As the light beam hit the curtain, on a green field covered with grass, a toffee wrapped in colorful candy paper loomed through the grass blown by the breeze. Then a group of children ran past laughing, one with his back to
The little girl on the screen discovered the candy, squatted down and picked it up.
The candy wrapper was peeled off by slender fingers, revealing a colorful candy, as if it were made of fantasy and dreams. The three words "toffee" were imprinted on it. The little girl smiled cutely, then raised her head and took it.
Put it in your mouth.
Little did Madeleine know that the logo she made out of temporary interest would become an indelible milestone in the film history of the Western Continent!
People who have only watched stage operas and never watched movies were immediately attracted by the childlike title sequence.
The bright, natural and realistic colors made them want to say something, but they didn't know what to say, and then the picture changed again.
The perspective seemed to be in the sky, overlooking the ground. It moved forward, flew over a frozen lake, and jumped over a snowy ice field. Then, a city appeared on the horizon! Following the perspective, a human figure landed.
On the charming street.
hiss!
The whole audience gasped. This series of shots shocked them directly.
"Ah, I understand, this is Xueman's royal capital!"
Some people looked at the iconic church tower and commercial streets and recognized the city.
"Is this the panoramic view of Xueman?"
"Ah? How did you do this?"
"What do Madeleine and Downton want?"
Not everyone has a flying mount, so even if they are nobles, not many people have overlooked the main city of Xueman. Therefore, this shot satisfies the curiosity of the audience and makes them eager to watch the next plot.
.
"Isn't the opening short film I made good?"
Madeleine looked left and right. Looking at the expressions of the audience, she grabbed Downton's arm and shook it vigorously, excited and proud.
"Well, quite spiritual!"
Downton praised.
"What's this?"
Sissi asked.
"You will know after watching the movie!"
Downton took out the popcorn and juice that had been prepared in advance and distributed them to everyone. What fun would there be in watching a movie if you don’t eat snacks?
The camera advances from a first-person perspective, and the audience feels as if they are walking on the street and then turn into a tavern.
An old man was sitting behind the bar, wiping his wine glass. In front of him was a middle-aged man in his thirties wearing sunglasses. His name was Leon!
Ha ha!
The whole audience suddenly burst into laughter, because in front of Leon was not whiskey, but a glass of white milk.
"This guy must be a sissy!"
Someone started making fun of him, and the next moment, a large group of people turned around and booed him to silence him, because the first line of dialogue had begun.
"This damn fat guy has always wanted to intervene in Mr. Leo's territory. Get rid of him within three days!"
The old man took out a piece of parchment from under the bar. On it was the target's portrait drawn by magic.
"good!"
The middle-aged man drank all the milk and turned around to leave the bar.
It was a very short scene, but it left the audience stunned. They were used to opera performances with exaggerated limbs, and suddenly saw such a performance that was close to life. Some people even began to doubt that this was a real tavern!
A hotel appeared, filled with tough bodyguards standing scattered around, and in a bedroom, a sinful transaction was going on.
Looking at the magic diamond stuffed into an entire suitcase, exuding a blur of brilliance under the chandelier, the exclamation rang out again.
"These villains!"
Seeing that money, civilians subconsciously hate these gangsters. Why can these bastards who have done all the bad things get so much money to enjoy life?
When a patrolling bodyguard walked through a door, his body was suddenly lifted up. After struggling for a few times, his limbs fell down weakly.
Because the camera was not above the neck, the audience had not yet reacted. They were staring at the screen, but there was a pop and the body fell down.
Everyone was frightened, especially when they saw the blood and bruises on the neck of the corpse. The timid women screamed, and some even wanted to escape from the opera house.
"He was strangled?"
"Should we call the sheriff?"
"What the hell is this? Let's watch someone kill someone?"
The audience was shouting and sweating on their foreheads. They couldn't help it. This was the first time they had seen such a realistic movie.
Seeing that there was some confusion at the scene, Madeleine was ready to stand up and explain.
"Don't talk too much. Once you say those people are faking their own death, they will lose their sense of empathy. Let them be nervous!"
Downton grabbed Madeleine.
Because the leader of the Royal Sisters had reported to the chief of security before, the security team was not dispatched. Besides, Sissi was sitting next to Downton, so even if this group of people really killed someone, they would not care.
"What's the fuss about? It's the villain who died!"
When Lyon was like a ghost, assassinating the bodyguards who were being fooled around, the audience kept screaming in shock, and some people even covered their eyes, not daring to look anymore.
Sneak attacks with crossbows, throat-cutting with daggers, and rope strangulations. When blood splattered and corpses were scattered all over the place, the audience also appreciated Lyon's superb assassination art!
"I know that hotel is called White Hart Lane, but I haven't heard any news about anyone dying recently?"
"But this Leon is so cool!"
"I want to be a killer too!"
Watching Leon nail the gang boss to the wall with a dagger and take away the box of magic diamonds, the whole hall burst into cheers, and there was a sense of pleasure as the criminal was purified!
The story continues, the color changes from the gloomy hotel to the sunny street. Leon carries a dilapidated leather suitcase and walks out of a store into a six-story hotel with a Skylark sign.
Lyon, dressed in simple clothes and not good at talking, instantly won everyone's favor, and the audience also knew that this should be the male protagonist.
The camera passes through the spiral staircases and slowly rises. Then a pair of cowhide boots appears in the field of view, and then two little girl's legs. She is wearing colorful stockings with some holes in them.
Through the railing, everyone saw a 10-year-old girl holding a cigarette. Her eyes looked at the opposite side with melancholy, without focus!
This shot instantly makes the audience feel that the little girl is like a bird in a cage!
Hearing the footsteps, the little girl hid her cigarette, then pulled her thin shirt down, exposing her white shoulders, then leaned back and supported the floor with her hands.
Leon walked by expressionlessly, but the little girl Matilda didn't wait for the other person to speak. After hesitating, she still said hello, "Hi!"
Leon, who had already passed by the little girl, stopped with an expressionless face. After confirming that the other party was talking to him, he asked, "Why do you need to hide the cigarettes?"
What are cigarettes? The audience was confused about this thing that had never appeared in the Western Continent. But they didn't care because the little loli was so cute.
Matilda has a mushroom head. The hair on both sides covers her chin, and her bangs are very flat, which highlights her cute face and beautiful facial features. Coupled with her pitiful expression, she looks like a homeless girl.
Stray cats. Instantly hit the hearts of many viewers and wanted to adopt them home.
The little girl's clothes are not only shabby, but also full of the aura of prostitution. Although her family is not introduced, the audience immediately knows that she has a mother who is a prostitute.
"What happened?"
Leon lowered his head. From his perspective, everyone saw a large bruise next to the little girl's eye.
"I fell while riding in the carriage!"
Matilda tilted her head, not wanting Leon to see this.
Leon left, Matilda looked at his back, her lips moved, but she did not speak.
Just when everyone was still calm in this slightly sentimental atmosphere, footsteps sounded, and a man in a suit walked out of a room.
There was a sudden argument, and the atmosphere became solemn. It was a man with a crew cut asking for a batch of goods from an unshaven man.
Some people exclaimed because they discovered that the man in a suit named Danny was played by Rosicky. If no one knew him before, then after the opera performance, everyone remembered this man with a siren-like voice.
The negotiation was fruitless because the bearded man refused to admit that he had taken the goods.
Danny walked up to the bearded man, lowered his head and came to his side, sniffed, turned and left without saying anything.
"Hey, I didn't take your stuff, why don't you go find it yourself?"
The bearded man rushed to the railing and shouted at Danny and the two. Matilda raised her head, chewed a lollipop, and peeked at the man.
"What are you doing here? Go do your homework!"
The bearded man suddenly spoke to Matilda, and everyone realized that this was her father.
Before the little girl could answer, the bearded man slapped her on the head and told her to go home.
The little girl stood up and ran back quickly like a panicked rabbit.
"Isn't this little girl the heroine?"
"Are you kidding? Have you ever seen such a young female lead?"
"Then why does she have so many scenes?"
By now, everyone knows that the movie is fake, because except for Rosicky, they have discovered that the Leon is played by Downton. Although he has gone through makeup and aged, his outline and facial features have not changed much.
"I didn't expect you to be very attractive when you are mature!"
Cheap God teases.
Leon saw all this through the peephole, but he didn't care. He closed the blinds, took off his coat, and exposed the dagger, crossbow, and arrow box.
He was not good at talking, so he took a shower silently, sat at the dining table in silence and drank a glass of cold milk, ironed clothes in silence, and took care of the pot of dieffenbachia in silence!
This is a lonely man whose life is monotonous and gloomy. In addition to killing people, he just waits for the next killing! (To be continued...)
