Harvey explained the function of the photographic crystal, because the world has similar magical imaging technology, and it is not difficult for them to understand.

The explanation of "phantom (movie)" is much more complicated, and the most important thing is to let them understand the difference between "phantom" and drama, "phantom" is a performance like drama, and "phantom" has no stage restrictions of drama, does not require actors to play on the spot, and has more room for operation.

Maxwell, the owner of the Brenda Theatre Company, deduces this with only a shallow knowledge of theatre, he can't imagine more possibilities, and he can't understand most of what Harvey explains, but he knows that the so-called cinematography alone is enough to subvert the meaning of the drama and achieve a completely different performance.

One of the important incomes of the Brenda Theatre Troupe is the sale of stereoscopic projections of recorded theatrical performances, which are usually stored in a magic crystal and sold to some prominent nobles or businessmen for collection, and secondly, there are also theaters that buy such illusion crystals and put them in the theater to project to attract customers. There are many theaters in the country, and there are only a few well-known touring theater troupes, and instead of hiring some half-baked theater troupes to perform, it is better to buy a more affordable illusion crystal projection to attract audiences.

The drama theater run by the Evan family will take turns to play projection crystals purchased from different well-known theater troupes when there are no theater troupes performing, and the visual effects are naturally not as good as live performances, because the price is low, and the time and frequency of the broadcast are arbitrary. Most civilians would choose to go to a projection rather than a real theater troupe.

If the photographic crystal can do this, there will be a lot of room for manoeuvre.

The picture of photographic crystal projection does not have a three-dimensional sense, but the corresponding clarity and sense of space are much larger, there is no illusion of three-dimensional projection, and the actual visual experience is half a pound or two with high-end stereoscopic projection.

"I don't need you to perform a play, and it's beyond the scope of a play, Phantom is making a real story. Edmund is the captain of the ship, then I have to provide him with a real sailboat, Edmund escapes by falling off a cliff, the actor has to jump off that cliff, Edmund finds the legendary treasure, then I have to shoot the picture of the rich country. When the sample was played, Harvey gushed about his understanding of "phantoms".

"It's not acting in the traditional sense, it's about making the actor the character he plays. It's not about telling a story, it's not about finishing a show, it's about throwing away all the flashy elements and blending into reality, we're creating a world! We can freely play with the scenes in the setting, set the fate of different characters, and the audience does not realize that they are watching a work when they watch "Phantom", but more feel that they are watching the experience of a real person, then the "Phantom" I define is more than half successful..."

·····

Maxwell listened to Harvey's explanation, and thought carefully that the photographic crystal could indeed accomplish this, but he wanted a crucial point, and asked in a solemn tone: "Mr. Adrian, I understand your hopes, but if you ask the actors to perform in real scenes, regardless of the actors' own requirements, can you really make those scenes perfectly?" Manpower and financial resources are indispensable, and the cost must be astronomical. ”

Harvey looked at Maxwell's eyes sharply and resolutely, "It's not that you need to worry, you're just a simple actor, you just need to know if you can play that role well." Filming the "Phantom" of The Count of Monte Cristo does require a lot of money, but high risk also means high reward, and once the photography is completed, a new form of drama that is more expressive than words and has a better sense of picture than projection can be imagined what kind of sensation it will cause in the kingdom. ”

The photographic crystal was developed by Harvey, and the investment was also paid by Harvey alone, and the Brenda Theater only needs to play the identity of a good actor.

Harvey sat up straight, and said in a solemn and slow tone: "We are pioneers, just like human beings used words to complete the first heroic poetry history, and the value in this is not simply money can be measured. ”

After listening to Harvey's words, everyone fell silent, and Harvey's description made their blood boil and they couldn't help but feel unreal.

The young aristocratic prince Jared spread his hands and smiled: "Harvey, although I still don't know what you want to do, it sounds very attractive, if there is anything that needs help, I and the theater are willing to do our best to help." ”

To put it lightly, he also knew that there was now an opportunity in front of him that could change the fate of him and even the Evan family, and he clenched his hands, this opportunity was definitely not to be missed.

The Brenda Theatre Company only acted as an actor, and from the moment Harvey took out the photographic crystal, Maxwell was happy to work with Harvey even if he didn't pay for it. Aside from the scenes, this is definitely a historical moment that can change the development of theater, and now Maxwell is at the center of this incident, and if other theater companies know about this news, they will want to cut their heads and try to get into it.

Once successful, the name of the Brenda Theatre Company will be etched in the history of theater development, and it will also bring them unprecedented popularity and fame.

Maxwell withdrew his thoughts from Harvey's blueprint for the future, stared at Harvey's tone and said categorically: "Mr. Adrian, we at the Brenda Theatre Company are more than happy to cooperate with you, and I will get the actors ready as soon as possible, and if you need to, they can even appear tomorrow." ”

Harvey expected this development, looked around the three of them and smiled: "It's good, but it's not that simple, I still need to adapt "The Count of Monte Cristo" into a screenplay, you also need to choose the actors who best fit the role, and you also need to screen the scenes." "Phantom" is not a play, the structure of the play is very simple, and it can be performed in a day with preparation, while "Phantom" takes at least several months to accumulate, and dozens or even hundreds of people work together. Since there are no objections, tomorrow I will bring a planner over to arrange all the preparations. ”

Next, with the help of Kenneth, the middle caster, Harvey explains to them all about the full functionality of the Photographic Crystal. In order for them to fully understand "illusions", they need to start with the most basic concept of photography, and the casters who are good at illusion basically have an understanding beyond ordinary people on the visual level, if they don't, then the illusionist will not be able to create illusions that can deceive the five senses.

Fully understanding the actual function of the photographic crystal, Maxwell somewhat understood what the "phantom" Harvey really wanted to shoot with the photographic crystal.

Unlike dramas, which require live performances, after the filming of "Phantom" is completed, it can be stored in other illusion crystals like stereoscopic projection and clearly projected onto a white cloth, without affecting the visual experience.

To say that the real "phantom (movie)" is actually even Harvey is a half-level, he is mostly learning and selling, through the impression of the movie in his previous life to say his own thoughts, people's visual experience is not simply clarity can be interpreted, Harvey made up his mind to take a good look at the knowledge of montage shooting techniques after going back, and there are many things that need to be improved in the photographic crystal.
