Chapter 34: The First Cinema in Another World

  Edward toured the Nosrick Grand Theater and found it to be satisfactory.

  Baron Baniel, who followed him closely, remained very respectful. Although he was a vist and Edward a baron, it was important to remember that Edward was also a highly skilled magi. Even though he had been expelled from the Imperial Mage Tower, his personal strength remained unged, only g the work of the Tower.

  "Lord Durin, do you see any issues with our theater?" Baniel inquired.

  Edward responded calmly, "The seating arra is te. While this is fine for stage pys, for films, such a rge seating area would result in a poor viewing experience for those in the back. You 't expect every viewer to have an Eagle Eye spell."

  Indeed, as the Nosrick Grand Theater was inally an opera house, its three-tiered structure allowed viewers on the sed and third floors to see the stage from above. However, this setup was not ideal for films. Even though myopia was not a signifit issue in this world, the height difference alone could ruin the viewing experience.

  "The seating problem doeshere. Ideally, ema seats should be slightly ined. Ft seats will obstruct the view of those in the back. The interihting o be carefully trolled. If possible, I would also like the audieo be allowed t in their own food. No, actually, that could cause problems. It would be better if the theater provided small, quiet snacks that are easy to up."

  Edward rattled off a series of suggestions for transf the theater, causing Bao hurriedly take notes like an eager student. Baniel, slightly overwhelmed, replied immediately after Edward finished, "As expected of a great magi, Lord Durin. Your ideas are ahead of their time. However, making all these ges right now might be a bit rushed..."

  "Of course, I'm just giving you suggestions. I don't expect you to make all the ges immediately. What you o dht now is transform the stage used for pys into a suitable area for film sings."

  Edoio the red curtains and the decoratio to prevent the stage from looking too empty.

  Once Baniel cleared the stage acc to Edward's instrus, the theater started to look more like a ema. Edward theimated the wall size and said, "How long would it take to paint that wall white?"

  "If the workers are quick, probably half an afternoon."

  "Good. Get it done as soon as possible. If everything is ready, we have the premiere tonight."

  Edward's words indicated his satisfa with the theater's readiness for sing movies. Baniel, uanding Edward's vision, quickly began modifying the family theater as suggested.

  Truth be told, if Baniel had been an older, more stubborn individual, he likely wouldn't have agreed to Edward's unventional pns. Older people often g to tradition and are resistant to ge, viewing the abando of a s as a severe disrespect to their heritage. While this mi may seem reasonable on the surface, it signifitly hinders cultural and teological progress.

  For the tinued promotion of "KonoSuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!" in its film format, these servative traditionalists would present a signifit challehey trol many old theaters and hold siderable influence, and would likely obstruct the development of movies. However, Edward had anticipated this and po s films in open-air pzas as an alternative.

  ......

  As Baniel quickly started the modifications, Edward nodded in approval and instructed, "When the film is shown, please ehe enviro is pletely dark. Those glowing magic stones o be removed or their internal magic drained. Make sure there are plenty of seats. The sed floor be used for viewing, but the third floor is out of the question. Also, before the sing, adjust the angle of the imaging crystal so that viewers in the back see the full picture."

  Edward's rapid-fire instrus were a bit too much for Bao remember, but his assistant, who had arrived early, diligently took notes.

  As the theater's transformation neared pletion, Edward took a seat in the audience area and looked at the newly whitewashed wall with satisfa. Baniel's dedication to the film was evident, and he had nearly perfectly met Edward's requirements. This suggested that the premiere would be a great success.

  Although the actual experience wouldn't be as good as the emas Edward had visited in his previous life, this transformed theater was quite fortable by the standards of this world.

  With these thoughts, Edward suddenly remembered that he had po watch the sed part of the "Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel" movie trilogy before he got transported to this world. It ity he didn't get to see it.

  Lost ihoughts, Edward noticed that the theater's ema version was nearly plete when Baniel returned.

  "I believe you were supposed to promote the sing. How is that going? While we don't need a full house for the premiere, we 't have too few people either."

  Baniel nodded, "Yes, I've had my people ge the billboard at the entrao advertise your film. With the i popurity of the Nosrick Grand Theater, plenty of people will be attracted. Then, by word of mouth, more and more people will e to watch."

  Although Baniel's fidence was reassuring, somethi off to Edward. He suddenly asked, "You mentioned relying on word of mouth? Does that mean you haven't done any formal promotion or advertising?"

  "Promotion? Isn't that just shouting at the entrance? Our Nosrick Grand Theater is the only one in Nosrick, so everyone knows about it. By the way, what is advertising?"

  Edward's expression ged immediately at Baniel's naive assumption.

  Clearly, everything had been going too smoothly, and Edward had overlooked an important issue: despite the developed paper industry in this world, there were no means of obtainiime information. Moreover, people here had no cept of roper promotio!
