The corner of Xingqiu's mouth twitched: "Although it's a bit convoluted, or a bit strange, I understand what it means."
"Well, yes, just understand. I just want to say that being the leader of the martial arts alliance is not so easy. Otherwise, why would my family resign."
Gu Sanqiu also sat down: "Okay, let's continue the topic just now. If I remember correctly, it is related to the advertising screen?"
"Almost, forget it, that's almost enough. We are all friends. You can help me figure out how much time you can spare for my family."
Xingqiu waved his hand: "I earn more, and I will give you more when I bribe you."
"Xingqiu, Lao Gu should not be short of the little money you can bribe him with."
The corners of Chongyun's mouth twitched. What was this guy thinking about all day long? How could he talk about bribery so openly?
"Different."
Xingqiu suddenly became serious: "But this guy definitely lacks the excitement and pleasure of accepting bribes."
"Okay, he understands me very well. He is worthy of being a friend who did bad things together when we were young."
Gu Sanqiu picked up the drink and clinked glasses with Xingqiu.
...
Chongyun began to believe what Xingqiu said. Lao Gu might not be a good person in the conventional sense.
Think about what this guy looked like two nights ago.
Dressed in white armor, holding a spear engraved with mountains, birds, beasts, and clouds and dragons, the head of the Gu family fought against the evil spirit on the battlefield with the Qianyan Army and the legendary demon-conquering sage, or in other words, he pressed the evil spirit's head and beat him to death. .
After that, the thoughts of the people of Liyue Port were aroused, and they turned into pure prayer power to pray for the Great Sage of Conquering Demons and revive the immortal name.
Just based on these two points, it is not a problem for the living immortals to say a word about this guy. At most, some guys who are not very bright will secretly slander him.
But now, this guy actually toasted to his friends about his willingness to accept bribes, and Chongyun suddenly felt that the world had become strange.
Chongyun didn't know yet. If he knew that Gu Sanqiu not only aroused the public opinion of Liyue Port, but also the power of Qingce Village, he might feel that the world was even more strange.
Or, Chongyun might start to wonder if Gu Sanqiu had some strange schizophrenia.
"The use of the screen for advertising is probably going to be postponed for a while. After all, Brother Mandrill's work has not been completed before that, and the official side also needs to see the actual effect of the screen."
Gu Sanqiu refilled the drink: "A conservative estimate should take about half a month. At that time, I will be able to give you first-hand information. In this way, your family can prepare in advance."
"Are you ready in advance?"
Xingqiu frowned and thought: "You mean, this form of advertising may be different from the previous ones?"
"Nonsense, can the effect seen on the screen be the same as the effect written in words?"
Gu Sanqiu explained: "For example, I will give you a secret scripture now, and then give you a task to make the scripture spread all over the world. What method do you think can be used to succeed?"
Chongyun reminded from the side: "What, our line of cultivation still has a very strict definition of esoteric scriptures. At least it is the kind of scriptures that have code words hidden between the words and require knowledgeable people to translate them."
"You so-called practitioners are really troublesome."
"There is no way, everyone has to eat. After all, the things secretly taught by their respective sects cannot be learned casually. There are some methods to guard against gentlemen but not against villains, but guys with certain purposes will still have to Be classified as a villain."
Chongyun also shrugged: "The ability to settle down and make a living is just like the silk and satin business you are responsible for. You also know how to hide the secret recipe for silk making and the proportion of pigments."
Xingqiu held the drink cup and began to think, tapping the wall of the cup with his fingertips from time to time.
"Yes, I will find a knowledgeable person to come over and translate the entire text for me directly. Then I will specially train some existences similar to storytellers, and then I will be able to let them teach more people in the vernacular way."
Xingqiu was very interested: "Although there are basically no illiterate creatures in Liyue now, if you want to reach the level of understanding the secret scriptures, there must only be a small number of such people."
"If it were translated in its entirety, not only would it save costs, but it would also give teachers a wider range of choices."
Xingqiu continued: "If I am worried that the translator I hired has problems, I can also invite a few more to participate in the proofreading work, and set up a reward and punishment mechanism to avoid errors."
"Well, that's pretty much what it means."
Gu Sanqiu nodded: "This is the type of advertisement you put on the screen, which is more straightforward and easy to understand."
"For example, your family used to sell a long sword, and the advertising text it gave was 'Iron can be cut like clay, and hair can be broken by blowing', but people have to actually use it to know whether it is true or false."
"Through the advertisement on the screen, whether you want to chop iron blocks, wooden piles or even find a real person to fight, you can more intuitively see how powerful your weapons are, you know what I mean."
"Oh, I understand. What you mean is that we need to be responsible for the images displayed on the screen ourselves?"
"This is your job of making money, it's not whether you shoot or who shoots."
Gu Sanqiu said: "But after the filming is completed, it must be submitted to the official for review. This is also to avoid the appearance of some vulgar things or some dangerous remarks."
Xingqiu plausibly said: "How can those things be vulgar? It is a human exploration of their own desires!"
"You will definitely not think so when Keqing brings Qianyan Army to seize your property."
"Well, that's not possible."
Xingqiu smiled awkwardly: "If I use the convenience you gave me to do this kind of thing openly, my eldest brother will have to kill me with a sword."
"That's good, and, but, the advertisements placed on it need to be 'photographed', and the prop used to perform this operation is a photo camera, which is a thing passed from Fontaine."
"You should have it at home."
"No."
Xingqiu's face suddenly became flattering: "But it will happen soon, right Sanqiu."
"Get lost."
Gu Sanqiu's face was expressionless: "Strictly speaking, this thing still needs to be controlled at this stage, otherwise it will easily cause trouble. I'm afraid that when I give you one, you will make some big news for me."
"How is that possible? Although I am quite out-of-touch personally, I am also very talented in business. I will not do anything random."
Xingqiu explained: "When it comes to this aspect, I can't really include any dangerous official remarks in the advertisement, or what some ordinary people consider to be vulgar content."
"Returning to the common people, speaking as if you are not the common people."
Chongyun muttered.
"Eh?"
Xingqiu reacted: "Are you worried that I will do something strange with the video camera?"
He patted Gu Sanqiu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, this is completely different from what we described in words back then. If you really use a photo camera to do that kind of thing, you need real people, and that's illegal."
"..."
Gu Sanqiu glanced at Chongyun who was shocked and speechless, and then looked at Xingqiu whose face suddenly stiffened.
"Think of a way to die. I allow you to choose your favorite way to die."
"Except death of old age and death under peonies."
