To be precise, Liszt wanted to create a stage play in the form of a play, similar to the style of Shakespeare's Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet.
Of course, he did not know much about this kind of stage play.
He had never seen a complete stage play.
But this did not prevent him from creating a new stage play in this world. It did not need to be a sophisticated art form, nor did it need to be rich in plot content. He just needed to create the form of a stage play. When the stage play became popular, there would naturally be novelists who would create really good works.
Even.
Liszt only needed to adapt one or two of the more classic Knight novels to create a stage play. And according to the hint of the smoke mission, Avril knew that Avril Mask had artistic cells. She just lacked inspiration. Adapting a stage play could be left to the other party.
"Avril, I intend to buy your burlesque team and help you create a new stage play in the form of a play. In the future, your team will move to Flower Town and perform mainly for the residents of my territory. As long as you can rehearse a classic stage play, I will recommend you to perform in a bigger city. "
The burlesque team was made up of freedmen, and they were freedmen who lived a difficult life. Most of them were relatives.
Avril and her family had no reason to disagree with Liszt's willingness to buy them. The new stage play also deeply attracted Avril: "Sir Lord, Avril is very willing to perform a stage play for you, but I don't know if it will be popular."
"Don't worry about whether it will be popular or not. I will buy your team and set a basic salary for you according to the standards of workshops in the territory. After that, the income from each performance will be divided … My expectation for you is to study art, not to make money. "
Whether a stage play could make money depended on whether this form of artistic performance could be recognized.
But no matter how popular a stage play was, the team's performance time and number of times was limited. It was very difficult to make a lot of money. Liszt had a lot of assets in his hands and did not need to count on a stage play to make money.
He invested in a stage play for two reasons, one was to complete the mission, and the other was for publicity.
He was willing to do it even if he had to pay.
Avril was overjoyed when she received Liszt's confirmation. She immediately asked Liszt for advice on how to rehearse the play.
"I've already told you the format of the stage play. You might still be a little confused, but you have plenty of time to figure it out. I recommend to you two Knight novels, 'Hymn to the Loyalty of the Knight of Valsey,' and 'Sir Piero of Great Ambition.' Simplify them, distill the main story, and arrange it for the stage. '
These two Knight novels did not have too many war scenes. They were more realistic and easy to adapt.
Most importantly, the theme was healthy.
The Loyal Hymn of the Valsi Knight was a story about a Knight who loyally protected his lord, while the Ambitious Sir Piero described a commoner who bravely followed his lord and eventually became a glorious noble Knight.
There was no doubt that this kind of story was loved by the commoners and appreciated by the nobles.
"Avril, rehearse a general story as soon as possible. I will guide you on which part of the story has problems, and you can make changes." Liszt set a limit in order to complete the task as soon as possible. "I want to see 'Hymn of Valsey' on stage within three days."
"My lord, is three days too short? I, I don't know if I can do it well."
"Then let me give you a little more advice. The story of 'Valsey' is relatively simple. Bandits came to the territory, the lord was injured, and Valsey loyally protected the lord. He defeated the bandits, and the territory was safe, so the lord gave him a lot of rewards. You just have to intercept the main story, add a little dialogue, and do some simple imitation. "
"Then I'll give it a try."
"Go."
…
Avril's burlesque team was renamed "Black Horse Island Drama Company" and began to concentrate on the "Hymn of the Valsi Knight of Valsey".
Liszt took Kris Truth to Black Horse Island to choose the location of the Mage Tower.
Generally, mages would build their Mage Tower in a relatively remote location so that they could conduct their research without being disturbed. However, Kris could no longer leave the town lifestyle, so she chose to build her own Mage Tower on the edge of Port Town.
Moreover, Port Town, New Castle, and the Mage Tower were distributed in a triangular shape.
She did not decide on the architectural style of the Mage Tower because Liszt proposed a new architectural style — arched doors, floor-to-ceiling windows, and large pillars.
It also had separate stairwells and a plumbing system with a water tower.
The design was also five-story high, circular building, with four rooms on each floor in addition to the stairwell. Although it was called a Mage Tower, it was actually an apartment building — Liszt had plans to continue to add such Mage Towers in the future to train more mages or magic scholars.
He did not like the madness of mages when researching the truth, but the exploration of magic and magic arrays was a questionable research direction in the future.
It was entirely possible to industrialize magic.
Of course, this idea could not be realized for the time being. Kris was not even willing to train magic apprentices, let alone a large number of magic scholars. Moreover, mages were highly dangerous. To achieve the industrialization of magic, it was necessary to first achieve full control of the territory.
Only with the protection of a knight's Qi could the threat of magic be restrained.
"The requirements are clear. You need to complete the design of the Mage Tower as soon as possible. After getting the approval of Kris, you can build it immediately." Liszt ordered Jomaya Rammed Earth.
The architect, who had a bad record, had been conscientious since coming to Black Horse Island and had not caused any more accidents. Because he came earlier, he had more experience in rubber, bricks, glass, etc., and temporarily served as the chief architect of the territory. The architects among the new serfs still did not understand the language and had to adapt to the architectural style.
"My Lord, please rest assured that we will design the Mage Tower perfectly!"
Liszt turned to Kris and said, "The Mage Tower will be based on your opinion. If you have any needs, just ask." Having said that, the architectural tone of the Mage Tower was set by him, and Kris was embarrassed to overthrow it and build the Mage Tower in her mind.
Moreover, Liszt's plan was really good.
The Mage Tower in the neoclassical architectural style was indeed much more beautiful and practical.
...
Three days later.
Liszt had returned to Flower Town, and the Black Horse Island Drama Troupe's rehearsal of "Valsi" was officially staged in the castle manor. There were not many audiences, only the town officials.
The stage was very simple, the content of the play was even more simple, and the actors' performances were very poor.
"Valsi", which was about fifteen minutes long, came to an awkward end. It was more of a farce than a play. Liszt was speechless. These comedians didn't know how to perform a stage play at all.
However.
When he called out the smoke mission, he smiled happily.
