Chapter 326: A Story About the Church
The next day, accompanied by a group of people, Wang gradually entered another church.
"I only thought that the Vatican was a church, but I forgot that it was still a country with a special propaganda agency. β
So what level of treatment does it belong to when you pick up and drop off from the airport, and there are people taking pictures throughout the whole process?
Wang gradually looked left and right, pondering in his heart.
"Mr. Wang, this is the crown of Dalma, that is, the ornament under the crown of the first pope. β
whatοΌ
Wang Yan's eyes were through the glass, staring at the yellow object inside.
"If this thing is stolen, will it cause a sensation like the one described in The Da Vinci Code?"
After all... No matter how you look at it, it's worth more than the rag head that wrapped Jesus.
At this time, a low-ranking clergyman hurriedly walked over and said respectfully: "Mr. Wang, Your Excellency Cardinal, please. β
Wang gradually nodded, and walked away with the other party's footsteps.
He understands that the main drama is finally about to begin!
Just as the king was stepping into Peter's Basilica, a religious shrine, a man dressed in red appeared.
"Mr. Wang, what do you think of the Vatican?"
"Peaceful, serene. Wang gradually said politely: "It's still very artistic." β
Hearing this, the corners of the cardinal's mouth curled slightly.
Today, when Catholicism no longer has a strong binding force, there are not many means they can use against artists.
In addition to calling on believers to "murder with honor", there is probably only religious probation.
"Fortunately, in addition to being talented, talented artists also have the attribute of being easily infected by the external environment. β
Lianda?? After visiting the church's artworks, Vinci changed his style and painted the religious theme "The Last Supper".
"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang. The cardinal made a gesture of invitation, explaining in passing: "The works of art here are precious and are generally not exhibited to the public. β
Therefore, there is no professional commentary, so I can only introduce it to you. β
After the nail, the crown of thorns, the papillary, and the robe, the cardinal stood before a cross.
"This is true?? It was on the cross that Jesus was martyred and died for the salvation of all beings. β
"Of course," the cardinal shrugged, "it's just a meaningful object, and there's nothing magical about it. β
"Therefore, there is a high probability that there will be no holy light to stop King Arthur's mechanical sword. β
Belch...
Wang was stunned for a moment, and almost burst out laughing.
But on second thought, he understood the true intentions behind this bishop.
It is nothing more than saying that the things that I wrote with the heat of history are real.
If you continue to write about it, what will be the adverse effect on the church?
Then the Vatican can send someone to bring out the real thing to accuse Wang of talking nonsense.
Catholicism, even if it declines, is one of the three major religions in the world.
In the case of being stone-hammered, it is difficult to guarantee that there will not be any extremists who will give themselves such a shot.
The king groaned and took out a draft from his handbag.
"Your Excellency, this is my outline for the next part, could you please give us some guidance?"
"Heh, a smart man. The cardinal tugged at the corners of his mouth and took the paper.
But is it enough to give up "King Arthur" and write a new book?
Don't forget, there's The Da Vinci Code and The Pope!
But when he saw the content of the outline, his face changed slightly.
The protagonist of the outline in his hand is a little white boy who believes in Catholicism.
But one day, when he went to church, he was violated by a priest!
This...
The cardinal looked up and glanced at Wang Wan.
Wang gradually smiled and made a "please" gesture.
The cardinal lowered his head and continued to look at the manuscript paper.
I found that the content behind it is not like what I think of as "Orphans of the Fog", which is the growth history of a poor boy.
It's about how a boy climbed to the top of the church with a vengeful heart.
All right...
Whether it is the protagonist's various private transactions, or revenge on the former abuser, there is a kind of refreshing feeling unique to Wang Jian's works.
But aside from that, the core of this story is very dark.
Because that little boy grew up to middle age and became the bishop of a certain area, he actually had that disgusting quirk!
"The story of a knight who fought away from the dragon and then became a dragon again?" the cardinal closed the manuscript and closed his eyes.
"However, the background here is happening within the church!"
"That's right. Wang gradually smiled, and handed over another draft.
"That's what inspired me, an investigative report that was suppressed by American newspapers. β
"And," he thought for a moment, then handed over another form.
"This is the subscription data for King Arthur after the site resumes operations. Also, all my works are reported for sales in various channels. β
Wang gradually looked at the cardinal's increasingly ugly face and shrugged his shoulders.
"Today's young people are really very empty in spirit. β
"Your Excellency, why do you say they love this kind of work so much?"
......
At the same time, inside a villa in Boston.
There was a decent old man who had just taken today's newspaper from the postman.
But unlike usual, at the top of the newspaper, there is also an Emmy voting letter.
The old man opened the letter and snorted disdainfully.
As an out-of-the-circle person who is eligible to be invited by the Emmy Awards to be a judge.
He naturally belongs to the conservative and conformist "old-money".
"'Friends', 'Anomaly', has the American television industry fallen to this point?"
In "Friends", problems such as lace edges and the heroine's style made the old man very uncomfortable.
As for "Anomaly"...
God is a girl, still a crazy girl!
This makes the old money group with devout beliefs, how can they like it!
The old man tossed the voting letter aside and flipped through the day's newspaper.
Presidential elections, best-selling authors, Olympics... He wasn't interested.
It wasn't until he turned to the Christian Monitor that the old man stopped.
If there is any newspaper, it can please this group.
Then it must be this religious newspaper funded by the Vatican and distributed around the world.
"The king refuses the president of the United States and goes to the Vatican?"
The old man paused, then flipped through the previous newspaper again.
"This king... It's the best-selling author who has been in the media a lot lately?"
"And, the author of Anomaly?"
It's nice to turn down the president of the United States and go to the Vatican, but it doesn't erase his slander against God.
The old man thought about it for a while, but he was still not ready to vote for any TV series.
The impact of this incident only made him slightly less disgusted with "Anomaly" and ranked it after "Friends".
