Ch-46 Each unit prepared to start shooting.

"System, I want to spend two thousand Box Office Points to buy a set of projection equipment."

"Ding, congratulations to the host for acquiring his own sound playback equipment. Do you wish to extract it now?"

"No need for now, I'll wait until I find a suitable place."

Li Fan stood up from what he was doing and looked at Nojiko beside him.

"Nojiko, can you take me to a more open location?"

"I plan to show movies here and hope to find a place where as many people as possible can watch them."

"As for the vacant spots, Arlong Park is probably the emptiest," Nojiko said, putting her hand on her forehead. "However, most people probably don't like that place."

"The other option is the village square."

Li Fan nodded.

"Then please take me to the village square, Nojiko."

Nojiko nodded slightly, stood up, and led the way to the village square.

Li Fan and Gion followed closely behind.

On the way, Li Fan turned his head and looked at Gion with interest, while Gion faced Li Fan with a smile.

'She came to me as a geisha, being a marine.'

'Did the Navy send her to me as an undercover agent?'

'Could it be that you're interested in the abilities revealed in my last movie?'

'No...if that's all, it shouldn't be enough for a Navy Admiral candidate to visit my place.'

'So, She's interested in entities like the Sword of Promised Victory and the Sword of Rupture(Ea)."

'Indeed, it was the right decision to let the Sword of Promised Victory and the Sword of Rupture(Ea) showcase their abilities without using them earlier.'

'Otherwise, it might not be as simple as being an undercover agent.'

'I don't know if Tashigi is aware of this. Hmm... considering Tashigi's character, she probably isn't good at undercover work.'

'In other words, Navy plans to keep an eye on me both openly and covertly. Haha, no wonder Smoker allowed Tashigi to come to my ship so easily. That must be the reason.'

'Never mind, since the Navy is willing to send people over, I'll use them as my own actors.'

'Momotu Gion, a character like this should be able to fill many roles.'

If it weren't for the fact that many characters in "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" had already been decided, Li Fan would have considered letting Gion try out a more important role.

"Li Fan, this is it." After walking for a while, Nojiko stopped and asked, "Is this location suitable for you to show a movie?"

Li Fan turned around, looked around, and said, "Although it's still a bit small, it's just right."

"Nojiko, please go and talk to the villagers who are having a banquet. Let them know that if they want to watch a movie, they should come here."

"Of course, don't forget to inform them that they need to pay me 1,000 beli."

Although it's not during the screening period and i can't earn box office points, i can at least make some money.

"I understand, Director Li Fan." Nojiko smiled slightly and turned around to do as Li Fan instructed.

"Um, Director Li Fan, is there anything I can help you with?" Gion asked with a smile.

"No need, just watch."

After Li Fan replied, his thoughts focused on his task.

"System, help me set up my projection equipment."

Following Li Fan's voice, a massive projection screen and other auxiliary tools suddenly materialized in the originally empty venue.

Gion looked surprised at the abundance of items that had appeared out of nowhere.

"Director Li Fan also has the ability to conjure projection tools out of thin air."

"Haha, it's just a small ability," Li Fan shook his head. "After all, it's not a regular cinema, and the conditions are relatively simple. When you watch it later, you can just make do with Gion."

"I was very excited to see that movie, and nothing else."

On the other side, after learning that Li Fan was going to screen a movie in the village square, the villagers showed great interest and carried benches to the village square.

Suddenly, the entire village square was packed.

Seeing that nearly everyone had arrived, Li Fan operated the equipment and started the movie.

…

The next day, when the nearby Navy came to Cocoyasi Village to pick up the Navy under Captain Nezumi, Li Fan commenced the official filming of Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba.

It has to be said that after arriving at Cocoyasi Village, Li Fan felt that the scenery in Cocoyasi Village was more suitable for filming "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba" than Loguetown.

The buildings in Loguetown are more modern, while the houses in Cocoyasi Village have a more traditional, village-style look.

After gathering enough extras from Cocoyasi Village, Li Fan couldn't wait and started filming immediately.

Looking at Tashigi and others who were gathering together to discuss the script, Li Fan walked over with a smile.

"How are you? Are you ready, Tashigi, Nami, Nojiko?"

"Don't worry, Li Fan, I am fully prepared for the 5 million beli reward." Nami made an 'OK' gesture with a confident look on her face.

"I'm ready too, don't worry, Director Li Fan." Nojiko, who was dressed like a housewife and acted extremely gentle, said with a smile.

"However, Li Fan, it seems that you need to encourage Tashigi."

Hearing this, Li Fan looked at Tashigi, who was standing aside. At this moment, Tashigi was obviously nervous.

"What's wrong, Tashigi? Aren't you ready yet?"

"Well, Li Fan, I haven't learned [Water Breathing] yet. Do you really want to start shooting now?" Tashigi raised her head and looked at Li Fan with a worried expression.

"So you're worried about this." Li Fan smiled, "The scene I'm shooting now is when Tanjiro Kamado bids farewell to his family and goes to town to sell charcoal."

"The main focus is to show the warmth and friendship of Tanjiro's family, and it won't involve swordsmanship."

"So you can rest assured. As long as you play the role according to the techniques I explained to you before, it will be enough."

"As for practicing [Water Breathing], you can work on it on your own during other people's scenes."

"Look at Zoro, isn't he practicing diligently now that he doesn't have a role in the show?"

"Moreover, you have already mastered the [Water Breathing] skill to some extent, so there's nothing to worry about."

"Besides, I've always been guiding you."

"You've been working very hard, and I believe you'll do well, right, Tashigi."

Hearing Li Fan's encouragement, Tashigi cheered up slightly.

"Li Fan, thank you. I will try my best."

"That's right." Li Fan patted Tashigi on the shoulder and then moved a short distance away.

"Then, each unit prepares. The first shot of [Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba ] for the first time, begins!"
