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

After Lin Qingyan conveyed the instructions, Chen Huijie, who was accompanying him this time, also looked at Chen Qi with a somewhat worried expression and asked, "You don't really want to film the kind of secret story of Dayan that could easily get you beheaded, do you?"

"Wait... Let's not talk about the fact that I don't plan to film this kind of story. Huijie, why do you think I know what's going on in the palace?"

"Hmm? Don't you always know everything? You can tell everything about a country after just a few days of visiting it."

However, Chen Huijie's words actually stopped Chen Qi. Chen Qi looked at the reactions of everyone around him. Not only Nian and Xi, but even Tallulah and Kal'tsit seemed to agree with them.

Facing everyone's expressions that said "If you don't do something big, then there will be something wrong", Chen Qi waved his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, I admit that the subject matter I want to shoot this time is indeed related to the Great Yan Royal Family, and it also involves some palace secrets."

"Sure enough." Chen Huijie smiled slowly when she saw that she had guessed it right, but then she remembered something and frowned and asked, "That's not right. If that's the case, you've done similar things in Victoria before. Why are you so serious this time?"

"…Because this time, the work I want to shoot involves the emperor, officials, and common people. The Great Yan emperor in my work is not a wise ruler, and the Great Yan under this ruler is not a prosperous era."

However, after Chen Qi told everyone present the theme of the work he wanted to shoot, what he received in return was a long silence... At this moment, everyone present was shocked by Chen Qi's bold statement and was speechless.

Even Lin Qingyan, who was delivering the oral instructions, couldn't help swallowing his saliva. After a long while, he asked with some fear:

"... Is this work of Marquis Liewen meant to satirize the emperor?"

"This depends on how you understand it. Anyway, if I don't have the emperor's permission to produce this kind of work, the crimes listed on me would be enough to get me killed several times over." Chen Qi also waved his hand. This was why he had used "Tathagata Palm" to exchange for the emperor's permission this time.

"This is a work with a tyrant, loyal ministers, treacherous ministers, and even the emperor's mind. Please tell His Majesty the Emperor in time that I need a lot of 'professionals' for this film, so I may borrow some officials to complete this work."

"As for the emperor in this work... it would be great if His Majesty is willing to come in person, but if he is not willing, he can also choose someone to play the role of this tyrant - of course, the premise is that His Majesty the Emperor agrees."

"For more details, please let us talk to His Majesty the Emperor in person when we get to the Imperial City."

"...I think that Your Majesty would certainly not be willing to 'lend' the dragon robe to anyone, let alone lend the throne to anyone to sit on." Lin Qingyan was silent for a while. Whether it was letting someone else play the emperor, or the emperor himself, it seemed to be inappropriate...

No, it would be better to say that in Da Yan, someone dared to discuss state affairs and even dared to film it. This kind of thing is already a taboo, and it is not enough to kill all nine generations of the family. But Chen Qi actually discussed how to film it seriously here, and even His Majesty really agreed...

But there is no other way. He has to take the Tathagata Palm. Compared to this secret book which may become a "national defense magic" in the future, His Majesty has obviously decided to set this precedent.

It doesn't matter. I'm just a messenger. His Majesty has agreed. What can she say? Anyway, she won't get involved... It's not long since she was demoted. Chen Qi is so bold. It's better not to splash her blood again.

"Marquis Liewen, I have delivered the imperial edict. I will take my leave now."

"When you finish shooting this movie, please send someone to deliver the videotape to the Imperial City."

"Don't worry, I think the film will be finished soon." Chen Qi also nodded. The group watched Lin Qingyan flee the scene seemingly indifferently but in fact in a panic, as if he was afraid of being involved with Chen Qi.

After watching Lin Qingyan leave, Tallulah and Chen Huijie walked to Chen Qi's side. At this time, Chen Huijie said to Chen Qi quietly:

"… You are amazing. When Old Wei meets an official sent by the court, he has to bow, but you scared the official sent by the court so much that he rolled over and scrambled."

"So, have you made up your mind? Are you not afraid of offending people?"

"Even the emperor has agreed, who should I offend? Besides, it seems like I have offended fewer people." Chen Qi shrugged his shoulders, then looked at Chen Huijie beside him, and then thought of something else, and couldn't help asking:

"Don't you need to go back to Longmen?"

"I asked Lao Wei for leave and came out for a few days. What's the matter? Do you think I'm ruining your and Xiaota's world of two?"

"That's not the case, but I plan to work with a few old friends from Longmen in this production and have them play some of the roles. I wanted you to tell Lao Wei and the others about this in advance."

As he spoke, Chen Qi also walked to the side and started to take out a piece of paper to write. Tallulah and others came over, only to find that Chen Qi had arranged the names in two rows and wrote Wei Yanwu's name on the first row.

"...Chen Qi, you're not planning to let Lao Wei play the emperor in your work, are you?"

At this moment, even Tallulah was shocked by Chen Qi's arrangement. She knew Chen Qi too well. Chen Qi liked to cast those who could handle the roles well. His next work included the role of "Emperor", and among them, the only person closest to the position of emperor was Wei Yanwu.

"It's just an idea. I want Huijie to say hello to everyone in advance. There are a few roles that I'm afraid the ministers in the court are not willing to play. We can only ask old friends."

After Chen Qi wrote down a row of names and the roles they were going to play, he handed the paper to Chen Huijie and said with a smile:

"I have also arranged a role for you, Huijie. If you want, I would like to give you the best positive role in this work."

"Me? You're planning to let me participate as well?"

Chen Huijie was also very surprised, but when she heard that the role she was going to play was the most positive image in this work, Chen Huijie did not refuse. Instead, she was already curious about her identity in this drama. Was she a loyal minister or a wise minister?

However, after Chen Huijie cast his eyes on the list, he quickly locked onto his own name, and subconsciously muttered to himself:

"Hai Rui? It sounds like a man's name."

"Trust me, you might like this name later, just like after I told you about the role that Lao Wei was going to play, His Majesty the Emperor might actually give him the role."

Chen Qi also smiled slowly. He was quite confident about this casting. However, at the moment, he still needed to finish the movie "The Return of the Witch King" before he could proceed with the next plan.

The Emperor of Dayan was waiting for his movie to debate with the officials, and the Gemini Queens were also waiting for his movie to wipe out the remnants of the Witch King. This time, Chen Qi would give them a satisfactory answer.

Chapter 258: "The Witch King is Back" premiere! A real Witch King!

One month after Lin Qingyan left, Chen Qi and others had already determined the location of their next stop, and the premise of going to Yan Country was completely declared complete today.

In the movie "Return of the Witch King", when Black Key and White Crescent have penetrated deep into the remnants of the Witch King, and the Witch King played by Black Key has begun to have some influence in this group, and some people even regard him as the "successor to the Witch King's will", the filming is finally announced to be over within Chen Qi's crew.

During this process, Black Key was never suspected by the Witch King's remnants of his gang as a spy or a secret agent sent by the Gemini Queens. This was thanks to Chen Qi's design in the movie "The Witch King is Back".

"...In the movie "The Return of the Witch King", filming "The Return of the Witch King" makes the remnants of the Witch King think that they are filming a movie with the Black Keys for future publicity. This move is really unexpected."

"They even planned to publish a book about this, so that the remnants of the Witch King would think that the movie would be adapted from the book. Count Utica even played a role in the movie again."

In the high tower, the Gemini Queens looked at the information that was now sent up through the "Voice of the Queen" and couldn't help but be surprised at Chen Qi's imagination... Under his arrangement, the remnant of the Witch King was really fooled by him and Black Key, and even helped count the money after being sold out.

However, even if the remnants of the Witch King knew that Chen Qi had plotted against them, they would not do anything. On the one hand, Chen Qi's crew was too powerful, and they knew that they could not afford to offend such a person.

On the other hand, what the remnants of the Witch King need is the success of the film "The Return of the Witch King" to expand their influence. For them, as long as the film "The Return of the Witch King" is released and the people of Leithnia get to know the Witch King again, they will have achieved great success.

"It's a pity that they won't be able to see this movie being released. There are no movies for them to entertain themselves in the prison of Leithania." The black-haired queen said in a hoarse voice. Looking at the names on the list collected by the spies in her hands, she smiled for the first time in a long time.

The names on this list include people they have long known to be in collusion with the remnants of the Witch King, some they suspect but have no evidence, and... some people they don't even know, all of whom had contact with Black Key during the time he played the Witch King.

Even some of them were emperors and dukes. Now the evidence is irrefutable, and there are even many videos and audio recordings. In the face of such ironclad evidence, even those emperors and dukes would not be able to deny it and would have to plead guilty.

"Then, immediately issue an order to capture these remnants of the Witch King. While they are still in the dark and deceived by Count Utica and have not moved their positions, have the city defense forces and spies destroy these headquarters."

"That's right." The white-haired queen nodded, and at this moment, the spy who was responsible for handing over the information to the twin queens suddenly spoke:

"My two queens, Director Chen Qi had something to say before handing these materials to my subordinates."

"Oh?" The twin queens who were about to give an order also paused after hearing it. They only heard the spy convey Chen Qi's words respectfully, saying:

"Director Chen Qi asks the two queens to wait until the movie premieres before making a decision. Maybe after watching the movie, the two queens will change their minds and think more carefully about what to do next."

"My dear queens, there is only one hour left before the premiere of the movie. I feel that Director Chen Qi is not an alarmist. Since he has helped the two queens so much, he must have his own intentions when he says this now."

"…If that's the case, that's fine."

After the twin queens exchanged glances, they were probably still wary of Chen Qi. They had spent so much effort but still had no way to root out the remnants of the Witch King, but Chen Qi used a method to make them show their heads.

And now the influence of the Black Keys is indeed a bit too great... Now the Gemini Queens are worried whether they can control the Black Keys. Therefore, Chen Qi’s attitude is very important. If he doesn’t care about anything after filming the movie and just leaves, no one knows whether he will leave them a good situation or a big mess?

At present, it is better to listen to Chen Qi and wait until the situation in Leithania stabilizes before considering sending this great god away. They took a great risk to ask Chen Qi to solve the problem. If they don't catch him, wouldn't it be a waste?

At the same time, the movie "The Return of the Witch King" was not only in Leithania, but also in Longmen, Victoria, Syracuse and other countries. Chen Qi also sent people to obtain the premiere rights early.

And I heard that this time Chen Qi took a big move and actually filmed a film about the controversial figure of the Witch King. It was the only one in all of Terra... Although Chen Qi had done many unique things, some characters were naturally topical and attractive.

Therefore, when the movie "The Return of the Witch King" was announced to be released in various countries one after another, even in the relatively backward Terra continent in terms of information dissemination, the name "The Witch King" still resounded throughout the countries, and movie tickets were sold out!

However, in the Great Yan Palace, a rather magical scene appeared... In the West Palace of the palace, all the officials of Great Yan gathered together and sat neatly on chairs in the palace, as if they were watching a movie in an open-air cinema.

Now, the Great Yan Emperor was sitting with all the officials. He looked quite calm, as if he was drinking tea and listening to an opera. However, in fact, he was a little entangled in his heart...

Indeed, after the Emperor of Dayan took over the peerless secret book "Rulai Shen Zhang", he decided to invite Chen Qi to Dayan to shoot what he called a "shocking" work. He had accepted the gift and did not want to return "Rulai Shen Zhang". Otherwise, he would be heartbroken if people from other countries bought it, so he had to shoot it no matter what.

However, ever since Lin Qingyan came back and conveyed to the emperor that the work Chen Qi was going to shoot this time might be related to the royal family and court of Dayan, the emperor of Dayan became hesitant again.

Especially, the "emperor" that Chen Qi was going to film was said to be a tyrant. The Great Yan Emperor felt even more uneasy... He immediately thought that Chen Qi had laid such a long foundation just to film a work about a tyrant, could it be used to satirize him?

The Great Yan Emperor was quite confident in himself. He thought that he might not be as good as the previous emperor and could not be considered a sage, but he worked diligently and cautiously as an emperor. Although he was not a wise emperor, he should not be considered a tyrant, right? Was it necessary for Chen Qi to mock him like this?

Or is it to use the past to criticize the present? That is not right. If we go back to the Great Yan Dynasty... at that time, it was still under the dark cloud of the giant beast. If there were no wise kings from generation to generation, how could the previous emperor have the foundation to fight against the giant beast with the whole country's strength?

The Great Yan Emperor couldn't figure it out, and he couldn't figure it out any more when he thought of this "tyrant". Originally, all the officials strongly opposed setting this precedent, and he even debated with them. Now, he was a little unconfident, and was really afraid of being scolded by Chen Qi...

But the words have been spoken, how can a real dragon take them back? At worst... I won't play the role of the tyrant, and let someone else play it!

"Director Chen Qi, please don't drop a bombshell on me... I didn't provoke you, and I don't plan to be the emperor. But if I am given the title of a tyrant that you have ridiculed... I will be infamous for eternity."

The Great Yan Emperor thought so in his heart, and did not forget to signal the officials of the Supervisory Department to start playing the movie. With the illumination of the projector, the movie "The Witch King is Back" finally opened...

The movie opens with a monologue. At this moment, when the dignitaries of various countries heard the voice, they couldn't help but tremble all over and said subconsciously:

"I didn't expect that after all these years... I could still hear that guy's voice... The Witch King."

"This old guy's voice makes me cringe. How did he do that? Is it a synthetic voice?"

"Synthetic voices can't be that natural, right? It's as if the Witch King is really speaking."

However, while the dignitaries of various countries were muttering to themselves, in various parts of Leithania today, the remnants of the Witch King were lurking in various movie theaters, watching the movie "The Return of the Witch King" under disguise. The moment they heard the voice of the Witch King, many of them showed excitement.

"Although I've seen that person before...I still feel so surprised every time I hear him."

"I think he is the Witch King who has returned! At the very least, he is possessed by the Witch King's spirit!"

"Shh, Lord Witch King's movie, he's talking, shut up!"

The Witch King's fans were also watching the movie shot by the "Witch King" with bated breath. In the movie, the Witch King played by Black Key slowly said:

“I really tried my best – the enemy has desecrated this land and destroyed the foundations of life.”

"In principle, the pure Leitanian people should no longer exist, but now I realize that it still exists... and I am here too."

As the words fell, the next moment, the pupils of Black Key on the screen suddenly opened, revealing his blood-red eyes that made many people tremble with fear. As the camera zoomed out, the full appearance of the Witch King once again appeared in front of everyone.

It looks exactly like him! At this moment, many people who have seen the Witch King are surprised at how he can be restored to his original appearance. All the information about him should have been destroyed, so why can he be restored to his original appearance?

Most of the audience, even some young people in Leithania, looked at this notorious tyrant with some curiosity. The title of the Witch King resounded throughout the land. Everyone knew that he formed an army alone and tore apart the Gallic vanguard, establishing his position as "Terra's strongest warlock", but most people did not know much about him other than that.

"Is this the Witch King? He doesn't look that evil...?"

"Isn't it said that he is an infected person covered with Originium? But now it seems that his infection level is not high."

"The half of his face that was revealed didn't seem too old? And he didn't look that fierce, either?"

However, amid the whispers of the audience, even many young Leithanians who were born later felt that this Witch King seemed to be somewhat different from what they imagined?

Where is the strongest warlock? Where is the tyrant? It seems that except for the slightly weird horns and the more majestic clothes, he is not as scary as they said?

This is due to the fact that after the Gemini Queens came to power, they destroyed a large amount of information about the Witch King, intending to use this method of "erasing history" to make the people gradually forget the Witch King. After the Gemini Queens came to power, their strategy for Letania was to let those who had experienced it remember the tyranny and cruelty of the Witch King, and when all those who had experienced it died, the next generation would slowly forget the existence of the Witch King.

Such a strategy was actually very effective. Under such a policy, the older generation kept silent about the Witch King. The remnants of the Witch King were executed one after another, leaving no chance for any Witch King forces to rise. In just twenty years, not many of the younger generation knew about the Witch King.

The young Leitanian who had been expecting to see the return of a brutal tyrant did not see the tyrant as expected. In the movie, the Witch King's voice once again slowly stated:

"The twin sisters seem to have stopped? Above me... I can't see the tower or any enemies, and I can't hear the music from the Originium Arts."

"Except for being alive, everything else is not good... The emperors caught me off guard, and I was hit by the Originium skills of the traitorous twin sisters. I am weak all over now, and I can't even use a single Originium skill."

In the movie, the Witch King played by Black Keys slowly stood up, a football slowly rolled down beside him, and then the voices of children were heard.

However, the first words spoken by the children made many viewers suddenly nervous.

"Who is this homeless guy?"

However, as soon as the child said this, many viewers sensed the danger - for no other reason than that the Witch King was notorious for his cruelty. Everyone on this land knew that the Witch King was a devil, more vicious and cruel than the worst Sarkaz, and an out-and-out tyrant.

And calling a tyrant a "vagrant" made everyone believe that it would be easy for the Witch King to kill a few children, even if the tyrant was so weak that he couldn't even use his Originium skills.

However, when everyone held their breath and noticed that the Witch King in the movie cast his eyes on the three children, thinking that the children were about to die, the Witch King's voice echoed at this moment:

“——Young people, they are the future.”

In the movie, the Witch King's eyes seemed to light up, and he didn't even care about the insult from the child. After seeing the child, he was extremely happy and proud and said:

"The children seemed to be silent, which was understandable, as this was an unusual life turn for a minor - they met their king in person!"

...Wait, is there something wrong with this Witch King?

However, the audience who didn't know the truth was also confused, and they found it incredible that the Witch King didn't show any signs of anger. Where is the tyrant and madman? It seems that he is not a madman, but a king who seems to be quite wise.

The audience began to realize something was wrong, and at this moment in Leithania, many people who had experienced that era, some who had seen the Witch King or even talked with the Witch King, all realized that this movie was not a movie that discredited the Witch King!

This movie restores a real Witch King, not the Witch King promoted by the Gemini Queens, who has no other information except the labels of tyrant and madman!

"A true wizard king...is beginning to come into the public eye."

At this moment, the twin queens could not help swallowing their saliva. They were watching the "Witch King" in the movie in their own palace. They realized that all their efforts in the past twenty years to make the people hate and forget the Witch King might be wasted today...

Chapter 259: The Witch King's Sharp Comments on Leitania, the Anxiety of the Officials of Da Yan

"Wait, is this really the Witch King? Where is the tyrant? Why does he seem not crazy?"
