Chapter 524: Argument
Morgan followed Josiu back to the White Vitex Theater, which was still as lively as the last time he 'worked' here.
The long queues at the entrance of the theater were not as hot as when new films were released, but such queues were rare in Falosi's theaters.
"Mr. Jossiu, those... What is it? ”
Morgan noticed that in addition to the ticket counter, there was a special counter selling some strange things.
Underneath the counter is a transparent glass container, in which a large number of white... Food.
"The product of sweet jade after heating at high temperatures, and drizzling some caramel will turn into a very delicious snack, but here it is better to describe it as a snack."
Qiao Xiu walked over to the counter and motioned for the waiter behind him to take one and handed it to Morgan.
"I only introduced this food in theaters two months ago, and it's normal that you don't know, Master Morgan." Qiao Xiu said.
"Dessert..."
Morgan took a small wooden barrel handed over by Jossiu, and the contents were like white snowflakes dripping with deep golden slime, giving off an appetizing aroma.
If Morgan's apprentice, Fimeth, were here, her furry ears and tail would have stood up to get a copy.
In fact, Caroli next to her had already run to the waiter at the counter, took out her small purse and bought one.
"I'm too old to cling to this food."
Morgan shook his head and returned it to Qiao Xiu, then looked at the entrance area of the White Thorn Flower Theater.
He noticed that many viewers walked into the viewing tunnel with what Jo Xiu called 'snacks' and some juices.
"In Falosi... Any audience member who eats on the way to a stage play will be seen as rude by the rest of the audience, and even more so, will be kicked out. Mrs. Nishizawa doesn't seem to like seeing the audience sitting in the audience with food: "It's a very disrespectful act for the actors of the stage play." ”
"But Mrs. Nishizawa, a movie is not something as elegant as a stage play."
Joshua handed the popcorn in his hand to Caroly, but the girl immediately shook her head after looking at her mother.
It is estimated that it is because Mrs. Nishizawa stipulates that Carolie cannot eat too many sweets, and the bucket of popcorn just now is already the limit.
"Tickets for the White Vitex Theatre are much cheaper than the stage plays in Falosi, and the moviegoers come here to relax and enjoy themselves." Qiao Xiu looked at Mrs. Nishizawa and said, "This is what I want to do with movies, not only for anyone to enjoy, but also for the arts." ”
"It's more about entertainment than art." Morgan quickly understood what Josiu meant: "That's the advantage of movies, for example, after a hard job, I can sit in the audience and drink juice and watch those shocking battles in Avatar, just thinking about it is a pleasant thing." ”
"But the next film I want to make is one that allows the audience to sit quietly and enjoy it, which is simply what you mean by art."
Qiao Xiu took Mrs. Nishizawa and walked straight to the study of the White Vitex Theater, which was originally where Sir White Vitex worked.
Since Qiao Xiu became the real owner of the White Vitex Theater, the owner here has also become Qiao Xiu.
After Qiao Xiu used the inscription to remove the seal on the desk drawer, he took out the heavy movie script and handed it to Morgan.
"The Shawshank Redemption." Morgan read out the name of the script and flipped to the first page.
He spent nearly half an hour studying the entire script, and even took out his glasses and put them on on the way, hoping to see it more clearly.
"I felt a kind of power."
Morgan looked up and muttered to himself after reading it.
"A force that has been pushed backwards, Mr. Qiao Xiu, the theme that this script wants to express must be hopeful, right?"
Joe was about to open his mouth to answer Morgan's question, but Mrs. Nishizawa, who was next to her, suddenly intervened in the conversation.
"Master Morgan, I think the theme of this script is definitely freedom..."
Mrs. Nishizawa's voice changed from her previous reverence to a kind of toughness that she only used when conducting the rehearsals of the Black Swan Troupe.
"I don't deny what you say, Mrs. Nishizawa, but I think what the script itself wants to express is hope."
Morgan had a smile on his face, but there was something in his voice that could not be refuted.
"The theme of freedom can be ...... from the actor Andy"
Mrs. Nishizawa did not seem to be prepared to compromise with Morgan, so the two of them from the top of Falosi's show business began a debate about the differences of opinion over the script.
Qiao Xiu wisely chose to go to the corner and watch the discussion between the two of them with Caroli, and rubbed a few popcorn in Caroli's hand by the way.
"Here we go again." Caroli whispered to Qiao Xiu.
"How often did your mother do that?"
Qiao Xiu didn't expect Mrs. Nishizawa to be unable to control her emotions like this, and this sociable duchess should clearly know that she should not hurt her friendship with some important people for the sake of this 'little thing'.
"My mother would be very serious about the script, and three years ago my mother had a fight with another playwright over the stage play of 'The Eye-Picker.'" Caroli whispered beside Qiao Xiu, "What is your new movie about?" Isn't the plot going to be complicated? ”
"It's not complicated, it's a very simple story."
Qiao Xiu quietly listened to the debate between Morgan and Mrs. Nishizawa, these two people who changed careers to become film critics can be said to be professional level.
"How much longer are they going to argue?" Qiao Xiu looked at Jia Luoli, who was almost finished eating the popcorn next to him, and also lowered his voice and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know." Caroli shook her head and said she couldn't do anything about it.
Eventually, after Mrs. Nishizawa and Morgan discuss various aspects of The Shawshank Redemption, they both end up looking at Jossiu.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, what do you think of this script?" Mrs. Nishizawa asked.
Really... Is it coming?
Joshua put down the popcorn he had taken from Caroli and said after organizing a few seconds of language.
"Does it matter?" With a somewhat stiff smile on his face, Qiao Xiu said: "The really interesting thing about a great book is that everyone who reads it has a different interpretation, and this movie is the same, every viewer has their own opinion of it. ”
Qiao Xiu is not good at film criticism and the like, but fortunately, this passage still succeeded in making Mrs. Nishizawa and Morgan reach a reconciliation.
