As the voice-over ended, a forest appeared on the screen.
In the meantime, a team of beautiful elves wearing dresses woven from plants, carrying bows and arrows, and with pointed ears came from the forest. Soon, they were suddenly attacked by the enemy.
After a battle mixed with magic, the two camps of justice and evil had their first dialogue.
Then, there was a cutscene, and the name "Dragon Nest: Breaking Dawn" was suddenly slapped on the screen.
Yes, this is what Cheng Lin chose.
Compared with the "Childhood Memories" series of animations, as well as the recently released Chinese comic movies, or Japanese comics, this film is much less well-known.
However, as a multi-lingual film produced by Xia Guoren and shown around the world, it has a simple enough background and plot.
Originally, this "simplicity" was intended to be understood by audiences from different countries, but it was placed here to facilitate the elves to watch the movie.
A fantasy background...a rough battle between good and evil...the male and female protagonists are humans and elves respectively, and the production is pretty good. Cheng Lin had no reason not to choose.
And is it effective...
"Looks good."
Standing behind the crowd, Cheng Lin raised the corners of his mouth and whispered to himself.
In his eyes, as the plot unfolded, the elves were completely attracted. Almost every one of them had their eyes firmly fixed on the screen, their eyes full of shock.
This feeling is tantamount to a spiritual "opening of the world" and a shocking enjoyment.
Cheng Lin clearly remembers that the first movie on earth appeared in France at the end of the 19th century. Photographer Louis Lumiere premiered a "film" called "The Gate of the Factory" at the Grand Café on rue Capucine in Paris.
”, or a short documentary.
But now, the first movie that the elves saw was far from that "crude", but a product of the mature film industry.
This impact is indescribably huge.
…
In the auditorium.
Lily had long forgotten about the punishment. She just clenched her fists, stared at the screen in front of her with her eyes wide open, and whispered from time to time.
At first, she was only attracted by this magical "magic", but slowly, as she adapted to this form, her attention finally shifted from the pictures and sounds to the plot.
There is no shortage of stories among the elves, and the plot of this film is definitely not new. In Cheng Lin's eyes, it is even very old-fashioned. However, at this moment, Lily was still firmly attracted.
This combination of sounds, images, stories, and immersive feeling instantly conquered her.
This made her, an active person who could never sit still, become rarely focused.
She even didn't notice that her friend Beryl beside her had dropped her vocabulary book to the ground like her. She seemed not to notice it, and her face was constantly changing expressions due to the plot.
When the plot becomes tense, their breathing becomes rapid and their heartstrings tighten.
When the plot eases, they look calm and quiet.
When the male and female protagonists handed out sweets... some elves even blushed and turned away.
In Cheng Lin's eyes, this scene was quite interesting.
"Cheng Lin, this...is this the entertainment you are talking about?"
Behind the auditorium, Elu suddenly tried to pull his eyes out of the screen, turned his head, looked at him deeply, and said, "Is this an invention of the earth?"
"That's right," Cheng Lin nodded calmly and introduced, "There are many similar films. Not only Xia Kingdom, but other countries on the earth have their own stories. However, you have few exposures so far, so it is difficult to watch them if they are released.
Understand, and slowly, you will get started with language learning. You don’t need me to translate. You can also watch more themes and learn about the earth and human beings through movies.”
"I will be a good student."
Ellu's quiet eyes flickered for a moment, as if she was thinking about something, and after a moment, she said seriously.
"Then I have to work hard to be a good teacher, um, but I can't rush this. Learning a language can't be done overnight. Fortunately, we have a lot of time for each other." Cheng Lin said gently.
"kindness."
Ellu nodded vigorously, then stood beside him and started watching the movie again. However, if you look carefully, you will find that her mind is not entirely focused on the story, but seems to be thinking about something.
The 90-minute movie ended quickly.
When the screen disappeared and turned into scrolling subtitles, the elves realized that it was over.
They were both satisfied and reluctant to give up. They felt that time had never flown by so fast.
"I really like Liya, I want to have a hairstyle like hers!"
"I think Lambert is quite good. Hey, are all human beings like this? Well, teachers are human beings, but they are different."
"Bescord is really handsome, right?"
"I like Princess Nelvin better..."
After the screening, the students discussed the plot one after another. They looked very excited and had unfinished expressions on their faces.
Some students simply turned their heads, held back their mouths, and looked pitifully at Cheng Lin behind them, wanting to watch it again.
"Watch it again?"
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, thinking that you guys wouldn't be tired of it...but he still smiled and said:
"Of course you can watch it again, but not today.
In tomorrow's class, I will use this movie as a teaching material to teach Chinese sentence structure. You must understand every line.
I hope you won’t feel annoyed when the time comes.”
Textbook? Analysis of lines?
After hearing this, most of the elves had no idea, they just thought it would be best to watch it again.
At this time, some of them already wanted to go back. They were eager to show off everything they saw today to their family and friends, and tell them about everything they witnessed here.
However, they did not expect that the surprise was not over yet.
When Cheng Lin took out a lot of snacks from the wooden house and distributed them to the students, he calmed them down again.
These weird foods with colorful and bizarre packaging and full of "exotic flavor" quickly attracted their attention.
Under the guidance of Cheng Lin, they tore open the packaging bags unfamiliarly and tasted these industrialized foods. Soon, they fell into a collective collapse as expected.
Even Ellu put aside her appearance and ate her potato chips non-stop.
Seeing this scene, Cheng Lin was particularly satisfied.
"Well, why do I suddenly feel like feeding a pet..."
Shaking his head and putting this bad idea aside, Cheng Lin glanced at Ai Lu and casually said:
"How is it? I heard them discussing the plot and characters just now. What do you think? For example, the human Lambert in it?"
After hearing this, Ellu stopped chewing potato chips, thought about it, and said seriously: "I don't like that."
"Oh? Which one do you like?" Cheng Lin asked.
Ai Lu was silent for a moment, shook his head slowly, and said nothing, and Cheng Lin did not ask any further questions.
After eating all the snacks, it was finally time to leave. Cheng Lin finally assigned homework and did not leave Lily alone for a spanking. Instead, he just chose to copy the punishment. He agreed to continue class tomorrow morning and sent her away.
.
However, before leaving, Ai Lu discussed with him the follow-up matters regarding cultivating the medicinal field.
Now that the planting area has expanded, catching insects, watering, and pruning branches are obviously beyond the daily tasks of Shi Rui, and she needs someone to take care of her from time to time.
Cheng Lin and Ai Lu discussed it and simply expanded the scope of work for this group of students.
In this way, in addition to learning Chinese, Lily's group of junior priests also have another job to take care of the spirit world. Except for eating and sleeping, they spend most of their remaining time here.
"We can even transport some domesticated livestock over to help with the work."
Ellu has an extraordinary passion for building the spiritual world.
Cheng Lin naturally had no objection. With the participation of the elves, the spirit world finally had a "small world" appearance. It was separated from the "storage space" attribute. With popularity, it was no longer lonely.
…
…
The next day, when Cheng Lin entered the spirit world again and prepared to attend class, he saw a group of students beaming with joy.
After asking around, I found out that after they shared what they saw yesterday, it caused a small sensation in the royal court.
The magical "animation" and the delicious and incomparable food are enough to make people fascinated.
I am even more envious and longing for the so-called "God Realm".
Cheng Lin just wanted to smile bitterly, but this was not a bad thing no matter how he thought about it.
With the bonus of interest and honors, the students' enthusiasm for learning has been unprecedentedly high. The skill of Pinyin has been mastered in one day.
Then, Cheng Lin began to analyze the lines and grammar, and the whole morning passed happily.
"Okay, this morning's class ends here. In the afternoon, you will continue to consolidate the knowledge I taught. In the evening, depending on the situation, you can choose to go to class, or study in the evening, and then get out of class is over!"
Outside the wooden house, in the small courtyard, Cheng Lin unplugged the data cable and said.
The elves sorted out their notes and went back to eat.
"Cheng Lin, are you busy with anything this afternoon?"
After closing the notebook, Cheng Lin saw Ai Lu walking towards him.
"Afternoon? Nothing happened. What's wrong?"
Cheng Lin asked back.
He really has nothing to do. After being promoted to the fifth level, the rewards from the academy have not yet been distributed. In terms of the concentration of spiritual energy outside, meditation practice has little effect.
It was quite suitable to practice in the spirit world, but he was prepared to wait and let the medicinal fields planted before stabilize the concentration of spiritual energy before he started to absorb it. This was safer.
In addition, after being promoted, it would take time to stabilize, and he was not in a hurry to learn new abilities, so Cheng Lin really had nothing to do.
"It's okay, I just, just..."
Ailu hesitated, as if she was embarrassed to say something, and her expression was a little awkward.
Cheng Lin was stunned for a moment, took a deep breath, and said seriously:
"If you have anything to say, just tell me and don't worry. Although you have not inherited the mantle of teacher, I have always treated you as my junior sister despite that relationship."
Elu bit her lip after hearing this, holding the delicate staff in both hands, standing upright on her chest, her drooping face slowly raised, looking at him with a pair of expectant and longing eyes, and asked:
"I...I want to ask you...can you take me to the earth to see it?"
