Chapter 682 The Third Return

"Xilan, let me tell you, this guy is probably the first person who dares to force me to drink with just plain water since I was a child."

Roy felt angry and amused again at Fanning's self-righteous behavior, but she still took a sip.

"Ms. Roy, the latest round of 'Daily Cinema News' contains 23 pieces of news reported by 100 county-level cinema chains. Most of the content reported this time is related to 'The Rite of Spring'."

At this time, the female assistant Nicole walked up quietly and presented a stack of thin bound booklets.

The "Daily Hospital Situation" reporting mechanism was one of the small adjustments made after Fanning returned. Seventy to eighty percent of the success of its creation was due to the very strong intelligence collection team that Congreve, the deputy director of operations, had originally cultivated.

Out of consideration for daily timeliness and to avoid information spam, the headquarters has certain requirements for content. It does not require all cinema chains to submit reports every day, nor will it wait for all levels and regions to "collect" before presenting them for review - as long as it reaches 100 items, it will be sent to Roy, and the rest will be filed and registered by the headquarters staff and reported selectively.

"Okay, thank you."

After Roy took it, he tore off half of the page for Shilan. The two of them read it quickly and then quickly exchanged it with each other.

The waiter was also considerate and promptly brightened the lights in the sofa area.

The two soon discovered some other perspectives.

Judging from the intelligence submitted by various theaters, the riots that occurred on-site in various places during the premiere naturally occupied a large part of the content, but unlike the Special Patrol Office's focus solely on the riots, these well-trained theater colleagues dug out and sorted out many other details worthy of attention.

Roy read softly some key sentences of information.

Sheeran also exchanged glances with him
"A considerable number of media professionals did not evacuate the scene, but worked on the spot to write commentary articles? In addition, a large number of artists gave speeches on the spot. Some said that 'ballet officially died from tonight', and some believed that 'The Rite of Spring is not art'. Some called Scheler the 'spiritual leader of expressionism', and some even said that The Rite of Spring may become the 'representative of modern music works'. And many of them are not from the south?"

"Both detractors and praisers are asking for information on the publication and sale of the score for The Rite of Spring?"

"According to incomplete statistics, at least 40 venues had demonstrations after the performances? The ratio of praise and criticism was half and half?"

"According to incomplete statistics, within one hour, the number of people who decided to perform The Rite of Spring as the next show reached 25? Among them, Turner Cinemas received a total of 8 venue reservation orders?"

"Detractors say that wherever the next performance of The Rite of Spring opens, their opposition and criticism will follow."

The quarrels around him were already a bit noisy, and Roy was eliminating the outside interference, reading and thinking about the meaning behind the information.
But suddenly, even louder footsteps and shouts were heard in the corridor outside the salon banquet hall!
No one would dare to hold a demonstration outside, would they? Now it was not just the two young girls, Roy and Sheeran, who were upset. Even the Marquise, who had always looked calm and composed, and was still listening and guiding the guests, frowned and stood up, looking towards the gate!

"Something's wrong? It shouldn't be that serious?"

When Xilan saw the face of the leader, his eyes widened instantly.

Isn't this the music director Bruno Walter?
She turned around immediately and found that the sofa in the back row was empty.

Hey, Mr. Director, you seemed to be sitting here at least twenty minutes ago, right?

What did he do when he went out? Why did he come back with such a large group of aggressive people?

The next moment, Walter shouted something.

The Marquise was also stunned where she was, and even the crowd who were arguing and spitting all over the place suddenly fell silent!
"Saint Lavoisier! Saint Lavoisier is back!"

He held a Gospel high up and waved it vigorously! If the Marquise, Roy, Sheeran and others were just a little slow to react, then the religious guests at the salon, no matter how fiercely they had argued before or how many eloquent words they had organized, now had a "buzz" in their heads! !

"where?"

"Where is Master Lavoisier?"

The crowd rushed to the gate in an instant and looked around!

There are so many explosive news in this Harvest Art Festival! Especially on the night of October 10th!

Could it be that the news of the premiere of "The Rite of Spring" might not be able to grab the headlines tonight?
Roy pulled Sheeran up, and they both looked at Fanning, who had also stood up and was walking slowly forward with the crowd, and they looked at each other strangely.

What the hell? Did this guy's weird train of thought really hit the mark?
There was a hint of worry in Roy's eyes after thinking it over more deeply.

Father Lavoisier is a respectable master and a vital figure in the church. His return is good for the current situation of the mystical side. However, the Harvest Art Festival is even more "rolling"
What should Fan Ningke do? Roy felt very worried.

"Bishop Walter, is the news accurate? Why didn't I see Saint Lavoisier?"

Someone asked.

"Is the Pope still in audience with him?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

The preacher was nowhere to be seen. In the corridor there were only a group of people from the church and municipal government, as well as a few people in military uniforms.

Many people asked loudly and eagerly.

After Walter returned to Janus, he finally solved the problem of applying for the key to the "Gate of Lights and Shadows" and was successfully promoted to the Aware - in fact, this was a problem that should have been solved long ago. As a "Forged Lion" with no qualification barriers for promotion, he immediately began to make spiritual preparations for continued promotion to the second level.

Since his official personnel relationship is with the Turner Hall, the church's position for him is temporarily "Honorary Bishop", and all high-level treatment remains basically unchanged.

"The news came from the Apal war zone more than an hour ago." Walter wiped the sweat from his face. It was obvious that he had just run all the way back from the street.

"His Holiness the Pope issued more than ten instructions in one go, but they were all relatively short. In a little while, from the top down, from inside the church to outside, the news that should be spread should be gradually spread. We are still waiting for the Pope's unified instructions to see how to organize the audience, whether to welcome or guide, and how the art and cultural circles should be guided in a unified manner. The headquarters' announcement will also be the standard."

Lavoisier was both a religious and an artistic figure.

Many people feel that they can no longer imagine how powerfully the news of Lavoisier's appearance in Apelles will collide with the controversial news of the premiere of Scheler's "The Rite of Spring"!
"What exactly is going on, everyone?"

Fanning walked to the door and stretched and asked.

"Yes, how did you get back? Where is Lavoisier now?"

"Bishop Walter, do you have any other details to share at this time?"

Fanning's casual question touched the anxious nerves of more believers, and they all echoed and asked questions.

Seeing his boss coming out, Walter walked over quickly, of course, the joy in his expression could not be concealed:

"Uh, Mr. Fanning, I'm afraid I'll have to take a few days off anyway. This is what I've heard so far."
