Chapter 911: Movie Master
All eyes in the warehouse were focused on Downton, and the actors were eager to see what the Native Duke could say.
"Don't sell it, say it!"
Homer slammed into Downton's head.
"It hurts!"
Downton rubbed his forehead and hesitated, but decided to speak, "Movie!"
"What's that?"
Madeleine's brow furrowed deeply, even Homer, who knew the art of opera in the world, so to speak, had never heard of it.
"It's wrong, it's the Shadow!"
Downton remembered that there is no electricity in this world, so there is no way to talk about movies, but there is magical energy, and the effect it achieves is no worse than electricity.
"Is it a shadow puppetry?"
Madeleine pursed her lips.
"No!" Downton pondered his thoughts for a moment and began to explain, "Shadow is a new audio-visual art, which accommodates literature, photography, painting, music, architecture, and other arts, and is a real and natural form of expression!"
These opera practitioners, including Homer and Madeleine, were confused.
"Does Diwei Crystal know?"
Downton asked, and ended up eating a lot of white eyes.
"Nonsense, get down to business!"
Madeleine urged.
"We usually use Diwei crystals to record some scenes and preserve valuable deeds, but have you ever thought about it, if these scenes are filmed into a story, wouldn't it be more real than that of the opera?"
Downton distilled the definition of cinema and instilled it in the crowd as simply as possible.
"Yes, opera is too limited, at least it can only be performed on stage, which dooms it to not be real, and it depends on the acting skills of the actors to infect the audience. But the Shadow is different, it's life, it's a living world!"
Madeleine's eyes lit up, and she immediately grasped the essence and characteristics of the Shadow and talked about it.
Downton was stunned, and then gave a thumbs up in admiration. The head of the royal sister really has a superb comprehension of art.
"Not only that, the opera is too contrived, too exaggerated, this is determined by its performance form, to be honest, many people are not used to it, even those aristocrats, are afraid of being scolded for vulgarity, so they have to go into the opera house. The table xiàn shows his own elegance, but the magic shadow is different, he is the most real table, and the real is the easiest to impress the audience!"
Downton Sermons.
Madeleine nodded frequently as she listened, "It's true that the sense of substitution in the opera is too low, but the Shadow is different. Put it in the real world, that's life!"
"How's it going? Are you interested in making a Magic Shadow?"
Downton mentions. Why does he feel like peacekeeping after watching "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"? Because it is an opera, it has lost its original charm.
"How long is a Shadow film, how long does it take, what are the requirements for the actors? There are too many uncertainties, and what we lack most is time!"
Madeleine shook her head.
"I'll take care of that!"
Downton recommended himself, and in his dreams, he had seen too many movie shoots. These processes are familiar, and the plot of this movie can be done in a tavern, so it is not too simple.
"But ......"
Madeleine was still worried.
"It's nothing, how many years has opera been in development, and its peak is no more than that. Director Madeleine, throughout history, there have been many great opera troupes, but there are only a few people who can leave their names in the history of opera, do you think you can?"
Downton looked Madeleine in the eye and asked sincerely.
"I think I can!"
No matter how confident Madeleine is, she doesn't have much confidence when she says this, art is even different from rank, it's not that if you work hard, you will definitely be able to climb it.
Times, opportunities, talents, there are so many things needed to go down in the history of opera, and Madeleine can't help but feel sad when she thinks back to the years she has come.
"Troupe leader, do you have any achievements in opera? Can you surpass those predecessors? But now, a new art form is in front of you, as long as you do it, you are a pioneer, a guide, no matter what the final development of the Shadow is, you are the first person, anyone who learns the Shadow will inevitably understand you!"
Downton's persuasion is simply too tempting~confusing~, a pioneer of an industry and an art, which is simply the most unbearable poison for Madeleine, who is obsessed with art!
"The repertoire is already like this, in a week's time, even if you dig up actors who are comparable to the pillars of the Black Swan, you won't have time to practice for them, it's better to fight, the opera duel between Toffee and the Black Swan, I believe that many nobles will come to see it, isn't this the most perfect stage for the Shadow to appear?"
Downton's impassioned speech was infectious.
"But if you fail, you'll be laughed at. ”
Madeleine hesitated, and of course the nobles returned, because they wanted to see Downton's joke.
"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?" Downton smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Let us use the Shadow to conquer them, and then conquer the world, shall we?"
Madeleine was silent.
The entire warehouse fell silent, and the members of the regiment did not dare to breathe, quietly looking at their beloved regimental leader.
Finally, ten minutes later, Madeleine shook Downton's hand, "Well, conquer the world!"
Oh yes!
The members of the group cheered, although they were a little confused about the future prospects, but the head of the group could find a new ideal, and they were sincerely happy for her.
Pippen quietly wiped her tears, how many years, Miss finally stopped being obsessed with opera.
"I want to call it a movie, though!"
When the cheers fell, Madeleine spoke suddenly.
"Why?" Downton wondered, "people don't understand what electricity is?"
"Because I think it's a cool word!" Madeleine's reason is simply ridiculous, "and it's the term I coined zào, so I want to call it 'movie'!"
Madeleine's meaning is very simple, she wants the movie to come out like lightning, shine in the sky, and make its audience addicted to the soul and unable to help themselves!
"You are the head of the regiment, you have the final say!"
Downton felt as if there was a law of fate at work in the dark, even if he changed his words. But the movie still hasn't changed in the slightest.
Madeleine was a resolute person, and since she had made a decision, she would implement it immediately, and he arranged for Pippen to find a filming location, but Downton refused.
"I'll go, I know what kind of scene is best suitable. "Downton recommended himself. "A good scenario is half the battle!"
"Well, let Pippen come along, you go to those agents, and after describing the place, they can help you find it. Madeleine admonished, "Forget it, I'll go too, and I'll discuss with you how to shoot by the way!"
After all, this main city is the royal capital of Xueman. It's so easy to find a multi-storey hotel, the only trouble is that the story in the dream takes place in the summer, and here, it's winter.
"There are five pieces of Diwei Crystal for shooting, from different extremes, and when you cut it at the end, choose the right picture!" Downton described what he knew.
Madeleine was intently taking a pen in her notebook. Even Homer listened with an open heart.
"I can shoot too, and what you want. I can extract it at any time, and I can even use magic to synthesize something that qiē didn't originally have zài. ”
Homer glanced at the fountain pen in the hand of the head of the Imperial Sister, and although it was not numbered on the body, it seemed to be genuine.
"That's cool!"
Downton whistled, and Homer, like that kind of smart computer, could do anything.
When a qiē is ready. It was already evening, and Madeleine couldn't wait for a moment to announce the start of filming.
The actors are not used to it at all, although they are acting according to Downton's description, but they are all awkward. Even the leading actor sometimes jumps out of the opera singing.
“CUT!”
After NG a few times in a row, Madeleine had to shout to stop and looked at Downton, "This doesn't work, I look awkward!"
"It's the first time for everyone, it's inevitable to be nervous!" Downton clapped his hands, "Everyone come here, listen to me, you don't have to think about anything, just treat it as an ordinary life, don't exaggerate, just play the role I gave you!"
Downton said a lot, and the shooting started again, although the effect was better, but it still didn't work, and the angry Madeleine wanted to drop the Divi crystal.
"It's not the way to go on like this, they've never made a movie, they don't know what to do, and they understand it according to what you say, so they can make something deformed. ”
Homer hits the nail on the head and points out the core mistake.
"Yes, Downton, why don't you give a demonstration, you should understand?"
Madeleine looked at Downton expectantly, and although the shooting was not satisfactory, she knew from the view of the world from the Divi crystal that this would be an art that would change the world.
"Okay!" For the sake of his reputation, Downton could only bite the bullet, "Then shoot the part after Leon kills people and returns to the hotel!"
"Well, light ready!"
As Madeleine shouted, all the actors in the audience closed their mouths, slowed their breathing, and cast their eyes on the staircase opposite.
Da! Da! Da!
Amid rhythmic footsteps, Downton walked up the stairs with a bag of freshly baked bread in his left hand and a glove bag in his right hand, and as he walked through the hallway, he shook his head in front of the door with the 502 sign hanging.
Madeleine secretly praised, according to the script, it should be her sister beating Matilda at this time, but I didn't expect Downton to interpret this detail.
After carefully checking the mechanism set up on the door, Downton entered the room, and when he closed the door, his shoulders loosened slightly, and the feeling of the killer entering the safety zone and unloading his vigilance was suddenly interpreted.
Downton took off his clothes, hung them on a hanger, sliced the bread, put it on a plate, brought it to the table, and poured a glass of milk.
Without rushing to dinner, Downton took the pot, walked to the balcony, watered the Silver Queen placed on it, and then took out the weapon box from under the bed, opened it, and began to maintain the crossbow and dagger.
Unconsciously, everyone melted into it, and when Downton came over and asked how it was, they realized that the performance had been finished. (To be continued......)
