Chapter 144: Chapter 142 Unexpected Film Review (Bonus)
Monday morning sunlight shone through the window and into the room.
The whole room was silent until——
[Wahahahaha——————!]
That familiar laughter, a mixture of Li Kui and Zhang Sanye's, suddenly echoed in the room.
"grass!"
Nanaya opened his eyes quickly and jumped out of bed as fast as he could.
Then he rushed to the desk opposite him, picked up the alarm clock that was making the laughing sound and threw it away.
[Wow, hahahaha——————]
The alarm clock was smashed into pieces in the corner, which allowed Nanaya, whose good dream was disturbed, to calm down a little.
"Which bastard put this alarm clock in my room! Huh?"
Nanaya picked up the note under the alarm clock, which read:
[I specially found an alarm clock for you that is the same as the one you have at home, I hope it can help you sleep well. Puji~——by the beautiful and invincible Shion-chan (??????ω????)★]
Bang!
Nanaya angrily threw the note paper to the ground. He stepped on the note paper hard and roared loudly.
"Screw your mother! Are you sure you don't want to give me a heart attack?"
Nanaya, who was woken up by the alarm clock, was no longer sleepy. He picked up a short-sleeved shirt from the sofa next to him and hurriedly put it on.
He originally wanted to watch TV to kill time, but there were no good programs on Monday morning, only various news.
The morning news was basically all about international affairs, and there was no entertainment section that Nanaya was more concerned about.
So Nanaya could only turn off the TV in frustration. After being woken up by the alarm clock, he was now ruined by the TV again.
So Nanaya, who had nothing to do, could only go into the bathroom. After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he left his room and went to the restaurant downstairs.
Currently, Nanaya and all the crew members of "Goblin Slayer" are staying in this five-star hotel in the center of New York City.
With 24-hour room service and breakfast and lunch included, it can be said to be a very good accommodation environment in New York.
Of course, the money for living here was definitely not paid by Nanaya, the skinner, but by the big boss Washimine Shion.
But even so, Nanaya could not forgive the woman for secretly putting that weird alarm clock in his room.
"Ha————yawn——, it's so rare that I finally got a good night's sleep, but I didn't expect to be woken up like this."
Nanaya walked into the hotel restaurant while yawning.
It was breakfast time, and everyone was sitting together in groups of three or four, laughing and discussing something.
I don't know if it was because it was a Monday morning, but the restaurant seemed very empty at this time. Apart from the crew members of Goblin Slayer, there were no other customers.
"Hey, senior! You finally got up. It's an exciting morning, right?"
Rin, who was reading newspapers and magazines with Luvia, asked with a smile when she saw Nanaya come in.
"You had something to do with the alarm clock?"
Nanaya guessed something immediately, so he ruffled Rin's hair with his hands.
"Can't you just wake me up using normal means?!"
"We've tried it more than once." Rin replied, holding his head, "But no matter how we called you, you wouldn't wake up. So we asked Ryougi-san, and he said this method was the most effective."
"Ori, you plotted against me!"
Nanaya sneered.
Rin, who was fixing her hair, glanced at Nanaya and said, "By the way, Senior. We went to many places to buy that alarm clock, so you must cherish it."
Nanaya turned his head away. He would never say that he had broken the alarm clock.
"Come to think of it, Senior, you've been getting up very late lately. This is not like you." Luvia, who was reading the newspaper, turned her head and glanced at Nanaya, "Are you tired lately?"
"That's about right."
Nanaya shook his head. He was indeed very busy recently. The public relations and promotion of "Goblin Slayer" alone made him wish he could split himself into two people.
But the main reason is that the success of "God Slayer" made him slack off. Without the same great pressure as before, Nanaya inevitably became a little lazy.
"We left breakfast for you, let's eat together."
Rin moved a plate full of sausages and bread in front of Nanaya, while her and Luvia's plates only had simple vegetables and fruits.
"You two only eat this little?" Nanaya was a little confused, "You two need to eat more."
You have to know that as the first and second female protagonists of "Goblin Slayer", Luvia and Rin obviously have to participate in more promotional activities than Nanaya.
These two school girls only ate this little, which made Nanaya a little worried whether they could hold on.
"No."
Rin shook her head, but judging by the way she looked at the sausages on Nanaya's plate, her will was obviously not as strong as she said.
"Luvia and I are both getting overweight. We've been eating too much in the U.S. lately." Rin's fork slowly spun on the plate. "So, in order to maintain our weight..."
Rin shrugged and said nothing more.
However, Nanaya could feel her helplessness.
As an idol and an actor, keeping in shape is something that must be done. And there is no such thing as not being able to do it, because those who cannot do it will be eliminated from these two industries.
Unless you want to be a special actress like a fat woman, you just have to control your mouth.
However, when Rin was eating the plants on his plate, his eyes would always unconsciously glance at Nanaya's plate.
This made the entire meal process a little uncomfortable for Nanaya.
"If you want to eat, just say so." Nanaya sighed and said, "There's no need to stare at me like that."
"Greedy? No! I just don't want to weigh more than Gold Diamond. My breasts are obviously not big enough, so if I weigh more, wouldn't that mean I'm much heavier than her?!"
Rin's reaction was a little intense. She looked a bit like Wang Er who stole three hundred taels of silver.
In order to divert attention, Rin turned to Luvia and asked, "Hey, Golden Drill, are there any new film reviews in the newspaper?"
Recently, Rin and Luvia often sit together during breakfast.
Nanaya and other insiders certainly knew that it was definitely not because of the in-depth communication at the premiere that the two girls fell in love with each other.
On the contrary, the two girls are now in the most intense conflict. Every day they look for media reviews of "Goblin Slayer" and compete with each other over the content about themselves.
In Nanaya's opinion, this was just the temper of a child, but it was undeniable that it was quite interesting to watch two beautiful girls get angry with each other.
It's just that Rin's figure is a bit disappointing.
[It would be better if it were a little fuller, but unfortunately...]
Nanaya quickly shook off his unrealistic thoughts. Then, he leaned over and asked Luvia curiously, "How is it, are there any interesting film reviews?"
"let me see..."
Luvia turned slightly to the side, she didn't want Rin to see the newspaper in her hand, and then she handed the newspaper to Nanaya.
Nanaya has not yet obtained the latest box office summary of "Goblin Slayer", but based on the current data and speculation from professional box office compilation agencies, Nanaya estimates that the cumulative box office performance of "Goblin Slayer" in North America in the third week should exceed the 100 million US dollar mark.
This is a very rare phenomenon for a foreign film, especially since "Goblin Slayer" has not yet ended its screening but is currently being shown in full swing.
Based on normal box office trends, Nanaya estimates that the total North American box office of "Goblin Slayer" may reach 200 million US dollars.
Although this result is nothing compared to Spider-Man's $400 million, in a year when Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets and The Lord of the Rings have not yet been released, Goblin Slayer's box office performance should be able to stay in the top five for a long time.
With the situation looking so good, film reviews in major magazines are mostly full of praise.
After all, as mainstream media, it is not what they would do to sing a different tune from the public. On the contrary, conforming to the public is the guarantee for them to become mainstream.
"The New York Times gave Goblin Slayer a score of 84."
Luvia handed over a newspaper.
Nanaya saw a newspaper saying: "Goblin Slayer" is a movie adapted from a game, and it is the kind of movie that will fail miserably if you are not careful. But the filmmakers are very smart. They have separated from the main plot of the game to tell a special story. But in the movie, there are countless Easter eggs hidden to win the hearts of fans of the original. Whether you are a fan of the original game or not, you can find fun in the movie, of course, the premise is that you are over 17 years old, or let your parents take you to see it.
"It looks good."
Nanaya nodded with satisfaction.
"The review in Premiere is similar to that in The New York Times." Rin put down a newspaper in his hand. "It's a bold and unique work."
"This one is interesting. It has a bad review." Luvia picked up another newspaper. "The whole movie is full of violence and nudity. It is only restrained when the heroine appears."
Luvia raised her eyebrows at Rin as she spoke, as if she was showing off something.
"Oh, this." Nanaya said vaguely with a piece of bread in his mouth, "This is the review I wrote. I deliberately asked Washimine to post it as a bad review. This will attract movie fans who like violence and nudity to watch it."
"Why?"
Luvia seemed very disappointed. She thought that this was a compliment to her that her acting was the best in the entire crew.
"Senior, you are so mean. I think... this!"
"What's wrong?"
Nanaya saw Luvia suddenly cover her mouth, as if the newspaper she was reading had given her a huge shock.
"The commander-in-chief watched our movie and wrote a review for you." Luvia threw a newspaper to Nanaya. Judging from the expression on her face, it didn't seem to be a good thing.
Nanaya took the newspaper, and the first thing he saw was a bold headline: "We will treat our enemies the same way that Goblin Slayer treats Goblins!"
