Josiah took a raw crystal marked '1' with an inscription. After injecting magic power into it, the picture stored in the raw crystal was projected in mid-air. Josiah moved the projection to a smooth wall of the castle.
The cinema-level picture quality that could only be enjoyed on Earth appeared in this ancient castle at this moment.
The lights went out at this moment, and only the picture projected by the raw crystal radiated light. Josiah placed the raw crystal on a table and then returned to the 'auditorium' that was temporarily built with a few chairs at the back.
The movie "Beauty and the Demon" had completed 70% of its shooting progress. The rest was the plot where Gaston led the town to attack the castle.
Even if Josh and the Venerated Skeleton formed an alliance in this part of the plot, he must report to the Venerated Skeleton first.
After all, bringing a bunch of people to someone else's house to smash the place, even if it was just a performance, he must inform the owner.
For this reason, Josiah used this special way to explain his intentions to the Venerated Skeleton.
Therefore, the Venerated Skeleton gloriously became the audience of the world's first movie. Not only the Venerated Skeleton, but also his group of ghost servants.
The movie played as Josiah planned. Josiah was very satisfied with the camera, scene depiction, and even the lighting. The movie's soundtrack was played by the Venerated Skeleton.
At this moment, the entire castle was quiet. Only the dialogue of the characters in the picture could be heard.
Many scenes in the movie were the castle that the Venerated Skeleton was familiar with. As for the village, Hiri watched from the side.
But both the Venerated Skeleton and Hiri were watching the development of the movie attentively. When it came to the critical plot, Josiah even heard the sound of holding his breath.
The same scene could be shot with different camera angles, and the story rhythm and dialogue of the movie itself could not be found in real life.
Josiah thought that the greatest charm of the movie was to tell the audience that 'there are such beautiful things in the world.' Of course, other adjectives could be used to replace the word 'beautiful.'
The essence of a movie was to let the audience experience a different life. Any intelligent creature would always yearn for a life that they never had.
Because the movie was not yet completed, the scene suddenly disappeared halfway through the plot.
"What's next? Why is it gone?! "
Before Hiri could speak, the Venerated Skeleton's voice sounded in the dark hall immediately. The soul fire in his eye sockets flickered as he looked at Josiah again.
"Duke, this movie is not finished …"
At first, Josiah just held the idea of showing the Venerated Skeleton what a movie was, so he placed this primordial crystal in front of the Venerated Skeleton to show the unfinished version of "Beauty and the Demon."
"When will it be finished?"
The Venerated Skeleton admitted that he had begun to look forward to the direction of the plot. At the moment when the movie reached the climax, the screen suddenly turned black. The Venerated Skeleton thought that there was something wrong with Josiah's raw crystal. As a result, Josiah gave the Venerated Skeleton an answer of 'not finished yet.'
This was the second time that Josiah successfully provoked the Venerated Skeleton's urge to roll up his sleeves and beat him up.
"If you agree to let those humans enter your castle for a short walk … I can finish this movie in two days," said Josiah.
"…"
The Venerated Skeleton pondered for a while. His finger bones kept knocking on the handle of the chair as if he was hesitating because of this matter.
"Your Highness, are you serious about wanting me to perform in the human world?"
The soul in the Venerated Skeleton's eye sockets calmed down after that. He signed a covenant with Josiah in order to get Josiah's music score. Josiah's hope that he would go to the human world to hold a concert was regarded as a joke by the Venerated Skeleton.
As a mobile natural disaster, he wants to go to a human city? The Venerated Skeleton had never heard a more terrible joke than this.
But the movie "Beauty and the Devil" touched him, making the Venerated Skeleton believe that maybe Josiah could really change the way humans viewed them.
"I'm serious, and I will write your name at the end of this movie. By then, everyone who watches this movie will know that all the wonderful soundtrack in it is from you," said Josiah.
"Then, Your Highness, please continue. I look forward to the ending of this movie."
Josiah's answer made the Venerated Skeleton make the final decision.
Josiah, who got permission, was about to start shooting the last part, but the Venerated Skeleton took Josiah's hand again.
"Your Highness, can you tell me the ending of this movie in advance? That is … are Belle and the prince together? "
The Venerated Skeleton's curiosity that had been silent for a hundred years was completely aroused by Josiah. He wanted to save the ending until the movie was finished, but the Venerated Skeleton found that he couldn't wait until then.
When the Venerated Skeleton asked this question, the other audiences around him, whether it was Hiri or the ghosts, all looked at Josiah as if they were eager to know the ending of the movie.
"Ugh …"
Josiah felt tremendous pressure being stared at by so many eyes, but in the end, Josiah still told the final result truthfully.
"No."
"What?!"
"The final ending is that the Devil Prince sacrificed himself to protect Belle. Well … he fell in Belle's arms and died."
Josiah suddenly felt chills all over his body, especially when he was stared at by the Venerated Skeleton's soul fire. He had an illusion that his life might be in danger.
"Are you serious?!"
Josiah heard the most terrifying question since he met the Venerated Skeleton. Previously, although the Venerated Skeleton didn't have a good impression of Josiah, he would at least maintain the most basic etiquette as a subject.
But now, the Venerated Skeleton was completely in the posture of 'If you dare to write the ending as a tragedy, believe it or not, I will make you explode instantly with a Death Entanglement!'
Josh recalled some of the tragic stories written by a certain scriptwriter back on Earth. They were simply too brilliant, so brilliant that the audience was moved to tears. In the end, he decided to send that scriptwriter five kilograms worth of blades as a gesture of goodwill.
"Duke, this is a fictional story, and this … is also for the story effect."
"Beauty and the Beast" had been adapted countless times on Earth. The most famous version was the Disney version. In addition, there was a version made by the French.
Josiah made this movie to change human's view of the devil.
Therefore, Josiah's setting for the devil was a prince with half human blood and half demon blood. The prince was cursed, so he could only maintain the demon's posture for life. Only after he fell in love with someone could he return to a human.
In the final ending, Josiah chose to change it to a tragedy. In the end, the devil fell in Belle's arms and died in order to protect Belle.
Tragedy is sometimes more impressive than comedy, isn't it?
But looking at the Venerated Skeleton's reaction, Josiah thought it was necessary to change it to the failure of the curse removal, but the Devil Prince was still very happy to live a shameless life with Belle in the castle.
