Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 233 Out of reach
The regular meeting was over and everyone else had left, but Sir Godot stayed and followed Drogo to a separate small meeting room to discuss matters regarding the script.

The conference room should be the most numerous room in the Drogo Group headquarters.

Sir Gordo had the script in his hand and had no reason to refuse to shoot.

He originally thought that filming Magic Shadow was a very interesting thing, and he liked the new things that the Drogo Group came up with, otherwise he would not have invested in a variety show.

But he didn't expect that there was actually a need for an actor like him in Moying.

Only his head could move, and at most he could use the magician's hand, which he was good at.

Due to limited talent, Sir Godot can control at most one wizard's hand at a time.

But practice makes perfect, and he believed that no one could use the Mage's Hand more skillfully than him.

But what kind of Phantom would require an actor whose only moveable part is his head.

How can this be performed? Just look at the facial expressions?

"Untouchable?"

Sir Gordo read out the title of the play with a hint of confusion.

"What kind of story is this?"

Just from the title, you have no idea what story this movie will tell.

"Well, it's probably about two people with huge differences in identity, status, and social background who accidentally establish a deep bond, but in the end have to separate because of this gap, but their friendship lasts a lifetime." Drogo introduced.

“So, this is a tragic romance?”

It's no wonder Sir Godot thought so; Drogo's description did sound a little too much like a love story.

The noble girl and the poor boy fell in love at first sight, but had to break up under family pressure.

Such stories are the most popular. Every bard has a few such stories prepared and uses them in occasions with many female audiences. They are guaranteed to bring a lot of tears and work every time.

But what does this have to do with improving the image of tieflings? Is it that the poor boy is a tiefling, so that the audience can sympathize with his plight?

Sir Godot felt that the audience would not empathize with a poor tiefling boy, but would be more likely to empathize with the girl's parents.

The girl that he raised with his own hands suddenly brought home a man who appeared out of nowhere. He had no money, no future, and was a foreigner. But the girl cried and shouted that she wanted to marry him.

Sir Gordo believed that any sane parent would break them up without hesitation.

"No," Drogo denied Godot's suspicion, "This is a brother comedy."

"what?"

"Anyway, read the script first."

Sir Gordo opened the script.

The script was so thin that he once thought it was not a complete version and was not allowed to read it before confirming his participation.

But he soon discovered the reason why the script was so thin. It was like an outline, with only the general scene of each scene and the content and direction of the dialogue.

There are no specific lines, no action requirements, and no emotional cues.

Even the script used by Fei Lin's Good Songs for the tutors is much more detailed than this.

Yes, sometimes the script for a variety show can be quite detailed, down to every word that needs to be said, all of which is a drama.

“Why is this script so…”

"Simple, right?" Drogo understood Godot's doubts.

"Because you are not a professional actor, and your tiefling nanny is not going to be a professional actor either. So we want you to act freely in life-like scenes. The more natural the better. Just make sure the general direction of the plot is maintained. You can think of it as a documentary with a plot."

Sir Godot nodded. He knew about documentaries. The Drogo Group had released several on the Magic Viewer. Some introduced different delicacies from different places, some filmed animals in forests and deserts, and some followed the lives of the lower-class workers...

There are all kinds of themes, and the most prominent feature is the emphasis on that what is filmed is real. There is no pre-written script, and no special effects will be used in post-production.

He quite likes watching it. He feels that he can learn something and the viewing process is also very relaxing.

The plot of "The Intouchables" is very simple, with only two main characters.

A middle-aged nobleman who has lost hope in life due to paralysis and has to rely on others for care.

And the noble's nanny, a tiefling who had just been released from prison, was making a living on the streets, had no proper job, but was optimistic and positive.

Now Sir Godot understood why Drogo wanted him to play the leading role.

Who could be more suitable than him?

Let a paralyzed middle-aged aristocrat play a paralyzed middle-aged aristocrat.

There's no need to perform at all, that's his life.

Sir Gordo continues reading the script.

A lonely nobleman who is respected by society but hates his life, chooses to become a personal nanny for a young tiefling who is discriminated against by society but still faces life positively.

Why did you choose him?

Sir Godot put himself in the shoes of the others and quickly figured it out.

Just like what was written in the script, this not-at-all-professional tiefling treated the noble as a living person and got along with him like a friend.

This feeling was something that was severely lacking in his life.

Sir Gordo thought of his injured life assistant. It was not that he was unreliable. On the contrary, he was extremely professional and took care of every aspect of Gordo's life very thoughtfully.

But Sir Godot didn't like him.

Because he treated Sir Godot like a piece of extremely fine, valuable, and yet fragile porcelain.

Careful, with an invisible barrier.

What was even more difficult for Sir Godot to accept was that he could see sympathy and pity that were difficult to hide in the eyes of his life assistant.

As a noble of the Craig family, he was also a talented man when he was young, but now he is pitied by an ordinary life assistant.

He knew it wasn't the assistant's fault.

But he just didn't want to accept this kind of pity.

Even though he couldn't take care of himself and was a quadriplegic, he still wanted to be treated like a normal person.

So now he likes getting along with Drogo, because Drogo really doesn't treat him as a disabled person.

I almost don't treat him as a human being anymore.

At the celebration party for the premiere of Flynn's Good Song, Drogofei pushed him to play dodgeball.

Others were too embarrassed to aim at him.

So Drogo used him as cover, hiding behind the wheelchair and attacking like crazy...

Thinking about it now, he was quite happy. He even caught a ball with the Wizard's Hand that day.

To the extent that he would spend most of his time in the Drogo Group or the studio, unwilling to return to that "lonely" mansion.

All the servants in the house looked at him with caution and pity in their eyes, forming an invisible pressure that made him breathless.

Maybe it would be a good idea to find a tiefling nanny who doesn't "respect" him, as in this script.

The first half of the script is indeed a comedy.

The street urchin who has been used to poverty since childhood and the aristocrat who grew up in luxury create all kinds of funny moments due to their different cognitive differences.

Especially when seeing a part where the tiefling didn't understand why abstract paintings were so expensive, just like random paintings, so he painted one randomly, and it was successfully sold by the nobles at a high price, Sir Godot laughed until he coughed.

To be honest, he doesn't understand the current trend of abstract painting.

Can't understand a bit.

But he understood the art market. A painting could be sold at an incredibly high price not just because of its artistic value, but there were also many tricks behind it.

"Wouldn't Ms. Fulin be unhappy to see this scene?" asked Sir Godot.

He knew that the biggest leader of today's abstract painting trend was Ms. Fulin, who was known as the banner of modernism.

This plot is a mockery of this new trend. "Tsk, what's the use of her being unhappy? I say one thing, does she dare to say two?" Drogo said very proudly.

Ser Godot would bet that Drogo only spoke like that because Lady Flynn was not present.

"Besides," Drogo tried to find a way back, "I was only mocking the paintings for being so expensive, not their quality."

Drogo knew very well that Flynn and her followers had very solid basic skills, and that was because the traditional realistic painting method had reached its limit by their predecessors, and if they wanted to innovate, they were bound to enter the non-realistic field.

Here Drogo gave a small push.

It is difficult to say which of these explorations is correct.

For example, a branch has recently emerged whose goal is to break the idea that art must be beautiful, and to deliberately draw some exaggerated, weird and ugly paintings.

But they can actually draw nice-looking things, and it's very easy. On the contrary, it is more difficult for them to draw ugly things.

All I can say is that people who engage in art are more or less abnormal.

As for having no basic skills and no ideas of one's own, and just drawing blindly, and still insisting that it is art, that is really completely wrong.

“It’s a really good story.”

After reading the script, Sir Godot exclaimed.

The whole story is extremely simple, without even any major twists and turns. It just tells about things that happen in life.

This is very different from the traditional storytelling techniques that pursue big contradictions and conflicts and unexpected ideas.

But it was this somewhat dull story that deeply moved Sir Godot.

“When will the filming start?”

He couldn't wait any longer, and believed that countless viewers would be moved by this story like him, and that he would have participated in something worth remembering.

"The sooner the better. The shooting period won't be long. It should be completed within a few dozen days and then released as soon as possible."

This Shadow of Demons will be the first shot in the plan to improve Tieflings, and it is needed to verify people's acceptance.

Drogo hopes that it can be completed as soon as possible, so he decides to take the directing reins again after more than a year.

Although he is not professional, he is still the best director in Feilin Continent for the time being.

"What about the actress who played the tiefling nanny?"

"Start looking now."

"From the actors of the Drama Guild?"

"Of course not. Just hire a tiefling nanny. Since you have played yourself, the other protagonist will naturally need one too."

"what?"

Sir Godot never expected that he would actually have a tiefling nanny so soon.

It was just a thought, who knew Drogo would act so quickly.

After confirming his participation, Drogo immediately posted a recruitment advertisement.

It's really recruiting according to the requirements for recruiting a nanny, but the race is limited to tiefling.

Considering the current employment situation of the Tiefling race in Twin Towers City, a pile of resumes was received in one night.

Zhuogo screened all night, notified the candidates the next morning, and started interviews in the afternoon.

The interview took place at Sir Godot's mansion.

This will also be the location for filming of Magic Shadow.

The filming started even during the interview session, with cameras set up in several directions in the hall.

There are so many of them, and they cover all angles, and this is what the recording session of Feilin’s good songs looks like.

Ser Goldo now understood what Drogo meant by "documentary with a plot."

It’s true that everything is true except the plot.

Faced with a bunch of cameras, Sir Gordo felt like a lab rat.

"Don't be nervous. It's you who chooses the nanny. Why are you so nervous?" Drogo said from the side.

"It's not that I'm nervous about choosing a nanny, it's just that there are too many cameras and I can't get used to it." Sir Godot replied. He always felt that maybe he was not dressed properly and it would be inappropriate to be photographed.

He suddenly felt a little scared of himself being paralyzed and being scrutinized by millions of viewers.

Then they also begin to feel sympathy for themselves.

“You’ve already recorded the show.”

"You don't have to record me on the show!"

"It's okay. You'll get used to it after a while. The camera will be following you for the next few dozen days."

"You're also filming during the shooting?"

"We'll shoot it, maybe there will be some useful footage."

"Taking photos while taking a bath?" Sir Godot asked in disbelief.

"If you want to take a photo, it's not impossible."

“Who would want to take a photo?”

"Please let the first interviewee in." Drogo decided not to give Sir Godot a chance to adjust and went straight into the filming.

The first interviewee walked into the hall wearing high heels and walking in a seductive cat-like manner.

She has a charming figure and wears heavy makeup.

Standing in the middle of the hall, she even winked at Sir Godot.

Drogo frowned, feeling that things were not simple.

"You wrote in your resume that you have extensive experience serving the nobility?"

"Well, of course. I have served hundreds of nobles, and their feedback is very good. I am good at professional roles, and being a nanny is no problem either."

"Wait, what's professional role playing? We are looking for a real nanny."

"If you like serious things, I can do that too," the female tiefling immediately put on a serious expression, "Do you want to be punished by your sister, bad boy?"

"What a psycho!" Drogo finally realized what kind of service this person was talking about. "Do you think this person needs your service?"

"Maybe it's for spiritual needs. I've also received people who only looked at it but couldn't do it."

"Hurry up, next one," Drogo urged.

He had no idea what the tiefling had understood about the job ad.

"Tsk, why are you pretending to be so serious? Who would specifically ask for a tiefling when hiring a nanny? Isn't it just to satisfy that little quirk? If you can't agree on the price, just say so."

The female tiefling walked away in a twisted step, leaving behind a few words.

The interview did not go well.

First of all, resume fraud is serious.

Secondly, many tieflings understood this as a special service.

Drogo had never seen so many tieflings in the city.

"Can not be done."

Zhuogo sighed. He was almost out of interview lists, but he still hadn't found a single reliable nanny.

"Next, Maurice."

As a burly figure walked in, Drogo smelled a familiar smell.

"Wait!" He looked at the tiefling in front of him in shock, "Are you Xiao Mo's brother?"
