Bringing Culture to a Different World

he content, which basically comprised of business terms and conditions that were in line with Norland’s patent laws.
The summary of it was that Joshua would only need to sit back and count his money.
The split on ticket sales profit was also amended from a 70-30 split to 80-20 in his favor.

“I still have some savings, Sir… You must have produced this masterpiece at a great price.
Besides, my biggest spending is only to maintain this theater,” said Sir Weissenasche.

He was a sincere playwright who devoted himself fully to the arts.
Joshua accepted Sir Weissenasche’s kind offer since he most definitely needed the money to carry out the next steps of his plan.

Joshua signed his name on the contract and returned it to Sir Weissenasche, who carefully stored it away.

“You can leave the rest to me, Sir.
If you need help with casting for your next movie, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
I can get you the right people.”

In fact, Sir Weissenasche was referring to himself in particular.
As an actor and playwright, he hoped to star in Joshua’s next movie, even if it was just as an extra.

“Casting? I do agree that it’s time to work on this side of things.
I want to set up a merchant guild.”

“Beauty and the Demon” was going to be popular during its long theatrical run.
All Joshua needed to do was wait until the movie’s fanbase spread to all corners of Norland.

Once “Beauty and the Demon” became a sensation, people would start to notice the names in the rolling credits and the company logo before the movie began.

There would not be a lack of people interested in auditioning for the next movie like Sir Weissenasche, and there was no reason for Joshua to reject the request of the old veteran actor.
Hence, he decided to set up a proper entertainment company.

In Norland, the closest thing to an entertainment company that he could find was a merchant guild.

“Are you interested in… trading, Sir?”

“No, this guild will be a bit like the guilds formed by spellcasters, except that the members in my guild will work as actors, painters, and the like.”

Joshua wanted to build a merchant guild that focused on the trinity of the entertainment industry, namely gaming, film, and music.
However, he had not decided on a name yet.
He considered calling it the Earth Entertainment Guild, but that sounded a little weird.

“In that case, may I join it, Sir? I believe I can also provide the guild with an address.”

Sir Weissenasche knew that spellcasters would form guilds to accept jobs and earn a commission.
It was especially common for spellcasters skilled in combat to do so.

“Thank you for your offer, Sir Weissenasche, but I don’t think the theater is suitable to be converted into a tavern.”

His company needed an office.
Joshua had set his eyes on a particular estate in Norland for that purpose, a building owned by the tradeswoman, Melina.

Melina had lost her goods to some thieves and also her status as a tradesperson.
Joshua was willing to lend her a hand, but he wondered if she would be willing to take on a different role as manager of Hearthstone Tavern… That was Joshua’s intended location for his guild office.
