Chapter 2274 Gotham Music Festival (VI)
Arthur's talk show was a great success. Even before the opening performance was over, it had been reprinted more than a thousand times on major websites. Many well-known comedy talk show critics commented that he has a unique sense of rhythm, especially in the narrative section.
In fact, comedy talk shows are not all about telling funny jokes. When some people watch the translation of foreign talk shows, they may wonder whether this paragraph is not funny. They may even think that this is a problem of cultural gap, but it is not the case.
Comedy talk shows are divided into many types. Some are more comedy-heavy and simply make people laugh. Some use humorous elements to metaphorically discuss racial and social system issues, and some are even outright mocking.
The most difficult part of a talk show is not actually 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.
To write a complete and coherent long plot is a difficult problem that is enough to make any talk show actor and script creator scratch their head. You cannot ask the audience who watch the talk show to have the patience of the audience who watch Shakespeare's plays. Their watching Expectations are different.
Audiences watching Shakespeare's plays may spend a week relaxing just to welcome a wonderful performance. They will not let go of any facial details of the actors and will be fully immersed in this magnificent performance. This is very important to them. Words consume rather than replenish.
However, the audience of talk shows may simply not be able 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 jokes. Their brains are not working at all. Instead, they are counting on comedians to replenish their energy. Is restless and hungry.
This results in them not being able to listen to any long-term stories. Don’t expect them to remember what the talk show actor said two minutes ago. They are not interested in the cause, process, or result of everything, but their instinct allows them to catch everything that is funny. Stuff laughs.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to carry out a long-term narrative, unless you incorporate humor and comedy elements into all plots, but this will appear very fake, making the plot too deliberate and absurd, and losing the meaning of the long-term narrative.
Arthur's talk show was considered by industry insiders to have well balanced the boringness of long-term narratives. He mobilized the audience's curiosity almost perfectly, allowing another kind of hunger to replace their need for short-term humor. Allow them to listen to lengthy stories.
Although the cooperation of Bruce, the object of ridicule, is indispensable, it is also his ability to make the world's richest man so cooperative.
The amazing thing is that no one has found any information about Arthur. He said that he had been arrested and imprisoned and was also imprisoned 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 could have such great energy to suppress all reports.
The gossip about Bruce Wayne made Arthur's fame even higher, and he became an overnight celebrity. People wanted to know what kind of face he had under the clown mask.
After the opening ceremony, there were 5 to 6 programs, most of which were family-friendly songs and dances. The last program was still Selena singing on stage. When she sang the last part, there was a tsunami from the audience, asking Arthur to return. field.
Arthur had to enter again, and Selina walked gracefully towards the audience, not forgetting to look back and smile at Arthur.
Arthur hurriedly ran a few steps over and kissed the back of Selina's hand. After Selina went down, he pointed to the open space and said, "You must call Bruce Wayne a great one." Man, because even with such a beautiful woman as his company, he can still appear on the rooftop of Wayne Tower at 8 o'clock every night... Wait, what is the name of the reporter who took the photo of him? "
Then Arthur pretended to curse, and the audience immediately started to boil. It turns out that gossip is the primary productive force, and the audience immediately started howling Clark Kent's name.
Clark was of course also present, but he was a little confused about the development of the situation. Diana nudged him with her elbow and said: "Hey, what about you? You are the main culprit for Bruce Wayne giving up the company of beautiful women."
Someone soon discovered Clark's trace, and what was even more terrible was that he was not wearing glasses today. His god-like face was even more divine under the last rays of the setting sun.
The crowded audience immediately began to boo and pointed at Clark. Clark couldn't help but ask, are you the ones who brought the Japs here?
And Arthur said, "I heard that a photo of Batman is very popular recently", which once again raised the howling of ghosts and wolves by 8 degrees.
Of course Clark knew which photo he was talking about, but he didn't take that photo at all, and he didn't even recognize the Batman.
But the bad thing is that the Batsuits worn by Batman and Bruce in the main universe are not very different, and he does not show his face. No one knows the difference between them, and no one dares to dream of such a sexy handsome guy. There can be two on earth, so everyone assumes that he is Bruce in this universe.
And since all the famous Batman photos before were taken by Clark, the most classic photo that has been circulated this time is thought to be from Clark Kent.
But what is the relationship between you Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne that allowed you to take such a photo? To put it another way, you have actually seen such a scene in the photo. How can you be focused on it?
Humans understand humans best. No one is nobler than anyone else. Everyone is lustful and lustful. If you can resist this, are you still a human?
If gossip is the primary productive force, then booing is the primary instinct of humans. For a while, one side booed Bruce and Arthur, the other side booed Bruce and Superman, and some booed Bruce and Selina to kiss on the spot, and some asked where Diana was, so that Clark and Diana fled together in the end.
As the sun gradually set, the opening ceremony under the night sky became more boiling, until Arthur and Selina returned once, and even Bruce went up to say a few words before it finally came to an end.
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 show to start.
Although the pollution problem in Gotham has been solved, there are too many mysterious elements in the seawater, and Atlantis shook its head when it saw it, so all kinds of microorganisms cannot survive here.
As we all know, some seaside resort villas use certain chemicals to kill microorganisms illegally. The advantage of doing so is that the seawater becomes extremely clear, which is very in line with human aesthetics.
Gotham's beaches can achieve this effect without breaking the law. Even due to 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 in Metropolis.
In order to allow tourists to appreciate the sea scenery of Gotham as comprehensively as possible, the municipal government has also developed various sea projects, and in order to distinguish it from the extremely commercial tourism projects in Metropolis, it has also specially formulated a sea 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 slightly 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 dominated by 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 not actually the kind of white fine sand beach in tropical waters, but the city government is really spending a lot of money to directly airlift white fine sand to pave the entire beach.
Of course, this is also risky, such as some sand will be carried away by the sea, and will be blown away by the frequent typhoons, but this is when Gotham's geographical advantage is reflected. When a typhoon comes, dark clouds will be released, and typhoons will go around when they see it. It can be said that it is shunned by gods and ghosts and is immune to all poisons, and it really stays for them.
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 more distant small islands. Bruce said hello to Arthur, 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, since Wayne is the only one in the world, other hotels are not allowed to occupy the beach privately, so the prime area is a public beach, which is extremely rare in Europe and the United States and is 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 has to be brought with it.
The fireworks party was held at New Galway, the most famous beach in Gotham. New Galway Beach was named by the Irish who landed on this beach. He believed that this place was similar to the west coast city of his hometown Ireland, and it was 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 still find a seat.
The best view and environment here is of course Wayne's bat-themed restaurant. Yes, it means literally, this is a restaurant full of bat elements.
Bats are usually not associated with food, nor do they make people very appetizing, but this restaurant is so popular that you have to wait for a table all the time, because this is the real bat cave.
There is a cliff on the westernmost side of New Galway Beach, which overlooks the entire beach, but because of the high terrain and complex topography, tourists are not allowed to go up, and the terrible king of seagulls lives on it.
However, no matter how powerful the seagulls are, they can't beat the local bats. Bruce dug a hole in this cliff and simulated the environment of the cave where real bats live to create a natural theme restaurant.
The side of the cliff facing the sea is sealed with seamless glass, almost like living in a cave on the cliff. Looking out, in addition to seeing the beautiful scenery of the entire New Galway Beach, there are waves crashing on the shore at your feet and flocks of seagulls above your head.
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 question is that the development of Gotham animals does not pay much attention to the food chain.
Of course, sometimes the fight was too intense and hit the glass, and there would be 4 machine gun defense counterattack type metal bats to mediate, and then Kryptonians to mediate their fight, and then Amazon Princess and Ion Man to mediate his fight with them, and finally even Lucifer who opened a bar next to her would mediate her fight with them and 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 guests from other universes.
Alfred brought the children of Wayne Manor, and Schiller brought Harley. They did not go to the opening ceremony, but waited in the restaurant early, and soon, others arrived.
