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

“This melody, this rhythm…maybe it’s really different from other rap.”

Although she was shocked at first, Shi Huaiya has already begun to feel the specialness of this promotional song. Nowadays, most movies have not yet promoted the concept of PV, and everyone generally still uses posters to promote their movies.

People can only judge the type of movies based on the promotional posters and the synopsis distributed by the theaters, but using a song and movie clips to help people understand the movie... is really novel.

Of course, Shi Huaiya thought that she still had to take a look at the lyrics of the song. After all, if the film crew could come up with this method to attract the audience, then the quality of the song should not be bad, right?

Shi Huaiya was unconsciously full of expectations, and soon, instead of the traditional Colombian rap, the familiar Yan Guo language rap lyrics began to slowly utter:

"Oh, the cool morning dew wets the black dress, the slate is misty and dewy, and my father is whispering."

"The helpless realization can only be more cruel. Everything is for the road to the temple."

As if to echo the lyrics, an old man in a black suit soon appeared in the video in a slightly dim room. Shi Huaiya did not know the other person, but she could feel the majesty coming from the old man, the kind of calm and inviolable aura that seemed like a king.

"You're afraid of owing me a favor, you don't consider me a friend."

The old man's voice was particularly clear. He was playing with a cat, and just talking made people feel stressed.

“This song, this actor – it’s amazing!”

"Where did the director find this actor? Is he really not a real-life mafia boss?"

Shi Huaiya couldn't help but mutter to herself, the rap of Yan Guo lyrics alone was enough to shock her. It was the first time she heard someone rap using Yan Guo's words, because compared to Colombian, it was very difficult to express a similar sense of rhythm in Yan Guo rap.

But this song... just the first few lines of the lyrics made Shi Huaiya feel that there was no sense of disobedience. Not only did they rhyme, but they were also smooth!

Combined with this picture and lines, everyone can see what the tone of this movie is.

This creator is so powerful!

"The fog that can't be blown away drowns the intention. Who walks softly and stops."

"Before I could cry, the cold bullet took away my warmth."

At this moment, the lyrics that were originally powerful suddenly became vague and uncertain, and the rap speed increased again, driving people's hearts to start singing faster:

"We are all guilty of different sins."

"I can decide who is right and who should sleep."

In the video, the old man slowly stood up, and with a quick and soft rap, his words fell clearly again:

"What have I done to make you disrespect me so much?"

"They will be my enemies too...then they will be afraid of you."

This seems to be a scene of granting shelter, right? Shi Huaiya thought so in her heart. She had vaguely guessed that this old man should be the boss of the Syracuse family with a prominent status. That kind of aura was enough to explain everything.

But...what is the identity of Texas at the beginning in this movie?

"Arguing won't solve the endless night, shutting your mouth is the only grace."

"Anyone who stands in the way is guilty, and there is no way back if you regret it."

"Judged in the name of the Father, there is no word for that feeling."

"It's like laughing and crying at the same time, staring into complete darkness, and I'm intoxicated by the tragedy that prevents it from spreading."

The scene changed, and the video showed a man being shot at a toll booth. Before Shi Huaiya could recognize who that person was, the camera turned to Texas again. A man on the phone was looking at her with horror, but half of his face was hidden in the darkness. She looked like a devil and just said lightly:

"You're going to pay for Sonny's death, Carlo."

This short sentence reveals another plot of the movie: assassination, family traitors and trial, which once again echoes the lyrics "Judge in the name of the father".

"Bend down and kiss my left hand in exchange for the promise of being forgiven."

"The old organ is in the corner, playing all the time."

"The black curtain was blown by the wind, and the sunlight penetrated silently, shining on the group of beasts that I had tamed."

"Silent shouting, silent shouting, loneliness begins to ferment..."

Now, Shi Huaiya can more or less sense that there is some connection between Texas and the old Godfather who appeared earlier in the movie, because in this verse, a person kissed the back of their hands respectively. After careful observation, Shi Huaiya found that the environment the two were in was the same.

And at the moment when the word "beast" paused, the scene suddenly shifted to a group of mafia in suits and ties. There was no doubt that they were the "beasts" driven by the two men, the "beasts" tamed by them.

"A once innocent picture, a cruel tenderness appears."

“It’s time for vulnerability, let’s pray together.”

The scene shifts to a cute girl that Shi Huaiya has never seen before, and if anyone from the crew was there, they would know that this is the wife of Mike, played by Texas, whom he met and fell in love with in Syracuse.

But the next moment, the girl's colorful figure gradually dimmed and disappeared, and slowly switched to the scene of Texas standing alone in the church.

Such a scene made Shi Huaiya's heart skip a beat. She felt that this shot had vaguely hinted that... this movie would not have a good ending.

"Merciful Father, I have fallen into the kingdom of sin where I cannot see. Please forgive my arrogance."

“Ahyayacheckitcheckitahya”

"No one can say anything, no one can talk, it's so hard to bear, behind the glory there is a loneliness engraved."

“Ahyayacheckitcheckitahya”

"This lyrics... this theme, they can all be completely matched, it's really amazing!"

Shi Huaiya's eyes began to shine at this moment. This song did not mention Syracuse, The Godfather, or the Mafia, but based on the message conveyed by the picture, Shi Huaiya immediately understood the part where the lyrics echoed the movie.

The kingdom without crime undoubtedly refers to the world of the mafia. Father, honor, loneliness... all these words describe the story of a mafia godfather and his change of heart.

Father can be father or godfather, and in this movie, obviously, these two words describe the same person. The old godfather is Texas' father in the movie.

"When I closed my eyes, I saw the scene from that dream again. The sky was covered with mist (Ahyayacheckitcheckitahya)."

"My father held my hands and walked gently along the quiet cobblestone road in the early morning (Ahyayacheckitcheckitahya)."

As this section of lyrics ends, the video once again freezes on the church, where a baby is being baptized. In the song, it seems as if a Lateran nun is chanting. Her voice is high-pitched but not abrupt, and she uses the language of Syracuse to tell the Lateran teachings.

"Mike Francis Reese, do you renounce the devil?"

Shi Huaiya, who thought it was halftime, relaxed a little. But the next moment, the answer from Mike, played by Texas, broke the silence with the more abrupt sound of gunfire!

"—I renounce it."

"Bang bang bang bang!"

Five gunshots rang out, and the image of five people being shot flashed by! Shi Huaiya, who had been traumatized by her past kidnappings, was so frightened that she almost jumped up, and cursed subconsciously:

"*Longmen swears* I was scared to death!"

"Who came up with the idea of ​​using the sound of gunfire as part of the accompaniment? It's so scary!"

But, I have to admit, the idea of ​​using firearms as part of a song is very bold, and no one has ever done it before!

However, the sound of the guns is perfectly integrated into the accompaniment without any sense of incongruity.

What kind of genius could come up with this idea? Shi Huaiya could not hide the curiosity and admiration in his eyes, and at this moment, the song had reached its end.

"Merciful Father - I have fallen into - the kingdom where sin is invisible~~"

"Please forgive me - my arrogance - is engraved with a loneliness~~"

"Merciful Father, I have fallen into the kingdom of sin and cannot see it. Please forgive my arrogance..."

The lyrics sound like a long confession and complaint, but in the video, what flashed by were many dead bodies and pools of blood, as if foreshadowing the success of revenge... and the birth of a new person who fell into darkness.

The following accelerated rap appears at the same time as the character's lines in the video, with the lines as the main part and the lyrics as the supplement, emerging in the video one sentence after another.

"Don't let others know what you're thinking (the mottled family crest was wiped overnight)."

"It took me a lifetime to learn to be careful (only the glory of loneliness can understand the feeling)."

"He is a traitor, never forget that (the candlelight keeps shaking)."

"They killed Sonny, he's dead (Owl on windowsill looking off into the distance)."

“I refuse to be manipulated by the so-called bigwigs (the long corridor leading to the lobby is also indescribably vicissitudes).”

"Look how they treat my kids (no noise, just peace and quiet)."

"We'll do it, Dad, we'll do it (I drift off to sleep, daybreak just breaking)."

"……godfather."

Finally, as Lapland gently kissed Texas's palm, the door slowly closed, as if locking all those who did not belong to this "world" out forever.

At this point, the entire video came to an end, with the final scene frozen on a list of thanks.

"Wait? It's gone?! Is that all?"

Shi Huaiya reacted belatedly and realized that this period of time had ended. She subconsciously clicked on the screen of her mobile phone and found that the song was a full six minutes long!

Six minutes is a long time for a song, but she felt like less than three minutes had passed!

"I haven't even heard enough! This movie - it's called The Godfather? It's only showing in Syracuse now?"

"Wait, this name...I think I've seen it somewhere before?"

However, when Shi Huaiya looked at the final list of thanks, she saw a very eye-catching line: "Thank you to director Chen Qi for composing the song. Welcome everyone to support the film "The Godfather" shot by the Integrated Art Troupe, which will premiere in Syracuse in a week."

"Chen Qi? Isn't that the name of Xiaota's lover?"

"And this Integrated Art Troupe, isn't that the name of their crew?!"

"Wait, that means this song was written by Chen Qi? He also filmed the movie "The Godfather" in Syracuse?!"

Shi Huaiya reacted and after a slight shock, she subconsciously glanced at the release time of the video, which was two days ago.

And now the number of views has reached more than 2 million! For the population of Longmen, this can really be said to be a huge hit! Longmen is a mobile city, how many people can have mobile phones to watch videos!

"Okay, Xiaota and Chen Qi, I helped them so much in the beginning and helped their crew take the first solid step. Now they are making a big movie and they don't want me to invest?!"

"No, I have to go find Fenchanglong and ask him to call Chen Qi and the others! I don't want to travel all the way to Syracuse to watch a movie! I just want to watch The Godfather now!"

Shi Huaiya didn't even think about it and immediately decided to tell Chen the news. She knew that Chen was related to Wei Yanwu and Tallulah, and she had the most say on this issue.

After all... the ban on "Young and Dangerous" caused a lot of unhappiness between Wei Yanwu and Tallulah. Now the fact that "The Godfather" is only shown in Syracuse is enough to explain the problem. Tallulah must be holding a grudge!

Perhaps Chen can convince Tallulah and Wei Yen-wu to put aside their past grievances and allow The Godfather to be released in Longmen?

No matter what, Shi Huaiya must see the movie within a week. She can't do this crappy job for even a day!

Chapter 21: Sir Chen promotes Chen Qi’s film

"Pink Intestine Dragon! Pink Intestine Dragon! Are you in there? Open the door quickly!"

"Can't you come in on your own? The door's not locked."

After Shi Huaiya rushed to Chen's office, she entered here following Chen's voice. Soon, her eyes were locked on the woman with blue hair and dragon horns who was working.

However, she also seemed a little tired and anxious, even worse than Shi Huaiya, and she almost didn't have the energy to quarrel.

"It's not time to get off work yet... Barbecued Cat, why are you looking for me?" Chen covered his forehead with his hands, looking weak. Seeing this, Shi Huaiya was rarely annoyed by this name, but asked curiously:

"Are you also having a headache because of the Young and Dangerous thing?"

"Because of this movie, the crime rate in Longmen has been rising in the past few months. It has only recently gotten a little better. Xingxiong and I were so busy that we almost passed out."

Chen also shook his head and said with a somewhat resentful tone: "It's fine here, but Xingxiong has to bring people to the scene several times a day, and the entire Guard Bureau is in great pain."

"In order to boost everyone's morale, I have applied to Chief Wei for a collective salary increase, which has been approved. I don't know how long I will be busy..."

Although Young and Dangerous has been banned for a while, its influence has been spreading, and the clips on the Internet and even the recorded version are still being published. It is impossible for the technical staff of the Guard Bureau to monitor it 24 hours a day and remove the relevant videos as soon as they see them, and they can't stop them from posting them all the time!

At this point, Shi Huaiya's pupils turned slightly, deliberately wanting to see Chen's reaction, and then deliberately asked: "By the way, as Tallulah's sister, what do you think about the removal of Young and Dangerous? I remember you had a big fight with Chief Wei."

"...As the senior superintendent of Longmen, I should firmly resist such films that promote crime and violence. This is my duty."

After a brief silence, Chen Zai still maintained his upright position as the senior police inspector of Longmen, and answered very rigidly:

"Even if it is a work that my sister and people she approves of have worked hard to shoot, as long as it does not conform to the values ​​of the people of Longmen, it should be banned. I have no complaints about this."

"Oh...Is that so..."

At this time, Shi Huaiya's tone suddenly became strange, with his eyebrows raised high, looking very proud, and then he said in a very teasing tone:

"Oh, that's a pity. I heard that Chen Qi and Xiao Ta were filming a new movie in Syracuse. It's a pity that it's another movie about crime. So it can't be shown in Longmen~"

"——Is there news about Xiaota and Chen Qi's new movie?!"

As expected, everything was just as Shi Huaiya expected. When Chen Qi and Tallulah heard the news, his dragon tail stood up almost immediately. He immediately turned his head to look at Shi Huaiya who had a smirk on her face, and subconsciously asked:

"But, how did you know? Xiaota didn't even tell me about this."

"You are stupid. We have already removed their movies from the shelves. Do you still expect them to come to Longmen to show the movies? Xiaota and Chen Qi must be very angry now."
