Him and their stars

Yu Lian soon understood that the "common characteristic" Mr. Qi mentioned was probably suffering. He had too many works in his early years that described this thing deeply.

"Those who live in distant lands have different happiness. But those who are poor and helpless have the same suffering. Is that right?"

Mr. Qi nodded slightly, but there was no complacency on his face.

"However, haven't you been writing best-selling novels in the past few years? Many of your old readers say that you have degenerated."

The gentleman showed a narrow smile, but shrugged: "That's true. However, the publishing house has conducted a survey and found that a large part of my readers of serious literature in the early years and the readers of popular literature in recent years overlap. This may be like what you said. Although they are suffering, they are not suffering enough. But isn’t this a good thing?”

"It's indeed a good thing. It's better than them actually being in heavy suffering. As many people think you've fallen, ten times as many people think you're becoming more and more friendly." Yu Lian smiled.

To be honest, Mr. Qi's prowess as a writer and various awards were indeed achieved through serious literature in his early years, but now these tens of billions of book fans all over the galaxy are really after middle age. , started writing best-selling novels.

For example, Emperor Elansel is a loyal fan of Mr. Qi, but his fan is not his masterpiece "Demon Star", but "The Legend of the Star Demon God" which he wrote after he was 40 years old. This heroic knight novel, which he wrote for nearly fifteen years, is a grand war epic with a total of more than 10 million words, spanning a hundred years and three generations. There are countless movies, TV shows, animations, games, fan creations and various peripherals derived from it, and the commercial value created can be calculated in trillions.

Theoretically, there is a big gap between serious literature and popular literature. However, there are always geniuses in this world who can bridge this gap.

When Mr. Qi, a man who has made a name for himself in serious literature, really decides to let go of himself and try to figure out how to play popular literature, then it is a dimensionality reduction attack!

As a result, Mr. Qi has become the biggest cultural icon in the entire galaxy in the past half century.

However, when it came to this, Mr. Qi did not have any pride or even a trace of joy: "But in fact, I know that this is just escaping. No matter how much I write or how many ugliness I criticize, The suffering that should have happened will still happen. People like me, who are hypocritical, soon understood that literature cannot actually save society. So, I started reading some popular novels, and even started writing fairy tales in the past few years. coming."

Yu Lian understood what the other party meant. If it is just exposure, criticism, and criticism, it will only be based on the personal "conscience" of the literati.

This is just like the Universe Kingdom next door to Yu Lian’s hometown in his previous life. It has made a lot of so-called “great movies” that “expose” the darkness of society. What’s the use? .

"But, I finally understand. In the past, I would only look for the commonality of this kind of suffering from the perspective of fate. Now, I should look for it from the perspective of society. Thank you, little guy, thank you for giving me inspiration.”

"I really didn't expect that the story I wrote casually to vent my emotions could make you feel so much. It's such a blessing!" Yu Lian made a ten with his hands.

"What are you thinking about? I'm not talking about "Green", but the "Investigation Report on the Labor Movement of Red Maple Factory". Oh, by the way, there is also the documentary "The Revival of Red Maple Factory". What touched me was also It’s not the words or the camera, it’s your actions.” Mr. Qi continued to move forward with his hands behind his back, walking as briskly as a boy under twenty years old.

Yu Lian also quickened his pace to follow, and then he saw the old man humming a light song, and then showed a wicked smile: "I have an idea..."Green" tells the story of being trapped in the empire. The current situation of thousands of alien races that are oppressed and enslaved. In the next part, why don’t we write a story about being a slave in the empire but not being able to?”

He thought for a while, then shook his head and said to himself: "No, a single perspective still cannot bear the grand narrative. How about writing a group portrait of two protagonists? One who wants to be a slave but cannot, and one who is willing to be a slave but is loyal and loyal. Story? What do you think?"

Yu Lian thought to himself, what a good guy, what a good guy, I just opened a window for him, and as a result, he immediately discovered a new world where he can let himself go.

"It's too late to rehearse the stage play." Yu Lianda said.

"What kind of stage play are you arranging? What can be displayed on the stage is only a small space. No matter how high-end it is, it is still high-end and low-key. I will write the novel and the script together, and then directly put it into the movie! Let's make a trilogy! And then release it across the galaxy!"

Seeing that Yu Lian's expression seemed a little stiff, Mr. Qi smiled again and said: "Don't worry, the boss of Koh-i-Noor Film Company is a good friend of mine. That guy and his team are all a group of guys who are worried about the world being in chaos. "

What could Yu Lian say? Now that the old gentleman is ready to let himself go, of course he is also happy to fly with him.

"After the script outline comes out, please be sure to let me read it first! If there is anything you need me to do, please feel free to ask." Yu Lian thought for a moment and then said: "...Moreover, if we make a movie , Feifei should be particularly interested. She is a staff member of the Military Propaganda Department, so she can still do something for the crew."

"Feifei?" The old man noticed Hua Dian immediately. After a slight pause, he understood something and said with a smile: "Okay, let's invite Miss Feifei to come to the crew to be the liaison between the crew. Let's Shooting war scenes still requires help from the military, but having her as a liaison can be of great help."

In fact, given Mr. Qi's current status, even if he just hints that he wants to make a movie, everyone from the military to the central government to major ministries and commissions will come over to cooperate. There is no need for Feifei, a young captain, to come. What help. To put it bluntly, this is just to give Yu Lian face.

"Okay, when this script is finished, my term as ambassador will be almost over. Then, I should do what I just said, looking for commonalities in suffering from a social and even philosophical perspective." Mr. Qi He smiled and said: "By then, I should have completed some monographs on social analysis. From now on, I will no longer be a litterateur, but a sociologist."

"Maybe you can create a new school of sociology. No, I think you can definitely do it." Yu Lian smiled.

Mr. Qi finally smiled. Although he knew that this guy was suspected of being a flatterer, he was really pleased to be flattered by Yu Lian.

"However, Xiaguan feels that the reason why social sciences have never been regarded as science is because most scholars in this field will only hide in ivory towers and practice. The occasional empirical evidence is either too shallow in analysis or has too few examples. Pitiful."

Even Hui's vaccine has done much more experiments than sociology.

"I think that sociologists from your school... no, sociologists from our school should pay the most attention. Shouldn't it be to find the truth through practice?"

Mr. Qi thought this was quite reasonable, but he still stopped laughing and stared at Yu Lian, waiting for the other party's follow-up.

"After the ambassador's term ends, why don't you just run for office?"

"Running for president? I, haha..." Mr. Qi showed an expression of obvious disgust.

"No, I think with your temper, if you stay in the central government of the earth for a few more months, you will be angry enough to be admitted to the ICU." Yu Lian said with a smile. In the environment of the central government of the earth, anyone with normal views will suffer from schizophrenia. It is better to leave it to be managed with heavy blows in the future.

"You won't let me go to Maple City to be the mayor, right? That would be quite interesting, I think..."

"No, that would be too humiliating." Yu Lian shook his head seriously.

Even if the production scale has expanded to the present, Maple City, including the workers and families of the Red Maple Factory and various citizens, has a population of less than one million, and it has always been under semi-military control. Director Luger and Davarishi Babaru are now doing almost the job of the mayor.

The entire city and factories are booming, and the public security is so good that the doors are not closed at night.

Babalu was even prepared to hand over the workers' picket team, which was already a paramilitary organization, to Shashak's command. He was going to take a half-pay layoff and go to college with his good friend Busca.

Busca's university has been chosen, and it is Sunchon Institute of Technology on Earth. When the time comes, Professor Zhuang Ran and the Red Star Institute can still take care of him.

As for Babalu, the smartest and most handsome Lumina junior from all over the country, he is even more ambitious and is actually planning to report to the Philosophy Department of Alliance Ocean University.

That large black beetle actually wanted to study philosophy. When Yu Lian thought about the style of painting, he felt like something was wrong. However, according to him, this is also to understand the development of the essence of the world.

Based on this insight alone, this worker leader who has not left much reputation in another world already has the potential to become a great man.

Sometimes Yu Lian even felt that he would be worthy of this time travel just by finding these gems that were submerged in the torrent of history and letting them shine with the brilliance they deserve.

According to Zhixia, Comrade Babalu now spends all his free time reviewing his studies in addition to his daytime work, and even often pesters himself and Mr. Summers from the Engineers Hall to make up lessons.

As the saying goes, God rewards hard work, I hope he can really pass the exam. By then, even if he couldn't get the scholarship, Yu Lian decided to cover his tuition and living expenses.

Yes, Mr. Trend's Engineers' Club has officially opened. Its business nature is equivalent to a consulting company responsible for industrial projects such as construction, machinery, chemicals, and metallurgy. It also occasionally "rents" top engineers to the outside world.

Now, there are more than thirty "engineers" resident in the Engineers Guild, all of whom are experts in various fields - Yu Lian suspects that most of these people are prosthetics.

Mr. Trend has left Rumina and left the guild hall in charge of his disciple Summers and granddaughter Nair.

As the production scale of the Red Maple Factory expands, the Engineers Guild's business is also booming. Even in New Seville next door, people often come to seek technical support.

All in all, Maple City, and even the entire Luna Galaxy, is in a good situation. This shows that even Babalu dares to temporarily leave his beloved hometown and factory.

In this way, everything was in a formal place. Even Zhixia felt bored and shouted to leave. It would be no problem for Mr. Qi to conduct a research investigation. But if you really want to stay and be the mayor, it will just be a rubber stamp, which is really unnecessary.

"Wait until your term ends, or how about trying to run for the chief executive of the New China's Sky District?"

Mr. Qi was slightly startled. He really hadn't thought about this.
