Chapter 442: Sky City

"No wonder Li Changshou desperately invited Pingxiang Liuying and was willing to let your cousin take the stage, but I guess he didn't expect that you would come up with this kind of song for Pingxiang Liuying on stage. The sound engineer sighed.

"You're surprised too soon. "Wang Zi'an is very calm.

Li Changshou is shrewd and has the courage to let me go on stage, because he thinks that I will work harder under the rules to help Ping Xiang Liuying.

Helping Ping Xiangliu Sakura is to help Mango Terrace and help Li Changshou.

Two days later, Pingxiang Liuzakura finished the announcement and returned to the imperial capital.

From today onwards, until the end of "Singer", she will not receive any other announcements.

It is also the schedule after the end of "Singer".

If nothing else, in the next three months, Ping Xiang Liuying will go all out to prepare for "Singer" and hit the top line.

Although Mango Satellite TV is not one of the best satellite TV in the country, the "Singer" program is one of the best in music variety shows.

Singers want to increase their exposure, and the stage "Singer" is one of the best choices.

"Sansan, isn't it good for us to go home and practice singing?" In Firefly City, in the Pingxiang Liuying lounge, she hummed and chirped for a while with the song sheet, and looked up to ask Prince Anyang.

"Not good!" Wang Zi'an refused.

Work is work, home is home.

Only when they are separated can they be united.

"Okay, Sansan, you make a request, otherwise I don't know how to express this song. Hiraka Ryuzakura put down the song sheet.

"Ethereal, distant, clear and clean. Wang Zi'an said.

"Where's the story?" asked Ruzakura Hiraka.

So, Wang Zi'an began to tell the story behind the song.

The protagonist is a little girl named Sida.

She is a descendant of the legendary "Sky City Laputa" royal family, which was once an empty Chinese Ming that surpassed the civilization on earth for thousands of years.

But in the end, Sida's ancestors left the "Castle in the Sky", abandoned the developed technology, and returned to live a secluded life on the ground.

One day, several unidentified men appeared in front of Hida's house.

The story begins when the army flying ship in which Hilda is riding is attacked by air pirates.

During the fight, Sida fell from a flying ship at a height of 10,000 meters......

The other protagonist of the story, Bass, is an apprentice to a miner's pilot, and at the end of the day, he finds that something shiny in the sky is slowly falling.

What is it?

He flew over and found that it was a very cute girl, surrounded by a cloud of blue light, floating down from the sky.

The next day, Sida wakes up in Bath's room to find a picture of "Laputa in the Sky".

This is the real city in the sky that Bass's father risked his life and went through great hardships to photograph, but no one believed him except Bath.

His father died in depression.

Buzz vows to prove to others that there really is a city in the sky!

Pirates with a keen sense of smell soon came to the door.

What follows is a dizzying chase and escape sequence, in which Hilda and Buzz fall into the mine in plain sight.

But Hildadai's flying stone glows again, causing the two to fall safely.

In the mine, the flying stone resonates with the ore underneath.

Originally, this was once a place where the raw materials of the flying stone were mined, but the technology of refining the flying stone is said to be mastered only by the people of Laputa.

As soon as the two of them came out of the mine, they were caught by the army.

Sidah is taken to the fortress, where a man named Musca shows Sida a giant robot, saying that it has fallen from the Sky City and that we can't reactivate it with the technology we have on the ground.

That night, Hilda recited the mantra passed down by her ancestors to ask for help, and the flying stone glowed, bringing the robot back to life.

The long-armed robot that came to life turned the entire fortress into a sea of fire in order to protect Sida.

Buzz took advantage of the chaos to form an alliance with the pirates and flew into the fortress to rescue Sida.

In her haste, Sida loses the Flying Stone.

Muska got the gem and ordered his army to fly to the city in the sky according to the guidance of the holy light on the gem.

On the other hand, Dora, the pirate mother, calculated the location of the city in the sky from Sida's account, and took Sida and the others to move forward at full speed on the pirate airship.

As they were about to arrive, a tornado suddenly appeared ahead, and they met Muska's ship on a narrow path.

During the engagement, Buzz and Hilda's gliders were swept up in a tornado.

This is the realm abandoned by God, where the terror of nature and the wrath of the gods gather.

Flying through the thick darkness, in the roaring lightning, through the corridor of lightning, breaking through the boundary between life and death, the door of fate opened again in front of the boy......

At the center of the tornado is the legendary flying island "Laputa in the sky".

It is a silent paradise, home to plants and ancient creatures, and robots silently guard this city in the sky.

It has a multi-level circular structure on the outside, with the upper floor being the greenhouse garden and living quarters and the rooftop, the middle floor being the royal palace and the city street, the lowest level being a hemisphere made of black unknown stones, and the interior being the center of Laputa and the holy city of Laputa, which only the royal family can enter.

In the center, there is a super large octagonal flying stone as a source of power and float for the whole city, and there is a console also made of black stone for various operations, and all stone slab operations must be touched by the flying stone worn by Hilda.

Laputa itself also has a strategic attack capability, which uses the seven stone pillars at the bottom of the black hemisphere to concentrate energy to shoot directly downward, which is equivalent to the power of today's small nuclear weapons, and the center also contains a considerable number of robot soldiers for area suppression missions.

Just as Hilda and Buzz were visiting Laputa with the robots, Muska who had captured the pirates also came.

Leading the army, Muska captures Hilda and forces her to join him into the central control room, activating the text on the Black Stone Tablet and about to begin his ambition to dominate the world.

In a fight, Hilda retrieves the Flying Stone.

Finally, in order to stop Muska's ambitions, she recites a spell that destroys everything.

Laputa disintegrates, and evil and the abetting weapon system dissolves into an atmospheric fireball and crashes into the sea.

And the huge flying stone crystals that made Laputa float in the air carried Laputa's Tree of Life to the end of the sky.

After the story was told, Pingxiang Liuzakura was in a daze.

The blue sky and thick white clouds in the mouths of the three of them fade the tense and fierce sharp conflict into an intriguing one.

Hiraka Ruzakura didn't see this film, otherwise she would have found that the characters in the story do not simply rely on lines, but rely on every specific and subtle action of the characters to make the characters' personalities more profound.

Pure, kind, simple and brave children, who see the world with their eyes, can often reflect the most sincere and thorough human nature.

Pingxiang Liuzakura imagined that there was a city in that sky, floating in the moonlight and clouds.

It carries the beauty and imagination of people's hearts, and floats proudly in the sky forever, preferring to self-destruct rather than land and intervene in everything in the world.

Perhaps, there is someone there who is giving himself an invisible blessing, waiting for him.

Hiraka Ruzakura thought, is it Sansan?

The moral of his story seems to be very deep.

Pingxiang Liuzakura brushed it.

For armies and pirates, Castle in the Sky means gold and silver.

For Muska, Castle in the Sky means supreme power.

For Baru, Castle in the Sky is a fantasy realm destined to follow in his father's footsteps.

For Hida, the city in the sky is just a place where she has never set foot in it.

To a certain extent, the city in the sky is a reflection, a symbol, reflecting everyone's hopes and aspirations.

All the robots are asleep, and only a lonely long-armed robot guards the city in the sky alone, waiting for the return of its master.

That loneliness is like the loneliness of people.

And the loneliness of man is like a city floating in the sky, as if it is a secret that cannot be told.

This story is Hayao Miyazaki's "Castle in the Sky".

Once watched the city in the sky, the audience was just obsessed with the fight and kill.

It wasn't until time went by that I really understood what it meant.

People lack reverence for anything, and Laputa in the film is a huge empire with great technological and military prowess, thousands of years ahead of the ground.

But in the story, when the city of Laputa appeared, it was an empty and ruined city.

One can only imagine its glory and prosperity through huge flying stones, countless robots, and mountains of treasure.

Miyazaki obviously did not intend to focus on the process of the emergence and development of the Laputa civilization to the audience, but only to strongly shock and shock the hearts of each audience with the eventual destruction of this once extremely prosperous civilization.

In this way, it will question all living beings in modern society, and finally think about the practical question of where human civilization should develop.

In the story, such a place should have ruled the world a long time ago, but 700 years ago, the Laputa people voluntarily abandoned their homeland and chose to go to the ground.

Why?

Perhaps, as depicted in the opening credits, the answer lies in the lyrics spoken by Hilda at the end of the film: Let our souls float to the earth, live with the wind, sow seeds after winter, and sing with the birds in spring.

The rise of any empire and the development of any society are inseparable from the protection of nature, if you want to get rid of nature and abandon nature, one day, resources will be exhausted and disasters will come.

The Laputians realized this and moved away from the sky and into the embrace of nature.

Human beings always want to conquer nature and rule everything, which is wrong.

"A child's world is always the purest and kindest. There should be more trust and less suspicion between people, and the world will be a better place. Wang Zian said to Pingxiang Rusakura.

Hiraka Ryuzakura was happy in her heart.

Sansan, is this praising me?

Definitely!

Sansan's favorite person is me!

I, Pingxiang Liusakura Sakura, in front of Sansan, am a child, a girl.

And men are full of evil in their hearts and love to sin.

A girl like me, if she wants to commit a crime, she can do it anytime and anywhere.

Where can I find such a good thing?

"Sansan, am I simple and kind?" asked Pingxiang Rusakura, quietly moving her ass towards Wang Zi'an.

You think too much, you just look like a child, Wang Zi'an wants to tell the truth.

But come to think of it, you can't say that.

If you think about it carefully, compared to her mother, she is indeed very simple and kind.

At least Wang Zi'an knows, Pingxiang Liuying has never cut anyone, and has never driven into someone he likes.

Therefore, Wang Zi'an nodded and said: "Well, I like simple and kind girls, Pingxiang, you must not learn from your mother, I prefer to use my hands and feet, and I don't want to be taken care of in a wheelchair, remember?"

"No, no, Sansan, I like you to move your hands and feet, you don't use your hands and feet, I can't sit well. Hiraka Ruzakura immediately declared.

Wang Zi'an listened to it in his ears, and he didn't know why he always felt that what she said was different from what she said.

"You don't mean anything else?" Wang Zi'an asked.

"No, Sansan, look at my eyes, aren't they pure?" Hiraka Ruzakura moved her ass again.

Wang Zi'an picked up the back collar of Pingxiang Liuying, put her back, looked at the direction of the door again, and said, "When no one is there, keep a good distance from me." It's not dark yet, so we have to convince people that there is no such thing as a fool in the world, and that people are all jumping out of stones. ”

Hiraka Ruzakura immediately picked up her phone.

"What are you doing with your phone?" Wang Zi'an felt a little uncomfortable.

Hiraka Ruzakura said, "Call, I'll call Momoeko over so we don't have to keep our distance." ”

Wang Zian wiped his sweat: "Why don't you call Yui over?"

"Is that okay?" said Hiraka Ryuzakura, a little excited.

Wang Zi'an dropped the song sheet and got up to go out.

Heika Liuzakura hurriedly packed up her things and followed out the door.

"What are you doing?" Wang Zi'an asked after a pause.

"Aren't you going home?" asked Hiraka Ruzakura, looking up, confused.

The prince was happy: "Yui is out of town, you have the ability to call her ...... tonight"

As he spoke, he saw that Pingxiang Liusakura's eyes brightened, and the prince was relieved.

Where Aragaki Yui is running now, he doesn't know.

It won't be close, will it?

"Go back and practice singing! I can't sleep if I can't practice well tonight, but Xin has already learned, I'll let her evaluate you tonight." Wang Zi'an changed his words.

Pingxiang Liusakura's face changed slightly.

Let Li Kexin be assessed, and it will be difficult for Ivan Ka to pass.

Although Li Kexin is a half-hanger, she can't bear to be commented by others.

In the end, Pingxiang Liuying went back to practice singing in a huff, and Wang Zian continued to go to the recording studio.

Some songs, the arrangement is really laborious.

There are not many musical instruments needed, or they are out of the way.

Fortunately, as long as Wang Zi'an made a request, someone would help find an instrument player.

At this time, the second batch of official posters for this year's "Singer" was announced.

The first batch of press conferences, and another batch before the recording of the first issue.

It's building momentum, and it's even more lively than last year.

Some insiders and netizens were a little skeptical for a while, is "Singer" the last season?

Because since last year, the ratings and on-demand volume of "Singer" have not been the first in music programs.

Even in all reality shows, it has not been squeezed into the top ten.

has held many seasons, if it weren't for the fact that this is a truly world-class show, and there are still many singers at home and abroad who have not appeared on stage, this model would have not had many audiences.
