Chapter 2267 Gotham Music Chapter (6)

Chapter 2267 Gotham Music Festival (VI)

Arthur's talk show was a huge success. Even before the opening performance was over, it had been reposted over 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 funny jokes. When some people watch translated foreign talk shows, they may wonder whether the jokes are funny or not, and they may even think that this is a cultural gap issue. In fact, this is not the case.

There are many types of comedy talk shows. Some have heavier comedy elements and are simply meant to make people laugh. Some use humorous elements to allude to racial and social system issues. Some even simply make blatant sarcasm.

The most difficult part of a talk show is not writing the jokes, but how to string together many 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 problem that is enough to give any talk show host and scriptwriter a headache. You can't expect the audience who watches talk shows to have the same patience as the audience who watches Shakespeare's plays. Their viewing expectations are different.

Audiences watching Shakespeare's plays may have spent a week relaxing, only to be greeted by a wonderful performance. They will not miss any facial details of the actors and will be fully immersed in this magnificent performance. This is a consumption rather than a supplement for them.

But the talk show audience may just be unable to find any good TV series to watch after get off work on the weekend, so they buy a ticket and come over to listen to the jokes. Their brains are not working at all, but instead they expect comedians to replenish their energy. They are irritable and hungry.

This results in them being unable to listen to any long stories. Don't expect them to remember what the talk show host said two minutes ago. They are not interested in the causes, processes, or results. It's just that their instinct makes them grab everything funny and laugh.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to carry out a long narrative, unless you incorporate humor and comedy elements into all the plots, but this will appear very fake, making the plot too deliberate and ridiculous, and losing the meaning of a long narrative.

Arthur's talk show is considered by industry insiders to be a good balance between the boredom of long narratives. His ability to stimulate the audience's curiosity is almost perfect, replacing their need for short jokes and humor with another kind of hunger, allowing them to listen to long stories.

Although the cooperation of Bruce, the object of his ridicule, is indispensable, it is also his ability to make the world's richest man cooperate so well.

The amazing thing is that people did not find any information about Arthur. He said that he had been arrested and imprisoned and 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 could have such great power to suppress all reports.

The gossip with Bruce Wayne made Arthur's fame rise to a new level. He became an overnight sensation. People wanted to know what his face looked like under his clown mask.

After the opening ceremony, there were 5 to 6 programs, most of which were family-friendly songs and dances, and the last program was still Selena singing on stage. When she sang the last part, the audience cheered and asked Arthur to return.

Arthur had to re-enter the stage, and Selina walked gracefully to the audience, not forgetting 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 beauty by his side, he can still show up on the roof of Wayne Building at 8 o'clock every night... Wait, what was the name of the reporter who took the photo of him?"

Then Arthur pretended to curse and the audience immediately became excited. It turned out that gossip is the primary productive force, and the audience immediately started to shout Clark Kent's name.

Clark was there, of course, but he was a little confused about the situation. Diana nudged him with her elbow and said, "Hey, you're the one who made Bruce Wayne give up the company of a beautiful woman."

Soon someone noticed Clark's whereabouts. What's more, he was not wearing glasses today. His godly face looked even more divine under the last rays of the setting sun.

The huge audience immediately started to make a noise and kept pointing at Clark. Clark couldn't help but ask, "Are you the ones who brought the Japanese here?"

And Arthur's words, "I heard that a photo of Batman is very popular recently", raised the howling of ghosts and wolves in the audience by another 8 degrees.

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 bat costumes worn by the Batman in the main universe and Bruce are not very different, and he never shows his face, so no one knows the difference between them. No one dares to imagine that there can be two such sexy and handsome guys on the same earth, so everyone assumes that it is Bruce from this universe.

And since all the previous famous Batman photos 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 Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne that allows you to take such a photo? Even if you actually saw the scene in the photo, how could you not be distracted?

Humans understand humans best. No one should say that anyone is nobler than anyone else. We are all lustful and obsessed with sex. If you can resist this, are you still a human being?

If gossip is the primary productive force, then cheering is the first instinct of human beings. For a moment, some people were cheering Bruce and Arthur on one side, some were cheering Bruce and Superman on the other side, some were cheering for Bruce and Selina to kiss on the spot, and some were asking where Diana was, which resulted in Clark and Diana running away 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, and even Bruce went up to say a few words, that the ceremony 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 go to the beach to watch the fireworks at the opening ceremony.

Since the opening ceremony is restricted and there are too many people, it is difficult to maintain safety, so families with children basically choose to arrive at the beach early to wait for the fireworks show to begin.

Although Gotham's pollution problem has been solved, there are too many mysterious elements in the sea water, and Atlantis can't help but shake its head when it sees it, so all kinds of microorganisms cannot survive here.

As we all know, some seaside resort villas illegally use certain chemicals to kill microorganisms on their beaches. The benefit of doing this is that the sea water becomes extremely clear, which is very much in line with human aesthetics.

Gotham's beach can achieve this effect without breaking any laws. Due to the excessive number of mysterious elements, it even emits a faint light at night. After a period of publicity, it has become the most famous East Coast beach, surpassing the three-stage beach in the metropolis.

In order to allow tourists to appreciate Gotham's maritime scenery as comprehensively as possible, the city government has also developed a variety of marine projects. In addition, in order to distinguish it from the highly commercialized tourism projects in the metropolis, it has also specially formulated marine tourism routes unique to Gotham based on local conditions.

It is really unique. For example, you can take a boat to see a unique shark that is bigger than a killer whale, then take another boat to see a unique killer whale that is half the size of a blue whale, and then take 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 eat Godzilla alive.

However, not everyone can accept this uniqueness, so the main activities on the sea are still some parent-child entertainment activities, such as children's water parks on the beach, paddle board training camps on the sea, motorboats, banana boats, etc.

Gotham's beaches are not actually the kind of white fine sand found 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 also has risks. For example, some sand will be carried away by the sea and 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 avoid it. It can be said that it is feared by gods and ghosts and is immune to all poisons, and 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 go diving around the smaller islands farther away. Bruce said hello to Arthur, and Arthur will bring a batch of fish for tourists to see during the tourist season.

The local coastline focuses on commercial development, with various restaurants and hotels surrounding the beach. However, since Wayne is the only one in the business, other hotels are not allowed to occupy the beach privately, so the prime areas are all public beaches. This is extremely rare in Europe and the United States and is widely praised by tourists.

Seaside vacations are a tradition deeply ingrained in Europeans and Americans, and Gotham’s six major beaches are also the focus of Gotham’s next tourism development plan, so basically everything involves taking them with you.

The fireworks show was held at New Galway, Gotham's most famous beach. New Galway Beach was named after the Irish who landed there. He thought it had similarities with his hometown city on the west coast of Ireland, and that the naming logic was the same as New York's "New York".

Carloads of tourists were brought to the beach one after another. The well-prepared infrastructure came into play, and most of the tourists found a restaurant nearby to sit down. Even the last few cars of tourists were able to find a seat.

The restaurant with 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 not usually associated with food, nor do they make people very appetizing, but this restaurant is so popular that you never have to wait for a table because this is a real bat cave.

There is a cliff on the westernmost side of New Galway Beach, which overlooks the entire beach. However, due to its high altitude and complex terrain, tourists are not allowed to go up there, and the terrifying king of seagulls also 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, which makes it almost like living in a real cave on the cliff. Looking out, in addition to the beautiful scenery of the entire New Galway Beach, you can also see the crashing waves at your feet and flocks of seagulls overhead.

Of course, it is inevitable that you can occasionally see seagulls, sea eagles and petrels fighting each other. Don’t ask why these seabirds at different levels of the food chain can fight together. The reason is that the development of Gotham animals does not depend much on the food chain.

Of course, sometimes the fight is too intense and hits the glass, and a 4-machine gun defensive counterattack metal bat will come to mediate, and then the Kryptonians will come to mediate their fight, and then the Amazon Princess and Ion will come to mediate his fight with them, and finally Lucifer who runs a bar nearby will even come to mediate her fight with them.

In short, there will always be something lively to watch as long as you book this restaurant, so the seats by the window are full every day. On this day, the restaurant announced that it would suspend business for one day to accommodate visitors 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. Soon, others arrived.
