《My Brother is Napoleon》Chapter 11: Screenplay
Advertisement
Joseph's life after that was as hard as Amand had predicted, living on black bread and cold water every day. The life lasted for about two months, and Joseph managed to make himself look more like a bamboo pole.
Joseph, a theater company, is preparing a comedy called "The Governor of the Island". Well, the story is taken from Don Quixote. I think your figure is very suitable for playing a knight of Quixote in this comedy. Amand said to Joseph with a smile.
"Damn it!" said Joseph. Joseph said, "Don Quixote is not the main character in this play, is he? The main character is Sancho."
At this point, he looked Amand up and down and said, "I have to say, you're going to need a lot of work to play the lead.
"Who said I'm playing the lead role? How is that possible?" Sancho is short and fat, and I'm a little bit shorter than you, but I have nothing to do with being short or fat. Joseph, is there something wrong with your brain or your eyes? Or is it because you have completely entered the role, so you can already see the windmill as a giant?
Joseph laughed at that, "Ah, Amand, why is your brain so rigid? Isn't a comedy because of its absurdity? Amand, you must know that the world is absurd and life is painful. This, my friend, is the reality of the world.
In the old days, King Midas searched for a long time in the forest for the wise Cyranois, the companion of the god of wine, but failed to find him. When Silenus finally fell into his hands, the king asked him: What is the best and most wonderful thing for man? The god was dumbfounded and did not say a word until the king forced him, and he finally said this in a loud laugh: "Poor worm that lives and dies, son of the unpredictable and troubled, why do you force me to say what you had better not hear? The best thing in the world is the one you will never get - that is, not to be born, not to exist, to become nothing. But the next best thing you can still find is to die! What a terrible story, what do we see when we lift the fog that envelops the towering Olympus and exposes its foundations to our eyes? We find ourselves confronted with the overwhelming fear of the violence of nature, the destiny that relentlessly rules overall knowledge, the eagle that afflicted the great lover of mankind, Prometheus, the terrible fate of the wise Odysseus, and the family plague of Atreus that drove Orestes to parricide his mother. We see that behind the sacred majesty of the Greek gods, there lurks the very terror of the Titans. In order to live on, and because of this urgent need, the sensitive Greeks had to create a dream world to counteract the horrible reality. Just as Apollo raised Medusa's head high, thus making all kinds of horrible monsters retreat. And comedy and even art of all kinds is this dream.

The dream can be absurd, and even must be absurd. Only the scary Medusa can scare off the other scary monsters. So why are you stuck on Sancho being a hunk?"
"Joseph, you damned fellow." Amand said, "You are just fooling people with your knowledge. My head is spinning. Although what you say seems to make sense, the audience needs a beautiful dream, not a nightmare that scares them. I don't think they'll accept a tall, handsome Sancho like me."
"Indeed, the contrast between Sancho's image and his wisdom was an interesting one, and this contrast caused the audience to be delighted. If you go straight up there, indeed, there is no such contrast. But my friend, have you forgotten that there is a way to turn Helen into Gaia, although it is not yet possible to make Gaia with one eye and one tooth of the three gray witches with an ugly appearance in Greek mythology zhōnggòng. Joseph laughed.
"You're talking about makeup, right? But how can you change a tall person into a short one? Amand said in confusion.
"How can there be no solution? There is never a lack of solutions to problems in this world, only a lack of smart brains to think of them. Joseph said as he fetched a pencil and a piece of rough paper filled with math problems from the table beside him.
"Look, let's make a ...... in the same way we made a whale baleen dress. Joseph said as he drew on the paper.
"This is ......" Amand's eyes widened, "Hey, this seems to work, but it's just too tiring for the actors to do this.
"It's a little difficult to find a midget who can act, but it's hard to find one. But an actor who can act and suffer is easy to find, isn't it? The company's main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. The actual fact is that the actual person who is playing the dwarf suddenly stood up straight, and the effect must be very comical.
"Ho, ho, ho ......" The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market. The company's main business is to provide a wide range of products and services to the market.
"So England is superior to France in technical inventions," Joseph replied. Joseph replied.
......
After this conversation, two more days passed. Amand came to Joseph again and said.

"Joseph, that was a good idea you had last time. Especially the one at the end of the curtain call, there was a lot of laughter. It was very good. I think Joseph you can also become a screenwriter. You know, the Greek and Roman plays are good, but a lot of them are too old for today's stage. And the more recent Renaissance works, too. In addition, even the works of modern literary figures are often too old to be performed on the stage without modification because they are so much imitated by the ancients. That is why many theater companies need a playwright. Most of these scriptwriters are ordinary actors who know the stage well, but their knowledge of the art is not high enough. So many theater companies, in addition to having a scriptwriter who is an actor, will also look for a scriptwriter who has a good taste in art, so that they can collaborate with each other. For example, the "Dragon and Rose" troupe that performed the last production of "The Governor of the Island" would like to hire such a playwright. Also, many artists have started from such a position. Originally, they asked me to come to them as a scriptwriter. But, you know, I'm very busy, and you need money nowadays. Just Joseph, my friend, do you still have the energy and time to do this work?
"Ah, thank you so much, my friend." Joseph said gratefully, "As for energy and time, my friend, they are like the water in a sponge.
"Joseph, you know what? The interesting thing about talking to you is that I can always hear something extraordinarily philosophical from you. In fact, you are a very interesting person, if you do not deliberately make a clerical look, you will certainly be favored by the girls. Of course, compared to me may still be a little less, but certainly better than Lucian ah. You see, Lucian already has a qíngfù.
"Lucian also has a qíngfù?" The news came as a surprise to Joseph, because although Lucian's family was rich, he had very little money to spare, and his father would never have supported him in raising a wife.
"The reason for this is that the family has some money, but he has very little, and his father would never support him in raising a qíngfù. I met Lucien's new coat and hat, and his shiny new shoes, wrapped in a Lucien, with a bouquet of flowers in his hand, and a wooden look on his face, and I didn't even hear him say hello. I looked at his face with an expression of apprehension and anticipation, as if he was going to a thesis defense or like a general preparing to go to war. Ah, that look is familiar to me - because I've seen it a lot. I have given this state a biological name: "fāqíng. Well, Lucian is now in this state. I'm sure he's got a little qíngfù.
"You're not sure?" Joseph said. Joseph said, "That's not like you. Did you not sneak up behind Lucien to see what kind of a girl could charm him at once?
Of course, I did. I thought this guy would go to the little garden behind the church to meet his little "lover". I thought, "This guy really knows how to find a place. I didn't think he would get on a bus there, and then ......"
"And then you lost him, didn't you?" Joseph laughed.
"Yes, I did. But I'll be sure to find out what kind of goblin has gotten our Lucien into that state. Hahahaha ......" The mango laughed.
"By the way, Mr. DeNardi, the director of the Dragon and Rose Theatre Company, would like to meet you sometime and buy you a cup of coffee. See when you can find the time."
"How about Sunday afternoon? I'm not doing much that afternoon," Joseph replied. Joseph replied.
"Well, then I'll go and make an appointment with Mr. DeNardi. Well, do you have any requests for a place?"
"Anywhere you want," Joseph replied.
