fantasy stories, but those professors really exposed the mystery to ordinary people.

"They won't." Sakura pouted, "After all, the clock tower is too strong."

Shen Er nodded in agreement: "I think so too. Mr. Canozaki should also participate, right? What did he say?"

"I didn't say anything. That guy treated me and grandpa like nothing the whole time."

Sakura stretched her waist, and the tight shirt highlighted the girl's perfect figure.

Especially when he was fastening the buttons of the pair of murder weapons on his chest, Shen Er could almost hear the heart-piercing screams from that button.

"Ahem, I thought he'd say something to Grandpa." Shen Er twisted his neck and complained.

It's no secret in the circle that Shen Er took in Cheng Zi, and it was a slap in the face of Ao Qigong.

In the end, Mr. Cang Qi didn't say a word, which is not the style of that proud old man.

"What can he say? Brother, you haven't touched his fundamental interests. You just made a lot of publicity about taking in Sister Chengzi, which made him look small. Brother, you are shameless, and that old thing has shame."

"That's true. But after FZ is released, he shouldn't be so calm, right?"

When the movie is released, Cheng Zi, the hero of the crew, will be promoted by Shen Er in the circle as a model who learns magic well and makes a lot of money.

Shen Er did not believe that Ao Qigong would be able to bear it by then.

In fact, if the old thing really belonged to a thousand-year-old bastard, it wouldn't matter if he could hold it back. No one would make trouble for him, and Erye Shen would be happier on the contrary.

"Speaking of movie promotion...Brother, why did you release the latest trailer for the movie today during the Chinese New Year?" Sakura glanced at the countdown on Shinji's screen and asked with her head tilted.

"The official promotion is to coincide with the meaning of the movie title Zero. In fact, it will be released at this time today, and more people will pay attention."

Sakura shook her head at Shinji's explanation.

"No, everyone is in a hurry to celebrate the New Year today, and there must not be too many people paying attention to the movie trailer."

"I think the Super Bowl time proposed by sister Cloris is good."

As the most important sports event in North America, even if there is no precedent for "Independence Day" to place an advertisement in the Super Bowl halftime, Cloris, who was influenced by Shinji's publicity ideas, naturally thought of putting a movie trailer on this game.

"The broadcast of the Super Bowl has nothing to do with the media under the Time Group, and we don't need to praise the stinky feet of outsiders."

Shen Er said with certainty.

Sakura's eyes narrowed: "What's the actual reason?"

Shen Er said directly: "I don't want the Yankees to feel that I am important. The first public trailer must not premiere in North America."

The previous trailer in the extended version did not spread on a large scale, which can be regarded as a benefit for fans who bought the DVD.

Therefore, this preview is the first official announcement of FZ.

Shen Er attaches great importance to the North American market because it is the largest box office area in the world, but Shen Er does not want Yankees to feel that he is important. What if those people get bigger and insist on Shen Er to abide by their "political correctness"?

Don't say that those people dare not, they are very lenient.

He, Second Lord Shen, just came to North America to get leeks, and leeks have to look like leeks, so don't give me a slap in the face.

Sakura pouted: "Brother, sister Cloris will definitely not like to hear what you say."

【Sakura has already started calling her sister... Lisi, a scary woman. 】

Shen Er's mouth twitched unconsciously twice.

"Master, Sakura. Are you arguing?"

Artoria walked in with a large bag of snacks in her arms.

"When did you see us arguing? Also, why did you bring in so much food?"

Seeing Arturia put the snacks on his bed naturally, Shen Er's eyelids twitched.

"What's the matter? Watching a movie or something, of course, is more interesting when there are many people."

Arturia first picked up two olives from Shinji's computer desk and threw them into her mouth, then opened a pack of potato chips she brought herself.

"This is not a movie, it's just a preview."

Shinji remarked casually, and reached for the potato chips in Arturia's arms.

Snapped.

Second Master's hand was slapped away very rudely.

"This is mine, Master."

Artoria, who protects food, declares to Shinji her indisputable sovereignty over potato chips.

"...excessive."

Seeing that there is no hope of taking advantage, Shen Er can only turn his gaze back to the screen, quietly waiting for the arrival of 2004.

At almost the same moment, in a small villa with a unique shape in Misaki Town, Yuzu and Aoko were sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV.

The Fate Zero trailer is broadcast at the same time around the world. In addition to the website, TV stations in various countries will also broadcast the corresponding language version of the trailer at the same time.

Shen Er chose to watch the online version in order to get feedback from fans as soon as possible.

But Yuzu and Aoko didn't have such a need, so the two of them watched the Japanese New Year's Eve program while waiting for the movie trailer to be broadcast.

After all, how can a small screen be as cool as a big screen?

In order to make this deserted little house look more humane, Qingzi also specially brought Coke and popcorn, but Youzhu, who is a diehard black tea, didn't even want to touch it.

"What's so good about that?"

Seeing his friend chomping on popcorn and drinking coke, Youzhu's hand holding the black tea trembled.

"Youzhu, you need to know that popcorn and coke are a perfect match for movies!" Qingzi said vaguely while biting his straw.

"I thought you would show the extended version of FSN tonight. If I had known you wouldn't watch the movie, I would have brought less popcorn. Hiccup~"

As he said that, Qingzi hiccupped in a very unimpressive manner.

Youzhu said coldly: "Because I have watched it 5 times, today is the time to watch the movie trailer. This is the first public trailer, so naturally I have to appreciate it with respect."

Hearing this, Qingzi smiled like a little fox, and she teased her friend, "You Zhu, you really like Fate. You love so deeply, could it be that you have thoughts about that young master of the Jiantong family? "

Youzhu looked at Qingzi contemptuously from the corner of her eye, she ignored Qingzi's nonsense, seeing that the time was almost up, she put down her black tea and sat upright, waiting for the announcement to start.

"The preview is about to begin."

Qingzi looked up at the wall clock: "Yes, how long is it?"

Just as he was talking, the countdown to the New Year's Eve ended on the TV, and a bright moon appeared on the screen.

"Servant Saber, here you are called. I ask you, are you my Master?"

Accompanied by Saber's classic debut lines, seven symbols of different shapes first appeared on the TV screen. Yuzu, who was already familiar with Fate's settings, recognized at a glance that they were the Master's Command Spells.

Then the summoning array flashed past, and the preview officially began.

That was the clip of FZ's opening battle at the pier. First, there was the gorgeous melee battle between Artoria and Diarmuid, and then the Great Emperor's ox cart fell from the sky.

The roaring lightning and the gorgeous chariot instantly attracted everyone's attention, and everyone was guessing who the character who appeared so cautiously was.

And the emperor did not disappoint the audience. In the TV screen, the burly man raised his hands and shouted as soon as he appeared on the stage.

"My name is Iskandar, the King of Conquerors. I participated in this Holy Grail War and obtained the rank of Rider!"

Hearing this passionate self-introduction, Qingzi's interest was instantly aroused.

"Hey, this guy looks very strong, he seems to be able to fight!"

"To shut up!"

Youzhu brutally sealed Qingzi's mouth with magic, so that she could not make a sound in a physical sense.

On TV, the FZ trailer continued to play.

With the appearance of the Great Emperor, Gilgamesh, an old acquaintance of the audience, soon stood on the street lamp.

"I don't take this king seriously, and I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and there are two people who came out overnight."

Sure enough, Gilgamesh is Gilgamesh, and the first line Kim Pika uttered after he came on stage made fans feel the strong flavor of Gilgamesh.

"It's really great! Watching the trailer, this movie is much better than FSN!"

The audience did not expect so many heroic spirits to gather in just one battle. You must know that there are very few pictures of three heroic spirits in the same frame on FSN.

In just a few scenes, the audience felt the difference between FZ and FSN. This is not a simple fried rice, but a completely different new movie.

The trailer is still going on, and after Gilgamesh's debut, there are a series of mixed cuts, including the gymnastics prince Hassan played by Cu Chulainn, the marshal played by Yan Qing summoning sea monsters, and a close-up of Kiritsugu blowing up the building.

Although these screens switch quickly and hardly reveal much useful plot information, the style is surprisingly unified—all kinds of dazzling and exciting screens.

Finally, a black knight with magic mist all over his body appeared on the screen.

I saw a red light flashing in the gap of the opponent's helmet, rushing towards the camera like a wild beast.

"Arthur——!"

The preview ended with Lancelot's roar, and only the subtitles [Fate/Zero released in May 2004] were displayed on the TV screen.

Chapter ⑥4: One or two, that is the question

"I found that I regret watching the FZ trailer. I originally wanted to use the trailer to satisfy my hunger, but after watching it, I became even more hungry!!!"

The first public trailer of Fate/Zero has ended, but the enthusiasm caused by the movie has just begun.

Although in 2003, it should be 2004, the popularity of the Internet was far from as high as 15 years later, and related APP platforms were also in their infancy, and people could not use their mobile phones to swipe video chats anytime, anywhere.

But on the message board of Fate/Zero's official website, many people have already started chatting about the movie.

Fans who had just watched the trailer kept discussing what they had just seen with others on the message boards.

Even though there are a lot of people leaving messages on the message board, and the screen swiping speed is very fast, in many cases, the difference between the last message and the next one is basically a chicken and a duck, but this does not dispel people's enthusiasm for movies.

Especially the wonderful screen editing in the movie trailer, the battle scenes beyond the FSN specification can be seen at a glance, which has lifted the spirits of many fans.

"This is literally the most exciting movie trailer I've ever seen!!"

"Isn't Alexander the Great a dwarf? Why is he played by a strong man?"

"It really is my king! That handsome appearance makes people want to climax just by looking at it!!"

"If the scene of the bombing of the building is shown on the big screen, I don't know how exciting it is just to think about it!"

"Kotomine Kirei's Servant is not Gilgamesh, I can already guess how the plot will develop."

"Maybe it's the strategy of the master and the servants, maybe the little man who is also in the chariot is the real Alexander the Great."

"Upstairs, you crossed the stage."

......

Even Youzhu, who almost played the role of a mouthless girl in real life, wrote down her feelings on the message board with Qingzi's help after watching the movie.

"The magic techniques involved in this movie are very interesting, but I don't know if the special magic of Yusanjia can be displayed more brilliantly. At the same time, I am also looking forward to the performance of Lord El Mello in the movie... ...Okay, hit send."

Seeing his friend's trembling expression when he clicked the "Send" button, Qingzi couldn't help laughing.

"Youzhu, are you sending messages or eating bugs?" Qingzi patted Youzhu on the shoulder and teased.

Youzhu gave Qingzi a gouged look: "I'm not like you. I don't have modern electrical equipment at home, but I'm so used to it."

"I would like to have it."

Thinking of the grandfather whose brain could be sent directly to the museum to soak in formalin, Qingzi felt helpless.

"Speaking of which, Yuzu, why did you think of buying a computer? Aren't you also a classical magician before?"

Youzhu said: "The future is the era of the Internet. As a magician in the new era, you must learn how to use the Internet, otherwise you will be eliminated by society."

"It's certainly not something you can say yourself."

Youzhu nodded: "Of course, Mr. Matou said it during his speech at the clock tower."

"First... sir...?"
