Chapter 13: The One-Man Show
The soundtrack of the dance drama is a modified version of "Rukia di Lammermore", and the perfect singing voice of the soprano is intoxicating.
When the feathered dancers rush up from the side of the stage, the laser lights suddenly shine. Pan Dongdong shuttles between light and shadow like a real angel, her long hair is like a waterfall, freedom and joy are reflected to the greatest extent in her dancing, and every jump seems to be flying in the clouds.
As the music fades into a dull and pre-storm silence passes, the drumbeats begin to vibrate strongly.
A group of demonic backing dancers came to the venue, dispersed the previous dancers, and surrounded Pan Dongdong, revealing his hideous appearance. As the drumbeat became more intense and the soprano rose higher and higher, Pan Dongdong finally broke free from the demon's encirclement, but the wings behind him had become pitch black.
Her makeup has also changed completely, with black eyeshadow and interlaced facial lines revealing a bevelous beauty. At this moment, the angel has fallen and is controlled by the forces of evil, the music changes abruptly, and her dancing posture has changed from soft to unrestrained and intense.
The dance drama is divided into three chapters - Eden, Fall, and Nirvana.
In the chapter "Fall", Pan Dongdong has never found the best performance entry point. She has been taught very strictly since she was a child, and she has long been accustomed to walking in accordance with the rules on the route drawn by her parents, and never dares to deviate at all. It is undoubtedly a huge problem to show the inner transformation of the angels after the fall through body language now.
"Remember, the Fall is only a faΓ§ade. The real you are still resisting temptation, screaming silently, angry and terrified, not knowing what will happen to you in the next second. The professional dance teacher who was invited to bring in said so.
"What should I do?" At this moment, Pan Dongdong was still very confused, but he saw that his usual good table mates took advantage of the change of position of the dancing crowd, and rushed to him with an encouraging smile, and said silently with his mouth: "Come on!" β
Pan Dongdong suddenly remembered Chen Mo, who made her hate her. When I was in the water room, wasn't my mood exactly what the dance teacher requested?
Before she knew it, she seemed to be back in the steaming space, full of attacks due to the horror in her heart, and for the first time in her life, she was doing something to someone. A girl's ** was almost unreserved at that moment, she wanted to scream, but was stopped by the pride in her bones, and the moment she was in close contact with him, the strangeness she had never felt like a red-hot needle piercing her soul.
Everything is as it was yesterday.
Pan Dongdong bit his lower lip tightly, and after three sharp spins in a row, he then jumped high and split in the air. The rousing soundtrack is like an iceberg revealing its increasingly behemoth beneath the ocean, and the demons on the stage gradually can't restrain the fallen angels, and when the flames suddenly burst out on the background screen, they finally run out of strength and all fall to the ground.
Only a slender figure was left in the shadow rift, dancing alone in the flames. Her unparalleled explosiveness made her an immortal bird that stretched her feathers, burning everything, and even making it impossible to look at in an instant.
When the flowery soprano reaches incredible heights, the music comes to an abrupt halt and the whole theater shines brightly. Pan Dongdong, whose chest was rapidly undulating, stood alone, her posture was exactly the same as at the beginning, and when she slowly raised her head, her restored white wings spread out behind her, flying like snow.
The audience was so quiet that you could hear a pin dropping, and after a long time, thunderous applause suddenly erupted.
It was only at this time that Chen Mo really discovered how beautiful Pan Dongdong was.
"It's about an hour before you go, so let's go backstage and get ready! By the way, practice exercises, warm up. Old Tang bent over and whispered to Chen Mo.
Chen Mo let out an "oh", picked up his backpack, and followed the head teacher up the aisle, and many teachers along the way cast their eyes at the old and young with different expressions. At the same time, Liang Min also got up from the back seat and walked to the bathroom with the other two.
When he met Pan Dongdong in the dressing room, Chen Mo was a little at a loss.
One is because I'm embarrassed, after all, I've done ugly things; The second is that the aftershocks that slammed just now are still there, and they have not calmed down until now.
Pan Dongdong's white dance dress is tight-fitted, and the key parts outlined on the slender figure are enough to make people bleed for a long time. She didn't have any expression on her face, she walked quickly in this direction as if facing a transparent person, and as she passed by, Chen Mo smelled a faint fragrance.
In the water room, he remembers feeling the same taste.
The giant light stand on the ceiling shook at this time, suddenly loosened, and smashed down on Chen Mo and Pan Dongdong. Chen Mo raised his head completely subconsciously, and when he saw that it was too late to dodge, he took Pan Dongdong in his arms and blocked the lampstand with his right arm.
With a "bang", the lamp burst open, and debris flew away. Pan Dongdong originally thought that Chen Mo's perverted maniac's real surname had started to attack again, but at this moment, he saw that dozens of catties of lamp stands flew out of the distance, and Chen Mo was bleeding all over his face, and he couldn't even open his eyes, so he couldn't help but be stunned.
"Are you alright?" Chen Mo covered his eyes and asked.
Pan Dongdong stepped forward to help him see the wound, but when he touched the other party's palm, it was as if he had been hit by electricity, and his whole body trembled.
Old Tang hurriedly called a few students and helped Chen Mo to the hospital. Pan Dongdong stood in place in a daze, looking at the lamp tube and the blood stains all over the ground, and after a long time of distraction, he put on his coat and chased out.
"Dongdong, Dongdong, where are you going!" The frightened tablemate was screaming, but Pan Dongdong didn't even look back.
"Look at what you've done!" As soon as he climbed out of the ceiling, Liang Min didn't have time to pat the dust on his body, so he shouted at his companion in a low voice, "You almost hit Pan Dongdong, do you know?" Are you blind? β
"The angle above is not good, you can only see the bottom of your feet. I saw that kid's hand before he let go, where did I think that Pan Dongdong would suddenly come out...... "The companion looked very aggrieved.
"Fuck!" Liang Min was full of anger and had nowhere to vent, so he scolded viciously.
Pan Dongdong's dance was even more successful than expected, and Liang Min was originally very proud and felt that he had extra face. Only this show, he informed the theater to use the top sound engineers and lighting engineers, and the effect was really great, he was a little stunned, and he couldn't wait to rush to the stage and hold the little beauty that would belong to him sooner or later in his arms.
The hands and feet of the light stand have already been moved, and Liang Min originally wanted to appear in the dressing room at the same time, and the attendant could hang a bouquet of roses from it - he likes to create this kind of little surprise, a little romance.
It is very important to let the old man charter the theater, Liang Min has always been paving, and today it is finally the first moment, no matter how cold Pan Dongdong is, it is estimated that he will not be able to withstand such a series of offensives. Now in order to breathe a sigh of relief, he temporarily used the surprise on Chen Mo, but Pan Dongdong was almost injured by mistake.
Isn't this a chance to save the beauty of that kid for nothing? Pan Dongdong chased him out so nervously, was it because he was grateful to him, or was it simply sympathy, or was it for some other reason?
Liang Min spun in circles like a trapped beast, his mind in chaos.
"Don't worry about what the poor bastard can compare to you." The companion saw something and persuaded him.
"You're right, he deserves to be compared to me?" Liang Min raised his head suddenly, his face gloomy, "There are too many toads that want to eat swan meat, and it's disgusting enough to keep bouncing in front of your eyes." You go to the hospital and keep an eye on it, it's not over today! β
Liang Min didn't expect that it didn't take long for Chen Mo to come back from the hospital.
The glass shards did not cut the eyeball, but the corners of the orbit and eye were still seriously injured, high and swollen, and stitches were required in two or three places after debridement. Seeing that the gauze was not good, the doctor wrapped Chen Mo's head around and blindfolded his eyes, and instructed him to remove the gauze only when the stitches were removed, so as not to cause infection.
The hospital is not far away, and after being helped back to the Grand Theater by his classmates, Chen Mo suddenly smiled, "Teacher Tang, I still want to continue on the show." β
"What? No, no, you look like this, you have to go back and rest quickly. Old Tang was taken aback.
"Mr. Tang, you told me that there is nothing impossible in the world. Our class finally had this opportunity, so you just let me go. Chen Mo's tone was very calm, and he couldn't hear any recklessness.
Old Tang hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded, "Okay, the teacher is watching you in the background, if there is anything wrong, I will take you down immediately." β
"We are also with you in the background, in case you fall, it is convenient to lift a few more hands!" Wang Wei and others shouted.
"Fatty, you've got to do me a favor." Chen Mo said.
A few minutes later, the host announced Chen Mo's name and the program he was about to perform, the puppet show "Road".
When Chen Mo, whose eyes were blindfolded with white gauze, came on the stage, the entire Grand Theater was silent. The leaders in the VIP table exchanged puzzled glances with each other, and Principal Li opened his mouth wide, but he couldn't make any explanation. He had no idea how this student, who was almost blind, got on stage and what he wanted to do.
Is it a special way of acting? Principal Li could only find this reason to comfort himself.
"Ah Jing, isn't that Brother Chen Mo, what's wrong with him?" Bai Xiaoran, who was sitting in the stands on the second floor, his face changed, the junior high school students were far more noisy when they watched the show than the high school side, but at this moment there was silence around them.
"I don't know." Chen Jing had been paying attention to his brother's location, but when he saw that he went backstage, he became like this, and his eyes were slightly red in a hurry.
Chen Mo was accompanied by the fat man, walked from the left side of the stage to the right side, counted how many steps he had to complete in total, and then asked the fat man how many positions he had, and he had a rough idea in his heart.
After the lights dimmed, the fat man went down, and Chen Mo was the only one left on the stage.
"Get down, what's so nice about a blind man touching an elephant!" A shout came from the location of the third class of high school, and the voice sounded like the guy next to Liang Min who had troubled Chen Mo.
"Shut up!" Shao Datou jumped up, and every pimple on his face turned purple.
"Are you such a bully? If you don't fight, you won't be happy, right? Come on! Lao Tzu is with you! Ma Laobian simply stood on the chair, these two guys are very similar to Chen Mo in terms of surname, they usually endure things when they encounter them, but they will transform into outright mad dogs when they are forced to a certain extent.
"Which bastard is so cheap, why don't you get out!" Bai Xiaoran's scolding caused the junior high school boys to scream.
"Please restrain the classmates." Principal Li had no choice but to pick up the microphone, and then smiled awkwardly at the leaders around him, "Young people are impulsive, and when it comes to class honor, they even forget about discipline for the time being." β
"I can understand that they all came from this age." The middle-aged leader known as the money bureau was relieved.
King Luo Yan got up vigorously and walked around the audience a few times, and quickly calmed the scene. Chen Mo on the stage stood for a moment and took out a marionette from his backpack. The puppet had a clown face painted on it, had an exaggerated red nose, and with a slight shake of it, it stood on the ground.
The stage was dark, except for a white pillar of light that hit the clown. It looked left and right, and seemed to be afraid of the dark, and did not dare to move in place.
"Walking the dog?" Liang Min spoke coldly, causing several classmates around him to chuckle.
"Though you have gone to the forest at night and lost your way, though you are very helpless now; Although fate blindfolded you, you feel that there is no road ahead at all......" The background music slowly sounded, one of Chen Mo's favorite songs.
At the same time, the other side of the stage lit up. The orange lights reflected the area, warm and quiet, as if there was light on the other side. The clown was attracted by that side, but there was a large area of darkness in front of him, and he hesitated for a long time, and raised his steps, but was shackled by the thread.
The clown raised his arm, touched the thread attached to it, looked at his legs and feet again, and finally raised his head and looked at Chen Mo quietly. The corners of its mouth are obviously curved upward, but at this moment, it looks extremely sad.
There was a soft cry from the audience, some unbearable and some puzzled.
"One step is your way, a path shining in the darkness; Even though Satan has been dancing around you, even though he has been telling you to throw in the towel......" The roaring song seemed to give the clown courage, and he bent down to untie the thread on his right leg.
The thread that was originally tight and connected it to Chen Mo's palm suddenly softened and fell to the ground.
The audience screamed, and Principal Li even stood up his hair, feeling that what he saw was not a puppet, but a life with reading thoughts.
After struggling for a long time, the clown finally stood on his right leg, which was no longer controlled, and dragged his body to move a few steps with difficulty towards the light. The pillar of light followed it, and the darkness around it was like a tide, ready to sweep it over at any moment, crushing it to pieces.
The singing continued, but the clown suddenly stopped moving.
It seemed to be thinking about its own situation, and took one last look at Chen Mo, untied all the threads it could untie from head to toe, and then collapsed like a mud figure doused with water.
There was a deathly silence.
"It's almost over." Chen Mo thought in his heart. The 16 threads have all fallen off, and there are only two transparent dark threads left in his hand, and the whole puppet show has reached the most critical time.
Old Tang taught him that novices might as well replace each longitudinal step with numbers, 1 step is 1, 2 hand lift, and so on. After taking the stage, Chen Mo found that he didn't need to recite those numbers, although his eyes couldn't see, but at this moment his hands were "alive".
The Ares robot guides every rotation of the palm and every movement of the fingertips with a full replication accurate to the millisecond. Even if Chen Mo's eyes were not injured, it would be impossible to indulge the puppet better. In the process of work, the subtle current emitted by the Ares robot in the body made Chen Mo involuntarily feel that the gloves that had already spontaneously combusted to ashes were back.
When the clown lifted the cloth hat that stood in front of him and stood up tremblingly, a girl in the audience suddenly howled.
In the constant cheering and shouting, the clown dragged his steps towards the light little by little, staggering but determined. When it finally reaches the end, raise its head, spread its hands to feel the warmth, and the song is entering the end: "Don't think that this is the broken line and no road, the shining road is in your footsteps; One step is your way, and no one can stand in my way. β
Chen Mo slowly loosened the last dark line, and sat side by side with the clown in the light, in the same legging posture, the corners of his mouth raised.
The landslide and tsunami-like cheers and applause swept through the Yancheng Grand Theater, and all the officials of the Education Bureau in the VIP seats gave a standing ovation, the Money Bureau applauded repeatedly, and Principal Li's face was full of red light on the side.
was quietly held by that soft palm, and when he was led down the stage, Chen Mo heard that more than a thousand students were all like crazy, the boys were whistling, and the girls were screaming.
"Is that her?" Smelling the faint fragrance that was quite familiar, Chen Mo's mouth suddenly became dry, and his heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a sledgehammer.
At the same time, no one around Liang Min dared to look at his face anymore.
