Chapter 108: Group Performance
"If it's all right, the full members will be heading to Teide Prison next Wednesday, so please get ready as soon as possible. Because it was filmed in a real prison environment, and the most vicious prisoners in the kingdom are still being held inside, please pay attention to your words and deeds when you get there, and don't cause unnecessary trouble. ”
"This time, it was the Count of Henrietta who personally guaranteed that we were able to borrow the prison space, and if there is a problem, it is not only the problem of the theater troupe, but also the progress of filming, please keep in mind."
"I will make a statement tomorrow on the specific restrictions, and this meeting will end here, and all the staff will be disbanded."
In the evening, as the setting sun shone over the courtyard adorned with wedding props, Harvey announced to everyone that they were dressed formally in the style of the Augustinian kingdom by wearing a black suit for the groom. The plot was filmed to the time when the Count of Monte Cristo got married, and then the Count of Monte Cristo was snitched and arrested and imprisoned at the best time of his life.
The filming is getting smoother and smoother, mainly reflected in the actors, with Harvey leading by example and after a lot of time practicing, the members of the drama troupe are used to how to play a "phantom" role, and the number of times to stop because of lame performances during filming is getting less and less, and many plots can be passed directly over and over again.
Jared walked up to the high platform used for the wedding and clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention: "Extras, please come here to get a boxed lunch and 20 balun pounds for the performance, and the dress can be changed back to the room just now." ”
The "guests" of the wedding responded enthusiastically.
"Is this the end?"
"Oh, if you need me in the future, please contact me, this is my address."
"Sir, can I take this food with me? My sister at home hasn't eaten that good red cherry blossom yet, and she will be very happy. A little boy came over with two red fruits and pulled Harvey's clothes, he was also clever enough to know who was the real steward here.
If you don't "perform in groups", you can't figure out why there are such good things in the world, you can participate in a wedding party for nothing, you only need to behave as usual, you can eat and drink as much as you normally want, and you can wear beautiful clothes, and finally you can get a salary equivalent to an ordinary civilian for a week or even a few weeks. If it weren't for the fact that the recruitment was held in public at the largest theater in the city of Elroy, passers-by would probably think that there was some kind of conspiracy involved, such as sending the recruits to the black workshops or sending them to mining, which is not uncommon in this era.
Harvey squatted down and smiled and said, "Of course, naughty little guy, in view of your very good performance just now, we can't finish the food on the spot, and whoever wants to eat it can take it home." ”
A smile suddenly bloomed on the little boy's face, and he just wanted to turn away and come back to bow to Harvey in thanks: "Thank you very much, kind sir." ”
The group performers were in a commotion and hurriedly looked for some containers that could hold food.
These foods are not good for someone of Harvey's status, but the average civilian does not know if he has a chance to eat them once a year.
After the meeting, Harvey and Kenneth continued to study the illusion crystal, the research on the illusion crystal did not reach the level of complete innovation, and did not see their own improvement as a revolution in the magic technology of this world, the photographic crystal was originally based on the mechanism and principle of the illusion crystal to integrate and improve.
This is like the relationship between a bow and a crossbow, using the same principle, the structure of the bow is simple, and the average person must go through a long time of practice if he wants to use a good bow. The crossbow has a complex structure but is much easier to operate, and ordinary people without training can immediately get started and exert its power, if the design of the crossbow is deduced to the extreme, the power may not be weaker than that of modern firearms.
Kenneth is a more traditional spellcaster, quite accomplished in illusion but far from Harvey's vision, he doesn't feel anything wrong, and humbly asks Harvey for advice every time he encounters a problem. He knew very well that this was not because of his limited personal ability, but that Harvey's existence was too strange, and if it weren't for witnessing Harvey's growth and his age, Kenneth would have almost thought that Harvey was the superior and even higher caster.
After studying the photographic crystal with Harvey for a period of time, Kenneth was able to modify the special effects of the picture, but it took longer than Harvey, and the quality was worse, and Harvey needed to make a second revision, which saved a lot of time compared to Harvey's need to undertake all the work alone, and it was two workloads to be responsible for all the special effects and secondary modifications.
In addition, Kenneth's lifelong dream, the unicorn illusion, was made under Harvey's direction, but Kenneth just put it away silently with a complicated mind, and he had no intention of taking it out to perform a magic show.
The work at hand is more promising and more ornamental, and a gorgeous magic show of illusion cannot compare to the "phantoms" that are both substantive and ornamental, especially the "phantoms" adapted from "The Count of Monte Cristo".
······
At night, Harvey went back in the carriage, sitting in the carriage thinking about the shooting, when he suddenly heard a strange voice outside the window, he couldn't help but look curiously, and he was startled when he saw it, he saw something very familiar.
A car with lights on slowly drove by.
The structure of the car is very distinctive, retaining the old style of this era, the body is black, the structure is similar to that of a horse-drawn carriage and there is no obstruction, the rectangular structure of the front of the car is supposed to be the driving device, and the four wheels are not car tires, but more like a widened and thickened version of the bicycle tires.
"Times are changing, and the chimney at the front of the car is still steaming white, that is, it is driven by steam?" Harvey looked at the white steam coming out of the chimney at the front of the car in amazement, he didn't know much about the structure of the steam engine in this world, but as a part of common sense, he also knew that the steam engine in this world and the steam engine on the earth were not on the same level, and the former was more "developed" to be precise.
Using modern magic technology, the world's steam engine is very powerful, more powerful than modern internal combustion engines, and can easily provide powerful power for a steam train.
This world of technology and culture is not a backwater, and Harvey's films are part of the trend of the times, but Harvey is just walking in front of everyone.
"After filming the movie, do you want to entrust the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce to buy one for yourself, it is not difficult to have an alchemy workshop to analyze the automobile mechanism, and maybe you can make a sports car that is ahead of the times. Wait~ Sports car~ Even if you make it, you can't run, except for the downtown part of Elroy City, the roads in other urban areas are bumpy like swings, and Hummers and the like are better. ”
The emergence of the car indicates what Harvey is very clear, as the basic means of transportation for future generations, the future of the industry can be described as infinitely bright.
