As a new art form, magic shadow is different from all art in the past and requires higher professionalism from its practitioners.
For example, in poetry, even an illiterate old farmer can recite a few sentences casually after years of hard work. For example, in drama, many of them are adapted from folk tales.
As for the creation of the magic shadow, simplified to the extreme, it is also an extremely exquisite stage play, recorded in the form of magical images. If it is more complicated, the magical images need to be edited bit by bit.
Similar to the difference between video editing and computer animation on Earth.
Relevant practitioners need to have one or more abilities in illusion editing, scene layout, perspective adjustment, plot design, character performance, etc.
On Earth, film is known as the seventh art after literature, drama, music, sculpture, painting, and architecture, and obviously in this magical world, The Phantom should have similar potential.
In the early stages, you may need to spend money to develop and promote it, but a brand-new art form will definitely bloom its due charm.
…
At the opening ceremony, after watching the two-hour "Legend of Shadows", almost everyone was still unsatisfied, including Sha Duo, the creator of "Dungeon Treasure Hunt".
In response to the calls of countless people, Xia Duo replayed the legend of the Demon Shadow again, so much so that the opening ceremony of this cultural and arts festival turned into a Demon Shadow promotion meeting!
But at this moment, neither Xia Duo nor anyone else cares about these details, and one by one they return to the mysterious and unpredictable adventure journey in the Underdark.
After the second broadcast, many people still shouted for it to be played again, but this time Xia Duo was not satisfied with them. After all, there was more than one demon in the opening ceremony performance, and replaying it would eliminate some excellent works.
The first replay can be said to be what everyone expected, but the second time it seemed too deliberate.
After the Phantom, the original arrangement was for a new play to be rehearsed by Lawrence and others, but considering that the minds of the audience in the square just now may still be in the dark area, they have not been able to return to the main body.
So, Chateau asked Leighton to adjust the order of performances, moving the pioneering chant performance that was originally at the back to the front. It was already October. At this time in previous years, the end of summer had just passed, and there was still no sound in the air. How cool.
But now the climate in the North has undergone major changes due to the collapse of the Dragon Madness Lock. It has just arrived in October, and there is already a slight chill in the air.
Let’s not mention the outsiders, most of them are spell casters. Most of Xia Duo’s subjects came to Codex Square to watch the opening ceremony of the Culture and Art Festival, and most of them had already changed into autumn clothes.
Not too thick, but not too thin either, to resist the coolness of autumn clothes in unusual weather.
But the people who performed the pioneering chant were all naked from the waist up, holding various tools for pioneering in their hands, and lined up in two teams to hula la and use them on the field in the center of the square.
One of the group leaders, who looked like a group leader, deliberately shouted in a long tone——
"Guys—it's time to start—"
Then the members of the two working groups responded together: "Here it comes -"
"Guys—" the group leader sang.
"It's time to start work!" the team members said.
"Large saw——"
"Pull the big saw!"
"Turn over the land——"
"Turn over the land!"
"Work hard and work hard!"
"Work hard!"
“Looking forward to the new style of life!”
"Good looking forward to it!"
…
The form of the pioneering chant is basically one chant and one chorus, performed alternately, with a sonorous and powerful tone. The lyrics obviously show traces of artificial processing, but they are also mixed with actual shouts from a lot of labor.
When the two working groups in the center of the square performed, many of the Daxia leaders who were watching around them responded, so much so that the voices of the audience overwhelmed the performers.
However, this is the voice of workers themselves. The performers are workers and the audience is also workers. Naturally, they should speak in unison.
Xia Duo could tell that this was not a deliberate arrangement by Leiden, but that the residents felt it and responded naturally. This scene really shocked all the guests from out of town.
…
After being refreshed by the pioneering number, the audience's minds returned to the opening ceremony itself, and the normal sequence of performances followed.
First, there were excerpts from Lawrence and others' new plays, interspersed with performances by ordinary citizens, and elves from Akaola participated in the performance. Although they only performed a piece of poetry and singing that reflected the new style movement in Great Xia, it also aroused an embarrassing response. More sensation than the demon shadow.
After today, only a few people in the entire territory know the complete performance catalog. Although there were elves wandering around the territory almost half a month ago, no one would think that the elves would perform for a group of ordinary people.
But it still happened, and even the guests from out of town found it unbelievable, not to mention those who came from the three sides of Tianshui. They were more inclined to think that the elves were enemies, so it was very unbelievable to see the enemies performing here.
As for outsiders from the three dimensions of Tianshui, those who have the opportunity to come to Daxia Territory have probably seen elves’ performances in the past, but even Xia Duo knows that if he wants to invite elves to perform, at least It also requires an environment of certain specifications.
Although today's Great Xia Territory ranks at the forefront of Netheril in terms of total population, in terms of prosperity and class in the eyes of the elves, it is still far inferior to Severnton.
Especially those artists who are proud of their talents. Many of them are also spellcasters. In a rural place like Daxia Territory, it is actually difficult to invite an elf artist to perform.
In fact, these Akora artists who came this time are non-mainstream existences in the elf society. They sympathize with and support the bottom class, but they are elves, and the bottom class they identify with are more like them. Elf.
rather than humans.
At first, Xia Duo just wanted to give it a try and asked Lawrence to invite the elf artists from Akaula to perform at the opening ceremony. Unexpectedly, some elf actually agreed.
But there is only one. Although other elves are willing to participate in the art festival, they may not be willing to perform in person in public.
And Xia Duo also recognized that the elf who was playing and singing poetry at the scene was the elf he saw at the Seven Villages of Linshui a few days ago. At that time, a child was naughty and injured his hand in the wheat field, and it was this elf who gave him the gift. Cured.
…
The appearance of the elves was another climax at the opening ceremony of this art festival. However, at this climax, no one shouted for "Let's do it again." However, there were no shortage of cheers and applause.
After the elves, although the performance of the citizens was also wonderful, after the stimulation of the previous two climaxes, the audience's emotions were almost exhausted. In addition, the opening ceremony was extended due to the replay of the demon shadow, and it became more and more... It seems a bit boring later on.
