Josh looked at the rearview mirror outside the window of the magic car. The towering tower of the sage gradually moved away from him.
“I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Hiri sat in the passenger seat and dozed off. She had been running back and forth with Josh for two days and was starting to feel sleepy.
The physique of humans was far inferior to that of chaos demons, especially in terms of resistance to fatigue.
“Healy, if you’re sleepy, you can take a nap first.”
!!
Joshua glanced at Healy who was sitting beside him. Nolan’s season was gradually entering the hot summer season, and Healy did not enter the state of a quilt spirit when she was sleepy.
“Later… Where Are We Going?”
Healy rubbed his eyes and looked out of the window. Joshua did not look like he was going back to the Firestone Tavern.
“White Thorn Theatre. I’m going to talk to Sir White Thorn about the shooting of the new movie.”
“Have you thought about the script already?”
Hiri’s drowsiness was instantly swept away when he heard the words ‘new movie’. It was as if he had heard a magic spell that could refresh one’s mind.
“I’ve just thought of a theme.”
Joshua held the steering wheel with one hand and took out a blueprint left behind by the man in black with the other hand. The blueprint clearly wrote down the various experiments of a kind of magic puppet called ‘Heart Lock’
“Is this the intruder you met in the space of consciousness?”
Hiri took the blueprint from Joshua’s hand. The contents of the blueprint had been translated into the common language of the continent by the man in black.
“The humans in the past used it to control their emotions. I think it’s to ease the fear brought about by things outside the world.”
Joshua had already read the contents of the blueprint once and further confirmed that his plan was feasible.
“Why do I see so many words like ‘berserk’and ‘abandoned’?”
Hiri tried to read the contents of the blueprint, and found that although it was written in the common language of the mainland, there were a lot of complicated and obscure words in it, and the words that were mentioned the most were mainly words like ‘failure’.
“If this kind of magic-conducting machine was put in the present, it would definitely not pass the examination of the Nolan magic-conducting machinery guild. Its reliability is too poor,”Hiri said.
“Because its function is to absorb human emotions, not to lock on to them. Moreover, its production method is also prohibited in the current Nolan.”
“The core of the production is the human soul…”
Hiri softly read the line of words left on it. Just the production method of the first step alone gave people a creepy feeling, which was to ‘strip the human soul’.
This kind of magic puppet called ‘Heart Lock’required hundreds or even thousands of souls to complete a core, and it might not even succeed.
“Let’s not even talk about the review of this design. Even if the Magic Machinery Association saw it, they would have to arrest it and lock it up in the law enforcement team.”Hiri returned the blueprint to Joshua.
“There are still too many unknown parts about this thing, but the reason why it was ‘abandoned’is because it absorbed too many negative emotions.”
While driving the magic car, Joshua Glanced at the house in the distance. On the house was a poster for the movie ‘Shawshank’s redemption’.
“One or two human negative emotions may not be able to affect them, but the audience of a movie can not be counted in single digits.”

Sir White Thorn Flower stood in front of a blackboard and silently lit his pipe.
There was a statistical form drawn on the blackboard. This was something he had learned from the black dove news agency.
This form could clearly record the profits of all the movies, rather than recording them on paper after paper.
It was more motivating to look up at the ‘exciting numbers’when working every day.
Unfortunately, Sir White Thorn did not feel excited when he looked at the statistics on the blackboard.
Shawshank’s salvation was a very high-grossing movie. At the beginning, it was still a little low when it was released in Nolan. It was not as sensational as avatar in an instant.
However, the box office of this movie gradually rose with the passage of time. Some people were willing to spend money to buy two, three, or even four tickets to watch the movie in the theater.
This was the charm of Shawshank’s redemption itself. Unfortunately, it was still ranked fourth at the box office.
The top three were occupied by avatar, the devil is not too cold, and beauty and the Devil.
Avatar was a veritable box office devourer, far surpassing beauty and the devil, which ranked second.
But no matter how these films were compared, they all generated astronomical profits for Nolan’s theater industry, and Sir White Thorn became Nolan’s most famous theater manager.
But Sir White Thorn did not feel any joy, because he was still an artist at heart, a rebellious artist.
He did not have much interest in money, and his only dream was to make a good movie.
Sir White Thorn Flower tried to do so. He took advantage of the recent gap in time to direct a movie and released it in his own cinema.
Unfortunately, the final result made him very dissatisfied. The box office of the movie itself went very low, and most of the audience did not buy it.
What was really unacceptable to sir white thorn flower was that… This movie was far inferior to Shawshank Redemption.
“How can I eat bread after tasting the delicious taste of cake…”Sir White Thorn Flower took a deep breath of the taste of tobacco and went to his desk to flip through the scripts he had written in the past.
When Sir White Thorn Flower was young, he had been proud of his talent for a period of time, but now that Sir White Thorn Flower was looking at these scripts.., his mind was filled with thoughts of ‘childish’, ‘meaningless’, ‘if Jose doesn’t write a new script, I’m going to die’
Perhaps the god of Art had heard Sir White Thorn Flower’s wish. Not long after he entered a state of decadence, an attendant pushed open the door of the study and rushed to his front.
“Mr. Joshua Is Here!”The attendant brought news that caused Sir White Thorn Flower to jump up from his seat.
“Let Mr. Joshua Come and see… No, I’ll go and see him personally.”
Sir White Thorn Flower picked up his coat that was hanging on the clothes rack. After putting out the pipe in his mouth, he put on his clothes and quickly walked out of the study room.
“He’s in your private screening room!”
“My Screening Room? What movie is playing in there?”Sir White Thorn Flower had a bad feeling.
“The movie ‘The Hand of tragedy’that was just released a few days ago.”
When Sir White Thorn Flower heard this news, his entire body tensed up. This feeling was no less than when he was studying at the Faroese Academy of art back then. His mentor had carefully flipped through the new script that he had written in front of him.
