Dragon, choose cultural victory to make money

Chapter 30 Premiere
"Hey! Look what I brought back!"

In Room 1, Building 327, the girls' dormitory of the Repin Academy of Spellcasters, Karina posed proudly in front of the dormitory door.

As the top magic school in the Kingdom of Sutton, the basic student dormitories are all double rooms.

"What kind of junk did that guy give you again?" My roommate You Fei didn't even raise her head, immersed in doing the questions.

She was preparing for the Wand Cup Inscription Competition. In the preliminary round, there was a wild wizard who came from nowhere and ranked higher than hundreds of students from prestigious schools like her. The pressure was very high.

"What do you mean by that guy? He's my boyfriend, okay!"

"Does he know you're his girlfriend?"

"Of course, he gave me two of the most sought-after tickets for the premiere of 'The Trip to the Holy Mountain'. Do you know how expensive these tickets are if you resell them now?"

Carina took out two golden tickets from her expensive handmade bag.

"But, as your best friend, of course the first thing I thought of was to share it with you. How about we go to the Wrangler Theater tonight to watch The Magic Shadow."

“Do you really want to share?”

"Of course!" Karina's eyes drifted out the window.

"Don't worry, I'll help you with the group assignment." Yufei was about to refuse on the grounds of preparing for the competition when she suddenly caught a glimpse of the runes on the Shadow Magic Ticket.

Many theaters would print runes on tickets to verify their authenticity, and the runes on this ticket came from her most admired illusionist, Flynn Ullman.

She became interested immediately. Learning should be a combination of work and rest, and she must take a look at anything that Teacher Fulin is involved in.

"Let's go, let me clean up."

"You agreed! That's great!"

……

Outside the Wrangler Theater, prosperity that had not been seen for a long time has been restored.

Horse-drawn carriages filled the street in front of the gate, and all kinds of vendors also gathered here, hoping to get a piece of the pie.

"I found a snack I've never seen before," Karina ran over holding a paper box, "It's called popcorn. You can actually bring food into the venue."

Yufei tasted a piece of popcorn. It was sweet and had a rice aroma. It was very good.

"You don't know, when my family took me to see a play when I was a kid, there were so many rules. I didn't have to think about eating, and even sneezing and coughing would get me criticized."

The audience came in one after another.

As soon as you enter the theater, you can find that it is different from a theater stage. There is no scenery, only a huge curtain hanging from the ceiling.

Moreover, the indoor brightness was darker than that of a theater, and even finding a seat was difficult, so someone had to use lighting technology.

A staff member used the loudspeaker to repeat the precautions: "All light sources will be turned off after the film begins, please do not panic. During the film, please be careful not to use lighting techniques at will to avoid affecting others..."

The theater with 2,000 seats was soon filled and the whole place fell into darkness.

Then, a picture appeared on the screen.

On Cornflower Street shrouded in darkness, four griffins were pulling a cart at full speed in the thick fog.

In the car, a person was communicating anxiously through voice transmission magic: "What do you mean that all the healing potions at the Kuhlmann Pharmacy are problematic?"

Many viewers recognized the people in the picture.

"Isn't that Master Soran?"

"That's him. He came to the school to give a speech when I graduated."

The sudden collision interrupted the audience's whispers and the plot became tense.

Yuffie saw that it was the Wurm from Drogo's toy store.

Now she was really interested in this magic film. How could one make a dragon perform the required movements?
The scene of the dragon's transformation into a corpse really scared many people. Yufei didn't scare him, but Jialina grabbed her arm nervously, and it hurt. The force was quite strong.

The plot calms down, with the protagonist's family affairs and the reason why he takes his daughter to the holy mountain.

But after the thrilling scenes at the beginning, the daily plot makes the audience even more uneasy, not knowing when this "bomb" will explode.

Smart move.

Youfei realized that this is not an art form that relies solely on visual spectacles, but rather requires solid dramaturgy.

After the zombies appeared in the car, wave after wave of climaxes kept people from breathing even for a moment.

The theater was never quiet from then on, with exclamations, screams, and uneasy gasps coming one after another.

Yuffie was also infected by the emotions in the story.

They were nervous when the protagonists were separated from their loved ones, worried when passing through the carriage occupied by zombies, and happy when they were reunited with their loved ones.

When the protagonists were blocked outside the safety car, the accumulated emotions reached its peak.

why?
Why was he blocked outside by his own kind even though he had already passed through so many zombies?

Her extensive reading experience told her that someone would probably die at this time.

It was just a normal dramatic technique, why did she feel so uneasy.

When the boy used magic balls to smash the isolation door again and again, the orcs used their bodies to block the zombies.

She was angry and began to hate the character in the story, the senior manager of the pharmaceutical factory who instigated others not to open the door.

She even took her anger out on the real-life Kuhlmann Pharmacy. The Kuhlmann healing potion, which originally represented cost-effectiveness, made her feel a little sick at this moment.

I've decided that I'll spend a little more money to buy healing potions made by others. It doesn't make much difference anyway, so I'll just feel good about it.

Meanwhile, Karina's emotions were on the verge of losing control when the orc blocked the door. When he said the name of his unborn daughter before he died, she, like many other audience members present, burst into tears.

Youfei understood that from today on, the era of drama was over. It might not disappear, but it would definitely be forced into a corner where it would no longer be glamorous by the shadow of evil.

She saw the old goblin lady choose to open the car door and choose to die together with this group of indifferent people. Faced with such a bloody and cruel scene, she felt a surge of pleasure in her heart.

The two hours passed quickly, and Mo Ying never felt bored for a single second.

Even better than expected.

Maybe after graduation I can become an illusionist who can create illusions for phantoms, just like Teacher Fulin.

At the end of the film, the male protagonist recalls the scene of his daughter's birth, smiles, turns into a zombie, and falls from the train.

As a father, the last thing in his life is still to protect his daughter.

The film does not directly show the scene of the father falling, but only shows a shadow that disappears into the rapidly moving railway, with a kind of sad romance.

Karina was sobbing and almost unable to breathe.

Yufei wanted to comfort her, it was just a story, but just as she was about to open her mouth, she found that her voice began to tremble, and warm tears ran down her face.

The film ends abruptly when the last two survivors stop in front of the checkpoint on the Holy Mountain.

Names appeared on the screen one by one, even the name of each zombie actor was written down in detail.

This is a treatment that will never happen in traditional dramas. Even at the final curtain call, the supporting roles are just drowned in the crowd and serve as a background board.

The lights came back on and the audience stood up and gave prolonged applause, even though they were not sure whether the creative team was present. This was the praise that this work deserved.

However, at this moment, a roar broke the harmonious atmosphere in the theater.

"Look! It's that beastly pharmaceutical factory manager, don't let him get away!"
