"Fuck, this is too good! I take back what I said before, this movie is not only interesting, it is extremely interesting!"
“It’s so exciting, I’m almost on fire!”
"To fight against the immortal vampire with the strength of a mortal, what an amazing will and courage, the protagonist is so handsome!!!"
"I have never read a story that made my blood boil so much in my life!"
"It feels so good. I even feel like I can kill more orcs on the battlefield!"
"… "
All of a sudden, the emotions of the soldiers in the Western Territory were completely boiling.
Compared to the Imperial Knights who had long been crazy about the movie, they finally realized the true charm of the movie until now, and cheered for the extremely wonderful plot.
Many soldiers even stood up from their positions and danced with excitement.
In response, the soldiers at the back whose screen was blocked immediately stood up and taught these unruly guys a lesson in movie etiquette.
At the same time, the members of the Clover Theater no longer had any ideas.
If they had previously retained a glimmer of the idea that stage plays were superior to movies, now that they had seen movies use such exaggerated expressiveness to present a story that was a hundred times more exciting than a stage play, they were completely convinced and realized that there was a reason why movies could sweep the entire empire with such a terrifying influence.
A new era has arrived, and the future of performers must belong to the film industry!
On the other hand, Rondo's manager's expression has changed from shock, to powerlessness, and now to numbness.
After seeing what was presented in the movie, no matter how paranoid or proud he was, he no longer had any edge at all.
In no aspect can a stage play compare to what is presented in a movie; this is an unchangeable fact.
After all, when he saw the protagonist Jonathan desperately killing the vampire Dio in the sea of fire, even he felt a long-lost thrill, and something called blood passion slowly emerged.
The last time he was so passionate was many years ago, when he led his troupe to perform on the largest stage in the West for the first time.
When did I forget my initial passion and become a foolish person who sticks to his own beliefs and cannot adapt
For a moment, Rondo Dutch slowly closed his eyes.
In front of the surprised eyes of his five daughters, their father actually shed tears that they had never seen in their lives.
Chapter 373: Who are we performing this story for
Chapter 373
"Jojo, the abilities of creatures like humans really do have limits. The only thing I've learned in my short life is that the more people scheme, the more likely it is that the scheme will fail due to unexpected circumstances. One must become a being that transcends humans."
"… "
“Courage is to understand fear and to make it your own. When you can control fear, your breathing will become regular and undisturbed.”
"The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage, and the greatness of humanity is the greatness of courage. No matter how powerful these zombies are, they don't know what courage is, and they are no different from fleas."
"… "
"Dio, how many people's blood did you suck to heal your wounds?"
"Do you remember how much bread you have eaten so far?"
"… "
"JOJO, I will pass on my ultimate secret to you!"
"Jojo, inherit my legacy! Ultimate, deep immortal vein rush!"
"… "
"In this world, the two of us are like one person, which means I will get the body of the only person I respect in this world, and then live in a brilliant eternity. This is my destiny, Dio! I will not let you suffer. This is my last respect to my opponent!"
"… "
As the movie progresses, the long JOJO adventure finally comes to an end.
"JoJo's Bizarre Adventure" tells the story at a fast pace about how the protagonist Jonathan learns Ripple under the instruction of his master Zeppeli, and goes to Dio's castle with him to have a decisive battle with him.
In the end, Jonathan and Dio died together and were buried in the sea, marking the end.
The whole story has laughter and tears, happy moments and tearful moments.
It can be said that the audience at the scene all experienced a variety of emotions in these short hours, and felt sincere empathy for the characters in the movie and their ups and downs of fate.
…
The movie is over.
For a moment, all the soldiers from the Western Territory stood there in a daze.
Originally they were dismissive of the so-called movie, thinking it was just an alternative stage play, but at this moment, they were all moved by the passionate and touching story in the movie, and felt a sense of comfort from the bottom of their hearts!
"Is this the movie? It's so good."
“I have never read such a wonderful story.”
“Although it is a very conventional story, it does not feel formulaic or preachy at all, and every character in it is portrayed quite brilliantly!”
"Yeah, and the protagonist Jonathan is too manly. If I were a woman, I would definitely fall in love with him!"
"The other characters in the movie are also very attractive. I can't help crying when I think of Zeppeli's sacrifice. After all, what he said was so great. The hymn of humanity is the hymn of courage!"
"The heroine Alina is also great. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a strong personality. She has been silently supporting the protagonist from beginning to end."
"In that case, I think the villain Dio is also well-shaped. He is obviously a bad guy, but he is inexplicably charming."
"Yes, and the oppression of vampires is really strong. Fortunately, there are no real vampires in this world, otherwise it would be too troublesome."
"But I heard that vampires really existed in the human empire before? It seems that there was even a shocking war over it."
"Who knows? Anyway, our opponents right now are just those sharp-tongued orcs."
"… "
All of a sudden, the soldiers expressed all kinds of emotions. It can be said that they have been completely conquered by the movie, excited by this fictional story, and even can't help wanting to see the subsequent story.
Judging from their performance, we already knew who would win and lose in the previous duel between Dooling and Rondo without even watching the game.
…
"I lost."
After the movie was over, the Rondo manager found Du Lin immediately.
Facing the young man in front of him, he was originally very disdainful of him, and even thought that the movie he created was just a low-quality product that was just for the sake of sensationalism. But now, he has undoubtedly completely given up his previous idea.
After seeing with his own eyes what movies are like, and completely immersing himself in the story told by the movie for several hours, experiencing all kinds of joys and sorrows with the characters in the movie, he has completely acknowledged the excellence of movies and realized what the future of the times is.
In response, Du Lin just looked calmly at the middle-aged man in front of him who already had some gray hair.
He knew very well that the other party had devoted half of his life to performing in stage plays.
The stage play may have shortcomings in all aspects, but this does not mean that Manager Rondo, who has gone to the extreme in this field, is not worthy of respect.
So, Du Lin slowly said:
"Manager Rondo, you don't have to give up. Even if the next era has arrived, it doesn't mean that stage plays will be eliminated."
"This... are you comforting me?"
In response to Rondo Dachi's surprise, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"Of course not, but this does not mean that stage plays do not need to change. As I said before, interesting things will naturally be liked by people. Current stage plays are not interesting enough and naturally cannot attract too many audiences. However, if the form of stage plays can be changed or the scripts can be modified, they may be loved by the general public."
"The general public?"
Seeing the instinctive surprise of the Rondo manager, Du Lin said with a smile:
"Of course, Mr. Manager, are you still clinging to the old idea that performances should be presented to noble gentlemen? Wake up, look at the scene over there, you should be able to understand where the roots of the so-called story are, and who are we performing the story for?"
Hearing Durin's words, Rondo instinctively looked into the distance, at the cheers of the soldiers and knights under the lights. Some of them even imitated Jonathan and Dio in the movie, fighting each other, and were finally dragged away by Knight Commander Wycliffe and Deputy Captain Leah.
After seeing all this, Rondo finally realized his most fundamental mistake and murmured:
"So that's how it is..."
In response, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"Of course it is. Or rather, it has been like this since the beginning. Whether it is a movie or a stage play, only things that can be liked by the majority of the people are meaningful. Stories that can bring happiness to everyone in the empire are good stories. If this is violated, then the so-called performance and art are nothing but castles in the air and are destined to be eliminated by the tide of the times."
Hearing Du Lin's simple yet not simple words, Rondo Dutch was stunned on the spot. The shock in his heart was far more shocking than the shock brought by the movie just now, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.
Chapter 374: The organization has decided that you will play Archer!
Chapter 374
Who is the story being told for
Durin's words made Rondo's manager suddenly enlightened.
The sadness and resentment that had accumulated in his heart disappeared at this moment.
Yes, although Rondo Deutch had already realized the excellence of the movie, he was still unwilling to give up. He did not want the stage play to disappear in the dust of history and become only remains in history books.
Therefore, even if he accepted the fact that movies were better than stage plays, he still found it difficult to accept this result.
But now, after hearing Du Lin's powerful words, he immediately realized his past arrogance and what a mistake he had made.
Performing stories is never for the sake of a small number of people. Every creator performs for the enjoyment of the vast majority of people.
"Thank you for your teaching, Lord Du Lin. I now understand what I should do."
After saying this so solemnly, a smile from the heart suddenly appeared on Rondo's face. He already knew what he was going to do and how to do it.
On the other side, Du Lin also smiled. He still had some respect for the stage play manager. Now that the other party could recognize his mistakes and treat his work with a correct attitude again, he was very happy.
"In that case, what about our previous agreement?"
Hearing Du Lin's words, Manager Rondo was slightly stunned, and then quickly replied:
"Of course, this is what we have agreed on before, but Lord Du Lin, what roles do you want my five daughters to play?"
"Although it may sound a bit selfish to say this, to be honest, as their father, I still hope that they can compete for the leading role. After all, I have been rehearsing them as the main actors of the stage play. I believe that their abilities can definitely meet your requirements."
Hearing the pleading words from Manager Rondo, Du Lin smiled and said:
"Of course, that's what I was planning to do. If they pass the audition, I'll let them play the leading lady in the next movie."
"Oh, really?"
Rondo showed a hint of joy at Durin's words, but he then said worriedly:
"Even so, in the end, there is only one starring role. I had a headache when I wanted them to inherit the troupe. Who should I choose as the final female lead? Even now, I really can't decide between them, because no matter who I choose, I will be abandoning the other four children and letting them down for all the efforts they have made..."
Seeing the distressed look on Manager Rondo's face, Du Lin smiled and said:
"Please rest assured about this. The movie I'm shooting this time is called 'The Quintessential Quintuplets', and in this movie, your five daughters are all the heroines!"
"ah?"
Hearing Du Lin's words, Manager Rondo's eyes suddenly widened and he stood there in a daze, not knowing how to react.
…
After finishing his communication with Rondo Dutch and agreeing to take his five daughters to the southern border, Durin found Knight Commander Wycliffe, who was managing the order of the army, and Deputy Captain Leah.
"Du Lin, you haven't gone back yet?"
In response to Wycliffe's surprise, Du Lin just smiled and said:
"Since the orc kingdom in the west won't attack for the time being, your knights will return to the imperial capital next, right?"
"Almost. If the Orc Kingdom continues to be quiet, I will lead the team back immediately after receiving an order from the Imperial Capital."
"Great! In that case, I have something to ask of you, Knight Commander."
"Do you have something to ask of me?"
Wycliffe was stunned when he saw Du Lin saying such a thing.
Seeing this, Leah wanted to leave but was stopped by Du Lin.
"Is this matter also related to you, Deputy Captain Liya?"
"It's about the two of us?"
Not understanding what Durin meant, the two high-ranking members of the Knights looked at him in confusion.
