Chapter 379 Emerald Princess and Seven Little Starfish
"First of all, it is a stage play script after all. The time and expression space are limited, so the character structure cannot be too complicated. If we plan to make a movie in the future, we can play something bigger." Yu Lian calmly picked it up from the table
A piece of document paper.
"You still want to make a movie? I know a lot about movies, and I have also written some scripts. But, the scripts that I spent a year and a half carefully preparing usually don't make much money, so I can just spend it on whatever I want.
In the past two or three weeks, the things that have been painted with ghost symbols to deal with people have always been a big hit. The audience likes to watch light-hearted things."
That’s why I say that a great writer like Mr. Qi, who is comfortable with both popular and serious subjects and has made brilliant achievements, is completely the protagonist template of Wenzhao flow. Just the title of a new work is enough to make big news in the universe.
It can definitely be called a treasure of the people of Earth, a colossus weapon in the propaganda world! Unfortunately, the big shots in the community don’t know how to use it.
"The audience likes to watch light things because they are suffering. The audience only likes to watch light things because they are not suffering enough," Yu Lian said.
Mr. Qi sighed softly and nodded.
"In addition, it is also possible that some people did not let them face the suffering. However, the days are long, and we can definitely do it bit by bit." Yu Lian pondered for a while, and then wrote a few words on the document paper.
"Don't tell me that you are composing on the spot. Can you write a poem in seven steps? In other words, are you not only a genius in fighting, but also have such a talent? That is really disrespectful." Mr. Qi
He smiled and then saw Yu Lian leaving the words "Princess Gumeia and the Seven Little Starfish" on the paper.
How could it be possible to write "The White-Haired Girl" and "Thunderstorm"! Even if they were written, they would still have to undergo major surgery! They are not in line with the characteristics of the times, but they will not impress people.
In addition, if you really want to strip the underbelly of capitalism, "The Great Gatsby" and "My Uncle Jules" will be easier to modify. However, this is the time to wait until the future to play with the alliance. Now,
Don’t we have to play with the empire first?
"...Princess Gumeia? You are really too spirited. I know you are planning to cause trouble for the Imperial devils, but by using your real name like this, do you really think that the Empire has no supervision? They are much stricter than the Alliance in this regard.
Come on." Mr. Qi advised earnestly. If the old man hadn't burst into laughter and felt that every fold was full of bad taste, Yu Lian might have believed it.
"That's why I used seven little starfish!"
"So why a starfish?"
Well, in the story with the background of the space war, isn't it natural to persecute the starfish? Although Yu Lian wanted to say this, he probably would be regarded as mentally retarded by the old man if he said it, so he explained: "I can't directly say that the Kuifei people
Well, of course I have to use starfish instead. Anyway, they look very similar, so you can understand it naturally."
"How do they look alike? They are also normal mammals, okay? You can't say they are starfish just because they prefer to be active in the sea!" Mr. Qi said helplessly.
The Quafi people do look somewhat similar to starfish. They are about one-third the size of humans. They have a chubby but very dexterous body. There is no neck separation between the triangular head and the torso. It looks like
It's like they have grown together.
Their limbs are very dexterous and can be used to walk upright and operate various tools freely on the ground. But in the sea, by absorbing a large amount of water, they turn into full starfish tentacles, pushing the body to swim freely in the sea.
This is a minority living within the empire, or in other words, it is just one of the rather inconspicuous components in the empire's long list of conquests.
Before being completely conquered by the Tirero people, this intelligent race living on the continental shelf and shallow seas had already created a quite prosperous civilization. They had complete writing, calendars and laws, systematic regulations and moral pursuits.
Moreover, five or six complete civilization circles have been formed on the mother planet, and are heading towards the final unification.
If we look at the degree of civilization, the Quafi people should be equivalent to the late medieval or early Renaissance era of the earth.
Sadly, even with such a level of civilization, in the eyes of the empire that had traveled across the galaxy at that time, they were still no different from primitive people. What's more, the early conquest history of the Tirero people was trampled by blood and fire.
The cities of the Quafi people were razed, scholars were massacred, and texts were buried. For the empire two thousand years ago, all they needed were slaves, servants, cannon fodder, and even biological batteries and canning materials.
Diversity of civilization, what is it? Can it generate electricity or can it eat?
When the empire entered the reign of the reborn Emperor Yiwenya and became relatively relaxed, the cultural heritage of the Kuifei people was almost cut off. They only knew that they were the lower-class ethnic group of the empire and lived numbly like slaves.
With.
"Our story, Princess Gumeia and the Seven Little Starfish, tells the story of the empire's reign, and it was not many years ago." Yu Liandao.
"There is no way around this Princess Gumeiya. Do you have any plans with the Gumeiya people recently? If your plan is to meet with the Gumeiya people in the Tianyu, it's best to cancel it. It's too sensitive. I guess,
Every Gumeiya person who enters the Heaven Realm has at least one group of secret police. In addition, it’s really not Princess Gumeia. If she doesn’t change her title, she will definitely not be able to get on the stage.”
"Well, let's call her Princess Emerald, or Princess Green Star for short."
"You..." Mr. Qi glared at Yu Lian, but he couldn't help but feel happy.
There are many green planets in the universe, but when it comes to "emerald" planets, most people's first reaction must be the ancient Meiya planet in the Imperial Capital Sky Territory.
"Emeralds are emeralds. Anyway, there are a lot of emerald-like planets in the universe. If the empire is still not satisfied, I will go directly to the Cultural Administration Bureau to bet on their cowardly boss!" Mr. Qi sneered.
What can Yu Lian say? He can only say that the great writer is powerful. After giving a thumbs up to Mr. Qi, he continued: "In general, this is a true story that happened a hundred years ago. Of course, we can proceed
Processing little by little.”
We all know that Tianyu is not just the hometown of the Tiruiro people. In fact, the Tiruiro people who were born on the blue planet and the ancient Meiya people who were born on the green planet are in electromagnetic communication.
time to realize that they are not alone in the universe.
Then, when they first stepped out of the universe, they faced cruel challenges from competitors.
Both parties obviously live under the same sun, but neither of them seems to want to consider the issue of working together for mutual prosperity and symbiosis, which would make the sky dark and the earth dark.
In short, after nearly half a century of war, the empire finally achieved a comprehensive victory. Of course, through this war, the Tiruiro people did forge a martial-arts folk custom and a proactive national system. In a certain sense
In fact, the ancient Meiya people can really be regarded as the "benefactors" who helped the empire forge its national soul.
Therefore, in order to repay the favor, the empire drove all the remaining ancient Meiya people out of the green planet and moved to the borders of the empire.
Then, as the territory of the empire expanded, the former borders turned into the hinterland, and the ancient Meiya people had to migrate to all directions of the universe again and again. Their ethnic groups became more and more dispersed, their communities became smaller and smaller, and of course their power became smaller and smaller.
Weak.
In the process of this great migration, a young girl whose ancestors were said to be ancient Meiya, ah no, the princess of the Emerald Star, ended up on the ocean planet due to some accidents during the migration.
She was poor and sick, and when she was about to die, she collapsed in a corner of the city's harbor and was about to die, but was saved by a group of little starfish.
These little starfish are not brothers, but a pair of parents with five young children. They live a difficult but hard life. Although they feel exhausted just by living, after all, the whole family is working hard together.
This is the happiest thing.
Then, on the local Emperor's Day, that is, the day when the empire came to this planet, the Starfish family finally had a rare meal of crabs, shrimps, shellfish and fish. They are obviously marine creatures.
, but this is the only time throughout the year that you can eat these, and you usually live mainly on algae.
After the children fell asleep, the starfish parents took advantage of the darkness and went to the beach again, hoping to rush to the sea to pick up some seafood for the children. They are obviously marine creatures, but it is only this day every year that they are allowed to go to the surrounding agricultural areas.
of beach.
However, the closer to the beach in the city, the more people there were. Starfish parents went to the remote reef area and picked up a nest of swimming crabs. They also picked up the dying Emerald Princess.
"We gained a lot today. This is His Majesty's blessing!" Haixing's father said to Haixing's mother.
"Your Majesty will protect good people." Haixing's mother said to Haixing's father.
So, the two of them took Princess Green Star home and took good care of her.
"Wait a minute, aren't the Quafi people marine creatures? How can the ancient Meiya people return to their home?" Mr. Qi said.
"That was before. The imperial government felt that it was difficult to manage so many indigenous people living on the submarine continental shelf, so they forcibly drove them to the sea. They built shantytowns floating on the sea with steel and composite materials. Such houses are better than the
The undersea buildings built by the Filipinos using coral reefs are much stronger, which is a real sign of the emperor’s grace! Anyway, the Kuifi people are an amphibious race. They live on the sea and on the shore for a long time. At most, they are prone to weakness, illness, and shortened lifespans.
You can't die either." Yu Lian shrugged.
In this way, Princess Green Star became a member of the family of seven little starfish.
Of course, the shantytowns on the sea surface prepared by the Imperial Governor's Mansion for marine races cannot only consist of starfish, but also ethnic groups that have migrated from other planets, so multiple Green Star people are not too inconsistent.
Princess Green Star was very grateful to the little starfish for saving her life, and she quickly returned to work after recovering. The living space of this family has become increasingly narrow, but it seems to be moving in a better direction.
"If we work hard for a few more years, we can move to a city closer to the sea and buy a house that can be dived," Haixing's father said.
"Yes, the first floor of the house is sunk in the sea, where we live. The second floor is floating on the water, where the princess lives." Haixing's mother said.
Princess is the nickname given by the little starfish to Princess Green Star, which means that she is as beautiful as a princess. The reason why she is called "Princess Green Star" comes from this.
Starfish's parents wanted to buy a new house as soon as possible, so they worked an extra job to raise seahorses for the new lord. They were not ordinary seahorses, but an alien species that looked like a giant seahorse.
A ferocious beast came, and it was a phantom beast with psychic powers.
Because it is very dangerous, the salary is very high.
Because of the high salary, Haixing’s father and Haixing’s mother were treated to the lord’s seahorse as dessert on their tenth day of work.
"Don't worry, they won't be in any pain. This is the master's wish." The lord's retainer left the first month's salary of Haixing's parents to Little Haixing and Princess Green Star, and then hung the benefactor's
I walked away contentedly and contentedly.
"I am your mother too! I will take care of you." The princess said to the remaining five little starfish.
Then, she worked harder and harder and raised the little starfish as her own children.
Then, the little starfish gradually grew up, and when they saw the increasingly haggard face of Duoduo's mother, they rushed to communicate with each other. In order to prevent their mother from having such a hard time, the three brothers, the oldest starfish, decided to go out to find jobs.
Brother Haixing went to work in the watermelon plantation area of the Dome Farm. The boss gave him good treatment. At least he would have food, shelter and food, and he could also enjoy a particularly environmentally friendly pastoral life.
Of course, the Starfish people cannot actually bear the heavy work of staying in dry areas for a long time and being exposed to the sun. However, the boss said that he had "never seen a Starfish who worked hard to grow watermelons" and gave him 5% more salary.
, Brother Haixing started working here.
The second brother Haixing went to work in the private seaside estate of a noble man. His job was to breed and collect rare fish, corals, and natural black pearls that are a specialty of the local planet.
The pay here is better, and wages are paid according to performance. As long as you dive more than 500 times a month and work on the seabed at a depth of 300 to 400 meters for more than half an hour each time, you can have two full meals in the morning and evening.
.
Of course, to get extra wages, you need to do more. If you dive more than forty times a day, you will get a perfect attendance bonus at the end of the month. Workers who perform more than ten times a month will get extra bonuses, and occasionally you can get a supervisor.
The leftovers from the rewarded pearl clams will be used to cook for the family.
In addition, if tourists come to visit the manor, they will have to demonstrate underwater operations on site and complete some dangerous underwater performances. Although it is dangerous, if you do it well, you can get rewards from tourists. Although the manor will take 90% of the money away
, but they can still get some money.
The third brother Haixing is still far from adulthood, but he has been spotted by a large ship maintenance company. He is not the only underage Haixing working here. Because only their size can get into some narrow mechanical gaps.
Maintenance completed. Although the machinery is very dangerous once it rotates and can always pinch off the tentacles of small starfish, the wages are already 80% of those of adult starfish workers.
Although the work of the three brothers was very difficult, Haixing's family finally saw hope of survival.
Isn't it enough to have hope? In this world, as long as the whole family can live together, they have to do their best, and that is already a very happy thing.
However, bad news soon struck this unfortunate family again.
A full-scale war broke out between the Empire and the Alliance. This was the second galactic war recorded in history. The planet's economy, whose main industries were high-end agricultural products and luxury goods, was severely damaged, and the unemployment rate on the planet began to rise step by step. The nobles
The lords and businessmen would rather continue to hire cheap ocean natives than hire Tirello nationals.
In addition, the Alliance also produced a famous starfish general, who inflicted heavy losses on the empire on the front line. Although some people are calling out that the alliance's starfish and the empire's starfish are completely different species, they just look similar, but they are uneducated
How can ordinary people accept it?
As a result, on this planet that was supposed to be the home of starfish, an atmosphere of hatred towards starfish began to emerge.
One day, after finishing the day's planting, Brother Haixing was about to go home with the watermelon given by the farmer. However, he was stopped by the imperial police patrolling the road and wanted to arrest him for being a thief.
On this planet, watermelons grown in ecological farms are high-end agricultural products that cannot be afforded by ordinary starfish.
No matter how Brother Haixing explained to the other party, the other party did not believe it. One of the military policemen brutally knocked the boss to the ground with a stun gun. The boss, who had been working for a day, was already very weak at this time. The sudden electric shock caused visceral paralysis and respiratory failure.
The boss used his last strength to shout "Princess Mom" and then died.
Brother Haixing quickly asked for leave after hearing the bad news. The supervisor said that he would not be able to get the perfect attendance bonus if he went home now, but the former had no choice but to accept it.
However, as soon as they left the gate of the noble man's manor, they were stopped by a group of workers of other races. Brother Haixing recognized that these were already his colleagues, but they were laid off by the noble man due to the economic downturn.
"It's these starfish that cost us our jobs!"
"Everything would be fine without you starfish!"
The man who lost his mind grabbed Haixing, punched and kicked him, and poured acid on him. Brother Haixing died in pain.
What he didn't know was that his youngest brother had also died before that.
Because the war on the front line is becoming more and more intense, there are often various types of ships that need maintenance, and the workload is getting bigger and bigger. The third brother Haixing, who had been working hard for more than ten hours, felt groggy when he entered the belly of the ship for engine maintenance.
The child fell asleep. Ten minutes later, the engine started again and the child's body was completely vaporized.
After Princess Green Star learned that her three "sons" had all died violently, she went to a hairdressing shop owned by an imperial man in the town, untied her hairband, and let down her hair as if it were woven with moonlight.
.
"What beautiful hair!" cried the Imperial Barber.
"How much are you willing to pay?"
"An Imperial Golden Dragon."
"Cut it."
She bought her two youngest starfish sisters their favorite fish, shrimp and algae cakes, as well as new woolen clothes and dolls, and bought herself a small cup of hot chocolate.
"Princess Mom, what day is today?"
"Good days. We'll go to a better home."
"Then we have to wait for our brothers to come back?"
"They have already gone there to wait for us. After they have eaten and hugged each other, put on new clothes, we will set off together!"
"Great!"
The children fell asleep forever with their longing for a new life.
Princess Green Star lit the house on fire, letting the fire devour the home that had given her more than ten years of warmth, and slowly spread the fire to the entire surrounding shanty town. She rushed out of the flames and rushed towards the imperial soldiers who came after hearing the news.
them.
"This is the story of Princess Green Star and the seven little starfish. What do you think?" Yu Lian blinked and asked Mr. Qi.
