Chapter 417: Symphony? Can you still see it? A show that's bound to be a sensation!
It's December 23, 1872, Christmas is coming soon, and the people of the American Empire are preparing for the holidays.
The empire is still relatively enlightened, and for holidays like Christmas, it has not been canceled because of the Chinese, or the festive atmosphere has been reduced. It's just that some clergy complain a lot, because the empire has a strict law on religion, that is, you can't force others to believe, and this can't be forced, and sometimes there will be a lot of explanations...... This made the priest feel a little constrained.
Well, these things are not the point, the empire is very good now, all kinds of construction, all kinds of development, most people have jobs, of course, there is construction and development, then there will inevitably be some chaos...... Let's put these things aside for a while, the festival is coming.
"Comrades, please keep order!"
"Comrades who watched the show! Please wait. β
"Oh! Look! β
"He's coming! Ha ha! β
Imperial New York, this city is still the largest city in the empire, and it is estimated that it will be bigger, but there is a big event to happen today, that is, in the center of Manhattan Island in New York, there is a theater called Broadway, which will welcome an important guest, that is, the emperor of the empire, Li Mengyang!
Why did the Emperor come? And why come to this place? And this is a theater, right?
Obviously, the emperor is coming, I'm afraid it has something to do with the theater, maybe it's because it's Christmas, so it's not necessary for him to come to see a play, the emperor is also a human being, and ......
"Wow! Look! It's His Majesty the Emperor! β
"Your Majesty!"
βALL-HAIL-LEEοΌβ
The entrance to a Broadway theater. It can really be described as a sea of people, not only is there a radio there to remind everyone to maintain order, but there are also a lot of reporters, when everyone sees the emperor appear, then what order is a little unkept!
"Please calm down! Calm down! "Fortunately, since the emperor is here. The security work naturally has to be done properly, so many people have been there for a long time, and they are blocking the surging waves.
"Oh, look! That's His Majesty's concubines! β
"Oh! Beautiful Yellow Queen! β
"Oh my God, it's Princess Fiona! Her beauty is unmatched! β
"Nope! I like Princess Eleanor even more, she is a real beauty, and her smile is so intoxicating! β
"Who said that! Yelena is the beauty! She has a mature intellectual beauty that is impossible to refuse! β
"Alright gentlemen, if you need a duel, find an empty field, it's too crowded!"
Emperor Li Mengyang is a little better. But when the emperor's four wives appeared, it was simply a big thing for the security guards!
I heard that some people have fought before because of the argument about which of His Majesty's concubines is more beautiful, and the injuries are quite serious, and they have been criticized by many people, saying that such comments are immoral...... That's right, you said that you are old and other people's wives, is this like words? β¦β¦ However, such controversies have not diminished. On the contrary, it is more intense.
Okay, let's talk about human rights here. It's always okay to say that it's always okay, but you can't be accused of anything.
It can be said that this time back to Broadway in New York, it is simply over-specified, the emperor's family except for the children came, and they were all dressed up to attend. For example, Li Mengyang is his emperor military uniform that combines Chinese and Western, but this time it has changed a little, that is, some tassels have been added, which looks more gorgeous, and several concubines. They are all wearing Victorian-style dresses, which are very graceful and luxurious, but the patterns on them represent their respective ethnicities, Huang Rong naturally has a phoenix, Elena is a bit French style, Eleanor and Fiona should work on the color.
On a cold day, of course, add a shawl or something, but but, it's good, it's really good, it's good!
Puff puff puff...... The spotlight was constantly flashing, and the reporters present felt that the cameras were not enough!
Flash?
Now it's like a small light bulb, and then it flashes, and then it changes to another one, no way, and now it's like this.
"Look! General Okasi! β
"General Fog Wind!"
"Secretary General of the Empire!"
Don't even say it, today's Broadway theater is really unprecedented, not only the emperor of the empire, but also many imperial dignitaries are present.
Needless to say, Ocassi, but this time the old man came with his family, and he was a blonde and blue-eyed girl, that ...... Nancy!
Anyway, I don't know how to fix it, the two of them came together, which really surprised Li Mengyang, and what is even more interesting is Lin Xiaoyi, this guy is also with his family, and he is also a white woman, exactly, Mary. Chesnat!
All right...... Li Mengyang really didn't encourage any intermarriage, really not, but it seems that these old bachelors of our Chinese prefer to marry a foreign woman...... There are also objective reasons for this, because after all, there are still fewer Chinese women and more men, a bit like later generations......
And not only them, but also many officials, many famous people, and even that Frederick. Douglas is also here, and I heard that there are many foreign friends, so this ......
What the hell is this for? This theater? Drama? Just to watch the show, there was such a battle?
That...... Let's watch the play first.
"Comrades!" The master of ceremonies on the stage spoke first, "Today! His Majesty the Emperor of the United States of America is here! I should have said many, many things, such as His Majesty's title......"
"Hahaha......"
Don't say it, don't look at so many big officials, the emperor is here, but the atmosphere is still very relaxed, and there is no problem at all to joke.
In fact, this is very normal, just the New World, because the people who come here are not nobles, most of them are low-level people, and the highest is to the middle level, so the culture itself is not very serious, gags are all normal, Li Mengyang naturally knows it, and he also lets it go.
"But!" The master of ceremonies continued: "His Majesty the Emperor specially reminded me before, let me make a long story short, don't delay everyone's time, and this task is really too arduous, isn't it? β
"Hahaha...... "Is that a long story short?"
Obviously, this joke is good, Li Mengyang and his wife sitting in the audience are laughing enough.
At this time, the theater, the auditorium is actually not much, because there needs to be a band, or an orchestra to accompaniment, so the stage covers a large area, but fortunately, our empire now has radio speakers, at least the music in this theater can be transmitted, so there are still a large number of New Yorkers outside, ready to listen to music.
And now, the band is ready, and the curtain of the Broadway theater is slowly opening, only to see ......
There are no actors on the stage, there is only a small stage in the center, and there is a thing on this platform, and for a while everyone can't see what this thing is for, just a box-like thing, just in the direction of the stage curtain, this box is in the shape of a semicircle.
These are nothing, but the strangest thing is the curtain of the stage, generally speaking, the stage of this year has a lot of organs, you can make some sets, create some scenes, but now, there is a curtain behind it, or a big, curvature curtain!
What is this about?
"Wow!"
All of a sudden, the whole theater went dark, the lights were turned off, and only the faint lights on the band's side were left, and they had to read the score!
But what is this all about?
The audience was really like ants on a hot pot at this time, because they had been told that there was going to be an unbeatable show, but now...... We'll have to wait.
But fortunately, something has finally changed!
Woo~
A trombone sounds, the band begins their work, and the music begins, which signifies the beginning of the show, approaching the ......
Bang, bounce, bang......
Drums, trumpets, pianos...... This kind of symphony is a high-end entertainment project in today's era, so it seems that this performance is a symphony orchestra performance?
It's just that I haven't heard this song before! I really haven't heard of it!
The new tune, and this piece has a characteristic, that is, it is very majestic, giving people a very shocking feeling, and this feeling ......
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the audience of the entire theater let out an exclamation, even Li Mengyang's four concubines were no exception, because the small box in the center of the stage was glowing, and after this light was projected on the curved curtain, it was simply starry!
Yes, it should be said that it is a star, it is a star map!
The audience can find their favorite stars from that big screen, Polaris, Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, Perseus Sagittarius...... You can find anything you want, maybe this curtain can't cover all the stars in the sky, because the universe is really too vast, there are countless stars, but at this time, the curtain shows in the dark, enough shock!
The cosmic galaxy, coupled with such a majestic symphony, is really exciting in the theater at this time, and the audience seems to be in the vast universe, and ......
It's moving!
The curtain is moving, oh no, it's the stars moving, it's spinning, it's like we're already in the universe!
It should be said that this scene has also been seen by ordinary astronomy enthusiasts, but the rotation of this scene, coupled with the symphony at this time, really makes people have a very strong sense of immersion, as if they are about to fly, this feeling is ......
It's just amazing! (To be continued......)
PS: Don't worry, hehe......
