"Let's not talk about whether His Majesty Frederick II is qualified to be the emperor in peacetime. In this critical moment, he has proven to us that he is incompetent in leadership!"
"Therefore, based on national interests, we, the opposition party, are willing to form a grand coalition government with the current ruling Conservative Party!"
"But we cannot continue to accept the leadership of Frederick II! He has greatly disappointed the House of Commons and his people!"
"Everything is for the good of the country! Please tell him, Prime Minister and the nobles! Resign! We need a new leader!"
At that moment, after the opposition leader said this, the entire parliament was in chaos again. If there were really civil servants from Victoria here, they would definitely be moved.
There is nothing wrong with the admitted fact that the House of Lords is like a botanical garden, and the House of Commons like a zoo.
"The argument was so intense. We only asked them to memorize their lines in advance and then vent them in the parliament. I didn't expect them to be so dedicated?"
On the other side, Tallulah and Chen Qi were watching this scene in the camera. Seeing the opposition and conservative parties arguing fiercely, Tallulah couldn't help but sigh.
However, Chen Qi knew very well why this effect occurred, and explained with a smile:
"Because they have some personal emotions... For the opposition party, I specifically found the Knights of the Casimir Supervisory Council to play the roles, and for the conservative party, I specifically found people from the Federation of Commerce and the National Council."
"The Business Federation and the National Council are colluding with each other, and they have been in constant conflict with the Supervisory Commission. This time, they can just vent their emotions a little more."
"However, this part was really well acted, so it's OK. I hope our subsequent filming will go smoothly."
Chen Qi also saw this set of shots at the moment. However, the voice he transmitted to the parliament through the microphone did not seem to be as loud as the sound of the quarrel between the two sides at the moment... Obviously, the situation in the parliament is getting out of control and is moving in a serious direction.
"Mr. Patriot! Now it's your turn! Hurry up and take the shield guard to separate them!"
Chen Qi also felt a bit of a headache. The conflicts on Casimir's side seemed to be more acute than he thought. In fact, regarding the matter of sending troops that the top leaders of Casimir had been concealing, according to what Chen Qi knew now, the opinions of the Chamber of Commerce and the Supervisory Commission were not unanimous.
The idea of the Ombudsman is to expand the victory and try to destroy Victoria in one fell swoop. It would be best if Victoria is left in this half-dead state.
However, the Chamber of Commerce stated that this would not be conducive to their expansion of the Victoria market. They did not want a Victoria that was so dilapidated that it needed to be rebuilt. They wanted a sufficiently rich Victoria market. To this end, they only needed to defeat Victoria, force her to cede territory and pay compensation, and then build a mobile city as a trading port, which would allow them to erode Victoria's market step by step.
But Chen Qi had no idea what the top executives at Casimir thought. He was just worried about the filming.
"I will definitely not use them next time. I would rather let Xi Hua and her group come out than use this kind of group of actors who fight each other every time they organize. Although they act well, it will be more troublesome later!"
"——Are you talking about me?"
While Chen Qi was still complaining to Tallulah, Xi's voice suddenly came from the side. She came to Chen Qi's side quietly and said lightly:
"You asked me to draw some sets for you, that movie called Braveheart, right? I have it drawn now."
"The villages, battlefields, trenches, etc. you want are all in this painting. When you want to shoot a scene, just go directly into this painting and shoot it. This way you can save some time."
"Thank you for your great help, Xi." Chen Qi took the scroll from Xi's hand immediately. He opened it and looked at it solemnly. The scroll painted by Xi combined everything together with clever techniques, whether it was a golden wheat field, a trench battlefield like hell, or even the soldiers of Gaul, Lethania, and Victoria, all were lifelike.
"With this, it was much easier to scout locations when we were filming Brave Heart."
Tallulah also nodded. Like Chen Qi, she didn't know how to appreciate art, but she could see that this painting could provide great help for their filming.
However, Tallulah still asked Xi with some doubts:
"It's just... Miss Xi, why are you willing to paint for Brave Heart but not willing to help us paint some battlefield scenes for Darkest Hour?"
"Nothing, I'm just not interested." Xi also answered Tallulah's question calmly, saying:
"Strictly speaking, if you hadn't asked me to help with Brave Heart, I wouldn't have been interested... I don't like movies that don't have much depth and whose endings can be predicted at a glance."
"If I'm guessing correctly, the ending of Darkest Hour is nothing more than the new emperor inspiring everyone's fighting spirit and insisting on fighting; and the ending of Braveheart is nothing more than someone dies on the battlefield and then there is a funeral after everyone cries, right?"
Xi did not read the scripts of the two movies. To her, the subjects that did not interest her were never pleasing to her. In fact, she had no interest in watching some movies unless Nian forced her to.
...Well, "Yes, Prime Minister" is indeed an unexpectedly interesting TV series. Xi has to admit that he had some preconceived ideas because of the word "political satire".
However, Xi has little interest in the two films that Chen Qi is currently filming. She is definitely not interested in such films whose endings can be guessed at a glance, with no twists or surprises.
"What? You haven't seen it, how can you casually comment on Chen Qi's movie?" Xi's lofty attitude made Tallulah, who was defending Chen Qi, a little unhappy. But before Tallulah could get angry, Chen Qi stopped her and took the initiative to say to Xi:
"——If that's the case, please go watch the premiere of our movie, Miss Xi. I'm very confident in both movies, and maybe they can change your opinion."
"Whatever." Xi still had little interest in this. After closing his eyes slightly, he said:
"I'm tired. I need to go back to the painting to rest. Please don't disturb me."
As he spoke, Xi casually waved his hand, and like a green meteor, he flew into the scroll in Chen Qi's hand - the scrolls drawn by Xi were all interconnected, so as long as one entered, it was equivalent to entering the world of all the paintings drawn by Xi.
"Haha, my sister is not easy to get along with, right?"
At this time, Nian, who was wearing sunglasses and holding a script in his hand, came to Chen Qi with a smile. Now Nian was "studying" in Chen Qi's crew, but Chen Qi did not give her any particularly important work. Most of the time, she just walked around the crew, looking at the shots and the shooting situation.
Simply put, he is the one who eats free food in the crew. But Nian has always insisted on wearing this outfit in the crew, saying that it is the standard outfit for a "director".
"Trust me, my sister definitely didn't go back to the painting scroll because she was tired. She went back to watch "Yes, Prime Minister"."
"Huh? So much time has passed, and Xi hasn't finished reading it yet?" Chen Qi was also a little surprised, but Nian shook his head when he heard that, revealing his sister's true face hidden under her cold appearance.
"How could that be possible? She has watched it several times. I don't know how many times she has watched it."
"You should understand, right? She usually doesn't like any dramas, but when she sees a good drama, she must watch it until she is tired of it. My sister has high standards, and it is difficult for her to change her mind about something she dislikes at first sight - because she has no interest in understanding it at all!"
"So, Director Chen Qi, I have high hopes for you this time. The two movies we shoot together must impress my sister!"
Nian didn't mind putting an arm around Chen Qi's shoulders, and shamelessly planned to add her name to the production crew of these two movies, which she had no help at all.
However, what Nian did not say was that her high hopes for Chen Qi were not just to give her sister more movies or TV series to watch... She also hoped that Chen Qi's works could help vent some of the emotions of her sister, who was depressed and kept everything to herself.
After not seeing each other for many years, her sister's "mental defenses" are really too thick. She is very worried... If this continues, her sister's "self-cultivation" for so many years will really make her a person who is neither sad nor happy.
And this is also the state Xi has always pursued... Only in this way can she not be swallowed by fear, the fear of losing herself at any time...
So, Director Chen Qi, please... please don't let me down.
Chapter 82: Chuxue, Yaxin: Why does my brother act like an old man?
Regarding the filming of "Brave Heart", Chen Qi originally planned to let Aiguo play the role of the protagonist "Emile". After all, Aiguo's identity is very suitable for this role; he looks old, a veteran, steady and responsible.
However, under Margaret's suggestion, Chen Qi finally decided to let Mainna, who came voluntarily, to play the role of the veteran "Emile".
Turning his head and thinking about it, Chen Qi also felt that it was indeed a bit unreasonable for him to let Patriot play the role in the beginning. First of all, this time for "Brave Heart", Chen Qi specially made localization processing for it. The background of the Battle of the Four Emperors was the same as that of "Darkest Hour". Considering the identity of the character "Emile" in Gaul, Patriot was obviously not suitable.
After all... even if the Patriot is a Sarkaz, his figure is too burly. It is not suitable for him to play "Emile", a veteran in Gaul, regardless of his identity or figure as a Sarkaz.
Mainna is very suitable for the role. First of all, he is a ranger himself. His travels have made him full of the vicissitudes of life of an old soldier, as well as numbness and disgust towards war. The makeup is not difficult, it is almost just a matter of covering up the ears and pretending to be older.
As for the patriot, Chen Qi naturally arranged a role that was more suitable for him, that is, "Freddy", the only black character in "Brave Heart".
For localization, Chen Qi changed this character to the only Sarkaz in this movie. A Sarkaz mercenary who resolutely embarked on a journey to hunt down the culprit and join the war because his hard-earned happiness was ruthlessly deprived.
This also explains in a disguised way why the character of Freddy has always been so strong in "Brave Heart". He takes on the most dangerous job but escapes again and again.
Of course, Chen Qi still had to do some makeup for the Patriot, and think of a way to reduce the Patriot's size a little. After all, a character as big as a mountain would be too eye-catching. They were not making a movie about personal heroism, so the Patriot could appear stronger than the others, but not strong enough to affect the battle situation.
As for the role of "Carl", the son-in-law from Leitania, Margaret, who is also a "Knight of Glory", also volunteered to stand up and said that she could play this role.
Of course, more importantly, it is the sense of justice and responsibility of this "Knight of Glory" who wants to contribute to this anti-war film.
"Knights should fight to protect civilians, not to coerce civilians into going to war."
"As a knight of the Linguang family, I have the responsibility and obligation to stand up and do something to oppose the war in this world - even if it means not going to the battlefield, I should fulfill the justice and duty of a knight!"
"Therefore, I will not let Uncle Manna star in this destined to be a great movie alone. Please let all of us in the Linguang family contribute to this anti-war movie!"
Margaret spoke to Chen Qi righteously at the time, and this immediately encouraged her sister Maria, who clamored to join the filming of "Brave Heart". Maryna was so angry that she almost drew her sword to fight her ignorant niece with all her strength.
Others may not know, but Mauna is very clear! Currently, Casimir is fighting an unjust war in alliance with Ursus and Leitania. As someone who is being monitored by the Supervisory Commission at any time and in any place, it is very risky for him to participate in an anti-war movie at this time!
Mainna also felt that Casimir, which had been plunged into war again, was no longer suitable for the Linguang family to stay. However, it was even more unrealistic for the Linguang family to leave Casimir as a whole. That would be a complete treason, and the honor that the Linguang family had worked hard to build for so many years would be wiped out.
Mainna has not yet found the parents of his two nieces, nor his brother and sister-in-law... He cannot make the decision to let the Linguang family leave Casimir, and he has no power to do so.
The decision to act in Brave Heart was just a way out for Mahner after weighing the pros and cons. In this way, he would only act in the film in his own capacity, and the responsibility would be on him alone, without involving others.
And in the future... no matter what the outcome of this war is, my help this time can at least be regarded as a favor, allowing Chen Qi, a man who is protected by both "heaven" and "hell", to help their family escape from danger at the critical moment.
And it was time for him to find an excuse to take the opportunity to reasonably "exile" Casimir and embark on the journey of finding the whereabouts of his brother and sister-in-law, which he had never made up his mind to do before.
And... before I leave, do some final things within my ability.
Mainna was not optimistic about whether "Brave Heart" could stop this unjust war, but he just valued Chen Qi's talent to stir up the world, but this time he used his ability to oppose the war. He felt that Chen Qi was like the naive self he once was.
Therefore, he wanted to help as much as he could, before he was no longer able to do so.
But one thing is for sure, he couldn't let Margaret and others get involved, and because of this matter, Mainna and her two nieces were arguing.
"Please give me some time, Director Chen Qi. I remember you said that the time passing inside the scroll is slower than that outside the scroll."
"I need to have a heart-to-heart talk with my two nieces, so I won't bother you for now."
Having said this, Mainna took her two nieces, Margaret and Maria, into Xi's scroll world. Chen Qi could guess what Mainna wanted to do by taking her two nieces to the scroll world...but as to who could convince whom, Chen Qi didn't know.
Chen Qi can afford to wait, and now their energy is mainly focused on "Darkest Hour". The filming is going smoothly now, and they are slowly sketching out the atmosphere of Victoria during a war period with internal and external troubles.
While the crew was filming "Darkest Hour" in Casimir, they welcomed several "uninvited guests".
"Wow! Is this the big city of Casimir?! It's really big!"
"And this time, I didn't expect that you, sister, could actually get out of Kjerag! Will the elders of Manzhuyuan really not say anything?"
In the Great Knight Territory of Casimir, two girls with racial features very similar to Silver-Ash were walking on the streets of Casimir. One of them was lively and cute, and the other was quiet and elegant. One of them had long hair and was more quiet, like the elder sister, the Filin girl, and she also answered:
"It's okay. Ya'er has already informed me. The Elders' Council has been quite idle during this period, so they are not supervising me that strictly. Besides, I came out this time with the legitimate reason of 'promoting faith'."
"So the purpose of promoting faith...is to buy some TVs and set up a LAN?"
The two film girls are the sisters of SilverAsh, who is now the protagonist of the crew. Their names are Enya and Enshia. Like SilverAsh, they came all the way from Kjerag to Casimir. Their purpose is very obvious, which is to "visit the set".
Of course, Enya herself certainly didn't say that. She didn't have a very good relationship with her brother, and there was no way she could leave Kjerag with such an excuse, so she chose another excuse.
"It just so happens that I heard that he has recently been purchasing televisions and is selling them to residents in the territory, intending to make them universal... He is also planning on the local area network, and it should be ready soon."
"Take this opportunity to give some televisions as rewards to believers in the name of Manzhuyuan and in the name of Yelagund. This can also be regarded as a gift to the believers of Kjerag."
"Okay, okay, sister, whatever you say is fine!"
However, Enxia did not expose her sister's little thoughts. She knew that this time they came all the way from Kjerag to Casimir mainly to see their brother.
After all, when they found out that their brother had traveled thousands of miles to a film crew to play a role, they were all a little shocked. Their brother, who was serious and seemed to be willing to abandon anyone for his own goals, would actually go to act?
How could they not go and take a look? Therefore, driven by such curiosity, the two of them, under the protection of Silver Gray's capable "Messenger", came all the way to Casimir, looking for the place where their brother was filming.
Because of this matter, the messenger had already told Yinhui and Chen Qi in advance through his own channels, so they had no obstacles along the way. Soon, the three of them successfully entered the busy crew.
"Is this the crew? They look so busy."
"Miss, Miss, it looks like they are filming right now, so we'd better not disturb them." The messenger stopped the two girls from going to the filming location, and soon, Shuang Xing walked up to the three of them and said to them:
"You three are Mr. Silver Gray's relatives, right? We are filming here now. Please follow us to the screening room and wait."
"Oh, ok, please."
What a beautiful person! Frost Star's appearance also made Enxia and Enya sigh. After following Frost Star to the screening room, they soon saw Chen Qi himself, who was watching the big screen with Tallulah and Nian.
"This is our director, Chen Qi." Shuang Xing's tone was filled with a hint of pride as she introduced them, "The one with white hair and dragon horns is our assistant director, Tallulah. The other one is Nian, the technical director... I guess."
"The scene is about to begin, please don't disturb them while they are working. I remember the next scene will be the one starring the two elder brothers, so go watch it if you are interested."
"Hey? Is my brother's performance next?"
Frost Star's words also made Enya and Enxia's eyes light up. When they heard that they could watch their brothers act, no matter what their relationship was like, the two girls quickly sat down on the sofa nearby and began to patiently watch the filming effects reflected on the big screen.
At this moment, the video being played was the new private secretary named "Leighton" played by Vina, meeting the future king of Victoria, the character played by Silver Gray, for the first time. She came to the door and listened to the chattering instructions of the people beside her:
"If he stretched out his hand and said 'give it to me', you would immediately guess what he wanted, a black pen, a red pen, paper or 'clop' - his stapler."
"He slurs his words, so it's almost impossible to make out anything. Type quickly, quickly and neatly, and use double spacing."
"He hates single spacing! He hates it!"
"Okay, good luck to you."
After giving these instructions, the men slowly left. Just from a few words of conversation, Enya and Enxia had already figured out in their minds that the person the female secretary wanted to meet was not a kind person.
"...What role did he play?" Enya turned her head and asked her sister beside her.
"I heard he's a lord-level being, or an emperor or something? Anyway, he's in a very high position! Perfect for brother!"
And Enxia also quickly answered her sister's question, and said with some excitement: "Hehe, I can already imagine that when brother's handsome face of a domineering president is added with the emperor's attire, he will definitely be able to charm a large group of girls in Kjerag!"
"Maybe this time, brother can bring us a sister-in-law! What do you think, sister?"
"...I don't care." Enya avoided the question after hearing this. She didn't have anything to say about SilverAsh, but now that she was here, she was also very curious about what role her brother would play.
However, as in the movie, Vina slowly pushed the door open and walked into the dark room. With the light of a match, the image of Silver Gray, who was lying on the bed, was slowly revealed.
At that moment, with the firelight and the opening of the curtains, the sunlight slowly shone on his body, and the silver-gray image at this moment directly shattered the fantasies of the two girls.
