"Does a product of Wajima need to contact the miko of Wajima Taisha?"
If Lu Ban had known that he would need this thing earlier, he should have asked Hongye for one no matter what.
However, since it is something like an amulet, you should be able to get it as long as you go to Hedao. It is much easier to obtain this material.
Originally, Lu Ban thought that with the refinement of [Last Words], the difficulty of obtaining materials would become higher and higher, but now it seems that there is no such thing?
He looked at the second material.
【The Legend of Heming's Ascension】
[Adapted from the script of the Heming Taoist's Legend of Ascension in the Daytime]
[Performed many times in the Grand Theater of Feidu and received numerous praises]
[The reason for the interruption of the performance is unknown]
"It's Taoist Heming again. This guy has a strong presence."
Lu Ban had seen traces of Taoist Heming in the descriptions of many items in the abandoned city. This Taoist who was seeking immortality seemed to have glimpsed the truth of the world through meditation, and eventually achieved enlightenment and ascended to heaven. He also left many notes for future generations to refer to. If most of these notes did not carry knowledge that could cause pollution, this Taoist would have been quite kind.
This material looks like a script, and it was a very popular play in the past. In the previous mission, Lu Ban could choose the theater in the abandoned city. A certain troupe in the theater seemed to have encountered trouble. I don’t know if it is related to the script of [The Legend of Heming’s Ascension].
"Since it is a play about his ascension, perhaps the plot itself is contaminated."
Lu Ban pondered and looked at the third material.
Pale Heart of the Winter Wolf
[The third of the twelve demonic tides in the Black Forest, the initiator of the frost is the winter wolf]
[The ground is frozen, and in the pale snow, the figure of a wolf emerges]
[That howl is the death knell]
Good job.
Lu Ban exclaimed, "What a good guy."
The first two look pretty normal, but the third one is completely different.
"There are many monsters hiding in the Black Forest of the Kingdom of Night. The Demonic Tide is probably an invasion of monsters? I think there was something called a blood moon before. Maybe when a red moon rises in the sky, monsters will emerge from the Black Forest in large numbers and attack nearby villages, towns, and even cities."
The Grey Tower therefore established Agents, mages who walk along the border of the Black Forest to monitor the condition of the forest.
Shia is one of them.
"If it's just an ordinary monster, it's fine. This winter wolf looks like a small boss. We have to wait until the demon tide comes. Maybe we need an opportunity."
Lu Ban deeply felt how difficult it was to achieve essence.
He searched for these materials and soon found the [Lucky Amulet] worth 200,000 Silence Points and the [Crane's Ascension] worth 250,000 Silence Points, but the [Pale Heart of the Winter Wolf] was nowhere to be found, which meant that it was a higher-level material and the price must be over 500,000.
“I can’t afford it.”
Lu Ban felt that he was too poor.
Based on the income of more than ten thousand each time, even if Lu Ban frantically completed the tasks of [Erosion] difficulty, it would take hundreds of times.
He came up with the idea of [alienation].
After the trip to Hedao, Lu Ban had unlocked the missions of the [Alienation] difficulty, but the difficulty of the missions at the Nanhua Private Renji Hospital was locked, and there was no [Alienation] to choose in the [Nameless City], so he had not yet experienced this more advanced difficulty.
According to the previous rules, the point reward for [Alienation] difficulty should be four times that of [Mortal] difficulty, but when Lu Ban saw the expensive things in these stores now, he felt that the Land of Silence was not so reasonable. Maybe the multiplier for [Alienation] would be higher. Otherwise, who could easily afford the goods that required dozens of high-difficulty tasks to buy.
"Next time, I'll choose the [Alienation] difficulty. It's settled."
Even out of his own curiosity, Lu Ban was prepared to choose the [Alienation] difficulty later.
Recollecting his thoughts, he looked back at his career development tasks.
With his previous films winning awards and selling well at the box office, Lu Ban has become a somewhat famous director.
Not to mention that "The Wailing" will be released in theaters across the country at the end of the year. By then, the movie may be able to hit the box office of over 100 million yuan. As far as horror and thriller themes are concerned, this is already a very good result.
Therefore, Lu Ban was a little curious about what other tricks he could do.
【Career Development Tasks】
[Those who stick to the old ways and never change don’t deserve success. Try new areas and respond to doubts with diverse creations. The door to a new world is opening to you.]
[Task requirements: Build your own movie universe and gain millions of attention]
【Establishing the Movie Universe: 0/1】
【Attention: 0/10000000】
[“New Century Money-Making Plan, Start!”]
"?"
When Lu Ban saw the task requirements, he was stunned.
"Building a cinematic universe?"
As we all know, movies in the past were stand-alone films. A small number of popular ones would have sequels, but the quality of the sequels was usually not as good as the first. There were also some films that had too many sequels and there was nothing left to explore in the whole story, so they simply found a reason to resurrect the people who had died before and continued filming the same old routine.
Later, the film companies also realized that they couldn't just catch one sheep and fleece it. If they always made a movie with one or two people as the protagonists, they would always exhaust the value of the characters, causing the personality to collapse and the plot to fail.
Therefore, some film companies have learned to explore the stories of supporting characters and make sequels for popular supporting characters. This allows them to take advantage of the popularity of the original work without consuming the characters too quickly. Sometimes the spin-off is even more popular than the original, and the supporting characters become the protagonists.
Later on, many producers simply took each member of the main character team out to make a separate movie, or even released a personal movie first, and then a movie in which they all participated, thus forming the term "movie universe."
The advantage is that different characters respond to different audiences, and with the blessing of a personal movie, it also helps with character creation. Compared to adding length to the portrayal in a hodgepodge, an entire personal movie is obviously more appropriate.
"But, although I acted in all my videos and movies, the supporting roles all died, and those who can't be found can't be found anymore..."
Lu Ban was thinking.
Besides, the styles and customs of the abandoned city, the wasteland, and the Kingdom of Night are all different. It is a bit far-fetched to say that they are from the same world.
Moreover, this amount of followers does not seem to include Lu Ban’s own account, which means he needs to create a new account?
Lu Ban took a look and saw that the mission would last for three months.
That is to say, by February next year, after the Chinese New Year, Lu Ban’s new account will reach 10 million followers.
“It’s a bit difficult.”
He thought about it and decided to search the Internet for relevant information first.
