Morgan followed Joshua back to the White Thorn Theatre. The theatre was as lively as the last time he ‘worked’here.
The audience lined up at the entrance of the theatre to watch the movie. Although it was not as popular as the new movie, this kind of queuing was very rare in the theatre of Faroese.
“Mr. Joshua, what… are those?”
Morgan noticed that besides the ticket counter, there was a special counter selling some strange things.
Under the counter was a transparent glass container, and in the glass container was a large amount of white… food.
!!
“The product of high-temperature heating of sweet jade, together with some caramel, will become a very delicious snack, but I’ll still use the word snack to describe it here.”
Jose walked to the counter and signaled the waiter behind him to take a serving and hand it to Morgan.
“I just introduced this kind of food in the theater two months ago. It’s normal that you don’t know, Master Morgan,”Jose said.
“Dessert…”
Morgan took a small wooden barrel from Jose. The object inside was like a white snowflake that was doused with a dark golden paste, exuding an appetizing fragrance.
If Morgan’s apprentice, Feimei, was here, her furry ears and tail would have stood up to take a share.
In fact, Gloria had already run to the front of the counter to take out her small wallet and buy a share.
“I’m too old to be obsessed with this kind of food.”
Morgan shook his head and returned it to Jose. Then, he looked at the entrance area of the White Thorn Garden Theater.
He noticed that many of the audience members were holding the so-called ‘snacks’and some fruit juice that Jose mentioned and walked into the viewing gallery.
“In Faroese… any audience member who eats on the way to the theater will be regarded as rude by the other audience members. Those who are more serious will be kicked out.”Mrs. Caesar did not seem to like to see the audience members holding food and sitting in the audience seats. “This is an extremely disrespectful behavior for the actors of the theater.”
“But, Mrs. Caesar, movies are not as elegant as stage plays.”
Josh handed the popcorn in his hand to Gloria, but the girl immediately shook her head when she saw her mother.
Maybe it was because Mrs. Caesar told Gloria not to eat too much sweet food, but the bucket of popcorn was already the limit.
“The tickets to the white thorn theatre are much cheaper than the stage play of Faroese. The audience who come here to watch the movie are also here for a moment of relaxation and enjoyment.”Jose looked at Mrs. Caesar and said, “This is my definition of the movie. Not only can anyone enjoy the movie, but it is also an art that can be enjoyed.”
“Is it more inclined to entertainment than art?”Morgan quickly understood what Jose meant. “This is also the advantage of the movie. For example, after I went through a hard work, just thinking about sitting in the audience and drinking fruit juice to watch the shocking battles in ‘Avatar’is a pleasant thing.”
“But the next movie I want to shoot is a work that will let the audience sit down quietly and enjoy it. To put it simply, it is the art that you are referring to.”
Jose led Mrs. Caesar and the others straight to the study room of the White Thorn Theatre, where Sir White Thorn used to work.
Ever since Jose became the true owner of the White Thorn Theatre, the owner of the place had become Jose.
Josh used the inscription to remove the seal on the desk drawer and took out a thick movie script and handed it to Morgan.
“Shawshank’s redemption.”Morgan read the name of the script and opened the first page to read it.
He spent nearly half an hour carefully reading the entire script. On the way, he even took out his glasses and put them on, hoping to see more clearly.
“I feel a power.”
Morgan raised his head and muttered to himself after reading it.
“A power that is pushed back by others. Mr. Joshua, the theme of this script must be hope, right?”
Joshua was about to answer Morgan’s question, but Mrs. Caesar, who was beside him, suddenly interrupted the conversation.
“Master Morgan, I think the theme of the script this time is definitely freedom…”
Mrs. Caesar’s voice changed from the previous respect, to a strong feeling that she would only use when she was directing the Black Swan Theater.
“I don’t deny what you said, Mrs. Caesar, but I think what the script wants to show is Hope.”
Although Morgan had a smile on his face, there was a sense of irrefutability in his voice.
“The theme of freedom can be derived from the male lead Andy…”
Mrs. Fascize did not seem to be prepared to compromise with Morgan. Just like that, the two existences from the top of the Faroese show business world began a debate because of the differences of opinion arising from the script.
Jose wisely chose to go to the corner and watch the discussion with Carrie. He also rubbed some popcorn in Carrie’s hands.
“Here we go again,”Carrie complained to Jose in a low voice.
“Does your mother often do this?”
Jose did not expect Mrs. Caesar to be unable to control her emotions like this. This sociable duchess should know clearly that she should not hurt her relationship with important people over such a ‘trivial matter.’.
“My mother is very serious about the script. Three years ago, my mother had a fight with another playwright over the stage play of ‘eye-catcher,’”Gloria whispered to Jose. “What is your new movie about? Is the plot very complicated?”
“It’s not complicated. It’s a very simple story.”
Jose quietly listened to the debate between Morgan and Mrs. Caesar. If these two were to change careers to become film critics, they could be considered professional.
“How much longer are they going to debate?”Jose looked at Gloria, who was almost finished with the popcorn, and asked in a low voice.
“I don’t know.”Gloria shook her head to show that there was nothing she could do.
Finally, after Mrs. Caesar and Morgan discussed the various philosophical issues related to Shawshank’s redemption, they finally looked at Jose.
“Mr. Jose, what do you think of this script?”Mrs. Caesar asked.
Sure Enough… It’s here?
Jose put down the popcorn he took from Gloria and said after organizing his words for a few seconds.
“Does it matter?”Josh said with a stiff smile on his face. “What’s really interesting about a great book is that everyone who reads it has a different explanation, and the same goes for this movie. Everyone has their own opinion of it.”
Josh was not good at doing things like film reviews, but it did succeed in getting Mrs. Caesar and Morgan to reconcile.
