Chapter 74: Filming, We Are Professionals!
Thousands of people stood outside the territory.
From afar, it looked like a long dragon with ‘blue skin’.
The team had already started to take shape and had great combat strength.
Amongst them were three Class 4 Jobs and two warriors.
They were the Class 4 Wind Wolf Rider, Tru, and the Class 4 Elemental Ranger, Adelia.
The remaining person was also the team’s only nanny.
Class 4 Light Priest—Gran.
Below Class 4.
The Class 3 Wolf Cavalry consisted of Luo Feng, Su Yu, and Xu Que as their leaders, with a total of 17 people.
Class 3 Wind Wolf Cavalry totaled 50 men, while there were 16 Class 3 Iron-Blooded Horse Riders.
A total of 83 people.
There were 155 Class 2 Soldiers who were also riding Iron-Blooded Horses.
The remaining 29 horses were left in his territory.
Just in case.
As for the 2,000 plus Class 1 soldiers and rangers…
Lin Ye ranked them according to their physical fitness stated in the archives.
For the top one thousand people.
There were given Ferghana Horses or ordinary horses, equipped with mounts and weapons according to their strength.
The soldiers who didn’t make it would all become foot soldiers.
It wasn’t that Lin Ye was prejudiced, looking down on these weak individuals. It was that he simply didn’t have enough resources, or else he would have turned them all into cavalry soldiers.
It would be best if they were all Class 3 wolves as well.
In the early stages, if blueprints of higher class soldiers didn’t drop, it would be a disaster of catastrophic level.
When that happened, nothing could flourish.
Of course, that was something that he could only keep in mind and continue to face reality.
When Lin Ye stood on the platform of the field, this platform was actually the huge corpse pit that they had dug previously. After obtaining Heart’s Web, he felt that it was too close to the bunker.
The stench was overwhelming, so he filled the pit up and moved the Level 3 Zombie Converter elsewhere.
This place was then left empty. When Tru challenged the new recruits, it turned into a sort of training field.
Standing on the platform, looking at the 1,000-man team that was all equipped with Class 2 Blue Tier equipment, Lin Ye felt a boundless sense of heroism.
With such a fine and elite army, who could fight against him!
“Hey, wait. My lord, this is a wonderful scene. Yes, lift your chin and keep your eyes on the sky at a 45-degree angle. Keep your gaze focused. With the attitude of the lord looking down on the world, smile a little. That will make you look approachable. After all, we’re shooting a video and it needs to be popular…”
“Sister Bao’er, Little Meng, go and help the lord tidy up his appearance. The lord is not good at smiling so he may seem a little cold. Help the lord with his smile…”
At this moment, Dong Wei was squatting in the corner of the school field with his Civilization Archive. He instructed Lin Ye so that he could create the best video.
Jiang Gong, Liu Yuan, and Wang Qiang, who knew how to operate the excavator, were assisting from the side.
Zhang Bao’er and Chu Meng suppressed their laughter. When they heard Dong Wei’s words, they quickly ran to Lin Ye’s side and helped him tidy up his appearance.
She even pointed at his face from time to time, teaching him how to smile more naturally.
At this moment, Lin Ye was like a robot, allowing them to have their way with him.
If this was any other time, they would have been beaten to a pulp.
As to why it was currently so harmonious.
It was because before they gathered, they had given their loyalty to Lin Ye under the coercion of Zhang Liang and Xun Mingyuan.
Now that they were family, there was naturally no estrangement between them.
“Ah Wei, are you sure you can do it?”
Lin Ye frowned and said unhappily, “We can just shoot a few scenes. This is not a movie or television drama. It’s just a short video. The main part is the killing of zombies and the clearing of a Haunted House. We just have to show a spectacular sight. While the protection mechanism is still in place, we can scam some likes. Rather than wasting time here, we might as well leave early.”
“That’s different.”
Dong Wei shook his head like a rattle drum. He looked at Lin Ye seriously and continued, “My lord, we are professionals in filming. Let me tell you. Even the simplest short videos have their own rigorous criteria to meet.”
“There are those green-eyed people in the Regional Channel.”
“Hmph, don’t be fooled by their praises. If he really uploaded a video of him killing zombies and blowing up a Haunted House, they might turn their opinions on us.”
“When the time comes, without even mentioning a million likes, it will be difficult to even guarantee a positive number of likes.”
“Therefore, we have to shoot with our hearts. That way, we can appear sincere. It’s best if we can make it look like a big production.”
“Remember this. Ignite. Ignite those flames. That is the core!”
He swept his gaze across his surroundings and said regretfully, “There are enough people, but this background won’t do. If there are more than ten flags, bonfires, background music, and a few deafening war drums on the platform, this scene will be more spectacular.”
“Troublesome,” Lin Ye muttered, but his actions were quick.
He directly threw out a large number of things from the Reputation Shop.
Previously, regardless of whether it was useful or not, he had bought many Chinese products.
Among them were flags, war drums, old-fashioned cassette player, and so on that Dong Wei mentioned.
“That’s all I have now. I can’t afford anything else.”
“Wow, the lord is impressive.”
Dong Wei’s eyes lit up. He was just shooting his mouth off and saying those for fun.
Who would have thought that his lord was so resourceful and could source such strange and old items in this godforsaken place?
These should be from the Reputation Shop!
Yesterday, Sister Bao’er and the rest seemed to have obtained sanitary pads from the lord.
He didn’t know if there were any video playing devices like an iPad.
When it came to that, he would organize some good movies and enjoy the movie with a few others at the graveyard…
That scene was great just thinking about it!
He was thinking happily but when he turned around, he was kicked by Lin Ye.
“Hurry up and get to work. If you’re done, go blow up the Haunted House. We still have to fight for the Four Sacred Halls at midnight. We don’t have time to waste here,” Lin Ye said unhappily.
“Immediately, immediately. My lord, please don’t worry. Wang Qiang and I are known as the Crouching Dragon and Phoenixes of the Men. We are extremely reliable and will definitely not make any mistakes.”
Dong Wei patted his chest and assured.
After saying that, he threw the war drum to Wang Qiang and got him to find a few strong new recruits.
He found good spots on the platform and prepared to play the drums.
He threw the large flag to Zhang Bao’er and instructed, “Sister Bao’er, your handwriting is beautiful. Make the ‘Lin Clan’ sign look better. Don’t use a gel pen since the font will be too small. Use a large carbonized pen made with a firestick.”
“If it’s not clear enough, pour the ink out from the gel pen and dip the firestick in it to write. It’s best if it looks a little rough so that it will look imposing.”
“Okay, I’ll try my best.” Zhang Bao’er held the flag and tried to think of a solution.
The next problem was the background music. There was actually no other choice.
There were only a few old songs given complementary in the cassette player.
For example, ‘Romance in the Rain’, ‘The Two Tigers’, ‘Sad Pacific Ocean’, ‘Patriotism to the Country’, ‘Borrowing another 500 years from the Heavens’…
“Patriotism to the Country,” Lin Ye said.
This song was one of his father’s favorite songs, and it was the only song he could remember.
His father would probably be able to see the video after they posted it so he hoped that it would give him the strength to continue fighting.
“Sure, this song is inspiring and very suitable.”
Dong Wei nodded in agreement with Lin Ye’s choice.
“Alright, everyone, move. Props team or whoever that is, light up the bonfire! Light up the colored lights. We have everything now. Stand straight!”
“Work!”
