Chapter seven hundred and seventy-two new drama

After confirming that there were really only a bunch of magic parts and crystal arrays on the stage, the Earl of Bahrain believed that he had mastered the essence of this so-called "new drama".

It's not a clever new technology, but he still wants to praise it, it's an amazing idea.

Record traditional dramas in the crystal of the movie, and then use the magic network terminal to play repeatedly and play a large range of plays, turning a drama into a "commodity" that can be continuously copied and reproduced. The cheap magic device instantly reduces the cost of this "drama" to an incredible level, but its effect will not be discounted.

Therefore, there will be such a "popular" theater, only the original price of only 6 el, and the "new-style drama" that can be watched by ordinary citizens at will.

There is no doubt that this is in line with the "new order" that His Majesty Gowen Cecil strongly advocates promotion, and in line with the two core elements of "technology serves the public" and "laid the foundation for mass production".

No wonder this thing was strongly supported by the Government Affairs Department, so it could be promoted so widely in the imperial capital.

The Earl of Bahrain could see this, and basically everyone else present could see that - the ones who followed Victoria were not stupid, and in the process of maintaining the operation of the Government Affairs Office of the Old Kings, they also came into contact with many cases of magic technology. At least in terms of understanding and association, they could easily guess how this new drama was implemented - the technology itself was not surprising, but they still admired those who could think of this good idea: in such a time of rapid development, being able to come up with good ideas is an amazing ability.

After thinking through this, the Earl of Bahrain adjusted his posture on the chair and prepared to watch the content that will be presented on the stage from a relatively comfortable angle - the surroundings were crowded with people, the seats were not spacious enough, and there were no high-level servants providing services, no desserts for leisure time and private terraces. This was not a comfortable viewing environment, but it might not be a novel and interesting experience.

Not long after he adjusted his posture, a ringtone came from nowhere.

There was a light rising on the stage.

In the hall that seemed a little chaotic the moment before, the voices gradually decreased. The civilians who entered the "theater" for the first time finally calmed down. They saw the crystal array on the stage light up little by little in the brilliance of magic, and then, a holographic projection rose from the air.

Many people understand that this should be similar to the Magic Network terminal that plays programs on the street, but this does not affect their focus on the content presented on the projection.

After a brief advertisement introducing Codd Family News Company and indicating that Codd Family News Company is one of the investors of this drama, Magic Film Series ushered in the opening. The first thing that caught everyone's eyes was a messy street and a group of children running and fighting between mud and sand.

There are no castles, no knights, no princesses who come to folk tours, and no gardens and fountains overlooking the manor terrace.

There are only one character who lives in the city and walks between the streets and alleys, trying to maintain food and clothing.

The Earl of Bahrain frowned in confusion, and several people around him frowned in confusion.

Victoria Wilder just looked at all this expressionlessly.

The camera moves between the crisscrossing alleys, passing through a crowd of people who bargain loudly, work hard, and cried and laughing. It seems not a stage of arrangement, but just a pair of eyes passing through an old city - this city does not exist, but is extremely real. It shows something in a straightforward manner that seems strange to the Earl of Bahrain but very familiar to most people in the hall.

That was where they had lived, and their former neighbors - and themselves.

...

In a room next to the screening hall, Gao Wen sat next to a monitor. The monitor presented a picture that was exactly the same as on the "stage". Around him, the room was filled with various magic devices, and several magic technicians were staring at the equipment with all their concentration to ensure the smoothness of the first screening.

Gao Wen's eyes were withdrawn from the monitor.

He had watched the entire Magic Film drama in advance, and to be honest, this drama is really a very simple story for him.

It only tells the story of a few young people living in the north. Because of the difficulties in life, the road ahead is slim and the outbreak of the Northern War, they have to sell their property and leave their hometown with their families, take a mechanical boat to cross half of the country, and come to the south to start a new life.

In the middle, there are various human aspects on the immigration boat, telling the story of a series of small people-

A taciturn watchmaker was framed for being absent-minded and expelled from his hometown, but found a new place to settle in a factory in the south; an old couple who were separated from their only son in the war wanted to join their relatives, but by chance they set foot on the immigrant ship. When they were about to get off the ship, they found that the "gear monster" who had always stayed in the mechanical cabin at the bottom of the ship was actually their son who had lost their memory in the war; a down-and-out mercenary chased by enemies stole a ticket to get on the ship, and tried hard to pretend to be a decent knight. When the ship passed the war zone blockade, they bravely stood up like a real knight, dealing with the officers who wanted to get on the ship and search for property in the name of inspection, protecting a pair of brothers and sisters on the ship without a pass...

In this magic drama, Philm and his friends do not pursue any sensational court conspiracy or empty preaching metaphors. The only thing they are doing is to do everything they can to tell a good story.

Make them happen as if they are actually happening around you.

"Its plot is not complicated," Gao Wen turned his head and looked at Philm, who was standing not far away, with a nervous face and fidgeting face, "easy to understand."

"Yes, yes, your majesty," Film said in a panic, "it's...it's a bit simple indeed..."

Gao Wen smiled and shook his head: "No, I'm not picking up the problem, on the contrary, I think this is just right. What it needs is easy to understand in the first magic drama."

This is not to comfort Film, but to what he thought was indeed the case.

Gao Wen is not short of thrilling, bizarre and wonderful script ideas. In fact, in such an era of lack of spiritual entertainment, he could easily search in his mind that there were countless stories that exceeded contemporary dramas in terms of plot structure, suspense settings, world background, etc., but if it were the script of the first magic drama, those things might not be suitable.

The first magic drama is for the public, and most of these audiences have never even watched even the simplest drama in their entire lives.

The story is too tortuous and bizarre, they may not understand it, the story is too far away from their lives, they may not be able to watch it, the story is too rich in connotation and profound in metaphors, and they may even think that "magic drama" is a boring thing, and from then on, it will be difficult to promote it.

In Gao Wen's opinion, it is much more appropriate to ask a "local" to write a story for "locals" than to collect several legends from his mind about the other world - the latter has to work hard to process it in line with the local world view, and it may not necessarily arouse the public's interest after processing.

"To be honest, there are many things in this story that I know for the first time," Elevin said with a slightly shy smile beside Philm. "My father is right. I should come out to see the world and learn something."

While speaking, the heir from the West looked at his friend on the other side, with a little curiosity on his face: "Fendil, what's wrong with you? Why have you been restless since the beginning?"

"I... nothing, maybe it's an illusion," Fendir, who has short silver hair and tall and elegant figure, seemed a little nervous and worried at this moment. He smiled and shook his head, "I felt a little bad since the beginning, and it seemed to be in trouble."

Film suddenly became nervous: "Are you saying there will be something wrong with today's 'premiere'?"

Powerful extraordinary people often have some "intuitive premonition" that ordinary people cannot understand. Film does not understand this very well and only thinks that this intuition will be something like "prophecy". Therefore, when he hears Fendir's words, he can't help but feel nervous.

"No, it's not in this regard," Fendir quickly waved his hand to his friend. "Be confident, Philm, your work is excellent - look at Miss Amber's expression, she obviously likes this magic drama."

Next to the monitor, Amber looked at the picture on the holographic projection without blinking, as if she had been completely immersed in it, but after Fendir finished speaking, her ears trembled and said without looking back: "It's really good - at least some details are quite real. The mercenary who steals the ship ticket - his trick is superficial, but it is indeed very particular. Have you specially asked someone to guide him?"

"We went to the Public Security Bureau several times for this," Film lowered his head embarrassedly, "The actor who played the mercenary is actually a thief... I mean, he was a thief before."

"No," Gao Wen laughed, "I mean your serious attitude is very good."

As he said, he turned his head and his eyes seemed to pass through the wall, looking at the direction of the projection hall next door.

Not only Philm and others have a good attitude to produce magic dramas.

Fendir's intuition...it seems pretty good.

...

During the more than two-hour screening, the hall was quiet.

This seemed a bit incredible to a group of civilians who entered the theater for the first time, and to the Count of Bahrain, who sat with so many civilians for the first time.

Halfway through the Magic Movie Drama, the Earl of Bahrain realized one thing: except as the background in the picture, castles, manors, palaces and other things probably won't really appear.

Apart from the mercenary who pretended to be a knight and the few old noble knights who were obviously villains, the "knight" should really not appear.

Narration psalms, heroic monologues, priests who symbolize gods and philosophers who symbolize wise nobles, these should not appear.

The story is not complicated, and at least to the Earl of Bahrain - it is not too interesting either.

Most of the things inside are incomprehensible, incomprehensible, and resonate with this nobleman from the royal capital.

But he still watched the whole story seriously and noticed that everyone in the hall had been completely immersed in the story of "The Magic Movie Drama".

When the story was coming to an end, the Highland Man, which had experienced bumpy tests, had survived war blockades, and had survived monsters and mechanical failures, finally arrived at the port city in the south safely. The audience was surprised to find that a figure they were very familiar with also appeared in the scene of the Magic Movie drama - the beloved Miss Witch played a guest role in a receptionist responsible for registering immigration in the play. Even the famous businessman, Mr. Cod, the owner of the Cod Family Communications Company, also played a guide on the dock.

The ending method of the whole story is strange: after the subtitles of "years later", the image appears on the picture are immigrants who have settled in the southern region. They use memories to describe their previous experiences on the boat and their experiences starting to live in a new home. The last scene of the Magic Movie Drama is composed of dozens of small screens taken together, and dozens of characters say the last line in the projection:

"Yes, that's how we start a new life."

The picture gradually faded, and the list of actors began to appear on the holographic projection screen.

The Earl of Bahrain breathed a sigh of relief and was about to get up, but a gentle voice suddenly came from the seat behind him:

"Yes, that's how we start a new life..."

The Earl of Bahrain was stunned for a moment, and before he could turn his head in the sound, he heard more sounds coming from nearby:

"Yes, that's how we start a new life..."

Many people were still looking at the direction of the extinguished crystal array, and many were still repeating the last line softly.

Ninety-nine percent of the people in this city are immigrants, or refugees.

They have experienced everything in the story - leaving their hometowns, taking root in strange lands, working, building their own houses, and ploughing their own land...

No story can impress the people sitting here like "Immigration".

Gradually, there were finally applause, and the applause became louder and louder, gradually resounding throughout the hall.

Amid the applause coming from around, the Earl of Bahrain suddenly heard the voice of Victoria Wilder into his ears:

"They came here to see other people's stories, but they saw themselves in the stories.
