How about this story...
While the list of actors was still scrolling on the holographic projection on the stage, the Earl of Bahrain lowered his head and thought seriously about how to answer Duchess Victoria's question.
The Duchess seems to be very fond of this new type of drama called "Shadow Play", or... is interested in some of the things it shows.
But after a few seconds of thinking, Earl Bahrain gave up the idea of flattering or echoing, and frankly expressed his feelings: "It is a brand new thing, only in terms of expression. The language is very novel, but when it comes to the story... I don't really 'appreciate' it, and I can't quite relate to the characters in the play."
This is a nobleman who has enjoyed many dramas. The most immediate thought that came to me after seeing the Phantom drama for the first time.
"But even so, it is still an amazing thing," after a second pause, Earl Baring added, "not just because the people who made it thought of the 'drama' 'Put it on the projection of the Magic Network terminal, and because of its script... I don't know who wrote such a script, but it certainly can't be a long-famous playwright. They can't write such a thing. "
"Script..." Victoria Wilder said softly thoughtfully, her eyes falling on the large holographic projection on the stage, which had already finished the cast list and was emerging. When naming the producers, the first one was the one who wrote the script, "Film... is indeed not a famous playwright."
As soon as she finished speaking, Firm's name appeared After disappearing, the name that emerged next caused the duchess's eyes to change slightly.
Fendir Wilder - followed by the name of Eleven Franklin.
"This..." The Earl of Bahrain who was next to him also happened to see this name, and his expression suddenly became subtle. He looked at the duchess with some confusion, "Maybe..."
< p>He wanted to say it was the same name, but after thinking about it, he realized that this was impossible - the same name was easy to say, but how did he do it? The surname of the Protector Duke was not repeated!Victoria sat there expressionlessly, her eyes slowly turning to the side of the hall. Obviously, she had sensed some familiar magical atmosphere, but she had not thought that a certain name would appear on the stage before. on the holographic projection.
After a few seconds of unbearable silence and chill, the Guardian of the North suddenly stood up and walked towards a small door on the right side of the hall.
And in the huge screening room, the applause still continued...
...
Listening to the sound coming from the hall next door, I became nervous for two seconds. After more than an hour, Firm finally couldn't help but let out a deep breath. The blond young man from the north felt his heart slowly fall to the ground. After a full ten seconds, he whispered to himself: "Finally... I can give an explanation to my father."
"I can also give an explanation to your 'Flower of the Mountains'Take my place." Fendil couldn't help but smile and patted Firm on the shoulder quite forcefully. "This is a brilliant achievement, and it is worth showing off no matter who it is. "
Film suddenly blushed and was cautious: "I..."
Fendil couldn't help laughing: "Don't be so nervous, my friend, pursue love. It’s something to be proud of and only natural. ”
It can be seen that the heir to the North is in a particularly happy mood at the moment. This will be the case for anyone who has reaped fruitful results after a long period of hard work, even if he is a well-educated person. And the same goes for the prominent son who is destined to inherit the position of Duke of the North - this joyful mood even made him forget for a moment the inexplicable nervousness and uneasy premonition that had enveloped his heart not long ago, leaving him with only unadulterated feelings. Happy.
Gawain looked away from a small window that could see the scene in the screening room. He was also in a good mood, and compared to Firm and others, he was in a good mood. Mixed with more ideas
The Magic Shadow drama has been a great success, and the new form of spiritual entertainment has proven to be extremely popular. Its subsequent effects and development prospects are worth looking forward to, all of which are. This is something that has long been expected.
Compared with the influence brought by this film "Immigration", the more valuable thing gained by the Government Affairs Office and the specific producers of the Demon Shadow drama is actually experience. With a successful experience as a reference, Gawain's subsequent plans can be successfully implemented.
The first plan is to make more films that can show Cecil's life and show Cecil. traditional way of thinking, showing the magic shadow theater in the era of magic industry. On the one hand, it is promoted domestically, and on the other hand, it finds a way to penetrate into Typhon. With the help of the newly signed trade contract, the merchants can open the magic shadow theater to Alder South... …
The second plan is currently just a vague and general idea, roughly related to promoting the New Holy Light Church and "modifying" the Old God Faith.
The applause continues. It seems that there are still many people who are unwilling to leave the screening room, still immersed in the novel viewing experience and the stories that moved them: after today, for a long time, "The Immigrant" may become a blockbuster movie. The hot topics in Xier City and even the entire southern region will give rise to a series of new terms, new jobs, and new concepts.
Gawain was brewing those long-term plans, but suddenly, he He felt that eyes were falling on him.
Looking according to the feeling, he saw Amber’s bright eyes.
“What’s wrong? Gawain looked down at himself, "Is there something on me?" "
"Relax your mind once in a while and don't spend all your energy on planning," Amber said rarely seriously - although the second half of her sentence still made people want to slap her on the wall," If you have to plan for ten years after watching a drama, aren't you afraid that you will be exhausted in this life? ”
Gao Wen was slightly startled, and some helplessness and self-mockery emerged in his heart.
He was actually educated by this half-elf - and he had no temper.
He did plan too much, and even turned planning into instinct, and attributed everything to calculation.
While hundreds of people could calm down and enjoy a story, he only thought about how many Typhons this story could turn into "returners" who yearned for Cecil, and calculated Think about how much value this new thing can produce and what uses it will be used for.
But this is exactly what he must do, and what must be done by him - when he decided to create a new order, he was destined to lose some of the enjoyment in this new order. The right to something.
But fortunately, with the big-mouthed guy like Amber reminding him, he can still wake himself up again - don't forget the most fundamental meaning of these new things when they were born.
"It is indeed a good drama. It is worth calming down and enjoying it." Gawain finally breathed out, and the slightly serious expression on his face due to contemplation was quickly replaced by a relaxed smile. He first said He glanced at Amber with a smile, and then looked at the door of the monitoring room, "Besides, we have guests coming." As soon as he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.
Amber, Firm and others immediately looked at the iron door with curiosity. Fendil, who was laughing happily and joking with his friends, also turned his gaze with a bright face and raised his tone: "Oh, visitor, let me see which interesting friend... friend..."
A staff member stepped forward and opened the door. Duchess Victoria Wilder and several people in casual clothes The nobles and their attendants appeared at the door.
Fendil’s brilliant smile instantly became stiff and stagnant as if encountering a “cold disaster”, and the following words seemed to be squeezed out from the bronchus: “Aunt... Aunt...”
p>Duke Victoria did not seem to see the nephew who was raised by her. Instead, she came to Gawain first and paid tribute with impeccable etiquette: "Salute to you, Your Majesty - I'm sorry. Appearing in front of you under such a lack of consideration."
"It doesn't matter, I already knew you were coming," Gawain sat on the chair, nodded with a smile, and responded. Several other people saluted, "I just didn't expect that you would come to watch the first "Shadow Show". I think it is a coincidence."
"It is indeed a coincidence," Victoria said, always coldly There was a slight smile on his face, and then his eyes fell on Fendil and became cold again, "Fendil, is it a coincidence that you are here...?"
"I... ..." As soon as Fendil's stiff smile softened, his expression became stiff again. This northern young man who always smiled brightly obviously couldn't smile in front of Victoria. He looked around and glanced at Gawain. , finally organized the follow-up words, "I came with His Majesty to inspect this..."
"Ahem," the Earl of Bahrain, who was standing not far away, couldn't help coughing quietly and reminded, "Fendy Marquis de Er, at the endIt's a list..."
Fendil: "..."
"It's a good idea to show the list of all actors and production staff at the end, which is in line with the magic projection. "There has never been a similar link in old-style dramas before," Victoria said expressionlessly, "Who came up with the idea?" "
Fendil: "...It's me, aunt. "
"In the last letter, you said that you had entered the Imperial College, were devoting all your energy to your studies, and used your talents to achieve some results..." Victoria looked at Fendil's face. Eyes, said calmly, "So... you are actually working with people to study how to produce dramas? ”
Gawain didn’t say anything, he just sat quietly and watched with a smile. He expressed his willingness to “continue” with practical actions, and his smile was extremely happy.
Amber even took out the melon seeds from his small bag.
Fendil also noticed the obvious attitude of the emperor and the head of the intelligence agency, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. < /p>
After a few seconds of awkward and nervous silence, Fundil, who knew that the Duchess had never been very patient, finally calmed down and broke the silence with a heart that would only thaw after the spring flowers bloom. : "Aunt, I did do something... that was not mentioned in the letter. Producing a drama may not be in line with the status of a nobleman, but in my opinion, it is a very meaningful thing, especially In this place where new things are everywhere, in this place full of new order, some old ideas must..."
Victoria did not wait for Fendil to finish speaking, and spoke in an indifferent tone. His tone interrupted him: "Have I ever said you didn't do well? "
Fendil: "...ah? "
Victoria's ice-blue eyes did not contain any emotion: "I'm just confirming whether you are really a part of this new type of drama - people in the Wilder family need to be honest. "
Gawain turned his head slightly and whispered to Amber who was eating melon seeds: "I thought she would never joke or tease others. "
"Actually, the more facially paralyzed people are, the more powerful they are when they make jokes and tease others," Amber muttered in response, "You can't change their expressions at all. You can tell which of their sentences are making fun of you.
Gawain thought for a while and felt that what Amber said was quite reasonable. Then he clapped his hands and smiled to relieve some of the embarrassment: "Victoria, you don't need to be so strict with the younger generations. There are many young people." It's okay to try something, and it should be openly encouraged as long as it's not too presumptuous. "
Victoria withdrew her gaze from Findil and bowed her head slightly in front of Gawain: "Yes, Your Majesty. ”
A clear sound of exhalation came from not far away at this moment.
The person who was gasping was none other than Firm, who was standing behind Fendil.
This man from a northern town and a civilian familyThe young man almost suffocated in the tense atmosphere just now.
"Let me introduce you," Gawain stood up with a smile and started the introduction without any pretense, "This is Mr. Firm, and the wonderful Phantom Shadow drama is He created it - and his cause has received the full support of the royal family.
"This is the Duchess of Victoria Wilder, one of my deeply trusted Grand Consuls, the Protector of the North. .
"The rest... introduce yourselves."
The Earl of Bahrain and others were surprised by Firm's youth and were looking at it carefully when they heard Gawain's words. , no longer caring about the nobles' reserve and so-called propriety, and introduced their identities one after another.
Listening to those names, Firm was in a daze for a moment...
