Chapter Seventy-Nine: Hamlet
XXXX University's Club Joint Competition is a club program competition hosted by the school and organized by the students of each club under the leadership of the instructor. The purpose is also very simple - to select some of the better programs and put them on next year's welcome party. The clubs that are selected for the program can not only increase their popularity and obtain a certain amount of club funds, but also take advantage of the stage of the welcome party to publicize it!
Although there is still a long time before next year's orientation, each club will generally start to prepare for it in the first half of the year. Rack your brains to come up with the best program plan and do a rehearsal. In order to stand out in the second half of the competition.
Often, the clubs will perform the show they are preparing for the competition, borrowing the school's multimedia classroom or rehearsing it directly in the outdoor square. Then, through the feedback from the performance, decide whether to adopt or improve.
Under the persuasion of Luo Cheng's soft grinding and hard foaming, and his lips were scorched and his tongue was dry, Tu Shu finally reluctantly agreed, promising to help him with this. However, on the other hand, he also put forward two conditions.
First: He only promised to help complete the fight scenes, and did not participate in roles with too many lines.
Second: I don't participate in the usual rehearsals, and only show up to help during competitions and performances.
In the final analysis, Tu Shu didn't want to do it, and he was completely chasing ducks to the shelves. The reason why he agreed to come down was completely for Luo Cheng's sake.
After some discussion, Nie Daocheng and Tao Yuping finally agreed to Tu Shu's two conditions. After all, all they want is Tu Shu's fight scene, as long as the other party is willing to come!
After several rounds of selection, Nie Daocheng finally chose Shakespeare's "Hamlet" as the final screenplay. As one of Shakespeare's four major tragedies, the story of "Hamlet" is naturally familiar, but if it is really to be played, it is still quite difficult. Especially for the members of the drama club who have not been in contact with drama for a long time, it is a big challenge.
And the reason why Nie Daocheng chose it was precisely because he watched the last scene of his script - the second scene of the fifth act: the heroine's brother Leotis and the protagonist Hamlet have a sword duel in the castle!
Nie Daocheng decided to let Tu Shu play the role of Leotis. There are two reasons for this.
First: Leotis has very few scenes in the play and not many lines. Just met the role requirements of Tu Shu.
Second: The swordsmanship duel between Leotis and Hamlet In the last scene of the whole play, Tu Shu's fight scene can just appear in the finale, giving the finishing touch to the whole play and making people shine.
Nie Daocheng is a doer, and since he has set the script, he immediately began to purchase materials and prepare for the performance. Soon, a month later, a ticket for the performance of the "Hamlet" stage play was handed to Lin Peng.
"What's that?"
Lin Peng had just come back from playing basketball, sweating profusely. looked at the ticket in Luo Cheng's hand with a vigilant face. I am afraid that the last "Little Yellow Book Incident" will happen again.
"Our club's show preview ticket, buddy, I specially left one for you!"
Luo Cheng shook the ticket in his hand and said proudly, as if how capable it would be to get this ticket.
"I'm not interested, take it!"
Lin Peng glanced at the name and returned the ticket to Luo Cheng, he was not interested in watching this kind of tragic drama!
"Damn, you hurt your feelings, do you know how much effort I put into getting these tickets for your brothers?!"
Actually, Luo Cheng came with a mission. He had to send out the tickets in his hand before the performance, so naturally he started with the people around him, and he just happened to sell personal favors.
"Alright, alright, I'll go! I'll go, brother. β
Lin Peng was a little impatient with Luo Cheng's entanglement, so he had to be forced to accept the ticket. In fact, how did he know that he was Luo Cheng's first target, how could he be easily let go?
The performance was scheduled for Saturday afternoon in the school's Grand Theatre, which is dedicated to stage performances. Lin Peng and Liu Chuanbin arrived as promised, and found a few seats in the middle and sat down side by side. To their surprise, there were quite a few people who came to see it! It seems that the two associations have put a lot of effort into publicity.
"I didn't expect there to be so many people, it seems that this show should be okay. β
Lin Peng looked at the endless stream of people who kept pouring in, and couldn't help but start looking forward to the performance.
"Pull it down, it's all amateur actors, it's still Shakespeare's play, it's good if you don't act badly. β
Liu Chuanbin shook his head with a smile, and didn't seem to be optimistic.
As expected, the acting skills of several actors on the stage are still relatively immature, and their lines are stiff and lack appeal. plus the rows of people and faces in the audience. Several actors didn't expect so many people to come, so they couldn't help but be a little cramped and nervous, and it was good if they didn't say the wrong lines. Lin Peng and the others were about to cry when they saw it! I thought to myself: I must teach Luo Cheng a good lesson when I go back!
In this way, several actors staged the play to the final sceneβa sword duel between Hamlet and Leotis in the castle.
With the sound of elegant music, the red curtain slowly unfolded. "Hamlet" and "Leotis", dressed in silver Central European costumes, appeared on the stage.
"Look!Isn't that Tu Shu?!"
Wu Xin was the first to recognize the identity of "Leotis".
And the actor of "Hamlet" is the member of the Wushu Association who has a good "kung fu". But a discerning person can see at a glance that this "Hamlet" is a woman!
The curtain was fully opened, the classical music came to an abrupt end, and the people on the stage began to move and begin the final performance.
"Come, Hamlet, come, let me reconcile you two. β
A "king" wearing a crown and dressed up walked between "Hamlet" and "Leotis" and took their hands and shook them.
"Forgive me, Leotis, I have offended you, but you are a dignified man, please forgive me. Everyone here knows, and you must have heard people talk about how I was mad. Whatever I have done that is enough to hurt your feelings and honour, and to provoke your anger, I now declare that I have committed a mistake in my madness. Would Hamlet do something sorry for Leotis? Hamlet would never do such a thing. If Hamlet had done something sorry for Leotis when he lost his own mind, and that kind of thing was not done by Hamlet, Hamlet could not admit it. So who did it? It's his madness. If this is the case, then Hamlet also belongs to the injured side, and his madness is the enemy of poor Hamlet. Before all of you, I confess that I have accidentally wounded my brother by an arrow I shot unintentionally, and I will now ask him for forgiveness for my sins that were not intentional. β
"Hamlet", who is dressed as a man, bows deeply to "Leotis". Her skillful lines and emotional language are almost like two people just now.
"It stands to reason that my affection for this matter should be the main force that stirs me up for revenge, and now I am at last satisfied with my feelings, but there is also the issue of honor, unless some elder who is admired by all tells me that I can give up my vendetta with you, and points out that there is a precedent for such a thing, and it will not damage my reputation, and then I can reconcile with you. For the time being, I would like to accept your kind offer and promise that I will never fail you. β
Tu Shu, who played "Leotis", also took a step forward and spoke his lines eloquently. What is surprising is that Tu Shu, who participated in this kind of activity for the first time, did not feel nervous at all, and spoke clearly and loudly. Not at all like a layman!
"Tu Shu, this kid, is not bad!"
Several people in the audience looked at Tu Shu, who was dressed as a European nobleman, holding the saber at his waist in one hand, and he held his head high. There is no need to act, there is a natural nobility between the eyebrows. It's like a European nobleman with great swordsmanship!
Gradually, many people in the audience recognized Tu Shu and chatted in a whisper.
Lin Peng didn't know that in fact, in the Grand Theater, Heitong Boren was also sitting in a corner at the moment, staring intently at Tu Shu on the stage.
"Is that kid the rumored Eye of the Sky boy?"
A familiar voice suddenly came from behind him, and Boruto Kurokiri was startled and looked back. I saw that Sima Xuan was standing behind him at some point!
"Why are you here?!"
Boruto Kuroki was taken aback.
"Hey, hey, hey... I'm the art teacher at this school, and you think I'm going to be here!"
Sima Xuan said with a playful smile, and sat down next to Boruto Kurito, still looking cynical.
"I really didn't expect that... β
Boruto Kuroki wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said with some surprise.
"I said, you really follow this little ghost wherever he goes. β
Sima Xuan leaned on his position and said casually.
"It's my job!WES's mission is to maintain order in the Anomalous Realm! If his Eye of Heaven falls into the hands of heretics, it will cause a lot of trouble. β
"Hey, hey, hey... Don't fool me with this kind of deception, I've been working in the Asian branch for a while. You're actually trying to bring him in!"
Sima Xuan broke through the mystery in one sentence.
"Hmm... Your instincts are really sharp and annoying. β
"To be honest, I don't think that kid will fall for it easily. And... Now there are people who want to strike first. β
As soon as Sima Xuan's words fell, "Hamlet" on the stage suddenly pulled out the saber at his waist! Without warning, he stabbed Tu Shu's heart suddenly!
