In addition to the lack of electronic equipment, the basic living facilities in the residential area outside the park are not much different from those of later generations.

Air conditioning and refrigerators are already available, there is no large LCD TV, but there is already a movie equipment, which is equivalent to a projector.

After the relatively perfect film equipment was just invented, the first thing that the officials of the Ming court thought of was education.

But after a little longer than that, someone soon thought of a way to use it for entertainment.

It is a matter of course to record and broadcast the play.

The Royal Film Company has been established and has begun to record the most classic and popular dramas in Daming.

A large number of films and cassettes were produced and began to be played in temporary or specialized locations.

The drama has been recorded and played many times, and the actual viewing cost is of course much lower than that of watching the play directly, which can be experienced by more people.

But the current film is all black and white, and the actual experience is definitely not as good as watching the play live.

In Zhu Jingyuan's paradise, of course, the corresponding equipment is also specially prepared.

Within the residential area, there are small-scale facilities for the interior of the residence, and there are also large-scale facilities in the entertainment area.

Zhu Jingyuan and Zhu Zhongliang moved, and they didn't need to be cleaned up after coming, and the places and facilities were all packed up and waiting for them to come.

On the night of check-in, Zhu Zhongliang pulled Zhu Jingyuan and watched a recorded movie together.

The name of the opera is "South of the Heavenly Sea", which tells the story of a group of Ming people who went to the Tiannan Continent to develop.

The identities of Zhu Zhongliang and Zhu Jingyuan, of course, have the conditions to directly request the troupe to perform live.

But the experience of watching the recorded movie is different, and more importantly, the gap in efficiency is extremely huge.

The hassle of organizing a performance is far greater than having the film equipment ready for direct screening.

Emperor Shizu seems to have had no interest in opera at all, and may not have interest in later dramas at all.

He does not seem to have made any direct interference with the performance of Da Ming's opera.

However, Emperor Shizu's actions have a huge impact on the whole world, and of course they have indirectly affected the opera industry.

It is mainly reflected in the fact that the scope and subject matter of the opera have increased, and the style has also undergone obvious changes, and the content has become more outward-looking.

Industrial and commercial themes, modern war themes, maritime trade and colonial themes have all appeared one after another.

After more than 100 years of development, it has also evolved into a national opera similar to Peking Opera.

Zhu Jingyuan is similar to Emperor Shizu, and he is completely uninterested in opera and drama.

Except for the very few plays and dramas I watched when I was a student, I didn't know anything about these things in my daily life.

Zhu Zhongliang watched it quite devotedly, and beat it to the rhythm and drums.

Zhu Jingyuan looked drowsy.

When the opera transitioned, Zhu Zhongliang glanced at his grandson and subconsciously asked:

"If you're sleepy, go sleep first, you don't have to be here with me......

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously shook his head:

"I'm not sleepy, but the jingle on the stage, Yi Yi is quite hypnotic......

Zhu Zhongliang subconsciously wanted to ask why, but when the words came to his mouth, he realized something else:

"I heard my grandfather say that Emperor Shizu was not interested in opera at all, and as long as he listened to opera, he would be sleepy......

….

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously nodded and said:

"It is understandable that the drama of Emperor Shizu at that time must have been more boring than it is now......

Zhu Zhongliang went hard:

"What do you mean understandable? So why on earth are you not interested in opera?"

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously said:

"The lyrics and rhythm are too slow, the costumes and makeup are too exaggerated, the scenes and props are too fake, and the scenes are too small to be exciting at all."

Zhu Zhongliang was stunned for a moment, and then realized something again:

"So...... You just haven't seen a play that interests you?

"The pace should be fast, the costumes should be as usual, the props should be more realistic, the stage could be bigger, and the plot should be more intense.

"It's true that there is no such play, but you can have people write it and let the troupe rehearse it."

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously shook his head:

"It's not worth it, the stage is so big, and there are too many restrictions on the form of performance in order to let people watch it directly.

"It is impossible to directly enlarge the cannon on the stage, let the battleship bomb each other, and the aircraft carrier and throw the plane and drop the bomb......

Zhu Zhongliang immediately glared:

"What do you mean...... It can't be real cannons and battleships, right?

"How do you set it up on the stage? You won't be able to see it when it's out!"

At this point in the conversation between the two, Zhu Jingyuan slowly realized something.

It seems that Emperor Shizu is not only not interested in opera, he may not be interested in the content of movies either.

He may have mentioned motion picture equipment, but it is likely that he did not leave any record of later filmmaking.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for my grandfather not to realize the difference between movies and opera videos.

After realizing this, Zhu Jingyuan's spirit also eased:

"Movies are recorded and then shown to others, so why do they have to be put on stage?

"You can record in the wilderness outside the city, you can record directly on the sea, you can use a car or even an airplane to hang a video recorder in the air.

"Record images of thousands of troops charging together, images of thousands of people fighting on the ground, and images of dozens of huge fleets fighting on the sea.

"First record the artillery firing on this side, and then record the artillery fire on the other side, and the explosion everywhere.

"First record the flames spewing out from the muzzles of the battleship's main guns, and then record the footage of other battleships being hit by shells more than ten kilometers away.

"We can record what decrees the Cabinet has enacted, how the local officials have carried them out, and how ordinary peasants and workers have been treated.

"You can record how the Governor's Office trained its troops, how it formulated its battle plan, and how the fleet and troops carried it out.

"At the same time, you can record what the enemy has done, how the enemy responds and plans.

"Videos from different places are cut together to show all aspects of an event, the causes and consequences of a war, and they are played continuously on a projector, accompanied by sound.

"Isn't this much more interesting than watching a singer play tricks on the stage?"

Zhu Zhongliang listened leisurely:

"So it could be like this...... So this is a movie......

After two sentences, Zhu Zhongliang suddenly looked at Zhu Jingyuan:

"Then why don't you do it?"

….

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously said:

"How can I have time to do this, trying to find a way to build new real super battleships and aircraft carriers as soon as possible, it's much more important than the movie of platoon aircraft carriers and battleships, right?

"It's that your old man is usually idle anyway, but you can do something in this area, and just prepare and plan according to the idea I said."

Zhu Zhongliang couldn't help but nod when he listened:

"You do have more important things to do, and I can indeed try to toss one.

"But you can't just wait, tell me what's in your head."

Zhu Jingyuan agreed as a matter of course:

"Of course, this is no problem, in fact, I can't guide much on the specific details, mainly this idea.

"It's the steel I said, shooting as realistically as possible, editing together the things of different scenes.

"Of course, the lines and dialogues can't be sung, just like the usual speech of the corresponding identity.

"And then there's the one that can be used to make sense of reality, such as the footage of a real person fighting.

"You can stagger two people, but when you shoot from behind, it looks like they're standing together.

"Or a man with a knife

Stabbed the other person, and the knife passed through the creaky socket of the person opposite.

"But if you shoot it from the side, it's like this person has really been pierced.

"You can also put paint water in the squeaky nest, and you can also bite into a paint bag in your mouth.

"When you are stabbed, you can squeeze it and let the water flow out as blood.

"Anyway, it's just to use this method to make this picture and story as real as possible."

Zhu Zhongliang nodded lightly again this time:

"Those means of borrowing positions, as well as the methods of making paint, are also available on traditional theater stages, and they can be used after transformation."

Zhu Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief directly:

"It's good to have, then I don't need to talk about this kind of detail, just in the pursuit of truth, and at the same time let the relevant pictures of multiple scenes and the story be directly linked, it's okay."

Zhu Jingyuan said that there was no need to talk about the details, but Zhu Zhongliang was not ready to let him go.

Zhu Zhongliang directly ordered someone to turn off the film equipment and began to discuss more details with Zhu Jingyuan on the spot.

directly put on a posture of digging out everything in Zhu Jingyuan's brain.

Zhu Jingyuan followed his grandfather to discuss the art of film for three days in a row, and then returned to a basically normal life.

Zhu Zhongliang has already begun to collect scripts, mobilize filming and recording equipment, and is ready to try his hand at making movies.

On December 20, the 4th year of Ankang, Charlotte and Charles arrived at the park pier on the same passenger ship.

The water depth is 8 meters 100 meters away from the coastline outside the park, and 20 meters below 10 kilometers away.

In terms of simple port conditions, it is better than Sanqing City Military Port and New Tianfu City.

A little dredging of the channel can allow large ships of tens of thousands of tons to dock directly.

However, at present, this port is privately owned by Zhu Jingyuan, and only ships with special permission can dock.

Of course, the size of the port is not large, and there are too many ships to stop.

Charlotte and Charles both came in their private capacity this time for private purposes, so there were only private servants in their entourage, and there were no personnel from the courts of the two countries.

….

The pomp and circumstance of the trip was not large, and the two took the same passenger ship directly.

Because the relationship with Zhu Jingyuan was special enough, Zhu Jingyuan also had to go to the dock to greet them in person.

Zhu Jingyuan stood on the pier below the passenger ship, watching Charlotte and Charles come down the gangway from a distance.

The two of them are dressed very similarly, both of them are Lolita style designed by Zhu Jingyuan last year, and the latest popular styles newly designed and released by Dashi clothing manufacturers in the second half of this year.

Charlotte is pink with white, and Charles is red with black.

"Pink is thought to be the color of diluted blood, so it is a manly color" is actually a rumor.

Pink comes from the morning glow, and the aristocratic men of the Middle Ages pursued dark red, which is the color of normal blood.

Therefore, red and black are the most in line with the preferences of the Tessie aristocratic men who pursue the heroic style.

Pink has always been a common color in women's clothing and cosmetics.

Charlotte ran to Zhu Jingyuan very simply, opened her arms and hugged him.

Zhu Jingyuan was a little helpless in his heart, but a smile naturally appeared on his face, and he opened his arms very cooperatively to catch it.

Charlotte was very excited and kissed Zhu Jingyuan heavily on the face.

Zhu Jingyuan put her on the ground with a smile:

"Let me see...... I have grown taller again......

Charlotte immediately held her head high:

"Charlotte hasn't only grown taller, but people are still ...... I've grown up!"

Zhu Jingyuan looked up and down, she hadn't seen each other for more than half a year, this girl had indeed grown taller, and her figure had changed.

Zhu Jingyuan smiled and nodded:

"Well, it's true that I've grown up, keep trying to grow bigger......

After saying hello to Charlotte, Zhu Jingyuan came to Xia

In front of you:

"Long time no see......

Charles also smiled and responded:

"Long time no see, my dear friend......"

However, Zhu Jingyuan looked at Charles's reaction, and always felt that his smile was a little stiff:

"How? What seems to be on your mind?"

Charles doesn't hide it from his best friend:

"I do have something I want to discuss with my best friend, can we have a drink together tonight?"

Zhu Jingyuan did not shirk either:

"Okay, let's go back first."

Charlotte heard the conversation between the two next to her, and almost subconsciously interjected:

"Why do you want to drink at night! Let's talk about it now!"

Zhu Jingyuan understood:

"Okay, let's talk about it now, say it as soon as possible, and help you come up with an idea as soon as possible."

Xia Er will not shirk it, this time he came to Zhu Jingyuan to discuss some personal matters.

So Zhu Jingyuan took the two into the paradise and arranged a place for Charlotte in the residential area.

In Charlotte's room, Zhu Jingyuan hugged Charlotte again and kissed her, and whispered in her ear:

"Have a good rest in the afternoon, and I'll come to you in the evening......

Charlotte's cheeks were slightly red, but there was no shyness in her mouth:

"Then you have to come early, don't let the family wait too long, I haven't seen each other for more than half a year, I really miss you......

Charlotte, who said goodbye to Zhu Jingyuan, went out to meet Charles, and went to the accommodation arranged for Charles.

….

In the living room of this house, the two of them had meals and drinks prepared.

After there were no outsiders, Charles's expression became more serious.

didn't need Zhu Jingyuan's persuasion, he drank two glasses of wine directly, and after brewing his emotions, he spoke directly:

"Best Friend...... You should know that I was never married, and I didn't have a mistress......

Zhu Jingyuan suddenly:

"So that's what you're doing...... You've never been married?"

Charles is twenty-four years old today, and he will be twenty-five after the New Year.

The Tessie nobles of this era are not a few who still do not marry at this age.

But most of them are actually not finding a suitable marriage partner, or are in a hot fight with a mistress who can't get married.

Charles, who is not married and has no mistress at all, can be regarded as a very outrageous thing.

Xia Er wanted to speak and stopped, then looked at Zhu Jingyuan first, and then looked around.

Zhu Jingyuan understood, and immediately asked the servants to retreat, and let them take the door.

Charles drank again, brewed his emotions again, and whispered in great frustration:

"My body...... In that regard...... Seems to be a bit of a problem......

Zhu Jingyuan subconsciously wanted to hide back, and subconsciously said in his heart that you won't like women.

However, on the surface, he still forcibly held on, trying to get more details:

"Specific...... What kind of problem is it? Is it because you are not interested in women in your heart? Or does it not work functionally?"

Charles shook his head directly, opened the chatterbox, and complained bitterly while drinking:

"Neither...... I had contact with women when I was sixteen.

"My body was fully responsive, but I couldn't finish the last moves, and it hurt...... Severe pain......

"This incident left a psychological shadow on me, and I have never been in contact with a woman since.

"Later, my parents arranged for me to marry, but I refused because I was not interested and did not like each other.

"Now, having dealt with the traitorous nobles and merchants in the country, I have begun to preside over the French cabinet on my father's orders.

"But now my parents are very strict that I have to get married, and as the crown prince, I have to get married and have my own

own children.

"Even if I have another woman I like, even a man I like, I have to get married and try to have children.

"He even promised that as soon as my lawful wife gave birth to a male heir, he would retire and let me inherit the throne of France in advance.

"Of course, I also understand that this kind of thing can't be delayed forever, so I can only come to my best friend to discuss......
