Yin Lian has always favored the image of the devil in TV dramas or animations - slim-fitting clothes with a bohemian cape, which makes him look really aura, charming and charming.
Men's clothes are not as eye-catching in color and design as women's clothes, but they are no less sophisticated. Of course, as far as stage performances are concerned, it is useless to make the costumes too elaborate - people may not be able to see clearly from such a distance. Therefore, Yin Lian's "fineness" is actually focused on fabrics, shapes and wear and tear designs.
The clothes Yin Lian brought were divided into practice clothes and performance clothes. Both types of clothes are basically the same design, but the performance clothes are obviously much more refined and beautiful than the practice clothes. The costumes were put away and the actors were asked to put on their practice uniforms and then practice how to look cool with them.
The half-cape is a great costume to look cool in, but unfortunately most actors fail to capture the essence of it. Yin Lian had no choice but to demonstrate it to them.
She felt that she was an expert at playing Salmati and pretending to be the Mage King. But there was nothing we could do about it, after all, people at this time lacked the concept of dramatic performance.
In fact, the best way is to directly get a bunch of stage play videos and let them watch them all. This is the fastest way to establish a complete concept. But this cannot explain the source of these videos, so Yin Lian can only choose the stupidest method for the time being, which is to demonstrate in person.
She didn't change clothes, but directly took off the half-length cape on her training uniform and put it on. Then he directly performed a series of difficult and cool moves to demonstrate to people how to use this cool prop to the maximum extent.
Yin Lian's motor skills were already pretty good, and she often did similar movements. Now she was naturally able to demonstrate them in a decent manner. Among these actors, even if they were bards or singers and dancers, none of them had ever seen such a mature and handsome posture - they were immediately shocked.
Yin Lian's actions broke their understanding of drama and transformed the drama from a flat and pale interpretation into an extremely colorful and imaginative world.
Some people are puzzled by this kind of performance: "But... isn't the Mage King a mage?" Why is such a fighting action needed?
Yin Lian knew what he meant and said: "Yes, the Mage King is indeed a mage, but he obviously was not a mage from the beginning. You know that before the Heavenly Code, known as the Magic Holy Book, appeared, What is the identity of Master Wang Luda?"
The other party was stunned for a moment.
The story of the Wizard King and Salmati has a long history, but due to the education situation and information dissemination methods in the Matir Continent, many people may not actually understand this story as well as the people of the Sage City. What they know more about is actually just the beautiful colors inside, but they don't understand the more historical parts at all.
Fortunately, not everyone is like this. For example, professions such as bards are often quite familiar with such legends, and are not very affected by the church's information blockade. Martier's church is also far less domineering than the large religions on Earth - although in many cases, the real reason may not be that they don't want to, but that it is really difficult to do.
Mathil has a vast territory and is sparsely populated. Whether it is a kingdom or a holy capital, it often only has relatively strong control over the imperial city and the surrounding areas. It will be difficult to control the outside areas. The most important reason is that the population is too scattered. Bards happen to be people who wander these areas for a long time, spreading knowledge and gossip. Big news like the Mage King, which happens only once in three thousand years, is naturally a hot topic in their legends. It is used to connect it with Salmati and the Heroic War. It is simply celebrity gossip that everyone loves to hear.
The reputation of the Mage King is not as bad as that of many particularly cruel mages. In essence, he is still a hero king, but most of the time he is used as a villain in various folk rumors and church interpretations. In this regard, this drama may be the first time in so many years that the Mage King has played a positive protagonist.
congratulations.
However, for more people, especially those who are proficient in history, the meaning of the Mage King is actually very complicated, far more than just an evil mage. Aside from mages, bards are probably the ones who feel this the most.
A bard quickly answered this question: "His Majesty Luda himself was originally the King of Wisdom and one of the seven heroic kings."
Yin Lian nodded and said, "Do you think he had never been on the battlefield before obtaining the Heaven's Book?"
The answer is definitely no.
Although the Wizard King was known for his wisdom before he obtained magic, it only shows that he is superior in intelligence. He can be called one of the seven hero kings. Even if his combat ability may be slightly inferior to others, he is definitely outstanding and far better than ordinary warriors.
It is obviously a wrong perception to think that he is a weak mage with no power.
The person who asked the question before was quite smart, so he understood it after hearing what he said.
Action scenes should be an important part of the stage composition. Martier's actors have a natural advantage in this aspect. How can they not take advantage of it?
Yin Lian has realized this since he noticed the actors' physical fitness. The acting skills are mediocre and can be made up for with technique. Musical theater performances are inherently comprehensive performances, with music, dance, acting, and story... all important components. The script and lines of "The Wizard King" are very good, but the actors' line skills and acting skills are slightly inferior. However, due to their own talents and qualities, dancing and singing can be trained intensively.
&
nbsp;As for choreography and martial arts guidance, Yin Lian also has some ideas. With reference to some classic scenes from Earth, a series of dance and fighting scenes that were not innovative but very classic were quickly designed.
Of course, you can’t let go of your lines, manners, and acting skills training either. They still have a lot to learn.
In the following process, Yin Lian conducted rigorous training for all performers to ensure that they could be the best within their abilities.
Because she had been staying in Mathil during this period, although she would go back regularly, the time she stayed in China was obviously very different. Therefore, the domestic dramas started to be rehearsed earlier, and the rehearsal period was shorter. In the end, it was It was Martial who completed the drama earlier.
Although this process spans a long time.
Yin Lian stayed in Matil for more than half a year. Because she would go home every day to reset her physical condition, her appearance did not change much. If she didn't do this, she would grow very fast at her age. If someone saw her height, It jumped up suddenly, but one day it suddenly shrank back, which might arouse suspicion.
It is normal for mages to age slowly and grow slowly. Although I have not heard much about it, since magic can cause different changes in the body, no one knows what the actual effects will be.
Yin Lian's current abnormality is still within the understandable range for mages, but for civilians, it is just proof that she is a mage.
But reverse growth is different, and its value is very different.
After more than half a year of planning, all work on "The Mage King" has been completed. For mages who can often come in through the back door to watch rehearsals, they no longer have any doubts about the influence of "The Mage King". Although after the rehearsal started, Yin Lian completely closed the theater for the sake of confidentiality and freshness, and also set up a formation to prohibit other mages and irrelevant personnel from entering and watching, but many of the previous clips were enough to establish the relationship for insiders. confidence.
Out of high affection and admiration for the drama creator, although Yin Lian's closure of the theater made many people unhappy, most of them chose to endure it for the sake of possible surprises later. Of course, it is more likely that more changes in the City of Sages attracted their attention.
Yin Lian spent more than half a year in the City of Sages doing nothing but rehearsing plays. Although drama rehearsals also take time, the timeline is very long after all. Once you have done what you need to do, the later rehearsals are what really takes time. These repeated trainings often do not require Yin Lian to watch nervously all the time.
In her spare time, in addition to preparing for some supporting work for the drama, Yin Lian also worked hard in other aspects. Although theater is a common form of entertainment, it is not all entertainment. Yin Lian also played some other tricks - for example, during the preparation time for the release, he tried to develop some props - such as the magic record.
In fact, Mathil himself possesses magical technologies such as projection crystals or recording crystals. Unfortunately, considering the cost, flexibility of use, and difficulty of preservation, Yin Lian chose a more convenient tool.
Of course, the convenience and advantages of magic must also be used.
She made a kind of optical disc, which itself uses the principle of the earth's optical disc, but Yin Lian used some magic techniques to carve on discarded magic crystals or other low-magic materials. This abandoned magic crystal can only store weak magic power, but Yin Lian can use magic resonance technology to read it. The production cost is relatively low, the materials are easy to obtain, and the effect is excellent.
Her current abilities are still relatively limited, and she cannot design a high-end player that transcends the earth, but it is not a big problem to pick up people's wisdom.
But records can be played like this, but videos are difficult. If he wanted to use the revised playback equipment, Yin Lian calculated the engineering volume and cost and felt that it would be better to use the projection crystal directly - although the effect is not necessarily better, stereoscopic projection has the advantages of stereoscopic projection.
So in the end Yin Lian just used the combination mode of magic CD and projection crystal.
Soon the day of the performance came, and Yin Lian also invited nobles from various countries, but he knew that there might not be too many people coming. This is different from previous food festivals. The food festival itself does not harm anyone, but the musical of "The Wizard King" is different - it has a strong tendency, with objects of praise and objects of attack. .
But the situation is better than expected. Although the number of people from countries that have good relations with the Mage Association is relatively limited, a large number of people came from the Green Gold Capital, and they were all big shots.
Among them were a prince, two princesses, and a duke from the Green Gold Kingdom, as well as several other nobles, musicians, and artists.
The young Princess Mero had never been to the City of Sages before, but she had obviously admired the food in the City of Sages for a long time. She looked up and asked her sister: "Sister Eros, after we arrive in the City of Sages, will we Will there be the legendary golden bread?”
Eros said helplessly: "Mello, we are not here to taste delicious food."
Mero curled his lips and said, "What kind of art can there be in a magician's territory?"
Just as they were talking, they had arrived in front of the teleportation array.
After a dizzying teleportation, a group of people arrived at the teleportation point closest to the theater in the Capital of Sages. From this distance, you could basically hear the music coming from the theater. Mello heard the beautiful music that he had never heard before, and his eyes widened immediately: "What kind of music is this!?"
