Chapter 237: Foreign Stories

Everyone is worried about the rehearsal of the dance.

Xi Shi's words have already been spoken, and they are still kept secret from King Wu. If you don't come up with a surprise show. That face is not good-looking, and it will also disappoint King Wu.

But is creativity something that can be had? Xi Shi Zimei, these people are not materials for literary creation.

Fan Li let Xi Shi be pestered, and he must participate in thinking about ideas. He has traveled from the afterlife and has a wealth of experience. Suddenly, my heart moved, and I had an idea, saying, "Everyone gather here, and I'll tell you a story." ”

Everyone knew that Fan Li had a lot of ideas, so he hurriedly came around, Fan Li squinted his eyes and slowly began to tell:

Once upon a time there was a prince named Geff. Hunting with an entourage. They came to a lake and saw many snow-white swans playing in the water.

The prince exclaimed, "What a quiet and beautiful place." The prince looked at the swans and wondered in his heart.

At dusk, the swans on the lake come ashore. turned into a group of handsome girls.

One of the girls was the best-looking, and the prince came up to her: "Are you swans or people?" ”

At this question, the girls actually shed tears.

The prince shouted, "Hey, don't cry, I didn't bully you"

The girl wiped her tears and said timidly, "Who are you?" ”

"I'm Prince Geff."

The girl said, "I am Princess Lanny, and I and my maid have been cursed by the wizard Roba to become swans during the day and human beings at night,"

"Boy, you don't mind my business!" Suddenly, an owl quacked in the tree.

Lanny said, "This owl was turned into by a wizard.

With a wave of his hand, the prince fired arrows at the owl, and the owl flew away with a scream.

The prince said, "Tell me, princess." How can I break the spell? ”

The princess said shyly, "As long as you propose to me in front of everyone, the spell will be lifted,"

The prince said, "Tomorrow evening, the queen mother will choose a concubine for me." You must come, I will choose you as a concubine in front of everyone. ”

The next night, the queen pre-selected six of the most beautiful girls for the prince.

The queen smiled and said, "Your Highness, which young lady do you have your eye on?" “”

The six young ladies stood in a row, hoping that the prince would choose them.

Suddenly, a princess floated in from outside the palace gate.

"Ahh Princess Lannie, you're finally here. The prince took her by the hand and announced, "Princess Lannie is my sweetheart, princess, marry me." ”

"Prince, she's the wizard's daughter, and I'm Lanny!" A girl's voice suddenly came from the entrance of the palace gate. The prince looked at it: "Yes, you are Lanny, I remember you." ”

He pushed away the fake princess and said angrily: "Bad woman, liar! ”

Fake Lannie turned back into an evil form: "Ha! You've proposed to me, and the spell will never be lifted. ”

At this time, the wizard appeared: "Boy, your time of death has come. Roba rushed towards Prince Geff.

The prince drew his sword and came to battle.

After a fierce battle, there was a flash of lightning, and the wizard and his daughter fled in a hurry. A wizard's voice came from the air: "Boy, you must never try to unlock my curse!" ”

Lannie was so sad to hear that she could never regain her human form, and with tears in her eyes, she ran towards Swan Lake.

"Lanny, wait for me," the prince chased.

Lanny ran to the shore of Swan Lake, and the maids gathered around her and asked, "Princess, the spell is broken?" ”

The prince chased after him and said, "I'm going to kill that flat-haired brute!" ”

Lanny said, "No, the wizard is dead, and the spell can't be broken." ”

Suddenly, the call of an owl was heard from the depths of the forest. The wizard reappeared.

The owl swooped down, its sharp beak pecking at the prince.

The prince drew his sword and stabbed at the wizard, but with a strange cry, the owl fell to the ground and died.

Lanny stomped her foot: "Oh no, we'll never be able to get back into human form." ”

It then occurred to the prince that he should not kill the only wizard who could unravel the spell.

Princess Lannie was in complete despair. Run to the cliff and jump.

The prince shouted, "Princess! He then jumped off a cliff and fell into Swan Lake.

"Prince! Princess! The maid wept and bowed to Swan Lake.

The day dawned, the sun came out, and strangely enough, the maids did not change

Adult swans. They knew that it was the prince and princess who had lifted the spell with their lives. They shouted to Swan Lake together: "Prince-princess-"

Suddenly one of the maids cried out, "Look! The maids were amazed to see the prince and princess holding hands as they walked from the lake to the shore.

It turned out that it was the prince's love for Lord Lan that moved the heavens, lifted the spell, and brought them back to life.

The story is over. Everyone didn't squeak for a long time. Looking at Xi Shi again, the circles under his eyes are also red, and Luo Jiang is crying. The other girls on the dance team were also secretly wiping away tears.

The story that women are most interested in but love sounds a little weird, but it's very fresh. The innocence and infatuation of the heroes and heroines in the story deeply touched them.

Readers and friends may laugh when they see this, damn me, isn't this the story in the ballet "Swan Lake"? Haha, that's right, who says it isn't?

But what I want to say is that before Fan Li crossed, no one at the bottom of the people, including him, a grassroots officer, had ever seen ballet. The first time Fan Li saw ballet was in a Soviet film.

He consulted his mother, a high school teacher, about this, and she told him the story of Swan Lake.

This is a foreign story, and as a citizen of Greater China, Xi Shi listened to it, and it was inevitable that it would be a little strange. But the story itself really moved them.

Fan Li saw that everyone was still immersed in the story, so he smiled, "Let's talk about it, how about this story?" Isn't it exciting? ”

Xi Shi smiled with tears in his eyes: "Brother Fan Li, don't ask if it's exciting, don't you see everyone's tears and let you talk about it?" ”

Zimei smiled: "Fan Jun, what do you mean by telling this story to everyone?" ”

Fan Li said: "If you think this story is good and can move people, can we rehearse this story in the way of dance?" ”

Zimei was the first to raise her hand in approval: "Good idea, if this story is made into a dance, it must be earth-shattering and crying ghosts and gods." ”

Fan Li said: "What does Mrs. Xi Shi think? ”

Shih Tzu said, "Of course this is good, I'm thinking about how to express it." ”

Fan Li smiled, Xi Shi, as a generation of dancers, already has the impulse to create.

"But I think it's hard, we've never danced like this before," Shih Tzu said. ”

Fan Li knows that in the current Spring and Autumn Era, dance is to show the beauty of the human body, with the help of music, either soothing or warm, to express a certain emotion. Now it's time to use dance to tell a story, and the dance becomes a "drama". This was unprecedented at the time. Let people more than 2,000 years ago see the art form of later generations in advance, which is also the harvest of time.

Fan Li said: "It's definitely a bit difficult, but we all work together to do this well." He didn't want to tell everyone that this dance was best performed on tiptoe.
