Chapter 123: The Fatal Weakness
I have to say that the development of things is really beyond Ye Chen's expectations!
Xie Quan's eyes widened in surprise!
"I didn't expect it to be such an open-ended ending, no wonder I can't play it. Ye Chen couldn't laugh or cry.
"City will play"
Thinking so in my heart, I also had a faint appreciation for the Teutonic prince in my heart.
If nothing else, this courage alone is not something that ordinary people can have.
However, Ye Chen was also curious about how Anna would respond.
I saw that Anna's expression was still indifferent, as if nothing had happened.
After a while.
The Teutonic prince on the stage kept his eyes on Anna, and when he saw that Anna had no intention of going on stage, his disappointment was overflowing, and he looked depressed.
At the same time, countless viewers sitting by the TV also sighed regretfully.
In all fairness, everyone is happy to see the story of the prince and Cinderella having a lover and finally becoming married.
The Queen of England in the audience was still very angry about the Teutonian prince's public confession again, after all, this time is different from the previous two years, and now it is the world's media live broadcast, and the impact will only be greater, and she is thinking about how to punish the Teutonic prince after returning home, so as to prevent this kind of thing from happening in the future.
But at this time, seeing the Teutung prince's dejected face, the anger in his heart had already dissipated, and he was even a little dissatisfied with Anna.
In addition to the Queen of England, the rest of the audience is also very sympathetic to the slightly sad Teutonic prince at the moment, although Anna did not say no, but sometimes not refusing does not mean acquiescence, on the contrary, it may just be a refusal!
In any case, the play performed by the Teutonic prince left a deep impression on everyone, whether it was the gimmick of the adaptation, the amazing performance of the actors, or the unexpected ending in the end.
And the scene where the Teutonic prince was rejected by Anna in the end earned enough sympathy points.
Ye Chen even maliciously thought, could the Teutonic prince do it on purpose?
At this moment, Xie Quan's heart is also very heavy, after such a fuss from the Teutonic prince, no matter what, at least it has left an extremely deep impression in everyone's hearts.
However, in this way, the pressure on the performance of his own troupe will be even greater later.
Fortunately, at this time, the members of the troupe should not be aware of what happened just now, at least, their mentality will not be affected.
Xie Quan was very worried in his heart, but Ye Chen on the side was not very worried.
It is true that the play written and performed by the Teutonic prince is already excellent in terms of performance!
But!
The play written and acted by the Teutonic prince has a fatal flaw, or rather, a fatal flaw compared to Hamlet!
That is the storytelling of the drama itself and the connotation of the drama!
From these two points, "A Different Romance" is far inferior to "Hamlet"!
After all, Hamlet, as Shakespeare's most mature and artistically valuable work, is also the most confusing, or philosophical. Among them, such as the father was killed by the evil uncle, the throne was usurped, the queen mother and the murderer were promiscuous, incestuous and married, and the prince tried revenge and pretended to be crazy and stupid.
As far as the connotation of the two dramas is concerned, the "Different Romance" written and acted by the Teutonic prince is all about the twists and turns suffered by the Teutonic prince on the road to finding true love, and there is also a connotation, after all, love is an eternal topic for human beings!
But "Hamlet" is different, love is only a small part of it at best, from the "times are dislocated, it's really bad, I was born to straighten it over" this rhetoric, to "to live or to destroy, this is a question worth considering" The whole psychological background of the desperate sigh, the description of the protagonist's complex personality and psychological activities in "Hamlet" is extremely brilliant, and it gives "Hamlet" philosophical significance.
Judging from these points, Ye Chen is still very confident in "Hamlet".
Ye Chen's only worry is that after the extremely "pathetic" performance of the Teutonic prince, the audience will unconsciously prefer "A Different Romance" in their hearts, after all, the audience's vision of the drama is not professional, and this situation is extremely likely!
Just when Ye Chen was thinking wildly, soon, the members of the Imperial Royal Troupe also appeared!
The curtain slowly opened, and it officially announced the official debut of Shakespeare's classic plays in this world!
Act I.
Francisco stood on the stage and watched. Bonardo from the other side. Bonado ~ Who's over there?
……
The play begins with a dialogue between a soldier and an officer, and it is only here that the people do not see anything, and it is not until the second act that the people see some clues.
……
Kings, queens, Hamlets, Polonius, Leotis, Voldimander, Kaunelius, courtiers, squires, etc. King~ Although our dear brother Hamlet has not been mourned for a long time, our hearts should be filled with sorrow, and our whole nation should express unanimous mourning, but we are daunted by the great responsibility of the deceased, and we must not be rebellious, on the one hand, we must remember him with modest sorrow, and on the other hand, we must also think of our own interests. So, in a mood of joy and sorrow, let happiness and melancholy occupy my eyes, the funeral elegy and the wedding music play at the same time, the great joy offsets the heavy misfortune, and I am married to my old eldest sister-in-law, to the queen of the present, to the common ruler of this troubled country!
When you see this, maybe the people of the empire don't quite understand what story is being told, but some viewers who are familiar with Western history have already seen it.
This familiar scene is undoubtedly the story of the Danish prince avenging his father.
The audience who knew the inside story gasped in their hearts, everyone already knew that "Hamlet" was a script written by a seventeen-year-old genius boy, but they didn't expect this genius boy to be so bold to make up the story of the extremely famous Danish prince in Western history to avenge his father!
This includes Yang Xiong.
As the emperor of the Chinese Empire, Yang Xiong received the most top-notch and comprehensive education since he was a child, and he is naturally very familiar with the classic story of the Danish prince avenging his father in the West.
Moreover, as early as the previous uproar of the seventeen-year-old genius boy incident, Yang Xiong had already learned that the script was written by a seventeen-year-old high school student.
How confident is it that a native of China dares to adapt a famous Western historical story that he is not familiar with into a play and compete with the Royal Theatre Company of the British Empire at a royal exchange gathering between the two countries?
"However, it is not easy to impress Westerners in front of them with a drama adapted from a classic Western history!"
Yang Xiong thought meaningfully, and he also had a little interest in this genius boy in his heart. (To be continued.) )
