Chapter 1578 Contact
After the film was finished, it was first screened on the boat. Everyone was shocked to see the black and white images on the screen. Even Dongfang Bubai, who had already seen the emperor's video, was shocked by the effect of the film.
This is a special effect, completely different from ordinary images.
And there is editing. Under the effect of montage, a series of pictures look like real miracles.
The film tells the story of the three main gods fighting against the monsters. There is no complicated plot. It is just that the great god Brahma leads his younger brothers to save the Indian people from the sound of water and fire.
The fierce fighting scenes are so real that people are excited and want to rush into the movie to fight side by side with the great god.
Brahma played by Dongfang Bubai is even more like a person in heaven, although Brahma is the male god in charge of creation in mythology. But now whoever makes a movie has the right to interpret. Duran believes that Brahma should be a cross-dresser, and there is no need to indicate gender. Anyway, Dongfang Bubai's appearance will convince people.
Dongfang Bubai wears a slim long skirt, standing in the wind with long hair fluttering, and his eyes looking into the distance are steady and deep. A close-up seems to suck people into it. Even if he saw these pictures himself, he felt his heart pounding, especially when he saw himself wearing women's clothes, he had an irresistible impulse in his heart.
Obviously, everyone often sees Dongfang Bubai, but the Dongfang Bubai in the movie is completely different from the reality.
This is the ability of the director. Without Duran, there would be no outstanding performances.
Seeing everyone's stunned expressions, Duran knew that it was done and could be broadcast to outsiders.
Singh is a local priest, but as a high caste, Singh's life is unfortunate because he has three daughters. For the family, the burden of three daughters is too heavy.
Hindu religious rules stipulate that a woman's family must prepare a high dowry when she gets married, and three daughters are three dowries. At the same time, as a woman, she must wear gold jewelry. If she doesn't have jewelry, she will be looked down upon.
Recently, silk is in high demand. Singh originally wanted to buy silk to make clothes for the village's sacred cow so that the sacred cow would bless him to give birth to a son, but he didn't expect that those outsiders only sold clothes and not cloth, which made Singh very desperate. He had to consider whether to marry his daughter to the sacred cow to reduce the burden.
Although he was of a high caste and had no worries about food and drink, Singh really had no spare money.
And he kept giving birth to daughters, which made Singh unable to raise his head in front of his colleagues.
Singh envied the monks and priests in the big city. The temples in the big city not only had enough income, but also had saints to play with, which was much better than this small village by the sea.
The so-called saints were young girls sold to the temples by the poor. It was self-evident what would happen to them.
However, Singh now saw an opportunity, that is, the Ming people from overseas. They not only had amazing ships, but also amazing exquisite items.
If these things were presented to the big temples, then he could also have a place in the big city. Singh never thought about doing business, because that was not what his caste should do. What he should do was to climb up.
So Singh came to the port built by the Ming people today with two Kshatriya followers.
After confirming that Duran was not a bad person, Dongfang Bubai immediately started work, cutting down trees to build a port, laying a solid foundation for subsequent trade. The flag of the Ming Dynasty has already flown over this land.
Singh was terrified by the huge changes in the coast in such a short period of time. He didn't understand why the people of the Ming Dynasty built so many things in such a short period of time. Did they have the help of gods?
No gods, only overtime.
The golden dragon flag in the air made Singh feel an amazing spirit, as if it was more powerful than the sacred bull.
It was the first time for the guard to see someone approaching. Although there were people who were curious and watched before, they didn't dare to approach the gate. These three people were the first ones who dared to approach so close.
The language problem has been almost solved, at least there is no problem with communication. You know, the movie is dubbed in Hindi, of course, this is only the Hindi in the local area, and there are many dialects in India.
When the movie is broadcast in other places in the future, it will need to be re-dubbed.
Dongfang Bubai welcomed Singh's visit. After knowing the other party's intention, Dongfang Bubai immediately thought of a way, which was to support Singh as an agent.
The agent was not an idea of Dongfang Bubai, but was thought of by Ming Dynasty merchants in Fusang. Using local people as a cover would make things go much more smoothly.
The Ming Dynasty had a very advanced learning system. As long as it was a good method, it could be provided to the government. The government would issue certain rewards and promote good methods.
The agent system was one of the excellent systems provided by the people in the early days.
Dongfang Bubai had considered agents before coming to India, but he did not know much about India so he did not take action. But now, Dongfang Bubai, who has a preliminary understanding of India, is finally going to take action.
In fact, Dongfang Bubai knew about Singh a long time ago, but he had never met him. He knew that Singh had a high status in the local area and was a high caste.
Having acted in movies, he knew that India had castes, which were mainly divided into four castes. Brahmans represent the mouth of God and are responsible for communicating with the gods, and are the most noble; Kshatriyas represent the arms of God and are responsible for management and military affairs; Vaishyas represent the legs of God and are mainly engaged in business; Shudras are generally craftsmen, servants and farmers.
Of course, there are people without castes, those who are called "untouchables", are untouchables, and engage in what Indians consider to be the "dirtiest" occupations, such as sweeping the floor, cleaning feces, and cremating corpses at funerals.
Obviously, they don't know what it means to have different divisions of labor in revolution, and work is not divided into noble and humble.
The caste system was invented by the Aryans to ensure their rule after they conquered India. At the beginning, Brahmins and Kshatriyas were Aryan nobles, Vaishyas were Aryan civilians, and Shudras were locals.
Of course, there are many branches among the four major castes, and different families support this huge system.
Although Singh is a high caste, he is a poor one among the high castes, and he is very useful.
And with Singh's assistance, it is easy to mobilize the masses so that everyone can see the movie.
Singh carefully made a request, but he didn't expect that the unpredictable handsome leader actually agreed, but as a condition, he needed to gather all the people in the village.
Singh was a little embarrassed. He didn't want to stay with low-caste people, but in order to break the heavy shackles of his family, he had to agree.
Of course, Singh would not invite untouchables. You must know that the caste people who walked on the road of untouchables cannot walk, and everything touched by untouchables must be thrown away.
The attitude towards untouchables is just like collective cold violence.
"As long as you do a good job, I will give you these." Dongfang Bubai pointed to the ceramic dishes for export and said.
Singh had never seen such clean things before, and immediately thought that only gods were qualified to use these dishes. When he heard that they were going to be given to him, he immediately made up his mind to do things well: "I will go and announce now, let everyone gather when the moon rises tomorrow night."
"Very good!" Dongfang Bubai was very satisfied with the other party's active cooperation attitude, thinking that this would be a good agent.
The rest was to play the movie. If it was Duran's plan, it would definitely go smoothly. In Dongfang Bubai's eyes, Duran was already an omnipotent man under the emperor's account.
Duran was also very confident, he was just afraid that he would scare the locals at that time.
