The rope of fate, who is the real murderer behind the scenes?
Two consecutive female leads fell to death, casting the shadow of a curse on the Golden Rose Theatre. Mad Eyes - "Scrooge" resorted to the heavy entanglement of the rope of fate. He is well-dressed, as if he has joined the upper class, and behind his solid gold unilateral glasses, he reveals his shrewdness and meanness; his clothes sewn with gold threads and large gems show off the huge profits he has made through the theater, and he also attracts a famous person. Excellent actors join the theater; the shackles in his pockets and burning candlesticks declare his absolute control over the theater. Whether it is the repertoire, the status of the actors or even their lives, he regards them as his own private property.

Design Idea Plans
The head and founder of the theater, he wanted to be the center of the stage when he was young, but an accident ruined all his dreams. He once fell in love with the original leading actress of the troupe. On the surface, he is a rich duke who loves charity and plays, but in fact has a strange hobby, like bribing actresses with money; thus he established the Golden Rose Theater - a solid cage built with money.

Design Idea Sketch
As a wealthy Duke with a noble status and a twisted heart, the design should highlight the characteristics of a controlling, powerful and dignified old man.

ScroogeSketch1

In the early concepts, there were various problems with the design, such as random details, colors not matching with the theme and being too fancy, and details that didn't match.

After the overhaul, the tailoring, color matching, and details of the character's clothes reveals his powerful identity and background. At the same time, his expression and small spikes are used to imply his actual personality. The design can clearly produce a kind of masked beast temperament.

Model Details Description

ScroogeDetails
  1. His monocle reveals a kind of shrewdness and meanness unique to the upper class. When he looks at you through the lens, what does he see?
  2. The brass shackles hanging from his pocket don't match with his elegant attire, showing the director's twisted desire to control. The inner workings of the theater doesn't seem to be as glamorous as it appears on the surface.
  3. Unlike other aristocrats who opted for fine canes, "Scrooge" held a burning candlestick in his hand, and he carried it around the theater. He is like a jailer guarding his prisoners.
  4. Clothes made of gold thread and large gemstones show the supreme wealth of the old man, and many actors are willing to step into the golden cage

"Scrooge" is always holding his candlestick, and the ruby and golden rose on his chest is emitting a soft light, but it makes his face more gloomy.

Trivia[]

  • "Scrooge" is the name of the director of the Golden Rose Theater, the alternate story in the Second Anniversary investigation.
    • His name is likely a reference to the main character of the novella "A Christmas Carol", Ebenezer Scrooge. Fittingly, both characters are elderly men motivated by varying degrees of greed. Scrooge is also used to describe someone who is stingy with money.
