Chapter 11: Drama
Ever since Chu Yunchen first came to Blue Star, he has been fascinated by drama since he saw Romeo and Juliet, and he deeply feels that drama comes from life, and life is sometimes more bloody than drama.
Located at the northeastern tip of country A, adjacent to country E, which loves music and drama, the ice city has become a city with a strong European style. There are many theaters in Bingcheng, and the theater often has many art troupes from home and abroad performing.
Chu Yunchen often goes to see performances, operas, stage plays, symphonies or cross talks, concerts, etc., all of which make him refreshed.
In the Kaiyang Continent, no one respects artists, and those who engage in art are all because they can't make great progress in the immortal path, and they vent their frustration in those fields, full of grief and indignation. And the big and small characters are busy cultivating immortals, how can they care about appreciating their works that are uncomfortable to watch.
Walking on the campus of Bing University, Chu Yunchen was reminiscing about the novel he had just finished reading, when his mobile phone rang.
It's Su Zhiqi, he is going to a haunted house in Montenegro on the weekend, and he can't accompany Chu Yunchen to the amusement park. Amusement parks are also an area they have never set foot in, their childhood is the same as that of children decades ago, there are no electronic devices, amusement parks and this kind of place sounds attractive, but it is really boring to go alone.
After hanging up the phone, Chu Yunchen opened the ticket buying website with ease.
"Li Wei Concert Tour, Bingcheng University Drama Festival, Tchaikov Symphony Orchestra New Year's Concert, Swan Lake, Tightrope Society Crosstalk...... Which one to choose? Chu Yunchen is struggling, and every performance sounds good.
"I heard that this Bingcheng College Drama Festival has our school drama club again, is it very powerful?" There was a little girl behind who was asking her partner next to her, and Chu Yunchen immediately pricked up her ears to listen.
"Bingcheng University Drama Festival is a drama performance jointly organized by major colleges and universities in Bingcheng, although it is a student, but the team that can go to this stage after layers of screening is not much worse than the professional. Moreover, the performance team of Bingda is extremely excellent, and it has been widely praised among the teachers and students of various drama schools, and has even been invited to perform by the Capital Drama Academy and Songjiang Drama Academy. Let's go see it on the weekend and call our school's drama club! ”
Chu Yunchen, who listened to the conversation between the two, naturally wanted to join in the fun, and immediately placed an order to buy tickets for the Bingcheng Drama Festival.
——————
The "26th Bingcheng College Drama Festival" in red and black on the electronic screen scrolled repeatedly, and the surrounding crowd was whispering, nothing more than discussing the gossip about various drama clubs.
"The Bingda Drama Club is out of the limelight this time, and a girl was praised by a veteran in the performance industry, and she wants to take her under the door!"
"Yes, yes, I've heard about it, it's that national actor!"
"That's right, there is a video on the Internet of the girl who can't play after she gets off the stage after performing, it seems that she is really a natural actor."
"Hmmm! I watched that video too, it's super touching! ”
Chu Yunchen laughed when he heard this, and thought to himself, "I want to see how powerful she is." ”
——————
The lights dimmed, and after the host quickly finished the strings, the show began.
The performances of various colleges and universities are decent, and occasionally a brilliant point attracts thunderous applause.
"Next is our finale, performed by the Bingcheng University Drama Club, turning into a butterfly, please!"
The audience was pitch black, and the melodious sound of violins came from all around.
"Liang Zhu!" A boy in the back whispered the name of the song.
Chu Yunchen didn't know much about the long historical accumulation of country A, so he didn't know what he was talking about, so he just listened quietly and waited.
As the interior slowly brightens, the curtain slowly opens, and the background is a verdant bamboo forest, and the sound of music gradually disappears. A few girls ran out of the bamboo forest in a hurry, and the warblers and swallows were full of laughter.
"Miss, you're running too fast, we can't catch up with you!"
"I don't care, if you can't catch me, you'll lose, let me go out of the house for a day!"
……
Zhu Yingtai has been smart since childhood, in order to seek a famous teacher, he instructed a woman to disguise herself as a man to go to the mountain to study, and Liang Shanbo was a classmate for three years, and the two lived in the same room, and the brothers were commensurate with each other, and the feelings were deep.
Three years later, Zhu Yingtai finished his studies and went down the mountain, and Liang Shanbo sent him off for eighteen miles, but it is still unknown that this brother is a girl. Zhu Yingtai had no choice but to lie that he had a younger sister waiting for him and was willing to be a matchmaker for Liang Shanbo. However, Liang Shanbo's family was poor and could not arrive as scheduled, and when Shanbo went to Zhu's house to propose, he didn't know that Zhu's father had married Yingtai to Ma Wencai, the son of Taishou. A happy marriage has become a shadow. The two met on the balcony, tearfully looked at each other, and said goodbye sadly. When parting, I made a vow: I can't live together, and I must die together!
Later, Liang Shanbo was summoned by the imperial court as a county magistrate, but Shanbo became depressed and fell ill and died soon after. Zhu Yingtai heard the bad news of Shanbo, swore to be martyred, forced to marry, detoured to the tomb of Liang Shanbo, got off the sedan chair to pay tribute, under the mourning induction of Zhu Yingtai, the wind and rain thunder and lightning were great, the grave burst, Yingtai jumped into the tomb, the tomb was reunited, the wind stopped raining, the rainbow hung high, Liang Zhu turned into a butterfly, and flew in the world.
……
"Uncle Shan, you and I can't be the same in life, and we must be in the same cave in death!" Sad, but it seems to make people see the beautiful scene of them being together forever.
Zhu Yingtai jumped into the grave and flew with Liangshan Bohua butterflies.
The violin and piano ensemble sounded again, desolate and mournful.
There were only sobs in the audience, and they had heard this story countless times, and they were still moved at the moment.
Chu Yunchen also shed two lines of tears, is it possible that the beauty of this world is going to be disillusioned after all?
The actors came to the stage to bow and thank them, and the applause lasted for a long time. They deserve it, she deserves it.
The throbbing of Liang Shanbo when she first saw her, the helplessness and yearning when she separated, the pain when she said goodbye, and the resoluteness when she reunited, she was Zhu Yingtai.
Looking at the only one on the stage who wiped his tears and cried without playing, and formed a strong contrast with the other actors enjoying the applause and smiling, Chu Yunchen's nose was a little sour, how much should she understand Zhu Yingtai? He admires such an actor.
He deliberately waited for the Bingda Drama Club outside the theater, wanting to thank and encourage "Zhu Yingtai". Watch as the petite figure comes out and strides forward.
She looked at a handsome boy coming over in a hurry, and said to her very solemnly: "Classmate, you acted so well!" Your role in Zhu Yingtai is simply amazing! My God, you are Zhu Yingtai! You have to come on! I will always support you! Without waiting for her to say thank you, she hurried away again. It baffled her.
Chu Yunchen didn't want to do this! He started to get nervous when he saw her, and he didn't write a draft before, he just said everything he wanted to say, and he couldn't care about other things. He regretted leaving, and he probably looked like a fool in her eyes.
But I also hope that this girl can have more works, although this may just be her interest outside of her major, but to be able to achieve such a peak of interest, that is really a talent.
He was glad he came to see the show. It's worth it.
