After he knew that Cesare's work would participate in the "Centennial Filmmaker" campaign, he decided that the first movie he wanted to watch was "Salvation of the Divine". He had already booked a seat online before the event officially started, and successfully found the address of Hall 16 ten minutes later.
Outside Hall 16, the name of "God's Redemption" was already displayed on the electronic screen. After he verified his identity and entered, there were only five minutes left before the movie officially started.
"God's Redemption" has been promoted a lot recently, and the male lead is Donald. These two factors alone have attracted many members to book movie tickets.
In addition, the film company later released a brilliant trailer, which created enough momentum for the film before it was even released.
The studio can accommodate a hundred people, and 80% of the seats are now occupied. With the arrival of Shu Payen, more people came in one after another. It seems that the premiere of "God's Redemption" in the Sacred Auditorium is very likely to be a full house.
Shu Pain was quite nervous about the completion of "God's Redemption". The trailer released by the film company was so exciting. The more people paid attention to it, the more Shu Pain worried he was that the final effect of the film might be due to the short film.
Although he knew that Cesare must have confidence in himself since he dared to bring his work to such a program, Shu Pain was still not sure before seeing the film.
During the short broadcast time of several minutes, he looked at his watch seven or eight times. At this moment, most people in the theater should have felt the same urgency as him.
Jiang Se and Donald entered the theater one minute before the film started, when the lights had already been turned off. After entering, they sat in the two seats outside the last row.
After the filming of this work, neither of them had seen it, so they decided to watch the movie they shot first, and then decide to watch other people's works. As time counted down, it was finally time for the film to be officially broadcast.
Cesare's opening is grand and majestic, with the endless snow scene and the gray sky seamlessly connected, and there is almost no end in sight.
The whistling sound of the wind has already directly impressed the audience’s mind with the freezing weather and harsh environment from the very beginning.
When the wind blows across the ground, it stirs up snow foam, and the elongated lens presents this vast snow scene to every viewer.
In the snow, a black dot stood out exceptionally, staggering towards this side.
Only when he got closer did he see that she was a tall and well-built woman, with her golden curly hair sticking to her red, frozen face in a very awkward manner. Her leather armor bore traces of battle, with many spots stained with black and red marks.
As she walked, bright red blood flowed out of the leather armor from time to time and dripped down the leather armor, but in the cold climate, the blood did not drip down and solidified into icicles.
But what was inconsistent with her desolate appearance was the determination shown in her pair of blue eyes. Veins on her forehead were bulging with every step she took, and the hot air she exhaled was like the last breath in her chest. Some audience members were already worried that she would fall in the snow next, but she was able to stand firm every time until she fell at the door of a church.
The church is already very dilapidated. From the desolate gate, it can be seen that there are not many believers here. Combined with the vast snowfield before, it is easy to think that this may be a dilapidated church in a small town on the edge of the country.
"Are you awake?"
As soon as the female warrior moved her fingers, a gentle male voice sounded in her ears. She subconsciously reached out to touch her sword, opened her eyes vigilantly, but found that she was no longer in the snow.
She was lying in a simple room with a fire burning in the fireplace next to her, making the whole room very warm.
A man in a black priest robe sat by the fire and smiled at her. The emblem of the Church on his chest made the girl relax her guard immediately, and she lay down again with her half-raised body.
"I found you at the church door."
His expression was somewhat embarrassed as he spoke. The miserable and neglected life made this elderly man look a little timid.
Suffering and poverty were engraved on his hunched back. The priest's robe he wore had been worn for many years and was very old after being washed. Facing the girl's scrutiny, he looked a little shy:
"My name is Andre, and I'm the pastor of this town."
When he rescued Shireen, he had already seen the unique emblem of the Vatican Knights on her. She was a female knight of the Vatican, named Shireen, serving His Holiness the Pope.
I just don't know why a female knight would come to such a remote place.
As they got along, the two gradually became familiar with each other. Andre learned from Shireen about the prosperity and wealth of many Vatican priests in Rome, and he felt envious.
Shireen has a fiery temper and is extremely loyal to the Holy See. Because she was saved by Andre and they are also companions in the Holy See, her trust in Andre is increasing day by day. While recuperating, she would casually mention some of the lives of wealthy bishops to Andre. She did not notice that Andre's eyes were gradually changing.
There was no bishop in the Vatican who trusted him and was willing to promote him, so when he was assigned, he was sent to this remote town, far away from the center of the Vatican.
If it weren't for this accident, he might have spent his entire life as a servant of God and a member of the Holy See without even knowing what the Roman Curia was like.
Shireen's words ignited the fire in Andre's heart. He also longed to be valued, to have supreme power, to be respected by the people, and to have the service of knights and maids.
But the reality of life is that he has to stay in this small town, day after day, receiving offerings from nearby believers, taking in very little food and living a hard life.
He was dissatisfied with the class system of the Church and began to doubt the existence of God.
If gods really exist, why am I so devout to 'her' and pray sincerely every day, but never receive any blessing from gods
Shilin's injuries have almost healed, and she is ready to leave here and return to the Bishop's Court.
"My journey was delayed this time. If it weren't for the dying counterattack of those heretics, I would have returned to the arms of the goddess long ago." This girl who was cold and ruthless when talking about heretics, now had a warm and sincere admiration when talking about the goddess:
"You know what, Andre, goddesses really do exist."
She grabbed the food with one hand and stuffed it into her mouth:
"In the process of eradicating heresy, I got a spell that can summon a priest. Tell the god your wish, and you will get what you want!" (To be continued)
