Durin's Diary

Chapter 443 New Year
How much talent does Du Lin have? This was a question that lingered in the minds of many older people that night.

A seventeen-year-old great director, a legendary Candle Dragon Warlock, a high-level invisible being, a genius craftsman, and the youngest music master.

Giving any one identity to another person would make people feel that this is the limit of what a person can achieve; but Du Lin combines all five in one, and it seems that there is no limit, and he is getting stronger every day.

In his latest work, some people saw a merciful killer; some saw a cold life, some saw children struggling to survive, and some saw a cold-blooded policeman.

A person's occupation, background and ethnicity can never truly distinguish between good and evil, but a person's words and actions can do so.

Du Lin summed it all up in a short trailer, and the things his peers made can't compare to what he did.

Watching Durin taking Astrid away, old Enrique was curious about how many miracles this child could create.

On the Eastern Front, his inventions had profoundly impacted the stability of the war situation, and the morale of the soldiers was high. The shell materials of the aliens were also worth a lot of money. Although almost no organs could be salvaged, thousands of deaths could be avoided every month. Just the pensions and maintaining the morale of the soldiers required a lot of money. By turning the money into bombs and throwing them at the aliens' heads, the cost was reduced by 20% after calculation.

The most important task of the Logistics Department now is to urge the farms controlled by the grassland elves in the three eastern countries to provide cotton on time and in fixed quantities.

At this time, the farm in the wilderness of Durin immediately began to open up new land - everyone in the circle only then discovered Durin's foresight.

A large number of new farms developed on wasteland will be used to grow cotton in large quantities. Starting next year, a large amount of cotton will be imported. Once this cotton passes quality inspection, it will be put into military use.

Materials made from nitrocellulose will replace arcane gunpowder to make artillery shells, and the Logistics Department will use arcane gunpowder to make more mothers of bombs.

Of course, a new generation of giant bombs is also in the making. Considering that Du Lin has given the development direction, the School of Engineering is preparing to let the great craftsmen of the Mesozoic era to make them.

Du Lin is still young, and the Craftsmen's Association and the Engineering College are not in a hurry to let Du Lin sit at the round table, so give them a chance. If you lose this, then one day when Du Lin takes the position, don't blame the elders for beating you to death if you have any nonsense or tricks.

What's more, the Circle of Truth and the Military Committee also want Du Lin to join them.

The Engineering Academy? The Craftsmen's Guild? The two largest organizations in Eastern Elfland both want to recruit Durin, so you'd better wait for them.

………………

Early in the morning on the third day of the New Year, Du Lin took the girls to meet their mentor Czerny.

After not seeing him for a while, the old deer's hair had turned white. When he saw Du Lin coming to see him with his whole family, the old deer was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

After watching the trailer for Dühring's new film and rereading Dühring's original work and storyboards, Professor Czerny sighed, "My child, you are making progress every year. I have nothing left to teach you."

"Without you, there would be no me today." Du Lin said with a smile.

This sentence made Professor Czerny feel very happy.

In the afternoon, the director of the Sidney Arts Center came again.

"My informant sent me a message saying that you have made a new movie." The old elf went straight to the point and showed Durin what it meant to reveal the real purpose.

"What kind of informant are you?" Du Lin was really confused. I showed a movie on the first night of the New Year, and came to Mentor Czerny's house on the third morning of the New Year. How did you, old man, smell the scent and get here? You are an elf, not a retriever.

"I won't betray my informant, kid. How about we work together again?"

"Well, you may not like the content of this movie, so you can take a look at the storyboard and the original script first." Du Lin felt that the combination of the old prairie elf assassin and the giant loli might not be suitable for Sidney.

But after watching the trailer, the old elf decided that he would definitely facilitate the introduction of this starting lineup, and then he took Durin's trailer and storyboard to find someone to confront.

Du Lin looked at Czerny: "Did you really make a lot of money last time?"

"It was a huge profit. During that time, millions of tourists visited Sidney. Each person spent twenty gold shields, which meant tens of millions in revenue, and over a million in net profit." At this point, Professor Czerny looked at Du Lin and said, "Your film is excellent, and the Sidney Cultural Center has always been doing practical work."

"Okay." Du Lin felt that he could still do his best to help the old elf that Sidney had united with.

After all, the first time is new, the second time is familiar, and everyone had a pleasant transaction.

Of course, this time Durin is ready to take the initiative to reduce the price by 50% - just so that the Eastern Elf Territory can also launch it at the same time, and he also told this wish to the old elf, hoping that he can pass Durin's wish on his communication with his colleagues.

………………

Everyone back at the art center felt like laughing after hearing the old elf's wish. The old Ganymede sitting next to the old elf looked at his old friend and said, "Mr. Durin is a grassland elf. We are naturally willing to agree to this request."

His friends nodded.

"As for the issue of money, I think Mr. Du Lin is willing to lower the price, but we have to respect art. Our art center has to buy several pieces of legendary garbage every year, not to mention movies made by a filmmaker with real talent like Mr. Du Lin." An old human said.

"I just like your serious style, old brother." Old Uccello pointed at him and smiled: "Anyone object?"

"The royal family settled accounts with us last time. During the two-week exclusive screening period, Du Lin's film generated a huge amount of wealth for Sidney's tourism industry. It was also our art center's largest and best investment of the year, and many nobles were willing to sponsor the center because of it." A companion shared this news. "It's a pity, but I heard that Mr. Du Lin can compose music and paint. If we could ask him for a painting and put it at the entrance of our gallery, it would help those fools who think they are so talented to understand."

After saying this, Old Ganezon looked towards his old friends with anticipation.

"I second." Old Uccello was the first to raise his hand.

Soon, all thirteen old men at the round table raised their hands.

Then everyone looked at the old elf.

Old Uccello said sincerely: "My old friend, how about I accompany you to see Turin?"

"If you're willing, I'm willing too, but I can't guarantee that Mr. Du Lin will accept the job. After all, his time is valuable. You and I should understand that, right?"

"That's natural. If he wants to paint, we can tell him where his painting will be hung. But I don't think his painting will be too big."

The old elf was still a little hesitant about this.

　Black Monkey was busy playing mahjong yesterday, so I'm writing a little slowly today.

　　By the way, the violin I played yesterday was Ecstasy.
