Chapter 8 The Show
(The new book sets sail, asking for all kinds of support, especially tickets!) )
The Irish bagpipes are crisp and melodious, with a hint of lazy unique sound, and Li Yaoyang dreams of 98 years.
That year, the giant wheel left a heavy mark in the world film industry.
And now, with a familiar prelude, the giant ship will set sail ahead of schedule, with its own ink under the Broadway painting.
Just an opening accompaniment, the audience, especially the women who were deeply touched by the novel, felt their eyes sour and a feeling of tears.
It's so beautiful, this prelude is so beautiful.
The soothing and soft melody has neither the tension before the giant ship is about to hit the iceberg, nor the majesty of the waves cleaving the waves on the sea.
But it is precisely such a melody that is like a low whisper, but it renders the romantic atmosphere to the extreme.
As soon as the prelude passed, I thought it was time for someone to sing, but the sound stopped abruptly, and the curtain was completely opened.
More than 40 actors played more than 100 characters of all sizes on the ship. Cheerfully and high-spirited boarded the Titanic, which was about to set sail, and praised this "largest moving object ever built".
On the stage, a simple two-story steel platform is used to build the image of the bow of the ship, and the "crew" and "passengers" enter and exit the auditorium area, and the entire theater seems to become a part of the Titanic.
The optimism of the opening song instantly dispelled the mournful atmosphere created by the Irish bagpipes.
In the whole play, only "My Heart Will Go On" was contributed by Li Yaoyang himself, and the rest of the music was created by professionals.
In half a month, they created a miracle.
Of course, they don't make a lot of references to the folklore music of the British Isles, hence the musical composition of this stage play.
For people in this era, the appearance of the Titanic is undoubtedly a part of the general trend of history, which fascinates those who have experienced it.
Their confidence in human strength, progress, and the future is also the sentiment that the first act of the whole play wants to convey.
The corresponding arrogance and arrogance caused the tragedy of life and death in the second act.
is slightly different from the original movie, when Li Yaoyang wrote the script, he also referred to the stories that exist in real history -
From a boiler room worker to a first-class tycoon;
From a second-class couple to a bankrupt family in exchange for a third-class ticket;
Irish immigrants eager to make their mark in the New World;
From a childish and naïve errand boy to a conscientious and responsible boat designer;
He focuses on the life experiences of every person on board, big and small, and combines them into a complete and uncluttered story.
Of course, the main line is the beautiful love between Jack and Rousi, which is comparable to the love between Romeo and Juliet, which makes every sensual woman fascinated.
In the hearts of people in this era, perfect love should be like this - if you don't do anything, you will die for each other.
When 'Jack' appeared, the female audience held their breath.
Sure enough, it was a tender little fresh meat out of the water, which was no different from the description of Jack in the book.
The slightly sloppy blonde hair is chic and uninhibited, full of artistic atmosphere.
And when the shredded meat came on stage, the male audience couldn't take their eyes off it, and the slightly lower bandeau dress was the end of their sight.
To be honest, the Broadway stage is too small, and it is simply unrealistic to want to fully show the style of the Titanic.
Therefore, Li Yaoyang can only pick a part of the epitome to present the whole story.
On the stage, every actor is working hard, as if they are living characters on the Titanic.
They kept wandering between the decks, and there were many ridiculous stories.
One by one, small stories are connected, small GCs emerge in endlessly, and the attention of the audience is nailed to the stage, and no one is distracted.
Li Yaoyang, who was secretly observing behind the scenes, breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the gap between film directors and stage directors is not as big as imagined.
Your first little goal is about to be accomplished!
He secretly clenched his fists and looked at the stage, 'Jack' had just saved the shredded meat that wanted to jump into the sea, and he was secretly emotional.
What follows is the scene that makes the man have a nosebleed and the woman curses in a low voice.
In the cabin, Shredded Meat takes out the Heart of the Ocean and asks Jack to help put it on.
When everyone in the audience was caught off guard, the silky nightdress like water floated to the ground, and the perfect body and fair skin were unobstructed under the light.
The golden light focused on the graceful figure of the flesh, and she turned her back to the auditorium and walked towards the chaise longue step by step.
Li Yaoyang could almost hear the inner shouts of the male audience: Turn around, turn around!
Finally, she turned around, the blood was surging, and the gentlemen finally couldn't suppress the wildness in their hearts, and the applause like a tide rang out.
In fact, in the process of watching the stage play, applause and cheering are very rude.
But no one cares about that at this time, they are all applauding for this wonderful moment, what else can they do?
Desires need a channel to vent, and they can only vent in this way, and the palms of their hands are red?
Never mind! What if it's broken?
At this moment, I don't know how many big people in the audience want to take the shredded meat for themselves.
Jack, you don't deserve her!
The voice of the big man Li Yaoyang didn't care, he knew that he was going to succeed.
After that, it is estimated that the men will not care too much about it, and their minds are full of shredded flesh.
If it weren't for the fear of losing face, they would all want to shoot Jack and shout: Come for me.
But the ladies were still immersed in it, screaming at the ship crashing into the iceberg and crying 'you jump, I jump'.
When the ship sank, everyone went to find themselves.
The captain returned to his post, the musicians returned to the music, the old men slept peacefully on their beds, the faithful clasped the priest's hands, the vice-captain committed suicide in search of salvation, the mother gave up her escape and put her child to sleep, and the priest held the cross and continued to recite scriptures for the faithful......
The pictures of these little people have become the best background board for Jack and Rousi in front of the stage.
They found their love, and the big ship found a home.
The melodious Irish bagpipes sounded again, and this time, the romantic melody was like a knife, cutting people's hearts.
Every note is like a knife cut, and it hurts so much that it is hard to breathe.
This time there was no abrupt stop, and the lyrics flowed slowly:
“Every night in my dreams,I see you. I feel you …”
Just one lyric made the ladies cry silently, isn't this the state of mind of the meat thread after many years?
The Irish tin whistle with a strong national charm is melodious and poignant in the song;
The melody goes from the initial flat to the passionate, to the lingering and melancholy, all the way to the end, to the sad lyricism at the end.
The short four-minute song perfectly summarizes the story development of the whole show, and at the same time, it also deepens everyone's memory.
Perhaps the audience, after returning home, quickly forgot the details of the show.
But as soon as you think of this song, you will immediately come to mind a wonderful picture on the stage.
This is the charm of a golden song, which is worth revisiting again and again.
When the curtain slowly closed, thunderous applause rang out, and it didn't stop for a long time...
