This Woman (Rin Tohsaka) Has Finally Gone Crazy / Illya: Is It Too Late to Jump Ship?

King of Knights protested in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, Mordred."

"Hello!"

Artoria's eyes sharpened.

Shinji rested his chin on his hands, striking the classic Commander Ikari pose once again.

"You need to get used to it soon, Artoria. You'll see a lot of people who look just like you in the future."

"Where in this world are there so many people who look just like me? Not all of them are related to me by blood."

Artoria unknowingly set a flag.

Chapter 189 This woman (Tohsaka Rin) has finally gone mad.

After completing the initial outline, Shinji carefully revised the character settings in the script based on his outline and re-planned the plot of Apocalypse.

Meanwhile, Shinji instructed his Little Secretary to send audition invitations to various actors in the name of Type-Moon Company.

That's what they say, but in reality, Shinji didn't have many actors auditioning for important roles.

The most important actors are all Heroic Spirit; we can just summon them when the relics arrive.

The only actor who needs to be confirmed is Kairi Shishigou. Shinji originally thought of asking Shishigou for his image rights, and if the other party did not agree, he would simply create an original character with a similar positioning based on his template.

Surprisingly, Shishigou himself was quite interested and directly asked if he could participate in the film.

"How did he come up with the idea of acting himself?"

Shinji a little curious, so he asked the Little Secretary who was relaying his message.

Ophelia replied, "He himself said he was getting tired of being a bounty hunter and wanted to find something else to make a living."

Shinji frowned slightly. Based on the messages he had heard about Kairi Shishigou and his own understanding of that strange old man, the other party shouldn't be that kind of person.

"Boss, should we refuse him?"

Seeing Shinji frown, Ophelia asked.

"Fine, let him try Acting Skills training first. If it doesn't work out, we'll find someone else."

Anyway, since several key members of the FA crew are going to attend training courses, one more Shishigou won't make a difference.

If the other party truly intends to enter the acting industry, Shinji wouldn't refuse.

Mr. Xu from Hong Kong next door also became an actor later in life, and his portrayals of Leopard Head and Ao Bai are both classics.

Once the basic Acting Skills are in place, the rest is about how well the actor Role Fit.

Compared to Shinji's film script, which was constantly being revised and never finalized, the process of inviting actors went very smoothly.

Even Artoria was a little jealous.

"Sigh, Master, you're going to do something big again, and I'm not even included," Artoria pouted and complained. "You always say I'm the most important of all the Heroic Spirit, but when it comes to a big project, you don't include me."

Haha~

Shinji gave an awkward laugh; he was genuinely a little embarrassed.

"The summoning of Heroic Spirit hasn't been finalized yet, so what chance do you still have?"

Artoria coldly retorted, "Even if I do get a chance to appear, I'll probably be playing a France girl while wearing fake breasts, or I'll be playing my unfilial son with my hair in a ponytail, right?"

[You have been hanging out with Sakura for a long time, and even your complaints have become sharp.]

Shinji shook his head helplessly, then rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

"Actually, there's a scene in the movie that I need you to perform."

Which one?

"You and Mordred are undermining each other to show your friendship."

Artoria's face darkened. "I think Master, you misunderstand the meaning of the phrase 'to show friendliness'."

"You just need to know which scene it is, that's all."

"It's not a question of whether it's OK or not, is it?" Artoria's lips twitched. "Master, you're not planning to use the old footage for editing? That's quite impressive."

Shinji slightly curled the corners of his mouth. "Because I thought of an interesting move."

"Every time you say something is interesting, Master, we (Servants) never find it interesting."

Shinji seemed not to hear Artoria's complaint and said directly, "FSN was filmed from your perspective, but this time I'm going to film FA from Mordred's perspective."

Because he spoke so fast, Shinji used Mordred's nickname directly.

Artoria didn't really care what Shinji called her child; she cared more about what Shinji said.

"What is Mordred's perspective?"

"It's about how you treat her in her eyes, and what she sees as the significance of that war."

Shinji plans to film this battle again from Beckonne's perspective when he films FGO 1.6.

[Let's create a Rashomon effect, allowing fans to see how King Arthur, Mordred, and the Knights of the Round Table viewed the Battle of Camlann from their respective perspectives.]

Shinji thought this would be very interesting, because everyone would have their own preconceived notions, so the Battle of Camlann as seen by an individual would be highly subjective.

Each Battle of Camlann is told from a different perspective, and since everyone has a different stance, there will inevitably be some differences.

While it may seem like the story is getting more and more complicated, understanding the perspectives of each narrator actually provides outsiders with a more comprehensive understanding of the war.

As for who is right and who is wrong, let the audience judge for themselves.

"So, you mean looking at things from all angles?" Artoria nodded after a moment's thought. "Very well, let's do it that way then."

So you're agreeing?

Artoria replied affirmatively, "I've always wanted to know exactly where I went wrong, and this might be an opportunity. There are so many people; they're all smarter than I am."

You should say that three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang.

Shinji shrugged.

"Speaking of acting, Master, you yourself are actually quite suitable for the male lead this time! Why don't you just play this guy named Amakusa or something?"

Perhaps annoyed by Shinji's constant teasing, Artoria turned the tables on him.

"My temperament is completely different from that priest's! If we really have to say, isn't Shirou more like him?"

Shinji helplessly retorted, "Especially since I don't even believe in teachings."

"But Master, you often lie to people, and you also control a bunch of Heroic Spirit, right?"

"..."

Shinji really couldn't refute this point.

◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆

Of course, no matter how suitable Shinji was to play Shirou Kotomine in Artoria's eyes, he would not take the role.

On one hand, Shinji's Acting Skills are not as good as Amakusa's substitute Shirou.

It's one thing for him to occasionally play a minor role like Shinji Matou, but Shinji's not confident about Lead Actor in a movie.

In any case, looking at the history of film development, most of the movies directed and starred by the actors themselves were flops.

Shinji, making his first film about his own story, especially a big-budget commercial production, felt it was better to indulge in some metaphysics.

Speaking of Acting Skills, Shinji has been having some headaches lately.

Filming for FA is still a while away, so the actors have plenty of time to hone their Acting Skills.

However, due to scheduling conflicts with the TV station, there wasn't a way to slowly develop the actors for "Fairy Tale 101".

Therefore, how to improve the Acting Skills of the actors in <Magic 1> became a problem.

It's not just newcomers like Luviya who have Acting Skills problems; even veteran actors like Illya and Rin have issues with their acting skills.

Unlike serious movies like FSN, <Fate/stay night: Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha> is Tokusatsu, and Tokusatsu with a Magical Girl theme.

Although every boy has a tokusatsu hero living in his heart, and every girl has a dream of becoming Magical Girl.

But saying it is one thing, thinking it is another; actually wearing Magical Girl outfit and striking poses that are overly cringeworthy in front of the camera is still incredibly embarrassing.

After studying it for a long time, Shinji finally decided to ask Tsuburaya Productions to find two on-set directors who were more familiar with the Tokusatsu) filming process to help him.

In short, we must ensure that these actresses playing Magical Girl and True Magic grandmas, while maintaining their own charm and good looks, truly embody the feeling of Magical Girl.

Compared to Shinji's nervousness, the Lead Actor, Illya, seemed very relaxed.

The little girl had no idea that the entire "Fate/stay night" crew wasn't very confident in her ability to play the role of Magical Girl well.

It was probably during the filming of the movie version of Fate/stay night that Illya felt she was a very good Acting Skills because Shinji praised her Acting Skills (actually, Second Master was just trying to boost her confidence).

Especially after starring in Shinji /Zero, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel, Illya even developed a misconception—my Acting Skills must be amazing, otherwise why would Shinji always cast me in his Filming?

Illya even felt that her Acting Skills must have improved a lot recently, otherwise why would Shinji have chosen her as the Lead Actor?

Illya possessed a mysterious confidence in her Acting Skills.

This confidence isn't entirely wrong; while her Acting Skills might not be the best among Fuyuki -style actors, they are at least above average.

Of course, this is based on the standards for child stars.

Illya feels that her only regret is that, to date, she has only played the role of Illya Beni.

No matter how well she acts, she can't make these Illya her signature roles.

Otherwise, if someone asks, "Which role do you think the actress played best as Illya?", most people can only answer, "The best portrayal of Illya is Illya."

What kind of nonsense is this?!

Therefore, what Illya hopes for most now is that her outstanding performance in "Fate/stay night" will catch the attention of other Director, allowing her to step out of her small circle and truly enter the entertainment industry.

Illya believes that as long as she performs the same outstanding Acting Skills she did in High Heaven, she will definitely gain attention.

Actually, due to age restrictions imposed by the rating system, Illya has never seen the complete HF film.

Illya was just feeling good about it.

"Never mind, with Shinji backing me up, everything should go very smoothly."

With this optimistic mindset, Illya happily joined the <Fairy Tale> production team.

Then she saw -- the True Magic old lady Tohsaka Rin.

"Magecraft Mystic Code Ruby!"

"Class Card, Limited Deployment!"

"Passion is like fire, friendship is like the wind, love is like a mountain, and family is like a forest!"

"Magical Girl Ruby - Kaleido Ruby she comes!" (ω<) ★

Boom!

The instant Rin finished striking her pose, a thick, acrid, colored smoke exploded behind her.

Illya, who witnessed the whole thing, was completely dumbfounded.

What is that strange red staff that Big Sister Rin is holding?

What was that strange, mysterious movement all about?

Also, why did Rin suddenly explode after posing?

"It seems that Big Sister Rin's reason was completely destroyed in her fight with Luviya."

Chapter 190 Illya: Is it too late to jump out of the car now?

Fortunately, Illya's worst fears did not come true.

Tohsaka Rin has gone mad, but not completely mad.

As soon as the smoke from the explosion cleared, her expression instantly changed from one of pure joy to one of utter utter disbelief.

"I'll lead you (N) to fight (D)!"

Rin angrily threw her True Magic away and, mimicking Shinji's old catchphrase, yelled, "Shinji Matou, are you deliberately picking a fight?!"
