Chapter 524: Debate

Morgan followed Joshua back to the Whitebud Theater, which was still as lively as when he "worked" here last time.

Audiences who came to watch the movie formed a long queue at the entrance of the theater. Although it was not as hot as when a new movie was released, this kind of queue was very rare in Farosi's theater.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, what are those...?"

Morgan noticed that besides the ticket counter, there was a special counter selling some strange things.

Under the counter are clear glass containers in which are placed large amounts of white... food.

"The product of sweet jade heated at high temperature, and then sprinkled with some caramel will become a very delicious snack, but let's describe it as a snack here."

Joshua walked to the counter and signaled the waiter behind to take a copy and handed it to Morgan.

"I only promoted this kind of food in theaters two months ago, Master Morgan, you don't know it's normal." Qiao Xiu said.

"Dessert…"

Morgan took a small wooden barrel that Joshua handed over, and the objects inside were like white snowflakes sprinkled with dark golden paste, exuding an appetizing aroma.

If Morgan's apprentice Femes was here, Furry's ears and tail would definitely stand up, wanting to take a share.

In fact, Jia Luoli, who was next to her, had already run to the waiter at the counter and took out her small wallet to buy a copy.

"I'm too old to be attached to this kind of food anymore."

After Morgan shook his head and returned it to Joshua, he looked towards the entrance area of ​​the Whitebud Theater.

He noticed that many spectators walked into the viewing channel with what Joshua called 'snacks' and some fruit juice.

"In Fallowse...any audience who eats during the stage play will be regarded as rude by other audiences, and even worse, they will be kicked out." Mrs. Caesar doesn't seem to like seeing the audience holding food Sitting in the audience: "This is a very disrespectful act for the actors of the stage play."

"But Mrs. Nishizawa, movies are not as elegant as stage plays."

Joshua handed the popcorn in his hand to Jia Luoli, but the girl shook her head immediately after seeing her mother.

It is probably because Mrs. Caesar stipulated that Jialuoli should not eat too much sweets, and the bucket of popcorn just now was already the limit.

"The tickets for the Whitebud Theater are much cheaper than Fallowhi's stage play, and the audience who come here to watch the movie is also for a moment of relaxation and enjoyment." Qiao Xiu looked at Mrs. Caesar and said, "This is what I set for the movie. Not just art that anyone can appreciate, but art that can be enjoyed.”

"Is it more entertainment than art?" Morgan quickly understood what Joshua meant: "This is also the advantage that movies have, for example, after I have experienced a hard work, I can sit in the audience Drinking fruit juice and watching the shocking battles in "Avatar", just thinking about it is a pleasant thing."

"But the next film I want to make is something that the audience can sit back and enjoy, basically what you mean by art."

Joshua led Mrs. Caesar and the others straight to the study room of the Whitebud Theater, which was originally the place where Sir Whitebud worked.

Since Qiao Xiu became the real owner of the Baijinghua Theater, the owner here has also become Qiao Xiu.

After Joshua unsealed the desk drawer with the inscription, he took out a heavy movie script and handed it to Morgan.

"The Shawshank Redemption." After reading out the name of the script, Morgan turned to the first page and began to browse.

He spent nearly half an hour carefully studying the entire script, and even took out his glasses and put them on on the way, hoping to see more clearly.

"I feel a power."

After reading it, Morgan raised his head and muttered to himself.

"A force that is pushed back, Mr. Qiao Xiu, the theme that this script wants to express must be hope, right?"

Qiao Xiu was about to answer Morgan's question, but Mrs. Caesar who was next to him suddenly intervened in the conversation.

"Master Morgan, I think the theme of this script is definitely freedom..."

Mrs. Caesar's voice changed from the previous respect, and replaced it with a strong feeling that she would only use when directing the Black Swan Troupe in rehearsals.

"I don't deny what you said, Mrs. Caesar, but I think what the script itself wants to express is hope."

Although Morgan had a smile on his face, his voice carried a meaning that could not be refuted.

"The theme of freedom can be read from the hero Andy..."

Mrs. Caesar didn't seem ready to compromise with Morgan, and just like this, two people from the top of Fallowhi's show business had a debate about the differences of opinion caused by this script.

Joshua wisely chose to come to the corner and watched the discussion between the two of them with Jia Luoli, and by the way, rubbed some popcorn in Jia Luoli's hand.

"It's coming again." Jialuoli complained to Joshua in a low voice.

"Does your mother often do this?"

Joshua didn't expect Mrs. Caesar to be unable to control her emotions like this. This sociable duchess should clearly know that she shouldn't hurt her friendship with some important people just because of this 'little thing'.

"My mother will be very serious about the script. Three years ago, my mother had an argument with another playwright about the stage play of "The Eye Picker." Jia Luoli whispered next to Qiao Xiu Say: "What is your new movie about? The plot shouldn't be very complicated, right?"

"Not complicated, a very simple story."

Qiao Xiu listened quietly to the debate between Morgan and Mrs. Caesar. If these two changed their careers to become film critics, they could be said to be at the professional level.

"How long are they going to argue?" Joshua asked in a low voice as he looked at Jia Luoli who was almost finished eating the popcorn next to him.

"I don't know." Jia Luoli shook her head, expressing that there was nothing she could do.

Finally, after Mrs. Caesar and Morgan discussed philosophical issues about various aspects of "The Shawshank Redemption", they finally turned their attention to Joshua.

"Mr. Qiao Xiu, what do you think of this script?" Mrs. Caesar asked.

Sure enough... is it here?

Joshua put down the popcorn he brought from Jia Luoli, and spoke after organizing his words for a few seconds.

"Is this important?" Joshua said with a stiff smile on his face: "The really interesting thing about a great book is that everyone who reads it has a different interpretation, and this movie is the same , every viewer has their own opinion about it.”

Joshua is not good at doing things like film reviews, but fortunately, this passage successfully allowed Mrs. Caesar and Morgan to reach a settlement.
