The meeting was held at the Drama Theatre, and Harvey was ready to take the camera crystal with him.

As soon as he got out of the carriage, he saw Maxwell, the owner of the Brenda Theater Company, and Kenneth and Jared, the middle casters, all standing at the door of the theater waiting, Harvey walked over and shook Maxwell's hand and greeted him with a smile: "Long time no see, Mr. Brenda." ”

Maxwell smiled warmly, "It's an honor to see you again, Mr. Adrian." ”

Kenneth nodded to Harvey as a greeting, still wearing a robe that didn't fit the style of the theater.

The way to greet Jared was changed to a hug, and the four of them entered the theater and came to a luxurious box. The box was much more upscale than the last time Harvey watched "Eva's Secret" here, with a rectangular table carefully cleaned by the maid, white tablecloths filled with all kinds of exquisite tableware, and even a small pool for ornamentation.

After sitting down, coughing, Harvey got straight to the point and said: "This appointment with Mr. Brenda is actually that I want to work with the Brenda Theatre Company, which is one of the top theatre companies in the kingdom, and I was amazed by the performances of the actors after watching "Eva's Secret" last time. You have a wealth of experience, great actors, and the assistance of a good spellcaster like Mr. Randolph, and I couldn't find a better option to work with in the Kingdom. ”

Really!

Jared and Maxwell were surprised and at the same time felt a natural surprise, Maxwell immediately looked at Harvey with burning eyes and asked excitedly: "It's a great honor to receive your compliment, Mr. Adrian, do you want to adapt "The Count of Monte Cristo" into a play?" I've read this novel of yours, and it can be a great work both from a literary point of view and at the level of a theatrical performance. ”

Harvey nodded and shook his head: "I do intend to adapt The Count of Monte Cristo into a play, but in a different way than you imagined. ”

"What do you mean?" Jared looked at Harvey suspiciously.

Harvey looked at Kenneth and said slowly, "I have visited Mr. Randolph many times, you are an excellent spellcaster, and I have learned a lot from Mr. Randolph. Before I was the author of The Count of Monte Cristo, I was a spellcaster, and with the help of Mr. Randolph, I recently completed a study on illusion crystals. ”

Randolph looked at the wooden box that Harvey had placed on the table, his rickety body straightened up unnaturally, and his wrinkled face was a little surprised: "Mr. Adrian, have you done your research on your conjecture?" ”

"Yes."

"Harvey, don't sell it, what is it that has something to do with this wooden box you brought?" Jared pressed eagerly, he was not surprised by Harvey's identity as a spellcaster, Harvey had previously boasted that the founder of House Adrian was once a spellcaster in the capital Norton, and in fact he had confirmed the news from his own father.

Harvey waved his hand to show that there was no need to rush, looked at Maxwell and asked, "Mr. Brenda, what do you think drama is?" ”

Maxwell didn't understand why Harvey asked this question, thought for a moment and said: "There is a saying that drama originates from the joy of people celebrating the harvest, which is the source of drama and the core of it. If the script is a historical legend, the drama is a celebration of heroic poetry, and the drama has no fixed form, but expresses people's nostalgia for the past, cognition of the present and longing for the future. ”

Harvey was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Mr. Brenda, your answer is much more profound than I imagined, of course, this answer is very good. Indeed, drama is a means of telling a story, as Mr. Brenda said, and the meaning of expression depends on the script, but I have only had one doubt from the past, that drama is only a performance after all, and that it is only a different role on the stage, and it is not a secret that in my eyes the drama is too dull, and no matter how good the performance is, it is too pompous. ”

Maxwell, as the owner of the theater troupe, naturally did not agree with Harvey's words, and because of Harvey's identity, it was difficult to refute any heavy words, so he asked slowly: "What do you mean?" ”

Harvey smiled apologetically at him: "Mr. Brenda, I'm sorry to offend you, but I won't change my opinion, drama is always for others to see, no matter how wonderful the plot is, it is only performed on the stage, and what I want to do is to liberate this, the actors are no longer playing a certain role, let them be that role." ”

Maxwell and Jared looked at each other, stunned by Harvey's words.

Randolph remembered what Harvey had said, and looked at the wooden box on the table with even more surprise.

Seeing that the confusion was almost over, Harvey came to the dining table and pulled out the white tablecloth directly, fixed the knife to the wall, and then fixed the corners of the white cloth. Under their puzzled gaze, the curtains were closed again, the lights were turned off, and the luxurious private room became dark.

"Harvey, what are you doing here?"

Harvey mysteriously explained: "My dear friend, are you ready to witness the arrival of a new era of theater? ”

"I don't understand you... Yes? ”

"Click."

Harvey pressed the projection function of the photographic crystal, and the clear image was projected onto the white cloth, and at the same time, the noise of the busy street could only be heard from the wooden box.

Randolph suddenly stood up excitedly: "This is..."

The sudden appearance of the projection startled the three of them, and their eyes were drawn to the clear and strange scene of the tablecloth, which was a sample of the intersection photograph that Harvey recorded yesterday. There are stereoscopic projections in this world, and of course there are similar films, but the quality of the picture projected by the photographic crystal is very different, and the sound can be heard, and the difference between the period is the same as that of a black-and-white silent film and a Hollywood special effects blockbuster.

How would someone who had never even been exposed to black-and-white silent films react to a Hollywood special effects blockbuster for the first time?

Jared looked at the projection on the white tablecloth in surprise, he didn't know what it portended, he was just surprised at how delicate the projection picture was.

Maxwell, the owner of the drama theater, was simply amazed by these pictures at first, and then thought of Harvey's words just now, and his eyes became more and more fanatical as he watched the picture presentation! The dailies perfectly record every scene, and if used to document the drama, the drama will no longer be limited to the stage!

Kenneth, the middle caster, had a complicated gaze, looking at Harvey's eyes with admiration and a sense of disappointment, disappointed in himself, he knew what this portended when he saw the demo of the dailies, and this would be a storm of change in the use of illusion crystals! But he used to think that what Harvey did was very chicken, and the picture presentation effect in front of him was much better than projection.

The quality of the projection technique and the quality of the illusion crystal are related to the caster himself, and it is impossible to record a large scene, but the sample film displayed in front of him at this time is enough to perfectly record the entire street, and all kinds of details are clearly visible, you can see the lively crowd, the damage of the building, and the structure of the carriage. He wondered if the images were coherent or made up of pauses, remembering what Harvey had shown him earlier called the "Magic Disk".
