Wang Qinian returned to his residence with a happy mood, but now he was facing a more severe situation than he imagined.
All the wood elves were waiting for him, and although none of them dared to sit on his **, not only did they fill the rest of his room, but even the outside of the room was full of people, which attracted the attention of the guards of the City Lord's Mansion who guarded this residence.
This is the temporary residence that belongs to the City Lord's Mansion to entertain outsiders, of course, it is a relatively simple one of all the temporary residences, if it is at the level of the orc trade group, the people are in the independent villa area.
The Wood Elves have been very honest since they came here, and the beauties of the Wood Elves are a bit of an eyesore except for the green hair, and even from the critical eyes of the human race, the Daffodil Troupe is second only to Lizi, Catherine, and Jenny, and Ciri can be ranked with these three, but she has a heroic temperament under her soft appearance.
However, when this kind of heroic martial arts is displayed in front of Wang Qinian, it is not fun, and the first thing you see is her sharp eyes.
Fortunately, Wang Qinian was prepared, for the conservative wood elves, it was not the actor who resisted, but used this to make money.
The actor originated from the act of praying to the gods in sacrificial rituals, and only the human race would be so filthy that it trampled on the sacred and defiled the pure.
"I know what you're trying to say, but my room is not big, so you can only send a representative in and tell me what you think, and Ciri must count it as one, add two, and the others please go out." Wang Qinian said calmly.
The wood elves glanced at each other and agreed to Wang Qinian's construction, Xi Rui nodded, and after discussing with the other elves, he decided on the negotiator.
"The rest of you can listen outside the door. Wang Qinian did not close the door.
He did this on purpose, firstly, he could not talk to the elves without gossiping, and secondly, he also used this reasonable request to suppress the aura that the wood elves were accumulating, but what he wanted to say to Ciri and them was not afraid to let every wood elf hear.
"Say it, what you think. Wang Qinian sat down on his own **, and at the same time motioned for Xi Rui to sit down on the few chairs in the room.
Ciri didn't listen to him, and the other two wood elves, a man and a woman, were still standing.
"We're not going to do that messy drama!" The first to speak was a male wood elf, whose name Wang Qinian remembered was Allen.
"Yes, we don't. Another female wood elf Ruiya also plucked up her courage and said, Xi Rui didn't speak, just looked at Wang Qinian.
"Then what are you going to do? You can't go back in a short time, just on the road, there must be danger, maybe you will be captured as slaves, if that's the case, don't say go back to your hometown, even a few of you are like this is a luxury, maybe you will be on different sides of the world, each serving the people you don't want to serve, doing things that make you feel more embarrassed than the actors. Wang Qinian said slowly.
"We can do something else. "We have hands and feet. ”
"You must not go out of the city, there is danger, unless you want to see the loss of one or two companions from time to time. ”
"In the city, I am afraid, it is very difficult for anyone to invite you, unless you are invited to offer you, as if you were an exhibit or a cargo, and you are qualified to do so in appearance. ”
"Nonsense. Rhea's face flushed, and the flush spread across her jade-white face.
"I'm just pointing out the facts, and I said that to Ciri. What would you do? You are used to living in forests and grasslands, otherwise you would not be called Wood Elves. Your habits are very different from those of the Terrans and the Orcs, but it is a pity that now you are in the city of the Terrans, like me, I can be a governess, and I teach the language to other people's children, will you?"
Rhea shook her head blankly, she only knew the 6 lingua franca, and only the elders and tribal patriarchs and the Wood Elf King had the opportunity to come into contact with the ancient elf language.
"Then will you take children?" Wang Qinian asked knowingly, "Then veto another one, you can't take children, you don't know how to cook, you can't do the duties of a maid, and in rich families, maids are often synonymous with the master's sexual partner." ”
"Shameless, indecent!" it was Ciri who rebuked him this time.
"But it's true, so life is hardly for you, you do it, someone else has to give you the opportunity to learn all from scratch, and if it's not a sexual partner, it's hard for me to imagine anyone who has that kind of patience. Wang Qinian patiently explained.
"As for joining the army, I'm now a quartermaster in Free City, or I can recommend you to become a marksman in the army, and a marksman like Ciri can be an archery instructor. ”
"No, I don't want to shed blood fighting for the Terrans. Ciri refused.
"Well, well, this is a good way to go, but you don't have any sense of belonging to the city, and it's useless to force you to join the army. Wang Qinian nodded, "So in addition to the above things that you can't do, or don't want to do, do you still have a choice between starving to death, being taken back into slavery, and listening to me to act?"
Not only were the three Wood Elves in the room stunned, but the Wood Elves eavesdropping outside the room were also stunned, as if there was indeed no other way to go, including the house where they were now living was placed when Bernhard came in.
"Actually, you don't have to resist this at all, I admit that I want to make money in this matter, but I also want to improve my life, and I'm studying magic, which is a money-burning thing. I'm going to use you, I'm going to exploit you, but it's fair in the whole thing, because I give the most, the idea is what I think of, and I solve some of the difficulties, and you just complete a part of it, and then you can earn your living expenses. You are making money with your own labor, which is very fair, and no one can blame you. ”
was first hit by Wang Qinian, and then stuffed an olive branch, Wang Qinian's statement of putting himself in the shoes of the wood elves finally opened a crack in the stubborn minds of the wood elves.
"No, even if you say so, if we don't listen to you, maybe we will starve to death in the Terran world, but I'd rather starve to death. Ciri shook his head, "I've seen your so-called drama, which portrays the ancient elven empire as a sin, and you humans are righteous rebels, the history I know is not like this, it is different from what the elders said, in our history, although the high elves recognized us as lowly, but not as bad as in your play. ”
"Ahem. Wang Qinian coughed dryly, "Well, this question, yes, I admit that the drama is a bit excessive, and the responsibility is put on the rule of the High Elves, although the High Elves look down on other races, they are not so brutal." But it's a religious drama, do you know what a religious drama is? This is the main category of drama now, because drama is very lacking in good scripts, and we have to often use the religious drama scripts provided by church personnel, in religious dramas, especially the Church of Light, they are representatives of the faith in the heavenly realm, and of course they will discredit the High Elves, including you Wood Elves, I am afraid that there will be no good evaluation. ”
"So, we must not play this kind of play!" said Ciri, and the already shaken wood elves were shocked when they heard this, most of them nodded and clenched their fists, only a few of them clenched their teeth, struggling inwardly, but they never dared to say it in front of their companions.
"No, that's why you should go to theater. If you don't occupy the propaganda position, you will be taken away by the enemy!" Wang Qinian stood up.
"Propaganda?" For Wang Qinian's sudden words, the wood elves couldn't understand.
"Propaganda is the use of means to spread one's own ideas to influence the thoughts and actions of others. Wang Qinian said: "You see, the Church of Light has done a very good job, they have written religious scripts for free, and spread their beliefs in the mode of drama. You think they are all lies, they are deceiving, but what is the use of that, you have seen with your own eyes, in the theater, countless people are applauding, and a lie, repeated a thousand times, will be taken as the truth. ”
Xi Rui's face changed drastically, and Wang Qinian continued: "You have seen it, but you are running away, not fighting them, but using the excuse that this is dirty, this is dirt. Honestly, between you and the Church of Light, I don't take any position, and I support whoever can make me more money. So, why don't you stand up and agree to act, you can use the show to tell others another truth, to fight back against the Church of Light. ”
"Seems he has a point?" Rhea was the first to waver.
Alan also had a hesitant look on his face, and Ciri was a little dazed.
Wang Qinian didn't speak anymore, just waited quietly, he had already finished what he had to say, and he was not completely sure whether he could impress the wood elves, because Xi Rui's resistance was stronger than he expected.
"What will your script look like?" said Ciri.
Wang Qinian was overjoyed, but his face was still very strict, he reached into his arms and took out the part of the script that he had read for Lizibao and said: "A beautiful love story." The princess falls in love with the handsome prince, but is persecuted by her vicious stepmother, but fortunately meets seven dwarves to save them, and then the happy ending. ”
Ciri took the script and looked at it, this is only the first part, the story of Snow White was processed and improved by Wang Qinian, and then injected water into it.
Once upon a time, there was a princess who was very beautiful and had snow-white skin, so she was called Snow White. Her father loved her very much, but when the queen died, a vicious and beautiful woman became her stepmother, who pretended to be kind and got the king's love and became the new queen, but she was jealous of the princess's beauty, and at the same time thought that she had taken away her husband's love and wanted to put her to death. When the king was alive, he betrothed the princess into a family affair, and was the handsome prince of the neighboring country. But before she could see her get married, the king died, and the queen began to try to harm the princess. Fortunately, the princess had a personal female guard, desperately rescued the princess, and with the help of seven dwarves living in seclusion in the forest, she escaped the queen's pursuit, and finally waited for the prince, and with the help of the prince and everyone, Snow White exposed the queen's true face in front of all her subjects.
The queen fled and fell to her death at the bottom of the cliff in a panic, while the princess and the prince were happily together, and the faithful maid left with the seven dwarves, for she also had a crush on the prince.
This is a brief description of Wang Qinian's script, but in the hands of Ciri, it only ends when Snow White is desperately protected by a female warrior and escapes, and encounters seven dwarves.
This is really different from the religious dramas that Ciri has watched, without the slightest content that promotes light and justice, elf evil, full of positive energy, the only exception is the vicious stepmother queen.
"I don't play this queen. Ciri said.
"Of course not, I've given you the role of a loyal and obsessive samurai. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
"So, who plays Snow White?"
"She, the prince will be played by Allen. Wang Qinian said, pointing to Ruiya, in his script, Snow White should not only be beautiful, but also have a weak temperament, although Xirui is very beautiful, but a little heroic, and Ruiya is suitable.
"But we weren't very good at acting, at most we did it once or twice on the festival day. Rhea said timidly.
"Don't worry, the most challenging acting skills in this drama is the vicious queen, you just need to perform in your true colors. Wang Qinian comforted, of course, it is not as simple as he said, but it is not wrong, the most difficult thing to play in this script is the queen, so he will sell the script, get the opportunity to cooperate with Daffodils, and borrow Catherine.
With Catherine, she can not only deal with the most difficult role of the queen, but also let this old drama bone take Ruiya and them, and then teach them as an amateur director, it should be possible.
Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if it is not comparable to the movie before the time travel, but this is Keos, which is an unprecedented way, different from the drama that people see now.
Formally, religious dramas are now popular, but in fact people have long been tired of religious dramas, and even devout believers will not resist repertoire that truly reflects the elements of life.
And Wang Qinian wants to start from this aspect, and the novelty of the subject matter is enough to offset the shortcomings of some immature performances.
What's more, the way the film is shot is more realistic than the drama on the stage, and Wang Qinian has already planned how to appear more real to distract the audience and avoid focusing on immature performances.
"You've really convinced them!" After the group of wood elves had withdrawn, old John ran in.
Wang Qinian smiled slightly, and Old John hesitated and said, "But are they really good?"
"It may be difficult, but this is the simplest play, the characters in it are more face-painted, that is, relatively simple, not complicated, more suitable for them to get started, if they can succeed in one fell swoop, it can be regarded as accumulating some experience, and they can perform more complex roles in the future. ”
Wang Qinian didn't expect the wood elves to be on the road soon, but he had no other resources available, and it was not easy to borrow a Catherine from the Daffodil Troupe with a script, and then he wanted to borrow other actors, unless he could succeed in one fell swoop, he would have the capital to continue to cooperate with Daffodils, and this first time he had to succeed in order to give confidence to the wood elves, Old John, and the borrowed Catherine.
Snow White is a story in Grimm's fairy tales, punishing evil and promoting good, but there are attractive plots and characters, not complicated but with selling points, Wang Qinian is absolutely confident that he can kill the current religious drama in seconds in terms of plot.
Because the memory left by Owen in the current religious drama is all for the purpose of promoting faith, sometimes he doesn't care about the bluntness of the plot at all, let alone the real emotions that the audience needs, in short, it serves to spread faith.
