Chapter 2267: Why Don’t You Make Some Videos?
Mag conducted a philosophical discussion with Angela. From the birth of the succubi, to its development, to its lowly image in all the races’ impressions.
Due to Angela, Mag actually read up on many materials regarding the succubi and he had a clear understanding of the race now.
The succubus race had its glory once, but due to the cruelty of the racial war, the whole race was almost exterminated.
Even when the racial war had ended for 100 years, the total number of succubi on the Norland Continent now didn’t exceed 10,000.
More than half of them lived in Chaos City.
Only living in this relatively equal city could the succubi receive certain respect and not worry about being imprisoned by others.
The succubi had already lost their ambition and even consciously tried to forget their race.
The gathering of succubi would only attract greater discrimination or cause a bigger crisis. It wouldn’t change anything.
This was also the reason why Angela could only come up with a relatively beneficial organization that could barely control the pricing for the succubi.
To the succubi who were manual workers, this was something that could elevate their standard of living, so they had taken part in it actively.
…
However, as soon as Angela brought up the idea of changing their way of life to change their destiny and move forward… They would give her a perfunctory attitude.
It was easier to describe it as a racial inferiority mindset. After all, the succubi was once a race that was on par with elves and they were a very spiritual race.
“Obviously, they only have to change and then they can leave this slump and live respectfully. Why are they not willing to do so?” Angela said with a frown, expressing her devastation over her people’s degeneration.
“Have you thought that you have only told them how to do it, but you didn’t show them that they really could have a life that is completely different from their current life, one which is better and more respectful?” Mag shook his head and continued on after a pause.
“There must be some of them who have attempted to change in the past 100 years. Perhaps, they had bumped into a wall, or perhaps, it led them into a worse situation. Hence, they chose to give up and maintain the status quo. I believe you have a much deeper understanding about the prejudice that this world has on the succubi.”
Angela had a thoughtful look after hearing that. After a moment of silence, she looked up at Mag. “What should I do then?”
“Many people have told them how to turn over a new leaf. I bet every man has given them a speech after they do their deed. They would have been more precise and logical than you.
“Instead of telling them how, why don’t you show them how? Let them know what a succubus can do after she leaves those pink houses.
“If you can’t change the deep-set prejudice that this world has for the succubi, it will be very difficult for them to walk out of those pink houses and begin a normal life,” Mag said calmly.
“It sounds like you are very experienced.” Angela had a weird expression.
Mag solemnly said, “I have never visited that kind of place before.”
“I am now already a server and I have also talked to them personally, but they were still unmoved,” Angela said helplessly.
“People who are used to earning fast money, won’t want to earn a meager wage with their brawn.” Mag shook his head. “Moreover, apart from Mamy Restaurant, it’s very hard to find restaurants that would hire succubus service staff.”
“Then… tell me what else can I do?” Angela looked at Mag and asked.
“Why don’t you make some videos?”
“Huh?”
Mag looked at Angela, whose mouth was agape and whose face had a confused expression, and explained, “It’s not the kind of video that you are thinking of.”
“Then, what kind of videos can we do?” Angela asked.
“I have been thinking about a problem lately. How can I spread delicious food to a greater audience, change the diet structure of all the races on the Norland Continent and allow more people to get to eat scrumptious food?”
“How?”
“Well, other than writing a column in magazines, I intend to make a movie.”
“Movie? What is that?”
“A movie is a visual and audible artform. I intend to use the photostone to shoot a story and then use the technique of projecting an advertisement to show it. Of course, it will be free for all to watch.” Mag explained it simply.
Mag already had the idea of making a movie ever since he made the teaching videos. After all, an excellent media platform like the video would bring a greater experience to the audience than the words and picture books.
However, a simple teaching video was too boring. The audience would be limited no matter how good he was.
But, if he inserted a culinary tutorial into a great storyline perfectly, it would be spread to an even wider audience and he would naturally gain more fans.
“So, what should I do?” Angela was still befuddled.
“You have to become an actor, like those drama actors.” Mag gave her a simple example.
“I know drama.” Angela seemed to get it, but she soon shook her head, “But, I can’t act…”
“No. You have a gift. Just like that experienced lover scene earlier, you have already surpassed most young actresses,” Mag said with conviction.
“Who are the young actresses?”
“That’s not important.”
“Then, how shall I work with you?”
Climb on top of me and move by yourself. Mag rolled his eyes and said, “I’ll ask you to try it out after I finish writing the script.”
“Oh.” Angela nodded.
Although she had no idea what Mag was going to do, Angela had an unexplainable trust for him.
As if he would never fail in what he strived to do.
Perhaps… she would really become a good actor?
Angela left and Mag said next to the floor-to-ceiling window with a glass of water next to him. His eyes were glued to the projector screen where ‘A Chinese Ghost Story’ was playing.
He wasn’t a professional in making movies.
But, he had a rich movie collection from Earth.
‘Game of Thrones’, ‘The Lord of the Rings’, ‘Harry Potter’, ‘How to Train Your Dragon’…Oh, perhaps not ‘How to Train Your Dragon’. After all, it would be easy to trigger a racial war if he got the dwarves to go ride the dragons.
However, Mag’s first thought was not those fantasy blockbusters, but a relatively simple but interesting story.
Firstly, he had to be certain that the motive of him making a movie was to increase his fame and allow more people to learn to cook from him at the same time.
Secondly, it was to let Angela twist the people’s prejudice against the succubi around with this movie and set an example for the succubi.
Of course, it would be great if they could earn a profit.
Who would hate to earn money? Of course, other than those people who liked to only flex.
