Chapter 354: Ambition
Morgan opened the envelope handed by Mrs. Nishizawa and took out the script as thick as two copies of "A Brief History of Fallosi."
At the beginning of the script, there was a brief narrative of the overall story, and Morgan flipped through the pages that were only two pages, and after reading the brief narrative, he roughly understood what kind of story it was.
After reading the brief description, he handed it to the playwright sitting next to Morgan to read, and Morgan alone began to read the detailed content of the script.
"He is a 'film' director." Morgan sighed after spending nearly an hour reading the entire screenplay, including the concept art.
"Master Morgan, we recognize that this script called 'Avatar' is an excellent story, but we still decided to use your 'Eye Picker' as the script."
The other playwrights also read the brief description of the film's script, but they still came to the same conclusion.
"Really? Thank you for choosing my Eye Picker to turn my script into a movie, which is definitely an honor that I will remember for the rest of my life. Morgan stood up and nodded to everyone like an actor who had just finished a perfect show.
The playwrights in the room thought Morgan had accepted the offer and began to applaud.
But after the applause was over, Morgan made another announcement with a smile on his face.
"But I decided to give that glory to Avatar," Morgan said.
Hearing Morgan's words, these playwrights once again felt what it was like to be messy in the wind and rain, and everyone seemed to have a 'meow meow?? 'This kind of symbol.
"Why... Master Morgan's "Avatar" is a script that is far inferior to your "Eye Picker" in terms of concept and depth," one of the playwrights seemed to be a little overwhelmed.
"I don't belittle my masterpiece, The Eye Picker, and when I wrote it, the god of art was like holding my hand, but did you overlook something?"
Morgan's gaze scanned all the playwrights present, as well as the Black Swan Troupe and Mrs. Nishizawa standing on the stage.
"Master Morgan, do you mean... Why did we make the film? Mrs. Nishizawa quickly understood what he meant.
"Lady Nishizawa, you've been to Nolan, so you must feel the same way as me." Morgan stepped out of the audience and came to the front of everyone as if to begin a speech.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I have spent thirty years performing in countries around the world, but not all countries are like us in Falosi... Treat art as a treasure. ”
Morgan pulled back his sleeve, revealing a long scar on his blackened arm.
"This is something I left over from when I performed in the Iron Country, as you know, the people of the Iron Country never liked the stage play from Falosi, in their mouth it was 'child's nonsense', I didn't like my beloved performing arts to be belittled by anyone, so when I performed in the Iron Country, although it was only in the open air, I was still ridiculed by many people, and I couldn't control my temper a lot when I was young."
Morgan said this, with a slightly bitter smile on his face.
"If it weren't for a good Samaritan, maybe I would have been a dry bone buried in an unnamed cemetery."
The whole theater fell silent again, they did not expect that the great Master Morgan would have such a humiliating experience in his youth.
But... This is not a humiliating thing for all the Falosis artists present, and even for all the Fallosis present.
"It's the barbarians who can't appreciate art!"
Morgan's story seemed to poke at the pain of a playwright, and his voice sounded like an accusation, but in the end he sat down a little weakly.
"Yes, although we Falosis love the performing arts, as well as paintings and songs, not all people in the world can accept this art, are they all barbarians? No...... Admit the reality, they just can't understand it, or ...... be more precise," Morgan paused and poked the wound in the hearts of everyone present with another sentence, "They just think that the 'stage play' is not good, and in their opinion, it is just a group of people standing on the stage and reading lines that they don't know what to say." ”
The more the Phalosi of social status saw this more clearly and thoroughly, when they were in diplomacy with visitors from other countries, especially the Land of Steel and the Land of Frost.
Especially in the Iron Country, there are many people in this country who look down on the performance of 'stage plays' from the bottom of their hearts, and the people of the Iron Country generally think that stage plays are boring.
"So you want to change, especially Mr. Ahom, you've always tried to write a script that is popular all over the world, but unfortunately there is still no response abroad, and the advent of cinema has given you an opportunity, a new form of performance." Morgan said.
"But Master Morgan, if your "Eye Picker" is made into a movie, it will definitely be famous all over the world." It was said.
"Maybe, maybe not, the premise that you want to be accepted by everyone in the world is to first reduce cinema from the level of 'art' to 'objects of pleasure'."
Morgan's words made the playwrights fall into deep thought, and when they looked up again, they saw the script of "Avatar" in Morgan's hand.
"As you said, the connotation and deep meaning of this script called "Avatar" are very simple, but compared to my work that is difficult for young people to understand, the script of "Avatar" is more interesting, no...... It should be said that it is very interesting! In the words of Qiao Xiu, the film director at the end of the script, "Avatar" may be one of the most popular 'commodities' in the movies he has made. ”
"But Master Morgan, the author of this play... Not the Fallos. ”
"It's enough that the actors are us Falosis." Morgan said.
The playwrights in the audience seemed to be moved by Morgan's speech, and finally affirmed Morgan's statement by the playwright named Ahom, Mrs. Nishizawa's mentor.
"Maybe we can give it a try."
This time the discussion ended in this format, and the playwrights left the theater in twos and threes, but Morgan chose to stay.
"Mrs. Nishizawa, we shouldn't have a choice, right?" Morgan said suddenly.
"Master Morgan, what do you mean by that?"
"Josieu Arnorod mastered the art of filmmaking, and he handed us the script only for the sake of the friendly relationship in the past, without Falosi...... He was still able to make this great film. ”
Morgan's words made Mrs. Nishizawa silent for a moment, she did not hide her heart, and her unwilling expression was written on her face, but in the end she could only choose to nod.
"Actually, I was very unwilling at first, why is the person who invented the movie a demon from the demon world, and he can still make so many excellent movies, but it is useless to be unwilling, but I don't want Falosi to lag behind any country in the performance of drama, and Josieu Arnorod's ambition this time is far greater than before." Morgan paused, flipped through the script in his hand, and said, "This movie is not just going to be released in Nolan and Fallosi, but... The whole world, and the events reflected in the story of the movie will make the evil deeds of the Holy Cult Country and the Frost Country known to the world. ”
