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

Even so, Nian actually found a way to make back the money invested in making the movie from Longmen. Amiya had to admire Nian's ability - although this money was probably not earned by making the movie.

“…Amiya, who is this?” Vina on the side didn’t know Nian either, but she vaguely felt that there was something special about Nian. Now that she lacks power, she wants to get to know as many capable people on Rhodes Island as possible.

"Ah, this is Nian, a friend we met when we were resupplying at Lungmen."

Amiya also began to introduce Nian to Vina, but she vaguely felt that her decision was wrong - because Vina would most likely be deceived by Nian to shoot a new movie.

Many operators who didn't know much about Rhodes Island were deceived the first time in this way. They thought they could realize their dream of becoming a star through a movie, but ended up being the protagonist of a bad movie. It's not worth being happy about at all. As a result, it's difficult to trick a few people into participating in the film in Rhodes Island this year.

"Oh, this beautiful Miss Aslan! Are you interested in filming with me?"

As expected, after Nian glanced at Vina, he immediately showed an interested smile, and immediately began to deceive Vina and said:

"I have a great script recently! I was inspired by a TV show and thought we could make a political satire!"

"…a political satire?"

However, Vina, the crown prince, showed a puzzled expression for the first time after hearing these familiar words. Even Amiya was surprised by Nian's strange ideas and asked subconsciously:

"When did Miss Nian come up with this idea?"

Amiya knew that as a director, Nian was actually very good at many things. The only thing she was not good at was script writing. According to Dr. Kal'tsit's evaluation, it was "a stitching together of various classic movies, but it took the dregs and removed the essence. The few fantastic ideas were even unbearable to watch."

To put it bluntly, Nian's creative ability as a screenwriter is only the ability to stitch together and imitate, and even the few ideas of his own are mostly failures.

But political satire...this unprecedented idea, Amiya doesn't quite believe that it was Nian who came up with it.

"Hey? Haven't you watched "Yes, Prime Minister"? I think the idea of ​​that play is quite good! As a Victorian play, it is rare to be quite interesting!" Nian said the source of his idea without any hesitation, and said proudly:

"I think I can follow this idea and make a political satire or something. Amiya, which country do you think would be a good one for me to satirize?"

"...Victorian drama?"

However, before Amiya could respond to Nian's words, Vina at the side immediately noticed something was wrong.

Londinium is now controlled by Tracy and his Sarkaz Legion, who have long blocked all information channels - and all of Victoria's film and television works must be officially authorized by Londinium TV.

How could Tracy allow any news to leak out at this moment? It was even more impossible to broadcast a new TV series!

Unless... he deliberately allowed it. When Vina thought of this TV series as a political satire, she automatically ignored the comedy behind it and focused on the political satire.

"——Miss Nian, that TV series is called "Yes, Prime Minister", right?"

Suddenly, Vina grasped the key point of the matter. She was sure that there was definitely something wrong with this TV series. Tracys must have had sinister intentions in specifically allowing this TV series to be passed!

……

Dozens of minutes later, Vina returned to her room and turned on the TV to watch the TV series. As expected, as Nian said, the TV series has now been fully released in Victoria, and it is very popular now, but she didn't even notice it.

And the most important thing is that Vina recognized several of the main actors at a glance, Theresis who was dressed up as Filin and Manfred who was dressed as Aslan. Although Vina didn't know the other one, she could smell the stench of Sarkaz on him even through the screen!

“Sure enough, these guys actually pretended to be high-ranking people in Victoria, and used these satires to try to undermine the confidence of the people of Londinium and even Victoria.”

Vina gritted her teeth slightly. She saw through Tracy's intention, but now she was displaced and could do nothing. She could only watch this hateful TV series being broadcast - and she even watched two episodes.

Although Vina was reluctant to admit it, she came to the same conclusion as Aledea. The TV series itself was actually quite excellent, both in terms of satire and comedy effects.

But behind this is Tracy's sinister intention, which makes Vina resent the people who filmed this TV series.

"With their brains, those Sarkaz definitely can't come up with this... So, is this the idea of ​​the director and screenwriter of this TV series?"

"...You are actually colluding with the Sarkaz. Don't let me catch you."

Vina and Aleda had the same reaction at this moment. They both felt that the person who filmed this TV series was simply a sinner to Victoria! To be in collusion with the Sarkaz at this time was simply a traitor to Victoria!

"Yes, yes, Master, these people are simply Victoria's insects. We must give them a good beating!"

But beside Vina, she was not the only one. Her guard Indra and Dagda, the former tower knight, were watching beside her. However, at this moment, the two girls had red faces and tears in their eyes, and they looked like they could hardly hold back their laughter.

Especially Indra, although she supported her master with righteous words, she almost laughed when she saw it just now, and even let out some sounds when she spoke.

As for Dagda, she covered her mouth tightly, looking like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare to. Because she was not only Vina's person, but also the original knight of the tower and the heir to the earldom. If she laughed at Victoria, according to the law, she would be deprived of her title!

Indra didn't dare to laugh, only because she supported Vina as her master. In the future, when Vina regained the imperial power, she might be able to rise to the top overnight. But Dagda couldn't do that. No matter what her current position or identity was, she couldn't laugh.

But Vina had no time to worry about them at this moment, she just murmured to herself:

"In the first and second episodes, they mainly talked about the inaction of civil servants and politicians, as well as the problems with national defense... Then, let's see what bad things that bastard screenwriter and bastard director said about us in the third episode."

Vina clicked on the next episode as she spoke. She had to admit that the first two episodes of this TV series had great comedy effects. For example, the famous line "In order to make Victorians feel protected" almost broke Vina's act, but she felt that this was the limit.

I definitely won’t laugh in the next episode. I’m Victoria’s crown prince and I have to fight to the end against this absurd comedy that deliberately tarnishes the image of her kingdom!

But it was obvious that Indra and Dagda didn't think so... From the looks of their faces, they were almost unable to hold back...

"Master, that's not a bad word, we think it's the truth!" Indra and Dagda said in their hearts, but they had to continue to accept the torment of wanting to laugh but not daring to think about it...

Thanks for the listing, everyone's support!

Chapter 38: The infected are our Victoria’s benefactors!

"Speaking of which, no matter how many times I watch it, I am always surprised... that Tracys and Manfred, two powerful demons, would actually star in this TV series themselves."

The third episode had just been aired. Indra, who was sitting next to Vina, also wanted to distract himself from laughing when recalling the previous episodes, so he said:

"One of them is the regent, the other is a general, and the other is a Sarkaz. They are definitely people in high positions. Aren't they all quite arrogant? How can they act in a play themselves?"

“——It must have been that damn unknown director’s suggestion that convinced them.”

Vina came to this conclusion after some guessing. She picked up another lollipop and held it in her mouth. The sour taste in her mouth made her relax a little. She said lightly:

"There are not many people in Sakazi who understand art. The director or screenwriter of this drama must have convinced Tracy with the script. Tracy is a cunning guy. He intends to use this script to undermine the loyalty of Victorians to their country."

"Indra, Dagda, once we finish watching these episodes, we will go see Dr. Kelsey. She should know who directed this show. There is no list of people who directed this show. It must have been deliberately hidden by Tracy."

"When we have a chance to return to Londinium, in addition to Tracys, we must kill this director and send her to the gallows. Do you understand?"

However, Vina's words were also responded to by Indra and Dagda's nods, but... they actually wanted to say that the drama was actually right... they felt that the Victorian government satirized in the drama was exactly the same as what they had perceived.

But Vina was angry now, so they had to stand on Vina's side and agreed silently.

When the three women turned their attention back to the TV, Humphrey, played by the Blood Demon Lord, was discussing a topic that immediately attracted the three women: tax cuts, with a new character, Frank, the Treasury Secretary.

Tax cuts are naturally good policies for a country's citizens, and as a prime minister, he naturally needs to use such people-friendly policies to gain more votes and support.

But what's so ironic about this? Shouldn't this be a decision that benefits the people? Vina continued to read on with strange thoughts, and at this moment, the financial secretary seemed to have some opinions about the tax cuts and said bluntly:

"He wanted to give away half a billion of our money. It took me a long time to persuade the chancellor to oppose this policy."

"What method do you use?" the Blood Demon Lord asked subconsciously.

"I said we need money to support hospitals, schools and the elderly." Frank also answered the question directly, and the two old foxes couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"Artificial Kidney Tactics."

"Understood, Humanitarian Minister." The Blood Demon Lord also chuckled. However, the laughter of the two people on TV made Vina frown and said with disgust:

"…I see. No wonder the people in the Ministry of Finance always use this excuse. And schools, hospitals and nursing homes have not seen renovations for so many years. So that's the reason."

"Master, they just don't want to pay the money." As the former leader of the Glasgow Gang, Indra has a lot to say about this:

"Just like those orphanages that accept so many qualifications but never have any money, once the money is in their pockets, it can't flow out."

"...This kind of thing must be changed if we can go back." Vina nodded and continued to watch the interaction between the two on TV. At this moment, the Blood Demon Lord also spoke:

"But there's no need to make such a fuss about this matter, right? It's only 1.5 billion."

"--Yes, the money is not much, I am surprised that you let it pass so easily." Frank could not help but blame the Blood Demon Lord at this moment. His implication was also very obvious, that the cabinet secretary could not control the prime minister and could not even persuade him to give up his policy.

The Blood Demon Lord naturally heard this and responded elegantly: "If I were your Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, I would be more worried about the current economic situation and low productivity."

"That's not our fault." When Frank heard this, he immediately retorted like a cat whose tail was stepped on:

"It's all the fault of the Victorian workers. They are lazy and just want to get something for nothing! The number of absenteeism hours is increasing. No one is willing to work a day!"

Frank openly accused Victorian workers of being lazy and greedy, which also brought a burst of laughter from the TV. But this time, the three women, led by Vina, could not laugh, and they stared at Frank on the screen with indignation.

"We should really throw this guy into the factory and let him experience what it feels like to work twelve hours a day." Indra said viciously, and Vina nodded and said lightly:

"These infestations will definitely be removed in the future. The Victorian Parliament cannot tolerate them."

However, while Vina hated these civil servants on TV, she also felt relieved. Sure enough, this screenwriter had run out of ideas. After the first two episodes, the quality of the jokes in the third and fourth episodes plummeted, and the first joke didn't even make her laugh.

What Vina was most worried about was that as the crown princess, she would laugh at a comedy that satirized Victoria, which would be disgraceful for her status, so she would never allow herself to lose her composure.

At this moment, the plot continues to develop. Humphrey, played by Lord Blood Demon, went to watch a cricket match and was received by people from the Originium Industry. At this moment, the Originium Industry mentioned the Minister of Health and the "ban on the Originium tool parade" and asked Lord Blood Demon for help, and he readily agreed.

When the Blood Demon Lord returned to his office, he and the Prime Minister played by Tracy once again expressed some different opinions on the issue of tax cuts.

"Why would the chancellor oppose a tax cut? This is a great opportunity for him to win votes, and he won't take it?"

"He listens to the Ministry of Finance. They won't spit out the money they take in." The Blood Demon Lord gave a matter-of-fact answer to this question, and Tracys hurriedly shook his head when he heard it.

"It's not their money, it's taxpayers' money."

"That's what they said, but the Ministry of Finance disagrees." The Blood Demon Lord smiled faintly and explained to the Prime Minister about the Minister of Finance's idea:

"Taxes have nothing to do with demand. Prime Minister, the Treasury doesn't figure out how to spend money first and then try to collect it."

"Whenever possible, collect as much as possible, and then find a place to spend it! If you return the money because you don't need it, you will break the rules that have been established for many years."

"Taking away their money is equivalent to taking away their power, so they will naturally resist."

Obviously, Tracy's tax reduction plan was delayed again. When Tracy saw that the tax reduction plan had no progress and the Minister of Health happened to come, he asked the Blood Demon Lord to go out and receive the Minister of Health first.

As soon as the Minister of Health came in, he proposed a proposal that surprised everyone in and out of the show: "Ban Originium Tools". He proposed to use various methods to make Originium tools as expensive as pure Originium, and cancel the advertising and sponsorship of the Originium industry, which could reduce the infection rate by 80%.

As soon as the Minister of Health mentioned this plan, everyone knew that this proposal would never be passed. Even the fledgling Vina knew that it was impossible. She shook her head and said:

"This plan will never be passed... The Originium industry accounts for a large part of the fiscal budget, and there are many workers related to the Originium industry in Victoria. How can this plan be passed?"

"Yes...but this Minister of Health is quite competent." Indra nodded and said, because the three women present were not infected, so even if they did not have high expectations for the Minister of Health's proposal, they still felt that the Minister of Health was very competent.

After all, no one wants the spread of oripathy to happen.

"Yes, I know a friend who died from oripathy." Dagda nodded. The three women did not want oripathy to spread, so they all expressed their support for this radical proposal.

But unexpectedly, Tracy did not reject the proposal immediately. Instead, he thought of using it as a bargaining chip to negotiate with the Ministry of Finance and let them choose between the source stone industry tax and a tax cut of 15 billion, using this method to implement his own tax reduction policy.

As expected, after Lord Blood Demon returned to the office, Tracys mentioned to him that he supported the ban on source stone tools. As expected, Lord Blood Demon had a conflict of ideas with Tracys on this issue.

The Blood Demon Lord thought this was absurd and impossible to implement. Instead, he was surprised that Tresis supported this policy. He tried his best to say:

"The infection caused by Originium tools kills 100,000 people every year. But we have investigated and found that if these 100,000 people survived and died of old age, they would need more pensions and social security than medical insurance!"

"So from a financial perspective, there is no doubt that maintaining the current mortality rate is the best option!"

The Blood Demon Lord's words easily turned the lives of 100,000 people into a financial problem. However, such black humor almost made Indra and Dagda laugh again - they did not immediately notice the subtle creepiness in the words just now because they were not infected.

But Vina didn't smile at all. Instead, she felt a little eerie, but she was not sure why... so she had to continue watching.

Following closely, Tracys on TV continued to say, "Originium tools kill 100,000 people every year, and what do we get?"

"- Four billion in tax revenue." The Blood Demon Lord answered without hesitation and in a resounding voice, but this time his voice was more certain than any other time before.

"Twenty-five thousand jobs related to the Originium industry, booming exports, etc..."

Later, it seemed that he was arguing with the Prime Minister. In response to the Prime Minister's questions, the Blood Demon Lord finally expressed his own views.

"Humphrey, we are talking about the lives and deaths of 100,000 people every year."

"Yes, but the Originium tax accounts for one-third of public health funds!" The Blood Demon Lord continued as a matter of course:

“We have worked hard to save so many lives because these infected people voluntarily sacrificed themselves to save their non-infected compatriots!”

"The infected are the benefactors of our country!"

However, Lord Blood Demon's rhetoric suddenly made the infected people appear to be extremely noble, and his logical thinking was almost impeccable. Regardless of whether people were infected with the oripathy or not, they would subconsciously not think that this was a criticism, but a compliment.

The Blood Demon Lord's expression of deep approval caused Indra and Dagda to burst into laughter. But slowly, after their laughter was infected, it gradually slowed down and became smaller... until it disappeared completely.

At this moment, the three women headed by Vina seemed to have realized something... Even though the canned laughter here was so contagious, at this moment, the three women who had been hanging out in the slums of Londinium for a long time and had come into contact with many infected people all tasted the eerie feeling behind these lines.

What kind of impact will a TV series like this have on Victoria's image?

How would the infected view Victoria? Even though Victoria still kept strict control over the infected, she never said anything like that.

Now, if such words are spread, even if non-infected people will regard it as a joke, what about those who are engaged in the Originium industry and may become infected at any time? What will they think?

At this moment, Vina felt an inexplicable chill running down her spine... She finally understood that the horror of this TV show... was that it told the truth in a humorous way...

That is, Victoria has never cared about the infected.
