Chapter 119
No bragging, no blackmail
"Oh, on the night after the investiture ceremony, a movie will be shown to the soldiers. It is about Lu Xiang and Governor Lu, as well as the deeds of those who were posthumously awarded the title."
"That's good. If the brothers understand Governor Lu's deeds, it can also inspire them."
Sun Chuanting nodded. Among the ministers present, among those who admired him, Lu Xiangsheng had to be mentioned.
When Lu Xiangsheng was appointed as the protector of the king, no one had any objections, except for the idle imperial censors and civil servants who complained.
However, since the last strike movement that did not break out, the cabinet and the six ministries have pulled many people away. Now, Chongzhen has really taken initial control of the capital court.
After the incident was over, Chen Ye and Wang Chengen rode back to the palace together. After saying something to Chongzhen, they opened the tunnel and returned to modern times.
…
In the blink of an eye, Chen Ye felt that the spacious hall in Chongzhen had turned into a living room full of electrical appliances, so fast that afterimages alternated.
After rushing to the company for lunch, Chen Ye started thinking about finding a screenwriter and director.
If you want to shoot a movie, you have to meet the requirements. For the time being, you can only shoot in modern times. In the Ming Dynasty, there was nothing except special effects.
To make a movie that attracts people, it takes more than just holding a camera, plus he doesn't have time to craft it carefully.
"Su Qing, come here."
Chen Ye took out his mobile phone and sent a voice message on WeChat, calling his horses and oxen over.
"Boss, you're still not getting off work at this late hour. Aren't you going to meet your clients?"
Look at other bosses, you can't see anyone in the company at five o'clock, can you think about your health?"
Su Qing was wearing an OL outfit, holding a notebook under her arm and pushed open the door. She was wearing such uneven clothes that even Chen Ye, who saw her often, couldn't help but take a second look.
The shirt of the small suit should be custom-made, with neat buttons and no special light leakage. It is conservative and more eye-catching because it stands out.
The hip-hugging short skirt is wrapped like a peach, and the two slender and straight long legs are tightly covered with black stockings, extending to the same black high-heeled shoes with red soles.
As soon as he entered the door, he complained to Chen Ye angrily.
"Be serious, I have a new job."
"Oh, wait a minute and I'll open the document."
After hearing Chen Ye's words, Su Qing directly pulled the stool next to Chen Ye and put the laptop on it.
"I want to make two promotional videos, mainly focusing on Emperor Chongzhen, Lu Xiangsheng, the battle between the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and the fight against Japanese pirates and other Ming Dynasty themes."
"Well, fighting against Japanese pirates is okay, but this battle between Ming and Qing Dynasties...Boss, are you sure we can film it and release it?"
Although Su Qing often watches palace fighting dramas, he knows the contents of these dramas very well and really wants to show them, unless he "doesn't brag or make scandal".
"It's okay. It's an overseas screening anyway. I told you the requirements. You can write them down and arrange for someone to start working on them as soon as possible.
Actors can be found anywhere in Shencheng. They mostly use special effects. Green screen or anything else will do. The definition doesn’t need to be too high. It’s all on a projector.
Lu Xiangsheng, I have a restoration picture here, and I must find it to be almost the same. The makeup can make it look real, but if it doesn’t work, I will use special effects.”
"Okay, the business department should complete it within a week."
"I only give you three days, and the script and plot will be designed within three days."
"How is it possible for three days? Do you think it's just fun to make a movie?"
Su Qing was shocked by Chen Ye. Unless there is a ready-made script, it may not be completed in three days, let alone three months.
"What I want to make is a historical film. It is completely historical. It is not a romance film. There is no need to change anything except adding some personal items."
"Then it's even harder. If you make up history and you can still talk nonsense, you have to do it exactly the same as history. We have to find experts from the history department, and we also have to design it."
"Fu Hua said that I would provide the prototype and let the special effects team do the special effects directly. I would also provide the food, scenery pictures, and background pictures. As long as the special effects team allows the actors to blend in."
"Okay, then I'll try my best. If most of them are special effects, well, just grab a few more programmers."
Su Qing wrote down the specific parts that Chen Ye was responsible for. If someone is to be found in this regard later, they will need to ask Chen Ye for help.
"That's fine.
The main plot of the first film is the life of Lu Xiangsheng, but the core theme is the integration of a Chongzhen sage who knows people, a civil servant who abandoned his writing and joined the army to protect his family and country.
Then there must be interspersed with Chongzhen's role in it. Just note the employer's request to clear Chongzhen's name.
The brutality of the slave-building must be highlighted. Chongzhen in the north was in charge of the capital and resisted the Manchu offensive in order to prevent the peace in the south from being broken.
It is best to show the content of the Manchus entering the country and the bloodshed of the Han people being killed."
"Rolling blood? Prominent gore? Are you so broke that you don't want to show it in China?"
When Su Qing remembered this, she raised her head and asked Chen Ye strangely, if it were really made to this standard, it would be like stacking bufff.
It's a brutal and bloody scene of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It's impossible to play it no matter what.
"I guess there won't be a big market abroad, but you have to follow my requirements. In this regard, you need to find some reliable planners and screenwriters.
Anyway, the plot is simple, and the main thing is that the details must be enough, and it must highlight the virtuous character of Chongzhen, the worry about the world, and the cruelty of the Qing Dynasty, which harmed the people.
Lu Xiangsheng was upright, abandoned his writing and joined the army, and died gloriously in battle. In the end, it would have been even more perfect if the Qing Dynasty did something to Lu Xiangsheng's body that was outraged by both humans and gods.
Don't pay tribute to the enemy. If the enemy kills a bunch of your people and you still pay tribute, isn't this what people without a stand do?
Anyway, just follow the special effects. I have already found an actor for Chongzhen, so his role will be free. If there is a scene with two people, just use a cut shot."
"Okay, I've written it all down, but what about the second part?"
"The second part is reflected in some anti-Qing heroes, counterinsurgency heroes, and anti-Japanese heroes in the Ming Dynasty. The theme is to make movie viewers feel that many heroes emerged to protect the people during the various chaos in the Ming Dynasty."
Su Qing's fingers moved quickly on the computer keyboard, and finally clicked a period.
"There are two plots in total, so I will take them to the sales department now and ask them to get the actors and special effects company together as soon as possible. Boss, you should also prepare the service as soon as possible."
"Okay, you can find more special effects companies. You don't have to worry about money. There are sponsors who will pay for it.
By the way, I’ve been working hard lately, so I’ll treat you to a late-night snack tonight.”
"You have a conscience."
Su Qing rolled her eyes at Chen Ye, saved the document, held the computer under her arm, and walked out of the office. Tata's high heels hit the ground, and the sound stopped when the door locked automatically.
Chen Ye chuckled and continued to open the mail. He hadn't sorted it out for a while, and there was another pile of junk mail.
In the Ming Dynasty, as time passed and under the promotion of Zheng Zhibao, penicillin finally showed results.
At the same time, Wu Youke, who was summoned to the capital by decree, finally arrived at the capital with two students.
After being escorted all the way to the outer city by the imperial guards, the outer city used radio to notify the palace that Wu Youke had arrived.
Since Chongzhen was still busy speaking to the radio, Wang Chengen conveyed the message on behalf of Chongzhen, asking Wu Youke to go to the post house first, and his Majesty summoned him soon.
This kind of treatment made Wu Youke secretly frightened, wondering if someone in the palace was suffering from an incurable disease, so he should be treated so grandly by a wandering doctor.
"Brother Wang, I wonder if any important figures in the capital have been infected with a nasty disease recently?"
"There are many important people who have contracted the disease. Sir, you don't need to pay too much attention to them. Your Majesty has summoned us and we have to go see them as soon as possible."
The Jin Yiwei who led them into the city said nonchalantly that as long as the emperor and the prince were not ill, it would be meaningless to them.
Together with Jin Yiwei, they rode the carriage all the way to the post house.
"It's unbelievable that the knife-wound patient who was so hot and unconscious a few days ago was actually saved alive."
"What's even more unbelievable is the people who treated Hualiu disease. Look at them, there are still those red spots on their bodies. This is the first time I've seen it. Hualiu disease was cured in three days."
"Speak as if you've seen it before."
The carriage drove very slowly on the crowded road. When passing by the Zheng family's house, Wu Youke stopped listening to the chatting among several street vendors. Out of a doctor's intuition, Wu Youke stopped.
"Brothers, may I ask what the magic method is for the two cases you just discussed?"
"Oh, this is a brother from out of town, so I have to give you a good talk."
"Go, go, let me tell you, brother, buy me a pancake and I'll tell you. He just came here yesterday. Those are all hearsay. Unlike me, I already know it from the beginning."
The two stall owners started arguing, and they stopped after Wu Youke's student handed over five coins.
"Let me tell you, this is a drug experiment conducted by General Zheng Zhibao and Zheng Zheng from the south, together with the Ming Dynasty Royal Company. It is said that this drug has miraculous effects on all kinds of fever caused by swords, as well as other infections.
"
"Is it hot due to a sword injury? Infection? I can understand the infection, but what is the feeling?"
"Hey, I don't know either. If I want to know, I will tell you. Listen to me and tell you how this experiment is done. I guarantee that you will also find it magical. There are many things that even the doctors in the city can't do anything about."
The cake vendor listened to Wu Youke's mumbling and quickly finished telling what he knew. In fact, he had heard a lot of it from others.
After Wu Youke listened carefully to the two vendors' complementary explanations, he became more confused.
He heard a lot of terms, skin test, fever, infection, these are all words used when using the so-called penicillin injection.
When Zheng Zhibao was promoting, many people had already visited the Royal Merchant Store and naturally knew the functions of penicillin and other drugs.
The more Wu Youke listened, the more excited he became, because penicillin was used for many treatments, and his symptoms were the same as those of plague infection.
"Anle, find someone to lead the way. Let's go to the Royal Merchant House and ask."
"Teacher, aren't we going to meet His Majesty? Just now, the little flag from Jinyiwei said that His Majesty has been notified. If we don't get to the post house as soon as possible, what will happen if His Majesty sends someone to summon us?"
"How can your Majesty have so much time to summon me right away? Are you right, Brother Wang?"
Wu Youke asked the Jin Yiwei who led them to the post house.
Chapter completed!
