Returning from the guard room, Joshua returned to his messy room.
After finishing the work, Qiao Xiu walked to the fairly neatly placed bookshelf in the room and took out a book called "General History of the World".
Written by humans, this book chronicles the development of human civilization in another world, and the demon prince seems to be interested in human civilization as well.
To Joshua's surprise, the book was written in English...
Joshua looked sideways at a mirror placed on the table. The Chaos Demon in the mirror looked almost exactly the same as he looked on Earth.
This reminds Joshua of the theory of parallel worlds, maybe this demon prince is himself in another world... After all, he even has the same name as himself.
However, this "General History of the World" was written in English, which helped Qiao Xiu a lot. Qiao Xiu wanted to know how far the human civilization in the other world had developed and what the political environment was like.
If it was an ancient feudal centralized monarchy, it would probably be meaningless for Qiao Xiu to show the movie to commoners who didn't even recognize the big characters.
"The Council of Seven? Praise the brilliance of magic shining on the whole of Nolan?"
Qiao Xiu breathed a sigh of relief as he read the modern history recorded in the book.
Human civilization in another world is more democratic than Joshua imagined. Although it is not a modern democratic republic, it is also a system similar to a parliamentary republic.
In short, the human society in this world has also achieved "equality for all". This equality is not achieved by institutions and revolutions, but is determined by this world full of magic itself.
The magic elements in the human world are amazingly abundant. Basically, even the farmers at the bottom of the society can rub fireballs. The real world is a world where everyone is a magician.
Therefore, the status of human society is also determined by "knowledge determines everything". The more magic knowledge you have, the higher the social status you can have. In this social system of the big environment, there are really not many illiterate people.
But this situation is also the situation of several major countries in the human world. This world also has many countries with centralized monarchy and monarchical authority.
Just like the earth, the world is vast, and the number of countries cannot be counted in single digits.
The closest country to the Demon Realm is Nolan, one of the most prosperous countries in the development of magical civilization.
Qiao Xiu decided that the first stop of the movie should be set in this country full of magicians.
The rest is to choose the script. Qiao Xiu shoulders the important task of making humans stop hating demons and changing the human view of demons as evil existences. To achieve this, Qiao Xiu thinks it is not too difficult, and directly let human beings worship demons. That's it.
Worship here doesn't mean performing some evil ritual to summon demons and become followers of the evil gods, Joshua is referring to... making demons idols.
In order to save the already endangered race, the demons decided to stand up and become idols!
That's probably how it feels...
In order to create a good demon image, Joshua currently thinks of two feasible scripts, the first is "Beauty and the Beast", and the second is "This Killer Is Not Too Cold".
"Beauty and the Beast" Joshua feels that there is no need for too much narration. This story is definitely a household name. Some people may think it is childish, but the reason for childishness is that almost everyone has heard this story when they were children. , which once again proves that the spread of this beautiful fairy tale in human civilization is absolutely no less than the stories written by the two masters of fairy tales, Hans Christian Andersen and the Brothers Grimm.
"This Killer Isn't Too Cold" is one of Joshua's favorite movies. The story is about a professional killer and a little girl, an uncle and Loli, a topic that will never change in human history. This movie makes the heroine Natalie Portman and the hero Jean Reno become the goddess and goddess of Joshua's childhood without any suspense.
What these two scripts have in common is that they can make the audience fall in love with the "beasts" and "killers". As long as these two images are replaced by demons and then slightly adapted, there is no sense of disobedience at all.
The actor Joshua, who is not too cold for the killer, has no clue yet, but Joshua, the actor of Beauty and the Beast, already has a candidate.
So it may be a little regrettable that this "This Killer is Not Too Cold", which almost defined Qiao Xiu's early aesthetics, needed to be delayed for a while before filming. Qiao Xiu decided to shoot "Beauty and the Beast" first.
"Servant, go and call Zenas."
Qiao Xiu said to the water element servant who had been standing at the door.
This water element has no thoughts of its own, and acts as a messenger, a bit like a pigeon. After she bowed slightly to Qiao Xiu, she went to perform the task.
Joshua also started writing the script.
Since coming to this world, Qiao Xiu found that his memory became terribly clear. Whether it was the memory of the earth or the memory of the demon prince, they were all stored in Qiao Xiu's mind, waiting for Qiao Xiu to "call out" at any time.
Joshua even clearly remembered the pattern on the back of a seven-star ladybug he caught when he was ten years old.
The story of "Beauty and the Beast" Joshua has read the original English version, followed by the animated version created by Disney, which is also the most widely circulated version, so Joshua remembers all the details of the story clearly.
Just write the rough details according to the general framework.
Qiao Xiu took a stack of white paper. These papers were originally used by the demon prince to draw some strange designs, and the writing pen was also the charcoal pen that Qiao Xiu was most familiar with.
Joshua wrote the title of the script "Beauty and the Devil" on the first piece of white paper, and the floor of Joshua's room began to tremble slightly.
"Your Highness, do you have anything to do with me?"
Zenas came much faster than Qiao Xiu expected. He stood at the door of Qiao Xiu's room and did not step into it. There were a lot of messy papers scattered on the floor of Qiao Xiu's room, and Zenas was wrapped around him. The flames are likely to ignite it.
"How is your acting, Zenas?"
Joshua looked at the evil karma and asked.
"Acting skills?" Zenas seemed unable to understand the word Joshua.
"Simply put, are you going to deceive those humans?"
Joshua switched to a method that the demon could understand.
"Of course, Your Highness... This is a required course for every demon. Although I am far inferior to the two races of succubus and ghost, I can still deceive some stupid and ignorant humans."
Zenas doesn't look as powerful on the inside as he does on the outside.
Fraud is a must for every demon? In other words, every demon is an actor, right? Treat deceit as a racial gift, and you'd be underserved not to be politicians.
"Okay, just stand there and don't move."
Joshua gestured for Zenas' approximate body proportions and began to draw a concept map on the script.
As a family of sinful demons, Zenas' head is easily reminiscent of the Lionmon among the Digimon. As long as he doesn't show such a fierce expression and doesn't spit fire from his mouth, he seems to be a pretty docile big cat. .
This premise is based on the fact that the terrifying scales on Zenas and the magma flowing in the gaps between the scales do not exist, and only the pale green flames entwined around Zenas, Joshua feels that no one wants to touch this one. big cat.
But this is not a problem. Qiao Xiu, who was originally a game designer, drew the concept map without any ambiguity. He immediately sketched a Zenas who was dressed in a delicate dress and had a mighty and ferocious appearance.
"Zenas, won't the clothes on your body burn?" When Qiao Xiu drew here, he suddenly realized that the clothes on the demon's body were a bit like primitive animal skins, which only covered the most important parts of the body. key location.
If you want Zenas to wear the dress drawn on the design, at least let him put away the flames on his body.
"No, Your Highness, I can control the temperature of the flames on my body," Zenas said.
This is really a convenient setting. You don't have to worry about burning the clothes, and Joshua can start designing the clothes. Another important thing is to find Belle, the heroine of "Beauty and the Devil".
Human women are unlikely. It is estimated that a slightly timid human woman will faint from fear when playing against Zenus, and a slightly more daring human female magician will probably throw Zenus in the face with a flaming explosion. superior.
It is necessary for Qiao Xiu to protect the personal safety of his actors when filming, so let's choose some female demons.
"Xenus has a mission for you."
Joshua took out another piece of paper and quickly wrote a notice, and then stamped a stamp representing his identity on the notice.
"Please order." Zenas bowed slightly and waited for Joshua's order.
"Go get me the prettiest girl in town."
Josh said.
