Walking into the hall, it was the first time Roland saw the famous actor and playwright. Half of his hair was gray, and most of his cheeks were surrounded by fluffy beards. He was wearing a black dress that was ironed, and his tie was meticulously tied. He was like a figure walking out of a portrait, full of a strong atmosphere of the times.
If his mug shot is hung on the classroom wall, with two famous quotes from famous people at the bottom, there will be no sense of disobedience.
Although he was old, the other party's eyes were still bright. After he bowed and saluted, his eyes kept falling on Roland, not dodging or evading. Obviously, it is not the first time for the drama master to be received by the royal family.
"Your Majesty, he is His Excellency Kajin Fiss," Barov introduced, rubbing his hands together. "The highest achiever of Greycastle's drama, his reputation has a certain influence in the four kingdoms. When he was still in the old capital, I am also a frequent visitor to the Central Theatre, just to enjoy the performances of the Kakin Troupe."
Look how happy you are... Roland pouted to himself, he is already the hand of the king, can't he be more prudent.
"Salute to you, Your Majesty Wimbledon." Kakin stroked his chest. "I think I may now know why you didn't get to watch the new drama."
"Oh?" Roland sat on the main seat, "Tell me about it."
"You...you're too young," Kakin replied slowly, "younger than I imagined."
"What do you mean, people without certain experience can't enjoy the drama you wrote?" If he had just become the lord of Border Town, he would have expressed his displeasure when he heard such an interesting answer. color. However, after staying in this position for a long time, it is difficult for Roland to care about the language confrontation now.
But the slowed tone still showed his attitude.
Barov on the side was already secretly giving Kakin a wink.
"No, Your Majesty, I don't mean age, but the state of mind." Kakin Fith shook his head, "It doesn't start at zero, and it doesn't end at a hundred. I've seen many positive Aristocrats in their prime are old in spirit; likewise, those who are in their twilight are not necessarily old." He laughed at himself when he said this, "I thought I was young enough, but you can see It's only until you understand that it really has no boundaries."
"Should I take these words as a bragging?" Roland raised his eyebrows.
"Mental youth can't be measured by good or bad, Your Majesty." Surprisingly, Kakin didn't follow up with common sense, "Mental youth is accompanied by aggressiveness, fearlessness, curiosity, etc... It can Promoting one's progress can also lead to loss of self, and sometimes even destruction, so..."
"Ahem, Your Excellency Kakin!" Barov interrupted in a low voice.
"Ah, I'm sorry, I just said it casually," the drama master came back to his senses. "As you get older and meet more people, you will always have some strange thoughts. Please forgive me."
"It doesn't matter," Roland waved his hand, and had another impression of Kajin in his heart, "let's get down to business. I heard from Barov, are you going to take over the script I wrote, or join the Star Flower Troupe directly? Why? ?"
Kakin answered directly: "I want to know more about the Shadow."
It turns out that after being rejected by yourself, you want to achieve your goal through this roundabout way.
"Even if you perform some drama that you despise?"
"I don't look down on those dramas..." he explained, "I just think that a drama should be carefully prepared and the actors can continue to improve, otherwise it will be a waste of energy and talent, and it will live up to the audience's expectations."
"But the audience watching your performance is not aristocratic, and I don't have so much time to wait for your rehearsal. If you join the Star Flower Troupe, you are likely to be forced to stage a drama that is far from perfect. In this way, drama The name of the master will be destroyed in one fell swoop, even if you are willing to take the stage?"
"Your Majesty, I"
"So joining the Star Flower Troupe is still free." Roland naturally wouldn't let the other party say his willingness, "And the plays I plan to stage next also need a certain mass base, which basically limits the Star Flower Troupe. , I'm afraid there will be no one suitable for you to act in a short time."
This time it was Barov's turn to wink at Roland.
"But..." He ignored the manager's wink, "It's not that there is no chance at all."
"Please say it." Kakin's body couldn't help but lean forward slightly.
"In fact, I plan to compose a drama with a theme related to love, which reflects the flowers of love bred in the darkest times, and the background is the period when the Church of Hermes set things right." Roland The idea was recounted unhurriedly. "I heard that the themes you are best at are love and redemption, so take it as an assessment. If you can make this drama a great success, I will consider your request next time the ghost is filmed. how?"
Ever since the occupation of the old and new holy cities, Neverwinter's external propaganda has changed its caliber: the culprit who once committed all evils was the false pope after usurping the throne, and the true pope has long been persecuted to death. Now the new agent will fully support Graycastle and jointly block the threat of the War of Divine Will.
After more than a year of publicity, this "new history" has a certain audience base, and now it's time to go a step further and expose the so-called battle of faith and the origin of the church. At this point, the new church will not only usurp and usurp the throne At the same time, it will also be completely separated from the church that persecuted witches in history, and become a part of the Neverwinter regime.
"You said the play was based on fact?" Kakin murmured. "Can I meet the two men in the story?"
"They are still in the Wolfheart Kingdom, and the rescue team has not yet set off," Roland shrugged, "and I think you should understand the meaning of the adaptation..."
"Of course," the drama master nodded, "the scripts I wrote were also based on royal legends, and I had to avoid the exact surname and family history as much as possible. But..."
"But what?"
Kakin hesitated for a while, but soon seemed to make up his mind, "Your Majesty, this is an unprecedented attempt for me, if possible, I hope to join your rescue team and watch the whole process. This action will be of great help to the rehearsal of the play.”
"Even if you go to Wolf Heart?" Roland said slightly moved.
"I don't think I can imagine all the details out of thin air, and I don't want to miss the opportunity you gave." Kakin said calmly, "Please rest assured, my health is not bad, and my disciples are with me, so I won't cause trouble to your team. of."
