Chapter 54
“I don’t think I need to give any examples for swear words, and this gesture as well. Oh right, I don’t think you are able to understand it.”
Joshua made the gesture that best encapsulates and expresses a person’s indignation back on Earth, the middle finger. The origins on the middle finger could be traced all the way to the two-finger salute in the Hundred Years War between the English and the French. In a sense, even the Earth’s cussing culture is also making headway here.
Examples like a filthy knave, or a drudge or that poem ridiculing Cao Cao’s ugliness written by Chen Lin.
Joshua had been paying attention to the cultural trends of this world for a while now, and most of them were vocabularies derived from the conflicts and differences between races. Like how Joshua would see the verbal tirades between mages amongst his Owl Penpals.
“You conniving gnome! I should have printed you onto my staff and blast you off inside a fireball!”
All in all, vulgar languages existed in any world, and while Joshua did not approve of the culture of insulting one another, but after completing the filming of “Beauty and the Demon”, Joshua should start planning the filming of “Leon: The Professional”.
‘Leon: The Professional’ was not a fairy tale written for young girls like “Beauty and the Beast” was.
Joshua believed that the tone of the movie was very dark, as it dealt with gangs, drugs, domestic violence, and the like, revealing parts of the dark side of society.
Joshua’s series of vulgar words had Gallolie stunned, only then did she knew that there were many vulgar words in the world.
“Once you are able to utter f*ck smoothly, I will allow you to be the main lead of the next movie. Believe me, movies will replace stage plays, and I am the only person in this world that knows how to shoot one, and how to make one. Plus I’m teaching you how to be a movie actor instead of a stage actor.”
Joshua observed Gallolie’s expression, she had been silent all these while as if she had encountered a massive shock to her outlook in life. Perhaps when she is really selected as the main lead for ‘Leon: The Demon’, this noble lady’s entire outlook of life will come crashing down.
Thinking of this, Joshua felt a sense of guilt. Was he teaching someone to be a bad girl?
“I… will give it a try.”
Gallolie took a deep breath in, she knew what was preventing her from performing, the so-called self-restraint, the so-called arrogance of the nobility, and it was this arrogance that drove her to believe that there was no role that she could not play in this world!
“Take care.”
Joshua saw the Flower of Farucci off, hoping that when he saw this Black Swan again, she would be a true Black Swan. Swans were after all fully capable of being extremely fierce.
