Cultural Invasion In Different World

Chapter 352

“Mother, are you going to make this movie together with Mister Joshua?”

Gallolie did not peep the content of the script on the way to Farucci. However, she was earnestly looking forward to her mother and Joshua working together for a second time.

Through her experience in the filming of ‘Léon: The Demon,’ Gallolie became fond of the experience of performing freely without having to concern herself with the audiences’ eyes

Joshua’s Day Banshees would capture Gallolie’s performance through the best camera angles.

“Gallolie, I know that the young playwright and ‘director’ has written three outstanding scripts but the next movie’s script might’ve been chosen already.”

Madam Schroder comforted her daughter. She felt that it was possible that the playwrights seated in the gallery might’ve finished making the selection for the next movie’s script while she was away meeting Gallolie.

“The script has been decided? Is it something written by those old men?”

The ‘old men’ mentioned by Gallolie were none other than Farucci’s elderly playwrights.

Even though this Flower of Farucci had interpreted countless characters from Farucci’s classics on the stage, she was not someone too fond of the scripts written by those elderly playwrights. That was also a matter of headache for Madam Schroder.

She had always attempted to nurture her daughter into an individual who appreciates art. Unfortunately, Gallolie would always fall asleep whenever she reads those works with deep thoughts behind them.

Nevertheless, that was also the reason for the Flower of Farucci’s success. All the characters Gallolie played were those well-received by the young people. Because of that, she became the dreamed lover of countless youths from Farucci.

“Gallolie, that is Master Morgan’s work.”

Madam Schroder reminded Gallolie to take note of her words and actions. She cannot imagine how undisciplined Gallolie has been during the time she was staying in Norland.

Even her temperament has started to be corroded by a sense of listlessness.

“Mother, I know. But, are you really going to give up on Mister Joshua’s script?” asked Gallolie.

“...”

Madam Schroder held the thick envelope and didn’t know how to respond.

She would occasionally visit the Mage Forum. On the forum, she had seen a post about ‘choice phobia.’

She had been skeptical when she first read the post.

How could ,people be afraid of making choices? She had always been a person who would make choices most beneficial to herself.

Yet today, she finally experienced the ‘terrifying mental illness that all intelligent creatures suffered from.’

Master Morgan’s

“Gallolie, wait for me here. Elder Safran and Monica will look after you.”

Madam Schroder realized that she shouldn’t place this heavy envelope in the storage.

Gallolie nodded her head obediently. Then, she saw her mother leaving the remote room and walking toward the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s rehearsal theater.

When Madam Schroder returned to the theater, the playwrights seated in the gallery had finished their discussion.

“Madam Schroder, we’ve decided to have Master Morgan’s ‘Eyepicker’ be adapted for the next movie.”

These playwrights seemed to have reached a consensus. One of them announced the result of their discussion.

When the outcome was determined, the entire theater, both the playwrights seated in the gallery and the performers of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe that were sitting on the stage and resting, started applauding.

In Farucci’s art circles, Morgan held a status akin to a legend. In his youth, he shook the entire Farucci with silent one-man stage plays.

“Everyone...”

At this moment, Madam Schroder spoke and interrupted the clapping crowd that were offering congratulatory words to Morgan.

“I have a new script here with me that I hope to receive everyone’s opinion.” Madam Schroder knew that she was calling into question Master Morgan’s authority by saying these things at such a time. Or perhaps, it would be more suited to say that she was questioning the authority and decision made by all the playwrights present.

“A new script? Was it that old codger Ferrero? Did he finally have a change of heart and decided to hand you a script?”

Madam Schroder’s teacher immediately thought of an equally renowned playwright. That playwright was renowned for being stubborn and held a deep dislike toward the emergence of ‘movies.’ He even publicly declared that ‘movies were a blaspheme toward art performances.’

“No,” Madam Schroder shook her head to deny her teacher’s guess.

“Could it be a work from Sir Collier?!”

Another playwright guessed who this Farucci’s renowned playwright that suddenly appeared to compete against Master Morgan might be.

“Everyone, please stop guessing. This playwright is not from Farucci. He’s a young man from Norland.”

Madam Schroder directly revealed the identity of this mysterious playwright.

Once she did that, the entire theater became completely quiet. The expressions of the renowned Farucci’s playwrights seated in the gallery became very strange.

Madam Schroder’s words — ‘from Norland’ and ‘young man’ — challenged their nerves.

All of them here were from Farucci. The pride of the people from Farucci was that their mastery of the arts were not inferior to any other country!

“Karana, I never would’ve known that you’re quite the joker,” At this moment, Madam Schroder’s teacher spoke and attempted to alleviate this somewhat awkward and tense atmosphere.

“Teacher, I’m not joking,” Madam Schroder raised the envelope in her hand to show to the crowd. With a very serious tone, she said, “The script is here. I hope that everyone will make the decision after reading the script.”

“Karana... how could the script written by a young man in Norland possibly compare against Master Morgan’s work? Please stop with this nonsense,” Madam Schroder’s teacher rubbed his slightly hurting temples. Madam Schroder’s stubborn behavior made him recall all the horrifying things she did thirty years ago when she was still a student in Farucci’s Royal Art Institute.

Back in her youth, Madam Schroder was a ‘little demoness’ who refused to obey anyone. After she became a mother, she became much more earnest. But today, at such an important occasion, she decided to play a prank that one cannot possibly laugh at.

“Madam Schroder,” Morgan might be the only person among the playwrights that was able to maintain his calm. His eyes were fixed onto the script in Madam Schroder’s hand, “Was that script written by that young man called Joshua?”

“Correct. He also wrote ‘Beauty and the Demon,’ ‘Hachiko: A Dog’s Tale’ and ‘Léon: The Demon.\'”

Madam Schroder took this opportunity to reveal to the people present the other scripts Joshua wrote.

“Joshua, the inventor of movies?” Someone asked.

Ever since the screening of the movies, Joshua became a celebrity in Farucci. Practically all the people that have seen the movies were able to remember the name that continued to appear in the credits... Joshua.

“Can I read his new script here?”

Before the other playwrights could ask more questions, Morgan stood up from his seat.

“There’s no problem with that. Everyone, please decide after reading the script,” Madam Schroder believed that these ‘great people’ were well-deserving of their reputation.
