Chapter 74 Promotion
=====================
Under the moonlight, Nellie's eyes burned with flames.
Luka thought about it seriously, and finally nodded reluctantly: "Okay."
After successfully getting the answer she wanted, Nellie put on her cloak and disappeared into the night.
After making sure she was far away, Luke leaned against the door frame with his arms folded, no longer showing his previous reluctance.
When he turned around, his eyes met the feather pen inside the house.
The two sides looked at each other and smiled.
Luke shrugged: "She took the initiative to pay for it out of her own pocket."
The feather pen said: "Reshooting it will take a lot of your energy, remember to ask her to give you mental compensation."
I never expected that the concept of the first mental damages compensation on this continent would come from the mouth of a feather pen. Luke shook his head in a sigh: "Forget it."
Sometimes you have to be a gentleman.
Feather Pen's brows slightly tightened, his eyes swept across the table, and he suddenly asked: "Why didn't you use this training method when you were exiled?"
Luke: Huh?
Quill: "Like hitting the heart hard, mixing whips with candy."
Luke: “…”
Don't replay it randomly, thank you.
Due to the strong protest from the lead actor, Luke re-shot the first scene the next day.
This time, Nellie paid special attention to the camera and tried her best to show her best self. She even got up early to ponder her lines word for word.
As for the bullshit agreement with the Holy See, it had long been forgotten under the temptation of producing a film.
The leading actor has been chosen, but the extras are still making trouble.
Payet, who plays the prince, said: "Sister, you are forging iron..."
What was it?
He forgot the words.
It doesn't matter, Paye started counting one, two, three, four, five, six.
"Cut." Luke did not let it go like he did in the past few days. He called out "Cut" directly and asked the boy to come over and explain the play to him.
From expressions to actions, all kinds of criticisms.
Payet sneered and started to get stuck on purpose because he was not convinced.
He didn't know that Nellie had secretly met with Luke last night and offered to pay for a reshoot. Just as he was doing the opposite, he was slapped hard on the head, making him dizzy.
Nellie jumped high and only just landed on her feet. She said expressionlessly, "Focus."
Is my money made of paper? Burn it for you.
Under Nellie's violent control, the scene finally reached perfection.
On the other side, after inspecting the terrain for road construction, Blaney came back and was a little surprised to see this scene.
When did the dwarves become so cooperative?
He wondered, "What happened?"
Lu Jia said softly: "Don't try to guess what the actress is thinking."
“…”
The morning shoot went smoothly.
During the lunch break, when Nellie was busy moisturizing her skin, Lord Moko came over and said to Luke, "You are taking advantage of others. Today, these dwarves are looking for trouble even more."
In addition to demanding a free meal, they also did a lot of tricks to try to extort compensation from the store.
Luke had actually witnessed several outrageous claims.
He nodded to show that he understood the situation, looked at the scorching sun above his head, and asked about the construction of the canal.
Those problems with the dwarves are minor ones. There are more important things to do now. Drought is the biggest obstacle to the development of Moko City.
“It will take some time to divert water from the main river which is far away.”
Luke seemed to be thinking deeply after hearing this, and when filming resumed, he suddenly filmed the extras' scenes ahead of time.
It would take a long time to put makeup on 10,000 dwarves, which made the shop owner who was still being harassed by them breathe a sigh of relief.
After putting on makeup and changing clothes, the dwarves were assigned magic hoes one by one.
According to Luke, they were going to be controlled by spirits after their country was destroyed and become slaves to dig canals.
At first, the dwarves were distracted by the makeup and did not react quickly. After working a few hoes in the fields, they soon realized something was wrong under the scorching sun.
"Asshole! Are you trying to trick us into working as laborers?"
They even sent demons to act as supervisors nearby. Isn't this a blatant provocation?
The supervisor's eyes are more accurate than those of a dark elf, and he can immediately catch any second of laziness.
Lord Moko was secretly pleased, but also somewhat puzzled. His Highness had clearly been patient for a while, so why did he suddenly start to escalate the conflict?
Infuriated, a dwarf immediately threw down the magic hoe and said, "I think you are deliberately playing tricks on our tribe and tricking us into coming to work."
They are doing two jobs for one salary!
Of course Luke did it on purpose.
But he stood there calmly and suddenly talked about the content of the movie: "I want to shoot a story of revenge."
He used a lot of fancy words to start his speech. He described the Hammer of War as almost the most terrifying weapon in history, and it was a growing weapon at that.
When Blanchett went to recruit actors, he didn't mention the plot at all.
So far, the scripts that the dwarves have received are all the scenes that need to be filmed that day.
When they heard that the hammer of war with seven attributes attracted the coveted attention of the Outer Gods, they felt very involved.
After feeling immersed in the experience, I suddenly realized a shocking fact.
In the other party's description, the dwarfs are always the main perspective.
The dwarfs are obviously based on them.
Could it be that they are going to film the dwarves throughout the entire process? !
In their minds, even Nellie only accounted for one percent of the role at most. Throughout the entire continent, no one had ever written a story with a dwarf as the protagonist.
Even the dwarves themselves don’t write about it.
Luke was still speaking with great emotion:
"The Outer Gods stole the Hammer of War. The Giants slaughtered the Dwarves. They followed the Sirens' songs and kept the survivors captive to use as slaves of the lowest order."
"The dwarf princess was rescued at the critical moment. After a series of hardships, she eventually grew into a true God of Forging!"
At the back of the team, Nellie, who had just been called by Payet, was shocked when she heard this.
Payet was stunned.
He originally wanted to let Nellie, who suddenly cooperated with the filming, see the face of this dog demon, but ended up seeing this scene.
"God," Payet muttered, "He actually wants to use us as prototypes to film God?"
Nellie was in disbelief at first, and then her heart began to beat wildly.
The god of forging.
Her?
Luke took in these surprised emotions.
Dwarves are the typical people who only care about food and not about beatings.
If you emphasize from the beginning that you want to make a movie with them as the protagonists, the dwarves will definitely think that you are trying to please them. Not only will they not be moved, but their attitude will become even more condescending.
Emotional progression is important, but it’s different now.
Glancing at Nellie from the corner of his eye, Luke turned his head and said, "Of course, Miss Nellie can freely play the plot after being rescued. I will modify the script as appropriate."
His tone became softer and softer, as if he was considering the other person: "For example, in the end you were relieved, saw through life and death, and gave up revenge. But you also became a god by chance."
Liberal literature, anyone?
The scene from yesterday's shooting came to mind.
No other life could be seen in the yellow sand, and all the blood plasma had dried up on the ground, giving a sense of empty purgatory on earth.
An inexplicable anger burned from the bottom of my heart.
Nellie came back to her senses, her throat congested, and she reflexively uttered two words: "Bullshit."
How can we forget the hatred of losing our clan?
"Then arrange a romance between you and the prince of the enemy country?"
Not to mention Nellie, the other dwarves all looked at Luke with murderous eyes.
After confirming that the script would not be changed, Lujia turned to the extras again. "The extras' roles are as important as the main characters. Regarding what happened after the fall of the country, I referred to an ancient story in human history that is about to be lost - sleeping on straw and tasting gall."
He emphasized the reasons why the spirit of sleeping on straw and tasting gall could lead to success.
If you endure hardships yourself, people around you will be able to endure hardships even more.
"The people around him suffered a lot, so the protagonist became the best!"
Extras: “…”
It felt like something was not right, but one thing after another, they just couldn't react at all.
After delivering his shocking speech, Luke shouted, “Come on, start shooting!”
He stressed to the staff on the hillside: "The camera must record the ugly faces of the supervisors and the dwarfs' endurance of humiliation!"
The atmosphere suddenly became heated.
The magic hoe swung vigorously, the dwarf began to work, and Nellie began to dream...
Lord Moko shook his head.
what happened?
At what step did he fail to keep up?
There are various working shots, and some dwarves are assigned to plant trees and pull stones.
Luka winked at the staff, meaning that they should just take a few photos and not waste magic stones.
At around seven or eight in the afternoon, Luke re-shot the scene at the beginning of the war.
Unlike yesterday's slackness, this time, the two armies faced off like mortal enemies. Some dwarves even quietly took off their restraints, even for a few seconds, in order to give their opponents a good beating.
The horn sounded on the vast battlefield.
Feather Pen was in control, and Luke recorded and edited the show on the spot.
The whole shooting effect exceeded Luke's expectations. After adding the sound of metal collision and magic elements, it became the most realistic battlefield.
He did not forget to send it to the two elves in charge of arranging the music, in an attempt to inspire them.
On the other hand, the light elf and the dark elf had been in pain for several days. When they ate with their eyes closed, they could hear musical notes jumping around. They deeply regretted the harsh words they had said.
The only consolation is that I heard that Luke is working with 10,000 dwarves. According to the character of the dwarves, it will take at least half a year to complete the filming.
"No rush, there's still plenty of time."
Just as they were comforting themselves, they received something from Luke.
Still starting from zero frame, pupils tremble.
The Light Elf and the Dark Elf looked at it three times in disbelief.
[Luke Review: Let’s do our best (X waist)]
"!"
How could such a shocking scene be shot in less than ten days? How was this shot?
Will the composer be allowed to survive?
Since we accurately grasped the character of the dwarves, the filming progress has been rapid.
The Klin Watchtower Joint Building has been completed, and other ethnic groups have successively sent in other staff, which has made filming more convenient.
Wherever there is a need for guest appearances by other races, we can just go there to scout the locations.
Denton and the other dragons are all at the Klin Watchtower. Every time they go out on location, Luke will follow and take part in the drama between the real and fake young master.
As a dragon in decline, Denton had only one thought after filming the crematorium scene:
The dragon's life is complete.
For the first time in his long life, he experienced being a lowly person in a play.
In order to thank the dragon clan for their cooperation, Lujia added a daily extra chapter when updating the second part of Three and a Half Years Old in the evening.
Luke is so busy shooting two movies in a row that he is like a whirlwind.
Occasionally, there are one or two dwarves who disobey orders, and they can't find a chance to find trouble.
The only thing to be thankful for is that most of the subsequent filming work was handed over to Quill, which has its strong point of battles and is adept at shaping ancient battlefields. Luke only needs to play his few roles well.
The rescue took less than two minutes, and Luke was very demanding, even doing several NGs in a row.
In terms of special effects, in addition to relying on magic, there are also dragons flapping their wings and turning the clouds.
Above the sky, the galaxies seemed to be stirred out, creating the most stunning special effects.
As the days passed and the public was still immersed in discussing the decisive battle between the Elf King and the Saint, an official account of a movie called "Forge the God" suddenly came online.
After the official account was successfully registered, only one dynamic was released:
[See you in early spring in March.] 】
The Holy See, which had been keeping an eye on Luke's movements, discovered it almost immediately.
The maid in charge of keeping watch was rather troubled: "It's only been a short time since then, and he's already filmed a movie?"
The eldest prince of the demon clan hasn’t even passed the seventh day yet.
Another maid solemnly reminded: "It's already a full moon."
Prince Nottingham, Alec's father, is said to be dying soon.
“…”
Of course she knew it was a full moon, but if Iliad wanted to do something, he should at least wait until the other party was over a hundred days old!
The maid sighed softly, "I'm sure Her Majesty will be a little furious when she hears this."
The dwarves took the bribes but did nothing, and Iliad's speed in getting things done was astonishing.
The Holy See has not yet resolved the crisis of trust brought about by the life fluid, and in the blink of an eye, the other party’s second movie is about to be released.
"It's the third part." Another maid corrected.
"???"
"Our spies reported that Iliad is also filming the sequel to the True and False Young Master movie at the same time."
“…”
The official account was registered less than half a day ago and without any publicity, but because the name in the director column was popular, it caused quite a bit of discussion that night.
The public's response was surprisingly consistent:
Compared to the movie itself, I am more curious about how he manages to work all year round. 】
[Maybe killing Alec was just a convenient thing to do. 】
[…Give the Death Demon some respect!] 】
Under the confidentiality agreement, the dwarves who did not participate in the filming did not know the specific content of the movie.
No one immediately linked the word "forging" with the ethnic group. Due to the secret instigation of the Holy Court, many dwarves had already begun to resist in advance.
Alec's death caused them to lose a big client, and rumors of smearing the film were rampant.
Most of them are directly targeted at the previous film, True or False Young Master. Netizens’ conclusions are unprecedentedly unified: they will definitely not be deceived by going to the opera house this time!
The Holy Court also took explosion-proof measures in advance.
They prepared special photo stones and engraved inscriptions on them that could resist most tracking magic, making it easier to secretly film.
"Once the movie is released, the video will spread immediately, and naturally no one will be willing to go to the opera house and waste money."
In addition, they have also taken a move and buried a big mine, waiting to explode at a critical moment.
Things are different now, Luke has become the number one target of the Holy See. No matter what he did, the Holy See would stop him at all costs.
Luke was busy, which made his enemies even busier.
It's a pity that the person concerned didn't feel that he was very talented at all. In fact, because the second half was mainly directed by Quill Pen and he was only responsible for providing the script, he felt that he had stolen a little time from his busy life.
Just when everything was going well, Luke suddenly received a message from Lillian: [Someone is setting up a channel in your name recently, so it is better to be careful [菜刀][菜刀][菜刀]. 】
The public has a good acceptance of emoticons, and they have almost become a must-have in daily chats.
Luke couldn't take care of too many things at once. He had always asked Lillian to pay more attention to the information on the Internet, as she was very sensitive about it.
Beside him, Feather Pen suddenly said, "There are threshold restrictions for joining the channel. You are required to provide your novels and any purchase records of group pet peripherals."
Do you understand it so clearly?
As if knowing what he was thinking, Quill said calmly, "I added it in."
Even Lillian noticed it, so he must have noticed it a long time ago. Not only that, he also got the position of deputy administrator.
Luke thought for two seconds and grasped the key point: "They are all my fans... they are all my supporters who like me, right?"
Feather Pen stopped practicing, and his recovery progress has been rapid recently. Except for the palms, almost the entire body grew flesh and blood again.
Hearing the question, he leaned back lazily and gave a comprehensive assessment.
"The administrator who originally set up the channel has problems. He is a human. Some members of the channel also have problems. They are deliberately leading others in a radical direction. Do you want to take a look?"
He opened the terminal.
There are 99+ messages in the channel and the chat is very lively.
[Sui Han: Everyone, I saw a comment today accusing the ghost story game of being garbage [picture]. 】
The screenshots were full of doubts about the game, and the words were not actually too intense, but this immediately aroused dissatisfaction among some true fans.
【LuoBoKeng: …If it’s not fun, you can just not play it. Why are you scolding me?! [anger]】
[Piaobo Xiaozhu: That’s right, some people started cursing before they even started playing. 】
…
So far, it's pretty normal, limited to complaints from game lovers about those who hold different opinions.
But I don't know when the wind changed.
【Sui Han: Everyone, let’s team up to help Lujia curse back! 】
[One, two, three, four: That’s right, help Luke curse back! 】
[Help Luke curse back!] 】
Among human fans now, the majority call him Luke, which invisibly distinguishes him from the demons.
When emotions get together, everyone starts talking like a tape recorder.
Luke flipped through it twice, fanning the flames, expressing his true feelings, and responding to the call of all...
"What are they helping with?" he wondered.
Poverty alleviation has fallen on the capitalists.
Luke considered whether to observe for the time being or to take immediate action.
Quill knew he was about to start pacing back and forth again.
Hula~
The demon spread its wings, and the next second Luke's toes left the ground and began to move parallel to the room like a ghost.
"Together?" he asked.
This is his latest innovative way of walking.
"..." The quill refused to move in a parallel shape across the room.
During the third hour of floating, Luke had not yet made a decision, so he simply prepared something else to relax.
"Have you finished filming the revenge part? If you have, I will do the movie promotion first."
Quill: "Reporter please?"
Luke shook his head: "I want to make a trailer this time."
He landed in front of the quill and said, "Cut in all the essence, and stop at the climax to whet the audience's appetite."
Then mix in some special descriptions, such as the exclusive first-release trailer, the most exciting action scenes in history, a sneak peek at the grand war, etc.
In the opera era, everyone was used to plot summaries and had never been formally exposed to trailers, so this would definitely be enough of a gimmick.
The feather pen was used for a while, and I quickly figured out the concept of the trailer: "It's to make a gorgeous break in the movie..."
The mouth is covered by the tip of the wing.
Luke looked over threateningly: "Don't frame me."
The cool air sprayed on the feathers as the quill opened its mouth. Luke's feather shaft trembled slightly. For the first time, he realized that wings were a sensitive area and quickly retracted it.
The corners of Quill's mouth curled up, he lifted his eyelids and said, "You didn't do this when The True and False Young Master was released."
Luke didn't even think about it: "Because I'm afraid of being beaten to death."
Is that something that can be cut? !

Excerpt from Luke's diary:
The enemy troops are so disorganized and have no idea how hard work can bring wealth.
Hurry, keep up with my progress, and attack with all your forces!
Villain: ...
Alex: Passing by, taking root, and continuing the spark.
One hundred small red envelopes will be dropped randomly~
