Ten minutes ago, after Madam Marina completed the financial statement, Josiah's study welcomed a new guest, the Knight Of The White Thorn.
Since the White Thorn Theatre had consecutively released the two movies "Beauty and the Devil" and "This Devil Is Not Too Cold", the White Thorn Theatre's popularity had been pushed to an unprecedented height.
The Knight Of The White Thorn swore that if it weren't for the two movies shot by Josiah, the White Thorn Theatre would have long been turned into a pile of ruins by his old rival.
It was the appearance of Josiah that saved the theatre on the verge of bankruptcy and made the White Thorn Theatre achieve a historical achievement.
"Your Highness Josiah."
The Knight Of The White Thorn walked into the study and took off the hat on his head. Since he knew the true identity of Josiah, a prince from the Realm of Devils, he had changed to address Josiah as Your Highness.
"Is it really okay for you to walk on the street in this dress?"
Josiah looked at the slightly chubby middle-aged actor and theater manager. Whether it was his hairstyle or dress, it reminded Josiah of the number one villain in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold", Stanfield.
"Occasionally, I would be recognized by people and then treated as Mr. Stanfield, but under the mediation of my guards, nothing serious happened. There were even a few little girls who asked me for my autograph."
The Knight Of The White Thorn would indeed be recognized by the fans of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold" if he walked on the street in this dress, but his treatment was not as good as that of Pluck who played the male lead, Leon.
Most of the time, they were treated as heinous villains by the fans and bombarded with magic to vent the resentment they had accumulated for this character in the movie.
Although it was very dangerous to wear this dress, the Knight Of The White Thorn seemed to be very happy with it.
"Autograph? It seems that the character of Stanfield is quite charming. So, Knight Of The White Thorn, why are you looking for me this time? "
Josiah did not participate in the internal management of the White Thorn Theatre, nor did he doubt the loyalty of the Knight Of The White Thorn.
If Josiah guessed correctly, the Knight Of The White Thorn was likely to be a servant of the Venerated Skeleton, and the Venerated Skeleton had also cast some kind of magic on this human descendant.
Josiah could easily deprive the other's life through the imprint from the Venerated Skeleton on his palm.
"Your Highness Josiah, this is the latest sales statistics of the White Thorn Flower Theater. I've already deposited the portion that belongs to you into the bank."
The Knight Of The White Thorn took out a thick account book and handed it to Josiah. Josiah flipped through it roughly, and every income was more than the Third Prince had ever seen in his life.
The box office of the movie was indeed a huge income. Although the Hearthstone card pack was also a considerable income, it was the income of the movie that really supported Josiah's assets.
"Also, my servant told me that the manager of the Noland National Theater, the businessman who doesn't understand art, is planning to sell the theater."
The Knight Of The White Thorn was an artist with a dream. He was once on the verge of bankruptcy because of his dream, and the official Noland National Theater that forced him into bankruptcy was the official Noland National Theater.
After Josiah came, everything changed. The Knight Of The White Thorn not only completed his lifelong dream but also completely defeated the conspiracy of his old opponent.
"After the Black Swan left, the Noland National Theater really had no bargaining chips to resist … But I didn't expect the manager of the theater to sell it so decisively. What about the troupe that used to work under this theater?"
After staying in Noland for so long, Josiah had long understood the working model of this world's theaters.
Generally speaking, every theater would try to nurture its own troupe. The Knight Of The White Thorn had once nurtured two well-known troupes in Noland, but they were later poached by the Noland National Theater.
"That despicable businessman has already treated them like merchandise and sold them along with the theater. Your Highness Josiah, there are still many actors with potential in those troupes."
The Knight Of The White Thorn was ultimately not a qualified businessman, but a humane artist. He was introducing the actors who were about to lose their homes to Josiah.
"Gather those actors. I can give them a chance, but tell them that other than acting skills, I also need loyalty. They are not merchandise that can be lured away with money."
Josiah's voice was calm. The Knight Of The White Thorn looked at the young man sitting behind the desk. To be honest, he couldn't sense any temperament that a ruler should have from Josiah …
However, the Knight Of The White Thorn still felt a chill down his spine when he heard Josiah's words. He deeply understood that the person sitting in front of him was not a 'human', but a 'dangerous Chaos Demon'.
"Understood, Your Highness Josiah. I will pass the message to them."
The Knight Of The White Thorn bowed to Josiah and left the study.
Josiah watched as the Knight Of The White Thorn left the study and yawned. Then, he picked up a pile of movie scripts in the study.
In order to raise her level as a spellcaster, Hiri had applied for leave from Josiah to go to the Spell Caster Association for an assessment. The leave would last for about a week.
The departure of the sorceress made Josiah feel a little uncomfortable. Or perhaps … he wasn't used to not having her to complain about him?
Josiah put these strange thoughts aside and began to think about the plan for the next movie.
Sure enough, the most direct way to test an actor was to let him participate in the shooting of a movie, and the audition was the first step.
Josiah intended to make a story about the feelings between humans and animals for his next movie. "Beauty and the Demon" and "This Demon Is Not Too Cold" had begun to gradually change people's impression of demons.
But Josiah needed a movie that could move other races to tears after watching it, such as … the elves.
While Josiah was checking the script, Ino happened to walk into Josiah's study with today's dinner. The succubus was holding two dinners in her hands. One was for Josiah, and the other was for Taylin.
"Ino, ask Taylin to come to my study after the broadcast."
"Sister Taylin … Oh … I understand, Your Highness Josiah."
When Ino heard that Josiah asked him to look for Taylin, his body trembled slightly. Even the tail that was unique to demons behind him curled into a ball.
"Don't mind what Taylin does to you too much. Sometimes, if you can't resist it, just enjoy it silently."
Of course, Josiah knew that the Frost Elf had recently developed a strange hobby. Josiah had no intention of stopping her. After all, although Ino said that she didn't want it, she actually seemed to be enjoying it.
"Okay …"
