Chapter 17: Playing on the spot
There is no such thing as "electricity" in the underworld, and all the lighting comes from something called "lighting crystal", so the lighting on the stage can only be controlled manually by people.
Now the stage is in darkness, either the lighting crystal is wrong or the person controlling the light is wrong.
"What's going on?" said Qin Guanyu, a drama actor who played Li Chong, in a low voice.
The actor Yu Xi, who played Fanyi, also looked panicked, she had never encountered this situation before, and she said a little overwhelmed: "The lights are out, what should I do now?"
"Don't panic. After Lin Zheng settled down, he said: "Someone must have gone to see the lights now, and it will be solved soon." ”
Fortunately, although the lights went out, the audience in the audience mistakenly thought that this was a stage effect, so they did not make a fuss, but quietly waited for the plot to continue to develop.
But this also made Lin Zheng and the three people on the stage feel the pressure!
Because the more the audience thinks this, the more Lin Zheng and them have to make this matter over, otherwise such a mistake will leave a very bad impression in the hearts of the audience.
It was just a moment, Lin Zheng paid attention in his heart, and immediately whispered to Qin Guanyu and Yu Xi, "We can't stop, if we stop, we will be exposed, and the audience will know that we have made a mistake and we have to continue acting!"
"Acting, how to acting, now it's pitch black......" Qin Guanyu said.
As time passed, the audience still seemed to begin to realize that this might not be like a stage effect, and there was still some restlessness, and the three Lin Zheng on the stage finally slowly adapted to the dark light.
Lin Zheng quietly waved his hand and said, "You hurry up and ask." ”
"What do you ask?" Qin Guanyu looked puzzled.
"Ask why the lights went out!" Lin Zheng was so angry with Qin Guanyu that he thought to himself, why is this person's brain so unenlightened!
After Lin Zhengzhi said it, Qin Guanyu finally understood, and immediately changed to Li Chong's tone, and said loudly: "Brother, why did the light go out suddenly?"
"Maybe the energy of the lighting crystal has run out, you wait, I'll go find one and replace it. Lin Zheng immediately took over the conversation.
At this time, Yu Xi on the side also understood that the two of them were delaying time for the person who turned on the lights, so he said: "Ping, this kind of thing, just leave it to the next person to do, and besides, you can't find where the lighting crystal is." ”
After Yu Xi finished speaking, he pretended to cough twice.
At the same time, above the stage, the old fish head was reprimanding the people in charge of lighting with a serious face.
"What's the matter!, why the lights are suddenly dim!" said the old fish head with a grim face.
Zhang Xingping, who was in charge of the light, was already sweating profusely, and he didn't dare to pause in the action of changing the lighting crystal in his hand, and he didn't even dare to raise his head and replied: "The energy of the lighting crystal has run out......
"Before the play began, I told you again and again that everything should be checked, why is this still happening, and how do you do it!" the old fish head reprimanded.
Zhang Xingping said with an aggrieved face: "I followed your instructions, and before the show, I checked the energy of the lighting crystal, and it was all full......
The old fish head's eyes flickered when he heard this, and he didn't know what he was thinking, "Are you sure you checked the lights before opening your eyes?"
"I'm 100% sure, I've been working under you for so many years, don't you know what kind of person I am, how dare I lie to you......"
The old fish looked at Zhang Xingping and said thoughtfully: "Don't talk about this now, you hurry up and change the wait first." ”
"It's changed, it's changed. ”
Zhang Xingping wiped the sweat from his forehead, and was about to turn on the light again, but was stopped by the old fish head, "Wait a minute." ”
"You can't turn on the lights just yet. The old fish head said.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Xingping asked.
The old fish head pointed to the stage and said: "Now the three people on the stage are pretending that the lights are broken, we have to cooperate with their performances, and only when they say that the lights have been changed can we turn on the lights." ”
Originally, after the stage fell into darkness, Lao Yutou's heart had fallen to the bottom, and he felt that this time the drama performance was estimated to be half cold, who would have thought that the three people on the stage would actually perform the drama in the dark, and it was so natural.
At the same time, Lin Zheng on the stage felt that the time should be about the same, so he said: "A little thing, rush, I remember that there is a lighting crystal in the cabinet behind you, you hand it to me, and I will replace it." ”
"Okay, brother. Qin Guanyu accompanied Lin Zheng, and immediately made a sound of rummaging through the cabinets, and then said: "Found it, brother, give it." ”
"Be careful, don't fall. Yu Xi said in a worried tone: "Otherwise, let's wait for someone to get it." ”
Lin Zheng didn't speak, but made a groping sound, then clapped his palms and said, "It's done." ”
At the moment when Lin Zheng finished speaking, the old fish head above the stage immediately said to Zhang Xingping: "It's now, turn on the lights!"
On the stage, it was finally no longer dark.
Lin Zheng quietly made a color to Qin Guanyu and motioned for Qin Guanyu to continue the performance, Qin Guanyu suddenly understood, and then Lin Zheng said, "Father didn't go out, right?"
"No, are you going to see your father?" Qin Guanyu said.
Lin Zheng nodded, "I want to talk to my father before leaving." ”
"You don't go. ”
"What is he doing?"
"He's probably talking to someone, I saw him just now, and he said he'll come over in a moment, let's wait for him here. ”
Lin Zi and Qin Guanyu were once again integrated into the drama, as if what had just happened had not happened, and the audience in the audience was also watching the drama "Heavy Rain" for the first time, and they didn't know the development of the plot, so they didn't know that the scene of changing the lighting crystal before was completely the impromptu play of a few people on stage.
After a while, Li Puyuan, the head of the Li family played by Zhou Zijing, finally appeared.
As time passed little by little, when Li Puyuan, who was experimenting with Zhou Zijing, lit a cigar, everyone on the stage knew about the performance of the first act, and the curtain came to an end.
Unlike the dramas of the yang world, the dramas of the underworld are staged one scene at a time, and they will not be all performed at one time, just like watching a serial drama, one scene is staged every day, only in this way will the audience be willing to pay for the next day's tickets.
After the actor bowed and left the stage, the audience immediately applauded, although they only watched the first act, but the profound performances of several people on the stage have completely captured the hearts of the audience, and the plot of the drama "Heavy Rain" is also very attractive!
The atmosphere backstage is in stark contrast to the enthusiasm of the audience!
As soon as Zhou Zijing arrived backstage, he looked at the person in charge of lighting with a blue face and reprimanded: "What happened just now!"
"If it weren't for a few clever people on stage, today's performance would have been ruined!"
