Chapter 590 New Script
On the 80th birthday of the Grand Duke of Milan, everyone in Milan received a string of sausages, two cans of red tomato sauce, and five kilograms of noodles. People from the surrounding villages continued to pour into the city. , the queue almost filled the street.
The dinner for the dignitaries in the official residence was extremely luxurious. Ten unicorns were stewed and the tails of three fire dragons were roasted to create a fragrant aroma.
The song ends and everyone disperses, and everything returns to peace.
Under the calm, a spark is brewing.
After revealing his identity, Riva moved to Frederick's residence that originally belonged to the Rey family. He ate and drank freely every day without saving any money for Frederick.
Before the banquet at the Grand Duke's Palace in Milan that day, Riva wanted to see Frederick's sword - the Sword of Remit.
Of course Frederick agreed, but when he handed out the Sword of Remit, he handed it to his left hand.
This move is just a trivial matter in the eyes of outsiders, but Riva is very depressed. The secret of being left-handed, which he has hidden for decades, is actually known to him.
Needless to say, Richard Nall must have told him.
The battle between Riva and Richard Nar at this level is not just a battle of real swords and guns. Richard Nar has seen through Riva's hidden skills, which shows that he is stronger than him.
The slightest difference between the same level can mean life and death. Naturally, Frederick would not publicize Riva's secret feud. This kind of revealing thing only needs to be known by the person involved.
This afternoon, Riva was in the living room, with a glass of water in one hand and chips dipped in ketchup in the other, listening with interest to Ludovico's newly created script.
Stone is also the prototype of the protagonist. The script was too exaggerated and made his face red.
He was here to send a wedding invitation, and it happened to be the right time. He thought he would have known that he would get up early today and come in the morning.
After Shitou won the championship, he received simple treatment from professionals. The Grand Duke of Milan made him a knight on the spot, achieving a class leap.
Then someone was tied upside down to a rack and moved to the arena, and was given laxatives before going on stage.
Now that the stone is a new carrot, there is no pitfall, so I will get married while I have time.
Ludovico finished reading the script and waited for everyone's opinions.
The first scene of this play describes that when Riva ran out of money while traveling around, he tricked Shitou into buying wine for himself when he wanted to drink, and taught him swordsmanship at the same time.
This plot is not uncommon, but the second scene is not that in previous dramas, young people show off their power and make great achievements after practicing magical skills, but that they are suppressed in the arena because they have no backstage, and in the end they become discouraged and fish for fish all day long.
In the third act, the protagonist meets love, and his cold and numb heart begins to heat up again. In order to let his lover live a better life, he picks up his wasted martial arts.
In the fourth act, the protagonist first defeated a powerful enemy and then was plotted against him, which basically followed Shitou's experience.
The fifth act is mainly about the final part. The protagonist breaks through himself when facing an invincible opponent and finally wins the game.
Stone was embarrassed to say anything.
After taking a sip of happy water, Riva said: "The opponents in the fourth act only rely on bragging about their achievements to appear powerful, which is not enough."
As the prototype of the final BOSS, he has veto power over this drama. , Ludovico did not dare to neglect and listened attentively.
Riva continued: "You should emphasize that each of the opponents has their own strengths, such as strength and speed. The protagonist should use his own intelligence to defeat them."
He continued Arrange characteristics for those characters and corresponding cracking methods.
Ludovico immediately recorded that they, men of letters, were not proficient in martial arts, so they could only describe the character's strength in a bragging way. Now with professional guidance, this opportunity is not to be missed.
Riva added: "You can reduce the characters, increase the playing time of each character, let the protagonist suffer some losses first, and then use his intelligence to win."
He and this drama He was deeply involved and played the role of a discerning eye and a good teacher, so he was very considerate and gave a lot of suggestions.
Frederick listened quietly.
He hopes that Ludovico will write a play that praises the struggles of small people. Now this play is pretty good as one of the pioneers.
Although the plot has a traditional beginning with the protagonist meeting a noble person, the middle and later stages rely on the protagonist's own efforts, a bit like "Millions of Pounds", an opportunity falls from the sky, the protagonist seizes the opportunity and becomes famous.
Frederick found that he seemed to be a copycat again.
This time he decided to reprint the novel "One Million Pounds" and supplement it with some similar short stories to compile a collection of novels, focusing on the stories of small people seizing opportunities and achieving success through their own efforts.
This kind of thing is not uncommon in the Kingdom of Sardinia, but no one publicizes it.
Today’s novels are mainly religious literature, heroic epics and knightly literature. Urban literature has not yet become a phenomenon, and the citizen class has not become the protagonist of the story.
The development process of the bourgeoisie is also a process of urbanization. A large number of people leave the countryside and enter the factories of the cities to become citizens.
If Frederick wanted to succeed, he needed the support of this group of people. The development of urban literature and citizen literature would help gather the strength of this group of people ideologically and culturally.
The northern part of the Kingdom of Sardinia has developed commerce and handicraft industry, a large urban population, a high level of citizen income, and a strong industrial and commercial atmosphere. It is a suitable place to nurture the urban literature that Frederick needed.
After Ludovico and Riva finished communicating, Frederick also figured out his next plan.
At this time Ludovico asked Frederick for advice.
Frederick thought for a while and said: "I suggest that the lines be more colloquial, just like talking in normal times, and don't pursue rhythm too much."
"It is best to use simple and common instruments for background music, and the melody should not be too complicated. , can be repeated. The lyrics should be short in structure and popular in content, so that people can remember them as soon as they hear them. "
The lines, lyrics and poems these days are the same. Authors will do anything to rhyme. There are often some awkward words and phrases.
Frederick hoped that this play could be spread among people with low literacy levels, so it should be easy to understand.
Ludovico’s request for Frederick was not surprising.
The "popular songs" that have been popular in the Principality of Wesson in recent years are only 3 to 5 minutes long, with concise content and easy-to-understand lyrics. Recently, they have been gradually brought to the Kingdom of Sardinia by singers.
Frederick had previously published a "Collection of Poems on the Marching Pot". The poems in it were easy to understand, had no literary techniques, and had a low status in the literary world, but they were quite popular among the soldiers.
It’s just that sometimes the simpler it is, the more difficult it is. According to the standards Ludovico set for himself, the traditional rhythm and Frederick’s requirements must be met at the same time, which is nerve-wracking.
Ludovico accepted this challenge and decided to polish the script according to Frederick's wishes.
Frederick will not be able to see the premiere of this play. He will leave Milan in two days, and Ludovico will also return to Fira. It will take half a year to perfect the script and rehearse. I didn't know where he went at that time.
