Chapter 357

Inside a certain theater in Farucci’s Royal Capital.

‘So it’s ultimately decided to film ‘Avatar?”

Madam Schroder quietly finished listening to the outcome of the playwrights’ discussions and felt both slightly disappointed and slightly expectant.

The reason why she was disappointed was because she would have to wait till later in order to make the classic she grew up with into a movie. As for the expectation she had, it was due to the script for ‘Avatar.’

“This is truly a crazy script.”

Madam Schroder flipped through the pages of the thick script. After she skimmed through all the contents, she came to that conclusion.

“This is not only creating several movie characters. Instead... it’s creating an entire race, an entire world by the name of Pandora.”

The ‘concept arts’ that accompanied the script had detailedly illustrated the sceneries of this world called ‘Pandora.’

“These Na’vi people resemble elves. Perhaps a forest inhabited by the elves could be used for the filming site.”

After the discussion ended, all the playwrights left the theater. Only Morgan remained. He got up from his seat in the audience gallery and walked down to Madam Schroder.

Both Madam Schroder and Morgan were people that have experienced filming a movie before. The two of them began to discuss how to achieve the sceneries of the ‘different world’ illustrated by the concept arts.

“No, that’ll be impossible. Those floating islands cannot be found in Farucci. Those floating cities are only known in the legends and fairy tales of old.”

Madam Schroder took out a landscape concept art. It illustrated a whole bunch of giant ‘rocks’ suspended in midair. Drake-like creatures were flying between the rocks.

“These also these never-before-seen creatures and plants. It’s impossible to re-create them by merely taming the forest’s magical beasts,” Reading the vast amount of information presented by the script’s concept arts, Madam Schroder felt a sense of headache. “Unless... the creator of this script was truly able to produce the world of Pandora. But, if some of the illustrations are to be truly filmed and presented to the audience...”

“Then this movie will become the greatest movie in history.” Morgan finished what Madam Schroder wanted to say.

Madam Schroder knew how difficult it was to film this movie. But, she was unwilling to give up on the script just because it was difficult.

“Illusions... But, ordinary illusion mages wouldn’t be able to create such... complicated illusions. Maybe Mister Joshua can do it.”

Madam Schroder immediately opened up her magic network interface. She established a connection with the World Tree’s leaf and sent a message stating ‘I want to know more about the details on the filming of the movie.’ to Joshua.

‘As long as Madam Schroder’s Black Swan Theatrical Troupe is ready, we can begin filming at any time. Currently, I have three filming sites in mind – Farucci, Demon Realm and Norland. I’ve already ordered my Lifeward Zenarth to proceed for Farucci a few days ago. He should’ve already converged with the Blackwood Elves by now. You can ask my Lifeward about how to proceed to the Demon Realm. Furthermore, one of Norland’s Sage will be in this movie’s production team. She will be able to create the world of Pandora.’

“...”

Madam Schroder soon finished reading the message sent over by Joshua. She also revealed the message to Morgan.

“The performers from your theatrical troupe are all very excited. Go ahead and announce the news to them,” said Morgan with a smile after reading the message. Then, he packed up his stuff and left the theater.

Only Madam Schroder and a whole bunch of Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s performers with eyes shining with excitement remained in the theater.

“Madam Schroder! Are we going to participate in the filming of a movie?!” A performer broke the silence with his question.

“FUrthermore, it’s Mister Joshua’s script again. Argh... I also wanted to participate in the filming of Master Morgan’s ‘Eyepicker!\'”

Madam Schroder was able to understand the excitement present on the faces of the performers both young and old.

The success of ‘Léon: The Demon’ was a part of the reason for their excitement. As for the other reason, it was because performing in a movie was much more interesting and relaxed.

Unlike stage plays, one will not have to repeatedly get on the stage to perform. Furthermore, when filming movies, one will no longer be performing on a stage with props.

“Quiet down.”

Madam Schroder gently tapped her forehead with her hand. Even though her voice wasn’t loud, the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s performers quickly quieted down.

They’ve participated in countless performances and have experienced countless pre-performance rehearsals like the one they’re experiencing now.

They were fully prepared to listen to Madam Schroder to announce what they will be performing in and what their characters would be.

“The script that we will be performing in this time is called ‘Avatar.’ If the filming is a success, our Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s name will be forever engraved in the annals of movie. This is a grand-scale movie. It is even grander than ‘Farucci’s Revolution.\'”

Hearing Madam Schroder’s words, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe started to whisper among themselves.

‘Farucci’s Revolution,’ it was a stage play that surpassed the boundaries of stage plays. It was a grand idea that the previous King Klund spent all his life writing.

His idea behind it was to reconstruct the great war of Farucci as much as possible. The stage for the play was a ghost city. The audiences were all on the city walls. Standing on the walls, they watched the bitter conflict being portrayed by the performers.

That stage play has only ever been performed once. Back when it was being performed, people described it to be something completely insane.

The members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe were truly unable to imagine exactly what sort of script would be even... grander... than that stage play where both the stage and performers attempted to re-enact a war.

“The synopsis for this movie is as: several hundred years in the future, we humans discovered another world, a world called Pandora. That world is abundant with natural resources and an endless amount of land. You all will be performing as members of humanity’s Vanguard Army charged with exploring Pandora.”

Madam Schroder gave a brief explanation of the story of Avatar. Just by hearing the brief explanation, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe were able to imagine what sort of script this was.

“Madam Schroder, are we going to be filming in the wilderness or a forest?”

A performer raised his hand and asked that question. The synopsis doesn’t sound like it would be a movie that’ll be filmed in a human city.

“We’ll have to stay in the wilderness or a forest? There’s too many bugs.”

“Scary. Will there be magical beasts...?”

Madam Schroder was able to clearly hear all the discussions from the performers. She had expected such a reaction.

Very few of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s performers came from ordinary birth. Most of them were nobilities. Many of them were the young misses from noble families.

While they might be willing to accompany the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe to perform all over Farucci, it might already be their limit to film ‘Léon: The Demon’ in Norland’s notorious Squirrel Street.

Yet this time, the filming location was even more outrageous.

“The filming site is not only a forest, it’s a forest not in Farucci,” Madam Schroder’s cold gaze swept across the performers of the Black Swan Theater Troupe as she informed them news that made them feel the urge to quit the theatrical troupe, “Instead, it’s in the Demon Realm.”
