"Phantom, it's coming."

The most authoritative official newspaper of the entire Seven Towers Federation, the Seven Towers Daily, published the photovoltaic storage technology on the front page on September 17.

The reporter stationed in Shenjiao City received instructions from the headquarters to conduct an exclusive interview with Duke.

In the interview, Duke talked about the future of film and television technology and optical storage technology, which can be widely used in various fields and industries.

But when it comes to more talking, it's the entertainment industry.

"I've always thought that our world is too boring and there's too little entertainment. This is also the original intention of my invention of film and television technology, I want to bring rich spiritual food to the world. In the interview, Duke did not exaggerate.

It is a simple description of the future you envision.

"Spiritual arcane is relevant to the general public, not exclusive to the arcane, and the same should be true of film and television technology. In the laboratory, you can use 3 rings of slide cards to build a large-capacity slide card roll, so as to record images at will. ”

"But the folk can't, a 3-ring slide card costs tens of thousands of gold dragons, which is far from what everyone can afford. So in the following time, I have been thinking about how to bring film and television technology into thousands of households, which has led to optical storage technology. ”

In the newspaper news, the principle of optical storage technology and the immediate effect brought by optical storage technology are introduced in detail.

"What form do you think film and television technology will take to enter thousands of households?" The journalist asked.

Duke replied, "Phantom." ”

Then he emphasized: "Phantom is not a simple re-enactment of time, but a re-creation based on real culture, and I think it will become an important art form, just like song, dance, and drama, to entertain and influence the public." ”

"An apparition can be an imaginary story, and then it is recorded in the form of a deduction for all to see. It can be a real record of an image, and it can be spread out so that everyone knows about it. ”

"I'll give you a simple example, maybe many people haven't seen a big whale in Whale Song Mirror Lake."

"Then I can use photography to film every move of the Mirror Lake whale dragon, and then edit it into a phantom and broadcast it all over the Federation. Then everyone, even if they have never been to the Archam Holy City, can still understand the living habits of the Mirror Lake whale dragon. ”

"That's what the phantom can do."

"Between people, some verbal expressions and expressiveness are actually very lacking. But with the Phantom, this communication will be very infectious. It will have a very positive side to guiding the social atmosphere, expanding the public's horizons, and publicizing federal policies. ”

After Duke finished introducing the Phantom, the reporter asked, "So how are you going to shoot the Phantom?" Or what kind of phantom would you make? ”

"I didn't plan to make it, but I did push some film and television companies to shoot fantasy films. It can be a feature film, it can be a documentary, it can be an educational film, or it can be an animated film. At present, the DreamWorks film and television company I promote is actively working on the first fantasy film. ”

"Can you tell us what kind of fantasy movie this is?" Questions from reporters.

"It's a love story called Romeo and Juliet." Duke responded to reporters with a smile, "It's about the time of the Storm Empire, when two nobles in a city had a deep feud and often fought. But the sons and daughters of the two families fell in love with each other......"

The original Romeo and Juliet Duke has almost forgotten about it.

I only remember some general plots, so the details are filled in by the writer and playwright who signed by DreamWorks.

DreamWorks is making a lot of fantasy films, but the first fantasy film that is confirmed to be officially released at the Phantom Opera House is "Romeo and Juliet".

There is no other reason.

Because the screenwriter of this fantasy film is named by Duke.

"Sounds interesting, so when will the public see this fantasy film?"

"It will take about three or four months, that is, it will probably be released after the New Year's Festival. However, at present, in all major cities in the field of wind breath, there are basically Phantom Opera Houses opened by DreamWorks, which can play "Romeo and Juliet", and other fields depend on the degree of promotion of film and television technology by the Erudite Tower. ”

The territory of the Seven Towers Federation is too large.

The transportation is seriously inconvenient, resulting in many companies not being able to go out of their own fields, let alone expand outward.

For example, the giant of light, the lamps and lanterns produced are basically sold in-house in the field of wind breath, otherwise, the transportation cost is higher than the cost of the lamps. In the other eleven areas, Duke can only collect a small patent fee and cede the market to others.

The Phantom Film may be able to be released together with the entire Federation, but the construction of the Phantom Opera House will definitely not be monopolized.

At that time, I am afraid that it will be necessary to establish a unified phantom release mechanism.

Of course.

These are all things to think about later, and now Duke only needs to talk about the phantom and make a front-page headline in the Seven Towers Daily.

"Wow, Duke, your photo in the newspaper is really handsome!" After Kiriya got the new issue of "Seven Towers Daily", she praised it again and again.

She took a leave of absence from Penrose Mage Tower today to come to Sukhtara Mage Tower to preside over an experiment related to film and television technology at DreamWorks. Sneak to Duke's office, eat breakfast with Duke, and read the newspaper.

"No way, shooting from any angle, I'm so flawless." Duke bragged.

But in fact, he is indeed tender and handsome.

And it will continue to do so for hundreds of years.

Think about yourself on the earth, at the age of thirty, you have a big belly and a body that is hollowed out by wine, which is really embarrassing, and at the same time I love the present even more.

"Are you free tonight, let's go to the astrological observatory and look at the stars." Kiria suddenly suggested.

The Seven Towers of the Seven Towers Federation, the Star Towers only stand in the Arcane Alpha Holy City, and there are no Star Towers stationed in the major cities of the Twelve Domains.

However, there is a subordinate body of the Tower of Stars, the Astrological Observatory.

It is used to observe the stars in each place, provide different astrological views for the star towers, and record the daily changes in the stars.

"Tonight, I'm afraid it won't work, I'm going to Cuihai City in the afternoon, and I should stay overnight in the Black Snake Manor at night."

"Are you going to Cuihai City?"

"Well, the Lingchi Farm has already chosen a new site, and I plan to move Xiaohong to Lingya Mountain and let it guard the underground area of Lingya Mountain for me." Duke said.

Little Red is a descendant of a mangrove branch.

As the 5-ring crypt marching ant queen, Mangrove Branch originally lived in Cuihai Valley, and migrated Xiaohong to the past, which belongs to returning to his homeland.

Moreover, with Xiaohong occupying the king, other spirit insects would not dare to invade the realm of Lingya Mountain.

"Oh." Kiria was a little disappointed.

Duke smiled and pinched her slightly baby fat face and said, "Tomorrow, tomorrow I will accompany you to the astrological table to see the stars." ”

"Uh-huh!"

In the afternoon, Duke went to the Spirit Pond Farm outside the castle and called Red out.

Today, Xiaohong has grown to the 4-ring level, and has cultivated nearly 500 2-ring and 3-ring crypt marching ants, and many ant eggs are hatching.

It cannot speak, and the ability to communicate with the mind brought about by the master-slave contract is weak.

But this didn't bother Duke, patted his stomach, and the chick swooped out: "Wow, Xiaohong, you've grown so big!" ”

Xiao Hong, who was crawling in front of Duke, was already two or three meters long.

Duke felt that he was riding Xiaohong, and he could run all over the field, and he had to say that the Crypt Marching Ant Queen under the 5-ring bloodline was indeed strong.

Xiaohong's two tentacles gently touched the chick.

The chick suddenly giggled: "It's so good, Xiaohong, if the mangrove branch sees you, it will definitely jump up happily!" ”

"......" Xiaohong was speechless.

But the meaning had already been conveyed, and the chick replied with a little sadness: "O mangrove branch, your mother, it is beautiful!" Unfortunately, the mangrove twigs have been taxidermied, and the specimens are hidden in the Unitary Tower's repository. ”

In the United Tower, there is a huge display of spirit beasts.

Over the years, Shen Jiao City fought in the south and the north, and the relatively special spirit beasts killed were collected after being made into specimens.

Crypt marching ants are generally 3-ring, and only a few break through to the 5-ring level.

The Mangrove Branch is also the only 5-ringed queen to be killed by the Arcanes, so it is eligible to be stored in the Union Tower Inventory.

But Xiaohong doesn't seem to be touched by this.

The chick was suddenly unhappy, and turned back to Duke to complain: "Little Red is really a cold-blooded animal, and he can't raise it well, I told him about the red branch, and it hasn't eaten yet." ”

"You can't expect an ant to understand human morality." Duke touched the chicken's head, "It's just a spirit worm, no matter how complex the body is, no matter how powerful the bloodline is, it has to survive according to the habits of the insect, this is the way of nature." ”

"But the mangrove twig is good, it's good for me!" The chick held his head high and said, "It worked hard to give birth to Little Red!" ”

"The mangrove twigs are good to you, because you know each other at the beginning, and then slowly become familiar. Isn't Xiaohong also very good to you now, you can also build a good friendship. As for the production of red branches, if one day Xiaohong encounters a crisis, it will also be produced in this way...... Little red. ”

"Is that so?" Chick is puzzled.

"Of course."

"I don't really understand, but I seem to understand." The chick said seriously, "Duke, since I made a contract with you, I feel that I have become smarter, and I will think about the problems that I didn't think about before, but now I think about why!" ”

"This is called the red of those who are close to Zhu and the black of those who are close to ink." Duke laughed, "With the mangrove branches, all you learn is insect thinking, with a wise man like me, you can learn true wisdom, little chicken, watch and learn hard!" ”

"Hmph, I'm not a chick, I'm a chick, my grandmother gave me the name!" Chicks hate it when people have anything to do with chickens.

Then he added angrily: "My grandmother is a wise man, and it has endless wisdom!" ”

"Then I'll have to introduce you solemnly." Duke held his head high and said loudly, "In front of you is the youngest learned sage of the Seven Towers Federation, known by the people as the son of the sun and the lord of light and shadow, and my wisdom is enough to change this world. ”

Immediately, he lowered his head and looked down at the chick: "Do you still think your grandmother is wiser than me?" ”

"Hmph, it's wiser than you!"

"I see you have a backbone in the back of your head."

Duke is not used to chickens, so he directly popped his brain and bounced the chicks to scream: "Duke, big villain, nasty ghost!" ”

Frolicking, and when Little Red recalled all the Crypt Marching Ants, Duke drove Little Red to take the ant colony and board the Shadow Chase airship one after another.

Set off for Lingya Mountain in Cuihai Valley.

Lingya Mountain has changed its appearance, and there are potholes everywhere, and the entire mountain is about to be hollowed out, and huge basements have been built.

The basement is coordinated, with the passage of the spring as the coordinates, until the other spring at the foot of the mountain.

The spring at the top of the mountain is named by Duke, and the spring at the foot of the mountain is named by Duke as Yagen Spring, and there are tracked ladders all the way from Yajian Spring to Yagen Spring, similar to the escalators in shopping malls on Earth, but faster.

The land around Yagen Spring does not belong to Duke yet, so it is only fenced off with an iron fence for the time being, and nothing is built.

However, several basements were illegally built underground.

The floors of all basements are compacted with reinforced concrete, and the steel bars are doped with a large amount of spiritual gold, and the defense effect is super strong.

Basically, the arcane of 1 ring and 2 rings can't break the stone slab in the basement.

"Lord Duke!" The members of the Broken Sword Mercenary Group guarding the construction site saw Duke and his party coming over and quickly stepped forward to salute.

"Stand at your post." Duke encouraged.

He then left most of his followers on the ground, and went into the basement with only his personal knight Vivienne and Little Red's ant colony.

Advance notice was given that the construction crew had withdrawn from the basement.

In the dark basement, Vivien turns on the bright portable lamp she carries with her to illuminate the basement for Duke.

The chick followed Duke, swimming forward and backward.

The mouth was also idle: "Duke, where is Xiaohong's new home?" ”

"Below the basement, the entire Lingya Mountain and the surrounding boundaries are Xiaohong's lair." Duke said softly.

"The environment here is not good, Xiaohong's nest must have a part close to the ground, otherwise, there is no way to breed gyokuro and mushrooms in the nest. In the past, my grandmother instructed me to build the nest of the mangrove branches, and I have to guide Xiaohong now. ”

"You rest, just your knowledge, don't hurt Xiaohong." Duke ignored the broken-mouthed chick.

Now that the chick has been with him for a long time, it is probably influenced by his good qualities, and its mouth is no longer very smelly, only broken.

The chick felt bored and turned his head to swim to Vivian's shoulder: "Vivian, there are no spirit crystals, I'm hungry." ”

"Yes." Vivien pulled out a spirit crystal.

When I fed it to the chicks, I took the opportunity to touch the chick's head with my hand, and it felt quite good, warmer than jade.

"Don't get me oiled!" Chick glare.

"You're wrong, elves don't have gender, there's no such thing as a card oil." Vivien replied in a serious manner.

This made the chick stunned: "Really? ”

"Of course." Vivien's tone was sincere.

The chick lifted his two little short legs and scratched his head, unable to think clearly, simply didn't want to, and chewed on the spirit crystal.

Duke, who walked in front, was happy in his heart.

It's not Le Chick, but Le Vivian, who used to behave upright and didn't understand amorous style, is now playful and knows how to tease chicks.

This is good.

It will add a lot of fun later.

In a short time, he passed through the dark and deep and complex basement and arrived at his destination - a map guide with a vindictive holographic screen, Duke never got lost.

"This is where the 'mother nest' in the basement is located, little chicken, you tell Xiaohong, build your own nest directly below the mother nest, and then incubate the eggs in the mother nest, this mother nest is specially designed for Xiao Hong, absolutely safe."

Duke said.

The chick turned to look at Xiaohong and cooed a few times, which is its unique ability to communicate with ants in pheromones.

The basement of the brood is not very large, but the walls are noticeably thicker than elsewhere, and there is a secret passage on the ground, which is not sealed with a spiritual gold stone slab.

Xiaohong, who was instructed, quickly commanded his ant colony.

Then a huge crypt marching ant dug down the dark passage, the arcane vibration spread far underground, and after a while, a simple nest was built, and Red waved her tentacles at Duke and followed the nest.

In the future, Xiaohong's ant colony nest will run through the entire Lingya Mountain, protecting the underground safety in an all-round way.

Leave the brood basement.

Duke activates the mechanism, and the heavy door in the basement slowly sinks until the basement is completely sealed.

Until the ant colony is completely tamed, he will not let the ant colony meet humans more.

Only after being completely tamed can you be like the Black Jade Family, driving spirit insects to do all kinds of work, just like raising a group of servants.

Stayed at Black Snake Manor for one night.

Early the next morning, Duke set out for the Sukhtara Mage Tower, and in the evening, he accompanied Kiriya Fury to the stargazing platform.

In the astronomical telescope, the starry sky is exceptionally bright.

But there is no Milky Way in the sky, and I don't know if it is in the depths of the Milky Way, which makes the Milky Way not obvious, or if it is no longer in the Milky Way.

"But what's the use of being sure it's the Milky Way?"

The diameter of the Milky Way is 180,000 light-years, which means that it takes 180,000 years for light to travel from one end of the galaxy to the other.

The arcane mages of the Seven Towers Federation have not even been able to explore a barren continent of their own planet, let alone go out of the planet and travel between the stars.

"However, if I am promoted to the 9th Ring Sun Arcane Mentor, will I be able to live for a thousand years?"

"In a thousand years, I will develop interstellar travel, is it possible to cross the galaxy and return to Earth to have a look?"

Just a glance.

Thinking of this, Duke was thrilled.

Maybe this hope is slim, after all, I don't even know if I am still in the galaxy, but this thought is strongly haunting my mind.

"When you go back, you must go to the Star Tower, and see what the results of the Armage's astrology for thousands of years have been occupied, and whether he has occupied the galaxy where he is located, whether it belongs to the galaxy or not!" Duke thought to himself, "I remember the picture of the Milky Way!" ”

It was a beautiful whirlpool galaxy.

"Duke, what are you thinking?"

"Hmm." Duke came back to his senses, glanced down at the beautiful woman leaning on his arms, and smiled faintly, "I'm homesick." ”

"What time is it, and you want to go home?"

"Haha, lie to you, I'm not trying to go home, I'm trying to start a family with you." Duke hid his reverie with a smile.

No one in this world can understand what he is thinking when he looks up at the starry sky.

……

Snow.

In the studio of the Phantom Industrial Base, the tomb is decorated like a tomb, and the actor who plays Romeo hugs the unconscious actress and screams in pain.

"No!"

then took out a bottle of poison, swallowed the poison directly, and fell to the actress with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth.

"Click!" The director shouted, "The mood is not enough, think about how the stage play should be performed, your current performance is so embarrassing that you want to pick your feet." ”

"Director, let me brew." The actor hurriedly said.

"Hurry up."

This scene was seen by Duke and Kiria in the corridor on the second floor.

The two of them traveled to inspect the filming progress of "Romeo and Juliet", and with the help of the front-page headlines of the "Seven Towers Daily", this fantasy film has been crowned as the first fantasy film of mankind, which can be described as highly anticipated.

Coupled with Duke's reputation as a screenwriter, "Romeo and Juliet" has firmly attracted the public's attention.

After all.

Prior to this, in October, Duke had successfully won the highest award in the field of naturalism for his film and television technology.

The limelight is blowing.

"Duke, what do you think of their performance?" Kiria said cheerfully, "I can't wait to see it in action." ”

"It's okay." Duke said perfunctorily.

In fact, he quite disagrees with the styles of these actors and directors, and is still using the old-fashioned drama style to put on the phantom.

This will make the phantom seem unreal at all, that is, the stage play has changed its packaging.

But he didn't bother to correct it, he couldn't rely on him to guide everything, he would be tired to death if he did.

And the step is too big, in case it hits the egg, it's not good.

It is always necessary for the people of the Seven Towers Federation to have a process of accepting the phantom, and perhaps this style of stage play is more friendly to the people.

In a word.

Whether "Romeo and Juliet" can be popular or not, Duke doesn't care.

This is just the first phantom, and there will be more phantom films to be released in the future, and sooner or later the public will be able to feel the charm of film and television technology, so as to give back with rich spirituality.

I watched the phantom shooting for a while.

In just a few minutes of plot, the director who strives for perfection has already spent ten volumes of phantom cards, and shooting a phantom will not be cheaper than shooting a movie on earth.

Even when it comes to special effects, there will be no bargain.

After all, if you want to shoot big scenes such as the invasion of spirit beasts, as well as epic scenes such as arcane duels, you have to ask arcane mages to help.

An arcane mage's appearance fee is not cheap.

"Wait until next year, and the entire Seven Towers Federation will see this fantasy film we filmed." "They will shed tears for this tragic love, and when I watched the play, I was very touched by Romeo and Juliet." ”

"I hope so." Duke said no.

Although there are no fantasy films in the Federation of the Seven Towers, there are not many stage plays, and the works that the great writers rely on to become famous are not lost to the earth.

Therefore, the public has a certain aesthetic foundation, and if "Romeo and Juliet" is filmed too badly, the audience will definitely not complain less.

He smiled and said, "But at least let the people of the whole federation enjoy a visual feast, and that's enough." ”

Erudite Tower has been promoting film and television technology throughout the Federation, and the Phantom Opera House has been built, and now there are Phantom Opera Houses in basically major cities, which mainly play Phantom musicals on weekdays to cultivate the audience's viewing habits.

Many owners of the newly built Phantom Opera House, even thousands of miles away, came to Shenjiao City to find DreamWorks Film and Television Company.

Negotiated the release cooperation of this fantasy film.

Such and such.

The year 4416 of the Storm calendar has been turned over, and the year 4417 has arrived, and Duke has entered the twenty-first year of life.

On the fifth day after the festival, January 5, 4416.

According to Duke's instructions, DreamWorks Pictures held a grand premiere at the Phantom Opera House in the center of Shenjiao City.

For this premiere, DreamWorks invited a large number of reporters and critics, and Duke and Kiria invited a large number of arcane mages to form the premiere moviegoers.

There are no celebrities on the red carpet.

Just invite everyone into the screening room, where the Omage is in the front row, and the reporters and critics are in the back row, waiting for Romeo and Juliet to play.

Duke sat in the first row, surrounded by Gystone Fury, Elwyn and other arcane mages.

and those close to Kiriya, Sukhtara, Penrose, etc.

When the lights in the screening room went out, only a bright light in front of the big screen suddenly rose, converging into a curved crescent moon.

Suddenly.

A fish floated down, causing ripples in the picture, and only then did people understand that this was just a reflection on the surface of the water.

The camera slowly rises, through the clouds, to the sky.

There was still a crooked crescent moon in the sky, and under the crescent sat a little boy with one leg on the crescent moon and one leg hanging in the air. He also holds a fishing rod in his hand, and the line looms into the clouds.

soothing music.

The little boy and the crescent moon gradually painted a part of a symbol, and the symbol then revealed the whole, which was the word "Dream Factory" in the official text of the Seven Towers Federation.
