Morgan followed Joshua back to the White Thorns Theater, which was still as lively as when he "worked" here last time.
There were long queues at the entrance of the theater, although not as hot as when a new movie is released, but such queues are rare at Fallowi's theaters.
"Mr. Joshua, what are those...?"
Morgan noticed that in addition to the ticket counter, there was a dedicated counter selling some weird stuff.
Under the counter is a clear glass container in which there is an abundance of white...food.
"The product of sweet jade heated at high temperature and topped with some caramel will become a very delicious snack, but it's still a snack to describe here."
Joshua walked over to the counter and motioned to the waiter behind him to take a copy and hand it to Morgan.
"I only introduced this kind of food in theaters two months ago, Master Morgan, you don't know it's normal." Joshua said.
"Dessert… "
Morgan took a small wooden barrel handed over by Joshua, and the contents inside were like white snowflakes drenched in dark golden slime, exuding an appetizing aroma.
If Morgan's apprentice Phimes was here, her fluffy ears and tail would have been pricked up to get a copy.
In fact, Caroline next to her had already ran to the waiter at the counter, took out her small purse and bought a copy.
"I'm too old to cling to this kind of food anymore."
After Morgan shook his head and returned it to Joshua, he looked at the area where the White Thorns Theater was admitted.
He noticed that many viewers walked into the viewing channel with what Joshua called "snacks" and some juice.
"In Farosi... Anyone who eats food while watching a stage play will be seen as rude by other audience members, and will be thrown out even more seriously." Mrs. Caesar did not seem to like seeing the audience holding food. Sitting in the audience: "This is extremely disrespectful to the actors of the stage play."
"But Mrs. Caesar, movies are not something as elegant as stage play."
Joshua handed the share of popcorn in his hand to Caroline, but the girl immediately shook her head as if looking at her mother.
It is estimated that it was because Mrs. Caesar stipulated that Carroll should not eat too many sweets, and the bucket of popcorn just now was the limit.
"The tickets for the White Thorns Theater are much cheaper than the Farosi's stage play. The audience who come to watch the movie here is also for a moment of relaxation and enjoyment." Joshua looked at Mrs. Caesar and said, "This is what I set for the movie, It's not just an art that anyone can appreciate, it's an art that anyone can enjoy."
"Is it more about entertainment than art?" Morgan quickly understood what Joshua meant: "This is also the advantage that movies have. For example, after a hard job, I can sit in the audience. It's a comforting thing to just think about watching the shocking fights in Avatar while drinking juice."
"But the next film I want to make is something that the audience can sit back and enjoy, in short, art as you refer to it."
Joshua took Mrs. Caesar and the others straight to the study room of the White Thorns Theater, which was originally where Sir White Thorns worked.
Since Qiao Xiu became the real owner of the Bai Jinghua Theater, the owner here has also become Qiao Xiu.
Joshua lifted the seal of the desk drawer with the inscription and took out the heavy movie script and handed it to Morgan.
"The Shawshank Redemption." Morgan turned to the first page after reading the script's name and began to browse.
He spent nearly half an hour reading the entire script carefully, and even took out his glasses and put them on on the way to see better.
"I felt a power."
Morgan raised his head and muttered to himself after reading it.
"A force that is pushed back, Mr. Qiao Xiu, the theme of this script must be hope, right?"
Qiao Xiu was about to answer Morgan's question, but Mrs. Caesar suddenly intervened in the conversation.
"Master Morgan, I think the theme of this script is definitely freedom..."
Mrs. Caesar's voice changed from the respect she had before, to a tough feeling she only used when directing the Black Swan troupe in rehearsal.
"I don't deny what you said, Mrs. Caesar, but I think what the script itself wants to express is hope."
Although Morgan had a smile on his face, there was something in his voice that couldn't be refuted.
"The theme of freedom can be derived from the hero Andy..."
Mrs. Caesar didn't seem ready to compromise with Morgan, and there was a debate about the differences of opinion between the two beings from the top of the Farosi show business over the script.
Joshua made a wise choice to come to the corner and watch the discussion between the two of them with Carroll, and rubbed a few popcorns in Carroll's hand.
"It's here again." Carole complained to Joshua in a low voice.
"Your mother often does this?"
Joshua didn't expect Mrs. Caesar to be unable to control her emotions like this. This sociable duchess should clearly know that she should not hurt her friendship with some important people for this "little thing".
"My mother is very serious about the script, and three years ago my mother had a fight with another playwright over the stage play of The Eye Picker." Caroline whispered beside Joshua. Said: "What is your new movie about? The plot shouldn't be very complicated, right?"
"It's not complicated, it's a simple story."
Joshua listened quietly to the debate between Morgan and Mrs. Caesar. If these two changed their careers to be film critics, it can be said that they are at the professional level.
"How long are they going to argue?" Qiao Xiu asked in a low voice, looking at Carole, who was almost finished with the popcorn next to her.
"I don't know." Caroline shook her head and said she couldn't do anything.
Finally, after Mrs. Caesar and Morgan discussed philosophical issues about various aspects of The Shawshank Redemption, they both finally turned their attention to Joshua.
"Mr. Joshua, what do you think of this script?" Mrs. Caesar asked.
Sure enough... is it coming
Joshua put down the popcorn he had brought from Carole, and said after a few seconds of organized language.
"Does this matter?" Joshua said with a stiff smile on his face. "What's really interesting about a great book is that everyone who reads it interprets it differently, and the same goes for this movie. , every audience has their own opinion on it.”
Joshua is not good at doing things like movie reviews, but fortunately, this paragraph successfully made Mrs. Caesar and Morgan reach a reconciliation.
