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

"Bernard, how about our Prime Minister also serving as First Chancellor of the Exchequer?"

"——He's already fast asleep."

Along with the answer from the man named Bernard on TV, a burst of laughter came out at a very timely moment. This was the first time that old Bill heard laughter on TV, but he got used to it after being surprised.

"Berner, we are in trouble." And on TV, Humphrey, played by the Blood Demon Lord, also said.

Manfred: “Who has?”

Blood Demon Lord: "You, me, and all of Victoria, the key is the Prime Minister's damn new defense concept - no more production of new steam knights, conscription, all garbage!"

"Ah... a grand blueprint." Manfred understood what Lord Blood Demon meant, and Lord Blood Demon replied unhappily: "That's what he said."

However, Manfred was obviously loyal to Theresis, so he also defended his prime minister and said: "But if this can save money and reduce unemployment..."

"-Berna, what is the purpose of our national defense policy?" At this moment, the Blood Demon Lord suddenly changed the subject and asked this question.

"To defend Victoria?" Manfred answered automatically.

"No, Bernard—to convince people that Victoria is protected."

The Blood Demon Lord's sudden eloquence also caused another round of laughter, and this time, it was not only the voices in the TV who were laughing, but also Old Bill and his wife.

"…Let the Ursus people?"

"Not Ursus, but Victoria!" The Blood Demon Lord immediately corrected, saying seriously and loudly:

"The Ursus know we can't do it."

However, the righteous words of the Blood Demon Lord on TV, which shamelessly said words that undermined the government's credibility, had the effect of making things that everyone knew well known to everyone clear, causing a hilarious reaction.

At this moment, Old Bill and his wife, who had watched it for who knows how many times, burst into laughter. Old Bill laughed heartily for the first time in a long time - because the government of his country was being made fun of.

"Hahahaha! That's right, that's right! The people of Victoria know that they are not protected, otherwise Londinium would not have been taken over by these demons."

Old Bill laughed out his suppressed dissatisfaction, and beside him, his wife asked with a smug expression:

"How about this TV series? Is it good?"

"——It's good. I like to watch anything that makes fun of our rubbish government."

"It's just that...Will a TV series that mocks the government like this really not be banned?"

“…Forget it, now that it’s aired, I’ll just watch it to my heart’s content.”

Old Bill nodded when he heard this. The long-lost laugh made him feel much better. From then on, Londinium had another loyal fan of "Yes, Prime Minister".

Such scenes were also being played out in the Lontinim families, whose news was now controlled by the Sarkaz. For a while, almost every family with a TV was watching this novel TV series. Several families even got together just to watch this TV series that dared to openly satirize the Victorian government.

……

At the same time, in the sewers of Londinium, the gangs that now call themselves the "Lentinium Citizens Self-Rescue Army" are also hiding in the dim basement.

However, on this day, they did not discuss any strike or riot actions. Almost all the members present gathered in front of the only TV and watched the TV series "Yes, Prime Minister".

"...Alede, do you think this is a conspiracy by Tracy?"

At this moment, everyone's eyes were focused on a white-haired film woman who exuded the unique charm of a mature woman. Obviously, she was the leader of the self-rescue army.

At this moment, Aledae, the daughter of a duke born into an aristocratic family, was silent about everything played in "Yes, Prime Minister". She did not laugh, but her face was heavy, because as the daughter of a duke, she felt how much impact this TV series would have on Londinium.

Londinium's city defense and all information communications have now been taken over by the Sarkaz. The residents here are extremely disappointed with the Victorian government. At this time, a TV series that uses comedy as a cover but is actually a satire on the Victorian government's inaction and mistakes will inevitably subtly undermine Londinium's last bit of trust in Victoria.

But what made Aledei even more angry was that the satire in this TV series was really correct! This was the problem and drawback of the Victorian government!

Of course, if it were peacetime, Aleda would like this TV show very much, but at the moment, this TV show would definitely pour cold water on the already low morale of the self-rescue army. At the moment, she also insisted:

"This is of course a plot by the Prince Regent to discredit Victoria using the false accusations in this TV series!"

"*Victorian curse*! It must have been Tracys who did it!"

This time, Aledae was really a little anxious. She was the daughter of the Duke, and she would never lose her composure no matter what difficulties she faced. But this time, she was anxious about a TV series.

Because she felt the power of public opinion... which was subtly making their chances of winning smaller and smaller. When the TV series continued to be broadcast... would the residents of Londinium still support their self-rescue army?

The more she thought about it, the more panicked Aledea became, and then the more she resented Tracy - and the people who made this TV series!

Don't let her find that guy! Otherwise, she will definitely give that bastard who made this TV series a head-on blow!

Chapter 36: Tracy: Director Chen Qi's brain is as powerful as a thousand troops!

"Yes, Prime Minister" became a hit.

Now that the Sarkaz Legion has taken over the information and city defense of Londinium, and Tracy has cut off almost all ways to spread the news, "Yes, Prime Minister" has suddenly broken the boring TV programs in Londinium and become the best TV series known to every household in Londinium!

Although only two episodes have been aired, "Yes, Prime Minister" has obviously won unanimous praise from the residents of Londinium who have been lacking spiritual entertainment and have been suppressing their emotions for a long time.

In addition, Tracy saw the potential of this TV series and now controls all information dissemination in Londinium. The first two episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister" were rebroadcast every two hours during this week, ensuring that every TV in Londinium would play it in their spare time and every resident of Londinium could see it.

Chen Qi was so grateful for Tracy's "generous" assistance - with such support from Tracy, Chen Qi's reputation value soared.

In just two episodes, it is almost catching up with half of the reputation value of Syracuse's "The Godfather" when it premiered, and according to the system's judgment, TV series are calculated based on the reputation value of each episode.

In other words, Chen Qi's current reputation is that Tracys is promoting it throughout Londinium, and every episode of his TV series can be watched by all the residents of Londinium, and several times.

Even Chen Qi didn't need to promote it, Tracy used his own method of monopolizing information to spread it. And not only that, Chen Qi also heard that Tracy planned to let all Sarkaz members above the rank of thousand captain in Londinium see "Yes, Prime Minister".

It can be said that Tracy’s idea perfectly fits Chen Qi’s system requirement of “attention from influential people”!

Although the reputation of a Sarkaz Thousand Captain might not be that high, you have to know that the elites of the Sarkaz in the entire Londinium watch his TV series, and every time a new episode is broadcast, he can definitely get such a stable reputation income...

——Suddenly, Chen Qi felt like he had his own army of pirates. He suddenly understood the feelings of those directors who used to like to make bad movies.

"*Yan Country's National Essence*, no wonder those directors and screenwriters only shoot crappy dramas. It feels like they can make money no matter what they shoot..."

Chen Qi was also a little dumbfounded as he watched his reputation value continue to grow. He thought that the reputation value of "The Godfather", which had the support of all of Syracuse, had already reached its peak. After all, with such a masterpiece and such a rare support, it was unlikely that he would be able to create another glory.

But I never thought that the support that "Yes, Prime Minister" received in Londinium was no less than that in Syracuse - it was even showing signs of surpassing it.

At this moment, Chen Qi opened the system and looked at the comments of the residents of Londinium on the first and second episodes of "Yes, Prime Minister". As expected, he received praise from the residents of Londinium who had been suppressed for a long time.

"I never thought that one day I would actually laugh while watching a political drama. Although I couldn't understand some parts, it was really funny."

"This TV show is really daring! Thumbs up for you!"

"Is it ok to say that 'Defence policy is not about defending Victoria, it's about making Victorians believe they are defended'? #funny#"

"Bang, bang, bang! Open the door! Londinium City Defense Forces! Oh, they have been controlled by the demons. It's okay then."

"It's hilarious. My dad works at Londinium Council and he said the civil servants there are exactly like the ones he knows. They all look like this."

"Go back upstairs. What a coincidence! My dad is a secretary to a minister in Parliament. He said the politicians here are exactly the same as the ones he knows. I almost laughed to death while watching the TV series today."

"Why are there only two episodes a week? I'm counting on this TV show to survive. Do I have to rely on these two episodes to watch it until next week? I don't want that!"

"Push for more updates, this is definitely a masterpiece! I will keep following it as long as it is not banned!"

Comments like these from the residents of Londinium made Chen Qi burst into laughter. Facts have proved that even in this land, as long as the topic is about politics, the methods and qualities of all politicians are actually similar, and everyone's impression of politicians is also very similar.

This is why a masterpiece is a masterpiece. Not to mention twenty years later, even if you change the world, you only need to make slight modifications to it and it will still correspond, or even be able to be used directly.

"Director Chen Qi, I must congratulate you on the great success of the TV series "Yes, Prime Minister."

Tresis even met with Chen Qi specifically for this purpose. The regent who had always ruled Kazdel and all the Sarkaz with an iron-blooded policy had a long-lost smile on his face, and said to Chen Qi in an especially intimate manner:

"This TV series has set a precedent. Before this, no work has ever dared to expose the darkness and loopholes of a government. Under my rule, we set this precedent and it was a great success."

Of course, from now on, you, Tracy, will be the originator of the "public opinion war" on the Terra continent. Chen Qi knew very well why Tracy was so happy, but he still said humbly:

"It would be great if I could help His Royal Highness the Regent. This can be regarded as not disappointing His Royal Highness's expectations."

"I have a high opinion of you, Director Chen Qi. Your brain is worth a legion of a thousand Wendigos and ten thousand Pegasus." Tracy smiled faintly, while the guards and pardoners at the side were all dumbfounded by the intimacy shown by their regent - they had never seen Tracy value someone so much.

Even Manfred, whom he taught, had never shown such intimacy to Theresis, but Chen Qi, just for making a good film, could receive such praise from the Regent... It has to be said that it makes people a little jealous.

And Tracy even felt that this was not enough, so he took the initiative to walk down from his high position and came to Chen Qi's side. He actually took the initiative to stretch out a hand and put it on Chen Qi's shoulder, and said softly:

"Now, I intend for Yes Prime Minister to not only be broadcast in Londinium, I intend for it to be officially licensed from Londinium and broadcast throughout Victoria."

"——Your Highness, aren't you afraid that people from other mobile cities in Victoria will find out something is wrong with Londinium?" Chen Qi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and was frightened by Tracy's courage. This guy blocked all the news about Londinium, wasn't it to prevent the news from leaking out and causing a siege?

However, in the face of Chen Qi's worries, Tracy smiled and said, "Of course we have ways to deal with such small matters... It was just not necessary in the past, so we kept the news secret to prevent any accidents."

"But now, we have a 'work' that can be spread to Victoria. We only need to use the Originium technique of mind control to ensure that those people will not make mistakes."

"Besides, as the capital of Londinium, if there has been no news for such a long time, it will easily arouse suspicion. So, with Londinium's permission, we can promote this TV series to various places in Victoria."

Good man, I forgot that your Sarkaz's Originium skills are more amazing than each other. It's not surprising that a few of them were mind-controlled and spread "Yes, Prime Minister" without any risk.

But in the final analysis, Chen Qi doesn't think that Tracy's so-called public opinion war can be accomplished with just one drama, "Yes, Prime Minister". After all, this drama was made by the other party to discredit himself. Although a lot of information was revealed, it did not reveal much about the turmoil in his own country.

A country will not be destroyed by a self-critical TV series. Londinium is now facing internal and external troubles, so the effect is better. As for other mobile cities in Victoria... everyone just laughs at most and then knows nothing.

"In that case, I would like to thank His Royal Highness the Regent for his respect."

Tracy is promoting "Yes, Prime Minister" so aggressively, simply because he feels that he has tasted the sweetness of the public opinion war. So let him do free publicity for himself and promote this TV series to the whole of Victoria!

This way, Chen Qi would have no shortage of reputation points. Not only could he earn the mineral sickness inhibitor, but he could also gain reputation points to support everyone's escape in the future. A win-win situation! He won twice!

"In addition, I hope that Director Chen Qi's script will provide more pointed feedback about Victoria."

But Tracy's plan is not just that. He has greater expectations for Chen Qi. Through Chen Qi's insightful eyes, he will continue to expose Victoria's mistakes and loopholes, so that they can be applied to the revival of Kazdel in the future to find out the gaps and fill them.

However, what Tracy didn't know was that in the script of "Yes, Prime Minister", most of the problems Victoria encountered... were not faced by Kazdel, so it was useless for him to read it.

"Well, I have already written the scripts for episodes three and four. If it is convenient for Your Highness the Regent, we can prepare for next week's scenes."

Chen Qi also handed the script he had prepared long ago to Tracys, and Tracys' eyes lit up slightly, and he immediately flipped through it and asked, "What is this about?"

"The fourth episode is mainly about the Prime Minister's counterattack, while the third episode is about the big news - the topic of the 'forbidden Originium industry'."

"I think, for Victoria, this topic should be able to arouse the interest of most Victoria citizens, and the topic is sharp enough." Chen Qi also explained with a smile, and Tracys smiled faintly after hearing this:

"Very good, we will start filming as soon as we are ready. I can't wait for these four episodes to be broadcast throughout Victoria through Londinium Television."

Chapter 37: Vina: Who would be so mean to Victoria?

A few days later, on a land aircraft carrier named "Rhodes Island", on this day, Amiya, the leader of Rhodes Island, a fourteen-year-old girl from Carters, was followed by a golden-haired Aslan girl holding a long-handled warhammer.

"Ms. Vina, this is the interior of our Rhodes Island. If there is anything you don't understand or are not used to, feel free to ask."

Although Amiya is still young, with the assistance of Rhodes Island's veteran operator "Kal'tsit", she has begun to show leadership qualities. However, now is not the time for her to demonstrate her leadership qualities. She is just acting as a guide, accompanying the new operators to familiarize themselves with the environment of Rhodes Island.

And this time, the Miss Vina beside Amiya is no ordinary person. No one could have imagined that Vina, dressed like a street gangster, is actually the legitimate heir to Victoria's throne.

"…My current code name is 'King of Propulsion', and I am no longer Victoria's heir."

Vina shook her head, and Dr. Kelsey personally questioned her a few questions and finally confirmed her identity. But obviously, her current situation is not optimistic. Teresis controls the entire Londinium, and as the crown prince, it is already very difficult for Vina to escape from the chaos.

Vina gathered a small group called the Glasgow Gang, and she escaped from Londinium with the help of this group... Now she has escaped from Londinium, with no power and no army. Fortunately, she and her group met Rhodes Island and got a temporary rest.

Vina wanted to rely on the power of Rhodes Island to help her return to Londinium, but she also knew that Rhodes Island was not her army. Now she planned to rest for a while and find an opportunity to ask Rhodes Island for help.

"Rhodes Island is willing to provide me and our people with a place to stay. I am extremely grateful. We plan to have a good rest for a while."

"After a while, please feel free to assign me some tasks, Amiya. Don't treat me as the crown prince, just treat me as an ordinary operator."

Vina still understands the principle of living under someone else's roof. She must first perform well enough and win everyone's support before she can convince Rhodes Island to help her regain the throne - at present, Rhodes Island is the only one she can rely on, so she must seize the opportunity.

And Amiya also understood the reason why Vina was so humble now, and she smiled like a Sakota and said softly:

"I understand. Then, Ms. Vina, please treat Rhode Island as your second home."

"After we settle down in Rhodes Island, if there are any missions suitable for you, we will inform you as soon as possible."

While Amiya was trying to comfort Vina who had just arrived, suddenly, a beautiful figure in red and white came running towards them from a distance, shouting:

"Amiya! Amiya! Come on, come on! Director Nian, I've come up with another good idea! Please approve my application!"

The woman who called herself "Nian" had white hair with red highlights, and even wore clothes of the same style. She had a pair of dragon-like horns and ran in front of Amiya wearing sunglasses. This time, even the gentle Amiya couldn't help showing a distressed expression and smiled bitterly:

"Ms. Nian, if it's about recruiting actors for your new film, please go and negotiate with the operators yourself. Rhodes Island will not gather everyone just for your movie-related matters."

"What? Isn't it because my previous film, The Sicilian, flopped? This kind of thing is normal even for a great director like me, right?"

From Amiya's embarrassed expression, Nian knew immediately that the failure of her new movie some time ago had caused everyone in Rhodes Island to doubt her reputation - although this had already happened during the filming process.

"And I made up for all the money I spent, didn't I? Not only did Rhodes Island not spend any money, but it actually made a small profit! Doesn't this prove how capable I am as a director?"

...It was filmed based on Longmen's most popular movie "The Godfather" recently. Whether it is the shooting method, lighting, or scenes, you can see that there are strong traces of reference. However, in the final plot, not only did the revenge fail, but the protagonists faced revenge from the other family and were actually thrown down from the upstairs one after another by their own father. Only director Nian could have filmed this.

Nian's defense for this was that her "artistic conception" was more profound than that of the screenwriter of "The Godfather". She felt that the portrayal and description of the Mafia in "The Godfather" were too beautified, and she wanted to create a realistic and unique Mafia.

Then as expected, it flopped, with a Douban rating of 1.2.
