An unwarranted fear rose from the depths of Lizi's heart, and she couldn't help but want to scream, but was interrupted before she could scream.
"Ms. Lizi, why are you here?"
"It's you!" Lizibao turned around and saw the smiling Wang Qinian, she pointed her finger at him but was speechless for a while, not knowing whether to ask or scold.
"This is my Snow White, the first time shooting, and they are all inexperienced newcomers, very hard, fortunately you supported Catherine, otherwise maybe it wouldn't have been filmed. Wang Qinian said with emotion.
"W-what the hell is going on?"
"You have all seen it, I call this the Shadow Animation, which is somewhat similar to a drama, and it needs to be performed, but the difference is that the actor can perform the same content over and over again until there is a satisfactory time, and I use the power of magic to record this qiē, and then delete the unsatisfactory repetitions, leaving only the most satisfactory performance in that paragraph, and then connecting all the satisfactory parts together to form a complete Shadow Animation. ”
"You're blaspheming the play, and the play is not like that. Lizi said through gritted teeth.
Wang Qinian shrugged, "This is really not a drama, I said, it's called Shadow Animation." But it's kind of born out of a drama, this Snow White seems to be a success now, and I have to thank you, I heard that your Daffodil's performance in the first three days was very sensational, but unfortunately there is always a limit to the number of performances on the stage, unlike my Shadow animation, as long as the filming is finished, I can always show it. ”
"Call Catherine out, I'm going to take her away. Lizi said in a suppressed voice.
"Oh, she's not here now, by the way, Miss Catherine is interested in working with me for the rest of the day. Wang Qinian said with a smile.
-----
Lizzie couldn't remember how she got back to the theater, she just felt dizzy.
But as soon as she returned, Obiel was looking for her.
"Captain Lizzie, can you explain to me why there are two Snow White?" Obiel said in a deep voice.
"That, that script, I mean Snow White, that script was originally given to me by someone else. Lizzie admitted with difficulty, it was useless to conceal it, and Obiel asked, she must have also known that Snow White was being shown in the South End Square.
"What the hell is going on? You need to explain it to me. Obiel said eagerly, "Snow White has achieved better results than before since the beginning of the show, but now another Snow White has suddenly appeared, and the other party does not seem to be a drama, but that, that thing they call the Shadow Animation has actors from your troupe." ”
Lizzie screamed in annoyance, she really shouldn't have agreed to lend Catherine in the first place, otherwise she wouldn't have to explain it to Obier, but reason told her that if she didn't lend Catherine, she might not have gotten Snow White's script in the first place, but now it seems that the trouble of getting this script is greater than not getting it.
After she came back from the South District Plaza, she had a faint fear in her heart, as if she had seen some monster that could destroy herself, and this monster seemed to be released by herself?
No, even if that Owen hadn't encountered Daffodils, he would still have made this thing, but it might take a little longer, and it might not be the Daffodil Troupe.
Wait, it seems......
Lizzie was stunned, for a moment she seemed to have captured something, but she couldn't remember it.
"Captain Lizi?" Seeing that she had not replied, but was in a daze, Obiel was a little impatient.
From a purely commercial point of view, Obiel attaches far more importance to the connection related to this incident than Lizzie, so he immediately summoned Lizzie to ask.
Obiel, like Lizzie, went to watch the hottest Shadow anime of the past two days, and he was shocked.
From a businessman's point of view, he immediately understood the pros and cons of Shadow animation and drama.
Commercially speaking, the direct advantage of Shadow Animation is that it can be screened in a loop from morning to evening.
Drama is a temporary performance on the stage, the actor is limited by body and energy, the number of performances a day is limited, and some particularly difficult plays can be performed once a day, not counting the rehearsal time.
And Obiel keenly felt that the audience of the two might also be different, and the audience of the theater was concentrated in the upper class, because theater has always been regarded as one of the symbols of the aristocracy in entertainment.
Therefore, the ticket price of drama has always been higher, but Shadow Animation has broken this point, its ticket price is only a fraction of that of drama, but it is more popular with the lower class, which means that the market has expanded.
On the surface, it seems that the unit price has decreased, but as the audience expands to a larger base, the income will increase, and the audience of the original drama will also be included, although it may take a little time for the upper class to accept this in a short time.
The reason why the lower classes are more acceptable is that the form of the Shadow animation is more popular, and Obiel has to admit that the popular is more suitable for the plot of Snow White.
And now drama also needs to break through, and if it continues to be dominated by religious drama, people will become less and less interested in drama.
And when this qiē is taken together, there is only one conclusion, that is, Obiel has a strong opponent, and an opponent that is enough to overthrow the Liberty Grand Theater is emerging, so Obiel is eager to know the details.
But before she could tell him what she knew, Obiel's men had already reported that a man who called himself Owen Solomon wanted to see Obiel.
"It's him, it's him, he dares to come here, this liar. Lizzie exclaimed.
"Oh, Lady Lizzie, it's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind your back. Wang Qinian smiled and walked into the room.
"I have seen you, Mr. Solomon, and it seems that you once went to my theatre to buy a ticket to see a play by the Daffodil Theatre Company. "Obier's memory is very good.
"Yes, Mr. Obier. ”
"And what do you want to tell me about your coming here today?" Obiel said politely, even though he knew that this young man might be his biggest rival in the future.
Wang Qinian glanced at Lizibao, the woman looked at him fiercely like a lioness.
He coughed dryly before saying, "I'll be blunt, I'm here to work with Mr. Obier." ”
"Cooperation?" Obiel couldn't help but froze.
Also stunned was Lizi Bao, how could the two of them guess Wang Qilai's purpose, and they didn't guess that he still wanted to cooperate with Obier.
"Cooperation, and you liar?" said Lizzie angrily, because she was so angry, although she was wearing a men's top, the curve of her towering breasts could not be concealed in front of the man's eyes.
"Cooperation, how to cooperate, I don't understand what you mean. "Obiel wasn't in the mood to appreciate the beauty of the beauty.
"Mr. Obier, you are a successful businessman, haven't you seen that there is a basis for cooperation between the two of us?"
"You mean......" Obiel said uncertainly.
"Let the Shadow Animation be staged in your Grand Theater. ”
"No!" she screamed angrily.
Obiel glanced at Lizi, he could fully understand her mood now, so he hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm sorry, I've decided to cooperate with the Daffodil Troupe and invite them to be the resident troupe." ”
Wang Qinian sighed and said: "Mr. Obier, you are a good person, but you can't stop anything like this, on the contrary, you will throw away the opportunity that is beneficial to you." Now I can only show the Shadow anime in the South Plaza, so the richest guests in Liberty City won't come to my venue, and they will only show up in your theater because of their status, even if they are very curious, but do you think it will continue like this?"
Obier's color changed slightly, what Wang Qinian said was the current situation, Wang Qinian's shadow animation is still far from reaching the level of a movie theater, but like a video hall.
Divided by customer base, Wang Qinian now attracts low-end customers, while high-level customers are still all in Obier, and middle-level customers may watch both dramas and shadow animations.
But will it always be like this, Obiel is absolutely not sure.
Sure enough, Wang Qinian said bluntly: "What is the advantage of Shadow Animation over drama, Mr. Obier must also know that if you are not willing to cooperate with me, I have to find someone else to cooperate, and if no one in the Free City is willing to cooperate, I have to cooperate with Modo or Asturian businessmen." Mr. Obier, I am very sincere, what I lack is time, to get your cooperation, we can all make money, and I can save a lot of time, so far, you are still the most suitable collaborator in my eyes. ”
Obiel couldn't help but be moved, and he couldn't help but glance at Lizi again, whose face had turned pale.
Even Lizibao has to admit that if she is Obier, she will be tempted, since it is impossible to stop Wang Qinian's shadow animation, why not be this collaborator yourself?
"Mr. Obier, thank you very much for not agreeing to him in the first place, which saved me a little face. "I shouldn't be an obstacle between you, but I won't beg for anything, because when I was deceived by a man at the age of seventeen, I knew that begging was the most useless thing to do." ”
Lizzie stood up, her hands covering her face, ready to run out, no less sad than she had been when she had been abandoned ten years ago.
What was destroyed that time was feelings, and this time what was destroyed was the fulcrum of ideals and survival.
She didn't know what to do now, what she would do in the future, how to face everyone, and told everyone that she was about to embark on the road of her dreams, but fell from the clouds at the moment when she was looking forward to a first-class theater company.
She didn't know.
All she knew was that she had to run out anyway, because tears were running down her fingers, because there was no place for her in this room.
Just like when she left the man, even though the lightning was thundering and the rain was pouring outside, she still ran out barefoot.
It wasn't until her head hit a soft chest that Lizibao stood in amazement.
Looking through his fingers, it was Wang Qinian's hateful face, and Mr. Obier's exclamation came from his ears.
"You, what are you going to do?"
"What else do you want to do? Haven't you humiliated me enough?" Lizzie bravely let go of her hands stained with warm tears, and her grief turned to anger.
However, Wang Qinian's next sentence was stunned by Lizibao and Obier.
"I'm stopping you because I want to know why you'd rather leave than cooperate with me?"
Wang Qinian's tone was light, as if he was saying something inadvertent, but for Lizibao, it was like thunder.
The inspiration that had flashed at first, but had not really been captured, resurfaced at this moment.
At the same time, it was also confirmed from Wang Qinian's mouth, "The cooperation I just talked about is, of course, for everyone in this room, including the Daffodil Troupe." As I said earlier, I don't mind getting rich together, I mind time even more. Mr. Obier can provide the Grand Theater, I can provide the script and the Shadow Animation, and the Daffodil Theatre Company has ready-made actors, yes, I can find another collaborator for the theater and the troupe, but that will take me more energy and time, why not just do we work together?"
"Our daffodils are better suited to your Shadow animation than a first-class theater company. Because the first-class theater company will inevitably refuse to let go of the glory that it already has, and choose to believe that you can't fully prove the Shadow Animation. And the Daffodil Troupe happens to be just a second-rate reluctant troupe, still struggling to climb up, and will not let go of any opportunities. Lizi said slowly, but as she spoke, her former self-confidence gradually recovered.
Wang Qinian smiled and applauded, "That's not bad at all, so at the beginning, I said that Mr. Obier's Grand Theater is my best choice at the moment, and now I can add that the Daffodil Theater is also my best choice, and I am also your best choice, since it is the best choice for all three parties, what reason is there not to cooperate together, but to compete with each other? In that case, even if I win, I will pay an additional price." ”
"One last question. Lizi was completely calm, and the bright light returned to her cheeks, where the tears had not faded.
"What was your purpose in creating the Shadow Animation?"
"To make money, of course. Wang Qinian said, and then he pressed it on his chest with a saluting gesture and bowed slightly.
"By the way, I forgot to introduce that I'm now a quartermaster under Lord Franklin in the Free City, and Miss Agatha's language teacher, but I'm also a magician. ”
