Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 17: Holy Mountain Trip

"'The Journey to the Holy Mountain', what is this?"

In the compartment of the steam train Travel, Elsa looked curiously at what Drogo wrote on the paper.

"script."

"A script? You want to write a play?"

"No, but it's almost like that. It's for the filming of Shadow of Mordor." Drogo would pause for a long time after writing a line. The script for Shadow of Mordor was much more difficult than a children's comic. Even if one already had a general plot in mind, it would be difficult to fill it out as a script.

"So you want to use a camera to shoot the stage?" Elsa thought about the stage plays she had seen and felt that the effect would not be very good if it was put into the magic crystal stone.

“No need for a stage, we need to perform in real scenes.”

"Like the real thing?"

“Like the real thing.”

"Train to the Holy Mountain" is naturally an adapted version of "Train to Busan".

The original work tells the story of the male protagonist taking his daughter to Busan to visit her mother. However, a zombie crisis broke out unexpectedly, and he struggled to survive on the train with other companions he had just met.

This is one of the better zombie films. Although the plot is a bit cliché, the cliché still makes the tear-jerking effect obvious.

What's more, the residents of Twin Towers City have never seen the routines of commercial genre films.

Guaranteed results!

It took many years of development for zombie movies on Earth to be accepted by most audiences. However, this world does not need such foreshadowing, because there are real zombies here, and the number of necromancers is much greater than that of illusionists.

However, there are still many plot details that need to be adjusted.

The most important thing is to change the cause of the zombie crisis in the original film from the leakage of raw materials from the biological company to the fact that the potion from the Kuhlmann Pharmacy was a conspiracy of the necromancer.

Don't underestimate the power of film and television works. Do you know how much damage the phrase "Benelu, brand" in "Crazy Stone" did to BenQ?

Besides, there are other therapeutic drugs on the market, they are just more expensive than those produced by machines. If the reputation of the pharmaceutical factory is ruined, consumers will naturally choose alternatives.

Secondly, the problem of combat power setting needs to be solved.

There is always a problem with zombie movies: why the combat effectiveness of the army in them is so low.

It stands to reason that human-turned zombies should have no ability to resist the army. At most, they would cause a little chaos at the beginning of the outbreak, and then be mowed down by modern firepower.

And this world is even more exaggerated. The senior professionals are all humanoid Gundams, and the junior professionals are at least at the level of Li Sanguang and Chris. Who is afraid of zombies?

How to make it come back?

Yes, the stronger people are, the more battles they have participated in and the more healing potions they have used, so they are all infected, and only ordinary people are left.

As for why the train was not full of zombies at the beginning, it was because the professionals used teleportation, so there were no professionals on the train.

As a holy place of the church, the Holy Mountain uses its own healing methods, so it is not affected by healing potions. It also uses magic constructs to build a defense line as the end point of the plot.

Genius, Benlong is truly a genius.

The next step is to find all kinds of ways to dump the dirty water onto the pharmaceutical factory.

The male protagonist changed his career from a fund manager to a raw material supplier for a pharmaceutical factory. He judged that there was a problem with the pharmaceutical factory through the raw materials, but chose to conceal it for the sake of profit.

The most hated purely selfish executive in the entire script was changed to one of the managers of the pharmacy and chose to cooperate with the necromancer in order to make money.

If we then film a quick edit of the process of making, taking and transforming the healing potion into a corpse, similar to Requiem for a Dream, we will inevitably equate it with poison.

In the end, what made him a little conflicted was whether or not to change the ending of the original work.

Although the original story was tragic all the way, in the end the pregnant woman and the little girl were rescued by the army, which was a comforting ending to the tragedy. It was perfect, but not impactful enough.

When the movie was released, another version of the ending was circulating on the Internet, in which the army regarded the two as infected and shot them to death. It was quite shocking, but if he filmed it this way, the church would probably cause trouble.

It would be better to compromise and have an open ending, with the scene stopping at the moment when the construct discovers the survivors and waits for orders from superiors.

Whether he lives or dies is up to the audience, and he may be scolded, but the discussion will definitely be heated. He needs heat.

"Why?" Elsa, who was standing by, was already crying as she looked at the draft script. "What's next? Is there nothing next? How do they end up?"

"Well, this is the end."

"The ending? How can this be the ending!" Elsa's face was full of disbelief. How could there be such a drama? It was completely different from anything she had heard or seen before. Even the protagonist's final fate was not clearly written, and it stopped at the most tense juncture.

"It's just a story. There's no need to care so much about the ending. Isn't leaving blank space a kind of beauty?"

Although Drogo said this, he was still very satisfied with Elsa's reaction. This was exactly the effect he wanted.

These are just words. The advantage of words is that they leave room for imagination, not just short-term sensory impact.

When "Journey to the Holy Mountain" is completed and the audio-visual effects are superimposed, he can imagine the excitement of the crowd.

As people who hold optimistic and pessimistic views on the outcome of the story argue with each other, more curious people will want to see who this person is.

Angry emotions always need an outlet, and the most suitable one, besides the Magic Shadow filming team, is the Kuhlmann Pharmacy.

Don't overestimate the rationality of most people. Even if they know that the video is fake, anger will get to their heads and they will put themselves in the shoes of the real beverage factory.

I don’t know if Kuhlmann can handle it.

It's better not to be able to bear it.

Jie Jie Jie...

"All the carriages have been filmed." Yuno led a tall man who was covered tightly into the compartment.

Of course, it was a ghost who also served as a camera.

Their task today was to take pictures of the train and the station, recording every detail as much as possible.

It is definitely impossible to find a real train for the official shooting, so he needs to build a shooting location and strive to restore it one-to-one.

Even if you ask an illusionist to create an illusion, there must be a reference object.

Thanks to the fact that the railway system was just established and the various rules were not perfect, there was no security check, no identity verification, and no species restrictions, so Drogo and the camera were able to get on the train.

"Woo——"

The loud whistle of a steam train cuts across the wilderness.

We have entered the holy mountain.

"Wow!" Elsa and her brother excitedly leaned on the window, looking curiously at the blue mountains in the distance.

Holy Mountain, there is no other adjective. It is the only mountain in the entire continent that has been canonized, a holy place of the church, and one of the most well-known attractions.

But Drogo was not interested. It was not like he had been here before. The last time he came, he accidentally burned down a temple, which brought him great misfortune.

What's more, this place is filled with a smell similar to that of the eleven-ring scroll, which makes people feel phantom pain just by smelling it.

It would be better to continue studying his "If it's a dragon, go down a hundred floors."

The second part of the mini-game plan.

But now the dragon is stuck on the spikes at the top of the screen and cannot move. What bug is going on?

Before he could finish reading the inscription, the screen suddenly collapsed.

what's the situation?
He tried to restart it, but nothing happened.

His intuition told him that he was closely related to the Holy Mountain.

What does that mean? So the Holy Mountain is just a toilet to prevent people from taking paid shits, and it has a blocker installed, right?
