Chapter 124: The Goddess of Victory is Smiling!

Yang Xiong's worries are not unreasonable, you must know that Western history is different from Chinese history!

The history of 5,000 years in China can be said to be a real history of war, starting from the small fights between several tribes during the Yellow Emperor period, the scale of the war is getting bigger and bigger, and then countless dynastic changes are all based on war, and this has also formed another extremely important idea in Chinese history!

The whole world is not the king's land, and the shore of the land is not the king's unified thought!

Western history is different, Western civilization originated in ancient Greece, and what is Greece?

A small country on the Aegean Sea, founded by a city-state, known as the birthplace of freedom and democracy.

Under the influence of such thinking, in fact, the concept of the state in Western society is not strong.

In the previous life, the most important countries in the Western world were called the United States of America, Germany was the Federal Republic of Germany, and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland was the United Kingdom.

Here's an example.

Generally speaking, when it comes to the East, whether it is an Oriental or a Westerner, the first thing that comes to mind is China, and when it comes to the East, everyone invariably thinks of Britain, France, Germany and the United States.

The reason for this is that China is the representative of the Eastern civilization, and the history of no country in the entire West can be sufficient to represent this.

What's more, under the long-term nepotism of the British Empire, in fact, the entire European continent is a family, and most of the royal family and the royal family are related by blood, which can be regarded as a family.

Imagine what the people would think when even the rulers of the country felt that they were their own people?

Based on this situation, there have been so many wars on the entire European continent that only a handful of countries and royal families have been destroyed!

Even Germany, which had provoked two world wars, made such a big mistake, didn't it still save its country and live a good life?

If that doesn't say anything about that, then the EU is ironclad proof of that!

There is no second more intimate relationship in the world than the EU.

It is precisely for this reason that for the Western world, which does not have a strong sense of statehood, the history of any country in the Western world can be regarded as the history of the entire Western world.

For example, Alexander the Great, who was famous in his previous life, and Julius Caesar are heroes generally recognized by Westerners.

This is simply unthinkable in China, for example, most Han people will not think that a certain ** khan is a hero!

And Yang Xiong's conjecture is not wrong, many of the world-famous drama masters invited to the royal gatherings of the two countries are many foreigners, and these people all frowned, glanced at each other, and a thought came to their hearts after seeing that "Hamlet" was actually based on the story of the Danish prince's revenge for his father.

"If the adaptation of "Hamlet" is not in line with historical facts or is unsightly, then don't blame us for not giving face to the Chinese Empire, we will definitely spray mercilessly!"

What's more, some of the more grumpy drama masters directly sneered:

"When did a seventeen-year-old high school student dare to use Western history to adapt a Western play? If today is April Fool's Day, it will be the biggest joke of the day!"

At first, the grumpy drama master originally wanted to replace the seventeen-year-old high school student directly with an Oriental, but considering that this was the territory of the Chinese Empire, he held back after thinking about it.

Even so, the chubby and lovable master of drama received a friendly greeting from the eyes of some of the imperial theater masters around him......

Speaking of which, we have to mention the judges at the royal exchange party between the two countries, all of whom are leaders in the field of theater without exception, and after the performance of the two royal troupes, these judges vote to decide the winner, and the voting results are announced in the "China Daily" the next day.

Officially, of course, these masters spontaneously formed the judges.

Ye Chen was still a little confused when he learned about this from Xie Quan's mouth.

Thinking about it carefully, Ye Chen also understood the reason.

After all, the royal families of the two countries are under the guise of an exchange party, and it is impossible for the royal troupes of the two countries to separate the ugly ones in front of the audience of the whole world on the first day, right?

If you really want to do that, it's a bit too much!

But what if the two countries really want to divide the highs and lows?

This is easy to do, and there are still many famous theater masters in the world! In the name of the royal families of the two countries, some of them are invited to have a private exchange, presumably for the purpose of art, and these people are also happy to serve as judges.

And it is true, such a grand event, even the drama masters who are indifferent to fame and fortune will be a little moved, and if they want to have more fame, they will naturally not refuse the opportunity to appear in front of audiences all over the world, even if some people with noble morals want to take the opportunity to discuss and exchange with these peers.

In short, the two sides hit it off.

For example, the current Ye Chen is sitting in the middle of a group of drama masters......

This is going to change the usual, maybe Ye Chen is still a little excited, after all, even for Ye Chen, who is a human being in two lives, he has the same psychology as ordinary people, and he feels that the general compulsion to engage in art is relatively high, and the master is not to mention much.

But now it was a pile of masters sitting beside Ye Chen!

Of course, it would be nice if these people weren't criticizing Ye Chen's unknowingly thick adaptation.

Listening to these discussions in his ears, Ye Chen felt a little unhappy in his heart.

But soon, as the plot of "Hamlet" gradually unfolded, the attention of everyone in the audience was gradually attracted.

Stage.

The plot of "Hamlet" is getting better, and the death of his father and the subsequent union of Hamlet's mother and father's younger brother leave Hamlet in pain.

Immediately afterwards, the ghost reveals to Hamlet the truth about the murder of the prince's father, and the prince also learns of the palace conspiracy, which makes Hamlet, who is already in pain, even more depressed.

And the tragic meaning of "Hamlet" as one of Shakespeare's four great tragedies is slowly beginning to manifest.

The audience was also attracted by the story of "Hamlet", and while everyone sympathized with the same "sad" prince, they couldn't help but wonder how the prince would avenge his father and treat his mother.

Even many people involuntarily compared the two princes who were equally "sad" in the two dramas.

Obviously, whether it is the responsibility he bears, or the tragic degree of fate, and the sinister living environment, Hamlet is undoubtedly more tragic.

Unconsciously, the audience's inner attitude gradually shifted, from the previous sympathy for the Teutonic prince to Hamlet, the Danish prince.

Relatively speaking, this Danish prince is the real prince of sorrow.

The audience under the stage held their breath and the entire theater seemed extraordinarily quiet, except for the occasional sound of flashing lights to indicate that a global broadcast was taking place.

And the drama masters around Ye Chen were also silent at this time, all of them were watching the performance attentively.

There is no doubt that the judges were impressed by the stunning opening of "Hamlet", which gives the protagonist such a dangerous situation and a heavy mission of revenge, in addition to the combination of the protagonist's mother and the protagonist's uncle who killed the protagonist's father, all of which show the complexity of this play.

And the ghost plot that follows is undoubtedly very appetizing to Westerners.

Judging from the professional eyes of many judges, just the opening scene reveals the profound creative skills of the script screenwriter everywhere!

The judges also had to admit that this seventeen-year-old genius boy had a good grasp of the essence of Western drama, and at the very least, the adaptation of "Hamlet" made it impossible for anyone to find fault with it even from the most demanding eyes.

Seeing that these drama masters who were originally condemning themselves were all speechless in shock at the moment, Ye Chen's heart was very happy at the moment!

But......

Do you think that Hamlet, Shakespeare's most classic tragedy, is just a stunning beginning?

Wrong!

Miss by a mile!

And that's just the beginning!

Next, Hamlet will show you what a real tragedy is.

Tragedy all the way to the end!

Thinking of the shocked jaws of these drama masters behind him later, Ye Chen's horns couldn't help but show a smile.

Ye Chen seemed to see the goddess of victory smiling at him...... (To be continued.) )
