Chapter 32 Released [VIP]
What's the first thing you do after getting rich?
Of course, it is to hoard space scrolls.
Lujia was successfully promoted to the Space Scroll Tuntun Mouse, and all the bet funds allocated to him by the feather pen were converted into a way to survive.
Instead of mocking him for spending money lavishly, the feather pen suggested sinisterly: "Stock up more."
Once the movie is released, audiences will run to see it.
nonsense!
Luke automatically corrected this sentence in his mind.
After watching the video, the fans were so enthusiastic that they rushed towards him when they saw him, so he had to hide from the limelight for a while.
"I feel much better." After the brainwashing was over, Luke showed a smile as warm as spring breeze.
Feather pen: “…”
Just as Luke had expected, the next two days were mainly spent on a war of public opinion.
The other crown princes pushed Alec to exaggerate his strength over the years, but he was defeated by Iliad's statement. Alec was not to be outdone and used the dragon clan as a fig leaf. It emphasizes that Iliad's rapid progress is closely related to the dragon clan, and even implies that the dragon clan may want to use the support of puppets to interfere in the internal affairs of the demon clan.
He also published in the newspapers a truncated account of what happened in the holy city.
[At the Ten Thousand Dynasties Conference, the Dragon Clan used an excuse to fight the Demon King, perhaps to test the Demon King's strength. 】
[The human race and the dragon race have had a close relationship in recent years. Will the dragon race form an alliance with the human race? 】
Of course, Alec didn't dare to offend the dragon clan openly, so he paid a large sum of money to hire some military strategists from the Demon Realm to write analysis articles.
The operation was not in vain, as it involved conflicts among the big families and the focus was successfully diverted a lot.
In this multi-party competition without the smoke of gunpowder, Luke, who was gradually ignored, successfully contacted the opera house.
The Dark City advocates luxury and enjoyment. There are nearly forty opera houses in total, and restricted singing and dancing are performed from time to time.
Luke exclaimed: "This is better than I thought it would be."
He originally thought that the theater would exclude him for fear of offending Alec.
Who would have thought that many merchants in the City of Darkness were backed by princes, who did not care at all whether or not to offend them.
After negotiating the last deal, the two parties strolled on the street, and the feather pen glanced at the onlookers who stopped around.
Luke is now a celebrity in the Dark City, and he can't hide by just changing a mask.
Using his eyes to intimidate the interviewer who wanted to come forward, Feather Pen said calmly: "If the Dark City is not divided up like a cake, how can the ruling power easily fall into the hands of a crown prince?"
The journey from crown prince to demon king usually takes hundreds of years or even longer. Before that, other princes will not give too much face.
Luke suddenly felt some sympathy.
An ordinary person would go crazy after being a crown prince for thirty or forty years. It would be strange if he didn’t go crazy after being a crown prince for hundreds of years.
No wonder the demons are in such a crazy mental state.
The owners of the first few theaters that reached an agreement had a unique vision and had already started promoting the competition while the heat of the competition had not yet died down.
I saw a promotional billboard floating in front of the largest opera house, and the length, width and height of the cast list almost covered the plot summary and concept poster.
Someone in the crowd noticed Luke and suddenly shouted:
"The Dragon Clan and the Human Clan may form an alliance. Are you really colluding with the Dragon Clan? Otherwise, why would they help you perform in the work?"
"...Do you want to get the demons' money and then deal with them?"
Who is it?
Luke paused.
You're actually giving yourself a boost at this critical moment when movie tickets are about to be released?
The quill easily found the speaker.
It was too noisy. Killing was not illegal in the Dark City, so he would just deal with the source of the noise.
Luke calmly pressed the back of his hand and shook his head slightly.
If you dare to do this, it proves that you are not afraid of death. If a bloody incident really occurs, it may be made into a big fuss.
When it comes to racial conflicts, some demons at the scene have already started to frown, and even the way they look at the posters has changed from curiosity at the beginning to a little hostile.
Luke said calmly: "The revenue of the opera house in one day is probably not as high as that of the duel arena. If the dragon race and the human race form an alliance, will they make so little money?"
The wealth of the dragon clan is known to the world.
He did not discuss the topic in depth, with his palm covering half of the mask. "This is my first appearance as an actor, I hope everyone will support me."
The keyword "appearance" attracted more attention than before.
They really wanted to know what Luke's true appearance was beneath the mask.
There were many visitors who had been to the Stone City for business and showed off the news they had: "I heard that Iliad had a beauty comparable to that of the Elf King. When she was bathing in the hot springs, she attracted the voyeurism of many races, including the Dark Elves."
The high-level dark elf who happened to be hanging out with Grover nearly blushed when he heard this.
Some time ago, those bastards from the light elves kept holding onto this matter and it became a huge uproar.
"How shocking is this kid's appearance?" the high-level dark elf asked through gritting teeth.
Without waiting for Grover to answer, the dark elf sneered: "Forget it, I'll go buy a ticket. I want to see what kind of face is under the mask."
Grover: “…”
The focus was completely off the track. The demon who had been shouting earlier walked out of the crowd in dismay and quietly took out the communication stone to report:
"Your Highness, I failed. I wanted to make Iliad a public enemy by using his death as a pretext, but he suddenly tried to sell his face, and I couldn't win."
Alec, who was recuperating from his injuries: "?"
Alec saw the details with his own eyes the next day.
The next morning, the news of "Lift Off Your Mask 2.0" successfully made headlines in major newspapers.
Originally in the Holy Demon Continent, appearance was not taken very seriously, and people paid more attention to strength.
However, since Luke came to prominence, he has basically been wearing a mask and wandering around major important occasions. He even tried to scam the Elf King, which became a hot topic for a while.
"Both the Demon King and the Saint are good-looking. I expect Iliad, as their son, to be no bad either."
How big the difference is, you can only know it by seeing it.
The actors were from the Dragon Clan and the Saint Clan, and their beauty was used as a marketing point. When the movie tickets were officially on sale, the line stretched from one end of the street to the other.
Some magicians who had just arrived at the Dark City did not know the situation yet, and when they asked curiously, they were blocked by one sentence:
"No matter what it is, buy it first. Didn't you see the prince even send servants to queue up to buy tickets?"
At worst, you can sell it at a higher price and make a small profit.
Seeing that the popularity could not be suppressed, Alec decisively did the opposite and ordered his men to spread the word privately that this was a groundbreaking work and that every shot would bring complete shock.
As expected, when movie tickets were selling like crazy, there were already a lot of dissenting opinions.
"Crossing the ages? How dare you brag about it? You are really too arrogant."
"It's really sad that the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Prince had a wonderful battle for the Lasai Valley, but it hasn't been published as the first edition of the news."
Luke had done something that had never been done before.
The rumors were exaggerated and despite overwhelming pessimism outside, tickets were selling like hot cakes.
Amidst various discussions, the first movie in the history of Holy Demon Continent was released on time!
————
In mid-July, it is recorded in the old books of the human race that all things are unfavorable on this day.
The originally hot weather has turned gloomy since this morning, and the whole dark city is filled with a sense of no sunlight.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the opera house located in the core area was extremely crowded and traffic was already in chaos.
As the gate was made rather narrow, the audience were now stuck together.
Many people came to join in the fun just for the cast, and those who were of status all chose the opera houses in the core areas.
After the two princes arrived together, the atmosphere reached a climax. One of them is the Fourth Prince who has been stealing the spotlight recently, and the other crown prince is the Fifth Prince Alicia, who is deeply loved by the Demon King's mother.
"Get out of the way." At this time, a stern shout was heard.
The crowd was amazed. Who was so bold as to shout like that when the crown prince was around?
The two princes also frowned.
The demon general led the way from behind, and a vehicle pulled by a giant hellhound came with flames and stopped next to the statue.
The demonic energy in the air immediately became extremely abundant. The source of the demonic energy was the two princes who were escorted by the demon generals.
All the audience quickly moved away, and some even bowed and saluted.
"Aman, I didn't expect you to join in the fun." The prince, who was over two meters tall and covered with muscles, was a little surprised.
The witch called Aman has a charming figure, and all the exposed skin is covered with magic patterns.
She hummed perfunctorily.
The prince who spoke earlier probably guessed the reason for her coming. Alec's biological father was once seriously injured by Aman and became a prince of the lowest rank. Alec has been very popular in the past two years, so Aman was naturally worried.
But unless there are special circumstances, the prince cannot attack the crown prince. This is the iron rule of the demon clan.
"I have to remind you, don't think that Eliade suddenly appeared, but that's all."
Everyone just wants something new, but can it remain new forever?
“After this screening, there will be an overwhelming amount of negative news about him.”
Even if the story is extremely good, it will eventually be criticized as worthless, and then Iliad will have no choice but to leave the city with his tail between his legs.
…
At the same time, Luke, wearing a cloak, found an inconspicuous place to sit in the opera house early in the morning.
He clearly saw some suspicious figures, so he took out a pen and paper and started writing special topics in advance. The topics were basically negative.
Luke is not afraid of argumentative people at all.
Anyway, the content is full of loopholes. Complain, are you done complaining?
His sudden burst of confidence made the man sitting next to him, Quill, look at him intently.
Why are you suddenly so proud?
The clock outside the opera house successfully rang the exact time. During this time, the audience had already taken their seats one after another, and the big screen with countless magic inscriptions lit up.
The film was screened simultaneously in 41 opera houses that had agreed to it, and all were packed.
Seeing that it was not a stage performance by real actors, the audience was a little uncomfortable. Fortunately, the effect presented on the screen was much better than that of the photo stone, and the field of view was very wide.
The story of the true and fake rich young master slowly unfolds under the gaze of countless people.
Accompanied by a burst of fast-paced music, the camera first shows the general environment of the downtown area.
Countless poor people live on the dark and narrow streets, and the whole scene is extremely gloomy.
In the repair shop, a young man is busy working under the urging of the customer.
"Wait a moment, it will be right away." The light shining on him can make you feel that the protagonist has a positive attitude towards life.
Because his head was half lowered, his true appearance had not yet been fully revealed.
“It’s a bit boring.”
In the first three minutes, the film sets the stage for the protagonist's school place being replaced and having to work three jobs a day, but the audience is unmoved.
The Holy Demon Continent does not believe in tears.
The people of the Holy Demon Continent do not believe in getting rich through hard work.
So their reaction to the protagonist working three jobs is…is this the end?
Finally, the protagonist returned home after a day's work and met his brother, whom he had never met before, next to a luxurious and precious animal carriage. The audience saw the protagonist's true appearance clearly.
Thin eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, naturally red eyes, and a straight nose.
A very standard beauty face, which still exudes the childishness of a teenager. It is hard to imagine how stunning she will be in a few years with more experience and maturity.
The audience sitting in the first row enjoyed the scene up close.
The fourth prince of the demon world is naturally immune to beauty. Today he just wanted to come and see what kind of thing could steal the limelight from his first victory in the civil war.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but sneer: "That's it?"
"That's it."
Before any more mocking words were uttered, the voice overlapped with that in the movie.
The attendant who was in charge of driving the animal cart whispered, "That's it. It's far inferior to the young master."
The fourth prince: "..."
The arrival of his brother reveals the identity of the protagonist, the real young master.
The audience understood it immediately. It was a masterpiece of fantasy, a story about poor people fantasizing about getting rich overnight. Faced with a plot that they had guessed, they already wanted to leave early.
I can hardly keep track of all the rubbish the journalists have been saying about the film.
The giant beast took off into the air and flew all the way to the magnificent floating city. The real young master sat very stiffly the whole time. He inadvertently caught a glimpse of the outside world. He couldn't help but open his mouth in amazement and took a closer look at the window.
"You have never seen the world." The fourth prince sneered.
The protagonist's eldest brother showed dissatisfaction in his expression: "What's so good about it?"
The real young master immediately became like a frightened deer and quickly sat back down.
The fourth prince nearly bit his tongue.
Bastard, he has already said everything, what can he say?
Putting aside the issue of being defeated first, the Fourth Prince always felt that there was something odd about the plot.
The Fifth Princess Alicia, who was sitting next to him, had been frowning since the beginning of the film. She seemed to have sensed that something was wrong, but couldn't put it into words.
Some of the audience who stood up to leave suddenly stopped.
The camera is introducing the protagonist's life experience in a flashback way. After the rebels stole the real young master, the subordinates brought their own child to the head of the family, saying that it was the child who was found. More than ten years later, the truth was accidentally exposed. The subordinate explained that the young master was in the hands of the rebels and was in danger. He was worried that his master would be sad, so he brought his own child with him.
The protagonist's parents chose to forgive and sympathize with his pain of being separated from his family for more than ten years.
The audience looked shocked.
Forgive?
If the child had not been replaced, which directly led to the protagonist's parents giving up looking for him, the real young master would have been found long ago.
That's all, and you still want to forgive me?
“You are sick!”
However, the plot was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, leaving them no time to react.
While waiting for the real master to come back, the fake master expressed his grievance that he did not want to leave his room. His parents immediately arranged for the maid to prepare a guest room for the protagonist, and the "family of three" hugged each other with emotion.
"?"
When the real young master came back, he was taken to the guest room without any surprise.
Behind him, the protagonist's mother asked the servant to light incense.
"This child has not learned any manners at all."
Even though he knew he was going to meet his parents, the clothes he wore still smelled of motor oil and he didn't even bother to tidy himself up.
There was total silence in the opera house.
The high-ranking dark elf turned his head stiffly. Not only him, but all the old friends invited by Grover looked over.
Is this how you dragons act as parents?
Where is the golden nugget that the group pet is promised to be?
The outrageous plot is still going on, and the eldest brother also looks disgusted.
The father played by Leo broke the silence coldly: "I'll teach you slowly in the future."
The fake young master came over and said, "Father, mother, don't be angry. Maybe it's the first day that Second Brother comes back and he's not used to it yet."
The protagonist's mother smiled with relief and said, "You are still sensible."
Audience: “…”
Crunch.
A reporter at the scene couldn't help himself and his nails went right through the thin paper.
At the beginning, he also looked down on the protagonist in various ways, but before this emotion could fully develop, the protagonist had already been doubly criticized. Everyone looked down on him, even the servants spoke coldly to him in private.
"Is it that serious?"
Isn't it because he has not received higher education and is a little weak that his whole family gives him the cold shoulder?
And that fake young master, he keeps feeling wronged, isn't he despicable?
Prince Aman had a hot temper and said directly: "The whole story was shot in a mess, and you have the nerve to release it publicly. What kind of parents would be like this?"
This is not a photo of normal parents at all, it's more like a mentally retarded child.
How can someone raise someone else's child and suppress his own children?
In the semi-dark environment, the invited high-level dark elves had strange expressions on their faces, and they belatedly realized something.
"Ah... isn't this similar to the relationship between Iliad and the Demon King?"
Grover seemed to speak for the devil and rebuked the prince: "Don't insult the devil's personality."
The whole place was silent.
In silence, the story of the abuse of the master is still rising. No matter what the real young master does, everyone dislikes him. He works twice as hard but is bullied at school. His grades finally improve a little, but his parents only say: "Ask your brother for help when you don't know something, and try to get into the top three in the academy as soon as possible."
Despite the absurd and disgusting plot, the audience just can't move away, subconsciously wanting to see how outrageous the plot can get.
A word from the high-ranking dark elves earlier made them uncontrollably enter the Demon King's family.
The devil actually has seven such fake young masters!
Seven!
The two crown princes: "..."
Now I finally know what’s wrong with this plot!
Click on them too!
Countless eyes uncontrollably glanced at the two crown princes in the front row.
Alicia's eyelids twitched.
Look at what I am doing.
I am a fake daughter.
After being stared at for a long time, the expression on the face of the Fourth Prince next to him became more and more unsightly. Finally, he couldn't help but turned around and glared at the person behind him fiercely.
At one glance, it met the eyes of more than 4,000 spectators present.
Both sides felt a pang in their hearts at the same time.
The audience was shocked, and the Fourth Prince had almost finished cursing in his heart, but his remaining rationality reminded him that if he smashed the opera house now, he might be regarded as angry and humiliated.
Seeing this, the muscular prince couldn't help but sneer.
This sound was a silent mockery to the Demon King.
He had long been fed up with the Demon Realm people's excessive deification of the Demon King.
But he soon felt that many eyes were gradually converging on him.
Aman had a blank expression on his face: "What are you laughing at? Didn't you also give a child to the Demon King?"
Among the seven crown princes adopted by the Demon King, one is from the family of the Muscle Prince.
You're a fake parent.
“…”
As the plot develops, the real young master is constantly denied throughout the process and gradually becomes disheartened.
The audience can no longer tell whether it is a fantasy film or a documentary.
While looking for similarities with the Demon King's family, they unconsciously focused on the plot and even felt involved in the story. In the end, they even developed a wish: they hoped that the real young master would be completely heartbroken and then have a big outburst.
The character with the strongest sense of immersion is the Centaur Chief, who almost ran out and trampled the big screen with his horse.
——They were all trampled to death.
Demon King, no, are Young Master Zhen’s parents sick? They only pick on their own children to cause trouble.
The real young master is the same. It has come to this, why not run away from home? What are you waiting for?
The high-ranking dark elves all had the same idea, and they ground their teeth into a rhythmic sound: "I heard that a few days ago, Leo asked my people to compose the music, and they became much more irritable after they came back."
He finally knew why he was so angry.
Grover pretended not to hear.
The plot was not as good as the audience wanted.
Whenever the real young master was about to give up, his parents or brother would give him some benefits like alms to rekindle his hope. Just when life got a little better, misunderstandings and twists and turns would come again.
This cycle repeats itself.
After being frustrated to the extreme, there was finally a climax!
The truth of Master Zhen being falsely accused of stealing was revealed, and his family apologized to him for the first time, saying that they would trust him in the future.
The next day, the real young master and the fake young master were kidnapped at the same time.
The arrogant kidnapper stood at the bow, laughing wildly: "You can only save one of the two, who are you going to save?"
The eldest brother and parents subconsciously looked at the real young master first.
The audience all sat up straight.
Is the counterattack finally coming?
The author has something to say:
Excerpt from Luke's diary:
My secret to success is to create with love and heart.
Alex: The secret to your survival is probably to go incognito immediately after filming the movie.
Luke: ...
Happy Lantern Festival!
