"The Count of Monte Cristo is officially released in the city of El Roy!"

"According to the statistics of the central railway station, the number of passengers on that day was more than ten times that of usual, and a large number of passengers came to the city of Elroy just to see the phantom."

"The Count of Monte Cristo was screened free of charge in the central square, attracting more than 50,000 viewers on the day!"

"Shocking applause! A new art called Phantom is born! ”

"Subvert the traditional theatrical model! "The Count of Monte Cristo" phantom released! ”

Puran was flipping through the today's newspaper in the city of Elroy in his office, all the newspapers published the release of the movie "The Count of Monte Cristo", he was given a VIP movie ticket as Harvey's reviewer, and he also went to see it, Puran's evaluation of the phantom of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is beyond imagination, and the phantom presents the plot tension of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and the emotions and plot impact of the characters in the novel to the audience without reservation.

Even workers who have never been exposed to the so-called art and do not know what words are can intuitively experience the charm of the apparition of "The Count of Monte Cristo" and the whole story.

When the phantom ended, everything came to an end, and the incomparably touching scene in the novel was transformed into a movie, and its infectious power instantly destroyed the psychological defense of all audiences, and the applause of the phantom of "The Count of Monte Cristo" is still in the ears, and that night, when Puran himself stood up and applauded with tears in his eyes, he knew what a sensation the phantom could cause.

Even as a reviewer, Puran has to admit that the charm of the phantom is above the novel.

During this time, relying on his relationship with Harvey, the newspaper he founded the publishing house could often get first-hand information about the phantom of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and this time was no exception, and the popularity of the newspaper operated by the publishing house finally recovered significantly.

"Ding Ding Ding Ding~"

The old-fashioned phone on the desk rang, and when Puran picked it up, he heard his secretary's voice: "Mr. Poolan, a lady named Shirley Adrian wants to meet you." ”

Puran nodded, "Let her in." ”

After a while, Shirley, who was dressed in simple civilian clothes, came in, bowed slightly, and then handed the document in his hand to Puran: "Mr. Garcia, this is the remaining illustration from the Dark Age novel. ”

"Ms. Shirley, can I take a look?"

Shirley nodded indifferently: "Of course." ”

Puran opened the folder, there were more than twenty illustrations in the folder, each one was exquisite, the slender lines portrayed each character, each scene vividly, the texture of the armor or the muscles of the monster made Puran feel an unprecedented look. No matter how many times you see Puran will be amazed by the illustrations from Shirley's hand, the level of painting has now reached the level of a famous artist, and more importantly, this peculiar style of painting is highly recognizable, even if it cannot be recognized by the mainstream, there is no doubt that it is very suitable for the needs of novel illustration.

Just like the novel "Dark Age", there is no personal feeling attached to the painter, and the scene depicted in the novel is restored as much as possible, maintaining the realism and highlighting the atmosphere of the scene.

In such a short period of time, all the novel illustrations of "Dark Age" were completed, and some of them were reset, while retaining this beautiful art level. Puran looked at Shirley with a hint of weirdness, who were the people around Harvey, if the dignified and elegant woman in front of him wanted to, she should easily become a well-known painter.

"Madam Shirley, you have really done me a great favor, and now that Mr. Adrian has caused such a sensation by making the phantom of The Count of Monte Cristo, since the first volume of the illustration of the novel "The Dark Age" is ready for printing, it will definitely greatly increase the exposure of the novel if it is promoted."

Shirley chuckled, "Well, I'm glad I could help you." ”

In addition to the housework, she devotes all of her time to the illustrations, and every detail has been heavily revised, which makes her relieved to be able to finish them before Harvey gets married.

"The illustrations are as high as ever, and with these novel illustrations, Dark Age can officially enter the preparation stage, please go back and tell Mr. Adrian that Dark Age should be published within this week."

Shirley bowed her head and left the publishing house.

As soon as Shirley walked away, a male employee of the publishing house walked in, saw Puran looking at the illustration, and couldn't help but ask, "Puran, is that noble lady just now Melcetes?" ”

"Mercetes?" Puran didn't react for a while, and then smiled dumbly: "Ms. Shirley is indeed the actor of Mercetes. ”

"Oh my God! No wonder they look so similar! At first sight, I almost called out Mercete Tess's name, I felt sorry for Mercertes for a long time after watching the apparitions in the central square last night, she was a wonderful and wonderful woman, she should not have such a tragic fate, I should have plucked up the courage to ask for an autograph! The male employee looked annoyed.

Puran put away the illustrations, stood up and said with a smile: "Ask the rest of the group to go to the printing house with me, now Mr. Adrian is a hot big man in the kingdom, and taking advantage of the craze set off by the release of the phantom of "The Count of Monte Cristo", we must prepare well for the promotion and publication of the "Dark Age" novel." ”

Holding Shirley's sketches, Puran's expression is quite complicated, with excitement and confusion about the future, and the survival of his publishing house depends on it.
