Chapter 112 The Photographer
Old Merck sat in a carriage heading to Squirrel Street.
He is a senior actor in the Black Swan Theater Troupe, and he is the kind of powerful actor. He plays the roles of an elderly farmer and a hunched middle-aged man in the stage play.
In addition, he has another identity as the set man, and the background of many stage plays was completed by him and his team.
And he was lucky to have an important supporting role in the audition for "This Devil Is Not Cold", that is, Tony, the employer of the male protagonist Lyon.
Today is the first scene of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold", and he is one of the main characters.
The carriage slowly stopped beside Squirrel Street, and Old Merck also sorted out his luggage and walked off the carriage.
Considering that the Black Swan Theatre is a troupe of hundreds of people and the influence of Fallosi Flower in Nolan, this time Qiao Xiu only named several actors from the Black Swan Theatre to participate in the first scene.
But there are still five carriages going to Squirrel Street this time, including some actors who have no scene arrangements today, who are also holding on to the new and lively viewing, or wanting to see the purpose of the film "This Devil Is Not Cold" for yourself.
Miss Galloli, the chief actress in the Black Swan Theatre, is one of the people in the fun watching team. She is also the first heroine in "This Devil Is Not Too Cold". Although she has no scenes today, she still follows the convoy all the way.
Old Merck looked at Galorie from a distance. Today, the black swan was dressed very simple. Yesterday, she still cut off the long black hair that countless women envied and changed to the hairstyle of the heroine in the movie.
Old Merck has read the script that the demon is not too cold, as well as the impression picture drawn by the assistant painter Xiri, who is beside Joshua. Garoli's outfit today is exactly the same as Matilda in the script.
No one in the Black Swan Theater Troupe had any objections to this female lead. The only thing that made the Black Swan Theater Troupe curious was that the male lead was still not selected.
With this question, Old Merck followed the other actors in the Black Swan Troupe and several guards to a tavern at the entrance of Squirrel Street.
"Welcome to everyone."
Qiao Xiu had been waiting in this tavern for a long time, and opposite the tavern was the Black Pigeon Hotel.
The owner of this tavern was originally a very particular dwarf, so the layout of this tavern is quite meticulous.
Qiao Xiu used the old method, which was to smash a pile of gold coins on the dwarf, and successfully obtained the right to book a venue in this tavern for a few days.
Old Merck walked into the tavern, he looked at the layout around him, and soon noticed that there was a man who looked a little... taciturn at Joseph.
He put his hands in front of him, wearing pitch-black round-frame lenses, a black plush hat on his head, and the slightly rough stubble on his face made him look no longer young and had a temperament that had experienced the weather.
This... Old Merck almost wanted to point at him and shout the name 'Lyon'.
It's so similar. Old Merck took out the script that Qiao Xiu distributed to everyone in the Black Swan Theater from his suitcase, and took out the impression painting of the male protagonist Lyon. The man standing next to Qiao Xiu was almost exactly the same as the one in the impression painting.
It even made Old Merck feel that in the next second he would take out a knife and press it against his neck and whisper, "Do you understand?"
"More people came than I thought, but it doesn't matter. I have a few things to talk to you before the official start."
Qiao Xiu's eyes swept across the actors present in the Black Swan Theater, most of whom were unfamiliar faces. When Qiao Xiu's eyes looked at Jia Loli, he stopped slightly on the black swan.
Her changes were so great that she had shed her heavy skirt and long hair up to her waist. Now Galorie looks like a girl from a collar, not a black swan that is out of reach on the stage.
"First of all, he is the male lead in this movie. I know you must have doubts about his identity, but this is the set, not the social dance of the nobles, so here is the acting, if anyone of you thinks it is better for this role than him, you can tell me in advance."
Joseph pointed at the fraudster Pluke who was standing beside him.
The fraudster finally reached an agreement to cooperate with Qiao Xiu yesterday under Qiao Xiu's dirty money offensive and extremely high eloquence.
No one in the Black Swan Theater expressed dissatisfaction. It seemed that in their eyes, Pruker's temperament was indeed very consistent with the male protagonist in the script.
"The second thing is that Mrs. Nishizawa must have instructed some of you to come and learn the 'making' method of film."
Qiao Xiu opened the suitcase on the wooden table next to him and placed the camera and several original crystal stones with video recording functions on the table.
Whether it is a camera or a proto-crystal stone, it can be said that the most critical secret to making a movie. When this magic machine was placed on the table, many members of the Black Swan Theater were attracted by the sight.
Including one of the protagonists of today, Old Merck.
As Qiao Xiu said, before leaving, Mrs. Xize specifically instructed Old Merck to "try all means to learn how to make movies!"
As the behind-the-scenes worker of the Black Swan Troupe, he naturally took this task. For this reason, he specially brought several apprentices to watch the production process of "This Devil Is Not Too Cold".
"Since this magic machine is a commercial secret, I cannot disclose it for the time being, but I can share the method used with you, and you can communicate with my photographers at any time."
Qiao Xiu said in a meaningful tone.
Photographer?
Old Merck noticed some information revealed in Qiao Xiu's words, that is, in addition to the need for actors, the production of the movie also has an important existence, that is, the photographer.
Old Merck originally thought that the name "movie" had something to do with thunder and the God of Light, but it seemed to be purely a creation of a magical machinery, and the photographer was the one who specialized in using this magical machinery.
Qiao Xiu's attitude was so generous that it was unimaginable that those stingy alchemists would never let outsiders know the little knowledge of the magic machinery they made.
"Mr. Qiao Xiu, where are the photographers you are referring to now?"
Old Merck raised his hand slightly and said.
He can't wait to learn how to use the camera. This brand new magic machine will surely be popular all over the world in the future, and photographers will become far more important than the setters of stage plays.
Not to mention that those photographers seem to be...a group of young girls? This is much more pleasant than asking an old man for his skills in shooting.
Several set-up apprentices who came with Old Merck seemed a little excited.
"They? They have already arrived. Come out, ladies... the work time is up."
