Chapter 480 "Kyushu Past 1: Ancient Country Old Dream"
After a long period of careful planning, "Kyushu Past 1: Old Dreams of the Ancient Country", a movie that has been teased for a long time, is finally about to enter the final stage.
Hence, Su Yun began to devote herself to the post-production tasks and the corresponding strong publicity activities, raising the title of "big production" on one hand and putting together an "all-star" lineup on the other, joining forces on both fronts to capture the attention of the world with great momentum.
However, whether it is the exquisitely produced and stunning posters and trailers, or the long list of actors that is definitely endless after just one or two glances, it seems to remind people of the distant memory of the epic blockbuster "The Queen of Egypt"...
Stop, "The Queen of Egypt" was born at the wrong time and ended up in failure. It's impossible to compare this old veteran who did everything perfectly and had no luck from the beginning to the end with the lucky Marilyn who was placed on the altar by Hong Kong people.
Although both of them do have the "special charm" of epic blockbusters, in this realistic and magical circle, small hits rely on promotion, while big hits rely on luck.
Therefore, even though "Kyushu Stories 1: Old Country, Old Dreams" looked very attractive and desperate, Marie Sue, a woman with an overly ambitious mind, still put a lot of thought and effort into giving this film, which was obviously a very ideological dream-chasing film, a commercial atmosphere of big-win before it was released.
She actually turned a historical record that should have been heavy and profound into a seemingly light-hearted but actually turbulent love and hatred!
When the title and subtitle of this movie were lit up on the big screen, the figure that sounded extremely distant and ethereal began to tell the story of this strange continent called "Kyushu" and the origin of everything.
On this continent divided into nine parts by magical power, there live countries of varying sizes, as well as citizens who depend on each continent and country for survival and reproduction.
Because the location, shape and size of each continent are different, the eight continents located in all directions always bear various natural disasters and man-made disasters. Sometimes they are prosperous, and sometimes they are in dire straits.
The only exception is the best-located central mainland, which has been monopolized for a long time by a powerful country called "Zhong Kingdom". To this day, it has been glorious for more than 5,000 years.
The name "Zhongguo" not only takes the royal family's surname, but also takes its homonym and meaning of "Central Continent", as well as the special longevity physique that the "Zhongguo" royal family is gifted with, and the historical achievements of "Zhongguo" that have been strong and prosperous for 5,000 years.
The word "clock" undoubtedly means that this country and its people control the "time" that everyone desires infinitely but is difficult to obtain.
Whether it is the "longevity" of the royal family or the "longevity" of a strong national power.
Because of the long-term strength and prosperity, as well as the longevity of the royal family of the Zhong surname, the royal heiress of this generation, Princess Zhong Yao, often traveled around the outside world with her caravan before she officially ascended the throne.
By the way, it also allows the fleet of vehicles engraved with the "Jong Kingdom" pattern to travel back and forth across the continent and exchange what they have with other countries on the continent.
The goods of "Jong Kook" are very popular, and the eldest princess of "Jong Kook" is even more popular and loved than ever before.
Romulus, the heir of the ancient Roman Empire, is one of the best. His eyes, as green as spring, are always filled with the beautiful reflection of Princess Zhong Yao.
Unfortunately, the goddess Wumeng was still young. Although the beautiful princess was on good terms with Romulus, she did not have many romantic feelings for him. After bidding farewell to this "old friend", she set off again, leaving Romulus, who had been left behind countless times, sad.
At this time, neither of them knew yet that this farewell might be their last.
When the beautiful princess led the convoy through the northern continent, which was covered with ice and snow all year round, she once again took action to save a new and weak country and saved a boy named "Ivan".
Moreover, just like she did when she rescued the girl Aju from the eastern mainland, Zhong Yao left a lot of supplies and books to the young Ivan, guiding the growth of these two weak younger generations and winning their heartfelt love.
Occasionally, Zhong Yao would take her three younger brothers and sisters with her to travel together. While teaching them business skills, she also let them play games with Ivan and Aju, who are about the same age as her, during each trip to deepen their emotional connection.
Years like these seem like a cup of warm water in winter, soothing and heartwarming, cozy and peaceful.
However, bad news always comes unexpectedly when one is least prepared. When the distant wind brought the news of Romulus' accidental death, Zhong Yao, who once thought that nothing could cause her emotions to fluctuate greatly, suddenly heard a faint sound as if something seemingly powerful suddenly had a crack.
That could be - her heart.
Because we take it for granted before we realize it, we finally start to realize it when we are leaving, and then we feel heartbroken.
What is frustrating is that cruel bad news always comes one after another. Before Zhong Yao can get over the grief, the previous king of "Zhong Kingdom" also collapsed while handling the country's internal affairs, and there is no way to save him.
The once carefree princess finally had to stand up amidst all the storms and take on the heavy burden of history.
The coronation ceremony of the heir of the most noble and beautiful Eastern Kingdom was said to be magnificent and dazzling, and all the guests were full of praise. However, when it came to the throne at the highest point in the venue, all the guests just smiled and said nothing...
As Zhong Yao's descendants, Zhong Jian, Zhong Xiang and Zhong Hao were the assistant organizers of the coronation ceremony.
After Zhong Yao went to change her clothes, the youngest Zhong Hao looked around the venue and started shouting, "Everyone, please greet the most honorable princess of our Zhong Kingdom with the most pious attitude—"
"Just based on this identity, it's not worth my sincere welcome." Francis from France leaned to the side with a half-smile on his face.
Everyone knows that when the person who is capable of ruling a country or a region has fallen, the next generation of leaders who have just taken office but whose foundation is not stable will face cruel covetousness.
And now, they... are finally waiting for that day to come.
"What do you mean?" Zhong Hao, who had a hotter temper than his other two siblings, immediately got angry when he heard this response.
"Don't be nervous, I just said that I don't want to be so polite to a "distinguished person", but I am more than happy to do my best for the beauty of Princess Zhong Yao." Francis smiled as usual.
Before that day comes, I have to suppress the ambition that is overflowing in my chest.
Although he managed to suppress his anger after being persuaded by Zhong Xiang and Zhong Qin, Zhong Hao still couldn't help but lower his head and glanced at the so-called guests who seemed sincere but were actually fake with his barely noticeable cold eyes.
Even Ivan and Aju, who used to play and have fun with them, seemed to have changed with the ruthless passage of time.
Maybe...they are not the only ones who have changed.
As Zhong Hao thought so, he couldn't help but look up along the two hands holding him, and fell on his two brothers and sisters.
Complex waves hit his heart one after another. The scene before him, which looked so prosperous, bustling and magnificent, made him feel dizzy and panic-stricken.
But they agreed that they would make sure that their eldest sister's coronation ceremony would be held smoothly and beautifully!
After pinching his fingertips secretly, Zhong Hao looked around quietly again. After confirming that his two brothers and sisters beside him had some secrets but were not in big trouble for the time being, he turned his attention back to the curtain embellished with gold threads.
Soon, his eldest sister, who had gone through hardships but had the strength to support a country, would appear amidst the myriad brilliance of gold, jade, pearls, and other treasures of the world. Then, with her peerless beauty, she would suppress all the glittering jewels and gems in the world, as well as all the evil spirits in the venue...
"Yao Ji ascends the throne————"
Following a long warning, the peerless princess, whose fame was unrivaled throughout the world, came slowly in, amidst the attention of the crowds.
Different from his gentle and graceful appearance in the past, when the ruler of a country took off his carefree plain clothes and then put on a dazzling robe that symbolized glory, it officially symbolized the emergence of a new generation of overlord candidate.
As the successor of the new generation leader of the most powerful country, Zhong Yao has added a bit of the awe-inspiring aura that comes from the most powerful country to her beautiful face.
This is the new fire of the most powerful country at present, and it is also the residual power of the most powerful country that has maintained its power for the longest time... it is still there!
Therefore, even though the successor appears gentle and weak, the brilliance of precious stones woven with gold and silver threads can still make people vaguely remember the dusty past and magnificent dreams of the Eastern Kingdom.
"She"... was once beautiful and charming enough, and once had the power to overwhelm all the heroes, becoming the unforgettable dream and nightmare in the deepest memory of all countries in the world.
One by one, the guests bent their self-proclaimed "noble" bodies to follow Zhong Yao's steps. It was as if they were an overlord on tour, being greeted respectfully by the crowds.
Zhong Yao, who had managed to hold on until this moment, finally couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in her heart, unknown to others.
The view from a completely superior position was so wonderful that at that moment, all her complicated emotions faded away, and were replaced by the ambition to continue her glory.
Looking down at the dark crowd and the brothers and sisters with complicated looks, Zhong Yao raised his head slightly, looking just like the most glorious and moving figure of the former Eastern Kingdom.
But... amidst all the bowing and congratulations, there were some eyes that seemed like "alien forces suddenly emerging", starting from the bottom up, looking towards the peak.
The wide screen using the latest technology records everything truthfully.
The scene of the nations coming to pay tribute and the people congratulating each other, on the big screen that can see the whole picture, shows the "secret" that no one noticed at that time in the play.
At this moment, the new king, who is indulging in enjoying the tribute from all nations, can he realize from this lonely and high position that such "congratulations from ten thousand people" is actually a hidden "covetousness from ten thousand people"?
As for the succession ceremony of the absolute king, isn't it the silent lament of the ancient great nation in its twilight years: time waits for no one?
The pattern of a new generation competing for supremacy has quietly taken shape amid the astonishing and complex gazes of people outside the play.
