Chapter Seventy-Nine: Creative Stage Plays
In the conference room on the second floor of the Wujiuju Hotel, Luo Feng gathered all the team members.
He first introduced the newly released chief special effects artist Mr. "Cameron" to them, and then told them about the plan to establish an art team to engage in artistic creation.
"What are we doing with art?" Zhang Daniu scratched his head and asked, "Shouldn't we take risks after selling Io and having the money to buy equipment?" ”
"Who said that when you get to the Faren Continent, you must go on an adventure?"
Luo Feng said: "The strength of our team is so poor, even if we have equipment, it is difficult to mix on the Faren Continent, in case one accidentally encounters an enemy that cannot be provoked, the group will be wiped out only overnight." Our investigative mission is to explore the map and farm reputation, and it is entirely possible to travel as an artist and gain prestige through wonderful performances, no matter what era, artists are always famous. ”
Zhang Daniu nodded thoughtfully, he looked at Kara, who was sitting next to him, under the pseudonym "Cameron", and asked, "Captain, are we going to make a movie?" ”
"Making a movie?"
Luo Feng shook his head: "Let's talk about it in the future, don't think about it now." ”
Tang Xiaotian had a big brain at this time and felt that making a movie was a good idea.
The cultural and entertainment level of the residents of the Feilun Continent is so low, and the boring and pretentious stage plays of the Imprint City Theater Troupe dare to sell a ticket at a high price of hardware coins, and remake the classic movies in the real world and take them to the Feilun Continent for release, one ticket of hardware coins, wouldn't the box office easily sell tens of millions of gold coins?
Technically speaking, it doesn't seem difficult to implement, a stable light source can be used in magic "illumination", and the gnomes have also developed lens technology, such as Yao Sen's goggles, which are made by hand-polishing crystals.
The technology of making acid in the Faeron continent is quite good, and most of the alchemists' bombs use nitric acid to process explosives, and the acid solution is the technical precursor of the developer.
As for film, alchemy creations can be used, and even if the alchemist can't develop them, they can be replaced by the transparent skin of the slime monster.
If you can't do it, you can peel off the skin of the shapeshifter, which can be changed into any form, and after tanning, it becomes a transparent and tough film. Tang Xiaotian remembered that it seemed that a certain chamber of commerce in Baldur's Gate City was now occupied by shapeshifters, and the material reserves were very abundant.
As long as you find a high-level dwarf engineer and develop it a little, the camera and projector can be born.
She didn't understand why the captain was not optimistic about this idea, so she simply asked directly: "Captain, I think it's good to make a movie, it's technically completely achievable, even if the ticket price is set as a hardware coin, after the whole Faren is released in one round, the audience is at least million, and the box office is likely to be tens of millions, won't we make a profit?" ”
"It's a good idea, indeed." Luo Feng said: "But it can't be achieved in the short term. ”
He took Io's ball on the table and shook it: "We want to develop cameras and projectors, but now Io has only one ball left, and our scientific and technological talents can only provide technical guidance, and the specific operation needs to be done by others, and the research and development cycle is prolonged." In addition, there is no theater and a screen in the whole of Faerun, and the establishment of distribution channels and theaters is also a big project, and counting the shooting cycle, I don't think it will be possible to release the first movie in the small area of Amm for three or five years. ”
"Oh...... That's right. ”
Tang Xiaotian thought about it, and felt that it was not easy to achieve, so he didn't talk anymore.
"Building an industry from scratch takes too much time and energy, and requires a lot of manpower and material resources. Unless we are now extremely rich or powerful, we can make some achievements in a short period of time, and with the current situation of our team, it is too difficult to start a film industry from scratch. ”
Luo Feng concluded: "Therefore, making movies can be slowly prepared as a long-term goal, and in the short term, we still need to accumulate funds by transforming the original cultural and entertainment industry of Feilun, and accumulate prestige by the way." ”
Klein had changed back into men's clothes, and the experience of dressing up as Clythia seemed to have boosted his self-confidence, and he rarely joined the discussion: "Captain, you mean, we also perform stage plays like the Imprint City Theater Company?" ”
Luo Feng nodded and said: "That's right, the first step we have to do is to perform a stage play on the day of the auction, and show the background story of 'Io, the one who looks at the lover from afar, the immortal person for ten thousand years' to those noblewomen and noblewomen." ”
Tang Xiaotian asked puzzledly: "Why do you still have to perform stage plays at the auction?" ”
"It's a normal marketing ploy."
Luo Feng glanced at her, and said angrily: "Now the shopping mall has to invite a singer to sing a song on the platform for a promotion, and no matter how bad it is, please ask the two of them to turn actors to enliven and enliven the atmosphere. ”
"We are obviously auctioning, and there is only one item in total, and it is not a discount...... What kind of popularity? Tang Xiaotian muttered unconvinced.
"Mess with you every day, sooner or later I will be angry with you one day! Don't you hear that I'm sarcastic? ”
Luo Feng said angrily: "You can't use your brain, female consumption is a kind of emotional consumption, as long as the emotions are mobilized, those noble ladies and nobles have lost their minds, and they dare to pay any high price." How can it compare to the effect of a stage play just by relying on dry words or language expressions to mobilize women's emotions and move them? Back then, a little soldier watched the drama "The White-Haired Girl", and when he watched it, he cried bitterly and pulled out a gun to kill the actor who played Huang Shiren, this is the power of stage plays to mobilize emotions! ”
Tang Xiaotian was scolded so much that he was speechless, and this time he was completely wilted.
"But ......" Klein took over and questioned, "How can we say that we are also amateurs, and the performance level may not be higher than the level of the actors of the Imprint City Theater Company, if the performance is more clumsy, I am afraid it will have the opposite effect." ”
Luo Feng smiled at him and nodded appreciatively: "The same team member, there are naturally stupid people who are smart, this is the correct way to ask questions." ”
Tang Xiaotian was very envious of Klein in his heart, how much he hoped that he would be praised.
She actively spoke and participated in the discussion, but she had the idea of attracting the captain's attention and making one or two good suggestions to change the captain's opinion of her, but the more she spoke, the more she was scolded, and Klein became the captain's sweetheart.
"That's right, the first time you perform on stage, it is estimated that except for me, your acting skills are very clumsy, if you don't think of a way, you will definitely smash this scene."
Luo Feng pointed to Kara, who had been in a daze because he couldn't understand what they were saying: "That's why I recruited a special effects artist, as the so-called 'acting skills are not enough, special effects come together', this is the truth of the film and television industry that cannot be broken in the real world, I am the only actor, screenwriter and director of this stage play, plus the assistance of special effects artist Kara, this scene can be played." You can just watch and learn from the sidelines, and I'll give you an acting lesson. ”
"How do you play it yourself?" Tang Xiaotian asked: "There are at least four main characters in the background story: Io, Io's lover, and the two goddesses, right?" ”
"I'm going to adapt Io's backstory to make it more in line with the historical background and humanistic spirit of Askatla, and there may be more characters in the adapted story, but don't worry." Luo Feng explained.
"Carla is an excellent illusionist, although he can no longer create a very real illusion space like a circus fantasy, he can use "illumination" as a light source and the principle of lens refraction to magnify and project the light and shadow images created by the zero-level trick onto a white curtain like a slideshow, and he can also create naked-eye 3D animation-like illusion characters to perform on stage. ”
Several team members listened carefully to Luo Feng's explanation, and they seemed to have grasped the most critical part of Luo Feng's entire plan.
"Have you ever seen the kind of technologically creative stage performance method of 'projector-assisted live performance' in the real world?" Luo Feng said: "I remember that there were similar performances in 'America's Got Talent', which was unanimously recognized by the judges and the audience, and there was a standing ovation. ”
Looking at several team members who showed expressions of sudden realization, Luo Feng smiled proudly: "The projector has played well, and the light and shadow effects created are full of three-dimensionality, and the visual effects are excellent." It's a way of performing that appeals to a very discerning modern audience in the real world. Let's talk about it, I will perform this kind of 'illusion creative stage play' on the stage of the Faren continent, will the audience of Faren who are used to seeing shoddy dramas, rough sets, contrived acting, and boring plots buy it? ”
