Chapter 102 Patents
Just in time, Harvey showed Deven a revised shot of The Count of Monte Cristo.
Although Harvey plays the Count of Monte Cristo, because the makeup in the film is only eight points similar to that outside the movie, Devin learned about it through others before Harvey came to the drama theater, and is not surprised that Harvey plays the Count of Monte Cristo, he focuses more on the effect of the picture.
The realism of the picture and the stereo sound that seemed to be right next to them startled him, and his eyes were more cautious and burning, and the picture effect met his expectations, exceeding his expectations.
He knew that he had made the right decision to come to Elroy City in person this time.
The others left the room, leaving Count Devon Henrietta, Harvey, the theatre representative Jared, the theatre representative Maxwell, and the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce representative William to negotiate with Divin as an investor, who could pay all the costs of filming The Count of Monte Cristo and promise to help expand the theatre in exchange for a 20 percent stake.
No one has an opinion, the identity of an earl has a great impact, as long as he comes forward, he can solve most of the problems encountered in filming, including going to the island prison at sea to film the plot of the Count of Monte Cristo's imprisonment, after the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce and Jared personally went to apply for the right to use the prison, but were rejected by the nobles for formulaic reasons.
Harvey owns 30% of the shares of the theater, because of the promise to Diana to give her 5%, Jared was originally the owner of the theater, and has 30% of the shares like Harvey, and the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce owns 5%, and there is no problem with the distribution of benefits for the time being.
In fact, Harvey doesn't care much about interests, the technology of photography is in his hands, and after shooting, he can go to the capital Norton to apply for a patent. He cares more about the impact of The Count of Monte Cristo and cinematography, and the greater the impact, the more rewards he can receive, and Harvey has experienced first-hand the power of the Mage's Tower, and the more interested he is in the various facilities.
Money was a resource for him to study spells and experiments, and the Kingdom of Barron did not have enough market to absorb his wealth.
After the others came out of the conference room, a theater staff member looked at the soldiers guarding the door of the conference room and whispered excitedly: "Is that really the legendary Earl Devon Henrietta, the one from Norton?" ”
Diana folded her hands and explained calmly: "I have heard his name, Count Devon Henrietta is the representative of the emerging aristocracy of Norton, the vice president of his literary association and one of the representatives of the business association, I heard that he invested in industries all over the country, built the rose manor known as a luxurious palace, and because he was born in a traditional aristocratic family, he is quite influential among the traditional aristocracy and the emerging aristocracy. ”
Christie, who was still a flower girl, said with a light in her eyes: "Then what is the relationship between him and Mr. Adrian?" Coming to the city of Elroy in person is really related to the filming of "The Count of Monte Cristo", it always feels like we are doing a great thing, and such big people are here in person. ”
Diana glanced at her: "It's not surprising, Harvey is the author of "The Count of Monte Cristo", and it was the Literary Society that came forward to help "The Count of Monte Cristo" be published nationally. ”
Diana saw Shirley next to her with a worried look on her face and whispered, "Shirley, just behave as usual, worrying too much may bring trouble, and it's not time for you to play." ”
"The lord has also said this, but I am a little afraid that I will live up to the lord's expectations." Shirley smiled softly back.
"No, Harvey has a good eye."

Soon, the news of an earl's arrival in the theater spread throughout the city of Elroy, and the social circles who are good at chasing after the wind are already speculating about the earl's purpose and the relationship between the theater and Harvey.
Within a few days, the approval for the transformation of the theater into a joint-stock system came down, and the previous procrastination was changed, and the person who came to the door was the head of the department, the top person in charge of the Barron Bank in the city of Elroy. At the same time, the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce's application for land for the filming of "The Count of Monte Cristo" was responded to at the same time, and by the way, the business cooperation between the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce itself became more frequent and smooth.
These are the influences of a well-known count in the social world.
The actions of the Count of Devon Henrietta also attracted the attention of Harvey's acquaintances, who had kept a low profile after the publication of the novel The Count of Monte Cristo, and they did not expect to suddenly let the Count of Douven Henrietta visit in person. Harvey's reviewer Poolan, the jeweler Avery, and the scholar Scott all asked what was going on, and Harvey simply explained that only the jeweler Avery was qualified to intervene among the three of them.
Scott and Puran don't feel sorry, the Count of Monte Cristo novel makes enough money for them to live without worry for the rest of their lives.
Avery, a jeweler who was not stupid, decided to invest a large amount of money at the moment, asking for only a 5% stake in the theater.
Harvey did not refuse, on the one hand, the filming of "The Count of Monte Cristo" needed a lot of money, and on the other hand, the drama theater was also in dire need of funds to expand, and the addition of Count Devon Henrietta confirmed that a new theater of their own would be established in the capital Norton.
······
Harvey, with the help of Count Devon Henrietta, applied for a patent early on the royal mage of the Kingdom of Barron, which has two major spellcaster forces, the first is the royal caster who serves the Kingdom of Baron, and the second is the caster who belongs to the Magic Association, and the two are not in conflict and belong to each other.
In the palace dedicated to the royal casters, several royal casters were gathered in the exhibition hall to examine the patent application, and various samples were displayed on the projection screen. Divin had sent them a letter earlier, and this time the patent for photographic technology was taken very seriously.
"I see, it's really an innovative and practical technology."
After watching the function display of the photographic crystal, an old man with a pale face bowed his head slightly, wearing a gray-white robe, and his body was rickety, his name was Dupont Arnold, one of the few high-ranking spellcasters in the Barron Kingdom, and he was also a royal mage advisor in the Barron Kingdom. It's not all about Harvey, the founder of the Adrian family is the previous royal mage advisor.
Another royal mage nodded and praised: "I also think that this technology is very promising, with wide practicality, and the clarity of the photographic picture is very good, I can't imagine that there are such good spellcasters in the kingdom besides Norton." ”
"I'm going to prepare the patent certificate and provide a patent application to the Magic Society now."
"Amazing invention! This is very useful for recording information, and I can use this thing called a photographic crystal to record the process when I conduct experiments in the future, and I really hope that it will be put into production sooner. ”
"By the way, you can't let the people from the Magic Guild preemptively send an invitation to Harvey Adrian before they issue a patent application, and make sure to invite him to join us as a royal mage."
There are generally two patents on magic, one for the casters of the royal family to ensure domestic interests, and the other for the Magical Association to ensure the patent rights of such techniques among casters around the world.
With the patent granted, Harvey was able to publish a paper on the principles of making photographic crystals without worrying about the massive theft of his technology.
