Chapter 209 Bankruptcy
Ten minutes ago, after Mrs. Marina completed the financial statements, Joshua's study welcomed a new guest, that is Sir Whitebud.
Since the two films "Beauty and the Devil" and "This Devil Is Not So Cold" were screened in succession, the popularity of the Baijinghua Theater has been pushed to an unprecedented height.
Sir Bauhinia swears that without the two films made by Joshua, the Bauhinia Theater would have been turned into a pile of ruins under the attack of his old opponent.
It was Qiao Xiu's appearance that saved the theater that was on the verge of bankruptcy, and allowed the Baijinghua Theater to achieve an achievement recorded in the annals of history.
"Your Highness Joshua."
Sir Baijinghua walked into the study and took off his hat. Since he knew Joshua's true identity, he was a prince from the devil world, he changed his name to Joshua's Highness.
"Is it really okay for you to walk on the street in this dress?"
Joshua looked at this chubby middle-aged actor and theater manager. Whether it was hairstyle or attire, Joshua reminded him of Stan Phil, the number one villain in "This Devil Is Not So Cold".
"Occasionally, someone would recognize him and be mistaken for Mr. Stanfield, but under the mediation of my guards, nothing major happened, and a few little girls asked me for their autographs."
Sir Bai Jinghua will be recognized by fans of "This Devil Is Not So Cold" when he walks on the street in this outfit, but his treatment is not as good as that of Prouker who plays the leading actor Leon.
In most cases, fans treat him as a heinous villain and bombard him with magic to vent the grievances accumulated against this character in the movie.
Although it was very dangerous to wear this attire, Sir Baibuhua seemed to be very happy with it.
"Signature? It seems that the role of Stanfield is still very attractive, so what's the matter for you to come to me this time, Sir Baibuhua?"
Joshua did not participate in the internal management of the Whitebud Theater, nor did he doubt Sir Whitebud's loyalty.
If Joshua guessed correctly, Sir Baijinghua was most likely the servant of Lord Skeleton, and Lord Skeleton also cast some kind of magic on this human offspring.
Qiao Xiu could easily deprive the other party of his life through the imprint from the skeleton man in his palm.
"His Highness Qiao Xiu, this is the latest marketing statistics of the Baijinghua Theater. I have already put the part that belongs to you into the savings bank."
Sir Bai Jinghua took out a thick account book and handed it to Qiao Xiu. Qiao Xiu flipped through it roughly, and every income in it was so much that the third demon prince had never seen it in his life.
The movie box office is indeed a huge income. Although Hearthstone's card packs are also a huge income, it is the income from the movie that really supports Qiao Xiu's assets.
"Also, my servant told me that recently the administrator of the Nolan National Theatre, that is, the businessman who doesn't understand art, intends to sell the theater."
Sir Bauhinia is an artist with a dream. Once he was on the verge of bankruptcy because of his dream, the official Nolan National Theater that drove him into bankruptcy.
After Qiao Xiu came, everything changed. Sir Baibuhua not only fulfilled his lifelong dream, but also completely defeated the plot of his old opponent.
"After the Black Swan Troupe left, the Nolan National Theater did not have the leverage to resist... But I didn't expect the theater manager to sell it so decisively. What about the troupe that used to work under this theater?"
After staying in Nolan for such a long time, Joshua had already understood the working mode of this world theater.
Generally speaking, every theater is trying to cultivate its own troupe, and Sir Whitebud has also cultivated two well-known troupes in Nolan, but they were later poached by the Nolan National Theatre.
"That hateful businessman will sell them together with the theater as if they were commodities. Your Highness Joshua, there are still many potential actors in those theater troupes."
After all, Sir Baijinghua is not a qualified businessman, but a humane artist. He is introducing to Joshua those actors who are about to be homeless.
"Bring those actors together, I can give them a chance, but you tell them, besides acting skills, what I need is loyalty, not a commodity that can be abducted by money."
There were no waves in Joshua's voice. Sir Bai Jinghua looked at the young man sitting behind the desk. To be honest, he didn't feel any aura that a ruler should have in Joshua...
But Sir Baijinghua still felt a chill down his spine when he heard Joshua's words. He deeply understood that the person sitting in front of him was not a 'human being', but a 'dangerous Chaos Demon'.
"Understand His Highness Qiao Xiu, I will tell them."
Sir Baijinghua lowered his head and bowed to Qiao Xiu before leaving the study.
After watching him leave the study, Joshua yawned, then picked up a pile of movie scripts in the study.
In order to improve her level as a spellcaster, Shirley asked Joshua for a leave of absence to go to the Spellcasters Association for an assessment. The vacation would last about a week.
The departure of this female magician made Joshua feel a little unaccustomed, or... Unaccustomed to not have her complaints?
Joshua put aside these strange thoughts and began to think about the plan for the next movie.
Sure enough, the most direct way to test an actor is to let him directly participate in the shooting of a movie, and the audition is the first step.
Qiao Xiu plans to make a story about the relationship between humans and animals for his next movie. "Beauty and the Devil" and "This Devil Is Not So Cold" have begun to gradually change the human impression of demons.
But Joshua needs a movie that can move other races to tears after watching it, such as... the elves.
During the period when Qiao Xiu was checking the script, Yinuo happened to walk into Joshua's study with today's dinner. The succubus held two dinners in his hand, one for Joshua and the other for Tailin's.
"Ino, let Tai Lin come to my study after the broadcast."
"Sister Tailin... um... I understand His Highness Qiao Xiu."
When Yinuo heard that Joshua asked him to go to Tailin, his whole body trembled slightly, and even the devil's unique tail on Yinuo's back curled up into a ball.
"Taylin don't mind what you do, sometimes if you can't resist, just enjoy it silently."
Of course, Qiao Xiu knew about a strange habit that the frost elf had developed recently, and Qiao Xiu didn't intend to stop it. After all, although Ino said he didn't want it, he actually seemed to enjoy it.
"OK."
In the end, Eno left Joshua's study with mixed feelings.
