Regarding the issue of the new play, Chateau and Lawrence quickly formed a unified opinion on revisions. Finally, Chateau asked:
"There are revisions for the new drama, is there still enough time?"
"There is enough time. The amendments proposed by the lord are in line with the current situation of the Great Xia Territory. We entertainers have all experienced it personally. Now we are just performing the most real part of life with a little artistic expression. There will be no If it’s a problem, Lord, please don’t worry.”
"That's good."
Xia Duo nodded and then asked about the preparations for the cultural festival. He had always attached great importance to the cultural field. Lawrence knew this very well. When Xia Duo asked about it, his expression couldn't help but become serious:
"Actually, during the exchange in Akola, I thought that after I came back, the lord might find an opportunity for me to show the results of the exchange, or give the literary and artistic workers in the territory a chance to perform.
"At that time, I thought about how to organize this kind of event. I referred to the experience of the Elf Kingdom's large gathering and made this artist's art tour. It not only included traditional expressions grown in our country, but also came from the Elf Kingdom. The latest expression.
"But the content expressed in these forms of expression comes from the local area, or to be more precise, from the Daxia Territory and the Tower of Time. It contains many elements of production, life, and study life that are most familiar to everyone in the territory."
"Well, that's a good idea, but what's the specifics?" Sha Duo continued to ask.
"I have prepared three main units. The first one is a new style art exhibition that reflects the results of the New Life Movement in the territory. There are no restrictions on the specific exhibition items, and the exhibitors can use them as they wish. It can be sculptures, songs, or labor. A new tool, new technique, etc., the exhibitors are all the citizens of the territory, as long as they register and submit their works before the Autumn Harvest Festival."
Lawrence seemed ambitious when he introduced the New Style Art Exhibition, and Chateau also saw that Lawrence was prepared to use this exhibition as the main form of expression of the first art festival.
What Shado originally thought was that Lawrence would use more artistic expressions of elves. In that case, even if there would be a considerable degree of localized filling, it might not be acclimatized and look nondescript.
But now, this form is indeed very good, and Xia Duo is really looking forward to it. Art is not instilled from top to bottom by artists, but allows the people to discover and refine it from the most common life to form a real people. Express.
Although there may be many immature works for the first time, as long as you persist, you will be able to become your own brand sooner or later.
Thinking of this, Xia Duo couldn't help but ask: "Is the New Style Art Exhibition rated? Who will rate it?"
"Of course there is a rating. The exhibitors are all the citizens of the territory, so the rating is naturally done by all the citizens of the territory. The people will naturally select the works they think are the best."
"Aren't you worried that the person who won first place in the end will be a nondescript person?" Sha Duo asked again.
"Don't worry, I think any work that can be recognized by the majority of people must have its own meaning. As long as it conforms to the theme of this art festival's New Style Art Exhibition, no matter how nondescript it looks at the moment, it will always be given to it in the future. Clear your name." Lawrence said confidently.
Hearing this, Chateau immediately felt relieved, knowing that Lawrence was neither a pedantic executor nor an overly frivolous and unconventional art madman, but a steady and trustworthy leader.
He can also more safely leave the first art festival in the territory to Lawrence. The name "Wild Poetry" that was spread in Severington in the past is obviously the outside world's misunderstanding of Lawrence!
"Go on, what other units are there?" Sha Duo motioned to Lawrence to continue.
"There is also a tour of new plays at the Linshui Theater here. The one you just saw, sir, is just one of them. There are also four new plays that will be performed non-stop at the two main venues during the festival."
Chateau is aware of the two main venues, which are Codex Square and Altar Square. As for the central square in Savile Town, this art festival does not limit the identity of the participants, but it still prefers large-scale venues in the selection of venues. Xia leads this side.
"The above two units can be regarded as local art. In the third unit, I plan to make a localized innovation of elf art, using the form of elf art to express our local characteristics."
At this point, Lawrence finally explained all the three major units of this art festival, but he did not stop there. Instead, he hesitated and asked Chateau:
"Actually, I have another idea, but I don't know if the lord can agree to it?"
"What do you think? Are you planning to invite the elves over?" Sha Duo said jokingly.
He didn't think it was a good idea. He held an art festival in his own territory, and it was an art festival that mainly promoted new-style art exhibitions. Let the elves mix in. He could imagine what kind of repercussions this incident would cause throughout the North. .
But to Sha Duo's surprise, it was Lawrence who nodded seriously, "Lord, you guessed it right. I just want to invite a group of elf artists to come to the territory. There is still one month left before the art festival, which is enough for them to collect and create in the territory. .”
"So that's what you had in mind!"
Xia Duo never wanted to please the elves, so whether he had to force himself to cater to the elves or find pro-human elements among the elves to come and get money for publicity, it was not what he wanted.
If a relatively objective elf is invited to come over, let alone whether he can be invited. Even if he is invited, others may not speak according to his wishes.
So why does Lawrence say this?
"You want to find some elf artists from Akora who you got to know during the exchange?"
"Yes, during the exchange in Akora, I met many elven artists, some of whom were very interested in the Great Xia Territory I described, and they have no prejudice against humans. In addition, now Akora and Netherese I have an almost vassal relationship with you, and I am confident that they will create good works."
"What if they deliberately discredit us after they go back? What are you going to do? Can you still chase Akora to hold them accountable?" Sha Duo asked.
"This -" Lawrence hesitated, seeming to realize that there are hidden dangers in doing so, but after all, he had been communicating with Akola for more than a year, and was immersed in the influence of elven art every day. He also hoped that human art or human Some of its connotations can be recognized by elves.
After a moment of silence, Lawrence said with some embarrassment: "I think this can only be restrained by your personal relationship with Lord Akora."
"Need not!"
Shado rejected Lawrence's proposal without hesitation, "Since I have decided to hold an art festival, I don't care about being seen by outsiders. The outsiders here refer not only to the humans in the mainland of Netheril, but also to the elves outside Netheril." .
