Chapter 60: Performing on stage
After a brief greeting with Xu Leqiu, Su Wen and Zhang Xiaoli wandered around casually in the bustling crowd, squeezing the crowd downstairs. Along the way, I also met all kinds of people in strange costumes, either the performers of the theme classroom or the people who performed the program at the party. Walking in it, the costumes of Su Wen and Zhang Xiaoli are not strange.
Walking around the corner of the last classroom, about to go down the stairs, suddenly out of the bathroom came a man with a white foundation on his face, only his eyes were smeared with blood red, and he was wearing a white top hat that read "Fortune at First Sight"?
"Ahh Caught off guard, Su Wen was startled by the "person" who came out of the bathroom, and took a few steps back. And the "white impermanence" was startled by the girl's sudden scream, and hurriedly waved his hand and grinned, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" I'm human! I'm human! Don't be afraid! ”
"Wow! Are you impermanent? Zhang Xiaoli looked curious, "Where is the black impermanence?" ”
"Ah, he's in the haunted house!" The pale "Bai Wuchang" smiled more ugly than a ghost, "Have you the honor to invite the two girls to the haunted house to have a look?" ”
Su Wen's heart palpitated, his heart was pounding, and Zhang Xiaoli became more and more curious, "Where is the haunted house?" ”
"Oh," the boy dressed as white impermanence pointed to the classroom of class 16, "class 16!" Come to our haunted house at night to make it even more exciting! ”
Zhang Xiaoli responded excitedly, "Okay, okay! We'll come back after the show in the evening! ”
"I was scared to death...... Huhu ......" Going down the stairs, Su Wen patted his chest with palpitations.
Zhang Xiaoli smiled proudly, "Haha, it turns out that Su Wen is afraid of ghosts!" Hahaha......"
"Humph! Oak, you know how to laugh at me! Su Wen smiled and waved his small fist at the boyish-looking girl.
At seven o'clock in the evening, the school-wide New Year's Day Gala officially began. The first show was a noisy opening dance with singing and dancing, and after touching up the makeup, the second group sat in the waiting area and quietly enjoyed the evening. The studio of Nuoda was full of people, sitting in the waiting area, Su Wen's heartbeat couldn't help but accelerate with the drumbeat of the music.
The previous rehearsal was only a rough walk, there was no audience at the bottom, everything was according to the previous rehearsal, just familiar with the venue. And the party really began, facing the thousands of audiences in the audience, the girl's heart pounded when she thought of the spotlight on the stage. Sweat oozed from her palms, and the girl exhaled frequently.
"What's wrong?" Song Yu noticed the girl's long sigh, turned her head sideways and asked in a low voice.
Su Wen frowned slightly, and his hands were twisted together, "I didn't ...... much"
"Are you nervous?" The boy's eyes sparkled in the dark.
"Hmm."
"Don't worry, don't go to the audience, whatever! It's just like we usually rehearse on stage, and you usually perform very well! The boy said encouragingly, "It's good to blend in, ten minutes will be over soon!" ”
"Well, I'll try my best!" In the darkness, the girl raised the corners of her mouth and smiled.
Before waiting behind the scenes for the fifth group of programs to finish, Su Wen quietly cheered himself up in his heart.
"Full of absurd words, a handful of bitter tears."
"Duyun is an idiot, who understands the taste?"
"It is the flesh that is gone"
"It is the soul that is immortal"
"Although Cao Xueqin is far away from us, the Dream of Red Mansions will forever remain in the treasure house of traditional Chinese cultural classics."
Next, please enjoy the three-act drama "Dream of Red Mansions" brought to us by Song Yu, Su Wen, Xiao Shijie and other students from the first and second classes of high school! Applause welcome! ”
After the curtain, the staff of the performance troupe quickly and orderly put the props on the stage, and the standard Mandarin of the male and female hosts in front of the stage read the host script one by one. As the last sentence fell, the curtain slowly opened, the stage turned on the soft light, and the whole stage was presented brightly in front of everyone.
In the first act, Lin Daiyu entered Jia's mansion, whether it was the venue or the role, it was a simplified version of the stage short drama, Su Wenyi entered from the right, and the eyes of the audience followed the girl who resembled Lin Daiyu, and when the girl raised her head to deduce the sadness of Jia's mother, the audience was amazed for a while.
The first act is dull, and the second act is used as a funny role in the whole play, Deng Jiaming's anti-string played Grandma Liu caused the audience to laugh as soon as she came on the stage. "Grandma Liu" sat on the seat, and the girls put a few flowers on the forehead of "Grandma Liu" as if they were funny, and "Grandma Liu" had a shyness on her dark face, squinting her eyes and smiling, which made the audience laugh.
"Lao Liu, Lao Liu, eat as much as a cow: eat an old sow, don't look up!" Deng Jiaming fully integrated into the role, and when he performed, he was very funny, full of ugliness, after saying this, the audience erupted into a sea of laughter, and the laughter echoing in the studio lingered for a long time.
Su Wen has completely integrated into the role on stage, did not look at the audience's eyes, invested in it, and laughed with everyone with the naivety shown by "Grandma Liu".
If the second act caused the audience to laugh because of the funny elements, as soon as the curtain of the waiting scene opened in the third act, the song of "Vain Eyebrows" slowly flowed out like a spring, quiet, simple, and far-reaching, but it made the thousands of people in the audience instantly quiet.
There are only Su Wen and Song Yu on the stage, and there is no "Grandma Liu" who caused the audience to laugh as soon as they appear, and there are no beautiful girls. Even if the scenery on the stage can't be more streamlined, the plastic rockery, an ornamental peach blossom tree, the falling flowers scattered all over the ground, and the imitation stone bench and wooden chair for the two to read poetry and books together, the two people who deduce the style of Lin Daiyu and Jia Baoyu between the eyebrows are enough to attract the attention of the audience.
At this time, Su Wen became more and more completely integrated into the role, smiling and smiling with the boys, looking at each other and playing around, as if he was a childhood sweetheart who really grew up together and secretly fell in love, showing the innocence of a 16-year-old girl in her coquettishness, and her eyebrows were affectionate but revealing the subtlety of the ancients. The boy was incarnated as Jia Baoyu, a pair of black and white eyes couldn't hide the blazing eyes, and when he stared at the girl, the girl was so shy that her heart was pounding. couldn't tell the difference between reality and illusion, at that moment she was only happy and shy as Lin Daiyu.
"One is Langyuan Xianbao
One is the beauty of the jade flawless
If you say that there is no fate, you will meet him again in this life
If it is said that there is a strange fate, how can the mind finally be empty"
With the sound of classical pathos music, the audience can't help but walk into Bao Dai's poignant love story. The poignancy of the music, the subtle feelings between the two when Bao Dai read the West Chamber, there is joy in the sadness, but there is sadness in the joy, just like the poignant love between Bao Dai and the two childhood sweethearts who cherish each other but are torn by fate.
"It's a vain one
An empty labor concern
One is the Moon in the Water
One is the flower in the mirror
Think about how many tears can there be in your eyes
How can we survive autumn to the end of winter, and spring to summer?"
The music stopped abruptly until all the performers walked to the stage and bowed for the curtain call, and the audience was immersed in the previous touch, and for a while they had an endless aftertaste, and they could only affirm the exquisiteness and excellence of the three-act play with bursts of warm applause.
Walking off the stage, Su Wen almost burst into tears for the warm applause that permeated the entire studio. Doing something he had never done or thought of, the moment he finished it, Su Wen suddenly found that he was not incompetent as he had in his impression. As long as she dares to do it, she can also become that shining star in the crowd, and get rid of the shadow of the ugly duckling who only dared to hide in a dark corner in the past.
The heart inexplicably settled, and some things converged into the heart with a warm current flowing into the heart and lungs, becoming the backing of the girl to fight against the wind and rain.
"Wow! The girl who plays Lin Daiyu up close is so beautiful! Walking off the stage, Su Wen heard the excited discussion of girls somewhere in the audience, "And the one who plays Jia Baoyu is Song Yu, the squad leader of the second class, right?" So handsome!! ”
Su Wen looked at the black oppressive audience curiously, and the students who were close to him all looked at him in surprise. Looking at the strange classmates, the girl lowered her eyebrows shyly.
All the members of the troupe returned to the audience queue of their class, and everyone was very satisfied with the performance, and they high-fived each other one by one. The students of the second class were also excited, and lowered their voices to congratulate the students of the troupe on the success of their performances.
"Su Wen, you just played well! It's especially beautiful on stage! I've never seen you so beautiful! It's simply Lin Daiyu herself! ”
"yes, yes! We weren't very optimistic about you at first, but now it seems that we are blind! Or the squad leader has a good eye! ”
"I didn't expect Su Wen to be so good at acting in dramas! The costume is super beautiful! ”
"The person I am optimistic about will naturally not be bad!" Song Yu smiled like a spring breeze, her eyes were shining, and she proudly responded to the girls' praise of Su Wen.
The girl who has always been beautiful and outstanding will not be surprised by others when she becomes more beautiful, and the girl who was ordinary at the beginning will one day, like Cinderella becoming a beautiful princess, for a while, all kinds of praise and surprise praise are overwhelming.
"Su Wen, you're great today!" Even Kong, who has been cold for half a year, smiled and sent affirmation.
Classmates who knew or didn't know each other all sent praises and took the initiative to get closer to Su Wen, Su Wen was flattered for a while, and his cheeks turned red with shame. I didn't know how to respond to the girls' twitter compliments, so I had to respond with a shy smile and a "thank you".
The New Year's Day party is still going on, following the short drama of "Dream of Red Mansions" in the second class, it is a recitation performance, which is boring and boring, and people are not interested in it.
"Huh! Huh! Suven! A big hand behind him patted the girl's back heavily, and the girl's goosebumps fell to the ground as if she dodged the force, hating the sudden physical contact of others. Listening to that wild voice, I didn't look back and knew that it was the annoying Shen Changdi.
Su Wen frowned and tilted his head slightly, and tried his best to be patient and polite to his classmates who had been at the table for half a year.
"Robin Zhou asked you to play together! Let's go out later! Let's spend an all-night garden party together! The boy's straightforward and strong tone didn't look like he was here to ask for advice.
"Don't talk nonsense! Come back! Shen Changdi's strong words were mixed with the awkward denial of another boy's daughter-in-law.
"Don't go!"
Unable to hold back his disgust any longer, Su Wen turned his head away and sat forward, not wanting to pay attention to the strong and unreasonable boys behind him.
