Chapter 151: A Time of Glory
'Mystery, romance, love, "The Phantom of the Opera" is released today. ’
'Will the graduation work of the Modu Conservatory, a brand new musical, be a success?'
The magic city is the best place for musicals to premiere, and the audience for musicals is much stronger than that of Tsubame Kyoto, and several new musicals premiere here every year.
However, there are very few musicals that have survived.
And most of the musicals that can be handed down are foreign adaptations into Chinese.
There is often a story here that an adapted musical will destroy the domestic original musical troupe, and in this era when musicals are completely suppressed, it is too difficult for a new original musical to come out.
And this is just a microcosm of Chinese classical music.
No one expects The Phantom of the Opera to be on par with those Broadway hits, but as long as it can be excellent, it's already good.
When the time reaches the hour, the musical begins.
Wang Yang sat in the audience and took a look, there were still many people who came to watch this musical.
"I'd like to see what kind of level this musical can achieve. ”
Although he was also one of the people invited by the Conservatory, he did not promise that he would not speak ill.
An honest musician should ensure justice and fairness, so that everyone can understand the most authentic side of this musical.
And he is this honest musician.
The plot begins with an auctioneer auctioning off the remnants of an abandoned opera, with posters, music boxes, and finally a headlight.
Wang Yang made a note in his small notebook: the start was flat.
As soon as these four words were written, a burst of bright light burst out from the headlights above his head, as if the bulb had short-circuited, and sparks flew everywhere.
"What's going on?" Wang Yang subconsciously wanted to get up and run away.
Not only him, but the rest of the audience didn't react for a while.
At this moment, the audience suddenly sounded shocking music, which made people's scalps tingle, and the headlights that had been bubbling with fire began to transform into colorful lights.
"Damn, is this a set?
"I almost thought the headlights were going to fall off, and I screamed, it was scary. ”
It's really that the sudden burst of light from the previous headlights is too scary, as if the line has been short-circuited and the headlights are about to fall off.
Even after a while, it's still terrifying.
But gradually, the same powerful symphony made people intoxicated.
Like raging waves, sudden storms.
"This melody, is this really the music we made in Huaxia ourselves, there has never been such a moment, I really feel that I am in the ocean of music, this music can be around the beam for three days. ”
Those viewers who were still a little drowsy were no more awake at this time than now, and they were all frightened.
And that's when the headlights didn't fall off.
You must know that in a real musical, this headlight will really fall.
Now the headlights have not fallen, it is completely because of financial problems, I am afraid that safety cannot be guaranteed.
Wang Yang sat down again and continued to listen to the music, but the more he listened, the deeper his brows wrinkled, and finally his brows slowly relaxed, and then he closed his eyes, and his mind was full of the melody of music.
"This music ......"
The organ plays an ascending and descending chromatic motive in a stern format, and then this motif becomes intense, and then the melody that has been majestic appears.
Eventually, it was played by strings and brass, and with the addition of the drum kit, the music took on an even more brilliant momentum.
How would you describe this overture?
Shock?
Domineering?
It doesn't seem to be enough.
Is this really the work of that kid Chen Xiao?
His previous contact with Chen Xiao only existed on the Internet, and it was not very pleasant at the time.
And he actually doesn't look down on Chen Xiao's attitude towards music, which he didn't change in his heart before coming to this art center.
But now he is beginning to reflect on himself, is he wrong?
If it weren't for his great love for music, how could he have created such shocking music?
After thinking about it, he crossed out all the previous content on the note, then turned the page and started writing the evaluation again, only this time it became a good review.
As the performance slowly progressed, Chen Xiao also began to appear.
He took a bouquet of roses and walked to the center of the stage: "Miss Dai, where is your red scarf?"
"Your Excellency?"
"You're not going to lose it again, are you? I suffered so much, I was 14 years old and soaking wet. ”
Wang Yang wrote in his notes: "The male lead actor sang decently and was not brilliant. ”
I don't know why, when Chen Xiao appeared, he still looked at this kid and was unhappy, so he wanted to write something to criticize him.
Time passed quickly, and although every actor was nervous before going on the stage, no one really waited until after the stage, but no one dragged back.
Not to mention the extraordinary performance, at least the performance should be at the level it should be.
And the plot is also progressing rapidly.
The Phantom lures the heroine with her singing voice to follow him to his crew's underground lake house, and expresses her love.
At this time, the smoke and candles on the stage also set the mood up.
After that, out of curiosity, the heroine unveiled the mask of the phantom, and the phantom was terrified, and viciously cursed the heroine's curiosity, saying that the heroine would never be set free again.
Later, I felt that the heroine might be transformed into love because of fear, so I put her back again.
Looking at the entire crew, only the role of Phantom is a graduate student appointed by Mr. Shen Di, both in singing skills and acting skills, which are more than a step higher.
The theater was in chaos, and a large number of police officers came to set up posts, but it was useless.
The Phantom takes the heroine to the basement again, and he asks the heroine why the world is so unfair to him, is it because he has a terrible face that even his mother doesn't recognize it?
"The reason why you feel that the world is unfair to you is not the fault of the world, but because you yourself have imprisoned your own soul and are enemies of the world, and you will not hesitate to kill or take the love of others in order to achieve your goals. Therefore, my feelings for you have changed from sympathy to hatred without the slightest love. ”
And the phantom let the female protagonist make a choice, whether to ask for the male protagonist's life in exchange for freedom, or to put on a wedding dress and marry him in exchange for the male protagonist's life.
In the end, the heroine chose to put on a wedding dress.
She tells the Phantom that she will tell him how great love is, and she gives the Phantom a kiss.
A meaningful kiss, like the dawn of the morning in the sky, illuminates the phantom's closed heart.
The Phantom came to his senses.
Then he left the theater forever, leaving only one mask of his own.
The musical ended, so the people involved in the performance came to the stage together to salute.
Countless spectators stood up and gave their own applause.
The applause was like a wave.
The show was a great success, and now it was a time of glory, and some people were laughing and laughing and tears were left behind.
"The Phantom of the Opera", farewell.
