Chapter 27: The Queen of Drama (1)
“I wa
a be d
ama quee
! ”
Yang Xichen proclaimed loudly in Zhiyuan Middle School as if no one was around. With a height of nearly 1.8 meters, she seems to be standing not in the corridor of Zhiyuan Middle School at the moment, but in the center of the world stage, with high morale and heroic posture.
“d
ama quee
It's the queen of drama. Zou Ke specially explained to Lin Zhiye.
"I understand what I mean, but, sister, how can I, a music student, help you realize your ambition?"
"Haha, it's easy." Lin Zhiyi just asked the idea, "Our drama club has rehearsed several plays, and a few actors read their lines on stage, and at most they have some thoughts on costumes and props!" Taking advantage of this winter break, I'm going to play with something new. ”
"Hahaha!" Yang Xichen laughed loudly.
"Huh?" Lin Zhiyi still didn't borrow.
"I'm going to put on a musical!" Yang Xichen no longer sold Guan Zi and said bluntly.
"What?"
Musical theatre is a modern stage performance art that combines theatrical performance and song singing, and it emerged in the 60s in the West due to the popularity of rock music and television. Broadway in the United States and the West End of London in the United Kingdom are all popular destinations for musicals.
Lin Zhi has also seen many musicals, such as the classic "Cats", "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Sunset Boulevard"
To complete a complete musical, the actors rehearse from the story conception to the arrangement to the lyrics. In a short winter vacation, apart from the professional team mentioned above, how can the average person do it?
"Senior sister, are you serious?" Lin Zhi also confirmed again.
"Nonsense, my script is all written, you watch it first. Write all the tunes before the holidays. Zou Ke handed over the script that had already been printed to Lin Zhiyi.
Lin Zhiyi roughly estimated the thickness of the script, which was probably the appearance of a math exercise book, and it seemed that the number of words was barely acceptable.
"Well, I don't mean to embarrass you. Just write me 12 songs based on this script. Yang Xichen pointed to the script and said to Lin Zhiyi with a smile on his face.
"12 songs? It's only two weeks away, that is, I have to write a poem almost a day, are you a god when I am a god? "Isn't this really to retaliate for not joining the drama club in the first place? Women are really horrible.
"Lin Zhiyi, you promised to help me at the beginning, but no one forced you." Yang Xichen's face was obviously not good-looking. This is a script that took her a whole semester and how many Chinese lessons she took to write, and she must put this musical on stage in a gorgeous way.
"Forget it, a man's mouth is a deceitful ghost!" Zou Ke pretended to get the script back.
"Wait, I'll figure it out." Lin Zhi also stuffed the script into his school bag. If he didn't promise the two people in front of him this time, with their influence in the school, Lin Zhiyi felt that he didn't have to be a person in Zhiyuan Middle School in the future, and he couldn't do it if he didn't agree.
"Then it's a word, then wait for your demo (music sample) before the holiday." Yang Xichen and Zou Ke went home satisfied.
On the way home, Lin Zhiyi didn't dare to delay for a moment, and immediately studied the script that Yang Xichen gave him, and the name of the script was written on the first page in a super large font, called "The Prince and the Beggar".
The outline on the next page summarizes that in a certain overhead city, there is a young and handsome beggar begging on the street, which is not looked down upon by everyone. One day, however, a wealthy housekeeper told him that he was actually the long-lost eldest grandson of the richest man in the city, who was old and dying. He will be the sole heir to a multi-billion inheritance. After that, he became the real prince of the city, fiercely pursued by all kinds of single women.
"Well, the actor is naturally played by Yang Xichen. But there are too many female characters who appear. Almost every show has a brand new female actor. There are 12 scenes in total, which means that my composition should conform to the style of 12 different types of women. And these women all like Yang Xichen, it's too strange. For the setting of the beggar at the beginning, it is also the kind of beggar who shines with a handsome and compelling light, although he is poor, but he is very handsome. , this setting is too unscientific. ”
Lin Zhi couldn't help but complain.
"All in all, this drama is written to highlight Yang Xichen's personal charm!"
After returning home and hurriedly eating dinner, Lin Zhiyi locked himself in his room and rummaged through the cabinets to see if any of the songs he had composed before could be applied to this script.
"How could I write such strange music?" He thumped his head, and there was no inspiration at all. How to use music to express the poverty and handsomeness of a beggar? Also, because of the lack of money, the various states of the world are cold. and a sudden turn in the situation after having money.
This is not something that normal people can think of at all. But Lin Zhiyi still forced himself to open the music editing software on the computer, "I am not forced, I am not forced, I am voluntary, I am voluntary, I am voluntary, this is a new challenge in life, this is a new challenge in life, this is a new challenge in life." ”
After successfully hypnotizing himself, Lin Zhiyi also knocked down two dark chords in the software. After that, the brain goes blank.
The first day of composing the music passed like this, and when there were still thirteen days left, Lin Zhiyi still had to complete twelve songs.
Lin also decided to walk to school the next morning, observing the behavior of beggars on the street along the way, hoping for some inspiration. However, because those beggars have been exposed to the sun and rain for a long time on the street, most of them look haggard, pale and yellow, and their clothes are ragged.
Lin Zhiyi's heart had never collapsed so much, and he decided to negotiate with Yang Xichen at noon, can he do something different? At that time, his promise was too hasty, and he didn't consider it at all, what if Yang Xichen's request was too much?
At noon, in the school cafeteria, he left his old seat among the band members and sat on the empty seat next to Yang Xichen and Zou Ke.
"By the way, senior sister, are you really serious about that script?"
", I wrote this for a whole semester!"
"Are you sure your protagonist isn't going too far? Is there such a handsome beggar in the world? ”
"Is it excessive? If I were to be a beggar, I would be the most handsome in the world. Yang Xichen replied confidently.
And why every scene has an emotional scene, the main plot is only replaced by two lines of words in the opening scene, explaining to the audience. In this way, you might as well make a direct one, and your own love song album is more appropriate. ”
"Lin Zhiyi, are you pointing fingers at my script?" Yang Xichen suddenly put down the chopsticks he was using to eat.
The little Lori Zou Ke beside her showed a vicious look, and Lin Zhiyi realized that he was surrounded by people from the drama club, and the murderous aura coming from behind his body made him shudder.
He said in a different tone, "Senior sister, I didn't mean that, don't get me wrong." This script is very talented, but my life experience is still shallow, and I really don't know how to compose music? Can you be merciful and let me live? Do it for me in another way. ”
Yang Xichen suddenly said with a serious face, "Lin Zhiyi, I came to ask you to compose music for my musical, because I took a fancy to your musical talent. Are you trying to say that you're just a mediocre pianist? People who can't even do this kind of thing are embarrassed to say that they like music? ”
For Lin Zhiyi, this sentence is tantamount to a spiritual crit. He bowed his head in shame and returned to his band seat.
Qian Wenwen asked with concern, "Squad leader, what's wrong with you?" Did that senior sister bully you? ”
Lin Zhiyi shook his head and said. "No, I'm just a mediocre squad leader."
"You have helped us so much, if you encounter difficulties, just say it, my little fat will definitely go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up."
Lin Zhiyi glanced at Xiaopang, then at the direction of Yang Xichen and Zou Ke, and then looked back at Xiaopang, the fat man was gone. It seems that everyone knows that Yang Xichen is not easy to mess with.
"Eh, let's resign ourselves to our fate."
During the afternoon class, Lin Zhiyi drew a stave on his blank scratch paper, and began to try to compose music for Yang Xichen's musical.
What about the main theme? What about the prelude? Lin Zhiyi scratched his head in despair, he had no idea, or he should write the lyrics first, with the lyrics, it may be easier to bring the emotion into the music, but when he saw the first page of the script, he was shocked again, what kind of person is Yang Xichen, who would write this kind of script.
"On the streets of the bustling downtown of City A. At the entrance of the subway, there is often a tall and thin young man (played by Yang Xichen), looking at his dress, like a beggar wandering in the city. But he was not, like other beggars, squatting or half-lying on the ground, with a bowl waiting for the mercy of others, but he just stood proudly at the entrance of the subway, looking with melancholy eyes, hurrying away, hurrying passers-by. ”
Xiao Ai (played by Zou Ke) is a newcomer who has just entered the workplace, and she has to work overtime until late every night, and she rushes into the subway station every day, for fear of missing the last subway. The young man, who had been noticing her for a long time. ”
"Until one day, because Xiao Ai was running too fast, when she walked down the stairs at the subway entrance, she broke her high heels, and when she was about to fall to the ground, the young man rushed over and caught Xiao Ai's body with his strong arms."
Xiao Ai lay in the arms of the young man like this, and her eyes were deeply attracted by the young man's handsome face. A beautiful love begins. ”
"Ahh Lin Zhi couldn't control himself from looking up to the sky and roaring.
"Squad leader, what are you crazy about!" Teacher Wang, who was giving a serious lecture, was taken aback.
"Teacher, I'm so hard! It's so hard! What kind of bloody plot is this! ”
