Don't call me Master, call me Director

In fact, in this battle, Saber's choice is not a problem.

Opposite is the difficult Caster and the Master who is an ordinary person, choosing to exclude Ge Mu who is an ordinary person first, this tactic itself is not a problem.

However, because she was too confident and careless about her Servant's ability, Saber's choice contributed to one of the few classic scenes on FSN.

After being strengthened by Caster, the strength of Kuzuki's fists has reached the level of a low-level Noble Phantasm.

He first blocked Saber's first slash with his strengthened body, and then completely suppressed Saber who was using the sword with his left fist.

And when Saber was about to barely counter her left fist, Ge Mu grabbed Saber's neck very decisively with his right hand.

So Saber, who was supposed to be sure of winning, was knocked unconscious on the concrete wall by Ge Mu at a speed of 200 miles.

Then Servant·Teacher Kuzuki turned on the unparalleled mode, and after finishing Saber, he knocked down Tohsaka Rin with another blow.

If Emiya Shirou hadn't desperately projected a pair of swords to support Saber until Saber regained his combat power, it is estimated that several of them would be sent to the morgue together by Ge Mu.

"Damn, three people fight and one is counter-killed, will these people play?!"

"Didn't you say that Servant is very strong? Why can't even beat a teacher?!"

"This is no ordinary teacher, haven't you heard what Saber said? His fists are comparable to Noble Phantasms."

"Is this because of Caster's enhancement? Is it Caster's mouth, or this teacher's?"

"I don't know, anyway, it's better than Saber."

It's no wonder Saber doesn't want to watch this episode, it's her black history at all.

The majestic King Arthur was actually strangled by a human being.

During the entire battle, Ge Mu only got a strengthened fist from Caster, and in the end, at the cost of his left fist and left arm injury, he got fruitful results.

First, he suppressed and stunned Saber, making him lose his combat effectiveness and unable to protect the master, and then almost killed Tohsaka Rin with his fists, and then easily fought against Shirou, the projected general Mo Xie.

At the end of the battle, seeing the sign of Saber opening the Noble Phantasm, Ge Mu left the battlefield in time to escape with Caster.

It can be said that in this battle between the protagonist group and Caster's group, Ge Mu and Caster's side are undoubtedly better.

On the other hand, Shinji, who lost his Servant, went to Kirei to seek the protection of the church, but was told by the priest that there was a new heroic spirit without an owner.

As for the identity of this new heroic spirit, old Fate fans immediately guessed who it was after seeing the iconic golden retriever.

"Gilgamesh, it's you again!!"

Seeing the appearance of this golden King of Pleasure, the audience's first reaction was that the other party wanted to make trouble.

However, while viewers guessed that Gilgamesh's appearance was meant to boost popularity, putting him at the end of episode four was meant to create suspense.

But the audience just like this, especially the female fans, who have been waiting for Gilgamesh to appear for a long time.

Although those female fans now have a favorite Diarmuid, who would not love the handsome blonde Gilgamesh?

Relying on the deviation from the plot of the movie version, the exposure of the Caster group, and the appearance of Gilgamesh, the fourth episode of UBW is full of gimmicks.

After the fourth episode in North America, the ratings have risen to 1300 million, which is regarded as the best-performing TV series on TNT TV in recent years.

In Japan, the ratings of the fourth episode of UBW immediately began to pick up, rising from 28% in the third episode to 31.2%.

Although there is still a big gap compared with the 40% of the first episode, the ratings have begun to pick up, which can explain many things.

The old employees who have worked in the TV station for many years know very well that as long as there are no particularly strange plots in the plot of UBW, causing the ratings and evaluation to be cut in half, the ratings of the TV series will be stable.

Even if there is still a decline in ratings after that, the average ratings of the final episode will definitely be above 25%.

What grade is this?It's a big hit! !

At the moment when the ratings of the fourth episode of UBW came out, the entire Japanese entertainment industry was blown up again by this TV series.

Chapter 106 Frenchman: The Japanese media is worse than me!

The bottom line of media people is far more flexible than that of politicians, and their skin is even thicker than that of Sir Humphrey.

Probably the last time Shen Er "raged" in public and scolded the media for throwing them out of a psychological shadow.

As the ratings of the fourth episode of UBW picked up, the attitude of the media took a 180° turn in an instant.

Those original voices of questioning and ridicule all turned into affirmation and praise, and the "shameless face" ridiculed by Shen Er was once again vividly interpreted by the media reporters.

Of course, amidst the applause, it is not that no one stood up to criticize this TV series.

Film critics said that although the TV drama version is quite different from the movie version in terms of plot, it is still a kind of fried rice in essence.

Not only are they doing nothing, they are also being lazy and using the same actors and characters repeatedly. This behavior has been learned by other film and television companies, and it will greatly reduce the creative standards of the entire film and television industry!

Of course, this kind of questioning did not cause too many waves. More people think that the same characters can be used to tell completely different stories, and it can still be read with gusto. Fate has achieved a seemingly impossible Task.

For such a movie, everyone should celebrate.

So in addition to the film critics who still stick to the bottom line and catch all kinds of loopholes in UBW, the media reporters changed their positions as quickly as possible.

The speed at which these media surrendered may even make the French feel ashamed. They persisted in France for 42 days during World War II and for 3 days on the arms order.

As for the Japanese media reporters, they chose to change their positions on the second day after the fourth episode aired.

"The same character filmed a different plot! ", "The genius director showed us the magic of the film and television industry! "," Bottom Rebound: How to Save the Ratings of a TV Series", "Where is the Difference Between TV Series and Movies? FSN Answers for You"... etc., all kinds of articles boasting UBW In an instant, it was all over Japan's major media platforms.

Anyway, these gossip reporters who have mastered the kung fu of adapting to the wind have long since given up such a thing as shame.

In the Emiya residence, Emiya Kiritsugu was drinking with his godson Emiya Shirou.

Neither Kiritsugu nor Shirou felt that there was anything wrong with this, they both went to the battlefield in the Middle East, how could they not drink.

"Do one."

Kiritsugu and Shirou lightly touched the wine glasses in their hands.

After drinking a glass of wine, Shirou smacked his lips, looking a little depressed.

Kiritsugu glanced at the TV in the room, news was being broadcast on the TV just now, and the content of the news was naturally related to UBW.

"what happened?"

Kiritsugu took a sip of his wine, looked at Shirou and asked, "You should be happy that the TV series you starred in became popular."

The popularity of the UBW TV series means that the popularity of the studio invested by his wife in Fuyuki City will continue to increase, which is a good thing in Kiritsugu's view.

On the contrary, the fact that his own godson became famous was not a big deal in Kiritsugu's eyes, since Shirou didn't rely on his face for a living anyway.

Shirou put down his wine glass, shrugged and said, "No, I'm just a little confused."

"confused?"

Kiritsugu asked curiously.

"Tohsaka went to study in the UK, and Shinji is working on his own business. Even Sakura has her own goals and wants to be Shinji's helper. But I can't find a direction for the future." Shirou shook his head with a smile.

Unlike Emiya Shiro of FSN, he does not have the dream of becoming a hero, nor does he have the burden of inheriting the family business like Rin Tosaka.

Although he has made movies and TV dramas, Shirou has no interest in actors. He feels that things in the entertainment industry are not suitable for him.

"Shirou, you don't need to worry." Kiritsugu smiled understandingly, "You are still young, and you still have a lot of time to decide your own path."

"Well, seeing that everyone has already decided on their future, I'm a little anxious." Shirou said self-deprecatingly.

Kiritsugu clinked glasses with Shirou again: "Don't worry, no matter what you do, we will support you. Why don't you become a mercenary like me?"

"Forget it, that kind of thing is not suitable for me at all. The last time I was tricked by your father to go to the Middle East, I almost didn't stay there."

Shirou sighed, feeling somewhat unbearable to recall the past.

Hearing what Shirou said, Kiritsugu did not continue to insist, but instead asked: "Speaking of which, where is Shinji? I haven't seen anyone else these days."

Originally, Kiritsugu was going to bring Shinji with him for a drink today, but Matou's family told him that Shinji hadn't been home for several days.

The circle of magicians in Fuyuki City is so big, Kiritsugu was a little curious after not seeing Shinji for such a long time.

"It seems that because Sakura was dissatisfied with her role, she tied Shen Er to the bed while he was sleeping, and stuck a note of non-burnable garbage on his forehead. It made Shen Er dare not go home."

"Oh huh~"

Kiritsugu revealed a smile.

"That kid will only be embarrassed by his sister. But if he hides from Sakura like this, won't it make her even more angry?"

"Probably not?" Shirou replied while sipping his wine, "Anyway, Shinji used his work as an excuse, so he should be able to fool him."

"That little slicker."

Kiritsugu cursed with a smile, but did not continue to investigate further.

In fact, Shinji did use work as an excuse to avoid Sakura, but it wasn't entirely an excuse.

At present, the first reorganization of the Xingyue company has been fully completed. In order to maximize the power of the integrated company, the second master has a lot of work to do.

Now, while Shen Er is preparing for the shooting of "Super 8", he is frequently operating in the stock market.

It's not that Shen Er feels that he has no money in his hand and wants to learn from Buffett or Soros to play some stock gods.

It is purely that with the bursting of the Internet economic bubble at the end of the 20th century, more and more related companies' stock prices plummeted, and even encountered financial difficulties.

Not making a fortune at this time is really ashamed of being a time traveler.

Shen Er is very clear that he is not a financial expert, and he did not think about the challenge of maximizing returns. He only bought technology companies that are destined to rise sharply in the future, and entertainment companies that are helpful to his career.

Naturally, there is no need to say more about Apple. At least in the next 20 years, smartphones will undoubtedly be the most important electronic products in people's lives.

Similarly, Netflix is ​​also Shinji's target.

However, Shen Er's attitude towards Netflix is ​​completely different from that of Apple. Shen Er just bought Apple's stock and waited for it to appreciate in value. When he bought Netflix, he valued his channel and wanted to use it to develop his own streaming media.

In addition to these two companies, there are other well-known companies in the future that are also in Shen Er's merger and acquisition plan.

For example, IMAX company.

The IMAX company in this world is even more miserable than the same period in Shen Er's previous life.

Although when Fate/Zero was released, the type-moon media took advantage of the trend and blew a wave of IMAX.

However, only one commercial film in the world will use IMAX technology every year. This situation cannot bring about fundamental changes for the company.

Seeing that the company was losing money day by day, some members of IMAX's board of directors wanted to sell their stocks in exchange for a more promising company.

Shen Er took the opportunity to take over.

However, the second master is afraid that his own holding of IMAX company may be subject to monopoly lawsuits from European and American countries in the future.

Even if that happened, it wouldn't be a big problem, but it would cause him a lot of trouble.

So Shen Er simply gave all the shares to the Velvet family. Anyway, what he needs is IMAX technology rather than the company's money.

That's right, the person with the most shares in IMAX is Weber, who has already exceeded 23%. Although he still cannot have an absolute holding, he has already won the seat of the major shareholder on the board of directors.

After that, if Weber intends to compete for the position of chairman, it is not impossible.

It's just that Weber has been working overtime so badly that he has dark circles under his eyes, and if he is asked to be the chairman of IMAX, he might have to fight Shen Er desperately.

After becoming the actual controller of IMAX through the "puppet" of Weber, Shinji proposed to use IMAX technology to shoot his own new movie.

This plan was unanimously approved by all members of the board of directors of IMAX Corporation. Everyone thought that this proposal put forward by Shinji was very good, and it was a feat comparable to changing a single break to a weekend.

Although Shinji stated that the first film will only be an experimental work, the box office results will not be too high.

But even so, IMAX company is still rejoicing.

After all, hope is better than no hope.

No way, IMAX itself is very confident in their technology, but now the mainstream of the film market simply can't use it.

Commercial films will have a completely different experience when shown on the big screen, but for art films...

Unless it's a landscape-based documentary, the only thing IMAX technology can do for a mainstream movie is to allow viewers to count the hairs on an undressed actress.

Therefore, even though IMAX technology has been invented for decades, only some science and education centers such as planetariums use this technology.

The screenings are all science and educational films about the universe and the ocean.

People in IMAX have been coveting the cakes in the movie market for a long time, and even at the beginning of the company's establishment, it was to grab the cakes in the movie market.

However, technical limitations make IMAX Corporation face the tens of billions of global film market, which is the same as Zhu Bajie wanting to marry the king of his daughter country—I thought so too, but she refused.

Now, finally, a big director has become their own person and is willing to take them to play together. The IMAX board of directors naturally raised their five limbs to express their approval.

Well, the IMAX board is all men.

For the various requests made by Shen Er, IMAX Co., Ltd. cooperated very actively.
