Chapter 1028: An Unusual Theatre Experience (II)
Translator: TransN Editor: TransN
The audience didn’t divert their attention from the breathtaking shots as the camera shifted its focus from the sky to the earth.
In fact, the sudden influx of the images made the movie even more fascinating. Victor was overwhelmed by the bustling marketplace and the splendid inner palace in the movie. He fought his urge to stand up and touch the throne, as he didn’t want to cause any unintended loss to “the third party”,
The audience in the hall sucked in their breaths. Words had completely abandoned them. Every now and then, they uttered short cries of surprise.
They were awestruck by every single change in the scene.
They gave an involuntary exclamation at the first appearance of the princess.
They cried out as the princess transformed into a wolf when she turned 14.
They yelled when the foreign prince visited the country.
When they saw the princess lose control of her power and destroy the palace, the entire hall was stirred.
Completely different from a traditional theatre where the audience was supposed to keep quiet and stay calm, the “movie theatre” exploded with interjections.
Victor knew this had nothing to do with the audience’s manner. They simply couldn’t contain themselves. The viewers, on one hand, enjoyed the new theatre experience and feared what would happen next on the other. They had no way to channel their emotions but to produce various odd sounds. Only in this way would they know that they weren’t dreaming and that somebody was with them witnessing the wonder!
Roland would probably categorize the audience’s reactions as another type of “bullet screens”.
While the audience was shouting, the princess transformed herself into a giant wolf and departed for the snow land. When she leaped over his head, Victor felt all his hair stand on its end. He almost wanted to bolt out from the room.
However, a beautiful song calmed him down.
All his uneasiness dissolved into a multitude of feelings: sadness, bitterness, relief, and determination. Victor felt his eyes filling!
At that moment, he seemed to understand the princess. He felt sorrowful for her being wronged but also proud of her bravery.
The scene changed with the flow of the sweet melody and the storyline of the film. Victor was deeply moved by the tune. Looking back on his own experience, he found resonance in the song.
Who had not been wronged or misunderstood before?
Yet most people choose to remain silent!
Victor was not afraid of the wolf girl anymore. He applauded her decision to leave!
Victor seemed to see past the wolf girl to himself, who had also left his native town.
Without a shadow of a doubt, the music was a stroke of genius. It did not steal the focus but was instead in perfect harmony with the movie.
From the loud applause of the audience, he knew the song had moved everybody in the hall. The whole room suddenly erupted into a deafening cheer at this moment.
In a split second, Victor had already formed his opinion on the movie.
Roland’s advertisement was not exaggerating at all.
It was definitely a masterpiece ahead of its time!
…
He lost.
The moment the song rang, Kajen knew he had lost to May. It was not about his personal failure. In fact, “The Wolf Princess” defeated his new play in every aspect.
Plays were essentially a form of entertainment.
At first, Kajen had been dumbstruck by the film and wondered how Roland could possibly achieve this. Soon, he became numb to the constant shock. The magic movie simply blew him away. All his knowledge about acting accumulated over the past decades seemed to become incredibly absurd.
The audience in the theatre actually had quite high expectations of new plays. Although they were not as picky as nobles, they did know the difference between a good play and a bad one. In other words, it was hard to fool them. Yet, when watching the new movie, everybody was now flabberghasted like an ignorant and uncivilized country bumpkin.
