Chapter 470: Hollywood in Another World - Idar Repertory Theatre!
What is God?
Actually...
When the believers of the Church of Light began to try to think about this problem... Bruno's first step was already half successful.
Respect and reverence for God has always been one of the core teachings of the Church of Light.
In the religious texts of the Church of Light, many gods, represented by the God of Light, are also perfect beings.
If Tonya Clark had only felt conflicted about the doctrinal conflict between the Church of Light and Protestantism before this ... then at this moment, after flipping through the first book he had read...
An indescribable emotion began to spread in his mind.
Because for the vast majority of common people in this era, books and classics were only things that aristocratic lords were qualified to read, so even though there were no words on the comic strip in his hand, it also had extraordinary meaning.
This was the first book Tonya Clark read, and his doubts and confusions about God were also what Tonya himself noticed while reading this book.
One is to be told by others, the other is to figure it out by yourself.
Although on the surface, there is not much difference between the two, but...the impact on people is completely different.
Perhaps even Tonya Clark herself didn't realize it.
The moment he became confused about the image of the god in the comic strip, an imperceptible crack had quietly appeared in his extremely solid faith deep in his heart.
This crack may seem extremely small at present, and it will not shake Tonya Clark's faith in the short term.
But……
As these cracks increase in number and gradually deepen...
This cultural offensive led by Bruno will eventually lash the Church of Light to pieces, and even turn the Church of Light upside down!
…
But then again,
It is obviously not enough to rely solely on a few comic books with many elements.
Bruno himself knew very well that this was just a beginning and just a test.
In order to enrich the spiritual world of the Idar people,
In order to allow the Protestant thought to overshadow the aftermath of the Church of Light, Bruno prepared many new things for all the civilians living on this land.
For example, drama,
For example, a ball game,
Another example is... broadcasting...
…
West of Idar City, the Hanging Gardens.
The Hanging Gardens will continue to serve as the residence of Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar, until the Idar Palace in Idar is completed.
It is precisely for this reason that it is the most core and strategic place in the entire Principality of Idar.
The Sky Garden is heavily guarded, and all personnel coming and going are subject to strict inspection. The agents of the Idar CIA are always on the alert for any suspicious individuals.
after all……
Although the Principality of Idar was stable as usual at this time, the situation on the mainland was turbulent.
As the ruler and leader of the Principality of Idar, Bruno's safety is naturally the top priority of the entire Principality of Idar.
Today,
A group of special guests from the province of Basel finally stood outside the Hanging Gardens.
Looking at the foothills of Mount Almis not far away,
Looking up at the mountain peaks that pierce straight into the clouds...
Hannah Daria's mind was gradually filled with a feeling of nervousness and anticipation.
As a civilian born in Basel, this was her first time passing through the Fortress of Mann and coming to the core of the entire Principality of Idar - the city of Idar in the Idar Province.
Hannah Daria, who was only seventeen years old, possessed an enviable figure and appearance. Her beautiful face was cold and dignified, but her thin lips were as tender and juicy as rose petals.
A slender and delicate necklace was wrapped around her neck, and the light pink dress just outlined the perfect curve of her back.
Hannah certainly knew why she came here.
only……
Looking at this magnificent architectural wonder in front of her, she still couldn't help but be distracted.
This is the time when flowers and plants flourish. The sky garden has long been surrounded by clusters of flowers. The light fragrance of flowers floats in the slightly humid air, making people feel relaxed and happy involuntarily.
Before the army of the Principality of Idar conquered the Kingdom of Basel,
Hannah Darya and the girls she brought to the gate of the Hanging Gardens were mostly maids, singers and dancers, and dance teachers in the royal palace of the Kingdom of Basel...
Their daily work was to serve the noble ladies who were dressed in luxurious clothes and to dance and sing at aristocratic banquets.
As the Kingdom of Basel became history, the Royal Palace of Basel became the seat of the Government Office of the Principality of Ida.
These maids, who came from commoner families and were selected and raised in the palace since childhood, naturally had no other place to go.
so……
For many reasons, Bruno had these maids, who originally served the royal family of Basel, taken to the Hanging Gardens outside the city of Idar.
Don't think too much, Bruno already has enough servants under his command, and Bruno does not intend to cram these maids who used to serve the royal family of Basel into the Idar Palace under construction.
The reason why they came here was actually to prepare for the establishment of the Idar Theater.
The Kingdom of Basel’s artistic achievements have always been among the best of its time.
In the past, the protection from the Norman Empire and the long-term comfort allowed the nobles of the Kingdom of Basel to have enough time and energy to pursue luxurious and stylish artistic enjoyment.
therefore,
Although the soldiers of the Kingdom of Basel were exhausted and the civilians were in poverty, the nobles lived a very happy life and all they talked about all day long was art.
Even when Bruno was building the wonders, he had to mobilize a large number of great engineers, art masters, and sculptors from the Kingdom of Basel...
It was with their help that Bruno was able to make repairs during the construction of the wonders, not only maintaining their original wonder ratings, but sometimes even creating wonder buildings with higher ratings, like Idar Public University and Idar Royal Exchange.
Moreover, the achievements made by the former Kingdom of Basel in the art of singing and dancing were also unique.
only……
Before this, those graceful dances and clear singing voices were only enjoyed by the nobles of Basel.
And now, in order to enrich the spiritual and cultural life of all Idar people, Bruno plans to set up a drama troupe!
wrong,
It is not just a drama troupe, it is the cornerstone of the performing arts industry in the Principality of Idar!
And this...
This was Bruno's second step in preparing for the cultural offensive of the Principality of Idar! Although sometimes, culture sounded a bit far away, and cultural victory seemed to be an illusory thing.
But Bruno knew deeply that cultural soft power could bring changes to the Principality of Idar and the impact it could bring to the Principality of Idar! And a very important point is that
Performing arts is undoubtedly an important way to spread culture! It is a remarkable way of conveying information.
Just like in the previous life on Earth,
The individual heroism in Eagle Sauce culture, the collective honor in Rabbit culture, and the different cultural identities around the world, these different cultural heritages can all be spread and promoted through artistic performances.
From cultural dissemination to cultural invasion, Bruno has seen too many such examples in the Internet era of his previous life.
so……
As a qualified time traveler, Bruno naturally has to apply what he has learned flexibly and use cultural beliefs to defeat cultural beliefs.
Only in this way can Bruno, through various artistic performances and overwhelming public opinion offensives, completely eliminate the remaining influence of the Church of Light in the eastern part of the continent.
In fact,
Bruno had also long begun to establish an image for the Principality of Idar and the land he ruled.
The Principality of Idar is the light of hope on the continent, a beacon of freedom that leads the common people to the future, and the only miraculous place where one can realize dreams and have dignity!
Prior to this,
The philosophy of the Principality of Idar was merely spread by word of mouth among the common people. Bruno cared more about what he did than what he said.
But now... the Principality of Idar's cultural offensive and public opinion mobilization have gradually been put on the agenda as the situation continues to change.
This is why Bruno wanted to establish the Idar Theatre Company!
In this era, the effects that can be achieved by performances of drama and musicals are in no way inferior to those of movies and television in the previous life!
As for why Bruno was so sure...
because……
This is the spectacular bonus that the Arc de Triomphe can bring!
The triumphal arch built in front of the Royal Palace of Basel is a witness to the conquest of the Kingdom of Basel by Idar's army, and also a commemoration and symbol of the Basel conquest war.
However, while being commemorative, the construction of the Arc de Triomphe will also bring an unignorable spectacle bonus effect to the Principality of Idar.
Establishing the cultural confidence of the Idar people is one of the spectacular bonus effects that the Arc de Triomphe can provide!
In Bruno's view,
The spread of literature and the preaching of the gospel complement each other.
A higher cultural level, richer knowledge and broader horizons will undoubtedly further compress the living space and faith foundation of the Church of Light.
Hannah and her companions, of course, already knew their mission.
From now on, they will become members of the Idar Drama Troupe, have a new job, and tour the land of the Principality of Idar.
actually……
When Hannah Daria first heard the news, she felt at a loss and confused.
The reason is simple. The audience watching their performances are no longer aristocrats, but common people!
Oh my god,
Hannah Darya, who was born into a commoner family, certainly experienced the hardships of commoner life, but during the days she lived in the Basel Palace, she also witnessed the luxurious lifestyle of the nobles.
Of course Hannah looked down on the common people, but...
She did not think that the common people who could not even satisfy their own food and clothing could enjoy opera and dance in the magnificent palace like the nobles.
But then,
The actions of the Idar Culture Ministry officials completely stunned Hanna Daria.
The venue for their performance is not a magnificent palace, but an open-air stage; the plays they perform will no longer be dances and operas, but dramas that are said to be choreographed by Bruno Stuart, Duke of Idar.
If it were just that, it would be fine.
But here’s the thing…
Those shows are just a bunch of what and what?! Okay,
In this era, there was no performance form like drama that used stories and plots, so... the concept of drama proposed by Bruno was an eye-opener for Hannah and others.
There are stories and plots...
Although there are no clear singing and swaying dancing, the content of the drama is fascinating and makes people indulge in it involuntarily.
Since the current drama exists as an important part of the cultural strategy of the Principality of Idar, the content of the play has naturally been carefully selected.
For example, Hannah's performance is a large-scale drama - "Common People Partners".
This drama is based on the most ordinary civilians in the Principality of Idar. It tells the story of the struggle of Idar civilians from civilians to businessmen, and from the perspective of an observer, tells the audience about the earth-shaking changes that have taken place in the Principality of Idar over the years.
In fact, when Hannah first got the script, in addition to being surprised by the form of expression of the drama subject matter, she was more amazed by the content of the script.
Being born into a commoner family, she was well aware of the gap between commoners and merchants, and also well aware of the influence of noble lords on commoners and merchants.
However……
On the way to the Principality of Idar, Hannah Daria finally experienced firsthand the complete difference between the Principality of Idar and the former Kingdom of Basel.
In the Principality of Idar, the management of the Idar Government Office has made the chronic problems of the Kingdom of Basel a thing of the past.
Steam locomotives roared past, and magic transmission routes spread across the wilderness.
In addition, there are neat and square farmlands, and rows of factories and workshops...
Anyone can see that this country in the east of the continent is developing rapidly under the leadership of the Stuart family at a speed that ordinary people can hardly imagine! It is precisely because of all this that the Idar people can tell stories that others have never heard of in the script! Of course, the story is the story, and the content of the drama is certainly the key to attracting the audience's attention, but instilling the ideas of the Principality of Idar into the civilians and exposing the ugliness behind the church bit by bit, this is the original intention of the drama performance!
In this drama, the collusion and conspiracy between the fat priest who claims to be righteous and the nobles makes Hannah Daria hate it to the core.
Outside of the drama...
When these plays began to become popular in the Principality of Idar, the criticism of the Church of Light would naturally intensify along with the discussion of the plays.
Yes,
This is what Bruno wanted to see! Before the faith of the civilians who once believed in the Church of Light collapsed, Bruno did not intend to directly publicize the ugliness of the Church of Light in the name of the Principality of Idar.
Because in his opinion, only by allowing the common people to discover and explore on their own, will the common people's resentment towards the Church of Light continue to ferment, and then be released to the greatest extent.
This is yesterday’s update. Today’s update will probably be in the early morning, so don’t wait until tomorrow morning to read it.
