Chen Qi’s troupe filmed The Godfather in Syracuse, then used the success of the film to secure a production deal with Theresis in Londinium. Their political comedy Yes, Prime Minister entertained audiences while prompting Sarkaz leaders to rethink Kazdel’s government and making Vina fear for Victoria’s future.
Chen Qi finished Yes, Prime Minister and escaped Londinium under Theresis’s protection, but Victoria soon broke apart and foreign powers invaded. He began making films to rally people against the war, while Silver Ash and other allies joined the production in Kazimierz.
Chen Qi’s films rallied Victoria against invasion and helped bring the fighting to an armistice, while the political fallout drew powerful nations and leaders closer to his work. Back in Londinium, he began a second season of “Yes, Prime Minister” as Victoria, the Sarkaz, and other countries used its political lessons to navigate their own conflicts.
Chen Qi’s political comedy stirred debate and exposed corruption across Terra as Theresis used it to strengthen his position and win the Bloodborne Archon’s compliance. After Chen Qi received honors from Victoria and Kazdel, Yan’s emperor ordered Wei Yenwu to bring him to Lungmen to make a film.
Chen Qi completed To the Moon, bringing Saria and Kristen closer while its release inspired a charitable foundation. In Lungmen, he assembled the cast for Kung Fu Hustle as filming stirred up martial artists, drew public attention, and gave Theresia reason to wonder whether Chen Qi still remembered her.
Chen Qi completed Kung Fu Hustle, whose martial arts stunned audiences across Terra and led Great Yan to honor Wei Yenwu and Madam Wen Yue. He then went to Leithania to make a film that would draw out public grievances and expose the Witch King's remnants, while Great Yan granted him permission to film its own failings if his work helped avert disaster.
Chen Qi filmed Great Yan Dynasty 1566, forcing Great Yan’s rulers and visiting leaders to confront the corruption and political maneuvering shown in the drama. As the court’s land policy continued to endanger the people, Chen Qi’s work and relationships with Xi and Nian became increasingly entangled.
