Chapter 288 Preparing for a new phantom

After the two elven girls left, William asked incredulously: “Harvey, are you serious?”

“Which point?”

“Let the elves be the actors of the phantom. [WWW.SuiMеng.lā”

Harvey said in a weird tone: “Half serious and half joking, mainly because I didn’t expect them to agree so easily. Is the situation of the elves so bad?”

William, who is about to drink champagne, puts down his glass and shook his head after thinking about it, and replied: “I can imagine it a little bit. Although I don’t know the number of elves living in Farr Forest, it is conservatively estimated that it will not exceed 1,000. The development of the kingdom is constantly oppressing recently Their living space. Elves are not a race that hates performance. Most elves will double as bards to make money when wandering or going out for experience, but this is all hundreds of years ago. As a spellcaster, you should be better than I know better.”

“Their strength is not weak, and it should be fine to negotiate terms with the royal family. The royal family is very short of manpower now.”

“As far as I know, the elves would rather [cooperate] with humans than accept [charity] from humans.”

“I mean coercion by force.”

William sneered: “If you can do it, you won’t be a genie. Moreover, from a long-term perspective, the disadvantages of force coercion are even greater. Their lifespan gives them a more long-term vision. Of course, in our opinion, Far too far, it became stupid and stubborn.”

Isabella and Isabelle left the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce and returned to the hotel where they were staying, and the “silence technique” that blocked Isabelle’s voice was automatically cancelled.

Isabella asked excitedly: “Isabella, you are crazy! Why agree to that kind of person’s request? Even if you like his novels, at least you should maintain the reservedness and rationality that an elf should have!”

Isabella sighed slightly: “I will consider Mr. Adrian’s suggestion only because I have remained reserved and rational. You should know the purchasing power of hundreds of thousands of Barrons in the Kingdom of Barrons.”

“Even so…”

“Isabelli, haven’t you found out? The elders agreed to let us come to the human country to experience the purpose.”

Isabelle rose up and complained with dissatisfaction: “Didn’t you unilaterally want to come to see that nasty human spellcaster Adrian? The elders have always been so partial to you.”

“It’s really like that.” Isabella whispered, her face turned solemn: “The spring of the Moon Well is almost exhausted, and within ten years, the etheric magic contained in the Farr Forest will be completely destroyed. Before that, we must find a suitable place to settle.”

Hearing the Moon Well, Isabelle’s body trembled, and she exclaimed in disbelief: “How come…If the Moon Well is exhausted, Catherine and the others will not be able to grow?”

The Moon Well is one of the most important facilities of the elves. It can transform the etheric magic power and the earth vein power into the moon dew. The moon dew is a precious material in the Magic Association. It is known as a natural potion and has healing powers. The magical effect of warming up the spirit.

For the elves, the moon dew is equivalent to the existence of mother and milk. The immature elves are prone to conditions if they do not drink the moon dew regularly, especially now that the etheric element is gradually thinning, the young elves rely on the moon dew. Heavier.

“Don’t worry about this, the construction site of the new Moon Well has been determined.”

Isabelle faintly guessed something, her little face is very ugly: “It has something to do with humans?”

“Isabelli, do you remember Cassius?”

“Cassius Cassius, the one who left Farr Forest a hundred years ago?”

Isabella sighed faintly: “Yes, now he holds a more important position in the Magic Association, and has persuaded the upper management of the Magic Association to be willing to lease to us the magic power used by the Magic Association branch. The location is in the Magic Association. Not far away, most of the expenses are borne by Cassius. Even so, letting the elves live in human cities is a burden. Either we lose the Moon Well or we adapt to the environment.”

A huge and luxurious manor, it takes about ten minutes to walk from the fence gate to the mansion. The road is paved with neat floor tiles, even if the carriage is driving on it, it will not feel bumpy. The gardens on both sides of the road are well organized. The grass has been carefully trimmed by the workers, and new bouquets have been planted. The green grass and red flowers are full of fresh air.

The most commendable thing about the manor is a luxurious compound mansion, similar to a modern bungalow, with a total of four floors, and the interior decoration is full of classical beauty, elegance and atmosphere.

When Harvey came here, Shirley was already directing the workers to carry out the final decoration of the mansion. Harvey did not have much requirements for the residence, and the tower of the wizard was in another space, so there was no need to worry about the area being insufficient. On the first day of moving here, Harvey took a lap of the entire manor and planted gems in different places to build magic circles and enchantments.

Looking at the spacious courtyard covered with green grass, Harvey also sighed with emotion: “It’s not a good thing that the area is too large. It takes more than ten times more time to decorate the magic circle than the original house. It takes months or even years. Come and build it into a master residence.”

“Well this place, it would be perfect if a swimming pool were built here.”

The next day, Diana and Shirley were busy cleaning up the house. They moved the furniture they had brought from Elroy to the mansion. Diana requisitioned [heavy silver water] and moved things effortlessly. , The workers who moved the furniture were stunned. They were prepared to move the solid wood furniture that can only be lifted by a few people to the fourth floor, but Diana used heavy silver water to easily move the two pieces of solid wood furniture. Moving up, the strong visual impact made the workers wonder if the furniture was filled with velvet.

Diana is a perfectionist, and can toss about the placement of a piece of furniture all morning.

Harvey finally set up the frame of the magic circle and began to realize his second idea. The heavy silver water was requisitioned by Diana, so he just planned to “dig” a large swimming pool in the back hall. The weather is approaching summer. Even though the little guy Lily has transformed into a human being, he still likes to play in the water very much.

Harvey stood in the backyard with a blue light in his eyes and estimated the area of ​​the swimming pool he wanted to build: “About fifteen square meters will do. Anyway, the backyard is big, and you need to buy some building materials.”

The invisible force separates the soil, as if ice and snow are toasted by flames, melting quickly “dug” a large pit.

In less than half an hour, the fifteen-square-meter swimming pool project was halfway through. The big pit was square and the cuts were strangely flat, as if they were “printed” on the ground with a huge square metal.

“Master, what are you doing?” I don’t know when, Shirley, who put on a classic maid dress, came to the edge of the big pit, pressed the white skirt and squatted down, and the eyes behind the rimless glasses showed a hint of curiosity. color.

“Make a swimming pool.”

“swimming pool?”

“Well, it seems that you need to prepare a set of swimsuits for you.” Harvey smiled. Swimming is not rare in this era, and even beaches have developed. However, women’s swimsuits are not as fancy as modern women. Most of the style swimsuits are like the extended and thickened version of Xieyi, covering most of the skin, and it is very inconvenient to move after being stained with water.

“Swimsuit?” Shirley felt unfamiliar with this term, and stretched out a soft smile at Harvey: “I’m looking forward to it, but I’d better come up first, Mr. Brenda is visiting, and I’m already waiting in the living room.”

“Mr. Brenda?” Harvey remembered who Mr. Brenda was when he was taken aback. Maxwell Brenda, the head of the Brenda Theatre Company, has barely been since the filming of “The Earl of Monte Cristo”. How did I meet him? I heard that the Brenda Theatre Company has always performed and developed in Norton.

Shirley pulled Harvey up hard, even though her catkins looked weak and weak, in fact they were transformed by demonic attributes, and it was not a problem to smash a brick wall with a punch.

Shirley helped Harvey arrange the collar and hair of his shirt, and nodded in satisfaction to make sure there was nothing wrong.

When he came to the waiting room, the furniture was draped with white cloth, Harvey met the familiar middle-aged uncle. He was thin, handsome and had a sense of vicissitudes of maturity. The masculine charm was only much more than Harvey. Seeing Harvey coming in, Maxwell stood up and greeted him, shook hands with Harvey and smiled: “Mr. Adrian, long time no see.”

“I originally thought about inviting Norton’s friends over for a dinner party after a while, but I didn’t expect you to come first.”

A trace of embarrassment appeared on Maxwell’s face: “It looks like I’m bothering you.”

“It’s not enough. If I have an acquaintance greet me, I feel more at ease when I move to this strange city.”

The two were polite and talked about family and past events. Maxwell showed a bitter expression on his face and explained his intentions: “Mr. Adrian, I am very happy to hear that you are coming to settle in Norton. Apart from seeing In addition to the surprise of an old friend, I also hope to get your help.”

“Please say, I will help if I can help.” Harvey smiled.

Maxwell glanced at Harvey and sighed in embarrassment: “I was very satisfied with your favor last time, but it seems that I do not have the ability to be the director you mentioned. Since the filming of “The Earl of Monte Cristo”, The Brenda Theatre Company launched several Phantoms one after another. They were really popular at first, but with the popularity of Phantoms, the Brenda Theatre Company began to go downhill, and now it can barely rely on performance dramas to maintain it, hey. ”

The Brenda Theatre Company seized the opportunity in the Phantom Market. There were actors trained by Harvey and a professional photographer Kenneth Randolph. This should have been a perfect start, but Maxwell underestimated the Phantom Market. The degree of competition is fierce, and Harvey’s contribution is also due to Harvey. In the past few months, Brenda Theatre Company and Mirage Entertainment Company reached a cooperation to shoot a phantom adapted from a classical novel. After a lot of publicity, Max Weir looked forward to the grand occasion waiting for the release, but the news of Harvey’s new phantom “Frozen” was released from Elroy.

Maxwell talked about the current difficult situation of the Brenda Theatre Company. He approached Harvey this time because he wanted to cooperate with Harvey to make another phantom similar to “The Earl of Monte Cristo”.

“So that’s the case, if this is the case, I would be happy to help you, so how about I contact you in a while, I have to think about the script of the new Phantom.” Harvey nodded happily. Anyway, Harvey is not very busy recently, just ready to shoot. The new Phantom earns points on the attribute panel and is mutually beneficial with the Brenda Theatre Company. Harvey, as a director and producer, can take most of the proceeds. The Brenda Theatre Company needs to maintain its reputation.

Hearing that, the haze on Maxwell’s face was swept away, and he stood up and shook hands with Harvey excitedly: “Thank you very much, then I will go back and wait for your news.”

The new phantom? What should I take?

Harvey thought about this issue as early as when the “Count of Monte Cristo” phantom was filmed, and he couldn’t pay attention between the two phantoms.

The first is “The Shawshank’s Redemption”, which is an immortal inspirational classic in the history of American cinema. After its release, it almost won the 1995 Osker Award. It tells the story of a banker who was wronged and imprisoned but did not give up hope. The dirty environment still yearns for freedom. This film can be regarded as a wash of soul and inspires the audience’s enthusiasm for hope and freedom.

Harvey can’t pick out any faults from this movie. The reason for hesitation is that “The Shawshank’s Redemption” collided with “Count of Monte Cristo” in various senses, regardless of the theme or the plot and the profound meaning of the plot.

The other one is much less famous than the other one. The reason is that this movie is too old. This movie has been recommended by President Truman of the United States. The movie is called “How Beautiful is Life”. The style and format of the story are Similar to most modern family-themed movies, similar examples include “Remote Controller for Life” and “Fake Celestial God”.

Despite the differences in the subject matter, the connotation of the film is to express the importance of life and family. In “How Beautiful is Life”, the actor is a kind and good old man, but God never seems to pay much attention to him, even though he has always been Enthusiastic to help others but in exchange for frequent bad luck One day because he accidentally lost the money he needed urgently, the only way he thought of in a hurry was to commit suicide.

When the protagonist was about to commit suicide, he saw someone take the lead and braved the cold to save the suicide. The suicide man said that he was an angel sent by God and could satisfy his wish.

Of course, the actor didn’t believe it. During the conversation, he said that he hoped that he had never come into this world and had not encountered such bad luck.

The angel fulfilled the actor’s wish. When the actor returned to the town, he saw a town where he did not exist. He saw many tragedies caused by his non-existence and did not help other people. At that time, he Knowing that his life is not meaningless at all, the actor cannot accept these facts and shout out that when he sends him back to that world, everything returns to normal.

After seeing the town where he did not exist, the actor understood the meaning of life, and he was still fearless even in the face of difficulties. When he returned to the town, although the lost money was not found, the resident of the town who had been helped by the actor Generously donated enough money to the actor for emergency use.

In terms of subject matter and profound meaning, this movie is not very good in modern movies, but its delicate plot shows the beauty of trivial life, giving it a completely different meaning and moving.
