“Teach the way to film movies?”

Madam Schroder didn’t understand what Joshua meant by ‘film’ movies. But, she soon realized that it must be the method of movie manufacture.

Ever since she watched ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ Madam Schroder acted like she had discovered a new world. That is to say, she realized that there was actually ‘a new way for screenplay.’

Needless to doubt, the people from Farucci prided themselves in their noble artistic accomplishments. Farucci possessed an entire system to cultivate stage play performers. They even possess specialized art institutes.

But, when compared to ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ the performance method for stage plays was simply too artificial.

Movies presented to the audience a ‘real’ world. Most importantly, it no longer required the performers to repeatedly perform the same scene after the filming was over. Once the movies were stored in originium crystals, they could easily spread through the entire world.

That was one of the main reasons why Madam Schroder was in such a rush to find the person who created ‘Beauty and the Demon.’

This could be described with a classic phrase — ‘The world has changed. Those who refused to change with the world will have their heads beheaded by the blade of natural selection!’

“In that case, Mister Joshua, how do you plan to teach film-making? In terms of performance, I believe the people from our Farucci will not be inferior to any other country.”

Madam Schroder tried her hardest to suppress her accent as she spoke to Joshua. She was trying her best to make herself appear more calm and dignified, behaviors befitting of a noble.

She truly desired to learn the method of film-making too much. Film-making simply possessed an unprecedented amount of impact and could transform Farucci completely. The man that was able to bring all of that was sitting across from her.

“Learning on the job is always the fastest learning method.”

Joshua was only a novice in film-shooting and film-making. It would be impossible for him to be a teacher to numerous students.

Besides, Joshua was not here to take on students. He came here purely for the sake of filming ‘Léon: The Demon.’

“I’ve already scheduled my next movie to be filmed. Unfortunately, I only know a couple performers in Norland. There is nowhere near enough performers than what I required for my next movie. Thus, if Madam Schroder possessed suitable candidates, perhaps you can recommend them to participate in the shooting for my next movie.”

Joshua threw out this extremely enticing request. It was so enticing that this noble lady before him might even request to personally perform in the movie.

Even though she had missed the opportunity to join the annals with history’s first movie, it would still be a matter of pride for her to be able to leave her name in the history’s second movie.

“Mister Joshua, that is naturally not an issue at all. I practically know all the outstanding stage play performers of Farucci. They are most definitely qualified to perform in your movie.”

What Joshua requested was, without a doubt, what Madam Schroder desired to hear the most.

To be able to have the performers working under her participate in the filming of a movie would not only allow them to record their names with the movie, allowing it to be remembered by people who watched the movie, they would most definitely also grasp the method of movie-production upon their return.

This was a deal akin to killing two birds with a single stone. If what was in the cups were not tea but wine instead, Madam Schroder would most definitely raise her cup to toast in celebration.

“Farucci is simply located too far from Norland. I’ve heard that the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe just happened to be performing in Norland. I think that if they are to participate in the filming, they’d be able to barely pass the requirements for being my performers.”

If the theater owners of Farucci were to hear what Joshua just said, they would most definitely stomp their feet furiously.

“But, I believe that the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe would be very happy to participate in Mister Joshua’s next movie. This would be especially true for the female members.”

Madam Schroder could be said to be half-a-manager for the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe. Ever since ‘Beauty and the Demon’ started screening, the popularity of the movie affected the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe. Whenever they would rehearse in private, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe would always improvise and perform scripts from ‘Beauty and the Demon.’

“That would be my honor.”

Naturally, Joshua would have to express a sufficient amount of sincerity before his cooperative partner.

“Mister Joshua, when will you begin production for your next movie? Do you know the location? I will arrange the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe over there.”

Madam Schroder picked up her tea cup and took a sip. This afternoon tea was much more delicious than she expected.

“It is close to the opening for the World Expo. I planned to start filming after the World Expo. As for the location, regretfully, I’ve yet to find a location,” said Joshua.

“The Black Swan Theatrical Troupe will perform at the World Expo. They are, for the time being, unable to distract themselves.”

Madam Schroder placed her tea cup back on the table. She subconsciously moved her hand to the ring on her finger. That ring represented the House of Blackwood.

The reason why the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe came to Norland was so that they could perform at the World Expo. But, after watching ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s performance would not be able to gain much attention at all.
