The silent film era.

That is, the fourth stage of the invention of cinema, the period of silent cinema.

The Shadow Stone of the Mage's Tower cannot record sounds, but it miraculously uses magic to solve the barriers to recording.

If you simply look at this thing, it probably belongs to the product of the development and invention period of Blue Star Films, but it is far beyond in terms of playing time, you must know that Lumière's masterpieces are basically about one minute.

According to Ke Lan, the Lingering Stone only needs to invest enough, and it can fully reach the length of time that can support a modern movie.

Of course, apart from this, it is impossible to enter the silent film era by nature.

"It's just that with me, it's different. Zhang Xun thought in his heart.

To be precise, with the historical accumulation of Blue Star, Zhang Xun casually picked up many theories summarized by his predecessors, and he could easily cross them directly over the foundation formation period.

If you can solve the problem of synchronous recording of sound, you can even directly enter the sound period.

Of course, Zhang Xun feels that even if there is a way to imprint the sound into it, it is best not to do it, on the one hand, because of his respect for silent films, he is unwilling to skip such an important genre directly, on the other hand, once the sound can be recorded, then he has to think about the breadth of influence, you must know that if it is just a simple image, it is not possible to intuitively express some opinions, and once the sound can be widely disseminated, then it must rise to the height of controlling the caliber of propaganda.

It was too much trouble, and he didn't want to touch it yet.

Of course, a purely silent film can still be used to express political views.

Zhang Xun restrained his thoughts, determined to return later today even if he risked the consequences of overtime and a headache, since the silent movie appeared, he didn't want to cover it, but what made him a little sad was that the appearance of this movie was much earlier than the era of the industrial big machine he was going to carry out.

From this aspect, it also made him realize the importance of combining the national conditions of the other world, and originally wanted to make a movie at least until the later stage, but now it obviously needs to be advanced.

Rectifying the spirit, Zhang Xun immediately led and said: "The manufacturing method of this lingering stone is immediately sealed in the treasury, and it is not allowed to circulate, go and tell the group of people in the Mage Tower, if the manufacturing method of this thing is leaked before I allow it, then they don't think about the research funds in the next few years!"

Ke Lan was taken aback, and directly stuck the funds? This shows that the king attaches great importance to this, but Ke Lan thinks about it, and he doesn't quite understand what the importance of this thing is, although it is very interesting.

However, counterfeiting is expensive, not only the materials are expensive, but in addition to the recipe in the manufacturing process, high-level magicians are also required to operate, and this series is a heavy threshold.

Therefore, Ke Lan immediately realized that Zhang Xun's fear of leakage was that other kingdoms would get his law, but ...... Even if this thing is interesting, what is the use of other countries getting it?

Despite thinking so, Ke Lan still assured neatly: "Your Majesty, please rest assured, you have done a good job of keeping the secret of the formula produced by the Mage Tower. ”

Zhang Xun glanced at him and said lightly: "Then do it better." ”

“…… Be. ”

After a pause, Zhang Xun's expression softened a little more, and said: "In addition, this shadow stone is very good, the resources for the mage tower will be increased appropriately this year, as for the relevant makers, there will be another reward, to pass on my intentions, as long as I make good things, I will not be stingy." ”

Ke Lan showed joy at this time.

"In addition, ......" Zhang Xun groaned and ordered, "Arrange for this photo stone to be placed on the main road of the royal capital gate, facing the gate of the palace, and then start the recording, the approximate time, just record for a quarter of an hour, don't clear the scene during the recording, how it should be, and then take it back for me to review." ”

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the prime minister and said: "Go and arrange people, go to the bridgehead, and temporarily transfer a few officers or soldiers who participated in the Winter War, remember, one is to find those who have made outstanding military achievements, and the other requirement is that the choice must be tall, powerful, and the better the person looks, the better, in addition, the mighty and imposing can also be selected, just choose according to this requirement, if the general asks, just say that I have important things to need." ”

The prime minister was stunned, his face was full of inexplicability, and he couldn't help but ask: "Your Majesty, do you want these people to ......?"

Zhang Xun said with an awe-inspiring expression: "I want to make a movie!"

……

……

No one knows what a movie is.

Anyway, everyone thinks it's a novelty.

The first manifestation of the Shadow Stone in the palace fermented in a short period of time.

Anyway, Zhang Xun didn't ask for a seal, and the palace guards who were present at the time and the maids who watched the excitement quickly spread the news to the whole palace.

Although it was not good to see a group of unsightly old magicians dangling on the wall, it was good enough to be novel, so that this incident was like a sudden wind, blowing a stir in the palace.

"Sister Lan, Sister Lan! Don't you see wow, as soon as the stone lit up, a lot of magicians came out of the wall!

A little maid gestured at Lancôme.

Lancôme sat on a cotton cushion, folding a handkerchief in her hand, and just smiled when she heard this: "How interesting?"

Another maid said, "It's scary anyway." ”

"That is, when I saw with my own eyes, who and who were still the palace guards, they all fell to the ground in fright. ”

"Yes, yes, and the Prime Minister, his eyes are as big as a cow, and he must have been scared!"

Lancôme smiled like a bosom sister and said, "Yes, that ...... What about Your Majesty?"

"Your Majesty...... I didn't pay attention to ......."

"I saw it, Your Majesty is not afraid at all, his eyes are bright, as if he is interested in fried chicken!"

"Yes, he seemed to be very excited, and later said a lot, saying that he wanted to make a movie or something. ”

"Movie?" Lancôme tilted her head slightly, very incomprehensible.

It's a pity that everyone has no clue about this concept, and I guessed and guessed, but I only knew that it probably meant that kind of picture.

Talking and laughing, the last maid said aggrieved for Lankou: "Sister Lan, it's a pity that you didn't see it, why don't you go to Your Majesty and put it on you again, anyway, the stone is left in the palace, I heard that it can be placed hundreds of times." ”

Lancôme couldn't help but smile and said, "Where is such a precious thing to show people casually." ”

"No one else can do it, you can do it!"

"That's it, that's it, you try it, I feel that Your Majesty has become easy to talk again today, otherwise I'm afraid that tomorrow I will have a cold face. ”

Lancôme looked at the group of girls helplessly and said, "I think you want to watch it again, right, and say it's for me." ”

It seemed to pierce the heart, and everyone laughed awkwardly.

Lancôme shook his head, drove them away to do things, looked down himself, found that the handkerchief was not folded properly, simply put it down, thought about it, walked out in a daze, walked a few steps, and didn't know what he was going to do, and found that many people were discussing the previous picture, and couldn't help but be really curious.

But if Your Majesty wants to let her go alone? Lancôme's character can't do this kind of thing.

"However, even if you can't look at the picture, it's okay to go and see what the artifact looks like, right?" Lancôme thought to herself, thinking that this should be okay and within her authority, so she went to look for it, but was surprised to learn a piece of news.

"Ah, Your Majesty has already sent someone to place the Shadow Stone at the gate of the palace, and if you want to see it, you can only go there. One of the guards explained.

"At the gate of the palace?" Lancôme was very surprised, thought about it, couldn't help but be curious, and walked outside the palace.
