LOL: Summoner of Goddess Jana

Chapter 282 Magically Modified "Battle of Two Cities"

Compared with ten days ago, Augusta already had a deeper understanding of the leader.

And the more she learned, the more fearful she became of the leader.

And fear brought her endless confusion.

Against such an opponent with almost no flaws, will they really end well in the future?
"Well..." Madam Augesa rubbed her eyes with a headache.

She didn't dare to think deeply about it, and after thinking deeply, she couldn't think of any solution, which only increased her fear.

She tried her best to calm down and continued to write down the information.

"The Economy of Zaun"

"The State of Technology in Zaun"

"The Military Might of Zaun"

Augtha writes about what she saw and heard in Zaun

Compared with the "sage politics" of the leader that she fears the most, the leader's economic achievements, technological inventions, and military construction seem to be less important.

After all, the economic and technological levels of the Twin Cities are already sufficiently developed. It is normal for the leader to take over Piltover's business and have achievements in the economic and technological fields.

As for the military power of the leader, to be honest, regardless of the "nuclear weapon" of the goddess Janna, in the small pond of Shuangcheng, no matter how well the conventional military power is built, it is not enough for an old power like Demacia. of.

Therefore, when writing about economics, technology, and military affairs, Augsa's style of writing is always relatively relaxed.

What worries her is still behind:

"culture--"

"The threat of leaders in the cultural field makes people have to be vigilant."

Augusta directly used the word "threat" in the letter, expressing her concerns about the cultural achievements of leaders.

"Respected His Majesty King Jarvan, you may wonder, can the illusory art culture, novels, music and dramas that are only used for entertainment and entertainment, really have such a great lethality?"

"My answer is yes."

"Even, according to my observations these days, culture, and the ideas that accompany the viral spread of cultural works, are the most terrifying 'weapons' of leaders."

Writing here, Mrs. Augatha couldn't help but think of her reaction after watching the main theme musical "Zuan Slave Labor" with the members of the German Mission at the official invitation of the leader.

The plot of this musical is entirely based on the personal experience of the slave laborers in Zaun, and the emphasis on the plot is to restore reality.

It stands to reason that this kind of realistic story that reflects the suffering of the bottom should not have much appeal to a well-tested feudal fighter like Augsa.Even if you read it, you won't be touched too much.

But Naihe. The music in this musical is all the world-class famous songs that Levi borrowed from his "Earth Music Library".

The song is a famous song handed down from generation to generation, and it is the star singer Seraphine who sang for the song.

As a result, this musical at the time gave Augsa tears.

When Takeda Saito, who represented the old forces in the play, was wiped out by the leaders, some people in their diplomatic mission composed of Demacian nobles couldn't help but applaud and stand up.

"The role of cultural works in transforming and infiltrating people's thoughts can be seen from this." Recalling the involuntary touch in her heart at that time, Augesa became more and more frightened.

"And the most frightening thing is that the leaders are not only good at promoting their ideas through the main theme musical, this kind of serious cultural work."

"Our Chairman Levi is not only a talented composer, but also seems to be a brilliant writer of popular novels."

"He is very good at mixing serious themes and ideas into popular literary works that pursue entertainment, and using this to quietly output the leader's political correctness to readers."

"say"

For example, Zaun recently launched a comic, as well as a live-action movie based on the comic.

(Yes, Zaun has movies. Don’t ask, it’s Hextech)

The name of the movie is "The Battle of Two Cities".

The content of the story is a world where there is no leader, the story of Zaan's "future".

The script was written by Li Wei himself, and the actors came from the leaders and cadres who appeared in friendship.

Among them, Jinx plays Jinx, Vi plays Vi, Caitlin plays Caitlin, Silko plays Silko, Victor plays Victor, and Mel plays Mel.
"Parallel world, the future of Zuan, a plot derived from real people and real events."

"It's such a novel and interesting story, full of entertainment, I think even ten-year-olds who have no interest in serious political themes will be interested in watching it."

That's exactly what happened.

Compared with the main theme of the musical "Zuan Slaves", this commercialized "Battle of Two Cities" obviously has a wider audience.

Although this generation of Zaun people who have a personal experience of suffering actually prefer the realistic "Zuan slave labor".

But children, people from Pittsburgh, and outsiders are obviously more accepting of the more entertaining "Battle of Two Cities".

"While "The Battle of Two Cities" looks like a purely entertainment work that does not involve politics, but in fact, the ideology of the leader is quietly hidden in every detail of this story-it not only exists, but also everywhere."

This version of "The Battle of Two Cities" is actually slightly adapted by Li Wei, which is different from the original version in many ways.

The original said it was The Battle of Two Cities, but its real title was Arcane.The name is also more appropriate.

After all, Zaun and Piltover are industrial cities where workers account for the vast majority of the population, but there is no worker in the whole film. It is hard to call it "Battle of Two Cities", it can only be called "Jinx's Search for Relatives" Twin Cities".

And Jinx, as the adopted daughter of the two successive bosses of Zaan, is a real little princess of Zaan. Her personal experience is actually difficult to truly reflect the suffering of the bottom of Zaan.

Li Wei also understands this.

Because regardless of the leader's political correctness, for ordinary audiences who just want to have fun, the story of the prince and princess is more interesting than the story of the muddy legs.

Ordinary people are tired enough of their daily lives, and they just want to put themselves into the princes and princesses and have a good time.

If the protagonist of "Battle of Two Cities" is not Jinx, but a humble Zaun worker——

Then there is a 1% chance that this work will become a classic handed down from generation to generation, and the other 99% chance is that it will hit the street directly in the cultural market where entertainment is paramount.

But how can ordinary authors have the level to create classics handed down that truly reflect the suffering of the bottom and at the same time attract the vast majority of audiences?

Anyway, Li Wei doesn't have this ability.

He couldn't even write a work like "Iron Man", let alone "How the Steel Was Tempered".

What's more. These days, "How the Steel Was Tempered" has become less read by many people.

Therefore, in order to expand the audience, and to maximize strengths and avoid weaknesses, Li Wei did not change the main story line of "The Battle of Two Cities".

The protagonist is still a heroic character like Jinx.

He just mixed in more details in the story, so that the workers, slave labor, and trench orphans who truly represent the bottom of Zaun appeared inadvertently from the protagonist in the form of supporting roles.

This is enough.

It only takes a few scenes to make people feel the despair that old Zaun brings to people.

The output of ideology sometimes only needs a few scenes hidden in the joy.

There is no need to preach directly. After seeing what the situation in Old Zaun was like in the world without the leader, the audience will naturally be interested in learning about the theory of the leader and how Janna thought gave this land bring about change.

of course
In addition to adding these details, Li Wei made many modifications to the script for various complicated reasons.

For example, Mr. Jess raised strong objections to the script.

He felt that he was not such an official fan, so he had to ask Li Wei to delete the phrase "Please call me Congressman Tallis" before he would make a cameo appearance.

another example
Ms. Meier is now at least the third person in the leader, a high-level cadre with a reputation.

And Li Wei, as the president of the association, is of course not good at describing the love action scenes of his subordinates who get along day and night in his "created" literary works——

Otherwise, let alone Mel, the entire association probably thinks he is a pervert.

Therefore, in order to take care of the leader's cadre image, Li Wei made a lot of revisions to the script at the beginning of the adaptation, changing the all-night communication between Mel and Jess to an all-night conversation.

Mrs. Augatha naturally didn't know much about these behind-the-scenes details.

And she is not interested in paying attention to these.

She only saw: "A series of popular literary and artistic works represented by "The Battle of the Two Cities" launched by the leaders have already achieved success in Zaun, Piltover, and even more distant Noxus. Huge commercial success."

"They are using this silent method to export their ideology to the world."

"The audience of the leader's literary and artistic works will naturally become admirers of the leader's ideology. And admirers can easily accept the propaganda of Janna's thoughts by the leader's political workers out of admiration."

"And the leader's promotion of Janna's thoughts."

That's even scarier.

Augatha thought of her daughter, Lux.

This little girl was kidnapped by the leader for a long time, and when she came back, she became a little bastard who had forgotten her ancestors.It's not appropriate to leave a good nobleman, and you have to liberate some serfs.

I don't know what ecstasy soup that Seraphine gave her.

Is the leader's theory really so attractive?Why did she only feel disgust and fear after reading it?
"Ah..." Thinking of this, Augesa couldn't help stopping her pen in a state of distraught.

She has been in Zaun for ten days, and Lux ​​has been imprisoned for almost ten days.

After ten days, she has been working hard on her daughter's ideological work.The good things have been said, and the bad things have been said.

I don't know if this girl has reflected on it.

Augsa knew that she couldn't keep Lux locked up forever.

If Lux hasn't reflected on it, let her bring such a rebellious daughter who is both infected with demons and "stained with the wind" back to Demacia
She didn't even dare to think about what kind of trouble this silly girl could cause in the country, and how much embarrassment she would bring to the Mianwei family.

"lady!"

Augsa was worried, and a message from the maids happened to come from outside the door:

"Miss Lux asked me to tell you—"

"She said she had figured it out, and she wanted to have a good talk with you."
