As a religious person, Auerbach actually understands the role of propaganda better.
Some time ago, Auerbach returned to the Holy See headquarters to report on his duties, so he missed the war between Lanfang and Japan.
By the time Auerbach came back, Lanfang had signed the Coconut City Contract with Japan and the dust had settled, so Auerbach had no sense of presence in Lanfang during this period.
Well, actually, Auerbach’s presence in Lanfang has not been very strong.
It is estimated that the Holy See has also noticed this problem, which is why Auerbach's previous report was issued.
According to usual practice, Auerbach, who has been in Lanfang for less than a year, has not yet reached the stage of summarizing his work, which will be at least three or four years later.
Auerbach, who returned to the Vatican to listen to the teachings of Benedict XV, was obviously enlightened. As soon as he returned to Lanfang, he moved his family to Penglai Island. Even though the church on Penglai Island had not yet been built, Auerbach refused to
Return to the fully equipped Coconut City Holy Light Cathedral.
Due to the visit of Benedict XV and the holding of Qin Zhiyuan's enthronement ceremony, the Holy Light Cathedral has become the first church in the Far East. Although the Guangming Cathedral under construction on Penglai Island is more magnificent, in terms of value, the Holy Light Cathedral has become the first church in the Far East.
The Cathedral of Light undoubtedly has more foundation.
Before this, Auerbach had always used the Holy Light Cathedral as his base camp. It was obvious that Auerbach now understood Lanfang's focus.
Lanfang's focus has never been the Prime Minister's Office in Yecheng, but the royal palace on Penglai Island.
In other words, the center of Lanfang is Qin Zhiyuan, and wherever Qin Zhiyuan is, that is the center of Lanfang.
After understanding this, Auerbach's work immediately became clear-cut.
spread doctrine
Go to hell, deepening the relationship with Qin Zhiyuan is the focus of Auerbach's work.
Especially after the release of Champagne Chalon, Auerbach keenly felt that film should be the best tool to reshape the image of Catholicism.
The carrier of this tool is Lanfang Royal Pictures.
Look, we still can't get around Qin Zhiyuan.
So Auerbach visited Qin Zhiyuan a lot these days.
Good day, Your Majesty. Auerbach bowed to say hello when he saw Qin Zhiyuan, his expression was respectful but not vulgar.
Good day, Ryder, long time no see. Let me do the math. It has been more than ten hours, right? Qin Zhiyuan was not very angry.
Your Majesty, please don't be offended. He is really busy with official duties. Leider Auerbach was serious and seemed not to have heard Qin Zhiyuan's teasing.
Ha, Ryder, you came just in time. Didn't you say you wanted to make a movie yesterday? Let me introduce it to you. This is Mr. Ren Shizhen, general manager and chief photography director of Lanfang Royal Pictures. It can fulfill your wish. Qin
The troubles from far away are diverted to the east.
After the introduction, Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt something was wrong, as if there was some possibility that he had not expected.
Sure enough, Ren Shizhen and Leder Auerbach, whom they had just met, had a very pleasant conversation.
I want to make a movie. The Holy See can bear all the expenses required, and we will pay the corresponding remuneration. All we need is a list of how much you need, whether it is Lan Fang Yuan, pounds or gold, we can do it.
Countless payments were made. Auerbach took care of everything, displaying the wealth of the Holy See at a glance.
What are your requests? Ren Shizhen remained unmoved.
Just kidding, no matter how much money a movie makes, it has nothing to do with Ren Shizhen. Ren Shizhen eats royal food.
The previous film industry was far from industrial scale. Movies were not a profit tool, and people were not even used to going to movie theaters.
But after the release of Champagne Salon, the situation seemed to have changed. Films were no longer dispensable, but gradually became important. It seemed that an emerging industry was taking shape.
Of course, for the final market feedback to affect people like Ren Shizhen and other behind-the-scenes workers, it will definitely take a process, maybe one or two years, maybe five or six years, no one can say.
My request is very simple. In the film, Catholic elements should be added, more Catholic elements, Catholic elements can be seen everywhere. I want people watching the movie to be able to see the Catholic cross as soon as they look up. Auerbach's idea is very good.
It cannot be said that Auerbach's ambitions are too great. According to the parlance of the 21st century, he is an investor and still has enough say. It is only a drizzle to insert some advertisements.
That would be easy. I could go and take pictures of churches and cemeteries, and I would be sure to see a cross when I looked up. Ren Shizhen's joke was a bit too much.
Well, this is not the era of market economy yet. As a director with decision-making power, Ren Shizhen has the right to decide what his movie will be like.
Ha, that’s a good idea. Auerbach didn’t seem to hear Ren Shizhen’s sarcasm. He was leaning a little on the chair, leaning on the armrest, leaning towards Ren Shizhen: I don’t know if you have heard of His Majesty’s angel.
Do you know how that nickname came about? I heard that you want to make a documentary about His Majesty, but His Majesty doesn't seem to be very cooperative. If you agree, our Holy See can be responsible for the production costs, and even future distribution costs.
Production costs and distribution costs are almost the entire cost of a movie. Not to mention production costs because most of the materials are already available and you won’t pay too much, but distribution costs are different and account for the vast majority of the cost.
Take Lanfang's release of Champagne Salon as an example. The promotion expenses are really not much, because the current film market is in an extremely hungry state, and Champagne Salon is the first sound film, and it is very beautifully produced, so there is no need to worry.
Promotion costs, but correspondingly, due to the use of patented film, which requires a large cost, the cost of making copies is an astronomical figure.
However, Lanfang spared no effort in promoting it and made thousands of copies. The cost can be imagined.
It is precisely because the cost is too high that without Qin Zhiyuan's consent, even if Ren Shizhen had the information and ideas, he would not be able to turn them into reality.
Now that the Holy See is footing the bill, it sounds good, well, it does sound good.
If, I mean if, some shots need to be reshot, can you also bear the cost? Ren Shizhen is interested.
Hey, hey, in my office, it's a bit rude for you to be so unobtrusive. Qin Zhiyuan expressed his dissatisfaction.
Well, Qin Zhiyuan finally understood what was wrong.
Ren Shizhen and Auerbach, one is talented, the other is rich, but both of them have enough enthusiasm, which is very troublesome. If they are asked to defend and shoot, Qin Zhiyuan feels that these two can create a
An 80-episode TV series.
Ah, haha, sorry, Your Majesty. Ren Shizhen said haha.
Uh-huh, I'm sorry Qin, I think if there's nothing else, the poor monk will leave first. Auerbach gave Ren Shizhen a look that you understand.
Living in Lanfang, Auerbach certainly had to learn Chinese. I don’t know what the mentality of Auerbach’s Chinese teacher was. He actually taught the Buddhist term “poor monk” to Auerbach, a standard Christian. This is really shocking.
It's both a joke and a joke.
Qin Zhiyuan resisted the urge to yell and let go, and pointed at Ren Shizhen and issued a death order: finish the two parts of Lance and Ferenta de Noir first, and then talk about other things.
No matter what it is, procrastination is definitely a panacea. Time can dilute everything. Maybe one time will make these two guys forget about it.
Your Majesty, Reims and Ferenta de Noir will complete it within a week. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, nothing will be missed. Ren Shizhen vowed to do so.
Hum, okay, as long as you can't make a mistake. Qin Zhiyuan smiled maliciously, and then turned his eyes to Auerbach: But you have to be prepared for bloodletting. I originally planned to shoot Cappi, but I didn't have it at that time.
If you want to film the information, you must prepare a film and television city to completely restore every plant and tree in the Kapi area. This is not something you can buy with only one or two million.
If we want to film the process of Qin Zhiyuan getting the nickname Angel, we have to recreate the scene in the Kapi area. At that time, Qin Zhiyuan had just joined the Foreign Legion. The Foreign Legion had not yet established a propaganda department and there was no relevant information at all. We wanted to recreate that process.
Not simple.
It doesn't matter, I'll pay 10 million dollars. Auerbach is indeed rich.
Ten million US dollars, if converted into Lan Fang Yuan, is about 40 million. Well, this investment is large enough. If it is used to shoot movies like Lance and Ferenta de Noir, 100 movies can be made. Even if
Taking into account the post-production publicity and distribution expenses, there will be no problem in making 20 films.
Okay, you have money, now you can go find relevant insiders to understand the situation. Qin Zhiyuan admits defeat.
Since there is no video data, the scene can only be reconstructed through oral narration by the person involved.
This is not easy, several years have passed, and those workers at that time are now either senior officials in Lanfang, senior technicians, or leaders of various factories. It is not easy to find them.
No, no, no, no need to bother looking, we have a very suitable candidate. Little Auerbach is very happy.
Qin Zhiyuan suddenly felt bad.
Before Qin Zhiyuan could react, Auerbach suddenly stood up and came to Misha's desk, who was working behind Qin Zhiyuan: Miss Misha, can you accept an interview from us? To express our gratitude, I will give you a gift from
How about the Lord's blessing of $100,000?
This is a blessing from the Lord
Well, Auerbach, a charlatan, has completely gone astray in his views.
In fact, Misha has been listening to the exchanges between these people. When it comes to understanding of that period, Misha really has a say. Moreover, if there can be a scene where Misha and Qin Zhiyuan met in the film,
