Chapter 598 - Visiting the Exhibition (LG10000)
"What's going on?" Hood looked nervously in the direction from which the sobs were coming from.
Zhang Xu looked at his watch and said casually: "It's okay, it's just that the first movie this morning is over." ”
In one corner of the tent, a small theater with 200 seats was built to show movies.
"What kind of film are you playing, isn't it a romance movie, how can you make people cry?" Hood asked, puzzled.
"A romance movie that can make people cry is a good romance movie." Zhang Xu replied, "This is a big production produced by the Hogwarts Film Association this year." ”
"Oh, what's it about?" Hood asked curiously.
"The name of the movie is 'Headless Jazz Love'." Zhang Xu replied, "The story is that at the end of the fifteenth century, a knight who was a court wizard met a lady in the park one night when he was about to have a good life with his beloved new wife. ”
"So he cheated?" Hood asked.
"What are you thinking? Not all love stories unfold this way. Zhang Xu said angrily, "That lady's teeth are a little crooked, so Jazz used magic to help her straighten them." However, the spell went awry, and the lady's teeth turned into ten-inch-long fangs. As a result, the knight was sentenced to death, and the next day his head was cut off. ”
"However, the knight became a ghost after his death."
"Next, the ghost-turned-Sir realizes that his death is strange and starts an investigation."
As a result, he found ...... Forget it, I won't spoil it, if you want to know, go to the cinema and watch it yourself. ”
At this time, Zhang Xu found that Hood's face was a little strange.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xu asked.
The corners of Hood's mouth twitched, and he said, "You should know that court wizards are wizards who belong to our line. It's just that there was no secrecy law at that time, so there was no clear boundary between the two sides. ”
Zhang Xu nodded.
"When I was younger, I read a lot of historical documents." Hood continued, "If I remember correctly, this is the story of Sir Nicholas de Mimsci-Boltington. And he's still in Hogwarts in ghost form. ”
"yes." Zhang Xu replied, "This story is based on his real experience, and also refers to some Muggle movies. ”
"I remember that he was framed and killed because he was involved in a palace struggle, what kind of love story is there?" Hood said.
"The person concerned said that there is, then there is." Zhang Xu shrugged his shoulders and said, "And none of this is contradictory." ”
"There's another one later, I'll ask you to go and see it." Zhang Xu finally said.
Hood nodded noncommittally.
After visiting a tea distributor's booth and a French pastry merchant's booth, and after talking to Hood about a weekly business of importing pastries from France through sock logistics, the two entered the cinema half a minute before the second movie began.
By the time the two of them arrived at the cinema, it was already full, and the audience was curious about what kind of story this movie was about, which would silence men and women in the first scene.
It didn't matter if there were no seats, Zhang took advantage of his privilege to take Hood inside, and then used Transfiguration to add chairs to the back hallway.
The first scene of the film opens in a harvest vineyard, where the living Nick and his new wife, who had just been married the day before, and the farmers in the field are singing and dancing to pick ripe grapes for wine, while the hero and heroine wholesale dog food on screen. (The art director of this scene is the Patil sisters from India)
What follows is the plot of Xiu Eun's love for death, and the scene of Nick, who is desperate in his cell under the moonlight, shouts hoarsely in front of the bars "I can straighten her teeth well", showing his yearning for life and despair of death before he dies vividly.
Then there's the plot where the executioner slashes Nick off with forty-six axes and completely chops off Nick's head. This scene is something that Nick strongly demands. At the end of this scene, the look of nostalgia and despair on Nick's face can still be seen on Nick's head rolling on the ground.
That's when Nick, the ghost who plays himself, comes into the picture.
After seeing his wife cry and faint at his funeral, Nick, who has become a ghost, decides not to appear in front of his wife again.
As he wandered aimlessly, he heard the news that his former friend was about to propose to his widowed wife.
On the day of the prom, Nick hides his head in the lounge after returning to his castle, intending to surprise his friend and ask him to treat his wife well in the future.
However, Nick's head hears a conspiracy under a chair in the break room. It was a conspiracy to kill herself, and her friend proposed to his wife for her own territory.
Meanwhile, Mrs. Nick is on the terrace telling the moon in the sky about how much she misses her dead husband.
At this moment, Nick, who had just become a ghost, failed to control his body perfectly, and his body floated in front of his wife.
Unaware that his existence had been exposed to his wife, Nick was furious and clumsily hid himself while making a mess of the proposal ball. (The technical director for this scene is Peeves)
That night, after the guests dispersed, Nick, who was hiding in his bedroom closet, was found by his wife.
Faced with his tearful wife, Nick clumsily uses his head as a prop to perform juggling, trying to make fun of his wife. As a result, the harder he performed, the more his wife cried.
Just as a person and a ghost are distributing dog food while exploring the truth of the matter, they find themselves involved in a huge conspiracy.
In 1491, a French merchant, claiming to be Richard, Duke of York, the second son of the former English King Edward IV, after receiving support from France and Scotland, raised an army against the current English king, Henry VII.
Putting Nick's wand on his wand and getting Lady Griff, who had been tricked into going to the park, to get her fangs and put him to death, was part of the plan to assassinate Henry VII.
At the same time, the villains, who discover that Nick has become a ghost and whose plans may have been exposed, have resorted to various methods to try to thwart the Nicks' investigation. They even found a soul exorcist from the East and his assistant, a Deadly Poison Drop who carried multiple poisons with him, to assassinate the Nicks.
After a lot of stories and accidents (most of the complex here comes from the true deeds of a certain agent), Henry VII did not drink the poisoned cider at the last moment, and the villain's plot was finally uncovered and wiped out.
It's just that in the end, people and ghosts have different paths......
The tragedy at the beginning and the storyline of comedy in the middle make the audience think that the ghost couple will continue to live together in the finale until Mrs. Nick reaches the end of her life.
However, in the final scene, an unexpected discovery forces Nick to leave his wife. An ending that was originally thought to be a happy ending was torn to shreds in front of the audience who were caught off guard.
At the end, the scene of Nick's ghost kissing goodbye to his sleeping wife made the audience cry.
After the movie, the audience left the cinema with infinite sympathy for the Nicks and hatred for the French.
