I am a director in Ark. If I am not banned, I will be considered successful.

"Please!"

Everyone held a champagne glass in their hands and took a sip of champagne. After that, Lady Sicily turned to look at the group of people from Texas who were closest to her and called out softly:

"Mike, Sonny, Tom, Fredo."

"Yes, father."

However, Mrs. Sicily's gentle call was almost immediately responded to by the four children in the movie. However, it was only later, accompanied by a burst of laughter in the hotel, that the four people realized that they were so immersed in the play that they reflexively called Mrs. Sicily "Father".

However, none of the four showed any embarrassment, not even Lady Sicily. When she heard the four children calling her "father", she smiled faintly and said softly:

"Children, please forgive me for using the names from the movie just now, because that's all I want you to call me."

"I have no children in my life, but I experienced what it feels like to be a father through this movie. In a sense, my children, you have fulfilled one of my wishes."

Having said that, Mrs. Sicily turned her head slightly and looked at Chen Qi beside her. After getting a slight nod from Chen Qi, Mrs. Sicily finally made her own decision.

"——Children, you all have your own fathers, so you don't need to call me 'father' again."

"But, if you don't mind, you can call me 'godmother', I will be happy too."

As soon as Mrs. Sicily said this, there was silence in the hotel. No one had expected that Mrs. Sicily would make these four people her godsons at this time.

You know, in Syracuse, the status and responsibilities of godfathers and godmothers are no less than those of real parents. As the founder of Syracuse's order and the actual ruler of the Grey Hall, the title of "godmother" is so important that it can be said that the four of them have a lot of weight in Syracuse.

For a moment, countless families looked at Texas and his four companions with envy and jealousy. In the end, after the four of them looked at each other in bewilderment, facing the hand extended by Lady Sicily, Texas became the first person to step forward.

“…Godmother.”

Texas bent down respectfully and kissed the back of Lady Sicily's hand. Soon after, Shiye, Chizui, and Giovanna followed suit and kissed Lady Sicily one by one.

"I'm glad, kids, that you all got to shine in this movie."

Mrs. Sicily smiled sincerely at the four children in front of her and said softly:

"The future of Syracuse may be in your hands. I hope that one day in the future, you can remember the affection that this encounter has brought you, so that you can work together to create a path for Syracuse that you recognize."

Following the completion of Lady Sicily's ceremony, cheers and applause once again lingered in the hotel. Texas, Shiye, Giovanna and Chizui looked at each other and couldn't help but smile in tacit understanding.

……

With the carnival of the final wrap party coming to an end, everyone from Penguin Logistics could no longer stay in Syracuse, they still needed to return to Longmen. However, before they left, Chen Qi asked them to do something more important.

"Then, Your Majesty, I will leave the promotion of The Godfather in Longmen to you."

"Don't worry, I will also plead for you in front of Wei Yanwu just for this song you gave me. Just wait for your movie to be successfully released in Longmen!"

After the emperor shook hands with Chen Qi with his fin, he did not forget to make friends with Chen Qi - maybe in the future, Chen Qi would need his help more in the promotion and premieres of Longmen and even Yan Country's movies.

"If you need any help from us girls in the future, feel free to contact us. As long as you have any difficulties, we will definitely help you as soon as possible."

"Well, goodbye then. I hope you can come back to Longmen to film again one day!"

The Emperor and the four girls from Penguin Logistics also said goodbye to Chen Qi one after another. As the land ship started, Chen Qi watched them slowly leave Syracuse... until a piece of clothing was put on him.

"Thank you, Tallulah."

"What did you ask them to do?" After Tallulah put on Chen Qi's coat, she turned around and asked, "I heard you talk about publicity and premieres before... Do you want to promote The Godfather in Longmen as well?"

"Our last movie was just banned in Longmen. I'm afraid that guy Wei Yanwu won't let our movie be shown again so easily, right?"

"——That's why I gave the Emperor and the others the promotional PV for our movie The Godfather." Chen Qi smiled faintly upon hearing this. He was obviously very satisfied with the quality of the promotional PV and said confidently:

"If everyone at Longmen is interested in our promotional PV, but finds out that the film is only shown in Syracuse, they will definitely try their best to learn about our film through the Internet."

"When the time comes and Longmen's support grows, we can go and discuss the release of the film with Chief Wei Yanwu... By then, we won't be afraid of Chief Wei Yanwu trying to stop us."

As a time traveler, Chen Qike understands these routines too well. Nowadays, no matter whether it is a movie, TV series or animation being released, they all like to show you a three-minute PV first, using some lines in the plot that they think are good to reveal the worldview and information, to tell you what the tone of the work is.

Even mobile games have started to use PV promotion these days, using all kinds of editing and special effects to show off their "financial strength" and then attract players who have been deceived by PV to come in and spend money.

Even the original game manufacturer of the world that I traveled to likes to use the routine of "I have an announcement: I have an announcement tomorrow."

But no matter what, this kind of PV promotion routine does take into account everyone's understanding of what kind of movie "The Godfather" is, especially for a continent like Terra where communication and transportation are very inconvenient, and people from different countries on the same land may not understand each other's living habits and culture at all, so they need a PV to help them understand the movie.

"So I chose a Yan country song that best fits our movie, and invited the popular rapper Dadi to sing it. With so many BUFFs, there will be absolutely no problem promoting The Godfather in Longmen!"

"I see... That's why you used the song "In the Name of the Father" to get the Emperor and Penguin Logistics to come together. So that's your idea."

It was not until now that Tallulah understood why Chen Qi used a song to invite the emperor. At first she thought it was to please him, after all, the emperor liked rap songs very much.

Now it seems... it turns out that the Emperor is working for Chen Qi. The song he practiced for so long is used by Chen Qi as the accompaniment for his promotional PV.

...Forget it. Seeing how happy the emperor is, he seems to be happy too. That's good.

"Get ready. In a few days, we might get a call from Mr. Chen and the others."

"Well, I believe you."

Just when Chen Qi was feeling very proud, Tallulah gently hugged one of his arms and leaned her body tightly against Chen Qi.

Soon, Tallulah's tail wrapped around Chen Qi's thigh, constantly sending a signal to Chen Qi - a signal to fulfill her promise.

It looks like tonight won't be peaceful... Chen Qi smiled faintly, but did not resist Tallulah's suggestion. Instead, he couldn't wait to pick up Tallulah and walked slowly towards the back door of the hotel.

Chapter 19: Hearing the poem "In the Name of the Father" by Huai Ya

A few days later, in Longmen's Guard Bureau, Shi Huaiya was handling the affairs of a senior police superintendent as usual, but the affairs of recent days made her look a little overwhelmed.

"What happened to the two recent fights? Please give me a report." Shi Huaiya supported her head with one hand, weakly waiting for the report from her colleague from the Guard Bureau beside her, but even if she didn't listen, she knew what was going on.

"Yes, the first one happened two days ago, and the most recent one happened last night. A group of children between the ages of twelve and eighteen clashed with the infected in the slums over territory. Many people were injured."

The member of the Imperial Guard Bureau could hardly hide his embarrassment, because he had already sensed the anger that was about to erupt from the senior superintendent in front of him, but he could only bite the bullet and report:

"These kids who were fighting for territory with the infected were not infected. When our guards arrived, they even tried to attack the police... After being arrested, they confessed to their crimes."

"They all watched Young and Dangerous and were attracted by the brotherhood and the conflicts in the film. They began to have some inexplicable ideas and went to the slums to play the game of revenge and even clashed with the infected."

"Fortunately, Miss Lin Yuxia and the Rat King's men were able to arrive in time every time, so the casualties were minimized. The injured infected are receiving treatment, and these children are also waiting for their parents to redeem them at the Guard Bureau."

"What redemption do you want? Lock me up for fifteen days! Ahhhhh! I'm so fed up!"

However, upon hearing about this happening again, Shi Huaiya, who had been under tremendous pressure recently, exploded as expected. Fortunately, everyone in the Guard Bureau had already anticipated the signs of the tigress's explosion and were mentally prepared.

However, everyone can understand Shi Huaiya's outburst. During this period, the workload of the Guard Bureau is indeed much greater than before. In the past few days alone, the number of fights and brawls to be dealt with has more than doubled than before.

The source of all this, these arrested children, all pointed the finger at the movie "Young and Dangerous" which was a huge hit and controversial in Longmen a few months ago.

It has to be said that the movie "Young and Dangerous" gave a strong shot of stimulant to Longmen Films, which has been in a slump for some time. Longmen has filmed many stories about the police, but few have focused on the so-called gangsters.

A movie that was shot in just over 20 days, but it vividly shows the appearance of Longmen more than 20 years ago. However, adults can see more of a piece of history, but young people are more focused on the brotherhood and violence in this story.

The simplest violence can arouse people's desire for destruction, especially the movie "Young and Dangerous" has a lot of descriptions of "righteousness", which makes these thugs become "heroes" in the hearts of some children whose worldview is still imperfect.

Especially nowadays, most children are well protected by their parents... They already have long-suppressed desires in their hearts, and after watching "Young and Dangerous", the impulses in their hearts are subtly ignited.

"Don't worry, Superintendent Shi Huaiya, I heard that Chief Wei is planning to announce the ban on Young and Dangerous..."

Seeing Shi Huaiya getting angry, the member of the Longmen Guard Bureau quickly spoke to comfort her, "Young and Dangerous has been completely banned in Longmen. Now only some clips and gun versions are circulating on the Internet. As long as we ban it completely, coupled with the efforts of our Guard Bureau, we will definitely be able to turn the tide."

"You forgot that I invested in this movie! I'm a major shareholder!"

However, Shi Huaiya became angry when she mentioned this. She felt that she was really in a dilemma. On the one hand, she was troubled by the increasing work pressure brought by "Young and Dangerous", but on the other hand, as an investor, she had to admit that the profits brought by "Young and Dangerous" were really considerable.

At the beginning, Shi Huaiya didn't actually have high expectations for this movie. It was only because of Tallulah's return, and because she was Chen's sister and her childhood playmate, that she invested in a movie about someone she liked.

Especially for a movie, when it was finished shooting in more than 20 days, Shi Huaiya was already sure that it was a shoddy movie... Shi Huaiya promoted the movie so much with the idea of ​​breaking the jar, and was already expecting to lose money.

But now, the huge success of "Young and Dangerous" not only surprised Shi Huaiya, but also made her see the return on her investment - but just when the signs of this return were just beginning to show, Chief Wei Yanwu wanted to ban the movie!

She just saw the return money!

Shi Huaiya was very upset. He had originally been thinking about a business that would lose money, but now he was pleasantly surprised to find that there might still be money to be made. However, his hope was strangled in the bud all of a sudden... Shi Huaiya was very angry about this, but he didn't know who to vent his anger on.

"Forget it, forget it, just go out and leave me alone for a while..."

Shi Huaiya also waved her hands and asked everyone to leave the office with a headache on her face. She just felt very tired now and needed to put her work aside and rest for a while.

"Let me check my phone to see if there's any interesting news recently. I hope it can help me forget about this annoying thing."

"Xiao Ta's boyfriend in the future... is his name Chen Qi? Although he is quite talented, I will never invest in a bloody and violent movie that is about to be banned. It's troublesome to release it in Longmen, let alone in Yan Country."

Shi Huaiya muttered to herself as she opened Longmen's entertainment app. In today's Terra continent, each mobile city would basically only receive news from within the city and was not well-informed about news from the outside world. Therefore, even for entertainment videos, one could only see those shot or produced by people within Longmen.

"Hmm? This is... the news from Penguin Logistics? The Emperor has a new song?"

Soon, Shi Huaiya saw the hot news pushed on the homepage from a large number of low-creativity videos. Looking at the label of "over 10,000 likes", he immediately recognized the figure of the emperor penguin on the cover of the video.

On the cover, in addition to the figure of the emperor, there are four girls from Penguin Logistics standing in two rows. Shi Huaiya is very familiar with them. Every now and then they get into trouble and are sent to the detention center. Every time, she or Chen has to personally entertain them.

But...their outfits are very uniform this time, all wearing suits, ties, coats, and sunglasses. They look so handsome, right?

"Could it be that the Emperor has changed his style this time? He has always had a lot of rap fans, is he planning to transform this time?"

"The name of the song... is 'In the Name of the Father', huh? Is it a promotional video for the movie?"

Shi Huaiya quickly saw the special feature of this song from the title of the video, and driven by curiosity, she clicked on the video.

In fact, Shi Huaiya has never really appreciated the rap of the Great Emperor. She is familiar with rap as her family grew up in Victoria, but she has been cultivated in her sentiments since childhood and has a high level of appreciation for art, so she disdains rap, which is not very mainstream.

But this time, just when Shi Huaiya clicked on the video and prepared herself mentally for the extremely noisy rap prelude, she unexpectedly discovered... it seemed different from what she thought?

"Congratulations on discovering the treasure of the town!"

"One hundred million more times!"

"The more I listen, the more I like it. This is really the quintessence of Yan Country, so cool!"

As soon as she opened the video, Shi Huaiya saw a large number of high-level barrages that blurred her face, making it impossible for her to see the video. Shi Huaiya immediately closed the barrages, only to find that what came into her eyes was a string of unfamiliar words, and the subtitles below were translated.

"Merciful Doctrine, thank you for your gift to my family."

Along with the whispers, an elegant cello sound came into her ears first. Shi Huaiya quickly discerned the darkness, coldness and mystery that this melody conveyed.

"With all my encounters, and divine love."

“I pray to God the Lord, by your grace, to forgive me on this day.”

In the picture, Shi Huaiya saw scenes flashing by accompanied by someone's prayers and atonement. Some of the people in the picture were unfamiliar to her, but she recognized some of them.

"Isn't this Texas? She looks like she's wearing men's makeup?"

"The language is Syracuse? And they are all wearing suits."

But, it was clearly a very upper-class feeling, and each of these people was dressed like a successful person, but Shi Huaiya could sense the difference between them and successful people.

That kind of coldness and vague ferocity that came through the screen... Could these people be gangsters? I heard that there is a mafia in Syracuse. Could these people be them?

Just when Shi Huaiya was suspicious, a clear voice suddenly appeared in the picture. In the church, a priest named Sakota was preparing for the baptism ceremony. He spoke to Texas, who was dressed as a man:

"Michael, do you believe in God, the Father Almighty, the Creator of all things?"

"...I believe it." There was no expression on Texas' face, he just answered indifferently.

"Michael, do you renounce the devil, including all his works?"

Here, the video was briefly silent, with only Texas' voice remaining, continuing to answer with a cold and indifferent tone:

"—I renounce it."

"Jup! Jup!"

Suddenly, as Texas finished speaking, two sudden shouts, accompanied by the sound of a drum set, startled Shi Huaiya, who had been silent, and made her whole body alert.

"Ah-ah-ah-"

Following closely was the singing voice of an unknown woman. The rhythm of the whole music suddenly changed and immediately became weird.

"It gave me a fright—but it seemed quite interesting."

Shi Huaiya patted her chest to calm her heartbeat, but soon she felt the difference in this song and began to listen to this unique song with great interest.

Although it’s a bit weird, I feel inexplicably…high?

However, Shi Huaiya herself did not notice that she had been staring at the video for more than a minute without realizing it. The prelude of a song was so long that it broke the rules of many songs.

But she didn't feel bored, instead she enjoyed it. This was of course related to the rhythm of the song and the effect presented by the picture.

Now, Shi Huaiya is certain that the movie promoted by this song must be related to the mafia, but now, she finds that this song is not as violent as she thought, and it reveals a strange beauty everywhere.

What kind of song is this? What kind of movie is this? Shi Huaiya now feels that she can watch it with great anticipation!

Chapter 20: "In the Name of the Father" x "The Godfather", the combination of divine comedy and divine work!
