Chapter 184 Movie
The entire Gyoncorde Plaza was now packed with people who had come to attend the premiere ceremony.
To maintain order, the Immigration Bureau had deployed several full squads directly into the plaza to take responsibility for stability.
But even so, the plaza's entrance passages were incredibly crowded at this moment.
However, as VIP guests, Brett and Shyarly, plus Morgans, naturally didn't need to use the regular passages.
Since Tesoro was personally leading the way, they didn't even need to show tickets.
Step by step, stairs floated in the sky through bubble technology. Tesoro led Brett and the others up the stairs until they finally reached a high platform that was also floating in the sky using bubble technology.
Many chairs had already been placed on the platform—luxurious ones, which was obvious at first glance.
There were already some people here.
"Hey, Brett!"
Neptune, sitting on a particularly spacious sofa with his wife, smiled and raised his hand in greeting when he saw Brett arrive.
"It's Brother Brett. Shyarly came too, as expected?"
Queen Otohime covered her mouth with a mischievous smile. "How loving."
Besides the royal couple, their four children sat behind them, with Shirahoshi happily waving at Brett—or rather, at Shyarly.
She was little Nana's friend and often went to the Mermaid Cafe to play with her.
Through this connection, Shyarly and Queen Otohime, who often personally escorted her daughter, could also be considered acquaintances.
So even when facing this country's king and queen, Shyarly could remain quite composed. She smiled lightly, "Your Majesty and Her Majesty are the ones who are always so intimate."
"Hahahaha, of course!"
Neptune looked very proud. "That's what being married means—loving each other!"
Brett agreed with this aspect. They had been married for over ten years, but their relationship was as good as newlyweds.
"Hey, really now. Today is Tesoro's main event."
Another voice spoke up—it was Jinbei.
He sat to the side and behind the royal couple, saying somewhat helplessly, "You can chat anytime, can't you?"
Tesoro gave Jinbei a thumbs up.
"Anyway, find yourselves seats first."
He said, "Then you can start looking forward to the ceremony officially beginning!"
Tesoro hurried off.
He was the host of the premiere ceremony and had no time to waste on small talk now.
So Brett pulled Shyarly over to find a place to sit.
Morgans tactlessly sat on a single sofa next to Brett.
He lazily leaned back against the sofa.
"Mr. Tesoro is truly remarkable."
He smiled. "Very few people on these seas can recognize what a top-tier superstar means to ordinary people."
This guy was naturally very clear about this matter—the World Economy News specialized in this field.
"If Mr. Tesoro truly becomes the world's number one superstar as he wishes, combined with your strength, Mr. Brett, and Fish-Man Island's influence..."
When Morgans reached this point, he couldn't help but chuckle softly. "What a wonderful combination that would be! Can I ask you for one favor, Mr. Brett?"
He said, "If you have any important actions in the future, remember to let me know. You know I don't want to miss any big news in this world."
"In return, I can also provide you with intelligence. Though it's embarrassing to boast, I think my intelligence network does have some unique features."
This guy sure talked a lot, though it fit his character perfectly.
His willingness to help Tesoro was probably just because this was big news.
But Brett only found him noisy.
Then.
The plaza's lights instantly went out. In front of the floating platform in the sky, light began to gather, finally forming Tesoro's appearance.
A giant Tesoro, nearly a hundred meters tall, large enough for even audience members in the very back of the plaza to clearly see his appearance.
Many Den Den Mushi were projecting light from all around.
Den Den Mushi were just that amazing—they could even achieve virtual image effects.
Tesoro held a microphone and said, "Welcome everyone to my movie premiere."
Cheers immediately erupted.
Many people probably didn't know why they should cheer now, but that was fine—just follow the crowd.
"My name is Tesoro. I'm the male lead, director, and screenwriter of this movie 'Romance Ten Thousand Meters Under the Sea.' Honestly, filming this movie took a lot of effort."
"The investment was huge, the filming process was troublesome, but fortunately, it's finally completed."
"I think the movie's quality should be pretty good. Whether I'm just boasting will be left for you all to judge."
"So then."
Tesoro paused. "Please begin enjoying this audio-visual feast. The movie begins."
The giant Tesoro's body instantly collapsed, then the next second, beams of light projected from all directions, forming light screens in the sky.
Creating one massive screen that everyone could see clearly was technically possible, of course, but that would be too unfriendly to people sitting in front—even if they craned their necks with effort, they wouldn't be able to see the entire screen.
So Tesoro's approach was to divide the plaza into many different sections and project screens for each one separately.
As VIP guests, the floating island where Brett and the others sat naturally had a screen projected for them as well.
Then, on all the screens, images began to appear. The movie had officially started.
One thing Brett really appreciated about Tesoro was that he never dragged things out. Before the movie started, there were no lengthy speeches or statements. He felt there was no need to move the audience with how hard he had worked or how difficult filming had been—the movie's quality was completely sufficient.
A very confident guy.
Well then, Tesoro, let me see how your proudly acclaimed movie measures up.
As Brett thought this, images flowed across the light screen.
Tesoro's company logo flashed by, then the azure ocean appeared with a small boat sailing on the sea.
The camera zoomed in, and a green-haired man came into everyone's view—it was Tesoro.
Then music suddenly swelled.
Tesoro began dancing gracefully on the deck, dancing while singing loudly, and even other passengers on the ship nonchalantly joined in this song and dance.
Brett kept his mouth pursed the entire time.
He understood the idea of using song and dance to tell the male protagonist's background and current situation.
But wasn't this kind of artistic approach a bit too avant-garde?
Wasn't this really just wanting to show off his own singing and dancing?
That's what Brett was thinking.
However.
"Hahaha, how interesting!"
King Neptune's hearty laughter came from beside him.
"Right? Very interesting, isn't it?"
Queen Otohime also smiled as she spoke. "The music sounds great, and the dancing is quite good too!"
Brett's mouth twitched.
"Using your own preferences to speculate about others, Brett."
Shyarly hugged Brett's arm, her voice carrying laughter. "Isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
Brett's face fell.
Anyway, he'd just watch the movie seriously now.
