Movie Queen Development Plan

Chapter 140: Chapter 139: Curtain Call



"The light that ends its sleep, the life that awakens from the dream. Facing this hungry world, strive to climb out of the abyss..."

The music at the end of the film began to play, the subtitles on a black background slowly fell, and an ethereal, deep male voice sang a soothing ballad.

It was not until this time that the audience realized that the movie was over, and various discussions arose again, becoming the mainstream in the screening room.

The audience began to share their views on the movie with people they knew or didn't know. The vast majority of the audience liked the movie because it brought them a refreshing feeling that made everyone feel particularly happy.

There are not many recent movies that give people such a hearty feeling. Although "The Lord of the Rings" and "Star Wars" are indeed wonderful, the overall pace is a bit slow.

Spider-Man is definitely better than Goblin Slayer in terms of story, but the fight between Spider-Man and the Green Goblin looks more like child's play than the brutal battle between Goblin Slayer and the Goblin King at the end of the movie.

Of course, there are also some very unpleasant aspects. The movie did not show the face of the male protagonist Goblin Slayer until the end. The only shot allowed everyone to see the ends of his golden hair and pointed chin.

It was obvious that the actor must be quite handsome, but it was really hard to leave it to guess.

William glanced at his watch and realized that two and a half hours had passed since the movie started, but he felt like he had only watched half an hour of the movie.

The pace of the movie "Goblin Slayer" is relatively slower than "The Matrix" he watched a few years ago, but it is much faster than "The Lord of the Rings" at the end of last year.

The movie gave William a very smooth feeling. Even casual viewers should be able to understand the story very easily and invest their emotions into it.

The audience's attention will not be diverted until the end of the film, and only then will they feel the fatigue after watching a two and a half hour movie.

Just like William is now.

"It's a good movie."

Looking at the end credits on the screen, William was feeling a little worried. He didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

From the excited discussions of countless fans around, it can be seen that everyone should think that "Goblin Slayer" is very good like himself, so if nothing unexpected happens, this movie will definitely be a success.

No, it should be certain to succeed because this is William's favorite movie.

But at the same time, this is where William is sad. He is protesting because he is worried that the man named Nanaya Kiryu will ruin the original game.

But what is the result now?

"Goblin Slayer" is indeed far from the original "Saints and the Brave", but this does not deny that it is an excellent movie.

At least it retains the story outline of a brave man defeating a monster and saving a princess, and it makes people excited.

Moreover, the hidden Easter eggs in the game can also satisfy William, a fan of the original game, and at least he won't feel bored.

"What do you think?"

William asked his two companions.

"It's OK. As a commercial film, it gives the audience what they want to see."

Ed's answer was relatively conservative because he was still an undercover agent.

The girl who came over to join the group tapped her chin and said, "It's OK. Although the movie lacks the epic feeling, it has its own characteristics. But, the director... is a bit vulgar."

"…"

William and Ed were silent. They didn't have the courage to say that they would like to watch it again if they had the chance.

If we wait until "Goblin Slayer" is out of theaters, who knows if we will ever be able to appreciate such huge breasts in high definition on such a big screen.

"This movie is really wonderful." William first gave a characterization of the movie, "Although it is not quite what we imagined, it is indeed a rare good work."

"In terms of story, although it is not as grand as The Brave and the Saint, it is just as exciting as the original game!"

Then William emphasized, "The sacred golden triangle image on the back of the priestess's hand at the end moved me deeply! That's the image I've always dreamed of!"

"Yeah yeah!"

Ed kept nodding. It wasn't that he agreed with William's proposal, but that seeing that the protest was about to end, he finally saw hope of returning to Japan.

[Finally, I can live a life with my wife, children and a warm bed again. ]

At this point, Ed couldn't wait to return to his home in Tokyo to spend more time with his little daughter.

"So we are going to end the protest like this?" the girl said unwillingly, "It feels really bad to give up halfway."

"Maybe..."

William pondered, and he said in a very slow tone, "Maybe we can do a promotional activity for the movie?"

"Um?"

"Sorry, Ed." William said a little embarrassedly, "This is my personal opinion. It is true that this movie has nothing to do with the original game, but as a movie, it is indeed wonderful. If it is a derivative work of the game "Saints and Brave Men", it is not so unacceptable."

"So you want to use this movie to promote the "Saints and the Brave" series to outsiders?"

Ed guessed what his partner was thinking.

"Yes, if everything goes well, we should be able to add a lot of new companions. But I need your consent for this. After all, our start-up capital..."

If William really wanted to get rid of this friend and do it on his own, he could do it. But without Ed as a sponsor, many things would probably not go smoothly.

"I need to think about it."

This was Ed's euphemism, because he had to report to his boss who was sitting in the front row. However, Ed felt that his boss would approve this part of the budget, given his personality. After all, the protesters coming back to support the movie could be a news story for a long time.

The female boss who only cared about small amounts of money couldn't possibly refuse such a good opportunity for publicity, but in this case -

[Yuki-chan, Dad will be home late again...]

Ed sighed secretly.

··

When the subtitles ended, the audience just raised their hands to applaud.

The screen, which had been dark, lit up again, and a forest with lush vegetation was displayed on the huge screen.

Deep in the forest, there is an obviously man-made stone platform, on which is inserted a long sword. The hilt and the M-shaped sword guard are dark purple, while the blade is a strange silver color that seems to be glowing slightly.

The camera zoomed closer and closer to the sword, and the picture finally froze at a few steps away from the sword.

The raised inscription on the sword near the guard suddenly flashed, and then the whole movie ended there.

"Master Sword!"

Several fans of the game figured out the sword's true name, and they cheered and then began clapping vigorously.

The emotions of these audience members immediately infected all the audience present, and everyone began to applaud and cheer.

The loud sounds gradually became more orderly from being scattered at the beginning, and finally gathered into an endless wave.

Infected by the atmosphere of the entire theater, every audience member stood up from their seats and expressed their respect to the crew sitting in the front row with the loudest applause!

Nanaya, Shion and other crew members stood up and waved to the audience. They expressed their gratitude to the fans present with their smiles.

"That's weird, Rin and... hehe."

Nanaya saw that the two girls did not stand up, and then he immediately saw Rin and Luvia rolling in their seats. The two beautiful ladies were disheveled, and their exposed necks and limbs were covered with abnormal red marks.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely think that they had done something unspeakable, but Nanaya knew very well that these two girls must have been wrestling in their seats for the entire movie.

Fortunately, the two rows nearby were filled with the crew's own people and invited guests, and the reporters and audience members were seated far away and couldn't see their ugly appearance clearly.

"Hurry up and pack up!" Nanaya warned the two girls in a low voice, "Use your coat to cover yourself up, and don't embarrass everyone when you go up to take your bow later!"

Rin and Luvia nodded silently. At this time, neither of them dared to refute Nanaya.

The applause in the theater continued, and even after five minutes, there was no sign of stopping.

"Congratulations. Nanaya!"

Peter Jackson walked up to Nanaya and was the first to give him a hug.

"Very good work, I wish you box office success."

"Thanks."

Nanaya returned the greeting to Peter, and then he suddenly hugged Shion tightly beside him.

"Hello!"

Shion didn't expect Nanaya to do this, she was stunned for a moment.

"Thank you for giving me this opportunity, boss."

Nanaya didn't do anything extra. He just gave Shion a grateful hug and then let her go.

But Shion's face turned red. She glared at Nanaya and warned him softly, "Next time, if you plan to do this again, you'd better give us a heads up in advance and don't do this kind of surprise attack."

Nanaya was in a very good mood at this time. He deliberately winked at Shion: "Why, boss, you are not used to close contact with men?"

"Snort!"

Shion slapped Nanaya on the butt with her folding fan. If it were another occasion, she would definitely give Nanaya a good beating.

At the very least... let this guy take a cool bath in Tokyo Bay.

At this time, other members of the crew also began to hug each other. This work, which took a year to complete, embodied the hard work of everyone present.

Everyone was extremely excited, and many people even became at a loss. This may be another reason why they hugged each other - to give their excited arms something to do so as not to make a fool of themselves.

Even Nanaya had the same tendency. He hugged everyone nearby tightly, even Irisviel, despite Kiritsugu's murderous gaze, and then he hugged Kiritsugu tightly again.

Nanaya has been under too much pressure in the past year, including nearly a year and a half of preparation time, and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in publicity and promotion. All of this is like a mountain pressing down on Nanaya, making it hard for him to breathe.

Finally at this moment, all of Nanaya's pressure was released.

After hugging everyone, Nanaya raised his fists above his head and let out a long roar of excitement to all the audience.

He, Nanaya Kiryu, finally handed in a satisfactory answer!
