The magic version of 3D projection technology amazed the kingdom citizens who came into contact with it for the first time. They felt like they were in the story at this moment, watching things happen in front of them with their own eyes, which can be said to be a full sense of immersion!
The plot of this first movie in the history of the Magic Kingdom is not complicated. It tells the story of the farmers at the bottom of the empire.
The male protagonist Dave was born into an ordinary serf family in the imperial barony. The early stories are also related to the daily encounters of this family, such as heavy labor, a large number of exorbitant taxes, exploitation by the lord's tax officers, and bullying by local bullies... …
They had more or less personally experienced all kinds of harsh treatment that Dave encountered in the movie. Naturally, they were filled with indignation and couldn't help but clenched their fists.
Countless troubles came one after another, which can only be described as harsh, but Dave shouldered them one by one. Supporting him through this endless suffering was the poor but warm family.
Although his mother died young, his father was Dave's most solid support. He seemed to have endless strength, and his wheat planting technology was also the best in the whole town!
In addition, Dave also has a fiancée, who is not very beautiful, but she is also a bright spot in this small town.
Such a difficult and peaceful life obviously did not last long. Under the anxious attention of everyone, the life that was originally manageable quickly ushered in a turning point.
First, the mountain-like father fell down due to malaria. The bishop in the church who preached God’s love for the world all day long chose to stand aside because he could not raise fifteen silver coins for treatment. The helpless Dave could only watch. He watched his father fall ill in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, another piece of bad news came. The young son of the local lord fell in love with Dave's fiancée while inspecting the territory. Instigated by several attendants, he failed to control himself and started to taint the other woman.
When the plot was at its most depressing, it finally broke out. In a rage, Dave took advantage of the night to sneak into the temporary residence of several people. He wielded farm tools and attacked and killed the son of the baron who had defiled his fiancée. Then he took him with him. He fled Nordland overnight with his fiancée...
"Good kill! That's how it should be, kill these damn nobles!" A strong worker shouted excitedly.
"And the bishop and the tax collector, we must not let them go!" Another rough-looking worker said angrily, waving his fists.
The rest of the people in the territory were equally excited, clamoring to make the nobles, priests and bullies who persecuted Dave pay a bloody price!
The shouts of tens of thousands of people made Tilar feel a little restless among them, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
A few years ago, no commoner would have dared to judge a noble or even a cleric in such a fair and honest manner, but now the situation has obviously changed!
The kingdom is no longer the domain of the nobility and the church...
Dave's outburst in the movie made all the townspeople who had been feeling aggrieved for more than half an hour let out a strong sigh of anger. At the same time, they couldn't help but feel a little worried. Killing nobles by civilians is a serious crime in the empire!
As everyone expected, the angry baron sent a large number of guards to hunt down the absconding Dave.
Although Dave relied on his agility and determination to escape round after round of arrests, the tainted fiancée was already mentally and physically exhausted and could not survive the days of hiding and even sleeping with half an eye open.
In a heavy rain, the two people who loved each other soon had to part ways.
Raindrops composed of magic and light and shadow fall from the sky. Although they do not soak clothes like real rain, they enhance the atmosphere to the extreme.
Everyone watching the movie in the audience was completely immersed in Dave's tragic situation. Even the man who weighed more than 200 pounds was crying so hard that he couldn't open his eyes at this moment.
Fortunately, in the second half of the movie, Dave's fortune finally turned around. Under some circumstances, he gained the appreciation of a wizard, became a wizard apprentice, and even joined an organization that resisted the brutal rule of the empire.
Here, Dave realized that the source of his past tragic experiences was not at all a test of the Lord as advertised by the church. There is no so-called kingdom of heaven in this world...
Dave, who has broken the shackles of common sense, finally awakens and prepares to work with other wizards to overthrow the rule of the empire and the church, and liberate those empire citizens who are still suffering from the abuse of the church and the oppression of the nobility.
After painstaking study and several experiences, Dave gradually grew from an apprentice to a formal wizard capable of acting on his own.
Perhaps it was fate, but during one of the team's operations, Dave discovered a bad behavior of local nobles oppressing the poor. It was almost a replica of what happened back then, except this time it didn't lead to tragedy.
Dave stood up firmly, killed the noble, helped the two loving civilian men and women evacuate to a safe place, and started a life-and-death showdown with a church bishop who came later!
The brilliance intertwined with divine magic and magic kept leaping up in the square. The townspeople who saw it kept exclaiming and secretly sweating for Dave. Several workers who couldn't stand it angrily picked up the things on the ground. The stone was thrown fiercely at the bishop in an attempt to interfere with the opponent's spellcasting!
But this was obviously just a useless effort. The stone passed directly through the bishop's body. As spectators, they could not interfere with the development of the matter!
Fortunately, after a hard fight, Dave defeated the enemy with difficulty.
Although he failed to protect his wife back then, after gaining strength, he protected the happiness of others!
The movie ended abruptly here, resting on Dave's slightly forlorn back. The whole process lasted more than three hours, which can only be described as long. However, the townspeople watched it with gusto, and even felt like watching it for two or three more times. No problem for hours!
Although the ending of the movie is relatively satisfactory, there are still many blank spaces in the content. For example, after becoming an official wizard, will Dave return to his former barony to avenge the evil deeds of the local nobility and church.
As a filmmaker and screener, Sean of course understood the expectations of the public, and soon announced [Dave II - The Secret of the Moon! ] will be officially aired in three months and will be screened in cities throughout the Magic Kingdom.
The title of the movie alone made people think a lot, and some brave townspeople even began to talk about what shameful things the Moon God had done in private.
Listening to the comments of the untouchables in his ears, Tilar, who had also watched the entire movie, felt a chill in his heart. He could naturally tell that the wizards were trying to shake the belief in the Moon God from the foundation.
So much so that after watching the movie, I came up with the idea at the last moment that the death of the bishop and the nobles before him was so satisfying. But in fact, whether it was the son of the baron who defiled Dave's fiancée, the pastor of the church, or In fact, the bishop did not do anything really extraordinary.
After all, all the serfs in the entire territory were the property of the lord. Let alone defilement, even if they were killed directly, it would only be a fine paid to the church.
Some of the wilderness areas in the northern border of the empire even have the tradition of first-night rights, but many lords have no intention of fulfilling it at all, because the appearance of most peasant women is really hard to compliment.
Tilar thought angrily, but did not notice that their abnormal performance had been recorded.
"No. 69, No. 137, No. 540, No. 7031, and No. 9520 behaved abnormally while watching the movie and need to be arrested. Arrest? Sir Sean?" A wizard glanced at the townspeople who were preparing to leave, and asked in a low voice.
They played movies on a loop in every city in the empire. In addition to propaganda, they were also a means of identifying ourselves and our enemies.
Those who agree with parliamentary rule, when watching "The Legend of Dave", their emotions will fluctuate with the progress of the plot, and they will also sympathize with the protagonist's experience. However, according to their investigation, there were several townspeople who just watched the movie. Min, I watched the movie with a gloomy face throughout.
Sean naturally noticed the abnormality of these people, but he waved his hands to stop the other party from further actions. "I already know their identities. They should all be members of the Moon Watchers. Let's spare their lives for the time being! This is also an order from above..."
"As long as they don't take too drastic actions, don't pay attention to their actions."
Having said this, Sean turned to look at the secret guard covering his face. "Pim, you can continue to keep an eye on them."
"Sir Sean, what about the resurrection of the Moon God..." Pim asked hesitantly. This matter seemed extremely important to him, but the wizard from the royal capital in front of him hardly cared about it. thing.
"I have already reported it. When I return to the capital in a few days, I will personally tell the Lord about your findings." Sean explained succinctly.
In fact, he had received similar information more than once when the movie was shown on a loop in the kingdom. The Moon Watchers were not the only remnant church organization on the entire continent.
He vaguely guessed the reason for the Moon God's "awakening". Only a few senior officials in the entire council knew that the god the church believed in was captured from a foreign land by the magic star. Perhaps this was the reason why some clergymen suddenly Reason for restoring spellcasting ability.
As for why these remnants of the church were allowed to act, Sean didn't understand. However, the speaker's power was unfathomable and his wisdom was vast. It was not something they could guess. Following orders was undoubtedly the most correct choice. .
Seeing that Sean remained tight-lipped and unwilling to reveal too much, Pim also knew enough not to ask any more questions. He couldn't help but guess that maybe the [Moonwatcher] organization was used by the Parliament for fishing. This group of aristocrats and churches who are not very bright-minded. The remnants cannot make any waves, but the existence of this organization can fish out those careerists who are hiding in the dark and oppose the rule of the parliament.
"Okay, we should clean up and go to the next place!" After the tens of thousands of townspeople watching the movie dispersed in an orderly manner, Sean took back the nine projection stones and used his own cleaning method. magic.
An inexplicable magical wind blew by, gently lifting the tables and chairs that were swaying on the ground.
The target of the second burst of magical wind is the peel garbage scattered on the ground... and is responsible for the work of dust removal and cleaning up.
In less than half a minute, the originally messy town square became neat and tidy.
Sean nodded with great satisfaction. His self-created cleaning magic seemed to be perfect and he just needed to name it.
Unlike most wizards who focus on researching how to make spells more powerful, Sean is not very interested in fighting. He still prefers to study magic that can make life easier.
Although the Parliament is still facing some crises, and the development of combat magic is still the top priority, there should be enough people responsible for researching similar spells, and there must be someone responsible for making life easier, right?
…
Sean stayed in the North for two weeks, which was also the last stop of the Kingdom's screening tour. Then he took the airship with satisfaction and returned to the Kingdom with his work, and got Lin En as soon as possible. summoned.
"Sir Sean, I have watched the movie you made. The script is very good, much more exciting than I expected!" Linn was not shy about his words of appreciation.
This is Kingdom's first movie, and it is also the first time that Sean and others have filmed a movie. Combining so many elements, the effect is unexpectedly good, completely beyond his expectations.
"Thanks to the book you gave me about script creation and lens use, I was able to complete the filming of the movie within half a year." Sean spoke humbly, and after a pause, he continued with emotion. "Some time ago, listening to the civilians recount their past experiences also gave me a lot of inspiration. I just put their stories together."
A very important factor why his "Dave" is so popular throughout the kingdom is that the plot is adapted from a true story and is played by the person involved. Naturally, the acting skills are superb and the effect is outstanding!
Of course, the real Dave did not have the reverse situation in the second half of the movie, and his fate was much more tragic. This time he participated in the movie and fulfilled his dream back then!
Linn patted Sean on the shoulder, praised him a few more times, and then talked about some of the problems he discovered while watching the movie.
For example, the length of time is too long for a movie of more than three hours, and the details of the plot are not appropriate. Some boring plots can be deleted or even removed without affecting the main plot of the movie.
Sean nodded. He had discovered these problems during hundreds of screenings. Fortunately, the film's premiere was novel enough, so the people of the kingdom were able to tolerate the relatively boring plot in the early stage.
"By the way, Speaker Lynn." Sean suddenly remembered the business and hurriedly reported. "During this tour, I received a lot of information about the Moon God. I heard from a secret guard that the remaining priests of the church seem to have recovered their ability to cast spells."
