Chapter 357 - Disgrace (2/2)

Madam Schroder was able to understand the excitement present on the faces of the performers both young and old.

The success of ‘Léon: The Demon’ was a part of the reason for their excitement. As for the other reason, it was because performing in a movie was much more interesting and relaxed.

Unlike stage plays, one will not have to repeatedly get on the stage to perform. Furthermore, when filming movies, one will no longer be performing on a stage with props.

“Quiet down.”

Madam Schroder gently tapped her forehead with her hand. Even though her voice wasn’t loud, the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s performers quickly quieted down.

They’ve participated in countless performances and have experienced countless pre-performance rehearsals like the one they’re experiencing now.

They were fully prepared to listen to Madam Schroder to announce what they will be performing in and what their characters would be.

“The script that we will be performing in this time is called ‘Avatar.’ If the filming is a success, our Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s name will be forever engraved in the annals of movie. This is a grand-scale movie. It is even grander than ‘Farucci’s Revolution.'”

Hearing Madam Schroder’s words, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe started to whisper among themselves.

‘Farucci’s Revolution,’ it was a stage play that surpassed the boundaries of stage plays. It was a grand idea that the previous King Klund spent all his life writing.

His idea behind it was to reconstruct the great war of Farucci as much as possible. The stage for the play was a ghost city. The audiences were all on the city walls. Standing on the walls, they watched the bitter conflict being portrayed by the performers.

That stage play has only ever been performed once. Back when it was being performed, people described it to be something completely insane.

The members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe were truly unable to imagine exactly what sort of script would be even… grander… than that stage play where both the stage and performers attempted to re-enact a war.

“The synopsis for this movie is as: several hundred years in the future, we humans discovered another world, a world called Pandora. That world is abundant with natural resources and an endless amount of land. You all will be performing as members of humanity’s Vanguard Army charged with exploring Pandora.”

Madam Schroder gave a brief explanation of the story of Avatar. Just by hearing the brief explanation, the members of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe were able to imagine what sort of script this was.

“Madam Schroder, are we going to be filming in the wilderness or a forest?”

A performer raised his hand and asked that question. The synopsis doesn’t sound like it would be a movie that’ll be filmed in a human city.

“We’ll have to stay in the wilderness or a forest? There’s too many bugs.”

“Scary. Will there be magical beasts…?”

Madam Schroder was able to clearly hear all the discussions from the performers. She had expected such a reaction.

Very few of the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe’s performers came from ordinary birth. Most of them were nobilities. Many of them were the young misses from noble families.

While they might be willing to accompany the Black Swan Theatrical Troupe to perform all over Farucci, it might already be their limit to film ‘Léon: The Demon’ in Norland’s notorious Squirrel Street.

Yet this time, the filming location was even more outrageous.

“The filming site is not only a forest, it’s a forest not in Farucci,” Madam Schroder’s cold gaze swept across the performers of the Black Swan Theater Troupe as she informed them news that made them feel the urge to quit the theatrical troupe, “Instead, it’s in the Demon Realm.”
