Him and their stars

"First of all, it is a stage play script after all. The timing and expression space are limited, so the character structure cannot be too complicated. If we plan to make a movie in the future, we can play something bigger." Yu Lian calmly picked it up from the table A piece of document paper.

"You still want to make a movie? I know a lot about movies, and I have written some scripts. However, I usually don't make much money from the scripts that I spent a year and a half carefully preparing. In the past two or three weeks, the things that have been painted with ghost symbols to deal with people have always been a big hit. The audience likes to watch light-hearted things."

That’s why I say that a great writer like Mr. Qi, who is comfortable with both popular and serious subjects and has made brilliant achievements, is completely the protagonist template of Wenzhao flow. Just the title of a new work is enough to make big news in the universe. It can definitely be called a treasure of the people on earth and a colossus weapon in the propaganda world! It's a pity that the big shots in the community don't know how to use it.

"Audiences like to watch light-hearted things because they are suffering. Audiences only like to watch light-hearted things because they are not suffering enough," Yu Lian said.

Mr. Qi sighed softly and nodded.

"In addition, it is also possible that it is because someone did not let them face the suffering. However, the days are long, and we can definitely do it step by step." Yu Lian pondered for a while, and then wrote a few words on the document paper.

"Don't tell me that you are composing on the spot. Can you write a poem in seven steps? In other words, are you not only a genius in fighting, but also have such a talent? That is really disrespectful." Mr. Qi He smiled, and then saw Yu Lian leaving the words "Princess Gumeia and the Seven Little Starfish" on the paper.

How could it be possible to write "The White-Haired Girl" and "Thunderstorm"! Even if it was written, it would still require major surgery! It does not conform to the characteristics of the times, but it cannot impress people.

In addition, if you really want to strip the underbelly of capitalism, "The Great Gatsby" and "My Uncle Jules" will be easier to modify. However, this is the time to wait until the future to play with the alliance. Now, don’t we have to play with the empire first?

"...Princess Gumeia? You are really too spirited. I know you are planning to cause trouble for the Imperial devils, but if you use your real name like this, do you really think that the Empire has no supervision? They are much stricter than the Alliance in this regard. That’s it.” Mr. Qi advised earnestly. If the old man hadn't burst into laughter and felt that every fold was full of bad humor, Yu Lian might have believed him.

"That's why I used seven little starfish!"

"So why a starfish?"

Well, in a story set in a space war, isn't it natural to persecute starfish? Although Yu Lian wanted to say this, he probably would be regarded as mentally retarded by the old man if he said it, so he explained: "I can't just say Kuifei people directly, so of course I have to use starfish instead. Anyway, they look very similar. Once you understand nature, you will understand.”

"How do they look alike? They are also normal mammals, okay? You can't just say that they prefer to be active in the sea and just call them starfish!" Mr. Qi said helplessly.

The Quafi do look somewhat similar to starfish. They are about one-third the size of humans, with a chubby but very agile body. There is no neck separation between the triangular head and the torso, and they look like they grow together.

Their limbs are very dexterous and can be used to walk upright and operate various tools freely on the ground. But in the sea, by absorbing a large amount of water, they turn into full starfish tentacles, pushing the body to swim freely in the sea.

This is a minority living within the empire, or rather, it is just one of the rather inconspicuous components of the empire's long list of conquests.

Before being completely conquered by the Tirero people, this intelligent race living on the continental shelf and shallow seas had already established a quite prosperous civilization. They have complete writing, calendars and laws, systematic rules and regulations, and moral pursuits. They have also formed five or six complete civilization circles on their home planet, and are moving towards final unification.

If we look at the degree of civilization, the Quafi people should be equivalent to the late medieval or early Renaissance era of the earth.

Sadly, even with this level of civilization, in the eyes of the empire that had traveled across the galaxy at that time, they were still no different from primitive people. What's more, the early conquest history of the Tirero people was trampled on by blood and fire.

The Quafi cities were razed, the scholars massacred, and the writings buried. For the empire two thousand years ago, all they needed were slaves, servants, cannon fodder, and even biological batteries and canned materials.

Diversity of civilizations, what is that? Can it generate electricity or eat food?

When the empire entered the reign of the reborn Emperor Ewenya and became relatively relaxed, the cultural heritage of the Kufi people was almost cut off. They only know that they are the lower-class ethnic group of the empire, living numbly like slaves.

"Our story, Princess Gumeia and the Seven Little Starfish, tells the story of the empire's reign, and it was not many years ago." Yu Liandao.

"There is no way around this Princess Gumeiya. Do you have any plans with the Gumeiya people recently? If your plan is to meet with the Gumeiya people in the Tianyu, it is best to cancel it. It is too sensitive. I guess, Every Gumeiya who enters the Heaven Realm has at least one group of secret police. In addition, it’s really not Princess Gumeia. If she doesn’t change her title, she will definitely not be able to get on stage.”

"Well, let's call her Princess Emerald, or Princess Green Star for short."

"You..." Mr. Qi glared at Yu Lian, but he couldn't help but feel happy.

There are many green planets in the universe, but when it comes to "emerald" planets, most people's first reaction must be the ancient Meiya star in the imperial capital sky.

"Emeralds are emeralds. Anyway, there are many planets like emeralds in the universe. If the empire is still not satisfied, I will go directly to the Cultural Administration Bureau to bet on their coward boss Che!" Mr. Qi sneered.

What can Yu Lian say? It can only be said that the great writer is powerful. After giving a thumbs up to Mr. Qi, he continued: "In general, this is a true story that happened a hundred years ago. Of course, we can do a little processing."

We all know that Tianyu is not just the hometown of the Tiruiro people. In fact, the Tirero people born on the blue planet and the ancient Meiya people born on the green planet realized in the era of electromagnetic communication that they were not alone in the universe.

Then, when they first stepped out of the universe, they faced cruel challenges from competitors.

The two sides obviously live under the same sun, but they don't seem to want to consider the issue of working together and co-prosperity, which would make the sky dark and the earth dark.

In short, after nearly half a century of war, the Empire finally achieved complete victory. Of course, through this war, the Tiruiro people did forge a folk custom rich in martial arts and a proactive national system. In a sense, the ancient Meiya people are really the "benefactors" who helped the empire forge its national soul.

Therefore, in order to repay the favor, the empire drove all the remaining ancient Meiya people out of the green planet and moved to the border of the empire.

Then, as the empire's territory expanded, the former borders turned into the hinterland, and the ancient Meiya people had to migrate to all directions in the universe again and again. Their ethnic groups are becoming more and more dispersed, their communities are getting smaller and smaller, and their power is certainly getting weaker and weaker.

In the process of this great migration, a young girl whose ancestors were said to be ancient Meiya, ah no, the princess of the Emerald Star, ended up on the ocean planet due to some accidents during the migration.

She was poor and sick, and when she was about to die, she collapsed in a corner of the city's harbor. When she was about to die, she was saved by a group of little starfish.

These little starfish are not brothers, but a pair of parents with five young children. They lived a difficult but hard life. Although they felt exhausted just by living, after all, the whole family worked hard together, which was the happiest thing.

Then, on the local Emperor's Day, which was the day when the empire came to this planet, the Haixing family finally had a rare meal of crabs, shrimps, shellfish and fish. They are obviously marine creatures, but they can only eat them during this period of the year. They usually live mainly on algae.

After the children fell asleep, Haixing's parents took advantage of the darkness and went to the beach again, hoping to rush to the sea to pick up some seafood for the children. They are obviously marine creatures, but they are only allowed to board the beaches around agricultural areas on this day every year.

However, the closer to the beach in the city, the more people there were. Starfish parents went to the remote reef area and found a nest of swimming crabs. They also picked up the dying Emerald Princess.

"We gained a lot today. This is His Majesty's blessing!" Haixing's father said to Haixing's mother.

"Your Majesty will protect good people." Haixing's mother said to Haixing's father.

Ever since, the two of them took Princess Green Star home and took good care of her.

"Wait a minute, aren't the Kuifei people marine creatures? How can the ancient Meiya people return to their home?" Mr. Qi said.

"That was before. The imperial government felt that it was difficult to manage so many indigenous people living on the undersea continental shelf, so they forcibly drove them to the sea. They built shantytowns floating on the sea with steel and composite materials. Such houses are like Biqui The undersea buildings built by the Filipinos using coral reefs are much stronger, which is a real sign of the emperor's grace! Anyway, the Kuifi people are an amphibious race. They live on the sea and on the shore for a long time. At most, they are prone to weakness, illness, and shortened life spans. But for a short time, You can't die either." Yu Lian shrugged.

In this way, Princess Green Star became a member of the family of seven little starfish.

Of course, the shantytowns on the sea surface prepared by the Imperial Governor's Mansion for marine races cannot only consist of starfish, but also ethnic groups that have migrated from other planets, so multiple Green Star people are not too inconsistent.

Princess Green Star was very grateful to the little starfish for saving her life, and she quickly got back to work after recovering. The living space of this family has become increasingly narrow, but it seems to be moving in a better direction.

"If we work hard for a few more years, we can move to a city closer to the sea and buy a house that can be dived," Haixing's father said.

"Yes, the first floor of the house is sunk in the sea, where we live. The second floor is floating on the water, where the princess lives." Haixing's mother said.

Princess is the nickname given by the little starfish to Princess Green Star, which means she is as beautiful as a princess. The reason why she is called "Green Star Princess" comes from this.

Haixing's parents wanted to buy a new house as soon as possible, so they worked an extra job to raise seahorses for the new lord. It was not an ordinary seahorse, but a ferocious alien beast that looked like a super seahorse, and it was a phantom beast with psychic powers.

Because it's dangerous, the pay is high.

Because of the high salary, Haixing’s father and Haixing’s mother were treated to the lord’s seahorse as dessert on their tenth day of work.

"Don't worry, they won't be in any pain. This is the master's wish." The lord's retainer left the first month's salary of Haixing's parents to Little Haixing and Princess Green Star, and then hung the benefactor's He walked away contentedly.

"I am your mother too! I will take care of you." The princess said to the remaining five little starfish.

Then, she worked harder and harder and raised the little starfish as her own children.

Then, the little starfish gradually grew up, and they were extremely sad to see their mother Duoduo's increasingly haggard face. In order to prevent this mother from having such a hard time, the three brothers, the eldest starfish, decided to go out to find jobs.

Brother Starfish went to work in the watermelon planting area of ​​Dome Farm. The treatment given by the boss is good, at least food and accommodation are included, and you can enjoy a particularly environmentally friendly pastoral life.

Of course, the Starfish people cannot actually bear the heavy work of staying in dry areas for a long time and being exposed to the sun. However, the boss said that he had "never seen a Starfish who worked hard to grow watermelons" and gave him 5% more salary. , Brother Haixing started working here.

The second brother Haixing went to work in the private seaside estate of a noble man. His job was to breed and collect rare fish, corals, and natural black pearls that are a specialty of the local planet.

The pay here is better, and wages are based on performance. As long as you dive more than 500 times a month and work on the seabed at a depth of less than 300 to 400 meters for more than half an hour each time, you can have two full meals in the morning and evening.

Of course, to get extra wages, you need to do more. If you dive more than forty times a day, you will get a perfect attendance bonus at the end of the month. Workers who perform more than ten times a month will get additional bonuses. Occasionally, you can also get leftovers from pearl clams rewarded by the supervisor and use them to cook for your family. .

In addition, if tourists come to visit the manor, they will also have to demonstrate underwater operations on site and complete some dangerous underwater performances. Although it is dangerous, if you do it well, you can get rewards from tourists. Although the manor would take away 90% of the money, they would still get some money.

Brother Haixing is still far from adulthood, but he has been spotted by a large ship repair company. But he is not the only underage starfish working here. Because only their size can get into some narrow mechanical gaps and complete maintenance. Although the machinery is very dangerous once it rotates and can always pinch off the tentacles of small starfish, the wages are already 80% of those of adult starfish workers.

Although the work of the three brothers was very difficult, Haixing's family finally saw hope of survival.

Isn’t it enough to have hope? In this world, as long as the whole family can live together, they have to do their best, and that is already a very happy thing.

However, bad news soon struck this unfortunate family again.

A full-scale war broke out between the Empire and the Alliance. This was the second galactic war recorded in history. The planet's economy, whose main industries are high-end agricultural products and luxury goods, has been hit hard, and the unemployment rate on the planet has begun to rise step by step. The nobles and businessmen would rather continue to hire cheap ocean natives than hire Tirello citizens.

In addition, the alliance also produced a famous starfish general, who inflicted heavy losses on the empire on the front line. Although some people are calling out that the starfish of the Alliance and the starfish of the Empire are completely different species and just look similar, how can ordinary people with no education accept this?

As a result, on this planet that was supposed to be the home of starfish, an atmosphere of hatred towards starfish began to appear.

One day, after finishing the day's planting, Brother Haixing was about to go home with the watermelon given by the farmer. However, he was stopped by the imperial police patrolling the road and wanted to arrest him for being a thief.

On this planet, watermelons grown in ecological farms are high-end agricultural products that cannot be afforded by ordinary starfish.

No matter how Brother Haixing explains it to the other party, the other party doesn't believe it. One of the military policemen brutally knocked the boss to the ground with a stun gun. The boss, who had been working all day, was already very weak. The sudden electric shock caused visceral paralysis and respiratory failure.

The eldest son used his last strength to shout "Princess Mom" ​​and then died.

Brother Haixing quickly asked for leave after hearing the bad news. The supervisor said that he would not be able to get the perfect attendance bonus if he went home now, but the former had no choice but to accept it.

However, just as he left the gate of the noble man's manor, he was stopped by a group of workers of other races. Brother Haixing recognized that these were all his colleagues, but they were laid off by the noble master due to the economic downturn.

"It's these starfish that cost us our jobs!"

"Everything would be fine without you starfish!"

The man who lost his mind grabbed Haixing, punched and kicked him, and poured acid on him. Brother Haixing died in pain.

What he didn't know was that his youngest brother had also died before that.

Because the war on the front line is becoming more and more intense, various types of ships often need maintenance, and the workload is getting larger and larger. The third brother Haixing, who had been working hard for more than ten hours, fell into a drowsy sleep when he entered the belly of the ship for engine maintenance. Ten minutes later, the engine started again and the child's body was completely vaporized.

After Princess Green Star learned that her three "sons" had all died violently, she went to a hairdressing shop owned by an imperial man in the town, untied her hairband, and let down her hair as if it were woven with moonlight. .

"What beautiful hair!" cried the Imperial Barber.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

"An Imperial Golden Dragon."

"Cut it."

She bought her two youngest starfish sisters their favorite fish, shrimp and algae cakes, as well as new wool clothes and dolls, and bought herself a small cup of hot chocolate.

"Princess Mom, what day is today?"

"Good days. We'll go to a better home."

"Then we have to wait for our brothers to come back?"

"They have already gone there to wait for us. After they have eaten enough and put on new clothes, we will set off together!"

"Great!"

The children fell asleep forever with their longing for a new life.

Princess Green Star lit the house on fire, letting the fire devour the home that had given her warmth for more than ten years, and slowly spread the fire to the entire surrounding shanty town. She rushed out of the flames and rushed towards the Imperial soldiers who came after hearing the news.

"This is the story of Princess Green Star and the seven little starfish. What do you think?" Yu Lian blinked and asked Mr. Qi.
