"The count of Monte Cristo is officially released in Elroy!"
"According to the statistics of the central railway station, the number of passengers on that day was more than ten times of the usual, and a large number of passengers came to Elroy just to see the mirage."
"The count of Monte Cristo was released free of charge in the central square, attracting more than 50000 viewers on that day!"
"Thunderous applause! The birth of a new art called mirage
"Subvert the traditional drama mode《 "The count of Monte Cristo" is on
In his office, Mr. Pran was browsing through today's newspapers in Elroy. All the newspapers published the release of the film "count of Monte Cristo". As a reviewer of Harvey, he was presented with a VIP movie ticket and went to see it. Pran's evaluation of the phantom of "count of Monte Cristo" has an unimaginable appeal. The phantom makes the plot tension of "count of Monte Cristo", The emotion and plot impact of the characters in the novel are presented to the audience without reservation.
Even workers who have never been in touch with the so-called art and do not know what words are can intuitively experience the mirage of the count of Monte Cristo and the charm of the whole story.
When the phantom is over, everything ends. The extremely touching scene in the novel turns into a movie, and its appeal instantly destroys the psychological defense of all the audience. The applause of the phantom of count of Monte Cristo is still around the ears. That night, when Pulan gets up to clap with tears, he knows how sensational the phantom can cause.
Even as a reviewer, Pran has to admit that the charm of mirage is above the novel.
During this period of time, depending on his relationship with Harvey, the newspapers he founded could often get first-hand information about the phantom of the count of Monte Cristo. This time, there was no exception, and the popularity of the newspapers managed by the publishing house was greatly improved.
"Ding Ding ~"
When the old-fashioned phone on the desk rings, Pran picks up and hears his secretary's voice: "Mr. Pran, a lady named Shirley Adrian wants to meet you."
Pran nodded: "let her in."
After a while, Shirley in her plain clothes came in, bowed slightly, and handed the document in her hand to Pran: "Mr. Garcia, this is the rest of the illustration in the dark age novel."
"Ms. Shirley, may I have a look?"
Shirley nodded calmly: "of course."
Pulan opened the folder. There are more than 20 illustrations in the folder, each of which is exquisite. The thin lines depict each character and scene vividly. The texture of armor or the muscles of monsters make Pulan feel an unprecedented sense of view. No matter how many times I see Pulan, I will be amazed by the illustration by Shirley. Now the painting standard has reached the level of famous artists. What's more, this peculiar style of painting has a high degree of recognition. Even if it can't be recognized by the mainstream, it undoubtedly fits the needs of novel illustration.
Just like the novel in the dark age, it doesn't attach the painter's personal feelings. It tries to restore the scenes depicted in the novel, maintain the authenticity and highlight the atmosphere of the scene.
In such a short period of time, all the illustrations in the dark age have been completed, and some of them have been reset and revised. At the same time, the exquisite level of painting has been retained. Pran's eyes on Shirley are weird. Who are Harvey around? If this elegant woman wants to, she can easily become a famous painter.
"Ms. Shirley, you've really helped me a lot. Now Mr. Adrian's production of the phantom of the count of Monte Cristo has caused such a sensation. Since the illustration of the first volume of the novel in the dark age can be put into printing, the publicity will certainly greatly increase the exposure of the novel."
Shirley chuckled: "well, I'm very happy to help you."
Apart from housework, she devoted all her time to these illustrations. Every detail had been greatly modified. It was a relief for her to finish these illustrations before Harvey got married.
"As always, the illustrations remain at a high level. With these novel illustrations, the dark age can enter the preparatory stage. Please go back and tell Mr. Adrian that the dark age should be published within this week."
Shirley nodded and left the publishing house.
As soon as Shirley left, a male employee of the publishing house came in and saw Pran watching the illustration. He couldn't help asking, "Pran, was that noble lady Meredith?"
"Meredith?" Some did not respond, and then a dumb smile: "Ms. Shirley is indeed the role of Merseyside Tess."
"My God! No wonder they look so alike! At the first sight, I almost called out the name of Meredith. After watching the phantom in the central square last night, I regretted for Meredith for a long time. She is an outstanding and excellent woman, and she should not have such a tragic fate. I should have summoned up the courage to ask for a signature if I knew it Male employees have a look of chagrin.
Pran put away the illustration, stood up and said with a smile: "ask the other group to come with me to the printing factory. Now Mr. Adrian is a hot figure in the kingdom. Taking advantage of the upsurge of the phantom of count of Monte Cristo, we have to prepare for the publicity and publication of the dark age."
Holding Shirley's paintings, Pulan's look is quite complicated, with excitement of looking forward to the future and confusion. The survival of his publishing house depends on it.
