Chapter 26 Actor [VIP]
The feather pen floated in mid-air, casting a shadow over the three words below, making the writing appear more three-dimensional, even aggressive.
Luke let go of his hand in astonishment.
After a moment, his eyes fixed on the quill.
As if knowing what the other party was going to say, the quill was very calm: "I just wrote down your deepest desires."
It's deceiving itself.
But Luke couldn't be sure of the answer.
A long time ago, when the deformed heart automatically turned into a pen, it was proven that this thing could sense things related to desire.
"Become a king." Lujia frowned. Did he really have such a subconscious mind?
To some extent, this is indeed a solution.
He has now caught the attention of the demons, and quite deeply.
...the kind that is a thorn in my side.
But it is impossible to destroy a behemoth like the demon clan. If they cannot be destroyed, the only thing they can do is take the initiative to rule them.
Thinking of this, Luke couldn't help but move his throat.
The voice of the feather pen floated over at the right time: "The things you wrote will definitely not be circulated in the demon clan. Maybe they have been banned."
To the demons, Luke is still the insignificant shame of the demon world.
Feather Pen offered advice: "If you want to become king, you must first increase your popularity and influence among the demons. Huishou is a perfect opportunity."
The winner of Huishou was elected by public vote.
Overseen by the Demon King himself, the entire process is more open and transparent than that of the human race.
During this period, the Crown Prince must find ways to gain the support of his people, and have them publicly express their support for him, using wealth, military force, and public opinion to prove his strength in all aspects.
Lujia suddenly narrowed his eyes: "Why are you so concerned all of a sudden?"
Quill didn't answer.
Finally, under Luke's long gaze, he only said: "This matter is good for both of us."
After knowing each other for a while, Lujia could more or less feel that Quill's ill will towards him was getting less and less, and the relationship between them could even be described as... cordial?
It is unlikely that it will harm you.
Luke walked a thousand meters to the bed, and his heart was still beating fast until he fell asleep.
The more he tried to ignore the thought of becoming king, the deeper it became, and in the end it almost became a mark in his soul.
The final winner of Huishou was determined by public vote.
What could be more suitable for voting than fan culture? !
The more I thought about it, the more I felt like there was a way.
Luke tossed and turned, and still had his eyes open until the middle of the night.
A soft sigh came from the air: "What's there to worry about? You already had this ambition in your heart when we signed the blood pact."
Luke still denied: "Impossible."
He had just traveled through time at that time, and his mind was full of confused memories. He wanted to kill the Demon King, but he would never think of becoming the Demon King himself.
After he calmed down, he wondered if his original self had had similar thoughts.
A question that he had been deliberately ignoring came to his mind.
It would be fine if it was time travel, but how could it be such a coincidence? It just happened to be worn by a person who looked very similar to me.
After a while, Lujia took a deep breath and said, "Sure enough, we have to deal with difficulties with difficulties."
After thinking about it carefully, the initial shock of becoming a king disappeared.
After a bad night's sleep, when Luke woke up the next day, his eyes were red from the pupils to the corners of his eyes.
He planned to go to Leo first to ask about the situation outside. Berlani and Alice were still in the Holy City and would definitely say something using the communication stone.
There are luxurious headlights and various complicated decorations overhead along the way, and you will get caught on them if you are not careful when using the flying spell.
Luke could only walk like a mule, eating and walking. He even got lost once on the way, which made his already busy journey even worse.
After two hours, they finally found Leo. Luke's first words were: "No more words, let's have lunch first."
It's been from sunrise to noon.
“…”
Seeing him walking with a red face and panting, Leo said with a smile: "I have asked a craftsman to quickly set up the teleportation array. It will be installed by tomorrow at the latest."
The lunch was very rich, and Rio hired someone to prepare 'children's meals'.
It felt amazing to dine with the dragon. If it weren't for the animal milk specially prepared for him, Luca would definitely give it a five-star rating.
Holding the cup of milk, he forced himself to finish the drink while feeling embarrassed.
Wiping the milk stains from the corners of his mouth, Luke sat up straight and asked seriously, "Sir, do you have any news from the Holy City?"
Leo finally couldn't help laughing.
The child who was drinking milk one second ago disguised as an adult the next second. It is amazing that the saint and the devil could give birth to such an interesting child.
"You don't look like their biological child."
Luke said seriously: "The saint said so too. He said I was like him, but he didn't let me call him Holy Father right away."
A trace of thought flashed across Leo's eyes. "...If you really want to trace it back, there is some connection. The human saints came from the Holy Court, so they are of the same origin, but they fell out later."
Luke couldn't help but be somewhat curious about the Holy See and the Holy Maiden.
When he wanted to ask in detail, Leo only said: "The Holy Court was originally called the Divine Court. If you see people from this place, avoid them if you can."
It seemed that there was some hidden secret involved in this matter. Leo responded to his original question: "Alec was seriously injured, and the Demon King led his team back to the Demon Realm ahead of schedule. This time, the Demon Hunt will probably start ahead of schedule."
Luke's thoughts surged again.
The more I feel that what I have to do is the same as in the Huishou battle: make money, increase popularity, and have a larger fan base.
Unable to cope with all the tasks, he began to think about how to connect these goals together at the same time.
When Leo mentioned that the image of Luke playing the instrument was now circulating and even the largest opera house in the holy city was praising it, his already restless heart became even more shaken.
The scene of watching the opera with Lillian was still vivid in my mind, along with the thoughts that had arisen at that time, which also resurfaced.
Luke found a beacon.
Noticing the change in his facial expression, Leo hadn't spoken yet when he saw the boy walking towards him with a slightly excited look in his eyes:
"I want to make a movie. Can I shoot it on Dragon Island?"
"Movie?"
What?
"It's a play-like performance." Lu Jia added, "It's a story full of ups and downs."
Leo looked at him and found it hard to imagine how many novel ideas were in this little head.
He was not Karen. He didn't care whether the movie could bring benefits or its development prospects. He agreed without hesitation.
So much so that for many years afterwards, Leo regretted not asking the other party what subject matter he wanted to shoot.
In addition to the script, the two most important things in making a movie are the availability of capital and the presence of actors.
Lujia now has some capital, but it is definitely not enough to pay for the special photo stones needed to make a movie, so he needs to attract a few shareholders.
The issue of actors also needs to be resolved.
In just a moment, Luke had already figured out what type of movie he wanted to make.
This time he will personally participate in the performance.
As for other important roles, all the famous actors are in the Holy City and cannot be hired at all. If newcomers are used, it will not be conducive to the early promotion of the film. The current market is not mature and the audience will only pay for the actors they like.
And it costs a lot of money to hire famous actors!
Leo lowered his voice slightly, making his usual stern tone seem less oppressive: "Have you encountered any difficulties?"
Luke looked at him with a pair of bright eyes.
For some reason, Leo suddenly had a bad feeling.
At his level of strength, it would not be possible for him to have such a sixth sense inexplicably. Just as Leo was thinking about the source of the premonition, his sleeve was gently pulled.
Luke looked at him timidly:
"There is a dragon in the far east..."
Leo was startled.
"…I grew up under the feet of a giant dragon, and when I grow up I will be the descendant of the dragon…"
There was a sudden shout and the quill trembled, but fortunately Leo was also stunned, so he didn't notice it. He said this calmly one second, and started singing the next second because of a disagreement. Who can stand this?
Luke sang more and more vigorously.
Leo couldn't help but think of the dark alley on the street corner where they first met.
This song was not sung in vain. After being a lark, Lujia rubbed his hands gently: "Well, I want to find a 'daddy' on Dragon Island."
"?"
It’s not a godfather or godson, but a direct father. Apart from being a little surprised when he first heard it, Leo managed to remain calm.
After thinking for a while, he asked, "Is this the height you mentioned?"
On the way here, Luke mentioned that for controversial things, we should elevate them to a higher level.
So now we are looking for a father who can fly?
Well, it can indeed fly quite well.
The quill trembled again... What kind of illiterate logic is this?
Luke hurriedly explained: "I'm looking for an actor to play a role in the movie."
"...This movie is mainly about a family story. It has a strong family atmosphere and revolves around two parents and two children."
Leo grasped the core: "So you want to play the child yourself?"
Luke nodded.
Looking at the boy whose head was not even as tall as his chest, Leo wanted to laugh: "I can act it out."
Luke originally wanted to invite Leo, but in order to leave room for maneuver, he was more tactful. When he saw that the other party agreed so straightforwardly, his eyebrows immediately curved into a smile.
"Great, the image fits perfectly! It perfectly fits the setting of the father in this story, and requires a majestic and powerful appearance."
Luke said it without thinking, as if he was expressing his ideal image of a father.
Seeing him so happy, Leo actually felt a secret pleasure of becoming a father for the first time.
"Whatever you need, make a list for me later."
Luke nodded heavily.
…
To make a movie, you need a script.
After lunch, it took Luke another three hours to get back to his room, and when he got there, his first thought was that it was time for dinner.
The underground castle needs lighting at all times.
Light the lamp, pick up the pen, and start working.
The quills were forced to work together, the slightly higher body temperature was transmitted through the pen, and finally a few words fell:
"The Real and Fake Young Master of a Wealthy Family".
"What a perfect subject." Luke became more and more satisfied as he looked at it.
Quill: "Where is perfection?"
The name covers the content.
The only good thing is that it sounds more normal than "The Group's Pet is Three and a Half Years Old".
Inspiration came and could not be stopped, Luke quickly wrote:
[This world is divided into three levels according to the level of wealth: Floating Garden, Glorious Area, and Underground City.
Loran lives in the underground city, also known as the slums.
The only chance to change the fate of the lower class people is the entrance examination.
Because his grades were stolen, he had to accept the meager salary. One day, when he came home from work, he suddenly found a luxury car pulled by a rare animal parked outside.
A young man in his thirties, dressed in expensive clothes, stood beside the car and said in a deep voice:
"Loren Keppel."
Loran was just about to say that his name was Loran Hull, not Loran Keppel.
The man interrupted coldly: "You are the child of the Keppel family. You were taken away by mistake seventeen years ago. We are going to take you back now."
The Keppel family, one of the most prestigious families in the Floating Garden, possesses countless wealth. Many children who grew up in the underground city have the lifelong goal of serving them.
The young man claimed to be Luo Lan's brother and just said "get in the car".
Loran hurried to catch up, the sunlight shining in from the sky hit the young man's back.
He is about 1.8 meters tall, tall and calm.
So much so that for the next three years, Roland mistakenly believed that this was the first ray of light in his dark life.
"Brother." He called out carefully, "You, are you really my brother? Do I have any other relatives besides you?"
In fact, Luo Lan had doubted his own background more than once. He did not look like his current parents, and they treated him badly, either beating or scolding him.
The young man turned around and looked at him coldly with his narrow eyes: "Of course your parents are both healthy, and you have a younger brother. In fact, you were born on almost the same day."
When he mentioned his brother, the young man's eyes softened and a smile appeared at the corners of his lips. ]
Having written this, Luke picked up another piece of paper and wrote down the main characters:
Luo Lan (the real young master); mother; father; younger brother (the fake young master); older brother.
Passersby A, B, C, and D are also very important, and Luke begins to determine the supporting roles.
Fake parents, Wang Ma, housekeeper, maids, classmates from the aristocratic academy, teachers, and the principal.
Quill: "What is Wangma?"
Lujia: "Wangma is Wang Ma."
Wang Ma cannot be placed directly in this world. People who don’t know would think she is Wang’s mother.
"?"
Quill: "So it's another story about a protagonist who is just average in talent, but one day he suddenly gets lucky and is taken home and doted on?"
The configuration is the same with the new soup.
Boring.
Luke said proudly: "No, no, no, it's probably about a real young master who comes home and is not loved by his father and mother. All the love is taken away by the fake young master. The real young master tries very hard to make everyone like him. But he finds that no matter what he does, it's all in vain. In the end, he becomes hated by everyone."
The tip of the quill pen flicked heavily.
It found that it had underestimated Luke's potential.
When it thought that three and a half years was the opponent's limit, Luke proved with his strength: he had no limit.
Tick, tick.
Lujia calmly wiped the vomited blood with the feather pen, and said elegantly and domineeringly: "Go ahead and vomit. I will buy you blood and essence to replenish the amount you vomit later."
The sudden doting tone made the blood in the quill pen clogged at the tip, unable to move up or down.
“……”A bad guy born to be a devil.
The bloodstained tip of the pen suddenly turned a faint black. Contrary to its usual practice, the feather pen did not continue to complain about the content, but instead asked about the future of the film: "Where is your audience?"
Before writing the group pet article, Lujia had already made it clear that the dragon clan was the main market.
What about the real and fake young master?
"The whole continent." Luke naturally had his reasons for choosing this subject, and of course, he had already put into practice how to ensure the box office success.
The entire Holy Demon Continent admires the strong, and the dragon clan has many admirers. No matter what, they will come to see the stories performed by them themselves.
When it’s time to cut off, Lujia plans to divide the movie into two parts. In the first part, he plays a real young master who is hated by everyone. The ending is the awakening of the protagonist’s self-awareness. The second part is crematorium literature.
"When I cared about you, you cared about him and they cared about him too. Later, I didn't care about anything and they all regretted it only to find that I would never be able to care again."
That’s how cool it is!
"Luke." The feather pen was silent for a long time, and suddenly called his name.
"Um?"
"Do more human things." For the first time, it felt that "human" was a positive word and that human nature was more reliable than devilish nature.
Luke expressed his dissatisfaction.
“Do you know how terrible crematorium literature is?”
He didn't care whether the quill could understand these strange words or not. He continued to talk: "Even though you know 80% of the following routines, you still want to buy a ticket to see it in person."
He half-supported his head and smiled: "Besides, don't you think this topic is wonderful?"
After a brief thought, the feather pen did not continue to attack.
Real or fake young master? When someone infringes on someone else's identity rights, the victim is not welcomed...I see.
Luke is not worried about the release.
With the support of the Dragon Clan, except for the Demon Clan, the things I shoot should be able to be broadcast smoothly in all major realms in the future.
But he wanted to premiere in the Demon Realm more.
As long as the first part can be broadcast, he doesn’t need to worry about the second part at all. The audience will beg for it to be broadcast despite their contempt.
After finishing the first draft, Lujia was ready to take a break, but the feather pen said faintly, "Wait, tell me the plot of the second part first."
Lu Jia wondered: "Didn't we just summarize it?"
"Be more specific."
That was not enough to dispel the anger of the first half.
The feather pen floated to the tip of Lujia's nose and said coldly: "If you dare to forgive me or make excuses, I will let you know the consequences of angering me."
Some of the hard hairs rubbed against the sensitive area. Luke thought of the story of vomiting milk in the illusion last time and couldn't help sneezing.
…
"A-choo."
At the same time, the Hurricane Dragon, who had been staying up late to admire the surroundings, almost spit out dragon breath.
"Strange." Leo's tail circled the blind box, "Are you catching a cold?"
I've never heard of a dragon getting sick after it leaves its infancy.
While thinking, the sharp tail unconsciously replaced the hand and opened the last brand new blind box.
The cute little cub is holding berries on the island, so adorable and hardworking.
Hidden version, it’s a hidden version!
Although the merchant could ensure the hidden items by adding a price, they were all unpacked, so Leo certainly disdained it.
After failing countless times, he finally got it.
"Alice and Blanchett must not have opened it yet." Otherwise, they would have summoned them to show off.
The luck has changed.
As people say, when things reach their extremes, they will turn into their opposites.
His luck has changed!
The author has something to say:
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
In addition to the fact that everything will turn into its opposite when it reaches its extreme, humans also often say that energy is conserved. ——Alex
Leo: ...
Luke: I have read it but will not reply.
