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

In order not to disrupt the performance of Texas and the others, Mrs. Sicily has not appeared in the crew these days. However, she is still watching everyone's performance backstage, smiling from time to time, with loving eyes, as if she is looking at her own child.

When Chen Qi arrived, Mrs. Sicily in the backstage looked over at him and immediately said:

"Director Chen Qi's filming was very precise. I think this filming was perfect."

"Whether it is perfect or not depends on the audience's satisfaction, but since you said so, Madam Sicily, I am relieved."

Chen Qi originally planned to invite Mrs. Sicily to dinner, but seeing the smiling face of the lady, Chen Qi couldn't help but ask tentatively:

"Ma'am, what do you think of Texas's performance just now?"

"As a killer, her performance is very immature, but as a family successor, she is already outstanding." Lady Sicily smiled lightly and gave her final evaluation of Texas, saying, "She will be an excellent godfather."

"Mrs. Sicily is treating everyone more and more like her own children now." Chen Qi couldn't help but tease her. Mrs. Sicily didn't deny it, but just said lightly:

"But after this movie, they will no longer be like this... Just think of it as an unfulfilled wish of an old woman like me, and make up for it in this way."

"You are getting into the role, Mrs. Sicily." Chen Qi sat down next to Mrs. Sicily. After spending some time together, Chen Qi's awe-inspiring attitude towards Mrs. Sicily turned into a closer one.

I don’t know if it’s because the character of the Godfather “Vito Corleone” has a subtle influence on Lady Sicily during the acting process, or maybe, dressing up as a man allows Lady Sicily to be more comfortable doing things that she wouldn’t normally do, and make her feel like a different person?

At least, the Lady of Sicily today has lost a lot of the majesty of the ruler of Syracuse. After the assassination scene was filmed, she has become more humane and more like... a "father".

"But if even you are immersed in the role, I believe that Chi Zui, Shi Ye, Texas and others will feel the same as you. You don't have to worry too much about losing them. Perhaps, you can directly become their 'godfather' in reality."

"……I will think about it."

Upon hearing this, Lady Sicily did not refuse immediately, but nodded slightly.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door. Before Chen Qi could answer, he saw a person with a halo unique to Sakota sticking out of the door, followed by beautiful red hair.

"Director Chen Qi, are you in there? Ah! Madam Sicily is in there too!"

"...Exia, why are you here?"

Chen Qi was also curious as to why the Angel of Power would find him, but the Angel of Power, who couldn't hide his thoughts, immediately explained his purpose after entering the room:

"Director Chen Qi, didn't we agree that we all have our parts and there will also be a thrilling gunfire scene? Why hasn't it started yet?"

"Where's the gun I want? Where's the gunfight scene I want? I want to shoot a gun!"

Angel Neng complained to Chen Qi in a very dissatisfied manner. Obviously, she was resenting Chen Qi's "unfair treatment" during this period. She was obviously looking forward to acting the most, so why didn't her needs be met!

"After all, according to the script, other species except pure Syracusans are not allowed to join the family. The same is true for Sakota - even if there are, most of them are family assassins."

Chen Qi looked at the Angel helplessly and said, "I was going to give you the position of the assassin who killed Lady Sicily, so that you could use the gun happily, but you refused."

"Of course, after all, I like this family."

Angelica really likes the cherishment of family and family members conveyed in the movie "The Godfather". She especially likes the role of "Sonny" played by Siye. She thinks that although this eldest brother has a bad temper, is curious and irritable, he is truly a good man who protects the family from wind and rain.

Especially in an earlier scene, when Carlo, played by Lapland's father, abused his wife and his brother, Siye, grabbed the man and beat him up, Exia admitted that she liked this role very much and said that she also hoped to have such a brother.

Lappland was also very happy, especially since Siye was really emotional at the time and broke three of her father's ribs. Lappland laughed louder than anyone else.

"I don't care. I will definitely participate next time there is a gunfight!"

“…That’s what you said.”

When Chen Qi saw that Angelica started to act like a rogue in front of him, he wanted to say that it was not that he didn't give her a chance, but that Angelica herself did not have the strong professional qualities of an actor like Croissant - although she was not an actor to begin with.

However, since Archangel wanted a gunfight... there really was such a scene in his script.

"Sure. In my movie, there is only one large-scale gunfight. If you can play a cameo role in it, Angel, I will definitely let you have a blast with guns."

"——But you must follow my instructions, understand?"

"Really?! Thank you so much!"

Upon hearing that she could finally have the gunfight she had been looking forward to for a long time, Angel Exia was extremely happy. Chen Qi laughed in agreement, but in his heart, a smile with a hint of evil taste was already revealed.

Because, in the next scene, Angel will definitely be able to shoot as much as she wants, but the target of the shooting... she probably doesn't want to know.

On the side, in Chen Qi’s plan, the title of the next scene was clearly written - "Sunny's Death".

Chapter 14: The finale of the night shoot, the most spectacular curtain call

"Ah... so boring, how long do we have to wait here before the filming starts?"

The next day, Angel Exia was dragged to the shooting location by Chen Qi early in the morning. At this moment, she was holding the prop guns personally handed to her by Mephisto from the props team, and was waiting for the gun fight she had been looking forward to for a long time in a bored manner.

Originally, Chen Qi promised her yesterday that he would let her participate in the most intense gunfire in the whole movie. Angel Exia didn't sleep well the whole night and was excited for a long time. She came without stopping as soon as Chen Qi called her in the morning.

As a result, I have been waiting since morning and it is almost dusk now, but why hasn’t the car that Mr. Chen Qi mentioned arrived yet?

"Be patient, young man."

Next to the Archangel, there was an old man who was also from the Sakota race. He wore a funny eye mask with open eyes painted on it. He seemed to be sleeping all the time, but he could always speak at the right time:

"Didn't Director Chen Qi say that they still have some scenes to shoot? I waited until the afternoon before I slowly walked over from the church."

"But it's really boring, Grandpa Agniel." In this short period of time, the Archangel has become familiar with the old grandfather next to him who is also from the Sakota tribe. Agniel also has a good impression of this lively girl from the same tribe, so he took off his blindfold and said with a smile:

"If you're bored, how about making a bet with me, old man?"

"Bet? Great, I like it!" When Angel of Power heard that there was an entertainment activity, he immediately became interested and asked, "What bet?"

"How about betting on the firearms that we Laterans are best at?" Agniel felt that the time was almost right. He recalled Chen Qi's previous instructions to him, and said to the Archangel without any sense of disobedience:

"We both put on blindfolds and shoot blindly. When the car arrives, we bet on who can hit the unlucky guy more times. What do you think?"

"Oh? Are you betting on this? Then you might lose miserably, old man!"

As a sniper operator of Penguin Logistics, Exia has always been confident in her accuracy. Although she uses two submachine guns and prefers fire suppression over accuracy, but... doesn't it mean accuracy if she shoots more often?

Although the model in her hand, a toy gun called a "violin typewriter", is definitely not as convenient as her own, she is still confident that she can beat an old man in terms of accuracy.

"Then we have a deal. We are all in sync with each other. We can also feel which shot was fired by us. No cheating!"

"Whoever hits more will treat him to a high-end pizza today!"

"No problem, as long as it doesn't have pineapples in it." Agniel smiled slightly, and then immediately noticed a car speeding towards him not far away.

And that is their goal.

"Okay, it's time to put on the blindfold. Remember, I won't let you take it off. You must not take it off."

……

Not far away, the person who drove here personally was none other than Shiye, who played the role of the eldest brother Sonny. At the moment, he looked a little angry because of a previous scene.

In the previous scene, Carlo, played by Laplander's father, once again abused his sister in the movie, and Siye watched the entire scene.

Playing a role that values ​​family during this period has made Siye feel more and more the importance of family affection. He feels that he is slowly integrating into the role of "Sunny". He still sees many precious things in this impulsive, irritable and lustful man.

Just like what Madame Sicily said, “A man who doesn’t take time out for his family isn’t really a man.”

What Shiye learned from the character of Sunny is that as the eldest brother of the family, he must stand up and take all responsibilities when necessary, and... cherish his family.

And now, this domestic violence scene by Lapland's father has to be said to have irritated Siye's nerves - after all, his sister in the play is still pregnant!

"*rude Syracuse swear*, you're dead!"

Siye drove to a toll station according to the plot. He didn't know what was waiting for him ahead. In order to achieve the best shooting effect, Chen Qi had to keep Siye ignorant of the plot he had just finished filming.

Si Ye had no idea that his next scene would be his last, and he had no idea what a grand farewell Chen Qi had prepared for him.

Shiye finally drove to the toll station, and at this moment he hurriedly took out two banknotes and handed them to the staff. Seeing that a luxury car in front of him did not move forward, he anxiously cursed:

"Asshole, hurry up!"

Si Ye honked the horn, but the car in front not only did not continue to move forward, but instead moved backwards, blocking his car.

And at this moment, Si Ye felt something was wrong, and as the door of the Security Office suddenly closed, Si Ye suddenly realized something and hurriedly looked to the other side.

But what he saw were several assassins dressed in black and holding guns - and without exception, they were all from the Sakta tribe!

Siye's pupils shrank slightly at this moment, and he suddenly realized what the blood bags that Chen Qi asked him to wear were for while he was driving.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!!"

The Sakota tribe from all directions, without exception, fired at Siye in the car. Suddenly, Siye, whose blood bag was broken, became "covered with wounds".

But Siye himself was fine. He struggled to get out of the car. He was so angry that he even wanted to beat up the bastard who had abused his sister under the hail of bullets.

Obviously, Chen Qi himself had already thought of this. The moment Siye opened the car door, Archangel Exiah and Agnier, who were at this position, raised their guns and aimed at Siye.

"Bang, bang, bang, bang!!"

There was another round of gunfire. Even though Siye was not injured, he could still feel the force of the impact. He felt as if his whole body was falling apart and he was unable to move forward.

But even so, he still insisted on standing, as if he was angry at everything around him, and at this moment, he let out an unwilling roar:

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah!"

It was a roar that was three parts anger and seven parts frustration. He knew very well that if it was a planned street fight, even if the other side really had such firepower, he would be able to defeat them by design. He never thought that he would actually fall here and be beaten without any ability to fight back.

"Whoosh!"

Finally, accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, an anesthetic needle that came from nowhere pierced Shiye's neck. Shiye fell down completely powerlessly in a pool of blood.

On the other side, a member of the Sakota tribe also continued to walk forward, aimed at the "corpse" of Shiye, and fired again...

"Bang!" Finally, as if in revenge, he kicked Siye who had no signs of dying, and all the extras on the scene evacuated the scene as expected.

"Is it enjoyable?" Agnier pulled Archangel Exo for a distance, and asked only after he was sure that Archangel Exo could not see the "tragic scene" at the scene.

"It's so exciting! I love the thrill of charging and firing submachine guns the most!"

Archangel was still unsatisfied and tore off her blindfold, finally cheering happily. As a Sakota, nothing made Archangel more excited than strafing and explosions.

Now, even if it was just a cameo role, Angel was already satisfied. However, she still thought of something belatedly and turned around to ask:

"It's just that, Grandpa Agnier, who exactly are we fighting in the movie?"

"… is a bad guy, kid. Once he steps into the abyss of the Mafia, he is destined to be a bad guy."

Agnier was silent for a moment, without directly answering the question from the Angel of Power. He also cut off the thought sharing with the Angel of Power and smiled inconspicuously:

"Okay, let's go get some pizza, kid, you hit 48 shots, you win."

"Great! This is the first time I've hit so many targets. I'm sure the audience will love me when the movie comes out! I killed a bad guy!"

……

"Alright, Shiye is still unconscious, hurry up and get him into the car, we'll need his 'body' later."

Chen Qi immediately used the communication equipment to instruct everyone in the art troupe to pull the unconscious Shiye into the car. They had another scene to perform later, so Shiye's miserable state could not be cleared.

"This medicine can make Siye sleep well all day long." On the side, Frost Star replaced Tallulah's position and sat next to Chen Qi.

Tallulah has now been arranged by Chen Qi to shoot the scenes in Texas. In Texas, they are also filming the scene where she escapes from Colombia and takes refuge in the countryside of Syracuse. The progress of Tallulah and Chen Qi's scenes will proceed at the same time.

Therefore, Shuang Xing temporarily took on the job of assistant director. When she saw Si Ye's "extremely miserable death" in the camera, she couldn't help but frown and subconsciously asked:

"Chen Qi, you didn't tell Madam Sicily about this drama, did you?"

"How is that possible? Madam Sicily has read the entire script. How could she not know that Siye would definitely die?" Chen Qi shook his head and replied:

"The reason why we kept Shiye's 'corpse' was just to let Lady Sicily feel some emotion. Who knows, when Lady Sicily saw her 'child' in such a miserable state, her expression might be worthy of an Oscar or something..."

"...I have no idea what you're talking about, but you're pretty cruel just for the sake of filming."

Shuangxing also didn't understand what the "Oscar" that Chen Qi kept talking about was. In this land, even televisions were not widely available to the general public. Only a wealthy family could go to the cinema to watch a movie. Most people could not enjoy this treatment.

In this situation, there is no formal award at all, but Shuangxing knows that this "Oscar" is definitely a goal of Chen Qi and a synonym for reaching the pinnacle.

"I won't deny that as a director, I can be very 'cruel' to actors in order to achieve the best effect."

Chen Qi smiled lightly, then gently grasped Shuang Xing's hand and said word by word:

"But I am very gentle to each of our people, Froststar."

“…You.”

Facing the hand held by Chen Qi, Shuang Xing did not resist contact with him. Instead, she showed a smile as warm as spring breeze and nodded slightly.

She did not deny this. To everyone in the art troupe, Chen Qi was the most gentle person.

Chapter 15: Lady Sicily's excellent acting skills, the Godfather's silent crying

"I'm sorry, Chi Zui. You know, as a director, I have to achieve the best shooting effect, so I didn't give you the entire script."

Rebuke: "...I understand, Director Chen Qi, I will tell my father (Mrs. Sicily) the news."
