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

However, the joint construction of this building did not reduce the family disputes in the city as expected. Instead, everyone wanted this magnificently decorated city conference hall as their own territory... and now, it has become the shooting location for Chen Qi to shoot the next set of shots, and it has been put to meaningful use for the first time.

As for why Chen Qi and his group only came in the afternoon... it was because in the morning, Chen Qi and his group were still filming another scene in the manor. In the movie, the Godfather's most proud godson "Johnny" came from afar to support the wedding and also to seek help from the Godfather.

It turned out that Johnny, a famous singer, had a weakened voice due to his undisciplined lifestyle, so he wanted to transform himself from a singer to an actor. He saw a script that was tailor-made for him, and wanted to make a comeback with it.

However, the boss of the film company did not let Johnny get his wish because of personal grudge. He went to the Godfather for help, but was scolded by the Godfather.

"You have to act like a man!"

The Godfather, played by Mrs. Sicily, showed anger for the first time and even slapped Johnny in the face, which scared Johnny and Texas and others who were watching the scene.

This slap was not in the script, but was improvised by Mrs. Sicily. However, this slap made Texas, Chizui and Shiye feel that the "father" valued the godson in front of him.

It was a loving beating, and therefore an expression of disappointment.

"What happened to you?"

"How did you become a Colombian sissy? You cry like a woman." Mrs. Sicily grabbed the confused Johnny and turned him around. Her movements were a bit rough, but full of kindness.

"Ha-ha, what should I do? What should I do?"

"--What a joke! That's ridiculous." Mrs. Sicily's imitation instantly dissipated the originally heavy atmosphere, and even made Texas on the other end laugh.

Unconsciously, she felt that the image of the Sicilian Lady in front of her seemed to become three-dimensional. She gradually felt that this Sicilian Lady in men's makeup was a real "person", not the high-handed and unpredictable Sicilian Lady.

At this moment, in the camera, the waiter who had just entered the house was also looked at by Mrs. Sicily, who suddenly asked an irrelevant question:

"Do you take time to spend with your family?"

"Of course I do." Johnny answered without hesitation. At this moment, the expression on Mrs. Sicily's face finally eased and she said something that made the three people's hearts tremble slightly.

"Very good. A man who doesn't take time to spend with his family isn't really a man."

And with these words, unknowingly, Mrs. Sicily's image in the eyes of her three "children" once again became three-dimensional... Their relationship, just as Chen Qi had expected, was slowly being built up through their daily words and deeds.

Back to the current plot, Tom, played by Chizui, found the boss of the film company and hoped to persuade him to let Johnny participate, but was insulted and expelled. However, even so, Chizui did not attack immediately, but waited for the other party to understand his identity.

As expected, on the second day in the plot, after learning that Chi Zui was the owner of the film company working for the Godfather, he invited him to his home, which was the city conference hall where Chen Qi and his team were currently filming.

"It was originally used to decorate the palace." Rubio, who plays the role of the film company owner who refuses Johnny's participation, is taking Johnny to visit this magnificent "palace". He also takes Johnny to visit his personal hobby - racing camels.

“Come and see something really beautiful.”

"I suppose you have good taste?"

Rubio performed the vanity of the movie company boss vividly. At this moment, in the camel stable, an assistant led out a tall and majestic racing camel. Its fur was shining even in the slightly gloomy environment, showing the excellence of its bloodline.

"This racing camel is worth six hundred thousand - I dare say that even Emperor Ursus has never spent so much money on a racing camel."

"Datong." Rubio called the name of the racing camel infatuatedly. At this moment, his character was portrayed extremely vividly with just a few shots.

"A vain, self-respecting, yet arrogant beast in human clothing." Backstage, Texas, who had no role in the play, saw through the personality traits of the character played by Rubio at a glance.

"Is this the behavior of a big boss in the film industry?" Siye couldn't help but shook his head and said calmly, "I finally understand why some people forget themselves after becoming famous."

"No, besides showing off, he was actually sending a signal to Tom (condemning the crime)."

Mrs. Sicily, the most sophisticated of the group, also saw through the other party's true thoughts and said calmly: "He is showing off his wealth, so expressing his wealth means that he will not be bought by Tom's money."

"Obviously, Tom's matter this time cannot end peacefully... Am I right, Director Chen Qi?"

"Absolutely right, you are worthy of being the Lady of Sicily." Chen Qi, who was concentrating on observing the camera feedback, could not help but nod in admiration.

"...Will he really do that? Knowing that Tom is working for the Godfather, he actually dares to refuse a second time?"

Siye found it a little unbelievable, and although Texas didn't say anything, she obviously had the same attitude. Both of them only had their own stories, so they knew nothing about this part of the story and could only guess based on their feelings.

But soon, as the filming continued, the plot turned out to be just as Mrs. Sicily said. The character played by Rubio became furious and explained to the accused why he targeted Johnny.

"Johnny Fontane has ruined the company's most valuable actress! We spent five years training her, teaching her to sing, act, and dance. I invested countless amounts of money in her! I intended to make her a big star!"

"She is young, beautiful and innocent! I have women all over the world, and she is the best among them!"

"Then he showed up with his amazing voice, used his charm and kidnapped her - which was very embarrassing for me!"

"A person of my status cannot be insulted like this!"

"Get out of here right now!"

After the play was over, Chizui was scolded by Rubio but he showed no signs of getting angry and just left silently. However, Chizui's reaction made Siye and Texas understand that this man was dead.

"Too stupid... He actually made enemies with a powerful person like the Godfather just for a woman." Siye also shook his head. Texas didn't think so and said lightly:

"But if we kill him, Johnny won't be able to accomplish his goal, so we should try to intimidate him... I just don't know what method is best."

"Very good, there is progress." After hearing what Texas said, Mrs. Sicily praised with a smile and agreed with Texas' guess.

"So, this set of shots is over. Will tomorrow be the end of filming Revenge?"

"Yes, everyone may have to get up early tomorrow, and the filming may start in the morning."

At this moment, after Chen Qi said through the intercom that this set of shots had passed, he turned his head and smiled at the few people and said:

"Before tomorrow's filming, we will notify you one hour in advance, so go to bed early tonight."

"Oh, by the way, Junjun, go tell Mr. Rubio that he acted very well and he can finish filming tomorrow. Thank him for his performance."

"Okay." At this moment, the King Slayer, who obviously knew the following plot, had a cunning look in his eyes and disappeared like a ghost.

Texas and Siye, who noticed all this, didn't know what Chen Qi's purpose was. Only Lady Sicily, considering the camel head brought by the crew, seemed to have thought of something and a mysterious smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"It seems... I have to pray that Mr. Rubio won't faint from fright tomorrow."

……

The next morning, Rubio, who was sleeping in the guest room of the city conference hall, had no idea what Chen Qi and the others had conspired the day before. He was sleeping soundly at the moment and did not notice that equipment and filming personnel had already been arranged around him to blend into the environment.

"Alright - Mephisto, use your Originium skills to wake up Mr. Rubio."

"Okay, Brother Chen Qi."

Outside the door, Mephisto showed a devilish smile and began to manipulate his Originium skills into the room as if in a mischievous way.

Mephisto's Originium technique can stimulate the Originium in the Terran people. Most Terrans have some degree of mineral sickness, and it is only the degree that distinguishes the infected and the non-infected. Mephisto's Originium technique, through meticulous manipulation, can stimulate but not spread the disease.

Soon, under Mephisto's Originium skill, the sleeping Rubio woke up unknowingly. However, Rubio, who had just woken up, was suddenly nervous - he thought he had overslept and missed today's show.

But soon, Rubio felt something was wrong... Why was his lower body sticky and wet?

Rubio was a little suspicious. Although he was a little old, he was not so old that he would wet the bed. But soon, as Rubio stretched out his hand, he saw the dark red blood on his hand.

...Blood? Why is there blood on the bed?

Rubio was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously pulled open his bed. As he moved, the bloodstains under the bed became more and more obvious, making him tense again.

"Wow."

With the final burst of light, the nervous Rubio saw the most terrifying threat he had ever experienced in his life!

——A severed head of a racing camel was lying at his feet, still oozing blood.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"

The next moment, the room was filled with horrific screams of the most primitive fear and terror, lingering in the city conference hall.

What is even more horrifying is the deeper meaning brought by the head of this racing camel beast... In his own territory, someone could actually quietly chop off the head of his beloved racing camel beast and send it to his bed.

If the other party really wants to kill me, then the next head to be chopped off... will it be him?

This is the most realistic, but by no means the only, terrorist threat shown by the Mafia. The Mafia's methods, terrorist rule and the threat to anyone's life and safety are vividly displayed in this set of shots, enough to shock anyone.

And this shot will definitely become a famous scene that shocked Syracuse in the future. This is the first time that a movie has brought such a realistic mafia-style threat to the big screen.

The shock this brings is definitely no less than any intense gun battle or fight, and this is the "real" charm of this movie.

Chapter 10: The assassination scene of Lady Sicily?

"I now understand what you mean by the real reaction..."

A few days later, Tallulah was supervising the editing of the filmed footage. When she saw Rubio, who was almost insane because of the racing camel's head on the screen, she couldn't help but shook her head and said to Chen Qi:

"You scared him really badly. Luckily we prepared a medical team in advance. Thanks to the Originium skills of several medical operators, he recovered. Otherwise, he would have had a heart attack."

"Then everyone may have to get used to it. The following scenes will become tense, and I'm afraid there will be many scenes that will cause the actors to suffer cardiopulmonary arrest."

Chen Qi has also been busy with recent things. The recent scenes have been quite intense, and all the shots related to the wedding have not been completed yet. Shooting such large scenes has always been very difficult.

Fortunately, the wedding shooting is about to come to an end, and the "couple" Texas and Kong are starting to cooperate better. The relationship between Texas himself, Mrs. Sicily, as well as Shiye and Chizui, has improved a little during the shooting.

Although Texas still felt a little awkward towards Mrs. Sicily, Chen Qi thought it was a good idea - after all, at the beginning of the movie "The Godfather", when the second-generation Godfather came to the wedding in military uniform, it was already shown that his attitude towards his family and his own father was still a little awkward.

Therefore, Chen Qi feels that Texas has perfectly portrayed this contradictory feeling of wanting to draw a line between himself and his family, but having to admit that this is his home.

In the latest plot, in addition to the wedding scene, the role that Chen Qi had promised to Croissant has also appeared - Sollozzo, a drug lord nicknamed "Minoan". She negotiated with the Godfather played by Mrs. Sicily, hoping that the Godfather would provide financial and legal assistance to facilitate her drug trafficking, but was rejected by the Godfather.

However, in this plot, Sonny, played by Siye, became interested in the profits brought by this dirty business and even interrupted the Godfather's words, causing Sollozzo, who did not understand the Syracuse family concept and had no moral bottom line, to believe that Sonny was trying to get promoted.

Therefore, he joined forces with the Tattaglia family, who had a vested interest in him, and designed an assassination against the Godfather, so that it would be easier for Sonny to cooperate with him after he took over...

"However, it seems that you only gave the script to Mrs. Sicily and didn't show it to everyone." Tallulah also looked up at Chen Qi, and seemed to realize something, and asked in a somewhat horrified tone:

"...You plan to have them perform an unexpected reaction, as if it were a real assassination scene?"

"Why not?" Chen Qi also waved his hand. In order to include everyone's real reactions as part of the performance this time, he could be said to have maximized the advantages of his crew.

A normal film crew would not have a full set of tactical equipment like theirs for filming, so if you don’t observe carefully, it would be difficult for others to notice even after filming starts. Only those with extraordinary abilities would feel something is wrong.

However, Lady Sicily knew the script in advance, but no one else did, which resulted in the "assassination" in this play appearing to be real in the eyes of others.

"I specifically asked Texas and his team to shoot in two different locations with Lady Sicily to ensure that Texas would not know in advance that Lady Sicily had been 'assassinated'."

"When the time comes, we'll put the fake newspaper out there and let Texas see it by accident. Then she'll know what to do next."

"...You will scare all the Syracuse family members into silence by doing this." Tallulah didn't know how to evaluate Chen Qi's role for a moment. This could be said to be a real assassination plan. If Chen Qi really planned to assassinate Lady Sicily, he could completely use this information gap to kill Lady Sicily in the next scene.

Should I say that Lady Sicily actually agreed? It was really unexpected. Did she really believe that Chen Qi would not harm her?

"Don't worry, the assassination scene this time is all performed by our own crew members. All the firearms are toy-type. Lady Sicily not only has a bulletproof vest but also a blood bag, so there will be no mistakes."

Chen Qi naturally knew that it was very easy to "fake it and make it real" when filming such assassination scenes in Syracuse, so he let everyone from the Integrated Art Troupe perform each assassination scene and did not dare to use anyone from other families.

"Well, get ready. I'm going to call Mrs. Sicily and tell her that she can start acting."

"...I hope Giovanna won't be really scared." Tallulah couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook her head for the only "bodyguard" beside Lady Sicily at the moment.

……

After a while, on the other side, Mrs. Sicily received Chen Qi's communication message and couldn't help but smile. She turned and walked out of the door. At the door, a Rupert girl with long golden hair was waiting for her.

"Let's go, Fredo."

"Okay, Dad."

The Lupert girl waiting for Lady Sicily at the door is named "Giovanna Rossetti". She is also a former head of the family, but she has now abdicated and become a screenwriter.

After her family returned to Syracuse from Columbia, they brought the technology to build mobile cities, and thus obtained one of the seats in the twelve families. By the way, she was also a good friend of Texas when he was in Columbia.

This time, Giovanna is one of the people Chen Qi brought in with the help of Texas. She plays the role of "Fredo", the godfather's second daughter, a somewhat timid and honest person who is not very suitable for being born in a Syracuse family.

Giovanna was very supportive of Chen Qi's "realistic" and "immersive" shooting, so she had no objection to calling Mrs. Sicily "Dad".

As a creator, she strictly abides by Chen Qi's rules and is always immersed in the role. She can be said to be a very dedicated actor.

——And now, Giovanna's professionalism will face the first test. She doesn't even know that the filming has started. She is still in a very relaxed state.

"Let Bao Li drive the car out." Mrs. Sicily recited the lines she had memorized long ago, but she knew that Bao Li would not show up.

"Paulie is sick today, let me drive, Dad." As expected, Giovanna answered without hesitation. Lady Sicily pretended to be surprised and said "Huh?", but Giovanna still answered easily:

"Paulie's a good kid, I don't mind driving it myself."

The reason why Giovanna was so unwary was because she didn't know that this was a play. On the other hand, the person who played "Pauli" was an actor from her family and had already informed her in advance.

On the other hand, now, because of the news that Lady Sicily will star in "The Godfather", the Sicily family has too many bodyguards behind the scenes. No one will attack Lady Sicily, so Giovanna doesn't need to worry about anything.

But now, what Giovanna didn't know was that her indifferent look, captured by the camera, was seen as complete negligence by the onlookers. The fact that a family boss had no bodyguards around him made people vaguely feel that something extremely bad would happen later.

……

Giovanna drove for a while. Lady Sicily, who was sitting in the back seat, looked around the street and thought it was almost time. She also asked:

“It’s been quite busy lately.”

"Yes, Dad, the holiday is coming soon and everyone is buying gifts." Giovanna answered easily, her eyes fixed on the front to prevent traffic accidents.

She didn't know that at this moment, Mrs. Sicily's eyes were fixed on everyone on the street. Soon, when she found a Sacotta and a figure similar to Luper, Mrs. Sicily knew that she had arrived at the shooting location.
