Chapter 83

Harvey explained the function of photographic crystal once again, because there are similar magic imaging technologies in this world, so it's not difficult for them to understand.

The interpretation of "Mirage (film)" is much more complicated. The most important thing is to let them understand the difference between "mirage" and drama. "Mirage" is a performance just like drama. "Mirage" has no stage restrictions of drama, and does not need actors to play on the spot, so it has more room for operation.

Maxwell, the boss of Brenda theatre company, only uses shallow knowledge of drama to deduce this. He can't imagine more possibilities, and he can't understand most of Harvey's explanation. However, he knows that the so-called photography function alone is enough to subvert the meaning of drama and achieve completely different performance effects.

As an important revenue, Brenda theatre sells the stereoscopic projection of the recorded drama performance, which is usually stored in a magic crystal and sold to some distinguished nobles or businessmen for collection. Secondly, theater will buy this kind of magic crystal and put it in the theater for projection to attract guests. There are many theatres all over the country, and there are only a few well-known touring troupes. Instead of hiring some semi skilled troupes to perform, it's better to buy the cheaper magic crystal projection to attract the audience.

The theater run by Evan's family will play projection crystals purchased from different well-known drama groups in turn when there is no performance by drama troupes. Naturally, the visual effect is not as good as that of live performance, because of its low price and random playing time and frequency. Most of the civilians would choose to see the projection rather than the real theater performance.

If photography crystal can do this, it will have a large operational space.

The picture of photographic crystal projection does not have the sense of three-dimensional, but the corresponding clarity and sense of space are much larger. There is no illusion of three-dimensional projection, and the actual visual experience is half the same as that of high-end three-dimensional projection.

"I don't need you to perform drama. It's beyond the scope of drama." phantom "is making a real story. Edmond is the captain, so I have to provide him with a real sailing boat. When Edmond escapes from the cliff, the actor has to jump off the cliff. When Edmond finds the legendary treasure, I have to shoot the picture of a rich country. " When the sample film was played, Harvey talked about his understanding of "phantom".

"It's not a performance in the traditional sense, it's about letting the actors be their characters. Not to tell a story, not to complete a performance, to abandon all the flashy elements, to integrate into reality, we are creating a world! We can freely set the scene and the fate of different characters. When the audience watch the "phantom", they don't realize that they are watching a work. They feel more like they are watching the experience of a real person. Then the "phantom" I defined is more than half successful

·····

After listening to Harvey's explanation, Maxwell thought that photography crystal could really accomplish this, but he wanted a crucial point and asked in a dignified tone: "Mr. Adrian, I understand your hope, but the actor is required to complete the performance in the real scene. Regardless of the actor's own requirements, can he really make those scenes perfectly? Manpower and financial resources are indispensable, and the cost must be astronomical. "

Harvey looked at Maxwell with a sharp and resolute eye and said, "it's not something you need to worry about. You're just actors. You just need to know whether you can play that role well. The "phantom" of the count of Monte Cristo really requires a lot of money, but high risk also means high return. Once the photography is completed, a new form of drama with higher expressive power than words and better sense of picture than projection will appear, and what kind of sensation it will cause in the kingdom can be imagined. "

The photographic crystal was developed by Harvey. Harvey paid for the investment alone. Brenda theater only needs to act as a good actor.

Harvey sat up straight and said slowly in a dignified voice: "we are the pioneers, just like human beings have completed the first history of heroic poetry with words. The value of this is not simply measured by money."

After listening to Harvey's words, everyone fell into silence. Harvey's description made their blood boil, and they couldn't help feeling unreal.

Jared, the young nobleman, spread out his hands and said with a smile, "Harvey, although I'm still a little confused about what you want to do, it sounds very attractive. If there's anything I can do for you, I and the theater are willing to help."

It's easy to say, he also knows that there is an opportunity to change the fate of him and even the Evan family in front of him. He holds his hands tightly, and this opportunity can't be missed.

Brenda theater is just acting as an actor. From the moment Harvey takes out the photographic crystal, Maxwell is willing to work with Harvey even if he doesn't pay for it. This is definitely a historic moment that can change the development of drama. Now Maxwell is at the center of this event. If other drama companies know this news, they will try to get in and fight for their acting qualification.

Once successful, the name of Brenda theatre company will be engraved in the history of drama development, and it will also bring them unprecedented popularity and fame?

Maxwell drew back his thoughts from Harvey's blueprint for the future, gazed at Harvey's voice and cut off the railway: "Mr. Adrian, we Brenda theatre are very happy to cooperate with you. I will make the actors ready as soon as possible, and you can even appear tomorrow if you need to."

Harvey expected this development. He looked around at the three and said with a smile, "it's good, but it's not that simple. I still need to adapt the count of Monte Cristo into a script. You also need to choose the actors who are most suitable for the role, and you also need to screen the scenes“ "Phantom" is not a drama. The structure of drama is very simple. If you are prepared, you can complete the performance in one day. It takes at least several months for "phantom" to accumulate, and dozens or even hundreds of people work together. Since there is no objection, I will bring a schedule to arrange all the preparations tomorrow. "

Next, with the help of the middle caster Kenneth, Harvey explains to them all the functions of photographic crystal. If they want to fully understand "phantom", they need to start with the most basic concept of photography. The casters who are good at magic basically have a better understanding than ordinary people on the visual level. If they don't have it, then the magician can't make magic that can deceive the five senses.

Fully understand the actual function of photographic crystal, Maxwell more or less understood what Harvey really wanted to use photographic crystal to shoot out of the "phantom" in the end.

Unlike drama, which requires live performance, "phantom" after shooting can be stored in other magic crystals like stereo projection and clearly projected on the white cloth, but the visual experience is not affected.

In fact, even Harvey is half of the level when it comes to the real "Mirage (movie)". He mostly studies and sells now. He expresses his own ideas through the impression of movies in his last life. People's visual experience can not be explained simply by clarity. Harvey decides to take a good look at montage's shooting technique knowledge when he goes back. There are also many places for improvement in photography crystal.
