"But, unfortunately, that's not why I came to find you. Even if you are very mysterious and may know many truths that I don't know, which my parents cannot even obtain in their lifetime, I don't want to exchange the news about the starry sky from you."
"The truth only makes sense if I explore it myself. Only if I witness it and think it is what it is, can I not distort the original meaning of the starry sky. I don't need others to relay it, because it will affect my own enthusiasm and judgment."
"——Besides, I'm afraid Director Chen Qi doesn't make money from the starry sky theme. There are very few people in this world who are interested in the starry sky."
Kristen's words revealed her own pride, and she was not "fawning" on Chen Qi like those women like Abrana just because of Chen Qi's prominent status and mysterious background. She was a person with her own pride.
"This time, I want you to help me find someone to try to persuade her to change her mind... Even if it's useless, I still want to meet her and have a good talk with her."
When this person was mentioned, Christen's words showed some tenderness for the first time. And Chen Qi also immediately thought of who that person was.
The only person who could make Commander Kesliteng so helpless yet want to meet her is probably Saria, right?
Is this chief treating him as a missing person notice? But the problem is that Chen Qi doesn't know where Saria has gone, not to mention that the Saria trap has nothing to do with him? You should hang up Charmander, so that Saria will have a chance to show up.
But before Chen Qi and Christen could discuss this topic in detail, on the other side, the Duke of Wellington, whom Chen Qi had met before, came to the group and said to Chen Qi:
"Director Chen Qi, Victoria has something that only you can do. I want to ask you for a favor. Please don't refuse."
"Victoria needs your strength now. If you are willing to help, Victoria's friendship will repay you when necessary in the future."
...Are you guys vying to find me to act in a movie? Although Chen Qi has no shortage of movies to act in now, facing the two clients, Christen finally took a step back silently to show his concession, and Chen Qi nodded to the Duke of Wellington.
"Of course, but what does Your Excellency the Duke wish to discuss?"
"——Regarding the second season of Yes, Prime Minister, Director Chen Qi."
However, the Duke of Wellington smiled slightly, and his words stunned everyone present except Chen Qi for a moment... because everyone knew how huge the hostile effect of the name of this work was in today's Terra continent.
And Chen Qi has just decided to keep a low profile for a while... It seems that Victoria does not intend to give Chen Qi this opportunity. They want to strike while the iron is hot.
Chapter 121: "Yes, Prime Minister" Season Confirmed
"Yes, Prime Minister Season 2? Does the Eighth Duke of Victoria really think this is a good idea during this special period?"
Chen Qi and his party followed the Duke of Wellington to his private residence. Before finding Chen Qi, the Duke of Wellington had apparently already consulted with the other seven dukes, so he could make the decision this time.
However, this decision made Chen Qi very confused - Victoria had just solved the external threat. Although their national policy is now considered a progressive country in Terra, the internal troubles have not been solved yet. There is a lot of work to be done and everything needs to be rebuilt. Why would they shoot "Yes, Prime Minister" at this time?
Aren't they afraid of inviting Ursus or Casimir over? If a fight breaks out, Victoria won't be able to hold on, right?
"Don't worry, we have taken all aspects into consideration when making this decision." The Duke of Wellington did not shy away from anything. Now, not only Chen Qi and Abrana, but even Tallulah, Nian, and Christen, the representative of Colombia, are here.
Obviously, this was not confidential information. Even the Duke of Wellington and others hoped that the news would spread more and more widely, even to Ursus, so as to cause chaos for these guys.
"After this war, although Victoria suffered heavy losses, we are still the victorious country. Ursus is unwilling to pay war reparations and believes that it has not been defeated. However, their troops in Duolun County have completely retreated, and the Third Army is only stationed on the border and dares not move again."
"According to our spies, Ursus is in chaos right now. This defeat has made the conflict between the old nobles and the new nobles more acute. Once the old nobles with great military achievements are replaced by the new nobles..."
Speaking of this, the Duke of Wellington, who had participated in the war against Gaul and had fought Ursus more than once, also said with a smile:
"I don't want to comment on anything, but it's clear that these new nobles who have never fought a war, at least in the eyes of an old man like me, are no more difficult to deal with than the old nobles."
"As for Casimir, there is even less need to worry about it. Although they won a small victory over us on the battlefield, it was only because they withdrew in time. Otherwise, they would not have the courage to challenge Victoria, who had just caught her breath."
"We were able to defend our homeland against both countries before. If Casimir dares to come again, we will make them pay a heavy price."
"——What's more, we hope that Director Chen Qi will shoot "Yes, Prime Minister" just to embarrass the two countries of Casimir and Ursus."
The Duke of Wellington smiled slightly. Obviously, the eight dukes represented by him have now regarded Chen Qi's "Yes, Prime Minister" as a strategic propaganda weapon, and it is a particularly effective one, which can cause internal strife among the other side from all aspects.
Victoria had tasted the huge influence of "Yes, Prime Minister" and even suffered backlash from the show. Now, the eight dukes intend to let their enemies also taste the spiciness and sharpness of the show.
"No, no, no, I mean, there's no problem with the second season of Yes, Prime Minister - but my Lords, are you sure that this show won't cause harm to Victoria now?"
But Chen Qi shook his head. This seemed to be the first time someone asked him to film a movie and he tried his best to refuse. Because of the last time he accidentally broke Victoria's heart, Chen Qi had some psychological trauma.
Especially since "Yes, Prime Minister" mocks Victoria, not Casimir or Ursus's regime. Isn't this a practice of hurting yourself 10 points and the enemy 8 points?
"This proves that our new government has drawn a clear line between itself and the previous Victorian government. We want our people to have confidence in our government."
However, Duke Wellington was very confident about Chen Qi's concerns, and said in a very natural tone:
"Now, the satirical Yes, Prime Minister, which satirizes our old Victorian government, can serve as a wake-up call for us at this critical moment, allowing us to see why Victoria went from prosperity to decline."
But the problem is that the system of the country mocked in "Yes, Prime Minister" is the one you just improved and think is an advanced system!
Chen Qi didn't know how to tell Duke Wellington that constitutional monarchy was a relatively retro political system in his world. However, for most countries on the Terra continent, which were still monarchies or even unable to establish monarchies, it was difficult for him to tell them what was more promising...
"...Do you really want to film it? Let me be clear, my sarcasm may be a bit sharp." Chen Qi asked again tentatively, clearing himself of the final responsibility.
"It doesn't matter at all. This is the permission we Victoria has given you. Go ahead, Director Chen Qi."
"This time we will fully support your filming of "Yes, Prime Minister". We will fully cooperate with your filming location and actors. I have also discussed this matter with the Sarkaz Regent, and he is very supportive."
The Duke of Wellington turned the conversation to Tracy, who nodded and said calmly:
"For this filming, Sarkaz will naturally cooperate with the arrangements of our allies. Moreover, since it is a TV series of Sarkaz's friends, we will naturally help."
In addition, Tracy was concerned about one other thing... that was that today, the Blood Demon Lord and himself were nominated at the same time, but the "Best Performance Award" was won by the Blood Demon Lord, which made Tracy feel uneasy.
Don't get me wrong, Tracys is not so bored as to be competitive over this small issue...but the Blood Demon Lord is indeed not suitable to show the current image of the Sarkaz. His blood demon image is too deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and can easily cause panic among the residents of Victoria about the Sarkaz.
Originally, Tracy had prepared a speech of thanks, hoping to use this opportunity to change the stereotype of the Sarkaz among the people of Victoria. However, this speech of thanks was not used, and the best opportunity to change the image of the Sarkaz was missed.
Then, we can only look forward to the second year. Now that Chen Qi has agreed to the second season of "Yes, Prime Minister", Tracy has once again seen the opportunity, the opportunity for the Sarkaz people to integrate into Victorian society.
Kazdel and Victoria have a long-term cooperative relationship. In the next 20 to 30 years, both the Tresis and the Sarkaz Corps will be stationed in Victoria. It is obviously not possible to continue to rule Londinium as before. The Sarkaz must learn to integrate into modern society.
Therefore, he had to restrain the Sarkaz, and "Yes, Prime Minister" was another good opportunity. Even if there was no requirement to mess up Victoria at the beginning, it was still a good opportunity for Tracys and others to become familiar to the people of Victoria.
When Chen Qi saw Tracys, the Duke of Wellington and others saying this, he nodded and said:
"In that case, I will respectfully obey your command."
"I understand. We will go to Londinium tomorrow, and everyone in our crew will also go there to prepare for the filming of the second season of "Yes, Prime Minister"."
"It's a pleasure to work with you, Director Chen Qi. This time, Victoria will carry forward your masterpiece!"
After getting Chen Qi's permission, the Duke of Wellington also shook hands with Chen Qi very enthusiastically. At this time, Christen said lightly:
"Then, Director Chen Qi and His Excellency the Duke, you wouldn't mind if I go to Londinium too, right?"
"I plan to take Director Chen Qi and his crew to Colombia after the filming of Yes, Prime Minister is finished. This may save us a lot of time."
Hmm? Is your Rhine life so empty? Chen Qi was also a little surprised. Of course, he had no objection, but he thought that a strong woman like Christen should be a workaholic, right?
However, the second half of the sentence revealed Christen's true purpose. The strong woman only said calmly:
"During this period, I will stay with Director Chen Qi, hoping that Director Chen Qi can customize the script according to my needs, and I hope that we can implement our filming plan in Colombia immediately after the filming of "Yes, Prime Minister" is completed."
"That... is of course no problem. As for the script, as long as Director Chen Qi has no problem with it, that's fine."
The Duke of Wellington did not want to stop Christen, after all, writing the script was Chen Qi's job. However, when Christen said this, Tallulah, who was still watching the show, could no longer sit still. She came directly to Chen Qi's side and said to Christen:
"You seem to take scriptwriting too lightly, Miss Christen."
"Chen Qi is responsible for the script of the second season of "Yes, Prime Minister", which is already very difficult. During this period of time, he has to be responsible for the script writing of two episodes a week and supervise the filming. He doesn't have extra time to write a script for you."
"He is a human being, not a script-writing machine. Your request is a bit too much."
"Yeah, how can you write a script so quickly? Otherwise, do you want me to write one for you?" Lian Nian couldn't bear it anymore. Although he didn't get angry at the moment, he said to Christen in a somewhat strange tone:
"My director Nian's script is very good. It will definitely give you a big surprise."
"No need, I only trust Director Chen Qi's ability." Christen also felt that what Tallulah and Nian said made sense, but she was also very anxious at the moment. She didn't know whether Saria was still in Columbia, but the longer she delayed, the smaller the possibility would be, and she couldn't wait any longer.
"I will wait patiently until the day when Director Chen Qi writes a script that meets my expectations."
"Until that day comes, no matter where Director Chen Qi and his crew go, I will choose to follow them, strive to waste less time, and get everyone to Colombia as soon as possible. This should be my freedom."
In order to find Saria as soon as possible, Christen was determined to win over Chen Qi this time. Compared with Saria, the general's face was no choice.
She originally thought that she would part ways with her old friend from then on, but the appearance of Chen Qi gave Christen a glimmer of hope...especially after witnessing that both the Sarkaz and the Sakota tribes were protecting Chen Qi, she felt that this possibility was even more likely.
Even the relationship between the two tribes that were mortal enemies could be repaired because of him, so it shouldn't be a problem for him to help write a script to repair the relationship between her and Saria, right?
Chapter 122: Our first episode today will be about party struggles!
"So, we need to bring Miss Christen with us during the following filming?"
"…There's nothing we can do about it. We don't have the right to tell her where to go, right? Besides, she's not the only one following us."
Chen Qi had already informed everyone in the art troupe who was still in Rhodes Island about the filming of the second season of "Yes, Prime Minister", and asked them to drive the land ship to Londinium as soon as possible. As for Chen Qi, he was ready to go the next day, and he and Tracy and his party came to Londinium again.
However, it wasn't just Tracy and Christen who came with Chen Qi and his group... Also coming to Londinium this time were the Duke of Wellington and Abrana, as well as a large Victorian army.
Obviously, given the current cooperative relationship between Victoria and the Sarkaz, it is no longer a good idea for Londinium to continue to lend its rule to the Sarkaz. Although the eight dukes have already acquiesced, when the Sarkaz leave in the future, Londinium will probably take away a lot of things including the foundation. By then, it would be good enough to leave them a layer of city walls...
But no matter what, Londinium is still the capital of Victoria. The defense of the capital cannot be controlled by the Sarkaz, so it is inevitable to send the Victorian army to take over.
As for the fragmented buildings and the air fleet that the Sarkaz are building with Victorian civilians...all I can say is that the things of cooperative bad guys are more useful than those of uncooperative good guys, so they just turned a blind eye.
After all, it's not finished yet, right? Sooner or later, these things will be moved to Kazdel's own mobile city, and for the local residents of Londinium, they will have work to do again...
"But speaking of which, the atmosphere in Londinium seems to have changed a lot since the last time I came here."
No, it's better to say that the atmosphere has changed. It should be said that the local residents have gradually adapted to the management model of the Sarkaz, right? Chen Qi looked at the now brand new Londinium. When they came here before, they could still see many ruins, but now those ruins have been cleared, and many new buildings and stores have been completed.
As for the streets, they were not busy, but one could see a lot of activities of the residents of Londinium. They no longer had the initial fear of the occasional passing Sarkaz patrols, and gradually adapted to the presence of these Sarkaz.
"After you left, Director Chen Qi, we revised many of Lentinim's original policies. After many calculations and arrangements, we found the most efficient working hours and the method to minimize riots and strikes."
Next to Chen Qi, Tracy seemed indifferent to the fact that the Victorian Army would take over the city's defense and the Sarkaz Corps would be responsible for the supervision of the city.
Tracy was not worried about the city defense. Rather, given the current combat effectiveness of the Sarkaz stationed in Londinium, it would be really funny if Victoria thought that one army could suppress them.
Everything in Londinium has already been infiltrated by the Sarkaz. It seems that a large part of the control has been taken away, but in fact, if the Sarkaz want to take it back, it is still within their reach. The only difference is that their attitude towards Victoria is cooperation, so they have to give the "master" some due respect.
But look at the eight dukes, except for the Duke of Wellington who is in charge of supervision this time, who dares to come to Londinium? They obviously know this.
Before the Sarkaz left Londinium, no matter how this mobile city was governed, it was still the Sarkaz's base.
"We have promulgated a new management policy in the area. The Sarkaz will no longer terrorize the local residents. We have established several taverns and require that the Sarkaz and the residents of Londinium should not have conflicts in public."
"Also, we asked some Sarkaz mercenaries to help the local residents rebuild the destroyed parts of Londinium... Through various methods, we have only recently made the local residents adapt to the Sarkaz management methods."
Tracy also lamented the difficulties along the way, but this time when he tried to manage Londinium himself, Tracy seemed to have learned a lot. Just digesting the first season of "Yes, Prime Minister" made Tracy gain a lot, so now that Chen Qi is coming, he is the one he is most looking forward to.
No one is more eager to learn more from the second season of Yes, Prime Minister than Tresis.
"Director Chen Qi, I am looking forward to seeing how much surprise you will bring us this time."
"——That's right. We are all looking forward to your performance this time, Director Chen Qi."
As soon as Tracy finished speaking, the Duke of Wellington came to Chen Qi with a smile. In fact, the eight dukes were also paying attention to the filming of the second season of "Yes, Prime Minister".
Although they have discovered the correct usage of this drama and intend to use it as a strategic propaganda weapon to expose demons, appease the people and disgust the enemy, the dukes are still a little worried that Chen Qi's overly sharp writing style will touch their seemingly relaxed but actually tense nerves.
"When I was on the land ship earlier, I saw Director Chen Qi was already busy with the script. Can you tell me about the content of the first and second episodes of the second season of Yes, Prime Minister before the filming?"
"Ah, no problem." Chen Qi agreed readily, which made the Duke of Wellington and Abrana breathe a sigh of relief, but the next second, Chen Qi's words made them feel the coldness of falling from heaven to the bottom of the valley.
"Most of the second season focuses on national affairs, namely political struggles, diplomacy, local government power and democracy issues, etc."
"In the first episode, we're talking about employment and the power struggle in the civil service system—Oh! Your Excellency the Duke, be careful not to fall!"
"Ahem, it's okay, it's okay..."
However, Chen Qi just casually revealed the government's biggest secrets, intending to reveal them all in the first episode, which really scared the Duke of Wellington.
But in comparison, the two "good students" Abrana and Tracy had their eyes shining, and it was obvious that they were extremely interested in such topics.
"Director Chen Qi's courage is truly amazing. He brought out such a major drama in the first episode." The Duke of Wellington also nodded, resisting the urge to shout "bold", and continued:
"This is also the first time I've watched the filming of a work like this. I remember Director Chen Qi said before that you would record the laughter on the set into the TV series, right?"
"Then I will join in this time. Abrana and I will watch from the backstage. Director Chen Qi, please give it your all."
"Also, please rest assured that we will not forget your compensation. After the filming of "Yes, Prime Minister" is completed, Victoria will give you a salary that will definitely not disappoint you."
The Duke of Wellington knew very well that at Chen Qi's level, things like gold, silver, jewelry and titles would hardly shake his mind. He agreed now probably only because he wanted to maintain the close relationship between him and Sarkaz, and Sarkaz would definitely give Chen Qi a reward that matched his payment.
Victoria certainly wouldn't fall behind in this regard. She had heard that Director Chen Qi and his crew would ask for mineral sickness inhibitors as compensation, but this trick obviously didn't work now...
As for what to give, the Duke of Wellington and several other dukes had already discussed it and decided that something "useless but of great significance" would be enough.
As for filming, since Chen Qi has been promised and allowed to play freely, no matter how dangerous the topic is, the Duke of Wellington has to accept it... After all, the people of Victoria now need confidence in the government, and "Yes, Prime Minister" is the best way.
Even if we might lose eight hundred of our own men... as long as we can kill a thousand of them on Ursus and Casimir, it will be enough!
After the Duke of Wellington and the others said goodbye, Christen silently chose to leave with them and went backstage to wait for the filming. On the other side, Chen Qi saw the Blood Demon Lord and Manfred, the two "old friends" were walking over with smiles.
"Director Chen Qi, Friend of the Sarkaz, on behalf of all the Sarkaz, we welcome you to work with us again." Manfred seemed more enthusiastic, perhaps he really regarded Chen Qi as a friend of the Sarkaz, and his tone was a little more intimate.
