Chapter 2293 Gotham Music Festival (VI)
Chapter 2267 Gotham Music Festival (VI)
Arthur's talk show was a great success. Even before the opening ceremony, it had been reposted more than a thousand times on major websites. Many well-known comedy talk show critics commented that he had a unique sense of rhythm, especially in the narrative part.
In fact, comedy talk shows are not just about telling those funny jokes. Some people wonder if this joke is not funny when watching the translation of foreign talk shows, and may even think that this is a cultural gap problem, but it is not the case.
Comedy talk shows are divided into many types. Some have heavy comedy elements and are just to make people laugh. Some use some humorous elements to allude to racial and social system issues, and some are even completely openly mocking.
The most difficult part of talk shows is not writing short jokes, but how to connect many short jokes with humorous elements so that they have a common theme and are not too loose.
Writing a complete and coherent long plot is a difficult problem that is enough to make any talk show host and script writer scratch their scalp. You can't ask the audience who watch talk shows to have the same patience as the audience who watch Shakespeare's plays. Their viewing expectations are different.
The audience who watch Shakespeare's plays may spend a week relaxing, just to welcome a wonderful performance. They will not miss any facial details of the actors and will fully immerse themselves in this magnificent performance. This is a consumption rather than a supplement for them.
But the audience of talk shows may just be unable to find a good TV series to watch after get off work on the weekend, so they bought a ticket and came to listen to the jokes. Their brains are not working at all. Instead, they expect comedians to replenish their energy. They are irritable and hungry.
This makes them unable to listen to any long-term stories. Don't expect them to remember what the talk show host said two minutes ago. They are not interested in all causes, processes, and results. It's just that their instinct makes them catch everything funny and laugh.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to make a long narrative, unless you mix humor and comedy elements into all the plots, but this will appear very fake, making the plot too deliberate and absurd, and losing the meaning of long narrative.
Arthur's talk show is considered by industry insiders to be a good balance of the boredom of long narratives. His mobilization of the audience's curiosity is almost perfect, allowing another kind of hunger to replace their need for small jokes and humor, so that they can listen to the long story.
Although the cooperation of the object of ridicule, Bruce, is indispensable, it is also his ability to make the world's richest man cooperate so well.
The magical thing is that people have not found any information about Arthur. He said that he had been arrested and imprisoned and was put in a mental hospital, but there was no public report.
So people began to speculate that he might really have a close relationship with Bruce Wayne, because only the world's richest man can have such a great power to suppress all reports.
The gossip with Bruce Wayne made Arthur's fame even higher, and it can be said that he became popular overnight. People want to know what kind of face he has under his clown mask.
After the opening ceremony, there were 5-6 more performances, most of which were family-friendly songs and dances. The last performance was still Selina singing on stage. When she sang the last part, the audience cheered and asked Arthur to return.
Arthur had to enter again, and Selina walked towards the stage gracefully, and did not forget to turn back and smile at Arthur.
Arthur hurried over and kissed the back of Selina's hand. After Selina went down, he pointed to the empty space and said, "You must call Bruce Wayne a great man, because even with such a beautiful woman accompanying him, he can still appear on the roof of Wayne Building at 8 o'clock every night... Wait, what is the name of the reporter who took pictures of him?"
Then Arthur pretended to curse, and the audience immediately boiled. Facts have proved that gossip is the primary productive force, and the audience immediately started to howl Clark Kent's name.
Clark was also there, of course, but he was a little confused about the development of the situation. Diana nudged him with her elbow and said, "Hey, I'm talking to you. You are the culprit for Bruce Wayne giving up the company of a beautiful woman."
Soon someone found Clark's whereabouts. What's more terrible is that he didn't wear glasses today. His face, which looked like a god, looked even more divine under the last rays of the setting sun.
The huge audience immediately started to make a noise, pointing at Clark. Clark couldn't help but ask, "You are the ones who brought the devil here?"
And Arthur said, "I heard that a photo of Batman is very popular recently", which raised the ghosts and wolves' howling in the audience by 8 degrees again.
Of course Clark knew which photo he was talking about, but that photo was not taken by him at all, and he didn't even recognize that Batman.
But the bad thing is that the Batman in the main universe and the bat suit worn by Bruce are not very different, and he didn't show his face, so no one knew the difference between them, and no one dared to imagine that there could be two such sexy handsome guys on the same earth, so everyone assumed that it was Bruce in this universe.
Since all the famous Batman photos before were taken by Clark, everyone thought that the most classic photo that was circulated this time was taken by Clark Kent.
But what kind of relationship do you have with Bruce Wayne to take such a photo? Even if you actually saw the scene in the photo, could you concentrate on it?
Humans understand humans best. No one is nobler than anyone else. Everyone is lustful and obsessed with sex. If you can resist this, are you still a human?
If gossip is the primary productive force, then making trouble is the primary instinct of human beings. For a while, one side was making trouble for Bruce and Arthur, the other side was making trouble for Bruce and Superman, and some people were making trouble for Bruce and Selina to kiss on the spot, and some people were asking where Diana was. In the end, Clark and Diana fled together.
As the sun gradually set, the opening ceremony under the night sky became more and more exciting. It was not until Arthur and Selina returned to the stage once, and even Bruce went up to say a few words, that the curtain finally fell.
But this was not the end of the day's activities. Soon, several Wayne Group buses stopped at various intersections to pick up tourists to the beach to watch the fireworks of the opening ceremony.
Because the opening ceremony was restricted and there were too many people, it was difficult to maintain safety, so family tourists with children basically chose to go to the beach early to wait for the fireworks party to start.
Although Gotham's pollution problem has been solved, there are too many mysterious elements in the sea water. Atlantis shook its head when it saw it, so various microorganisms cannot survive here.
As we all know, some beaches of seaside holiday villas will illegally use certain chemical agents to kill microorganisms. The advantage of doing so is that the sea water will become extremely clear, which is very in line with human aesthetics.
Gotham's beaches can achieve this effect without breaking the law. Even because of the excessive number of mysterious elements, it will emit faint light at night. After a period of publicity, it has become the most famous East Coast beach beyond the three-stage beach of the metropolis.
In order to allow tourists to appreciate Gotham's maritime scenery as comprehensively as possible, the city government has also developed various marine projects, and in order to distinguish it from the extremely commercialized tourism projects in the metropolis, it has also specially formulated a marine tourism route unique to Gotham according to local conditions.
It is indeed unique, such as taking a boat to see a unique shark that is larger than a killer whale, then taking a boat to see a unique killer whale that is half the size of a blue whale, and then taking a boat to see the endless unique blue whale. If possible, you can also take a submarine to see the unique squid that looks like it can swallow Godzilla alive.
However, not everyone can accept this uniqueness, so the sea is mainly based on some parent-child entertainment activities, such as the children's water park on the beach, the paddle board training camp on the sea, motorboats, banana boats, etc.
Gotham's beach is actually not the kind of white fine sand beach in tropical waters, but the city government really spent a lot of money and directly airlifted white fine sand to pave the entire beach.
Of course, this is also risky. For example, some sand will be carried away by the sea and will be blown away by the frequent typhoons. But at this time, Gotham's geographical advantage is reflected. When a typhoon comes, dark clouds will be released. When a typhoon comes, it will go around. It can be said that it is shunned by gods and ghosts and is immune to all poisons. It really stays here.
There are 6 large islands and more than 30 small islands around Gotham. You can watch the sunset on the large islands, and you can dive around the distant small islands. Bruce and Arthur said hello, and Arthur will bring a batch of fish to show tourists during the tourist season.
The local coastline focuses on commercial development. There are all kinds of restaurants and hotels around the beach. However, because Wayne is the only one in power, other hotels are not allowed to occupy the beach privately, so the prime area is public beach, which is extremely rare in Europe and the United States, and is also widely praised by tourists.
Seaside vacation is a tradition engraved in the bones of Europeans and Americans, and Gotham's six major beaches are also the focus of Gotham's next tourism plan development, so basically everything must be brought with it.
The fireworks show was held at New Galway, the most famous beach in Gotham. New Galway Beach was named by the Irish who landed there. He thought it was similar to the west coast city of his hometown, Ireland, and had the same naming logic as "New York" in New York.
Cars of tourists were pulled to the beach one after another. The well-prepared infrastructure played a role. Most tourists found a restaurant nearby to sit down, and even the last few cars of tourists could find a seat.
The best view and environment here is of course Wayne's Bat Theme Restaurant. Yes, it means literally, this is a restaurant full of bat elements.
Usually bats are not associated with food, nor do they make people very appetizing, but this restaurant is so popular that you have to wait for a seat every moment, because this is the real bat cave.
There is a cliff on the westernmost side of New Galway Beach, which can overlook the entire beach, but because of the high terrain and complex terrain, tourists are not allowed to go up, and the terrible seagull king lives on it.
But no matter how powerful the seagulls are, they cannot defeat the local bats. Bruce dug a hole on the cliff and simulated the environment of the cave where real bats live to create a nature-themed restaurant.
The side of the cliff facing the sea is sealed with seamless glass, almost like living in a real cave on the cliff. Looking out, in addition to the beautiful scenery of the entire New Galway Beach, there are waves crashing on the shore at your feet and flocks of seagulls overhead.
Of course, it is inevitable to occasionally see seagulls, sea eagles and petrels fighting in a group. Don’t ask why these seabirds at different levels of the food chain can fight together. The answer is that the development of Gotham animals does not pay much attention to the food chain.
Of course, sometimes the fight is too intense and hits the glass. There will be 4 machine gun defense counterattack type metal bats to persuade them to fight, and then Kryptonians will persuade them to fight, and then Amazon Princess and Ion Man will persuade him to fight with them, and finally there will even be Lucifer who runs a bar next to her to persuade her to fight with them.
In short, as long as you book this restaurant, there will always be excitement to watch, so the seats by the window are full every day, and on this day, the restaurant announced that it would suspend business for one day to receive visitors from other universes.
Alfred brought the children from Wayne Manor, and Schiller brought Harley. They did not go to the opening ceremony, but waited in the restaurant early. Soon, the others arrived.
