Chapter 471 Advanced Contract Studies
“I’ve read the new script David created. While the story is relatively simple, it aligns well with current public preferences. If combined with your excellent performance, I believe it will be warmly received by the audience in Dordogne—
“Of course, a good opera also needs excellent music. For the musical arrangements, I will find the most outstanding composers in Dordogne to tailor several melodies that fit the script’s style.”
Compared to David-Berg’s creative passion for the script itself, Roman-Roland’s perspective was more commercial.
Whether it was the selection of the plot for “fallen angel,” the target audience, or the commercial packaging, Roman-Roland’s views consistently approached the issues from a market perspective.
It was precisely this approach that allowed the Nightingale Opera Troupe, under Roman-Roland’s guidance, to grow from a small group to the largest troupe within the Turin Wizard Gathering Place.
Furthermore, through new business models like collaborative tours and cassette sales, the Nightingale Opera Troupe even gained a certain level of fame across the entire West Continent.
And Jia Na, to date, was the most outstanding “work” created under Roman-Roland’s commercial operational model.
It was during such a period of career ascent that Roman-Roland could still abandon everything he had built in the Turin Wizard Gathering Place,
and make the strategic decision to “bind Jia Na” and go to Dordogne to “start from scratch” together.
To outsiders, even if Jia Na’s current fame was great and her talent outstanding, Roman-Roland binding his entire fortune to Jia Na, whose contract was renewed annually, was undoubtedly an extremely risky and “insecure” move.
However, Roman-Roland did exactly that.
“Alright, I’ll take this script back and read it carefully—”
At this point, Jia Na’s gaze couldn’t help but turn to David-Berg, who was beside her.
“And I also trust David’s creative abilities.”
Soul Listening talent, activated!
【Soul Listening: By listening to the soul’s Voice of different people, one can gain wonderful artistic inspiration.】
As Jia Na spoke, she also activated the Soul Listening talent on David-Berg.
After all, as the creator of “fallen angel” script, David-Berg should, deep down, have a melody that belongs to him.
As expected, through the Soul Listening talent, Jia Na also glimpsed that hidden melody from David-Berg’s “soul’s Voice.”
Benevolence, universal love, struggle, pain, anger, determination… In just a moment of listening, Jia Na heard the entire emotional melody of David-Berg, this genius creator, regarding the character of 【Isabelle】 from the depths of his soul.
“Haha, I also believe in my creative abilities, it’s just that I still haven’t found a suitable melody for ‘fallen angel’ yet.”
Hearing David-Berg’s words, Jia Na merely smiled faintly, neither offering any suggestions nor indicating that she had thoughts of attempting to compose.
Relying on the Soul Listening talent, Jia Na indeed captured a melody from David-Berg’s “soul’s Voice” that was very fitting for “fallen angel.”
However, that melody was still quite short, and it only represented David-Berg’s personal “soul’s Voice,” not necessarily conforming to popular musical aesthetics.
If Jia Na wanted to create something that would make the public genuinely feel “beauty,” she still needed to gather more material from other people’s “soul’s Voice” and then fuse them together.
It was just that Jia Na was not yet sure about the subjects for this inspiration.
After all, as of now, not many people would have truly finished reading the entire script of “fallen angel” and gained insights from it.
Therefore, Jia Na planned to gather material at the next script reading session, taking the opportunity when the relevant actors were all present.
Apart from script creators, actors are often a group of people full of emotions and passionate about their roles.
After they understand all the plot of “fallen angel,” they will inevitably unleash extremely intense emotions.
And those emotions would be Jia Na’s source of material…
After about two hours, Jia Na finally concluded the discussion meeting with Roman-Roland and David-Berg regarding the “Supplementary Agreement” and the new script.
Taking advantage of the approaching midday, Roman-Roland proactively booked a private room at a relatively famous restaurant in Dordogne, treating all the staff of the Nightingale Opera Troupe to a good meal.
Although it was just lunch, due to Jia Na’s arrival and the fact that most people were visiting Dordogne, the “City of Magic,” for the first time, the overall atmosphere of the gathering was very lively.
Several people even got drunk and passed out at the table in broad daylight.
Of course, where there was happiness, there was naturally also sadness.
Just like Liji-Xiaosi, who had left her family and traveled thousands of miles to the unfamiliar big city of Dordogne, she felt both the joy of seeing Jia Na again and the sadness of missing her hometown and loved ones.
And these emotional changes were undoubtedly a wonderful experience for Jia Na, who could directly “see” emotions through the power of the Fragment of the Law of Beauty.
Finally, around three in the afternoon, Jia Na, who was also slightly tipsy, ended the gathering amidst laughter and returned to the White Tower.
The next day, early morning.
Jia Na’s alcohol had mostly worn off on the way back to the White Tower yesterday.
So, after resting for a while, Jia Na took advantage of her free time to preview today’s lessons one by one.
One of these courses was the long-awaited Advanced Contract Studies.
“All-knowing and omnipotent lord of knowledge and wisdom, you are the light of wisdom, and the guardian of books and knowledge in the dust of time, please listen to my devout call, and open the door to the Book World for me—”
Whoosh— After Jia Na skillfully completed her prayer to the lord of knowledge and wisdom, the spiritual candle standing beside the Advanced Contract Studies textbook emitted a white-gold flame.
As the flame grew brighter, Jia Na’s thoughts, along with the sound of the Advanced Contract Studies textbook turning its pages, entered the classroom constructed by the Book World.
“Is everyone here?”
Listening to the slightly impatient voice from the podium, Jia Na, who had just entered the Book World, quickly recognized the identity of the Advanced Contract Studies instructor for this session.
“The instructor is Ms. Tifa?”
Watching the white cat Tifa stretch languidly on the podium, a hint of curiosity flashed in Jia Na’s eyes.
“Since everyone is here, let’s begin.”
