Chapter 1442: The parties go into battle in person
In the southern border of Cecil, somewhere in the dark mountains, a glow suddenly lit up in an ancient wizard tower.
This not very bright magic glow slightly dispelled the darkness in the mage tower, causing the ancient books, scrolls, and racks filled with casting materials to be shrouded in a layer of light and shadow that seemed to be covered with real and illusory light and shadow. Between the interweaving of light and shadow, another figure suddenly appeared.
He was wearing a gloomy magic robe that only classical wizards would wear, with gray hair hanging behind his head in an unusually messy manner, and his face seemed to have not rested for several years. He held a crystal ball that emitted a glimmer of light in his hand, walked out of a dark corner, and slowly walked between the old and quaint books, wooden frames, and his eyes slowly swept through the blood of the monsters sealed in the crystal bottle and the magic herbs.
Suddenly, the old mage with a haggard face stopped in front of a shelf. His eyes were staring at a lilac crystal placed on the shelf. The crystal was obviously not connected to any spell array, but at this time it released a constant blue-purple light, and mysterious runes kept emerging from its surface, as if conveying some unknown knowledge and truth.
The shocked expression on the old mage's face gradually turned into fanaticism and joy. He stared at the crystal that was causing vision. His lips trembled a few times, and finally he couldn't help but break the silence in the mage's tower with a low voice: "Magic goddess... your glow has finally guided my path! It has effect... The crystal has spontaneously charged... In the name of knowledge and truth, may your brilliance be eternal!"
As the old mage could not help but recite, a breeze and a low sound suddenly rolled over the ancient mage tower. The lights and shadows swaying under the magic glow seemed to be stretched out suddenly and highlighted. The old mage's figure turned into a contour emitting white light in the darkness. In the dark void behind him, an illusory projection exuding a sacred aura gradually emerged. This vague phantom gave the old mage a meaningful glance...
"Card! Turn on the light after this item."
A sound suddenly came from the edge of the dark room. The "ancient and gloomy" atmosphere in the Mage Tower was instantly broken by this sound. Then there were a few slight sounds when the magic crystal stone lamp was activated. Several bright light sources illuminated everything here. The wooden shelf, paper-shell props ancient books, scrolls, and various "spell casting materials" made of props were exposed to the light. The rough and quaint stone walls at the edge of the room also showed a true face. When the light shook, all the "walls" disappeared, revealing the projected crystal below and the scene in the studio further away.
A staff member who was operating the Magic Net terminal not far away stood up and gave a thumbs up to the "old mage" in the center of the set. Several people walked out from behind the previous projection curtain wall, including Philm, Elevin and Fendir with a smile on their faces. They came to the "old mage", Elevin stepped forward and patted the latter's arm: "As perfect as ever, Mr. Parno, especially at that moment of your last expression, I thought you were really a devout believer."
"Thank you for your praise, Mr. Elivan," a marquis' kind attitude obviously made the "old mage" a little flattered. He smiled and said while turning off the energy switch of the crystal ball held in his hand. "But actually, I think the line just now can be more... 'rich'. If it is something similar to 'praying', I think..."
Mr. Parno, who played the old wizard, was halfway through his words when a slightly magnetic and nice female voice suddenly came from the side and interrupted him: "No need to change, I think this is pretty good."
Parno looked in the voice and saw an extremely tall lady in a gorgeous black dress standing there with a smile, although she had been working together for a while, at this moment he still felt a huge pressure coming.
Parno didn't know the origin of this lady, he only knew that Philm, Elevin and Fendir all respected the "Miss Mina" who played the heroine in the new drama.
To be honest, as an old actor who was once very famous in the Old King Capital, Parno always wondered why this "Miss Mina" was so respected by the three gentlemen. Although her performance is natural, it is obviously different from the truly skilled actors in terms of the "technical level". She also often makes some comments about the role of "Magic Goddess". However, the three gentlemen not only recognize her outrageous views, but even made many changes to the script specifically because of her suggestions... It is difficult to understand, it is really difficult to understand.
Having said that... Is this "Miss Mina" really a professional actor? Every time Parno thinks of this question, he is particularly puzzled. He dare not say that he knows an actor from all over the country, but as long as he appears, such a "grand" lady in front of him will be impressive. If she really appears on the stage, no matter how bad her acting skills are, her reputation will definitely be spread, but Parno has never heard of her name at all.
However, no matter what Miss Mina's origin is, since even Mr. Film agrees with this matter, Parno certainly would not say much about him respecting Mr. Film, the pioneer of the "magic drama", and of course respecting the other party's "authoritative opinions" in this regard.
"Then I'll be here this morning," Elivin's voice interrupted Parno's slightly divergent thoughts. The son of the Duke of the West had a pleasant smile on his face. "Mr. Parno, in the afternoon we will shoot the scenes of "Initiative interpretation" and "Shadow". You go and have a rest and eat something first. Be familiar with the lines and scripts after familiarity. We will discuss several scenes with Miss Mina."
"Okay, Mr. Elivan." Parno smiled, bent down slightly to greet him and walked towards the passage leading to the actor's lounge. Other staff members on the scene also received instructions and began to leave in sequence.
The "Ancient Mage Residence" arranged with various set props quickly became quiet, and in the end only three young people and the extremely tall "Miss Mina" were left.
It was not until this time that Philm finally breathed a sigh of relief, and then he glanced at Milmina with some restraint, and the smile on his face seemed particularly awkward: "That... thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard or hard. I showed up in the morning, and I was still standing in the background through the illusion in a daze. It's much easier than writing a report to the board of directors," Milmina waved her hand casually, her tone was particularly easy-going. "You guys have been busy these days, and they have to find ways to guide me, a novice who knows nothing..."
"Ahem, don't say that," Film immediately coughed, "This...this...this...this is my honor. I am not qualified to guide you...I am just a mortal..."
The young founder of the Magic Movie Drama is a bit incoherent, but he is not a mistake. Who could have thought that such a strange thing would happen in the world? He just took the commission from the Theocratic Council to shoot a Magic Movie Drama with the theme of "God". Who knew that he was just going to consult the professional knowledge related to the Magic Goddess. The next day, the Magic Goddess came in person and said that he wanted to "I play myself". Not to mention when he was awake, he couldn't even think of this when he was lying down by Elivin and Fendir last year...
Even now, he felt like he was dreaming when he remembered this. But the fact is that when he looked up on the set, he could see this beautiful lady like a giant swaying in his sight, and asked curiously, either studying the photography equipment or asking the staff about various things that ordinary people think belong to the category of common sense. This is probably a bit strange for ordinary people who don’t know about the set, but for him, an insider... the stimulation is too great.
Compared to dealing with this Miss Mina, the filming of "The Lord of All Laws" has become his easiest job here. After all, the most difficult and professional part of the whole film has been directly solved by the "God of the Involvement"...
"Don't worry about the 'mortal' issue here, little guy." Milmina saw Philm's embarrassment and couldn't help but smile.
She felt it was very interesting when she was sleeping with Lao Lu in the courtyard and doing nothing. She watched dramas with high intensity for more than twenty hours a day. Those interesting magic dramas helped her spend a lot of boring time, and nearly half of them were from the hands of this young mortal, whose creativity and imagination left a deep impression on her at that time.
But now this talented young man stood in front of her, looking so embarrassed and cramped.
"I hope you don't think the production site of the Magic Film Drama is chaotic and noisy," Film finally calmed down, but showed a little embarrassed. He glanced at the arrangements that were invisible under the light and the background areas that looked bare due to the holographic projection shutdown, and shook his head helplessly, "There is such a mess behind any bright and beautiful stage, which is probably a little different from the scene you imagined..."
"I don't think so, on the contrary, I think it's all very interesting," Milmina laughed. "I've seen many magic dramas you have made, and I've been interested in what's behind it a long time ago. And I have to talk about the glamorous stage behind it..."
The tall lady paused suddenly, then showed a somewhat complicated smile and shook her head gently: "If you knew what was behind the brighter and more beautiful Kingdom of God, you wouldn't say that again."
Film was a little confused for a moment, not knowing why the "goddess" suddenly felt this, but the goddess in front of him obviously did not intend to continue the topic. He quickly changed the topic when he heard the other party: "Let's not talk about these things and talk about the next step of shooting. The next shooting process is 'nonlinear', right? We can make some late-stage things first?"
"Ah, yes," Film nodded immediately. When the topic returned to his professional field, he suddenly seemed much more relaxed and natural. "The shooting process of the Magic Film Drama is different from the finished products that the audience finally sees, and it is also different from the traditional stage performance. We can adjust the shooting order of many clips according to the actual situation. According to the plan, we will prepare to complete the production of the last few scenes first, which is mainly based on the schedule, um...the last few scenes...the last few scenes..."
As soon as Philm said a few words smoothly, he suddenly got stuck, and his embarrassed and hesitant look once again appeared on his face.
This time, before Milmina could not help but hit Felm's arm with his elbow: "Don't get stuck and continue talking, what's wrong with the last scene?"
"That's right. The last few scenes are the two sections of "Divine Fallen" and "Funeral"..." Film looked strange and carefully observed Milmina's face as he spoke. "The main content is... the fall of the goddess, and the other is Sa... what... "
Then he saw the Magic Goddess himself showing an extremely pleasant and expectant look: "Oh! Is this the famous scene?"
Philm: “…ah?”
"Fallen and ashes are scattered, right? These are all okay," Milmina said happily with a smile, "I have practiced several versions of the scene of the fall in private, and there are all kinds of special effects. Then I will demonstrate it to you with illusions first. Which version you can see is better, and I will act it myself. If you sprinkle ashes..."
The "magic goddess" said as she thought: "To be honest, ashes are not easy to act, but I can try it..."
"No need to act this!" Seeing that the goddess's thoughts seemed to have reached a strange place, Philm finally screamed, "We have prepared props!"
"Ah, there are props? That's right..." Milmina showed a sudden look and then smiled, "Then I understand, I'm responsible for scattering, right?"
Philm: "…"
The young founder of the Magic Film Drama couldn't help but sigh in his heart: It's true that the goddess is hard to guess after retirement, and it's even harder to guess...
After a discussion, "Miss Mina" finally left with satisfaction, leaving only three young people standing there in a daze. The quiet and slightly awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, and Philm's voice finally broke the silence: "I have to have a drink after I go back..."
"I'm the one," Elivan also breathed softly, "There were several times in between that and I felt my heart being tested."
Speaking of this, he shook his head and added helplessly: "My father will never believe what I am doing..."
"I don't dare let my aunt know what I'm doing," Fendir next to him smiled bitterly, "If she knew that I finally got approved for a long vacation but spent all my time on the Magic Movie drama without going home... she would freeze me on the roof of the castle until the end of the long vacation."
"Is it so exaggerated?" Film looked at the friend in surprise, "I remember Duchess Victoria doesn't seem to object to you to do the 'magic drama'. She didn't watch it last time, let's go together..."
"The problem is not in the Magic Movie, the problem is that I won't go home," Fendir sighed, "She said she helped me find a good girl. You know me. I have my own intentions in this regard..."
"I don't think the problem is here either," before Fendir finished speaking, Elivan Franklin, next to him ruthlessly interrupted. "Is the biggest problem not when you spoke to the Duchess of Victoria last time you said, 'You're not married,'?"
Fendir: "…"
Film calmly walked away from the side two steps away.
Fendir: "What are you doing when you hide so far?"
"I think the Duchess of Victoria will ride a dragon from the North in the next second," Film looked serious, "I'm afraid that my face will be covered with blood when the time comes."
