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

Chen Qi was also very clear that the World War II described in "Darkest Hour" was actually a bit difficult for the Terra continent, because in the World War II theme, the bomber class was hanging over everyone's head every day in the movie, resulting in many scenes in the movie being shot in air-raid shelters.

However, since Chen Qi has already made up his mind, these are not a problem. To be honest, Terra Continent is not without bomber-class weapons, such as Ursus, they have that kind of war weapon, but the speed of movement is not comparable.

Moreover, artillery, Originium skills, natural disaster guidance, etc. can all achieve similar effects, so Chen Qi is not worried about not being able to achieve the effect of the movie "Darkest Hour".

After all, the whole movie "Darkest Hour", apart from the depressing emotions at the beginning, also has the last half hour, where the prime minister sits in the subway and discusses the future with the people to gather their will.

Such a scene can be regarded as catering to the final destruction of Gaul... After all, who caused the destruction of Gaul? Although it is not good to put the identity of San Dezi on Gaul, fortunately, everyone in Terra will never think the same as Chen Qi.

After all, the only thing that is as valuable as Sandezi's on the Terra continent that is more similar to it is the Sarkaz. But what Chen Qi filmed was not the one where several countries were beating up Kazdel, so it was not a big problem.

As for how to choose the actors... Chen Qi probably already had an idea in mind. He understood that at this time, he probably couldn't go back to Victoria. To achieve that effect, he had to find a country that was more similar to Victoria.

“Darkest Hour…”

However, Vina and Nian's attention were quickly attracted by this part. It must be said that the movie "Darkest Hour" is what the divided Victoria needs most, both in terms of its intention and the current situation!

It tells the story of how the King of Victoria led the people of Victoria through the most difficult times. It is also a good image reversal of the cabinet and MPs who have become no different from "insects" in the eyes of the public because of "Yes, Prime Minister".

Although these ministers and members of the cabinet are really insects in peacetime, when they are really needed to stand up to defend Victoria, they are still obliged to do so! This is the glory of Victoria, how can we allow others to meddle?

“Well, this movie is good!”

After roughly listening to Chen Qi's story described in "Darkest Hour", Vina suddenly felt that this might be the best choice! It would be great to let those citizens who were disappointed with Victoria see Victoria's glorious moment!

This made Vina, who always looked lazy, show a rare look of joy. She could already imagine that when the people of Victoria saw the movie "Darkest Hour", they would definitely feel the same way.

Victoria also experienced such a dark time, even darker than today, but the emperors before were able to turn the tide, never give up, never surrender. Naturally, Victoria today cannot be so lame. They have their own glory.

Vina has even thought about how much change the last sentence of the movie, "We will never surrender", can bring to Victoria!

"This is a really good idea! Darkest Hour! The last scene where the emperor and the common people are chatting together, I think it will definitely be a big hit!"

"What about that other movie! What's that anti-war movie you're going to make?!"

At this moment, Nian was certain that he would definitely help Chen Qi. Such a peerless masterpiece would definitely add a masterpiece to his somewhat shabby masterpieces!

As for that anti-war movie... To be honest, even if the plan proposed by Chen Qi at this moment is the same routine as the few anti-war movies on the Terra continent, Nian will still help Chen Qi.

After all, it’s hard to say what’s new about anti-war movies even in recent years.

"I already have a template for an anti-war movie." Chen Qi immediately told Nian and Vina about the movie he had decided on, and said confidently:

"The name of this movie is Brave Heart."

"Brave Heart?" X2

However, as soon as Chen Qi finished speaking, Vina and Nian repeated the same sentence subconsciously, but at this moment they all felt that... this name doesn't sound like an anti-war movie? Instead, it sounds like it encourages war.

Could it be that director Chen Qi has also fallen into the trap of those large-scale films that are nominally anti-war, but as the scenes become more and more grand, with more and more sacrifices, they turn into films that encourage war in disguise?

Vina and Nian both had such questions in their minds, however, Chen Qi did not pay attention to the expressions of the two girls and continued:

"It tells a story about the friendship of four people and one beast. They come from different countries, but are all caught up in the war. The protagonists are all small people who struggle to survive in the war. From the perspective of small people, they see the cruelty of war, as well as love and humanity in the cruelty."

"I plan to use the Battle of Gaul between the Four Emperors as the main stage, allowing the little people of four different races who survived the wars to relive a period of history, and to use love and friendship to highlight the cruelty of war."

Look at war from the perspective of ordinary people? Use love and friendship to contrast the cruelty of war?

These few words made Vina and Nian stunned. Before this, they had never thought about the anti-war theme. How could they look at it from the perspective of small people and express friendship and love in it?

Generally speaking, Terra's anti-war themes all feature an omnipotent heroic protagonist who fights off the enemy's attacks time and time again and then dies heroically, or watches his comrades fall one by one and refuses to surrender, in order to highlight the cruelty of war.

However, most people who watched these movies were attracted by the heroic protagonists. They all wished they were the protagonist and had a heroic sacrifice, which made them achieve great success and make their life worthwhile... It did not have an anti-war effect, but everyone wanted to be a hero.

However, Chen Qi's proposal this time made the two girls' eyes light up. They have begun to feel that whether it is "Darkest Hour" or "Brave Heart"... after they are released, they will definitely achieve unprecedented success!

"Director Chen Qi!" At this moment, Nian suddenly raised his head, looked at Chen Qi seriously, and said solemnly:

"I admit it. You are definitely my strongest opponent in the future as a director! I have decided to stay in your crew and learn from you how to shoot movies and your ability to write scripts!"

"In the future, when I think I can get into trouble, please be sure to have a movie showdown with me! Until that day, I will always follow you!"

"——Welcome aboard, Nian."

However, when Chen Qi saw that Nian gave such a high evaluation, he immediately warmly welcomed Nian's joining. With Nian, the Xi he had been thinking about day and night would not be far away!

With Xi, Chen Qi will be able to make any big movie in the future! She is definitely a capable member of his crew!

Chapter 75: Preparation for "Darkest Hour", what actions will countries take against Victoria?

"Well, I'll go find my silly sister right now. Director Chen Qi, I can use these TV series of yours for the time being!"

"Don't worry, with these, I can definitely make my silly, housebound sister come out willingly - even if she doesn't want to, there's nothing I can do, because she can't beat me as her sister anyway. I have a hundred ways to make her get out of that painting!"

After Chen Qi told Nian about his plans for his next two works, Nian resolutely devoted herself to Chen Qi's film and television career and immediately provided Chen Qi with her solutions.

When dealing with the large-scale scenes and numerous extras required for the filming of "Darkest Hour" and "Brave Heart", Nian immediately thought of his own sister, Xi, who could solve these problems.

She can immediately present in the scroll a battlefield that requires a lot of time and energy to set up, as well as a scene of corpses everywhere. Even some of the more exaggerated weapons required can be realized in an instant.

In order to ensure the smooth filming, Nian of course had to ask his sister for help. Although this would make some people nervous, Nian still decided to go alone, which would save a lot of time.

"I will bring my silly sister to you as soon as I find her, but where are you planning to film? You're not really going to Kazdel, are you?"

"No, we're going to Casimir."

However, before saying goodbye to Nian, Chen Qi had already selected a location for himself to film "Darkest Hour". That is the only country on the Terra continent that still has a real "parliament" form. That is where Chen Qi plans to film the Darkest Hour and where the casting will be.

"Darkest Hour" is different from "Braveheart" and "Yes, Prime Minister". This drama requires a large number of protagonists and supporting roles, and Chen Qi cannot go back to Londinium to film. Therefore, the only one that has a parliamentary form, most of the races overlap, and the prosperity of the mobile city is similar seems to be Casimir.

So, when Chen Qi went on the journey to find his sister alone, he told Kal'tsit and others about his ideas, and soon got Kal'tsit's support.

"Casimir? Rhodes Island is still looking for a partner. If we can take this opportunity to reach a deal with the officials of Casimir, that would be a good idea."

After thinking about it, Kal'tsit felt that the current Rhodes Island might be able to use the popularity of Chen Qi's crew to negotiate some business with other forces and countries.

Moreover... considering that Chen Qi's crew is now too well-known, it may cause some unnecessary turmoil. Rhodes Island, as an international neutral force at least on the surface, may be able to guarantee everyone in the crew, so that the Casimir officials can rest assured.

"And if you are close to the crew and need the mineral sickness inhibitors, we can deliver them to you as quickly as possible."

"Then, without further ado, Rhodes Island, head towards Casimir."

"By the way, Operator Lin Guang, please take Miss Froststar to have some contact with the officials of Casimir first." Kal'tsit also did not forget to ask the former Brilliant Knight of Casimir to go to Casimir as a representative of Rhodes Island.

"This is what Mr. Chen Qi meant. He said that as a Casimir native, you would be more familiar with the interior of Casimir. Miss Shuangxing needs to leave in advance to obtain official permission from Casimir."

"I understand."

The Knight Yao, codenamed Lin Guang, nodded immediately. She had the scripts of the two movies "Darkest Hour" and "Brave Heart" in her hands, and there was a gleam of determination in her eyes.

She knew that what she held in her hands might be the thing that could cause the civil war that was about to break out in the divided Victoria... She might not be able to stop it, but perhaps, these two movies could reduce the losses of this civil war to the minimum they could.

Lin Guang also had other plans. Looking at the two scripts in his hands, Lin Guang was obviously thinking of his family members.

After watching both "Darkest Hour" and "Brave Heart", Margaret felt that there was a role of a family member suitable for her in each of them, and with her aura, she was able to complete the image of these roles.

And this is undoubtedly a good thing for the family, especially "Brave Heart". The knights of the Linguang family should promote this kind of anti-war movie, which is also very useful for Casimir's knight image. She has no reason not to support the release of such a movie.

This would not only be good for their family, but maybe - the uncle could also use his new identity to say goodbye to the year-round work schedule that tormented him?

……

"Chen Qi, what does this person mean? Why did he choose to come to Casimir to film at this time?"

A few days later, at the Casimir Supervisory Committee, Casimir's top executives quickly received permission from the art troupe represented by Frost Star, along with guarantee documents from Rhodes Island.

These documents immediately received high attention from the entire Casimir Supervisory Committee. They held several meetings overnight. Because the people from the Merchants' Association didn't know who Chen Qi was, for them, as long as the money was paid, they would allow any crew to come in and film.

But as the highest administrative body of Casimir, the CSRC was thinking about things that the people of the Business Federation would never think of! They were worried about what the "notorious" Chen Qi was going to do when he came.

"Could it be that our latest strategic plan has been exposed?" A Knight Commander couldn't help but ask:

"Recently, our troops have been gathering, and Ursus has also contacted us, hoping to use our border to allow their 'tourist team' to pass through."

"It's obvious that the top leaders of Ursus have the same idea as us. Everyone wants to take advantage of Victoria's division to grab a big piece of fat meat from it!"

When talking about Casimir's recent strategic policies, everyone on the Supervisory Board seemed to be in high spirits. Obviously, the split of Victoria made some people happy and some sad, but for Casimir's top executives, they were absolutely happy.

There was no way. Casimir had a very difficult time in the past few years. Their country survived between the two powerful countries of Ursus and Victoria. In the past few years, Victoria had a better life because the group was leaderless, but there had always been friction between Ursus and them.

The war machine of Ursus is an empire that relies on constant wars to operate. After they lost the battle with the Eastern Kingdom in the east, it is impossible for them to go to the Eastern Kingdom in a short time. Then, besides Casimir, who else can they fight in the west?

Although Casimir's soldiers fought bravely on the front line, it was still a fact that the front line was constantly retreating.

And now, the time has finally come for Casimir and his gang to be proud! Although Ursus didn't crack, Victoria and his gang of Pero finally cracked!

Everyone in the CSRC was so excited. They were so happy. After so many years, they finally got their chance! In the past, they couldn't beat either the East or the West, but now there was finally a place that was easy to bully. If they didn't fight now, when would they?

The Casimir Supervisory Committee notified the border defense army almost immediately. While defending the eastern battlefield, they went all out to expand to the western battlefield! They bought time to wait for the civil war among the dukes in Victoria, and immediately let the Casimir army enter the picture, occupying several mobile cities on the edge of Victoria in the name of "preventing a coup in the allies"!

The reaction from Ursus was also quick. Even a "sightseeing group" composed of the army group had been formed. They were going to visit Victoria for "sightseeing and condolences" via the border of Casimir. Everyone could guess what Ursus was thinking.

To this end, the Casimir Supervisory Committee has even discussed with Ursus which mobile cities belong to Casimir and which belong to Ursus. Just like the four countries divided Gaul in the past, now they also want to divide the territory of Victoria!

But at this time, Chen Qi and his group came and said they were coming to Casimir to film? What did this mean?

The people of the Securities and Exchange Commission would not think this was a coincidence. After all, who is Chen Qi? He said that he was the "culprit" who caused Victoria to be split into nine pieces so early! If it weren't for his filming of "Yes, Prime Minister", it would probably take Victoria several years to gradually become the current situation.

And now, such a person is going to film in Casimir. To be honest... everyone is a little scared. Who knows if this "notorious" big man is going to film a TV series similar to "Yes, Prime Minister" in Casimir, and then Casimir will also crack the next day...

"Impossible. Our strategic plan is strictly confidential. Even the Dukes of Victoria should not know about our actions now."

"Even if Chen Qi is protected by both the Sarkaz and the Sakota, there is no reason for him to know our strategic plan."

This possibility was quickly ruled out, but after a conversation among everyone, no one understood why Chen Qi would come to Casimir to film for no reason...especially since his acting was so "impressive".

"...No matter what, no matter what drama he wants to film, as long as he comes to Casimir, we must first sort out our internal problems before considering an expedition."

In the end, the person who finalized the decision was an old and respected knight from the Supervisory Committee. He slowly stood up and took the initiative to propose:

"Our strategic plan remains unchanged, but we must first protect the interior... dispatch a team of 'Silver Spear Pegasus' back to the Great Knight Territory. Before sending this living immortal away, this team of Silver Spear Pegasus will guard the Great Knight Territory."

"As long as we hold on to the Great Knight Territory and keep the residents of Casimir unaware of the filming, then even if Director Chen Qi is extremely powerful, he will not be able to affect the situation in Casimir!"

"Also, urgently recall several competitive knights and try to agree to all their requests. They have only one purpose, which is to 'protect' Director Chen Qi and ensure that the content he shoots has nothing to do with Casimir! And during the filming, it will not be transmitted to Casimir's theater in any way!"

As soon as the old knight said this, he was immediately echoed by the knight commanders present. Soon, with several knight commanders raising their hands, this response strategy was immediately decided.

"I agree."

"I agree too."

"Okay, don't reveal any information to Director Chen Qi. No matter what he wants to shoot, we will block the news! Satisfy all their needs except for mobilizing the army. After the filming is finished, send them away!"

However, at the same time, in a hotel owned by the Great Knight, Margaret, who had already returned home, was looking at her uncle, Mainna Linguang, with fear and trepidation as he read the scripts of two movies in his hands.

After she returned home and greeted her sister and aunt, Margaret immediately handed the script to her uncle who had just got off work.

Margaret extremely hopes that her uncle can play the role of the new emperor in "Darkest Hour" who is entrusted with the mission of protecting Victoria!

"…So, now you don't want to be a jockey anymore and want to become an actor, Margaret?"

After a long time, Maenna finally spoke. This middle-aged man, whose past was vague and who only knew that he was not as ordinary as he looked, even revealed fatigue in his words. He said lightly:

"If that's what you think, I think it's at least much more pleasing to the eye than a jockey."

"But I won't play this role - I'm not suitable to play the emperor, and I don't have the temperament of a leader."

"...I understand." Margaret didn't seem surprised by the result. After all, she came here with the mentality of giving it a try. She knew that her uncle would probably not be interested in this matter.

However, Margaret had no idea that what Mainna was thinking at the moment was... now that he knew that Casimir was about to use troops against Victoria, and this "Darkest Hour" would undoubtedly be an encouragement to Victoria's side!

If someone from the Linguang family played a role in this movie, what would the Casimir people think? What would the people from the Supervisory Commission think? He couldn't let the Linguang family fall into danger, even if... he didn't approve of this war against Victoria.

"…But I am very interested in another movie called Brave Heart, whose protagonist Eric is very interesting."

However, Margaret's sudden words suddenly changed Margaret's expression from cloudy to sunny. She looked at her uncle who had finally let go with a look of surprise. Margaret immediately replied:

"Nothing, I'm just tired of work these days, and I really want to change my environment."

"Besides, as I said before, I like this job better than being a competitive knight. I'm glad you've changed your mind, Margaret."

Ma Enna said this, and then slowly stood up and said, "I will ask for leave from the company... No, after thinking about it, it is better to resign. I really should change my job."

"Anyway, the company can't possibly give me such a long paid leave, so I just hope that my hard work isn't in vain this time."

It's not in vain... Mainna naturally has his own plans. Now that Casimir is preparing for a war against Victoria, Mainna realizes that it is time for the Linguang family to leave Casimir. Otherwise, as the army suffers repeated defeats, the remaining flames of the war will soon spread to civilians, letting them also be baptized by war.

Mainna didn't want to see any of the Linguang family's children go to the battlefield... Therefore, he had to take everyone away and stay away from the war-torn Casimir.

Of course, there was also some of the "ranger" nature left in Mainna's heart... He knew that the war could not be stopped, but what if he could use his own way to salvage it a little?

And...if this movie is a big hit, somewhere on the continent of Terra, the person I'm looking for...will they be able to hear their voices?

"...I will protect the children, for sure."
