Josiah did not explain too much about the performance. The best way to explain it was to let the Knight Of The White Thorn see it with his own eyes. Therefore, Josiah opened his suitcase and took out the master tape of "Beauty And The Devil". He found a flat wall in the room and projected it.
When the screening of the movie ended, Josiah felt that it was time to talk to the Knight Of The White Thorn about the official screening of the movie in the theater.
However, the Knight Of The White Thorn did not seem to have adjusted his state of mind.
"So … sorry … My Lord."
The Knight Of The White Thorn wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with a handkerchief. The makeup on his face was all ruined by his tears.
The sissy-looking fat man looked even more sissy now …
Josiah had only seen movies that were moved to tears after the ending, but the Knight Of The White Thorn's tears started to flow from the middle of the movie, when the Devil Prince tried to save Belle, who was surrounded by a pack of wolves.
Are all literary and artistic workers so emotional? The Knight Of The White Thorn was now washing his face with tears.
"The devil has a truly beautiful heart. In order to live a happy life for the one she loves, she finally chose to abandon her own life. This … this is true love without regrets."
The Knight Of The White Thorn wiped his tears and sighed with emotion about the true content of the story. He uttered a series of nearly a thousand words, leaving Josiah in a daze.
Josiah found that there was a reason why the knight could become the owner of the theater.
As the director, the only meaning Josiah had for this movie was "Don't judge a person based on their appearance". After watching the movie, the Knight Of The White Thorn had more insights than Josiah.
What was a movie review? This was a movie review!
The Knight Of The White Thorn took a few minutes to recover from the sadness he had created.
"Milord … this kind of performance … is really unheard of. It's as if another world has appeared in front of me. May I take the liberty to ask for the name of this performance?"
The Knight Of The White Thorn couldn't understand the principles behind these moving images. He watched as if he was a bystander watching something happen in another world.
Every scene was real, not like the stage props in a stage play. The viewing angle was not as distant as looking from the audience to the stage.
Several times, the Knight Of The White Thorn could not help but reach out to touch the moving furniture.
It was a magical experience that the Knight Of The White Thorn could never imagine.
"Movies."
Josiah used the word 'movie', which was a brand new term for the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"Movies … Movies … Just as you said, Milord, they will create a new era."
The Knight Of The White Thorn repeated the words Josiah said. He clearly understood the meaning of Josiah's words.
A movie's presentation and elaboration of a story were definitely much better than a stage play.
A movie could completely bring the audience into the story … It wasn't like a stage play, where there was a need to decorate the scene and change the costumes. Most importantly, a movie allowed the performance venue to bid farewell to the stage!
The movie "Beauty and the Devil" brought the Knight Of The White Thorn to several places, including a quiet village, a snow-covered forest, and a gloomy yet warm castle.
But apart from being amazed and amazed by the movie, the Knight Of The White Thorn also felt a faint sense of sadness.
Because the beginning of an era represented the end of another. The appearance of movies might officially announce the decline of stage plays. Just like the Knight Of The White Thorn's theater, no matter how glorious it was, it would be forgotten one day.
But this sadness was soon swept away by the appearance of "Beauty and the Devil".
"Milord, do you really intend to … screen this movie in my theater?"
The Knight Of The White Thorn knew that the moment this movie was screened, it would be recorded in the history of this world!
"I don't think the Noland's National Theater will give me such a grand reception."
Josiah raised the cup of hot black tea in his hand and took a sip. As a programmer, Josiah preferred coffee to black tea, but green tea and cola were his favorite drinks.
He just didn't know if there were any coffee beans in this world.
"That's right! Those theater guys are a bunch of despicable liars … They're businessmen who don't know what art is! "
The Knight Of The White Thorn hated the theater that poached all his troupe.
But he quickly adjusted his attitude. These days, even the best artists had to rely on money to make a living. Recently, the theater's continuous losses made Lord Barrowflower realize this, so he knew that the next conversation was not between two artists, but between businessmen.
"Milord, I'll arrange the screening of this movie in the theater, including the publicity work. As for the ticket sales, how about you take 70% of the revenue?"
If it weren't for the fact that Lord White Thorn Flower was so short of money that he couldn't even afford to pay his subordinates, he might have chosen Josh to take 100% of the profits. He only wanted this movie to be broadcast in his theater.
"No problem."
Compared to the movies on Earth, in addition to the box office after the screening, the cinemas had to pay all kinds of publicity fees and taxes, the Knight Of The White Thorn's conditions were very good.
Not to mention that in theory, Josiah didn't have to spend a dime to invest in this movie. It was all a net profit.
"Wait a moment. Let me write a contract. Also, milord, you can register the copyright of this movie and the patent of your technology at the Patent Association."
Noland was a country with the spirit of contracts. At the very least, Noland's laws were very complete. Even the concept of "litigation" was in its infancy.
"I'll do that. Before that, I want to see the environment of this theater."
The theater was large enough and the decorations inside were luxurious enough, but these were all prepared for a stage play. The venue of the performance might also be prepared for a stage play.
There was a certain difference between a cinema and a theater. Before the movie was screened, Josiah wanted to temporarily transform the theater into a cinema.
"Of course, that's not a problem. Please follow me."
The Knight Of The White Thorn stood up and personally brought Josiah around the theater.
When he opened the door, Josiah saw Herland and Hiri waiting outside for almost two hours.
