Chapter 772 New Drama

After confirming that there were really only a bunch of magic parts and crystal arrays on the stage, Count Balin believed that he had grasped the essence of this so-called "new style of drama".

It's not a brilliant new technology, but he still has to praise it. It's a great idea.

Record the traditional drama in the photo crystal, and then use the characteristics of the Magic Network terminal to be played repeatedly and on a large scale, turning a scene of drama into a "commodity" that can be continuously copied and reproduced, cheaply The magic device can instantly reduce the cost of this kind of "drama" to an incredible level, but its effect will not be compromised.

Therefore, there is such a "popular" theater, there are tickets with the original price of only six el, and there are "new dramas" that ordinary citizens can watch at will.

There is no doubt that this is in line with the "new order" promoted by His Majesty Gawain Cecil and in line with the two core values ​​of "technology serving the public" and "mass production laying the foundation".

No wonder this thing has received strong support from the Government Affairs Department, so that it can be promoted with such great fanfare in the imperial capital.

The Earl of Bahrain can see this, and basically everyone else present can also see it - none of the people following Victoria are stupid people, and the process of maintaining the operation of the Government Affairs Office in the old royal capital Zhong also came into contact with many cases related to magic technology. At least based on their understanding and association skills, they could easily guess how this new type of drama was realized - the technology itself was not surprising, but they were still very surprised. Appreciate the person who came up with this good idea: In such an era of rapid development, being able to come up with good ideas is an amazing ability in itself.

After thinking about this, Earl Bahrain adjusted his posture on the chair, preparing to watch the content that was about to be presented on the stage from a relatively comfortable angle - there were people around and there were not enough seats. It is spacious, and there are no high-end servants around to provide services, no desserts to spend time, and no private terrace. This is not a comfortable environment for watching a drama, but it may be a novel and interesting experience.

Not long after he adjusted his posture, a ringing sound came from nowhere.

There is light rising on the stage.

In the hall that seemed a little noisy just a moment ago, the voices gradually decreased, and the civilians who entered the "theater" for the first time finally calmed down. With expectation, nervousness, and curiosity, they saw the people on the stage. The crystal array lit up one by one in the light of magic, and then the holographic projection rose from the sky.

Many people understand that this should be similar to the Magic Network terminal that broadcasts programs on the street, but this does not affect their attention to the content presented on the projection——

There are no castles, no knights, no princesses coming to play among the people, and no gardens and fountains overlooking the terrace of the manor.

There are only characters appearing one after another who live in the streets and houses, wandering in the streets and alleys, trying to maintain food and clothing.

Earl Barin frowned in confusion, and several people around him frowned in confusion.

Victoria Wilder just watched all this quietly and expressionlessly.

The camera moves between the criss-crossing alleys, passing through the crowds of people bargaining loudly, working hard, crying and laughing. It seems that this is not an arranged stage, but just a pair of people walking from a certain seat. The eyes passing by in the old city - this city does not exist, but it is very real. It straightforwardly displays some things that are a little strange to Earl Bahrain, but very familiar to most people in the hall.

That's where they once lived, and where they once lived - and who they once were.

......

In a room next to the screening hall, Gawain sat next to a monitor. What was shown on the monitor was exactly the same as what was on the "stage" The screen, and around him, the room was filled with various magic devices, and several magic technicians were concentrating on those devices to ensure that the first screening went smoothly.

Gawain looked away from the monitor.

He has watched the entire Demon Shadow drama in advance, and frankly speaking, this drama is really a very simple story for him.

It just tells the story of a few young people living in the north. Due to the hardship of life and the bleak future, and the outbreak of the war in the north, they had to sell their belongings and leave their hometowns with their families, and took a mechanical ship to cross the border. A story about half a country coming to the south to start a new life.

In the middle, there are various scenes of human life on the immigration ship, telling the experiences of a series of little people -

A taciturn watchmaker who was framed because of his withdrawn personality. Expelled from their hometown, they found a new place to settle in a factory in the south; an old couple who were separated from their only son during the war wanted to go to relatives, but accidentally boarded an immigrant ship and ended up on an immigrant ship. When they were about to get off the ship, they discovered that the "gear geek" who had been staying in the mechanical cabin at the bottom of the ship turned out to be their son who lost his memory during the war; a down-and-out mercenary who was hunted down by his enemies stole a ticket and boarded the ship. He tried hard to pretend to be a decent knight, but when the ship was blocked by the war zone, he stood up bravely, like a real knight, dealing with the officers who wanted to board the ship to search for property in the name of inspection, and protected a pair of people on the ship who had no one on board. Pass brother and sister...

In this ghost drama, Firm and his friends are not pursuing any sensational palace intrigues or empty preaching metaphors. The only thing they are doing is to do everything possible. Try to tell a good story.

Make them as if they are really happening around you.

“Its plot is not complicated"It's simple," Gawain turned his head and looked at Firm, who was standing not far away with a nervous and restless face, "it's easy to understand." "

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty," Firm said in a panic, "It... is indeed a bit simple..."

Gawain smiled and shook his head. : "No, I'm not finding fault. On the contrary, I think it's just right. The first Phantom drama, it needs to be easy to understand. ”

This is not to comfort Firm, but what he thinks is indeed true.

Gawain does not lack any thrilling, bizarre, twists and turns of wonderful script ideas. In fact, In such an era of lack of spiritual entertainment, a random search in his mind revealed countless stories that surpassed contemporary dramas in terms of plot structure, suspense setting, world background, etc. However, if used as the script of the first Phantom drama, those things may not necessarily Appropriate.

The first Phantom drama is intended for the public, and the vast majority of these audiences have never watched even the simplest drama in their entire lives. .

If the story is too twists and turns and bizarre, they may not understand it; if the story is too out of touch with their lives, they may not be able to understand it; if the story is too rich in connotation and has far-reaching metaphors, they may even think that "The Shadow Drama" is a drama. This is such a boring thing that I have to stay away from it and it is difficult to promote it.

In Gao Wen's opinion, it is far better for a "local" to write a story for "locals" than for him to do it himself. It would be more appropriate to collect a few different world legends in his mind - the latter still needs to be processed to fit the local world view, and it may not arouse the interest of the public after processing.

"To be honest, There are many things in this story that I know for the first time." Next to Firm, Elaine said with a slightly shy smile, "Father is right, I should come out and see the world. Learn something. "

As he spoke, the Western heir glanced at his friend on the other side with a little curiosity on his face: "Fendil, what's wrong with you? Why have you been so restless since just now? "

"I... it's nothing, it's probably an illusion," Fendil, who has short silver hair, a tall figure and a sunny temperament, seemed a little nervous and worried at the moment. He smiled and shook his head, " I had a bad feeling from the beginning, as if I was going to be in trouble. "

Film suddenly became nervous: "You mean there will be problems with today's 'premiere'? ”

Powerful extraordinary beings often have some “intuitive premonitions” that are difficult for ordinary people to understand. Firm didn’t understand this very well. He only thought that this kind of intuition would be something like a “prophecy”. Therefore, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous when he heard Fendil's words.

"No, it's not about this," Fendil quickly waved his hand, "Be confident, Phil. Mum, your work is excellent - look at Miss Amber's face, she clearly loves the Phantom drama. ”

Next to the monitor, Amber was looking at the picture on the holographic projection without blinking, seemingly alreadyShe was completely immersed in it, but after Fundil finished speaking, her ears still trembled, and she said without looking back: "It's really good - at least some of the details are quite real. The mercenary who stole the ticket - his Although the recruitment is simple, it is really exquisite. Did you find someone to guide you?"

"We went to the Public Security Bureau several times for this," Firm lowered his head in embarrassment, "That acting. The mercenary actor is actually a thief... I mean, he used to be a thief."

"That's right," Gawain laughed, "I mean your serious attitude is very serious. Not bad."

As he spoke, he turned his head and looked in the direction of the screening hall next door as if through the wall.

Not only Film and others have a good attitude in producing the Phantom drama.

Fendil's intuition... seems to be quite good.

……

During the more than two hours of screening, the hall was very quiet.

This seemed a bit unbelievable to a group of civilians who entered the theater for the first time, and to the Earl of Bahrain and others who sat together with so many civilians for the first time.

Halfway through the show, Earl Balin realized one thing: apart from serving as the background in the picture, castles, manors, palaces and the like would probably never appear. .

Except for the mercenary pretending to be a knight and a few old noble knights who are obviously villains, the "knights" should really not appear.

Narration poems, heroic monologues, priests who symbolize gods, and philosophers and scholars who symbolize wise nobles should all disappear.

The story is not complicated, and at least in Earl Barin's opinion - it is not very interesting either.

Most of the things inside are incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and unrelatable to this nobleman from the royal capital.

But he still read the whole story seriously and noticed that everyone in the hall was completely immersed in the story of "The Shadow Show".

When the story came to an end, the "Highlander", which had gone through ups and downs, survived the war blockade, and survived monsters and mechanical failures, finally arrived safely at the southern port city. The audience They were pleasantly surprised to find that a figure they were very familiar with actually appeared on the screen of the movie "Magic Shadow" - the beloved witch lady played a guest role as a receptionist responsible for registering immigrants in the play, and even the Ding Ding Mr. Cod, a famous businessman and the owner of Cod Family Services Company, also acted as a guide on the dock.

The ending of the whole story is even more novel: after the subtitles of "A few years later" flashed, the immigrants who had settled in the south appeared on the screen, and they narrated it in the way of memories. My previous experience on the ship, my experience of starting life in my new home, the last scene of the magic shadow drama, is dozens of small screenshots put together, and dozens of characters are speaking in unison in the projection.Say the last line:

"Yes, this is how we start a new life."

The screen gradually dimmed, and the list of actors began to appear on the holographic projection screen.

Earl Bahrain breathed a sigh of relief and was about to stand up, but a soft voice suddenly came from the seat behind him:

"Yes, this is how we start a new life. Of..."

Earl Bahrain was startled for a moment. Before he could follow the sound and turn his head, he heard more voices coming from nearby:

"Yes, we are. This is how you start a new life..."

Many people were still looking in the direction of the extinguished crystal array, and many were still repeating the last line softly.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in this city are immigrants, or refugees.

They have experienced everything in the story - leaving home, long journeys, taking root in a strange land, working, building their own houses, cultivating their own land...

No other story can move the people sitting here as much as "Immigration".

Gradually, applause finally broke out. The applause became more and more louder and louder, and gradually resounded throughout the entire hall.

Amidst the applause from around him, the Earl of Bahrain suddenly heard the voice of Victoria Wilder coming into his ears:

“They came here to read other people’s stories, but in I see myself in the story.

"Mr. Baring, what do you think of this story? ”
