After the view was pulled from the sky to the ground, the breathtaking scene did not change at all.
In other words, the more things reflected in the eyes, the more realistic it was. Whether it was the bustling market with people coming and going, or the magnificent inner court of the palace, everything was too much for Victor to take in. If he was not worried about causing "any third party loss", he even wanted to stand up and touch the throne with his own hands.
Exclamations rose and fell in the hall. The audience seemed to have lost the ability to speak and could only express the shock in their hearts with short shouts.
Any change in the scene could cause an uproar —
The Princess Royal appeared. "Oh!"
A fourteen-year-old wolf transformed. "Wow!"
A foreign prince came to visit. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!"
Her ability was out of control. Lightning and thunder swept the palace into a mess. The audience was even more exclaiming, and the sound was so loud that it seemed like the floor was about to be overturned!
Unlike the traditional theater that paid attention to silence and gentleness, the shouts in the magic theater never stopped from beginning to end.
Victor knew that this had nothing to do with the audience's quality. It was purely to ease the extremely contradictory feelings in their hearts. They were eager to enjoy the unprecedented wonder, but they were also full of fear for the overly realistic scene. Therefore, they could only shout out. Only in this way could they know that they were not experiencing this illusion alone. There were many people around them, or sharing the shock with them!
If Roland was present, he would definitely understand that this was just another form of "bullet screen protection."
In such a shout, the Princess Royal completely transformed into a giant wolf and threw herself into the snowfield. When her huge body passed over his head, Victor only felt that his scalp was numb, and he almost couldn't help but want to run away.
But at the same time, a high-pitched song entered his ears, making him instantly calm down.
All the uneasiness dissipated, replaced by strong grievances, unwillingness, relief, perseverance … Several kinds of feelings alternated, and Victor actually burst into tears for a moment!
He seemed to empathize with the Princess Royal who was forced to escape. He was sad for the misunderstanding of the people, but also proud of the courage.
The beautiful music and the scene transformation, and even every movement of the characters in the play intertwined. The beautiful voice made his heart boil, and the description of the lyrics was more like a portrayal of himself.
In this life, who had not been misunderstood?
However, most people could only choose to endure in silence!
Victor's fear of the She-Wolf Girl was gone. Instead, he applauded her for breaking free from her shackles!
Through her, he seemed to see himself far away from home.
There was no doubt that this was an excellent song, but for the song and the drama to be combined so perfectly, without the slightest feeling of being overpowered, this was the first time he had experienced such a sense of harmony!
Judging from the applause from the audience, he was not the only one who felt it. This scene had touched everyone's heart and pushed the atmosphere in the hall to the highest point since the beginning of the performance.
At that moment, Victor had already made a judgment about this new drama in his heart.
There was no exaggeration in His Majesty's propaganda.
This was definitely an art that surpassed the times!
…
He lost.
The moment the song started, Kajen knew that he had lost to Mey. It was not a personal defeat, but a complete defeat for his new play, The Wolf Princess.
No matter how nice the story was, a play had to be watched by people.
At first, he still had the time to wonder, "How is this possible?" and "How did she do it?", but he soon became numb. This so-called magic movie had completely subverted the common sense he had accumulated over the past decades and trampled on all the existing rules.
The audience in the hall was already very picky. Although they were not as insightful as the old nobles who had immersed themselves in the entertainment industry for a long time, they were all experienced and knowledgeable, so it was not easy to impress them. However, at this moment, these people could not stop shouting, as if they were villagers who had never seen the world.
But it was not their fault.
If he had not tried his best to restrain himself, he would have shouted too.
The new play prepared by Kajen's troupe could not have done this.
If you put the two together, anyone would come to the same conclusion: The Wolf Princess was more exciting, and much more so!
Can't they see the mistakes and carelessness of the actors?
Of course not.
But they could totally ignore these problems.
Kajen knew very well that a person could only receive a limited amount of information at one time, and the magic movie provided him with a wealth of information that was almost too much for his eyes to take in. Under such circumstances, it was difficult to attract the attention of the audience even if the actors made one or two small mistakes.
So this was an unfair competition?
Kajen did not think so.
No one knew the development of a play better than he did.
The reason why famous actors preferred to work in large theaters was that the latter had enough money and could provide better costumes, props, and scenery.
These were also indispensable elements of a wonderful play.
His teacher had made a name for himself by putting large backdrops on the stage. His masterpiece was the invention of the detachable wooden house, which was very popular at that time. Since then, all theater troupes had tried to imitate his invention, which was how today's plays came to be. If an actor were to go on stage empty-handed, he would not think that it was a perfect performance.
The layout of the scene had always been closer to realism and exquisiteness.
The Star Flower Troupe had just done this to the extreme.
Kajen relaxed when he came to this conclusion.
He leaned back in the soft recliner and heaved a sigh of relief.
Finally, he could focus on this rare play.
...
Before he knew it, the story had come to an end.
The darkness faded, and the chairs, pillars, and floor reappeared in front of the audience.
But no one stood up and left. They seemed to be still immersed in the illusionary Capital of the Mountains, recalling the thrilling battle between the Wolf Princess and the demon lord.
Kajen Fels was the first to applaud.
His applause seemed to wake the audience up. Then the second, the third... More and more people raised their hands. Soon, the applause grew louder and louder, like a thunderstorm.
"Teacher..."
Kajen was applauding. Roentgen, Egrepo, and the others almost burst into tears. Bernis's eyes were already filled with tears.
"Don't cry." The old man also felt tears welling up in his eyes. He knew what Bernis was sad about. The actors had trained hard for more than two years for this new play. Everyone could see how much effort and sweat they had put in, but now, all their efforts were in vain. Those who had watched the magic movie would no longer be interested in the new play. This kind of defeat, which had ended before it had even begun, would undoubtedly destroy anyone's confidence. But Kajen knew that he could not give up here. "We didn't go the wrong way!"
"Teacher, you mean..."
"What's the most regrettable thing about a play? It's the distance! " He tried to control his trembling voice and said as calmly as possible, "The distance between the audience and the stage is enough to make people miss the subtle expressions of the actors. But the magic movie can make up for this. I bet that improving your acting skills will only become more and more important in the future. Perhaps a well-timed smile can make the audience hold their breath. So, this is just a temporary failure. It doesn't mean that your efforts are worthless! "
Kajen paused for a second and said, "Don't worry. I promise you that after we figure out how the magic movie works, we'll come back and compete with the Star Flower Troupe on the same line. I think the audience will give us the right feedback. But don't cry now. Stick out your chest. It deserves our applause. "
