All eyes in the warehouse were focused on Downton, and the actors wanted to see what the indigenous duke could say.
"Don't be pretentious, just tell me!"
Homer hit Downton on the head with a flying strike.
"pain!"
Downton rubbed his forehead, hesitated for a moment, and then decided to say, "Movie!"
"Movie? What is that?"
Madeline frowned deeply, and even Homer did the same. It can be said that they are the people who know the art of opera best in the world, but they have never heard of this term.
"Wrong, it's the Phantom!"
Only then did Downton remember that there was no electricity in this world, so there was no way to talk about movies, but there was magical energy, and the effects it achieved were no worse than electricity.
"Is it a shadow puppet show?"
Madeleine pouted.
"No!" Downton considered his thoughts and began to explain, "The Phantom is a new audio-visual art. It accommodates literature, photography, painting, music, architecture and other arts. It is a real and natural
manifestation!”
Including Homer and Madeleine, these opera practitioners were confused.
"Does Divi Crystal know?"
Downton asked, but got a lot of looks.
"Nonsense, let's get to the point!"
Madeleine urged.
"We usually use Divi crystals to record some scenes and preserve valuable deeds, but have you ever thought about it, if these scenes were filmed into a story, wouldn't it be more realistic than an opera?"
Downton refines the definition of movies and instills it into everyone's mind as simply as possible.
"Yes, opera is too limited. At the very least it can only be performed on the stage, which means it will not be real. It depends on the acting skills of the actors to impress the audience. But The Shadow is different. It is life, a living person.
world!"
Madeline's eyes lit up, and she immediately grasped the essence and characteristics of the demonic shadow, and started talking about it.
Downton was stunned, and then gave a thumbs up in admiration. The leader of the Royal Sisters indeed has a superb understanding of art.
"More than that, the opera is too artificial and exaggerated. This is determined by its performance form. To be honest, many people are not used to it. Even the nobles are worried about being scolded as vulgar, so they have to enter the opera house.
.Show your own elegance, but Moying is different, he is the most authentic expression, and authenticity is the easiest to impress the audience!"
Downton Sermon.
Madeleine nodded frequently as she listened, "Indeed, the sense of immersion in opera is too low, but Phantom is different. In the real world, that's life!"
"How's it going? Are you interested in making a movie about Phantom?"
Downton suggested: Why did he feel peace-keeping after watching "This Killer Is Not So Cold"? Because it is an opera and has lost its original charm.
"How long is a movie? How long does it take to shoot? What are the requirements for actors? There are too many uncertainties, and what we lack most is time!"
Madeline shook her head.
"I'll be responsible for these!"
Downton volunteered. In his dream, he had seen too many movie shoots. He was familiar with these processes, and the plot of this movie could be completed in a tavern. It was not too simple.
"But……"
Madeleine was still worried.
"It's nothing, opera has been developing for many years, and its peak is just like this. Captain Madeleine, throughout history, there have been many great opera companies, but only a few people can leave their names in the history of opera.
, do you think you can?”
Downton looked into Madeline's eyes and asked sincerely.
"I think I can!"
No matter how confident Madeleine is, she still doesn't have the confidence to say this. Art is even different from a rank. You can't climb it unless you work hard.
Times, opportunities, talents, there are so many things needed to be famous in the history of opera. Madeleine couldn't help but feel sad when she thought about the years she had gone through.
"Captain, will you have any more achievements in opera? Can you surpass those predecessors? But now, a new art form is in front of you. As long as you do it, you will be a pioneer and a guide, regardless of the shadows.
No matter what the final development is, you are the first person, and anyone who studies Demon Shadow will definitely understand you!"
Downton's persuasion is simply too tempting. He is a pioneer in an industry and an art. For Madeleine, who is obsessed with art, this is simply the most unbearable poison!
"The repertoire is already like this. In one week, even if you dig up actors who are comparable to those in Black Swan, you won't have time to practice for them. It's better to give it a try, an opera showdown between Toffee and Black Swan, I believe
Many nobles will come to see it, isn’t this the perfect stage for the Phantom to appear?”
Downton's impassioned speech was extremely contagious.
"But if you fail, you will become a laughing stock."
Madeleine hesitated, of course the nobles came back because they wanted to see Downton's jokes.
"I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of?" Downton smiled and stretched out his right hand, "Let's conquer them with the magic shadow, and then conquer the world?"
Madeleine was silent.
The entire warehouse fell silent, and the team members did not dare to breathe and looked at their beloved team leader quietly.
Finally, more than ten minutes later, Madeline held Downton's hand and said, "Well, conquer the world!"
Oh yeah!
The members cheered. Although they were a little confused about the future, they were all sincerely happy for the leader to find a new ideal.
Pippin wiped his tears quietly. After many years, the lady finally stopped being obsessed with opera.
"But, I want to call it a movie!"
When the cheers died down, Madeleine suddenly spoke.
"Why?" Downton was puzzled, "Others don't understand what electricity is?"
"Because I think this word is cool!" Madeleine's reason was simple and ridiculous, "and this is a term I created, so I just want to call it 'movie'!"
Madeleine's meaning is very simple. She wants the movie to appear like lightning, shine in the sky, and make the audience fascinated by it and unable to control themselves!
"You are the leader, you have the final say!"
Downton felt that there seemed to be some laws of fate playing tricks on him, even if he changed his story, the movie still didn't change at all.
Madeleine was a resolute person. Once she made a decision, she would implement it immediately. He arranged for Pippen to find the filming location, but Downton refused.
"It's better for me to go, I know what kind of scene is most suitable." Downton recommended. "A good scene is half the battle!"
"Well, let Pippin come with you and go find the agents. After describing the place, they can help you find it." Madeline said a few words, "Forget it, I'll go too and discuss with you how to shoot!"
After all, this main city is the royal capital of Xueman. It is too easy to find a multi-story hotel. The only trouble is that the story in the dream takes place in summer, but here, it is winter.
"We used Divi crystals for the shooting. There are five pieces in total, ranging from different degrees. When it comes to final editing, we choose the right picture!" Downton described everything he knew.
Madeleine concentrated on taking notes in her notebook with a pen. Even Homer listened with an open mind.
"I can also take pictures, and I can extract whatever pictures you want at any time, and I can even use magic to synthesize anything that doesn't originally exist."
Homer glanced at the pen in the hand of the head sister. Although there was no serial number on the pen, it seemed to be genuine.
"so cool!"
Downton whistled. Homer was like that kind of smart computer, capable of doing anything.
When everything was ready and it was already evening, Madeleine couldn't wait any longer and announced the start of filming.
The actors are completely unaccustomed to it. Although they are performing according to Downton's description, they are very awkward. Even the lead actor sometimes sings operatic tunes.
"cut!"
After several times in a row, Madeleine had to stop and looked at Downton, "This doesn't work, I feel awkward looking at it!"
"This is your first time, so you are inevitably nervous!" Downton clapped his hands, "Everyone, come here and listen to me. You don't have to think about anything. Just treat it as an ordinary life. No need to exaggerate. Just follow what I tell you.
Let’s play the role!”
Downton talked a lot, and the filming started again. Although the effect was better, it was still not good. Madeline was so angry that she wanted to throw the Divi crystal.
"This is not the way to go. They have never made a movie and they don't know how to do it. Only by understanding what you said will they make something deformed."
Homer pointed out the core error to the point.
"That's right, Downton, why don't you give me a demonstration? You should understand, right?"
Madeleine looked at Downton expectantly. Although the filming was not satisfactory, she knew that this would be an art that would change the world when she saw the world through the Divi Crystal.
"Okay!" For the sake of his own reputation, Downton had no choice but to bite the bullet, "Then film the scene after Leon returns to the hotel after killing everyone!
"Well, the lights are ready!"
As Madeleine shouted to start, all the actors present closed their mouths, even slowed down their breathing, and turned their eyes to the stairs opposite.
Da da da!
Amidst the rhythmic footsteps, Downton walked up the stairs holding a bag of freshly baked bread in his left hand and a grocery bag in his right hand. As he walked through the corridor, he saw the door with the 502 sign on it.
He tilted his head.
Madeleine secretly praised her. According to the script, her sister should be beating Matilda at this time. Unexpectedly, Downton acted out all the details.
After carefully checking the mechanism set up on the door, Downton entered the room. When he closed the door, his shoulders relaxed slightly, which suddenly brought the killer into a safe zone and relieved his vigilance.
Performed.
Downton took off his clothes and hung them on the hanger, then sliced the bread, put it on a plate, brought it to the table, and then poured a glass of milk.
There was no rush to eat dinner. Downton took the pot and walked to the balcony to water the Silver Queen placed on it. Then he took out the weapon box from under the bed, opened it, and began to maintain the crossbow and dagger.
Unknowingly, everyone melted into it. When Downton came over and asked how it was, they realized that the performance was over. (To be continued...)
