Ch-27 Buying Next Script!
As the movie screening ended, the system took back the equipment it had lent to Li Fan.
"Really, this system is so tight-fisted," Li Fan sighed as he thought about his empty cinema.
This caught the attention of Medusa, who was reading a book in the room.
"Li Fan, are you okay?"
"I'm fine. I'm just thinking about my future plans," Li Fan replied with a smile.
"If there's anything I can do to help, just let me know," Medusa offered.
"Thanks, Rider, I know."
Seeing that Li Fan was fine, Rider returned to immersing herself in her book.
Li Fan opened the system mall, looked at the available products, and shook his head slightly.
The projection equipment, taken back by the system, was also for sale in the system mall.
This meant that Li Fan would need to use box office points to buy projection equipment in the future.
A projection tool capable of accommodating two thousand viewers required two thousand box office points.
Considering that the release time of [fate/stay night] had passed, Li Fan chose not to buy the screening equipment.
Instead of investing in projection tools, it made more sense to spend box office points on scripts and supplementary tools.
"System, I want to purchase the script for { Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba }!" With only 30,250 box office points left, Li Fan could only afford the bronze script of { Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba }.
Following Li Fan's voice, the script soon appeared in Li Fan's hands.
After quickly browsing, Li Fan discovered that the plot of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" only reaches the Rehabilitation Training Arc, and there is no subsequent "Mugen Train Arc."
'Is this the so-called first part? But that's fine. There are too many episodes, and it's not convenient to make a movie.'
'So, who should I play this time...'
Looking at the script in his hand, Li Fan fell into deep thought.
'Although Tanjiro is pretty good, I prefer tragic heroes like Rengoku Kyojuro.'
'Sure enough, I'll choose Rengoku Kyojuro this time.'
'Although the plot of Googly Eyes-Rengoku in the first part is relatively small, it may not allow me to win the best actor award.'
'But when I shoot the second part, I may be able to get the best actor reward for playing Rengoku Kyojuro.'
"But I'm not sure if I can earn better rewards with the bronze script."
Li Fan hadn't forgotten that the excellent rewards he received for the first script were due to the system's help. However, from the second script onward, those bonuses wouldn't be available.
"In any case, now that i have the ability to protect myself, there's no need to rush shoot the second movie. It should premiere in a densely populated country."
"Since the release time is just ten days, there's no time to cover multiple regions."
Li Fan returned his attention to the system mall and noticed that, following his purchase of the { Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba } script, there were numerous other items listed below it.
He carefully examined the options and saw various props and abilities from [Demon Slayer ].
"Well... this time, the system didn't provide me with the characters' abilities from the script to assist with filming. So, I'll need to buy things from the mall to help with the production."
"While regular props are fine, replicating the characters' abilities from the story is a tough challenge."
"Take Protagonist Tanjiro Kamado's swordsmanship, for example. It's a key part of the story."
"Just letting the actors wield swords freely might not capture the essence of this drama."
After some consideration, Li Fan decided to purchase the [Tanjiro Kamado Template] and [Zenitsu Agatsuma Template].
In Li Fan's opinion, Tanjiro Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma demonstrated exceptional swordsmanship in the story. Other swordsmen had fewer prominent roles in this part of the plot, so Li Fan didn't see the need to buy their sword skills.
Furthermore, the [Tanjiro Kamado Template] and [Zenitsu Agatsuma Template] alone already cost him 2,000 box office points because the characters weren't very powerful in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba (1)."
Through the system, Li Fan learned that if he were to purchase these templates after the characters had grown stronger, it would cost more box office points.
"The template's use is limited to one month, but can it also be shared with others?" Li Fan wondered after reading the product description.
"While it's possible to share it, it would seem strange to directly grant others sword skills."
"I should learn it myself and then teach others."
"In one month, if you're a skilled swordsman, even if you can't master everything, you should at least reach a passable level."
"Afterwards, if an actor who learns swordsmanship is recognized as the best actor and gains certain character abilities, it can be considered a breakthrough."
"Now, the question is, who should play Tanjiro Kamado and Zenitsu Agatsuma?"
While pondering this, Li Fan couldn't help but think of Tashigi and Zoro.
"Hmm... Speaking of Tashigi, her sword skills are somewhat similar to water-breathing swordsmanship. If I bind her chest tightly with a bandage and use makeup, She might resemble a boy."
"Her bust doesn't seem particularly large right now, so I should be able to flatten it with a bandage."
Contemplating this, Li Fan couldn't help but recall the moment he helped Tashigi with a bandage.
Realizing his thoughts were straying, Li Fan quickly shook his head, banishing the somewhat embarrassing imagery from his mind.
"If possible, it would be nice to have her play Tanjiro Kamado."
"As for Zoro, it seems good to play the role of Zenitsu Agatsuma. Wait, with this guy's character, he can't play Zenitsu Agatsuma."
The image of Zoro shouting and crying loudly when he played the role of Zenitsu appeared in his mind. Li Fan felt that Zoro would probably reject this role.
"Forget it, let's see if there are any other suitable actors when the time comes."
"If that doesn't work, I'll be the stand-in when my Zenitsu Agatsuma takes action."
{ T/N- It was originally written as 'my wife Shan Yi' in the raw text, instead of 'Zenitsu.' These Chinese language quirks can lead to funny mix-ups. }
