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

"...How about we wait a little longer? It's been two hours, so the movie should be over by now."

"It's rare for Duke Wei to have such a refined mood, so we should not disturb him."

"Right."

A man in black raincoat said so, and soon got the approval of several of his colleagues. Soon, several men in black raincoat retreated one after another, leaving only the man in black raincoat. After wandering around, he watched the movie on the screen silently through the tiny holes.

"These guys interrupted my movie, it's so annoying... I finally have a break, can't you let me relax during my work time?"

The man in black raincoat thought so in his heart, but what he didn't know at the moment was that the colleagues in black raincoats who had met with him once, after returning to their posts, also looked around to see that there was no one around, and secretly cast their gazes at the big screen in the hall from different positions.

They didn't dare to say that they had not paid any attention to their guarding work in the past two hours and were completely immersed in the movie that Duke Wei was watching.

I have to say... it's really good. If it wasn't for the purpose of proving that I didn't slack off and meet up so that others wouldn't find out, who would want to miss the exciting part right now?

The movie is almost over? This is an unspoken excuse. The movie has just begun the most exciting part. How can it be over in less than an hour?

However, compared to the black-capes who still remembered to report their work, at this moment, everyone in the hall was staring intently at the most exciting plot at the moment - the rivalry between the new and old godfathers, and the old godfather was finally going to pass on his true wisdom to the new godfather.

"I never thought of letting you join the family business."

"I have worked hard all my life to take care of my family, and I have a clear conscience about that."

"But I actually hoped that you could be the one pulling the strings... Senator Corleone... Governor Corleone... or something like that."

It was not until near the end of the movie that the Godfather spoke of his vision for his family, his arrangements and plans for every member of the family... and his expectations for his most beloved son.

"...Yes, it is the most difficult to clean up after falling into the dark."

However, it was only now that the Rat King finally spoke again. He silently closed his old eyes, as if the words in his heart had finally been spoken out, and he looked much more relaxed.

Yes, didn't the Rat King understand this truth? Lin Yuxia's profile had a lot of titles and honors, none of which could not be praised openly. The Rat King tried his best to make Lin Yuxia sever her relationship with the family business, and even got himself a superficial identity as a candy store manager. Wasn't it just for this?

Although he had helped Wei Yanwu in the past, even now, the Rat King had to admit that the territory he could occupy and the power he could use as the underground emperor of Longmen were getting smaller and smaller.

The only way for the family's future is to merge with Longmen and no longer have a dark side - the Rat King understood this too early, so he made such an arrangement for Lin Yuxia.

In the movie, the old godfather's words hit the mark of the Rat King, but the Rat King successfully cleared Lin Yuxia's name... It's a pity that the child in the movie still fell into this invisible abyss of sin.

At this moment, the Rat King understood the old godfather's thoughts, and couldn't help but sigh and said with emotion:

"What a pity... This is just a movie. If I knew someone like Vito Corleone in real life, I would definitely treat him as a close friend."

"dad……"

However, the words of the Rat King, as well as the words of the Godfather in the movie, finally answered a question in Lin Yuxia's mind...why her father never let her interfere in any family affairs.

Now that she had figured this out, Lin Yuxia didn't know how to face her father. She understood the Rat King's good intentions. When she thought about the strained relationship between her and her father in the past, Lin Yuxia didn't know what to say for a moment.

“…Dad, I’m sorry.”

"Yuxia, your words make Dad feel relieved."

The Rat King slowly closed his eyes, forcing himself not to burst into tears because of the sudden apology from his not-so-frank daughter - especially in front of Old Wei, otherwise he would definitely be laughed at by him for a whole year.

Now, the Rat King no longer cares about the ending of "The Godfather". He only knows that this movie speaks a lot of his inner thoughts. No, it would be better to say that this movie is simply a portrayal of his life.

From establishing a family business in Longmen to becoming the emperor of the underworld and being highly respected... Later, when he had his own family and children, he began to take care of his family wholeheartedly.

Gradually, many things were no longer his own business, and he had to find a way out for his family and children. Now that he had a family, all the glory and honors of the past only became obstacles in his attempt to prevent his children from being involved in organized crime. He just wanted to wipe out all of this.

Family. The movie "The Godfather" has always conveyed that it is not about the decent dress of the mafia, nor about how to be a godfather to be handsome and impressive.

All this is trying to express is the importance of family and family members. The Rat King understands this truth, so he can see all this.

"——Lao Wei, this movie should be shown in Longmen."

At this moment, the Rat King, who had his eyes closed, suddenly spoke, saying something that surprised the younger generations present. He said:

"I want all my people to watch this movie... so that they can understand what is most important to them after watching this movie."

"…I have no objection."

Wei Yanwu took a puff of cigarette silently, and then did not have any idea of ​​objecting. With Wen Yue's faint smile beside him, he also agreed:

"I will personally discuss the release of this movie with Chen Qi. A week later, Longmen will premiere The Godfather simultaneously with Syracuse."

"We will give the film the biggest publicity. This is not just a mafia-themed movie... This is a life movie that a man must watch."

"A man who has not seen The Godfather is not a real man - I have already thought of the promotional slogan." Wei Yanwu smiled. He did not expect that one day he would praise a movie so much, a movie that entertains the public.

"I think after watching it this time, I will go watch it again on the premiere day. The first time I watched it, I was a little confused and couldn't tell who was who. The second time I watch it, I think I will understand it better."

"Good idea. I think I'll go, too."

The Rat King also nodded. At this moment, the ending of "The Godfather" was no longer important, because the two most powerful people in Longmen had already tasted the ideas that touched their hearts the most from the movie.

"This time, I have to write a film review myself seriously..." The Rat King muttered to himself. The Rat King had never posted a film review before, especially since Chen Qi was a guy he didn't like very much. But now, he had to admit that Chen Qi's talent moved even an old man like him.

"Just think of it as a little encouragement to the younger generation. In the future, let him shoot more of these good films, and shoot fewer films that are meaningless and full of fighting and killing."

……

At the same time, in a hotel in Syracuse, Chen Qi, who had just gotten up from the bed, suddenly heard a female voice of the system in his head.

[Congratulations to the host, the movie "The Godfather" has received attention and recognition from influential people, including Wei Yanwu, Rat King, Lin Yuxia, Chen Huijie, Xing Xiong, Shi Huaiya, Madame Sicily...]

[Settlement reputation value: 37800; Host's total reputation: 52314]

[Currently, the settlement is only for influential figures in Syracuse and Longmen. After the movie is released, the public reputation will be settled separately. In addition, during this period, other influential figures who pay attention to and recognize the host movie will be settled separately according to their identities and influence.]

"——What's wrong? Why are you so happy all of a sudden?"

At this moment, Tallulah, who had just put on her clothes, also noticed that Chen Qi's mouth was crooked and almost reached his ears. However, Chen Qi couldn't wait to kiss Tallulah and immediately replied:

"Sister Tazi, our movie can be shown in Longmen! I can guarantee it! And our movie will definitely be a hit! Whether in Syracuse or Longmen!"

"Oh? But the problem is... hasn't that guy Wei Lao Er called to agree yet?"

Tallulah was also surprised by Chen Qi's sudden joy. Although she also felt that "The Godfather" would definitely be a hit in Syracuse, but... in Longmen, everyone there must be familiar with the mafia culture, right?

And could Wei Yanwu really let them pass the trial so easily? When Tallulah was suspicious, suddenly, Chen Qi's mobile phone placed on the bedside rang. Tallulah picked it up subconsciously, but immediately found that the caller was Wei Yanwu himself.

"It's true... Hey? Chen Qi, where are you going?"

"As for me, everyone has been busy for so long. I will go get you some more medicine to suppress mineral sickness! As a reward for your hard work!"

Of course, Chen Qi did not forget what he needed most in exchange now, which was to quickly deliver more mineral sickness inhibitors so that everyone in the art troupe could use them!

This time he could use it with confidence. He only had to wait for a week for their movie to be a huge success, and then he could earn more reputation points and redeem them for the extremely expensive potion that could cure oripathy.

Chapter 24: The big boss? Tracy's attention?

"It's a hit! Brother Chen Qi! Sister Tallulah! Our movie is a hit!"

A week later, The Godfather premiered simultaneously in Syracuse and Longmen. However, compared to the people in the art troupe who were anxiously waiting for a good response to The Godfather, Chen Qi had more things to do.

Although it is not difficult to find the system to redeem some oripathy inhibitors, it is hard not to attract everyone's attention and suspicion when so many oripathy inhibitors appear out of nowhere in Syracuse.

The last time Frost Star broke out was because of the situation in Lungmen. Although it was difficult to get the mineral disease inhibitor in Lungmen, at least it was possible to find it - but here in Syracuse, it was not so easy to get these things, because the family did not care much about whether the people under its rule were infected or not.

Moreover, even if the family could obtain these things, there are not many places in Syracuse that are affected by the mineral disease, and most of the family members are not infected. The mineral disease inhibitors will not bring any huge profits to Syracuse...

During this period, Chen Qi has been asking Lady Sicily to help him purchase inhibitors of oripathy in the surrounding mobile cities - of course, they are some relatively common ones. The crew will never have too much of these things, so they can be given to some members of the crew who are not highly infected.

As for the high-concentration inhibitors provided by the system, with the help of Mrs. Sicily, Chen Qi can openly distribute the high-concentration inhibitors to several members with more serious oripathy infection.

For example, Patriot, Frost Star, Mephisto, Faust... These cadres whom Chen Qi values ​​very much, their infection levels are actually the most serious, but they do not want to accept special treatment from Chen Qi and insist on being the same as everyone else - Chen Qi respects their choices, but will still favor them when they are not paying attention.

As for the money to purchase these drugs, Mrs. Sicily symbolically collected some money from the mobilization of family members, saying, "You are willing to use the movie "The Godfather" to promote our Syracuse culture and make the people of Syracuse feel more strongly about the family. The benefits of this movie to Syracuse in the future should be more far-reaching."

"This is a huge favor. This little favor is not enough to repay you. If you need help from the family in the future, please just ask. The Sicily family and the twelve families of Syracuse will all give you generous help."

Mrs. Sicily made this promise to Chen Qi, and Chen Qi did not expect that by letting Mrs. Sicily star in "The Godfather" and paying almost no price, he gained such a great friendship from her.

Of course, he was also very sensible and didn't ask for too much, but only asked for enough inhibitors for everyone in the crew, and promised to pay double the "mobilization fee" with the box office.

Soon, Chen Qi, who was busy with these things, forgot about going to the premiere - but now, a few days have passed since the premiere, and Mephisto, who is responsible for supervising and investigating the release of "The Godfather", has brought good news at this time.

"Brother Chen Qi! Our Godfather has received unanimous praise! Our premieres in Syracuse and Longmen were both great successes!"

Mephisto looked very funny when he was dancing, but it had been a long time since he had been so energetic. After injecting the inhibitor given to him by Chen Qi, he seemed to have recovered his energy and said excitedly:

"Faust and I have collected the film reviews from this period! All the good reviews of Syracuse and Longmen are here! Our box office data is also unprecedentedly high! It is enough for us to pay Lady Sicily for her help, and also to give dividends to other families!"

Having said this, Mephisto handed Chen Qi the box office data he had sorted out a long time ago. After Chen Qi looked at the data and confirmed that it was correct, Mephisto handed his phone to Chen Qi and continued excitedly:

"Here are the reviews for our movie. I've sorted them by the number of likes. Brother Chen Qi, we really succeeded this time!"

Chen Qi took the phone and soon saw several very familiar IDs - it seems that the influential people in this world are very serious when posting film reviews.

Exia: "So cool! Especially the editing at the end! Director Chen Qi's technique is really amazing! Mike is being baptized in the church, while ruthless killings are taking place on the other side! How did Director Chen Qi come up with such a contrast and editing?! I will take the movie to Rutland and let my sisters watch it with me! (Five stars)"

Croissant: "It's my first time acting in a drama. Hehe, I feel like I did a pretty good job. Should I expand my business? In the future, any crew that wants a role as a businessman can look for me! But I will never play a drug lord again. No matter what I sell, I can never sell my conscience. (Five-star rating)"

Lapland: "Thank you Director Chen Qi for giving me this opportunity to kill the person I want to kill the most. I have finally achieved my wish. I will give you five stars. (Five-star praise)"

Oh, it’s these three funny guys again. Chen Qi took a look at the reviews of Exia, Croissant and Lapland, and felt fortunate that he had invited them to play several roles this time - however, the climax was yet to come, so Chen Qi continued watching.

Kong: "I am fortunate to work with Director Chen Qi. This time I played the role of 'Kai' in the movie. My most profound feeling, in addition to the experience of Director Chen Qi's pursuit of real response, is that I feel more deeply about the role of a lonely godfather."

"A man who originally wanted to draw a clear line with his family ended up repeating the same mistakes because he cherished his family. Faced with the successive departures of his loved ones, he had no choice but to become cold-blooded and even deceive his beloved woman."

"This is a pitiful story, and this is a pitiful character. Perhaps, for a character living in the shadows like this, wanting happiness is a luxury. (Rating five stars)"

Texas: "Endless disputes will only bring endless pain. Families will be consumed by internal struggles. Such Syracuse will never be able to make progress and will only become a victim of civilization."

"Even if a family leader as perfect as Michael Corleone is in Colombia, even if his father is as enlightened and wise as the Godfather, as long as he is involved with the family, he will become part of this dispute - this future must change. If Syracuse cannot adapt to civilization, then civilization will inevitably change Syracuse in a more tragic way. (Five-star rating)"

Siye: "Although the film somewhat glorifies the family, I have to admire Director Chen Qi's balance in this measure, as well as his exposure and depiction of the dark side of the family."

"Too many family members have watched too many movies and dramas, and they all think they are really those glamorous movie characters, but they forget that they are not the Godfather, they are more likely to be characters like Carlo and Paulie... and even the eldest brother Sonny died like an ant in the family dispute, which was worthless. (Rating five stars)"

Denouncement: "Although the film is set in Colombia, it still reminds me of Syracuse... In Syracuse today, even the lowest-level law enforcement officers can't make family members accept punishment in the daytime world. If such a future comes, and the family still can't change... then the conflict of civilizations will inevitably cause a lot of blood and casualties."

"The law must be upheld, and the family's rules must be enforced under the constraints of the law. This is the inevitable future, whether the family accepts it or not. (Rating five stars)"

It seems that their leading actors, several future stars of Syracuse, have obviously gained a deeper understanding of the movie "The Godfather".

But Chen Qi knew that these people's film reviews were not even the ones that made him have the highest reputation. Through his own system, Chen Qi quickly locked the comments on a few real heavyweights, who could shake the earth with just a stomp of their feet.

Lady Sicily: "The family's philosophy may be outdated. The future should be handed over to the next generation to govern. Where Syracuse will go, whether it will survive or perish, is no longer something the older generation can influence."

Rat King: "This is the third time I've watched this movie... This time I'm with my wife and daughter. Every time I watch it, I have new feelings. But no matter how I look at it, the idea that this movie wants to convey most is not just not to get involved in the underworld, but more importantly, I hope everyone can learn the best tradition of the Syracusans - caring for family and family members."

"Even though all the members of the Corleone family are not good people in today's society, the reason why we like these characters, in addition to the perspective of the movie and some beautification, is that what we value more is the 'human touch' they convey, which is generally recognized by everyone in Yan Country."

Wei Yanwu: "A man's bible, every man should watch The Godfather. It contains many qualities that some men today lack... The cherishment and sense of responsibility for family and family members are what all men should learn."

"Although it is still a movie about crime, if people can learn from it the dignity and responsibility that a man should have, then it is also a good movie worthy of praise."

"——Commander Wei Yanwu actually boasted about our movie so much. It looks like it was a huge success this time."

Chen Qi was a little surprised that the release of "The Godfather" not only won the recognition of everyone in Syracuse, but also received such high praise from Longmen.

Chen Qi subconsciously activated the system and looked at the data on the influence of Syracuse and Longmen on the movie "The Godfather". He was surprised to find that the reputation value contributed by Longmen, a mobile city, was not much different from that contributed by the entire Syracuse...

"It seems that no one doesn't like thugs in suits." Chen Qi also smiled. He knew that with the success of "The Godfather", their crew was finally on the right track!

[Congratulations, host. Your movie has expanded its influence again and has gained the attention of influential people in another area besides Syracuse and Longmen.]

"Hmm? Outside Syracuse and Longmen?" The system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, which made Chen Qi slightly stunned. He quickly asked in his mind:

"Where exactly?"

[Searching for new areas to follow the influential figures of the host movie - locked. 】

[Region displayed: Victoria; Characters paying attention to the host movie: Tracys, who is the regent of Kazdel, the ruler of Victoria, and has a very high influence. ]

"…What? Tracy?"

Chen Qi was slightly stunned when he heard the name. He never thought that he could get the other party's attention - did he just casually open the name and encounter a big BOSS?

Chapter 25: Recommended Professional Team? Tracy's Thoughts

As for why Tracy of Victoria, the regent of Kazdel and a puppet of the old and powerful country Victoria, would pay attention to Chen Qi's crew filming in Syracuse, the story starts from the day after "The Godfather" was released in Syracuse.

In Londinium, the capital of Victoria, Tracys was just like any other day, troubled by the political issues between Kazdel and Victoria. It was a very ordinary day for him until his disciple, General Manfred, who was now the general of the Kazdel Military Committee and whom he promoted, found him.

"...General. Are you worried about government affairs today as well?"

"Manfred." Tresis looked at the young Sarkaz general in front of him, whom he had promoted. Although the expression on his face did not change at all, his tone was slightly more relaxed, because he knew that one of the Sarkaz he could trust most in Londinium was Manfred.

"General, as you requested, we have now subdued Victoria's Parliamentary Guards and taken control of 70% of the city's defense forces. Now, Londinium is in our control."
