Josiah sat in the private screening room of the White Thorn Theatre with a glass of juice in his hand.
The lights in the screening room were very bright. All the actors of the Knight Of The White Thorn's troupe were gathered here. Their eyes were fixed on Josiah, who was sitting in the audience.
Josiah wanted to focus his attention on the movie that was being shown on the screen behind the actors, but Josiah felt that several actresses in the troupe were looking at him strangely.
It's not an illusion … Hiri sensed the strange gazes of the actresses and glared back at them one by one.
If those actresses were flirting with Josh, then Hiri was probably releasing some kind of ray magic to blast those flirtatious glances into smithereens.
"Mr. Josiah, how do you feel?"
The Knight Of The White Thorn was not aware of the anxious situation here. The movie Josiah was watching was "Notes Of Misery", which he directed.
He did not have a good evaluation of the quality of the movie, but the box office showed the gap between it and the movies produced by Josiah.
"I think it's pretty good."
Josiah tried his best to ignore the group of actors standing in the audience. He wanted to know the development of the movie on the screen.
The story of the Knight Of The White Thorn's own movie was indeed interesting. Unfortunately, the scenes in the movie were too poor. In terms of filming and cinematography, it could be said that he was at the beginner level.
"I remember there are several new movies that have been released in the theater recently?"
Josiah remembered seeing many movie posters that he had never seen before in the lobby of the theater.
"Yes, these are the records of the movies that have been released. Most of them are from Falosi."
The Knight Of The White Thorn handed a record book to Josiah. Josiah opened the record book and flipped through the movies recorded in it.
The themes of the movies were all 'love', 'revolution', 'literature' and 'satire'.
As expected of the Renaissance literati. Josiah had a Shakespearean style just by looking at the names of the movies.
The movies produced by the Knight Of The White Thorn were mainly artistic. Compared to movies, they were closer to stage plays and biographies. Was this an occupational hazard?
"Are these all adapted from stage plays?" Josiah asked.
The Knight Of The White Thorn said as he pointed at a movie named 'Marriage And Burial' on the record. "Yes, there's also another one of Falosi's most popular stage plays. However, it's been too long. After Lady Sizer filmed it into a movie, she injected a whole new life into it!"
"Don't Falosi have scary scripts in his plays?" Josiah asked.
"Horror? Do you mean the kind of stage plays that use ghosts and flesh to attract people? To us, those are third-rate scripts in the countryside. They can't even be called performances. Therefore, His Majesty the King has already banned these kinds of scripts, "the Knight Of The White Thorn said.
"It seems like the treatment of horror movies is the same everywhere."
In Josiah's memory, horror movies were rarely shown in the cinema. In the eyes of some academic directors, horror movies on Earth were third-rate.
"But it doesn't matter. It's only stage plays that are banned, not movies."
Josiah handed two pieces of paper to the Knight Of The White Thorn.
"I'll give you the detailed script tonight. Before that, I'll have to ask you to choose suitable actors. There are three relatively young actors that might be a little difficult to choose. If you can't find them …" Josh glanced at Ciri, who was shooting a 'Kill a Little B * tch' laser at the side.
"I'll use the illusion to think of a solution."
"New script? Finally … "
The Knight Of The White Thorn held the two pieces of paper that Josiah handed to him as if he was holding a bible, even though the two pieces of paper only had a few words related to the script.
"Also! The filming location this time isn't in Noland. We need to use the Teleportation Portal to shoot in Assequero. "
"Assequero … Where is that?" The Knight Of The White Thorn recalled the names of cities in various countries, but he couldn't find a city called Assequero.
"You'll know tonight." Josiah pointed at the actors standing below. "Can you stop them from standing there? I want to finish watching the movie you filmed. "
"No problem …"
The Knight Of The White Thorn quickly asked the actors to leave the theater. He thought that Josiah was here to choose new actors.
He followed the actors out of the private theater. The moment he stepped out of the theater, the Knight Of The White Thorn glanced at the paper in his hand excitedly.
The first piece of paper had a line of English words written on it. If it was read aloud, it would be called "The Shining"!
… …
Two o 'clock in the night.
The Knight Of The White Thorn couldn't sleep. He followed Josiah's instructions and began to look for suitable candidates in the White Thorn Flower Troupe.
However, the requirements for the actors in this script were a little harsh, especially for a six-year-old boy as the male lead and two nine-and ten-year-old twin girls.
The youngest actor in the history of Falosi was indeed six years old, but that actor was now an old man in his seventies.
How good could a six-year-old child's acting skills be?
But the Knight Of The White Thorn still didn't give up. The two pieces of paper only had descriptions and basic impressions of the characters in the movie.
This alone was enough to make the Knight Of The White Thorn's imagination run wild. The story of the father, the mother, and the child.
Could it be a heartwarming family comedy? The Knight Of The White Thorn looked at the requirements for the role of the 'father', which included 'rich facial expressions' and 'able to perform hysterics'.
It seemed that this family comedy still had some twists and turns … The father seemed to be a character with violent tendencies.
The Knight Of The White Thorn tossed and turned on his bed with the paper in his hand. He was eager to know what kind of story the script was about, otherwise, he might not be able to sleep tonight.
But suddenly, there was the sound of something knocking outside the window. The Knight Of The White Thorn stood up from his bed and saw a crow throwing a heavy book on his desk.
The Knight Of The White Thorn ran to the desk happily and looked at the two big words on the cover, "The Shining".
The ink on the two words was still wet, which meant that the script had been completed not long ago!
He could finally sleep peacefully tonight!
The Knight Of The White Thorn excitedly opened the script of "The Shining" and began to read it quickly.
He spent a whole hour carefully reading the whole text. After reading it, the Knight Of The White Thorn frowned.
Because he was a little disappointed. The story of "The Shining" was not as exciting as the Knight Of The White Thorn had imagined. It was far inferior to "The Shawshank Redemption". He didn't even understand what the story was about.
The whole script was like the whisper of a madman.
He patiently began to read it for the second time. When he was halfway through the second time, the Knight Of The White Thorn's back began to sweat.
