"The loot in the fortress's warehouse, the focus is on enchanted equipment, pick a few pieces in good condition and send them to the three generals. Although they are strong people in the town, they may not be able to look at those equipment, but it means nothing, right? They can't use it themselves, so they can give it to their juniors! The rest, for better or worse, are all blacked. Su Su wants to use those materials to build equipment for us......"

Li Qing explained to Xiaolongnu: "In addition, I discussed with several generals yesterday that we will be responsible for destroying the materials that are inconvenient to take away. Of course, those supplies can't really be destroyed, and the fleet can't take them away, so we can take them away. Anyway, if the empire doesn't want it, we're welcome, and we'll all be included in the half-plane. ”

On Zhongshan Island, there was originally a large amount of war preparation materials.

After the enemy was completely annihilated, a large amount of weapons and equipment, grain and grass were seized, and all kinds of booty were piled up.

Although the East China Sea Fleet captured many Amaterasu warships, it also captured a large number of Amaterasu prisoners.

Some of those prisoners of war could be converted into servant armies to serve as cannon fodder for the Empire. Die-hards can also be thrown into the mines to toil to death, squeezing out every surplus value – in the midst of the Great War of the Century between East and West, population was one of the most important resources.

Even if the empire had a population of 370 million, in the context of the Great War of the Century, it was still too little, and it would not spare any strong laborers. Therefore, the captives had to be brought back.

In addition, the surviving garrison troops on Zhongshan Island had to be withdrawn, so the overall capacity of the fleet was still limited.

In addition to the captured grain, which must be transported, a large number of other ordinary materials, such as ordinary muskets, artillery, weapons and armor, will not be transported unless the production is particularly sophisticated, and all of them must be destroyed on the spot.

The empire has a lot of money, so it doesn't care about these materials, but the half-plane of Susu is in need of a huge amount of materials to upgrade. For Su Su and Li Qing, even a piece of stone or wood is useful.

So yesterday, Li Qing took the initiative to take over the task of destroying the materials, in order to move all those materials into the half-plane.

"Mobilize all the troops under my command, including the 300 Amaterasu servant army, as well as the battlefield rebels such as Sakamoto Tokitashi, and move all the materials that have been decided to be destroyed into the hilltop fortress and move them to the school field next to the commander's office. When all the outsiders left, I asked Su Su to transport all the supplies into the half-plane. Finally, plant some explosives and set a fire, and that's it. ”

Transporting supplies into the half-plane is certainly not something that can be done with a wave of a hand.

The portal is not too big, and the amount of material that can be teleported at a time is limited. And the half-plane is so secret, it is obvious that outsiders cannot be involved casually. But if you only rely on Li Qing and Xiaolongnu, you don't know how many times you have to carry them before you can move all the materials into the portal one by one.

Fortunately, Su Su has thousands of undead under his command, and they are all tireless and good coolies. When the time comes, you can drive the undead to carry supplies. Thousands of undead act together, and it won't take long to complete the task.

After explaining the relocation to Xiaolongnu, Li Qing went to find Su Su.

And Xiaolongnu asked Chu Lingfeng, Ni Yuanyuan, Scarlett, and Song Qiqi to help mobilize the troops first, and she herself went to the three generals of Zhenguo to determine the specific scope of the destruction of materials. She also planned to ask the three generals for a group of prisoners to help carry supplies in order to complete the task.

……

"Susu." Li Qing came to Su Su's room and knocked on the thick wooden door, "I'm in!" ”

Su Su didn't respond, and Li Qing didn't care, and directly pushed the door open.

As soon as the door opened, a pillow was thrown at me.

Li Qingyi caught the pillow and said with a smile: "What, are you still angry?" ”

Su Su, who had just thrown out the pillow and threw Li Qing, was lying on the bed again at this time, her little face buried in the quilt, her shoulders kept shaking, and she looked like she was sobbing.

Li Qing walked in, closed the door with his backhand, walked to the bed, put the pillow in Su Su's hand, and sat down next to her, "Don't cry Su Su, if you feel unhappy, hit me twice with the pillow?" This time I promise not to dodge. ”

Su Su was silent, her shoulders still shaking.

Li Qing said again: "Although everyone said it politely just now, they did get to the point. If you really want to make a strict movie, the script has to be changed. Song Qiqi said, anyway, you just want to have fun, just toss with you. But I don't agree, because I know that you really want to do something serious. ”

"You know and hit me?" Susu finally spoke.

Her face was buried in the quilt, and her voice sounded a little muffled, and she was crying.

Li Qing said seriously: "That's not a blow, it's a strict requirement for you." Otherwise, everyone is like Song Qiqi said, whatever you toss, you won't be happy. But what about your career? But it's all ruined. ”

"But people think the script is well written!" Su Su choked up and said, "That's an idea that people have come up with with a lot of brains." Isn't it fashionable to pay tribute now? Didn't you just make a movie that paid tribute to a big name not long ago? This film also pays tribute to many classic movies, TV, animations, fairy tales, and novels, why can't it? ”

"Susu, what about the audience, they are watching movies, watching stories and pictures, not paying tribute. The story is not good, no matter how much you make a fuss, even if you pay tribute to the Zenith, the audience will not buy it, and will scold the big bad movie. ”

Li Qing patiently explained: "To make a movie, you must first have sincerity. What is sincerity? For example, Bai Juyi is a great poet, right? Big enough, right? But when someone writes a poem, he must first read it to the common people, and it must be understood by the common people with a low level of education, and he will finalize it. He never said that you are not Jinshi, and if you can't read my poems, you are uneducated.

"You see, this is the sincerity of the great poets who have been passed down through the ages. When you make movies, you must also learn from Bai Juyi and be down-to-earth. Don't pay tribute to this and that for a while, don't pay tribute to that for a while, just don't pay tribute to the audience who buy tickets to enter the theater......

"To be honest, our Chinese movie audiences have very low requirements for domestic films. As long as you tell the story, the audience won't hack you. If it's interesting, the audience will cheer.

"Na, you also said before that in the production of domestic special effects blockbusters, as long as the scene is real and powerful, even if the storyline is a little thin, the audience will recognize your sincerity. At that time, you made it quite clear, why was it whimsical when writing the script? ”

"Then, that person is planning to make a scene seriously!" Su Su argued in a low voice: "Even in order to avoid a thin storyline, I racked my brains to think of such twists and turns and wonderful stories, there are harps/palaces, innocence, palace fights, conspiracy, wars, reversals, and pathos...... Why don't you approve of it? ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Your patchwork plot can't be regarded as twists and turns, it's just nonsense." Rather than forcibly make up the so-called twists and turns, I'd rather you make up a story that is a little thinner. As you said, special effects blockbusters, it's good that the scenes and special effects are sincere. ”

"Then you think I can't make up a story, you can make one up for me?" Su Su said this, still not very convinced. But in fact, in her heart, she has realized her mistake.

Although she is narcissistic, she is not really brain-dead after all.

She knew that if one or two people said no, it might be a difference in appreciation. But if everyone can't say anything, it must be something wrong with their own story.

"Shall I make one?"

Li Qing thought for a while and said, "It's okay, I'll make one up now." Not...... For a blockbuster like the Empire Six-Part Series, first of all, you have to explain the background. So at the beginning, you have to learn from the Lord of the Rings and introduce the background of the Great War between the East and the West. You're a newcomer, it's okay to imitate the beginning of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, as long as the scene is done well, at least the Chinese audience will definitely not scold you. ”

"Imitate the beginning of the Lord of the Rings trilogy? Tell us the background of the story? Su Su raised his head from the quilt, and there were still a few crystal tears on his long eyelashes, and asked suspiciously: "Then, how should I explain it?" ”

Li Qingdao: "It's very simple, the opening scene is a big scene of confrontation between the two armies, and then in a deep male voice, the two armies collide together...... After the narrator has explained the background of the era and the camps of the warring parties, such as who is the aggressor and who is the resistant, the opening battle can be over.

"Take a panoramic view of the battlefield from above, say "This is just the beginning of this century war......", and then you can get subtitles.

"When the subtitles are released, the background of the subtitles can be made into a map, and the changes in the map are used to show the development and growth of the Holy Light Alliance, attacking from all sides, invading from all directions, and getting bigger and bigger, and finally unifying the Western world, and then spreading eastward until it collides with the Eastern Empire.

At this time, the background of the subtitles is out of the photo. The black-and-white pictures of the border cities of the Eastern Empire being invaded and burned, the people being killed and enslaved, and a small number of imperial soldiers still swearing to resist to the death while besieged highlight the ruthlessness of the invaders of the Holy Light Alliance, the tragedy of the invaded side, and the firmness of resisting aggression.

In this way, the boundary between good and evil on both sides has been determined. The main theme of defending the homeland and resisting aggression has also been determined.

Towards the end of the subtitles, the camera quickly zooms up and the map appears again. This time, it's a map of the Eastern Empire. Then quickly move to a certain point on the map, then the camera quickly descends, and the scene on the map quickly zooms in until a small village with a beautiful environment appears......"

Speaking of this, Li Qing stopped for a while, got up and poured himself a glass of water, ready to drink a glass of water to quench his thirst.

I don't know when, Su Su has already sat up, holding the manuscript paper and pen, and is recording quickly. Seeing that Li Qing stopped, she hurriedly raised her head and looked at Li Qing with a blank look: "Then what?" ”

"And then ......," Li Qing poured his saliva, "and then our protagonist can appear." First of all, we have to determine the identity of the main character. Well, it's best to be a grassroots, such an identity setting is more down-to-earth, and it can also shoot inspirational factors......"

"Grassroots? Well, I see. Su Su perked up and said, "We can add a drama of divorce here." The protagonist is a grassroots, eight-generation poor peasant. In his father's generation, he once had a baby kiss with a neighbor. But this neighbor moved soon after the marriage, and then suddenly developed, and he looked down on the protagonist of the poor peasant family, so he quit the marriage......"

"Divorce ......" Li Qing's eyes jumped, "This bridge ......"

"In addition to withdrawing from the marriage, you can also set the protagonist as a cultivation waste."

Su Su said more energetically: "Doesn't the empire have a very advanced talent selection system? In every village and fort, there are veteran soldiers as instructors, responsible for the inheritance of basic strength, no matter what class of children, can get basic training, once they are found to be talented, they will be recommended to the higher government school......"

The imperial talent training system that Su Su mentioned is the characteristics of the empire, and it is also the capital of the empire's endless talents, which can confront the entire Holy Light Alliance and its large number of client states with the strength of a single country.

In every village and fort, there are retired low-ranking officers who are responsible for the inheritance of basic strength. The most ordinary children of peasant households can also get basic training from retired officers in the village fort.

Once he is found to be talented, he will be recommended by the officer to the county-level government school.

After testing, once it is verified that he is indeed talented, he can enter the three county-level schools of the Samurai Hall, the Sorcerer Hall, and the Alchemist Hall respectively according to the direction of the talent to receive publicly-funded training.

If you can excel in the county-level school, you can enter a higher level of prefectural-level school.

If you still excel in the provincial school, you can enter the university hall in the provincial capital.

If you can stand out from the capital university, you will have the opportunity to enter the "Jinkoku University Hall" in Imperial Shenjing and receive the highest level of further study.

For publicly-funded apprentices from commoners, the government paid for every one of their expenses during their studies at all levels of school.

All they need to do is accept the Empire's assignment and serve the Empire for ten years after completing their studies. After 10 years, they can choose where they want to go - generally speaking, the vast majority of publicly-funded apprentices who have served the Empire for ten years will still choose to stay in their own department.

And during the ten years of serving the empire, the samurai, magicians, and alchemists trained at public expense were not simply cattle and horses. They can also get merit and remuneration, just for a relatively low price.

In the imperial army, even the lowest-level ordinary soldiers can use the weapons and battle armor of the initial spiritual weapon, precisely because there are a large number of refiners trained by the government in the refining workshops at all levels of the empire.

Therefore, in the empire, the eighth generation of poor peasants also had a chance to get ahead.

"But the protagonist is a waste of cultivation, and he is born with a weak physique, even if he has received basic training since he was a child, he has no qualifications at all. Because of this, the family that is engaged to the protagonist thinks that the protagonist will never come out, so they resolutely decide to withdraw from the marriage! ”

The corners of Li Qing's mouth twitched, "Not only did he withdraw from the marriage, but he was still a waste material, so familiar......

Su Su looked at Li Qing with blank eyes and said, "Now, Li Qing, what do you think of people's character design?" You see, the grassroots, divorce, waste materials, and the settings that enhance the sense of substitution and expectation are all out, isn't that great? ”

"Well, it's not impossible to waste wood. Captain America is the grassroots waste material flow to start ......" Li Qing grinned and thought about it: "Divorce...... Well, there is no such beginning in the movie for the time being, then, so be it, the protagonist is set. ”

"Yay!" Su Su raised his hands high and jumped up: "Great, the first character has finally passed!" It seems that I do have a talent for screenwriting, but the inspiration is too strong, and if no one is watching, it is easy to fly...... Now with Li Qing's help and control my inspiration, we will work together to write the most perfect script! ”

"The most perfect ......" Li Qing pulled his brows, "Forget it, just get by, you don't have to pursue perfection." Anyway, it's a special effects blockbuster. ”

"Hehe...... Su Su was completely energetic now, picked up the manuscript paper again, and looked at Li Qing with a pen: "So, how should the protagonist turn over after being hit by the divorce?" Do you want him to say don't bully the poor boy and pick up another ring? ”

"It's not okay to copy it exactly!" Li Qingmeng shook his head: "The movie has limited time, even if it is a six-part series, it is best not to progress slowly." The pace has to be a little faster. Well, in this way, we designed the protagonist to be indifferent to the divorce.

"Because soon after ordering the baby, the neighbor moved. The protagonist's impression of his fiancée is just a little girl with pigtails and a snot running behind his ass...... He doesn't feel anything about his fiancée! ”

Su Su didn't wait for Li Qing to continue, and continued on his own, saying: "So what really makes him haunted is the evaluation of him as a waste material that will never come out when the other party quits the marriage. This hurts the protagonist's self-esteem, but it's a fact and he can't refute it.

So the protagonist is depressed, runs to the hill outside the village, punches and kicks a tree, of course the tree is fine, he is a waste wood, his own fist is bloodstained. But he didn't seem to feel it, and it wasn't until he was exhausted from the fight that he slowly knelt down holding the tree.

After that, he suddenly looked up to the sky and yelled: Why? Why am I a piece of scrap? Why am I so weak? I'm not reconciled, God, I'm not reconciled! ”

Li Qingdao: "The lines need to be changed, it's too subtle." Well, I think it's a little better like this: the protagonist is crazy about hitting the tree, the bark is not broken, and the protagonist's fist is blurred with flesh and blood. The protagonist hugs the tree and smiles bitterly: I can't even beat a tree...... The ambition of joining the army, making meritorious contributions, and defending the country...... Ridiculous......

"At this time, you can flash back some images. For example, when I was a child, the protagonist was listening to storytellers commenting on books. It tells the story of the great generals and heroes in ancient times who defended their families and the country, and killed the enemy. The protagonist's face is full of admiration and yearning.

"I was still the protagonist when I was a child, standing on the side of the road, watching the young people in the village who joined the army, riding a tall horse, wearing big red flowers, wearing brand new armor, and going all the way away under the warm farewell of the villagers. The protagonist's eyes are full of envy.

Then there is a flashback to the scene, where the protagonist is wearing an old military uniform and playing a war game with his friends. But because he was born weak, he was quickly defeated and fell to the ground. The friends laughed at him for being too weak, and he was unconvinced and said, I must become a general in the future!

At this time, a little girl with pigtails and a little red jacket came to him, helped him up, and said to him: Brother, you can definitely become a general!

The protagonist laughs proudly. Well, this little girl is the protagonist's fiancée.

The next scene is that the protagonist is being trained. The training can't keep up with the progress, the confrontation is always a failure, even the lap runs, always fall in the last place, when the panting and pale protagonist is running, there are always people around him who have surpassed him by a full lap, overtaking him one after another, laughing at him: Yo, isn't this our general? Why is it the last place again?

"The protagonist has been persevering, but he just hasn't improved. Friends who grew up together, some of them were selected to be sent to the higher-level government schools, and the protagonist is still unknown, only the oath that he must be a general when he was a child, and he is ridiculed from time to time......"

Li Qing took another sip of water, and when he saw that Su Su was writing quickly and copying extremely seriously, he couldn't help but smile: "This is the end of the flashback picture, back to reality." The protagonist mutters to himself under the tree: The Holy Light Alliance has invaded the empire, the borders of the four sides are in flames, thousands of people are in the flames of war, and the soldiers of the border army have killed the enemy in blood. This is the time when my generation of men are using force, but I just ......

"The protagonist is painful, self-reproachful, and unwilling. At this moment, a clear female voice suddenly sounded: So, you just gave up? The protagonist is startled, and suddenly looks back and sees a beautiful girl. ”

"Did I show up?" Su Su was pleasantly surprised: "The goddess who changed the fate of waste materials, that is, me, is it time to appear?" ”

“…… Although what you said was true, and it did change the fate of my scrap material, it wasn't time for you to appear. In addition, my waste material was originally just a physical waste material, and my mind is not a waste material, so I'm a college student, right? In the future, I will be able to eat by myself. ”

Li Qing glared at Su Su angrily, "So it's Chu Lingfeng who appears at this time, the protagonist's fiancée." ”

"Huh? Chu Lingfeng? Can she change the fate of scrap wood? Su Su was surprised: "What about me?" When will I play? ”

"Of course you have to appear a little later." Li Qingdao: "At the end of the first part, you can appear." ”

"But Chu Lingfeng, why should you change the fate of waste materials?" Su Su wrinkled her little face and said unwillingly: "She is not like me, she can create power seeds......"

Li Qing turned his face and glared: "Then do you want me to help make up the story?" ”

"You!"

Su Su raised his eyebrows, and he was about to go crazy, but he thought that his inspiration was too high, and no one would really mess things up, so he endured it, and said secretly in his heart:

"My inspiration is one hundred and eighteen, and the level of appreciation for the average person is one hundred. My inspiration value is a full eighty beyond the level of ordinary people's appreciation, the so-called transcendence of half a step is a genius, beyond a step is a madman. If I were left to my senses, I would only be regarded as crazy by mortals who don't know how to appreciate.

"Li Qing's inspiration value is only seventy, and I add him up, which is exactly two hundred and five. He dragged down my inspiration and pulled me down. I elevated his inspiration and increased his level. As soon as the two of us were combined and divided, it was exactly one hundred and twenty-five, which was only twenty-five more than the ordinary people's appreciation level, and it was a genius-level level that surpassed half a step. Well, I'll bear with it! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Su Su suddenly lowered his eyebrows and pleasing his eyes: "Well, you go on, people listen." ”

Li Qing frowned and said leisurely: "Of course, when the character played by Lingfeng first appeared, she was a mysterious girl, and no one knew that it was the protagonist's fiancée, and the protagonist himself didn't know. After all, the age is too long, the yellow-haired girl back then has now become a beautiful girl, and he can't recognize it.

So after Lingfeng said that, the protagonist smiled bitterly and asked: What can you do if you don't give up? I was born weak, and no matter how hard I exercised, I still couldn't do anything...... With a body like mine, even if I want to go to the army to do a logistics paperwork, the army will not want me.

Lingfeng said: Indeed, it is impossible for you to be a clerk in the army now. But what if I sue you, I have a way to change your constitution? ”

"Wait! I have a problem! Su Su raised his hand and said with a stern expression: "What method does Lingfeng want to use to improve the physique of a natural waste material?" ”

"It's a simple question." Li Qingdao: "The protagonist is born with waste materials, but in fact, it is just a congenital deficiency. And the background of our story is a magic blockbuster! To change the constitution of a congenitally deficient waste material, it couldn't be simpler. Whether it's qigong or a panacea, there's a way! ”

Su Su was puzzled: "But since there is a way, why didn't the protagonist think of a way before?" ”

Li Qing said with a smile: "Because the protagonist is an eighth-generation poor peasant!" With such a family background, even if there is a way, with his family conditions, he can't do it! ”

Su Su asked, "Then why can Lingfeng do it?" ”

Li Qingdao: "That's why the Lingfeng family will be developed. Now, didn't you say your neighbor moved before? The family moved to the next county and inherited a small workshop...... First of all, no matter what kind of workshop it is, it is a small workshop anyway, and it is far from being developed. However, when Reifeng reached the age of going to school, when he was in the academy, he was accidentally found to have a very excellent martial arts talent......"

"I see!" Su Su suddenly said: "Because Lingfeng was found to have a very excellent martial arts talent, she was so excellent that the county-level school could not accommodate her, and even the prefectural-level and provincial capital-level schools could not help but waste her talent...... So she was directly recommended to the Zhenguo University Hall in the imperial capital and entered the best university in the country for further study! ”

The "Zhenguo University Hall" in the imperial capital is not a university in the earthly sense. As long as the talent is really good enough, you can start the basic learning period when you are a child, and study in the Zhenguo University Hall, so as not to waste your talent.

Therefore, the role played by Chu Lingfeng was sent to the Zhenguo University Hall since he was a child, which is also very logical.

Of course, this has to find a way to show it in the movie. Li Qing's plan is that in the future, when the protagonist grows to a certain point, he will go to Zhenguo University Hall for short-term training, and learn about this at that time.

"That's right." Li Qing smiled slightly and said, "It is precisely because Lingfeng entered the Zhenguo University Hall that her family is truly developed. And it is precisely because she is so good that her family thinks that the protagonist's never-ending waste material is not worthy of him, so they decide to withdraw from the marriage.

"However, what we are talking about now is just the background, there is no need to explain it at the beginning, to create a sense of mystery and expectation, and slowly discover this series of secrets in the protagonist's future interactions with Lingfeng."

Su Su nodded thoughtfully: "So, in terms of the plot, I still have to follow the words of the previous Lingfeng: What if, I have a way to change your physique?" ”

Li Qing smiled: "Not bad. The background is the background, we can know it, and the audience doesn't need to know it for the time being. All they need to know is that a mysterious girl suddenly appears in front of the protagonist, gives him a mysterious medicine to improve his physique, and teaches him advanced martial arts.

Of course, many smart viewers will guess that this girl may be the protagonist's fiancée, but before we reveal the secret, they still have to keep guessing and looking forward until the truth is revealed.

"The next plot is the picture of the mysterious girl teaching the protagonist martial arts. The girl teaches the protagonist boxing, knife skills, swordsmanship, spearmanship, horsemanship...... In short, the kung fu that will be used on the battlefield must be shown one by one.

And the changes in the protagonist are also shown one by one. For example, when I started practicing, my fist was clumsy, my sword and spear were unstable and I would drop when I touched it, and I would roll off after riding a horse for a while...... Gradually, it became more and more powerful, the body became stronger and muscular, the boxing skills became more vigorous, the running could catch up with the war horse, the sword water could not be splashed, the spear skills became more and more skilled, and I could ride on the horse and stand upside down......

"This series of changes, with a fast-cut shot and fast-paced and exciting music, reflects the feeling of the protagonist's rapid growth......"

Su Su recorded quickly, and just as he was enjoying listening, he heard a knock on the door, and then Xiaolongnu's voice came from outside the door: "Li Qing, Su Su, the material handling is all done, and the idle people have also left, just waiting for you to open the portal and move into the half-plane!" ”
