Chapter 134: The Vitality of Drama

It was late in May when it was dark.

At seven o'clock in the evening, as soon as it got dark, Guangdong was immediately lit up.

Inside and outside the Fresh Culture Theater, it is once again lively, and Bai Luofei's version of "Romeo and Juliet" will be staged here again tonight.

Although the troupe has not left Guangdong for more than ten days of performances, it has not always been in this fresh theater. In other states and counties, the Fresh Culture Company also has theaters, and their troupes naturally have to meet the needs of the masses and tour in various districts and counties.

Since "Romeo and Juliet" was staged at the Fresh Theater, it has been seven consecutive days, three performances a day, and it can almost be said that it is difficult to find a ticket for the first three or five days, but since a week, the audience has decreased a lot, and the attendance rate of the first and third non-prime time shows has fallen below 50%.

In order not to make everyone aesthetically fatigued, the fresh culture company decided to let this troupe transfer the battlefield to the theaters in major counties and districts to tour, although these theaters are relatively small, but because Guangdong is big enough, many people only heard that this play is very popular, but they have no time to watch it.

Now as soon as the tour is performed, it is naturally very popular. For four or five days, I toured several counties and districts, and returned to the Qingxin Grand Theater again.

After a few days of leaving, with the fermentation of the word-of-mouth of "Romeo and Juliet", people who had not had the opportunity to watch it before now heard that it was being staged twice in the theater in the center of the city, and they all rushed over again.

Looking at the expectant expressions on the faces of the people who entered the theater one after another, Su Wen, who was standing next to the gate of the theater and waiting, smiled, from the faces of these people, he saw enjoyment and success.

And only at this moment. It was only then that he realized that he had succeeded, and that Romeo and Juliet had succeededβ€”and that the charm of the classic had not been lost just because the world was different.

"Hey, Lao Li, why are you again! Haven't you seen this play? Suddenly, a man in his thirties in the crowd called out to an acquaintance in the distance.

Lao Li looked over. also shouted: "Brother Wang, it's you!" Come to see Concubine Bai Luo again? ”

"That's it! She's my idol! I have to cheer for her drama! It's you, I remember that you didn't like Concubine Bai Luo before! You say, how many times have you been here? ”

Lao Li smiled and said: "I don't worship Bai Luofei, but I like "Romeo and Juliet"!" Not much, it's just the third time. ”

"Three times you can't scream! It's all up to me as a die-hard fan! ”

Lao Li smiled and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let's go in quickly." It didn't take long to get started. ”

"Uh-huh! Go together, go together! We're going to have a good nagging tonight. ”

"Dude, I want to watch a show, I don't have time to nag!"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The two entered the theater one after another, completely ignoring the strange gaze of the person next to them, but some of them looked calm, as if they were accustomed to the situation.

The more Su Wen watched it, the more satisfied he became, and the more people liked "Romeo and Juliet", the more successful he was!

I saw everyone rushing to the theater. Su Wen looked at the time and suddenly became anxious. Looking at the street opposite, he was anxious: "The proof is not here yet?" Didn't you make an appointment with me? Are all beautiful women used to being late? ”

It was Gao Bing who could make him anxiously wait.

This woman and Tang Ya came to his house this morning and asked Su Wen to write a play for her, although Li Xiuying was obstructed on the way, but in the end Su Wen was persuaded by Gao Bing and was ready to make another play. Fight in the ring with Romeo and Juliet and compete against yourself!

When he wanted to ask Gao Bing what type of role he wanted, the tall beauty said that she was not in a hurry, and asked Su Wen if she had time, saying that she was going to ask him out tonight!

What about?

Dating appointment!

A big flower girl asked Su Wen if he had time. Can he refuse to make an appointment?

In addition to surprise, it is still surprise.

Fortunately, Gao Bing later explained that he wanted to ask Su Wen to watch a performance of "Romeo and Juliet" performed by Bai Luofei tonight, because she was different from Bai Luofei, and she wanted Su Wen to deeply understand what was going on with Juliet played by Bai Luofei, and then he could consciously write dramas with different character traits.

The beauty took the initiative to invite, Su Wen agreed, agreed on the time and place, and then sent Gao Bing and Tang Ya away, and dealt with Li Xiuying, who was in an uncomfortable mood, and half a day passed.

After waiting for a long time, and finally waiting for the evening, Su Wen arrived at the scene early, but unfortunately he had not waited for Gao Bing's trace.

Seeing that it was about to be the opening time of half past seven, Gao Bing still didn't come, and Su Wen was a little angry: "This woman, you won't let me go of pigeons, right?" Are you really afraid that I will use the work as a threat to uncover her rules, so I don't dare to come? Damn, is my brother like that? Is it okay for my brother to be a decent man and a gentleman...... At most, I dare to think about it, and I never actually take action! ”

It seems that Su Wen is also self-aware, he is the kind of person who has a lustful heart and no lustful guts.

It's half past seven in two or three minutes, and Gao Bing hasn't been found yet, and there is no trace of her in the distance, so it seems that she won't come.

Although Su Wen was angry and angry, he had already arrived here, and there was no need to turn back, so he planned to watch a play of Concubine Bai Luo by himself.

Having said that, it has been a few days since he returned to Guangdong, and he only knows that "Romeo and Juliet" is very popular, whether it is newspapers and publications, or online forums, there are comments on this play, and it is a mess. However, he hadn't seen it yet.

It's really a bit unreasonable, it's so funny that I didn't even have a chance to look at the work I wrote.

"Then let's watch it, just to see the stage effect of Bai Luofei's interpretation of Juliet!" Su Wen shook his head, turned around and walked into the theater.

As soon as he arrived at the door, suddenly, a figure hurriedly rushed up from inside, and as soon as he saw Su Wen, he immediately ran over and shouted: "Mr. Su Wen, why haven't you come in, I've been waiting for you for a long time!" ”

This is a woman, her hair hanging down, covering half of her face, and wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, she looks like a dirt girl, but her voice is so familiar.

Looking at it, Su Wen was stunned: "Gao Bing? ”

"Who else could it be if it wasn't me!" Gao Bing impatiently pulled Su Wen to the theater.

"How do you ......"

"What if I don't wear makeup and be recognized?" Gao Bing explained as he walked, "I have already arrived here, I went in to say hello to Sister Bai, and I was waiting for you inside, but I didn't see you come in, so I could only run out to take a look." ”

Su Wen smiled bitterly when he heard this. This misunderstanding was big, knowing that Gao Bing didn't release his pigeons, he was a little happy in his heart, and the anger just now dissipated without a trace.

The two entered the theater, which was crowded and noisy. The seats were full, and it looked like a full house again.

Gao Bing looked at Su Wen observing the audience at the scene and said, "How is it, do you know how popular your drama is?" ”

Su Wen smiled: "Many people came to see Concubine Bai Luo. ”

Gao Bing was stunned for a moment, and also said, "This is not wrong. With that, he took Su Wen to the front row, and found two seats under the stage to sit down.

The two of them sat still, with a good view and could see almost anything on the stage. The actors' movements and expressions on it can be swept into the eye one by one.

As soon as Su Wen sat down, Gao Bing immediately said again: "Mr. Su, do you know how expensive the seat you are sitting on now is?" It is said that it has been fried to one or two hundred Chinese yuan, and there is still no market, this is because this play has been performed for more than ten days, and it is said that in the first few days, the price was even higher! If it weren't for Mr. Li to leave us these two seats. It's almost impossible to get one. ”

Su Wen shrugged: "No matter how good it sells." It's other companies that make money, we little literati are all hard-working people, others eat meat, it's good to give us a sip of soup to drink. ”

Gao Bingbai glanced at him, feeling that this girl was hypocritical. If she was cheap and behaved, if she hadn't asked him, she would have spit on him a long time ago!

As soon as the two sat down and didn't say a few words, the performance began.

There was nothing surprising about this play for Su Wen. The plot and most of the lines follow his text, but in order to highlight the stage effect, there must be appropriate changes, some characters are simplified, and some lines are cut.

In the first scene, the Luo family's parents say a few words, which leads to Romeo.

The young man who played the role of Romeo was very handsome, especially after putting on makeup, he could be said to be extremely handsome, and the costume was also very gorgeous, as Gao Ya said, in order to sell peripheral products, his saber was extremely eye-catching.

As soon as he came on stage, there was a cheer below, Su Wen listened carefully, and more women were shouting. This is normal, in this play, Romeo is the symbol of the perfect man, a model of the male protagonist in a romantic drama, for the sake of love, he can do everything, including giving his life.

Such a character setting is the most likable to women, and even men can't help but fantasize that they can become Romeo.

More than ten minutes after the plot progressed, Romeo attended the Zhu family's party, and Juliet appeared!

Su Wen saw Concubine Bai Luo's official Juliet performance for the first time!

To be honest, Concubine Bai Luo, dressed in a white dress, just standing there, is the pure and kind Juliet. Her movements, her movements, her voice, are all alive and beyond.

The two went from acquaintance to love, and then the exciting plot developed. In the end, the two died one after another, and Su Wen didn't feel anything, but he heard the sound of crying from the scene.

At first glance, many people around me were wiping their tears! Looking at Gao Bing again, he also looked sad.

"So exaggerated?" Su Wen was taken aback, to be honest, he didn't have much other feelings besides being amazed, "Is it because I'm too ruthless?" ”

Su Wen denied such speculation, and watched as Juliet fell on Romeo performed by Concubine Bailuo, and the nearly two-hour stage play came to an end.

Su Wen was not interested in listening to the dialogue in the back.

He frowned slightly, feeling that something was not quite right, the people above acted very well, they were all very devoted, whether it was their movements, expressions and movements, they were very skillful, and there was nothing jerky.

Even so, Su Wen still felt that it was not appropriate, and always felt that there was something wrong with these people's interpretations, but what was wrong in the end, and he couldn't say why.

"Mr. Su, what's wrong with you?" Gao Bing noticed Su Wen's abnormality.

Su Wen expressed his doubts.

Gao Bing smiled: "What's so strange about this. They performed this play for more than ten days, three times a day, the same lines, the same actions, repeated countless times, and everyone was tired of it. If it weren't for their good professional quality, it is estimated that they would be able to show their expressions. ”

"Is it all like that?" Su Wen was stunned and confused.

"Nonsense, you say it hundreds of times!" Gao Bing glanced at him.

"There's less passion." Su Wen sighed.

Gao Bing said helplessly: "They are already good, this is still thanks to you, this play has tension and vitality." You don't know other writers...... Alas, don't say it! Not all works can make people act passionately, that requires the character to have an impulse to let people out, and the character setting needs to have a vitality! ”

"Get out? Vitality ......" A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in Su Wen's mind, he suddenly looked at Gao Bing's eyes, and said, "I seem to know what kind of script I want to write for you!" (To be continued......)
