"Schindler’s List," this film in a previous life could be said to be a very thought-provoking anti-war film.

This film is adapted from the novel of the same name by Australian novelist Thomas Kenneally.

It tells the story of a German in Poland named Oskar Schindler, who employed over 1,100 Jews to work in his factory during World War II, helping them escape the massacre.

This is a classic anti-war film, and like films such as "The Shawshank Redemption," "The Godfather," "Farewell My Concubine," it is deeply thought-provoking.

Coincidentally, many residents in the city still actually want to carry out mass killings and extermination.

After all, if it weren’t for the Mist Princess and Li Guan Mobai back then, Great Wilderness City might have been directly evaporated or massacred.

I hope that through this film, we can slightly reduce the residents’ fondness for war.

He is not afraid of war but doesn’t delight in it.

Peacefully farm the land, peacefully develop and manage, and improve life.

Not waging war for the sake of war, nor making money just for the sake of money, and not developing technology simply for the sake of technological advancement.

Lin Ke’s philosophy has always been to engage in war, make money, and develop and advance technology for the sake of a better life.

You can’t put the cart before the horse.

He believes that most people also wish to live well, as for aggressiveness and combativeness, they can find their outlet in the arena.

So, use the film "Schindler’s List" to awaken the conscience of the residents.

There were reviews in his previous life stating that the film’s editing techniques, unique camera work, and the profound depiction of the protagonists’ inner worlds were unparalleled.

Although Schindler saved more than a thousand Jews, the depiction of him is not perfect but rather full of complexity.

Not only does he possess the traits of a profiteer, but this complex and even somewhat shameless character also shows humanity and conscience in the war.

The drama "Schindler’s List" achieves an almost unsurpassable depth in both its seriousness of thought and extraordinary artistic expression.

Schindler also represents the human conscience that hasn’t been completely consumed by war.

Therefore, Lin Ke needs some authenticity to create this film.

What kind of authenticity?

In the film, the Jews’ situation is very tragic, and those privileged actors find it hard to portray such feelings.

After all, their skin is white and smooth, their eyes full of life, with no signs of the numbness and despair of persecution.

But today’s batch of actors is different!

They are not "actors," but were instead dropped by theater groups because of their looks, body, and height, and are ordinary people without good jobs so far.

As long as their acting skills are decent, they were recruited by Lin Ke.

Moving forward, films are to be produced one after another, and actors will only become scarce.

Even Azanen’s major theatrical troupes may have to perform in films in the future, because compared to novels and dramas, films have a wider audience, understandable regardless of literacy or artistic literacy, and cover a broader spectrum with visuals and effects.

So, having prepared everything, the movie is ready to start filming.

...

Outside Great Wilderness City, a factory.

This is the filming site.

For more scenes, Lin Ke plans to use some magic and skills to achieve the effects.

Such as illusion magic, a unique magic derived from water magic and light magic.

As for skills, they are not available yet. Once the "director" profession is established, skills will likely develop, and they’ll discuss it further then.

"So now, you are a group of nymphs and enchantresses about to be recruited by the Forest Hut, merely ordinary people, but at this moment, the Ratman Lord of the Holy Life Alliance wants to carry out a massacre strategy against you, Schindler is a factory owner..."

Lin Ke changed the names of the countries in the background, using the Holy Life Alliance for the evil.

Most other names, like Schindler, were retained as original.

The actors listened to Lin Ke’s explanation in a daze.

"But... but we are not nymphs and enchantresses!" A little girl in red pointed at herself, "Master Lin Ke, we are the Human Race!"

"I know." Lin Ke smiled: "But the makeup artist will make you up."

He pointed to a middle-aged man in the crowd.

This man was previously employed by a minor lord in the Mantis Domain to apply foundation to his face.

But because he couldn’t meet the perverted requirements of the lord, he was dismissed, later working in rendering clothing in one of Azanen’s cities, gaining a good reputation for his understanding of color.

"Master Lin Ke." This middle-aged man appeared very proper as if he had some makeup applied that made him look very serious, but his voice was somewhat ingratiating, and his eyes full of flattery.

This is makeup!

The quality of makeup can influence a person’s temperament, changing an originally flattering demeanor through shadow, face shape, facial lines, and more.

"Do the makeup for the respective roles." Lin Ke nodded to this makeup artist: "I trust you’ve memorized the characteristics of each role, so now go start the makeup. Once done, we begin shooting the first scene."

"Yes, Master Lin Ke." The makeup artist promptly took out a genuine leather briefcase made in Great Wilderness, and then started applying makeup, one by one, around him.

Lin Ke began instructing some younger culture department members, mainly regarding directing and screenwriting.

As a newly emerging profession, Lin Ke had to teach these things in detail, first explaining verbally and then letting them figure it out practically.

After a while, the middle-aged man was done with the makeup.

"Master Lin Ke, I have completed the task." The man obediently stood aside with a low brow.

Lin Ke looked over, his eyes lighting up instantly.

If it’s between half-bred enchantresses and nymphs, purebred enchantresses and nymphs, and humans, there are actually many differences.

These differences are reflected in skin, blood, appearance, eyes, and other aspects.

Yet this makeup artist, relying solely on makeup tools, reached a level of verisimilitude.

Of course, such verisimilitude is also easily exposed, such as the green irises made from the wings of woodland cicadas, which only provide basic concealment, and the powder applied on the face differs from the natural bluish-white skin of enchantresses and nymphs.

But for an ordinary person, it was indeed quite impressive.

"Indeed, not bad," Lin Ke praised: "Come find me later when things are done."

John surely investigated this makeup artist’s background and origins, and considering such talent, Lin Ke was willing to give him an opportunity.

"Thank you, Master Lin Ke, thank you, Master Lin Ke!" The makeup artist was immensely excited, repeatedly expressing gratitude.

He knew the opportunity had arrived, the opportunity to become a professional!

And Lin Ke, looked towards the many "nymphs" and "enchantresses."

"Scene one, action!"
