Chapter 527: A script destined to be a hit

Books are easier to borrow, so Downton has seen a lot, but not operas, which are noble arts in the eyes of the common people, and are entertainment that only the aristocracy is qualified to enjoy with money.

Downton lived so long, let alone entering the opera house, and he hadn't even seen much of the grass stage opera performed by a third-rate parade opera troupe, but this did not prevent him from creating.

In that dream, which has been coming back for as long as he can remember, Downton has been to a street called Broadway, where all kinds of operas are staged every day, and all of them are classics that have been proven over the centuries.

Downton sat down at the table, took out a stack of parchment, and wrote a word in the Golden Crown Tree Court pen, Cat, and began to fill in the contents.

This is the longest and most performed work on Broadway, and Downton believes it will impress Madeleine and satisfy her.

"Nice, great!"

Homer is a typical literary girl, looking at the plot, she can't help but exclaim, asking a few words from time to time, and giving suggestions for revision.

When it comes to literary accomplishment, Homer has completely exploded Downton's 100 streets, so in this kind of creation, Downton has also received the most direct teaching.

"It's done?" Madeleine, who was worried about not being able to eat lunch, was stunned when she saw Downton appear, and then became a little dissatisfied, "You won't fool me, will you?"

It is no wonder that Madeleine complains that playwrights are not easy to be, let alone conceive, even if they copy a copy, there is not enough time for a morning.

"Let's talk about it after seeing it!"

Downton handed the parchment over.

Looking at the gorgeous text, Madeleine's eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had drunk a cold soda on a dog day, she was refreshed, and couldn't help but admire, "It's actually a Demon Flame style." It's so beautiful. ”

Downton shrugged his shoulders.

Madeleine's literary literacy is good, her basic skills are solid, and when she gets the script, she first flips through it, and when she looks at the neat format, her mood is half better.

"The plot is good. Madeleine watched. Her face changed, one moment of surprise, one moment of frowning, so that her beautiful cheeks continued to deform, and she sighed and put back the parchment dejectedly.

"What's wrong? Not satisfied?"

Downton was surprised, his lips moved, but after all, he didn't complain, even "Cats" can't satisfy you. You're asking too much, aren't you?

"Don't get me wrong, the script is very good, no, it's very good, but the Toffees don't have the strength to perform at all. Madeleine smiled wryly, this opera needs more than 100 actors, but her opera troupe does not even have more than 50 cooks and coachmen in charge of logistics, so it is really powerless.

"It's my problem. Downton was stunned for a moment. Suddenly understood, and patted his head regretfully. I just thought about the classics, but I forgot whether the toffee was within my reach.

"Want another one?" asked Madeleine tentatively, as for the parchment in her hand, she was naturally clenched tightly, and such a good script could not flow out, and when her opera company expanded, she must perform it.

"Okay!" Downton didn't go blind this time. Begin to carefully ask Madeleine about everything about Toffee, making adjustments.

"The Lion King, makeup skills are not good, PASS!"

"Les Miserables, The Phantom of the Opera. It's a big scene, too many costumes needed, too luxurious, the Toffees can't afford it, PASS!"

""Tea ~ Flower Girl", tsk, the story of a prostitute ~ girl, does not seem to be in harmony with the mainstream market, PASS!"

Listening to Downton's muttering, writing and drawing on a piece of paper alone, Homer and Madeleine didn't dare to disturb him, for fear of disturbing their train of thought, but looking at the unfamiliar names, they became excited again.

"Are these all the scripts he wrote? Sounds like a good name. Madeleine looked at Downton in contemplation and thought he was very literary.

"How much more is this kid hiding from me?" wailed Homer, who knew Downton's character, and that once he took it out, it would be something good, "no, I must force him to tell me stories." ”

"Are there any 'weirdos' in your troupe, the ugly ones?" Downton gestured casually, "like an abomination." ”

"No!" Madeleine shook her head.

"It seems that "Notre Dame", which has a small cost and a small number of people, will not work. Downton scratched his hair irritably, staring out the porthole at the sea, his gaze wandering.

Madeleine poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of Downton, she had never done such a thing before, and today she made an exception, but willingly.

"Captain, aren't you eating lunch?"

A girl pushed open the hatch and walked in with a dinner plate, and when she saw the statue-like Downton, she couldn't help but be stunned, how could a female head who strongly rejected a man thousands of miles away let a man into the room?

"Be quiet!"

Madeleine made a gesture of silence.

A full hour passed, and Downton remained seated, not moving at all, and Madeleine was calm, but the girl could not do it, looking left and right.

"Chief, you see, his pen is the same as yours. ”

As if discovering a new world, the girl tugged at Madeleine's sleeve and whispered.

"Huh?" Madeleine glanced at the table, stunned, she had only paid attention to the script just now, and had not paid attention to the pen.

"There seem to be numbers on it!" the girl tried to get closer, but was pulled by Madeleine.

"Don't bother him. Madeleine looked at Downton, but she didn't expect that he had a lot of good things on him, and judging from her experience of traveling from south to north, the Golden Crown Court fountain pen should be genuine.

"If you can't think of it, forget it, write these out first. "Homer can't wait any longer, telepathy, it's not going to put Downton to sleep today.

"Ahh

Downton cried out in annoyance, his hands clutching his head, his hair all messed up.

"What is he stimulated by? like a savage orc!"

The girl was startled and hid behind the regiment commander.

"Orc, savage?" Downton was startled and glared back at the girl.

"What do you want to do? Captain is very powerful, beware of her breaking your fifth limb. The girl screamed fiercely.

"Savage orc, yes, beast!" Downton laughed, nodding the girl with his chin, "let her give me a maid for a month, and I'll write you a good script." ”

"Don't!" the girl was frightened. Pleaded with Madeleine that she had been picked up from the slums by the regimental commander, unlike those free men who could leave at will, and if the regimental commander made up his mind, he would be miserable.

"What do you think, he's joking with you again. ”

Madeleine slapped the girl in the face. With Downton's status, appearance, and strength, if he wants a woman, there are many noble ladies on this cruise ship who rush to give him a hug, how can he take a fancy to his female members.

"Really?" the girl was scared, these days, the maid still has the duty to sleep with her, and if the nobleman asks for it, there is no way to refuse.

"Tease you. But next time, I'm not allowed to say I'm an orc. Downton picked up a pen and wrote down the title, "Beauty and the Beast, the costumes and makeup required are all average, and the actors are not too many, which fully meets the requirements of your troupe." ”

"Well, let's briefly describe the story!"

Madeleine listened to Downton's narration and didn't feel anything, but when she heard that the third daughter was willing to accompany the beast to save her father's life. Nodding slightly, he waited until he learned that the beast was actually a prince who had been enchanted by a witch. I was completely moved.

"Not bad!"

Madeleine is satisfied, this script is very fresh, there must be a market.

"A classic fairy tale, can you be wrong, and it is also a drama between a beautiful girl and a prince in distress, and this kind of plot is very lethal to women. ”

Downton rolled his eyes. Toffee is a parade opera troupe, which sounds good, but in fact, it is the kind of third-rate grass stage team that is not qualified to perform in the opera troupe, walk the streets and alleys, and set up a stage to perform in every town.

The men went to work and made money. There is no leisure to watch the opera, so the rest are women, as long as you conquer them, you can make some money.

"Tell me about this!"

Madeleine also knows the weakness of the toffee, so this book is undoubtedly the most suitable, but she also covets the others, and puts her finger on "The Phantom of the Opera".

"You're pretty picky. ”

Downton smiled.

"I just think it's a good name. ”

"Not bad, this opera will definitely allow you to conquer those nobles. ”

Downton is not ashamed, but the Phantom of the Opera, whether it is the plot or the structure, will make the aristocracy have a strong sense of substitution, of course, the premise is that the actors must have superb acting skills.

"Bragging!"

The girl didn't believe it, and she was also an agitator, but unfortunately Downton kept her mouth shut, and she was so angry that her teeth itched.

"You guys rehearse this first. ”

Downton began to write the detailed script by hand, and with the help of a literary master like Homer, it was a piece of cake, and by the evening, it was finished.

Tiger Woods and Wutford's servants sent invitations to Downton for dinner, but he declined.

"Woods is an orc, after all, but Woodford is a famous family in Brittany, and you have a good relationship with him, which will be very helpful for your future. ”

Madeleine is also good for Downton, a duke, which is really nothing in front of these people.

"I didn't plan to be a dog for others, as for cooperation, do you think I'm qualified to talk to people with my status?" Downton knew himself very well, and he didn't want to be a snake.

Madeleine gave Downton a deep look at these words, and then stopped persuading.

Because of the conflict with Schurrle, no one dared to trouble Downton, so the voyage was quiet, and the cruise arrived in Corsica at dusk the next day.

Downton didn't want to bump into those nobles, so he waited for them to go first, and by the way, he helped the toffee pack up his salute, there were too many things, dozens of boxes full, and the women couldn't move, so he had to work more.

Watching a duke run back and forth to carry the box, the ladies who had been impressed by him because of his performance yesterday frowned, and some showed expressions of disgust.

"I'm not wrong, right? The turtle is the turtle, and being a nobleman can't hide the smell of the bun. ”

Some nobles who hated Downton took the opportunity to belittle him, and all kinds of vicious language sprayed wildly.

When Hu Tao heard this, he was angry and wanted to beat people, but was stopped by Downton.

"What do they do, just be happy. "Downton doesn't mind, he is not an orthodox nobleman in the first place, and he is too lazy to pretend and cover up. (To be continued......)
