Chapter 77 Dwarf Chief
=========================
There are doubts from the outside world.
At the emergency meeting, the faces of the top leaders of the Holy See were as gloomy as water.
The most disgusting thing about this movie is that the director seems to have no ulterior motives, and the story has nothing to do with the Holy See.
So they can't find a place to prove themselves.
If I respond directly, I will definitely be accused of being guilty. Otherwise, why would I put myself in my shoes? It's like a thorn in the throat.
The most senior high priest looked at the maid and said, "Didn't I ask you to bring those trainee priests here?"
The maid said with a stiff upper lip: "When I went there, I didn't see him. They said he was... seconded to the outer court."
At first, no one reacted, but within two or three seconds, everyone present realized something.
Inside the hall, the atmosphere was eerily quiet for a moment.
Compared to the movie, this time it was a real breakthrough.
"A bunch of trainee priests, even if they die, it won't cause any impact," a high-ranking priest said sternly, "but if someone takes advantage of this, the consequences will be disastrous!"
Which bastard came up with this idea? It definitely wasn't the trainee priest himself.
A saint?
This old man is immortal.
In a rage, he spoke without thinking.
The high priest looked at the saint.
Although dissatisfied with the other party's mistakes, he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with the saint's strategy itself, but there were always unexpected results.
Could it be that Iliad is really their nemesis?
"It's not easy to kill one person to warn the rest within the Outer Court's sphere of influence. If we temporarily modify the employment contract..."
The words were not finished, but everyone knew it. It would be considered as guilty, otherwise why would the contract be modified? The Saint would definitely take the opportunity to say something sadly about the inner and outer courts being one family...
The saint uttered a word slowly: "Wait."
Her spies in the demon tribe said that the demon king had come out.
The Holy See has now fallen into decline. After sitting on the sidelines and watching the fight between two tigers for so long, it is time for the other side to come down and negotiate terms.
Soon after she finished speaking, the mandarin duck pendant on the saint's waist suddenly emitted a warm light.
Her eyes flickered: "Here it comes."
After Forging the God, the number of Luke's fans skyrocketed, almost breaking 100 million.
With the terminal ownership rate limited, there are movie fans who go to Internet cafes every day, register accounts and leave messages.
Different interpretations of the ending have also continued to increase the popularity of the film.
The enthusiasm and sincerity of the first generation of fans are beyond imagination. They set up a channel dedicated to supporting Luke, and the members are very active.
Where there is enthusiasm, there are doubts.
There were many people on the entire continent who disliked Luke, and slanderous remarks were spreading.
After the Quill Pen sanctions, the fans are still there and the haters are gradually turning into fans.
[Administrator: Please control your emotions. Someone has already used screenshots of the verbal abuse to smear Luke, accusing him of leading his supporters to secretly slander and threaten others. 】
【LuoBoKeng: When I see someone scolding me, can’t I fight back? [Angry][Burning with rage]]
[War Hammer: The hands and mouth are used for fighting back, so I can't bear it [hammer head] [big hammer head]. 】
The number of messages in the channel quickly rose to 99+.
[Administrator: It’s not that we don’t report, but we need to report effectively and use reports. 】
After transferring to the external court, Louis seemed to have opened the door to a new world. His internship was not in vain, as he was very experienced in this area.
A lot of questions came to my mind.
The administrator used actions instead of words and directly led the group members to start making reports, detailing Luke's achievements over the past six months.
In early June last year, Jushicheng published "The Group's Favorite is Three and a Half Years Old", and the article won the Most Popular Reader Award at the Wanchao Club.
In the same month, he cooperated with Rhine Trading Company to sell peripheral products, was received by the saint, spread the suona culture in the holy city, and escaped unscathed riding a giant dragon.
Arrived at Dragon Island at the end of the month and persuaded Julong to film "The Real and Fake Young Master of a Rich Family".
In July, he challenged Crown Prince Alec to a duel, became famous in one battle, and officially participated in the hunting expedition.
That month, the first film in mainland China was released.
In October, pre-sale sales of My Demon Father broke records.
In mid-October, Huishou was victorious and Xuechi was baptized and unexpectedly returned to his ancestral home.
At the end of October, he went to Elf Island and cooperated with the Elf King, suspected of being involved in the death of the priest.
In November, we made every effort to build an online community and officially promote the distribution of terminals.
In January of the following year, the first ghost story game was developed, calls were made to set up a magic writing major, and the Internet cafe was officially opened for business.
In February, kill Alec, expose the fake life fluid, and be promoted to a tenth-level magician! In the same month, he founded the first news program in mainland China, Today's News, and his novel The Three-Year-Old Group Pet II, serialized on the Bi'an Novel Network, broke the website's reward record.
In March, the fiefdom development plan was vigorously promoted, the Klin Watchtower Joint Office Building was officially launched, and "Forged God" was released.
You don’t know until you do the statistics, and you’ll be shocked when you do. These are just some of the bigger events that appear to have happened on the surface.
"We really didn't make a mistake!"
A feeling of pride arose among the group members.
An idol who strives to do well can often bring a higher level of enjoyment to his fans, and Luke is definitely someone he can show off.
When faced with insulting comments again, they no longer get into pointless arguments.
With a picture, go straight to the comment section.
In the early days of the Internet, even those who criticized were speechless when faced with the real results without any watering down.
It was two days later when Luke got the 'transcript'.
He clicked on it because he saw the popular entries.
Bad comments were inevitable, so Luke didn’t pay much attention to them. He didn’t expect that when it comes to chasing stars, everyone is well-informed.
He sighed: "Who is this talent? He actually started to make a battle report directly."
If this trend continues to develop, it will probably soon lead to systematic support activities.
Quill calmly stopped the active channel, put away the terminal and said, "When I went out this morning, I saw that the movie peripherals were selling well."
Luke did not seek sponsorship for this movie, but after the film became a big hit, Luke specifically called on Karen to sell peripheral products together.
The sales of the same props as those in the movie were almost as hard to get as movie tickets, and Rhine Trading Company made a lot of money from it.
Luke nodded, and suddenly there was a subtle movement next to him.
As far as the eye can see, the Sage's Sword is facing the same item, the War Hammer, and making a sword sound, which looks very exciting.
With daily care using pure faith, the Sword of the Sage has been repaired a lot.
"Weapons have no souls, only wills, which means there is no possibility of integration." Lujia saw through its little thoughts and said ruthlessly: "So please stop fantasizing about us becoming one with the sword and dying together."
The light of the Sage's Sword dimmed for a moment.
Luke: “…”
What exactly are you regretting?
Feather Pen went out in the morning to buy blood essence. While Luke was teaching him the Sword of the Sage, he had already digested all of it, and his aura had become much more condensed.
"How is it?" Luke also noticed the change in the atmosphere in the room.
"I am still 30% away from recovering my peak combat power." This 30% is difficult to make up with just essence and blood, and can only be made up through practice.
But Feather Pen was not too disappointed. To be able to recover to this point in less than a year was already a rocket ride.
Luke: "I also have to work hard and try to break through to the eleventh level of great magician as soon as possible."
With a huge fan base, it’s natural to seize opportunities.
Even if they like you, it is impossible for fans to think about you and have high emotions all the time.
Only when you make achievements and gain attention will your beliefs receive strong feedback.
Quill agrees with him: "Faith practice itself is an interactive process."
There is no method in the world that can make people progress through laziness.
After thinking for a while, Lu Jia said, "The second part of "The True and False Young Master" has not been released yet, I plan to use it to maintain the popularity."
I was busy filming some movies some time ago, and the whole drama has been almost finished, but I haven't started any promotions yet.
Quill was somewhat surprised by this decision.
The purpose of "Forging the God" is very high and it has received good response, but this has also invisibly raised the public's expectations of Luke.
"The True and False Young Master" suffers a great disadvantage in terms of scale. Although they were very attentive during the filming process, it is inevitable that it will appear petty in the face of such a great success.
Luke knew this and had given it enough thought beforehand: "We can only find another way to add value to ordinary things."
If you want to surpass the first one, you have to change the selling point.
Speaking of his professional field, his tone rose: "In the dimension I have been to, there is a very interesting thing called 3D glasses. The principle is very simple, based on the binocular parallax of the human eye, it creates a three-dimensional effect."
This time, I want to lead the public into the era of 3D movies.
The first 3D movie in the entire mainland will surely arouse the audience's curiosity to the greatest extent!
The term 3D movie sounds unfamiliar, but the term stereoscopic effect is easy to understand.
The feather pen hit the nail on the head: "To create an immersive effect?"
"right."
Watching the crematorium part in a more realistic setting would be so satisfying!
Relying on magic to quantum reorganize the samples, you can create more wonderful effects without even a 3D shooting stand or a professional camera.
But there is one thing that is difficult to break through: "The left-right displacement caused by ordinary parallax cannot deceive the magician."
Quill didn't say anything, but thought for a while, "Binding item, reducing magic resistance."
Luke had already considered this and sighed regretfully, "If we want the magician to have a truly immersive experience, we need to add deception inscriptions. When the latter is activated, it may destroy the stability of the former."
"It's not difficult." The quill said, "Each key node of the inscription is embedded in the magic stone."
Luke's throat moved when he heard this.
That is a huge and complex workload, and requires very solid skills.
"If...if I ask the dwarves to do it in exchange for a favor, wouldn't that be too inhumane?"
It is well known that dwarves hate taking on purely troublesome manual work the most, and they would consider it a kind of contempt.
"director!"
Suddenly there was a sharp sound outside the door.
Nellie's voice came before her in person, "I saw the official account said they would release behind-the-scenes footage, and I don't look pretty enough in the footage! I want to reshoot it."
What if those unprofessional clips of her at the beginning were released?
Quill raised an eyebrow, "Look, this is God's guidance."
It was delivered to my door.
Luke: “…”
Nellie came excitedly, and found that the way they looked at her was not right, a bit like they were looking at a wonderful 'tool'. Tools are indispensable treasures for the dwarves. Look at yourself as you would look at a tool person.
Damn, I'm not in love with her.
Luke: "I have something important to tell you."
Nellie nodded: "You go first."
Then she refused.
Luke quickly mentioned that he wanted to get 3D glasses.
This time it was Nellie's turn to be silent.
She didn't refute immediately, and her hair slowly stood up.
The situation was not good. Lujia coughed lightly and immediately pointed out the advantages to her. "After this technological breakthrough, in a few years, the 3D version of "Forging the Gods" can be re-released. With the blessing of memories, your scenes will be enshrined in the hearts of the audience."
Nellie silently imagined the scene, and her obsession with beauty dispelled some of her worries.
After a moment, her expression eased a little: "It's not difficult to persuade other tribesmen to help, but such a large workload cannot be hidden from the tribe leader, and he may come to trouble you."
Luke had heard a little about the reputation of the current dwarf chief, so he shrugged and said it was okay.
There is a famous saying that goes, don't worry about something that is 2 hours and 8 kilometers away, let alone something that is at least a week and a million miles away.
Forty-eight hours later, Moko City.
Recently, more and more tourists have come to the filming location to check in, and it is very lively everywhere.
The food street, which was originally built specifically for the dwarves, has now become a major local feature.
Lujia was hanging a plaque in the air, directing the citizens to build a visitor center, when the Lord of Moko City came over to report: "Your Highness, the chief of the dwarf tribe has arrived and wants to see you."
“……”Luke’s wing was almost sprained.
————
In the reception hall, the fire element in the air was unusually active.
The person sitting inside has a square face and his clothes are designed like a Rubik's Cube, with each side having different attributes. His bulging muscles are surrounded by a metal outer shell, and any part of them can be disassembled into different weapons.
Nellie was sitting nearby, looking a little uneasy.
The visitor had bad intentions. Under the gloomy gaze, Luke walked calmly and sat on the other side of the table: "You are finally here."
The tone sounded as if he had been waiting for the other person for a long time.
The dwarf chief, who was about to attack, narrowed his eyes and asked, "Are you waiting for me?"
Lujia asked back, "If I hadn't used handicrafts as bait, how could I have easily met the famous dwarf chief?"
Nellie was shocked. Did he do it on purpose? !
Of course Luke didn't mean it.
It's pure pretense.
Dwarves have sharp and sensitive personalities, and must have heard a lot of flattery. So he had to be dignified and his words had to be reserved, creating the feeling that two smart people were fighting with each other.
After saying that, he pushed one of the cups of tea over and smiled indifferently.
The air is filled with hot steam and the aroma of tea.
In the foggy atmosphere, the dwarf chief's initially unfriendly look gradually subsided, and his expression unconsciously became mysterious.
Nellie was young and couldn't hide things, so her face was full of questions.
The clan leader arrived at the Demon Realm in just two days, which shows how angry he was. Why was he suddenly drinking with them face to face?
Her puzzled look invisibly played an important role in supporting the actor.
The dwarf chief is particularly excited now.
In the past, those who negotiated business would open the door and quote prices directly, as if they were not willing to spend even a second more with them.
Although they all have mountains of gold and silver, people regard dragons as dignitaries and dwarves as nouveau riche, even though they are the real artists!
After half a cup of tea went down his throat, Lujia spoke again: "I want to see you mainly for another matter. The terminal that was popular in the continent some time ago actually has many shortcomings. The screen resolution is not high, the magic stone is consumed too quickly, and the style is also old. Unfortunately, there are some frictions between me and the nobles, so it is difficult to discuss cooperation."
The corner of Nellie's mouth twitched, and it was more than just a little friction.
As soon as Alec died, Lingjing signed the special supply agreement, which meant that all this painstaking research was in vain.
The dwarf chieftain obviously thought of this as well and looked unhappy.
"But fortunately, you didn't reject the olive branch I extended to you."
Nellie interjected, “Olive branch?”
Luke explained gently: "I invited you to perform, and the clan leader did not stop me. This is a signal that there is still a possibility for us to cooperate."
Nellie turned her head in surprise. Is there such a deeper meaning?
The dwarf chief's arms stiffened and he nodded.
Luke stopped short: "It's a long journey, you can think about it first."
The dwarf chief looked at him meaningfully and said, "I thought you would talk right away."
Luke forced a smile.
He wanted it right away too.
But the temporary addition of scenes and the contract terms were not considered.
Luke pondered and said, "If we cooperate, I think we should convey the craftsmanship spirit of the dwarves. Let its existence itself become the most luxurious brand in the industry."
Just like the movie inspired by the dwarves, it conveys a belief.
These words really touched the heart of the dwarf chief.
Nowadays, luxury brands and aristocrats are almost tied together, and he seems to have become more noble invisibly.
Lu Jia raised his glass: "How to embody the transmission, I also need to think about it."
Before he politely stood up to leave, Luke called the guards to arrange accommodation: "Don't neglect your distinguished guests."
After saying this, he walked out of the reception hall.
The weather was nice, and the sunlight outside shone obliquely on the feather pen.
Their eyes met, and Luke said, "The conversation went well."
Quill asked casually about the conversation.
Luke: “That’s all nonsense.”
There is no content.
“…”
You can stop talking, but you can’t stop doing things halfway.
That afternoon, Luke asked Feather Pen to help supervise the details of the visitor reception center, and he went to a quiet space to start planning and designing.
Just one night later, the specific plan was delivered to the dwarf chief.
The program includes an introduction book and sample displays.
On the heavy terminal packaging box, there is a place specially framed with dotted lines, which is the production of the famous dwarf tribe. In the instruction manual, Lujia also left one or two pages to introduce the relevant process in detail.
The dwarf chief turned his attention to the project plan again.
[Based on the abilities of the nobles, they will definitely be able to make major breakthroughs in certain areas.
For example, XX display screen, XX technology...
We will use it as the main selling point and conduct network-wide publicity to make customers feel that it is high-end. In the future, you will be the guarantee of product performance. Only the dwarves can produce innovations...】
There are physical objects and there are texts.
After reading the entire plan, it is all about explaining the advantages to the ethnic group, and the key is not to make empty promises.
After reading it all, the dwarf chief's mind changed completely.
From the beginning when he was looking for trouble gloomily, now he is no longer thinking about whether to cooperate or not, but how to come up with a super powerful gadget and shock the market with the help of a new generation of terminals!
The dwarf chief was busy pondering day and night, so he had no idea about the handicraft.
Nellie and the more than 10,000 extras, as if they were the patriarch, had tacitly agreed to this and began to work in an assembly line-like manner.
Three days later, Nellie found time to come and see Luke and complained sharply, "It's so troublesome. We are still working rather slowly."
Luka said calmly, "It's okay."
Nellie had someone bring in the containers: "Check these first."
The giant container was opened, and millions of 3D magic glasses were suddenly placed in front of Luke.
“…”
Luke, the capitalist, felt warmed instantly, and his heart turned red and black.
It can be seen that he may have developed less than 1% of the abilities of the dwarves.
--------------------
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
@圣庭, I don't understand why you want to establish a noble image.
Dwarf Chief: Compared to the Holy See, Luke is indeed pretty good.
Holy Court: Did I provoke you? !
The dwarf chieftain: You didn't take me with you when you made a lot of money, useless thing.
Alex passed by and silently gave a thumbs up.
Happy weekend! One hundred small red envelopes will be dropped randomly. If the nutrient solution is not expired, irrigate again on the first of next month. Love you guys~
