Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

"You seem to have created something remarkable. Franklin nodded.

Wang Qinian's edited Snow White was first screened at the City Lord's Mansion, and was watched by Franklin and his daughter, as well as Criss and Bernhard.

"He used my magic circle for this. Chrissy sighed, "But I can't admit it, but you are very imaginative, and you have proved that magic can affect not only war, but also life." ”

"I think it's pretty good. Bernhard said.

"I still want to see it. "Agatha was still very interested, even though she had visited the shoot in person.

Franklin glanced at his daughter lovingly and rubbed his hand on her head.

Criss said: "This is easy to do, let Sebasson and them make another zuò, and put it in the city lord's mansion, Agatha can watch it whenever she wants." ”

"Actually, it can be simplified a little more. Wang Qinian took the opportunity to say, "I mean that you can alchemy the three magic arrays separately and make them into three items with separate functions." ”

"Then I'll have to change my alchemy plan. Chrissy nodded.

"Well, do you need any more help?" said Franklin, "Agatha was happy to go out this time, she actually wanted to go out, but I was always worried about her safety and wouldn't let her out of town." ”

"Where are you going to show this?" Bernhard asked.

"I would like to apply to the city lord for a part of the location of the Southern Plaza. Wang Qinian said.

"Well, well, I agree, and I'll give you a special favor, and I'll only charge you ten silver coins a day. Franklin said cheerfully.

This is indeed a great preferential treatment, the south district is a commercial area, the south square is usually not allowed to set up stalls, only on the day of the market, will be divided into many temporary shops by the city lord's mansion for rent, and the market will be taken back as soon as it is over.

The rent for those days is comparable to the rent of a real shop in the Southern District for a month, but due to the market, the supply is still in short supply. Ten silver coins, this is almost the same as a free gift.

By the time Wang Qi began to prepare, the Daffodil Theatre had already begun staging Snow White at Mr. Obill's Liberty Theater three days before his return

Snow White was a great success, bringing the already declining show back to the point of a surge.

The Daffodil Troupe has been in Liberty City for nearly a month, and they don't need such a high-density performance if they were performing normally.

In other cities, the performances of the resident troupe can be included or not, and the theater will fill the gap with circus or allow other troupes to appear.

If it is awarded, the prime time will be occupied by the pillars of the resident troupe, and the non-prime time will be occupied by some potential newcomers of the troupe.

For example, if Catherine hadn't fallen out with Lizzie and was driven to Wang Qinian, and Daffodil was successfully stationed, she would have had the opportunity to appear as the heroine of a play in non-prime time in the future, not just a supporting role, if she succeeded, she would have the opportunity to officially challenge the current status of Jenny, the pillar of Daffodil.

However, this kind of contracting must be very strong in the troupe, not only to perform well, but also to have enough repertoire and manpower.

Having enough repertoire means having someone willing to write scripts for the troupe, and manpower is the potential actors.

For example, even if Daffodils are stationed, it is difficult to cover them for a while, not because of their acting skills, but because the troupe is not big enough, and the manpower of their troupe is not enough to make them play seven days a week, which is why major theaters invite other first-class troupes to perform in their cities.

But this time, in order to successfully enter the Liberty Theater, it can be said that she has made a lot of money, and under her persecution, the entire troupe is running at capacity, and the first fifteen days are almost a day and one play is never the same.

Fifteen days later, Lizi Bao began to quietly cycle the earliest plays, alternating between the old and new plays.

What she wanted was to make a sensation, to make the inhabitants of the Free City, to let the merchants who came and go to accept the troupe as quickly as possible, to enter the Grand Theater with an indisputable attitude, and to spread the fame of the daffodil to other places through the mouths of these merchants, so as to lay the foundation for the daffodil to become a first-class theater company.

It should be said that she almost succeeded, and the decline only appeared on the twenty-fifth day, not entirely because of the lack of new plays in Lizibao, and the re-enactment of old plays by the citizens, but the script in her hand, and even the drama at that time were religious dramas that occupied the general trend, and the citizens watched too much religious dramas, but the free city is not like other cities, there is no church here, and it is a place where faith is missing.

So when Snow White was staged, it gave everyone a sense of novelty, which deviated from the plot orientation that religious dramas have always had.

Religious dramas have always been about the protagonist suffering and then being redeemed under God's guidance.

Snow White is not like this, the plot has great ups and downs in comparison, and in the end it is a happy ending, and the prince and princess are happily together.

Some of the plots in it even promoted commerce, such as the queen holding a magic mirror and asking, 'Who is the most beautiful person?', which increased the sales of mirrors in Liberty City by 50% the next day.

So these three days are the three most proud of Lizibao, not only to revive the already declining popularity, back to the first time when they first came, but also too many people to watch, many even in the city, asking Mr. Obier to persuade the Daffodil Troupe to perform.

Ticket prices have also increased from a silver Modo coin to a silver Eagle coin.

There are queues outside the theater every day, and a large number of people can't buy tickets every day.

Mr. Obier has promised Lizzie that she can sign at any time, and Daffodil will be the resident troupe of the Liberty Theater.

-----

However, from the fourth day, although the performances of the Liberty Theater were still full, the queue was decreasing, and the queue was very small on the fifth day.

Lizzie noticed this, which was a bad sign, but she couldn't think of a reason.

According to the previous investigation of the people in the queue she sent to the people, there are many people who have seen Snow White and are still ready to see it a second time, are these people suddenly not wanting to see it? Or maybe they have another choice.

Lizibao immediately thought of Wang Qinian, the person she didn't pay attention to, she only admired him for the script, and didn't believe that he could rehearse Snow White by borrowing a Catherine in the past, the difference between amateur and professional is sometimes bigger than the difference between ordinary people and magicians.

"Could it be him?" she couldn't believe it, and she immediately called the chores in the troupe to investigate the reason for the decrease in the queue.

And then she was rewarded, but the person who returned it was very eccentric.

"Yes, it's that person. ”

"Tell me who it is!"

"It's the guy you once called my attention, Captain. The chores replied honestly that Lizibao had asked him to pay attention to Wang Qinian, but Wang Qinian had been waiting for the completion of the Shadow Animation Machine before, so the chores couldn't show Wang Qinian's actions at all, and he didn't pay attention to it anymore when he was busy.

"He's playing Snow White too?" Richie screamed, "but how did he do it, there's only one big theater in the city!"

"No, he's pitched a big tent in the southern square, and his show ......," the handyman's face turned very odd, "You'd better go and see for yourself."

Lizi immediately changed her outfit and led the way to the southern commercial plaza with chores.

It was already crowded, but quite a few of them were ordinary citizens.

If Wang Qinian is divided, the citizen class of the Free City can be roughly divided into the following several, the first class is the magnates, with the city lord Franklin as the one, including the mage Criss also belongs to this class, and is the inner circle composed of Franklin and his most trusted people; , the big merchants in the city and the big rich merchants from other cities can also be counted in this level.

Below is the burgher class, in fact, this class can be further subdivided, can be divided into petty bourgeoisie and handicraft workers, the petty bourgeoisie owns a certain industry or fixed shops in the city, or has some small power, such as the alchemy shop owner Ewell who can undertake the commission of the inner city, or the merchant who was a little less powerful in the past such as Crumb, or the current status of Wang Qinian's quartermaster can barely be classified into this class; and the handicraft workers are the workers who work for these shops or workshops, and Ewell's apprentices are part of it。

Finally, there are the peasants and the unemployed who wander the slums of the Free City.

The price of the three-day show was raised to two eagle silver coins, and the main audience members of the powerful, the rich and the petty bourgeoisie, could afford the ticket price even if it were doubled.

Snow White was a sensation in the city, but the same number of people who wanted to see it were apprentices or craftsmen who worked in various workshops and shops, and they also wanted to see Snow White's plays, but tickets were hard to come by, and ticket prices were raised.

Lizi is anxious to find out what Wang Qinian has done and why there are so many viewers and potential audiences.

She squeezed forward from the crowd of supporters, but heard some lines of Snow White in her ears.

"Magic Mirror, Magic Mirror, who is the most beautiful person in the world?"

It was Catherine's voice, and she could hear it clearly, and Catherine was performing.

Then at last she saw a huge tent, surrounded by a black curtain, with a man standing in every corner, and in the middle of which there was an entrance, and a large man who looked a little wicked was counting the men, and each of them had to pay him five copper coins to enter, and from which Catherine's voice came out.

Damn, he really figured it out!

Lizi rushed over in a rage, and she forcefully separated everyone, unstoppable like a madman, so that the people around looked at this unruly crazy woman with surprised eyes and accused her.

But she couldn't care about it so much, she wanted to rush in and scold Wang Qinian and Catherine, and see what they did, how could a drama be performed like this with a tent?

This is blasphemy!

This is something that a third-rate troupe will not do, only the lowest grass stage team will do this!

Catherine, an idiot, how much effort did she put in to get the daffodils on the right path, but she was going to be affected like this, and when people ask about it in the future, it is easy to misunderstand that the daffodil troupe is also a tent!

No, I have to bring Catherine back.

Lizi rushed to the entrance and was about to break in, but Old John stopped her in time, and then stretched out his hand to her, "What do you want to do? Five copper coins!"

Lizzie was almost mad, but with what little reason she had left, she pulled out a silver Modo coin, pressed it heavily into Old John's hand, and strode in.

But when she entered, she froze, because there was no Catherine herself inside.

In this large tent, which can accommodate three or four hundred people, there is an earthen platform at the front, on which is hung a white curtain, on which there are images shaking, and the reason why Lizzie is stunned is because Catherine's famous line came from this white screen.

"This, this is Snow White too?" Lizzie was dumbfounded.

There are images on the white screen that continue to be generated, including Catherine's image, and after listening to only a few lines, Lizzie can judge that this is Snow White's script.

But this seems to be completely different from the drama of the daffodils, because from the beginning to the end, Lizi only sees the image, and does not see Catherine's real person.

From the point of view of performance alone, the way this video is performed seems to be somewhat different from that of drama, even if the lines of the play are exactly the same as those uploaded from this video, but the tone used is different.

This is a strange feeling, if you have to make it clear, there are always some moderate exaggerations in the performance of the play, such as using music, dance, and body language to guide the audience, which is also one of the reasons for the high requirements for the actors.

And what I see now is obviously the same line, but the characters in the play speak like ordinary people, just like the tone of everyone's usual speech.

No, there's a huge difference.

Lizi thought about it for a long time, and then finally thought of it.

Daffodil's performance, Lizi Bao dares to say that it is better than everyone in the current video, including Catherine, who has never really been a heroine after all.

But the performance of the daffodils is limited to one stage, and the image in front of her makes Lizzie see that it is all real scenes!

It's impossible for a drama to do.
