Atlantic Theatre Center, where "The Sound of Music" made its premiere.

The paradise-like garden landscape presents all the beauty in the plot.

The audience was immersed in the garden and enjoyed a beautiful musical journey.

If you ask the audience the biggest impression of this show, there is no doubt that the three classic tracks.

One is "Edelweiss", which expresses the love of freedom and the courage to pursue it, as well as the attachment to the motherland.

In this way, even if the audience comes from different countries, they can resonate.

And the song "Doremi" is the first song that kindergarten children first learned about music.

This piece is very cheerful and easy to remember, and it also uses homophony to help children better remember and understand the scales, which has become an introductory tune for children to learn music at the beginning.

Many young audiences also learned this song as soon as the musical ended, and since then they have sung it all over the place, and soon it has been praised at home and abroad with the popularity of "The Sound of Music".

The last one, "The Lonely Shepherd", is also a lively tune, and the main reason for everyone to remember it is its repeated lyrics and melody. The song expresses the mood of yearning for freedom and shows scenes of pastoral joy.

When hearing these melodies, it's hard not to be infected by the enthusiasm and hopeful emotions of these songs, and you can't help but sing along to the melody.

Music is the easiest medium to achieve emotional resonance, and this musical has the most simple and beautiful music, and no one does not enjoy it.

The Atlantic Journal published a report on the success of the premiere of The Sound of Music the next day, and of course, gave the most positive and positive reviews.

At the same time, it also uses words to help more viewers who have not watched this drama understand the plot.

In fact, the original "The Sound of Music" tells the story of the adaptation of "The Trapp Family Choir".

And Li Yaoyang's version just combines part of the original musical, as well as the plot of the movie, in general, the story is fuller, and it does not lose the characteristics of the musical.

The author of the original version is the prototype of the eldest daughter in the original film, namely Agatha. Ms. Trapp.

As for why the movie is called The Sound of Music?

is because music is the key, a bright line throughout the film, and plays an important role in threading the needle for the whole film.

And when music is sung from different mouths and in different contexts, it is also given different meanings.

The 22-year-old is a trainee nun at the Salzburg Abbey.

People often have the impression that nuns are solemn and unsmiling.

At the beginning of the play, this "special nun" wanders in the mountains and forests, opens her arms, embraces the verdant mountains and bright sunshine, and praises the beauty given by the Creator.

Immediately afterwards, the perspective cuts to the convent, where a middle-aged nun, with a dark face, reports to the abbot about Mary's situation.

Such a naughty and willful nun, who is often late for even chanting, should be very hated in the monastery, if nothing else.

But on stage, a different side is shown here, although many nuns criticize Maria for being unruly, but at the same time express their affection for him in their words, admiring Maria's enthusiasm for life.

But in any case, it is always an indisputable fact that being a trainee nun is "not very honest".

"How are you going to deal with someone like Maria?"

This is a problem that gives every nun in the convent a headache.

Of course, this is a musical, and they have a headache and a headache, and the song should be sung.

In this music, the nuns express different views on Maria through different lyrics.

The first to speak was the "black-faced" nun, who listed all the sins of Maria's mischievous mischief;

Immediately afterwards, several nuns mended the knife one after another, and it became Maria's complaining meeting;

There is a black face and a red face, a red-faced nun, unabashedly showing her love for Maria.

However, his praise of Mary was mostly a joke.

For example, this one: "She can make me laugh." ”

At this time, the supreme administrator of the monastery, the embodiment of wisdom and love throughout the story, and Maria's spiritual mentor, the abbot's grandmother, opened up.

She compares Mary to a puffy cloud in the sky, pure and white, but always floating in the sky and unable to be nailed to the ground.

The implication, of course, is that Mary cannot be confined to a monastery.

After the dean sang, the other nuns all mended the knife one after another, and the black-faced nun even compared Maria to a clown.

Then there was an argument - the red-faced nun called her dear, and the black-faced nun called her a demon;

The black-faced nun said she was a headache, and the red-faced nun said she was an angel.

In the midst of the nun's singing, Mary appeared.

She hurried back to the monastery and hurriedly washed the sweat from her face, but when she turned around, she saw a group of nuns, staring at her.

"Well, it's over." That's what Mary should have thought at this point.

Maria simply broke the jar and broke it, and without saying hello to everyone, she hurried back to her room.

Later, the dean's grandmother summoned Maria to the dean's office to talk.

Nervous, Maria walked into the office, kissed the dean's hand, and sat down in front of the dean.

She tried hard to justify her tardiness, but her explanation, not to say that it was pale and weak, could be said to be more and more outrageous.

She explained to the dean:

"Nature is beckoning to me, and I have to be part of it."

If the black-faced nun heard this, I am afraid that her face would change on the spot, but fortunately, it was the dean in front of her.

The dean listened silently to Maria's statement.

She knew Mary very well - this child was naughty and naughty, but he was sincere, pious in heart, and always a good person.

The purpose of the monastery has always been to ferry people, not to bind them.

Perhaps the hard life in the monastery was not for the energetic Maria, and she decided to let her go out into the outside world, take a walk and take a look.

The dean gave Maria a task and set a deadline to take care of the seven children until September of this year, when spring had just begun.

Maria couldn't help but swallow, although she was born with an active and lively nature, after all, she was facing seven children, and having to take care of them for more than half a year was still a big challenge for her.

"When God closes a door, He will surely open another window for you."

After leaving the monastery, Mary repeated this phrase several times.

There is no doubt that she was a stubborn nun who was a devout nun with a strong faith in God.

Yet, when faced with a hazy future, the faithful believer still felt hesitant and overwhelmed.

Fortunately, Mary was a living person, with a zest for life and a love for creation.

No matter where you are, as long as you believe in beauty, you can always embrace the mountains and forests and the sun.

The people Maria was going to were from a well-known local family.

The man of the family is a retired naval colonel who has seven children with his ex-wife, who died of illness a few years ago, and the colonel is busy with entertainment and official duties, so the children are left unattended.

For this reason, the colonel has hired several tutors, but these tutors cannot serve for a long time for various reasons, in fact, most of them can't stand the children's tricks.

The Colonel's estate was tall and magnificent, and richly decorated.

This was a rare sight for Maria, who had been practicing penance in the monastery for many years.

Wandering through the Colonel's mansion, Maria stumbles upon a richly decorated room that looks like a ballroom.

Maria fantasized about dancing and bowing to the audience.

And just as she was immersed in it, the door was pushed open, and a tall and handsome man appeared in front of him.

One only has to look at this man's grandeur to conclude that he is the colonel.

The two looked at each other. Maria was a little surprised, for the Colonel looked much younger and more handsome than he had imagined.

The Colonel's expression was a little indifferent, as if he didn't care about the new governess.

Subsequently, the colonel introduced Maria to her seven children.

This was where the first clash between the two broke out.

The Colonel asked Maria to remember the whistle he blew when he summoned him and asked her to repeat it, but Maria flatly refused.

She believes that summoning someone with a whistle is an insult to someone else.

The Colonel grumbled, and was about to leave, when the shrill whistle of Mary was heard behind him.

"Excuse me about the signal, I don't know what you're sending out." Maria asked, slightly defiantly.

"You should call me Captain!"

Maria subdues their military father in front of the children, and she shows a different sense of humor and enthusiasm than any previous governess, but is initially resisted by the children.

At the first meeting and the first dinner, Maria was tricked twice by the children.

Of course, this was the problem of the children and the colonel, but the colonel firmly and even somewhat stubbornly believed that it was not the children's fault, let alone his fault, and that it must be the governess's fault.

At this point in the plot, although it is only less than 1/3 of the way, it is not difficult to see that although the colonel loves his 7 children very much, there is a deep estrangement between him and the children. Otherwise, on a night when the wind was howling and thunderstorming, why didn't the children go to their father, but gather in the house of the governess, who had only been there for a day?

And why do children keep playing tricks on their governess?

The reason is funny, but it also shows the estrangement between the colonel and the children—they just want to get their father's attention.

How did this divide come about? The answer is not given in the story, but the audience can easily deduce that it is because of the death of the colonel's wife and the children's mother.

The Colonel must have loved his wife very much, or he would not have conceived seven children with her.

There is no doubt that the early death of his wife was fatal to the Colonel, and even after several years, the Colonel's face was still gloomy—his heart was half dead, because the love for his children kept him going.

But because of this, he has to keep his distance from his children, because every time he sees his children, the voice and smile of his deceased wife will appear in front of his eyes, and he can't face this great grief.

But the Colonel was lucky to meet Maria, who was full of passion and energy.

The Colonel travels on a business trip, and Maria gets the opportunity to be alone with the children.

Instead of strictly following the Colonel's requirements and managing the children's daily life one by one, she made simple game clothes for the children with curtains, and took the children to gallop around the castle manor and get in close contact with nature.

In the process, Maria taught the children how to sing and how to express themselves through music.

The classic, which was even put on the music textbook and was praised by countless children after the performance, was the first song that children came into contact with music.

The children's hidden talents seem to be activated, and they sing in the mountains and forests, singing in the streets and alleys.

At the same time, Maria also got along with the children seriously, she played with them, chatted with them, listened to their hearts, and the children finally unloaded the guards built up by their father's indifference, and returned to the cheerful and sunny appearance that a teenager should have.

What did Maria rely on to win the trust of these seven "naughty children" who had forced away countless governesses?

The answer couldn't be simpler: love!

With her respect and love, Maria won the recognition of the children.

It's just that all this, the colonel did not know.

The Colonel's whole mind was now on one thing: whether the children would be able to accept their new lover, the Baroness.

The Baroness inherited a large inheritance due to the death of her husband, became a well-known rich woman in aristocratic circles, and she was also a "good friend" of the colonel's friend Max.

The two naturally got acquainted, fell in love, and talked about marriage.

However, as soon as the colonel returned, he was caught off guard: their children, led by the governess, played all over the manor castle!

This annoyed the serious colonel, who even decided to fire Maria.

But when he heard the children's beautiful singing, he smiled happily and stepped forward to sing in chorus.

The majestic male voice is mixed with the child's immature children's voice, which also represents the father's reintegration into the children.

At the end of the song, the children hugged their father excitedly, and at this moment, the gap between the father and the children, which should not exist, completely disappeared with the help of music.

But music is just a "tool" here, and the real key factor is Maria's love for the children, and the new attitude she brings to the children - to live positively, optimistically, to love life hard, to understand and tolerate what they love.

Realizing this, the Colonel suddenly realized his mistake, and he immediately ran out, caught up with Maria, who was about to leave, and begged her to stay.

This enthusiastic and lively woman helped him resolve the conflict between him and his children, brought music back to the family, and ...... Her attitude also invisibly infected the colonel.

"Brother Shen!"

"Hmm!"

Shen Changqing walked on the road, and when he met someone he knew well, he would say hello to each other or nod his head.

But it doesn't matter who it is.

There was no superfluous expression on everyone's face, as if they were very indifferent to everything.

on this.

Shen Changqing is used to it.

Because this is the Demon Suppression Division, it is an institution that maintains the stability of Great Qin, and its main responsibility is to kill demons and monsters, and of course there are some other side jobs.

Arguably.

In the Demon Suppression Division, everyone has a lot of blood on their hands.

When a person is accustomed to seeing life and death, then he will become indifferent to many things.

When he first came to this world, Shen Changqing was a little uncomfortable, but over time he got used to it.

The Demon Suppression Division is huge.

The people who can stay in the Demon Suppression Division are all powerful masters, or people who have the potential to become masters.

Shen Changqing belongs to the latter.

Among them, the Demon Suppression Division is divided into two professions, one is the town guard and the other is the demon exterminator.

Anyone who enters the Demon Suppression Division starts with the lowest level of demon slayer.

Then step by step, he is expected to become a town guard.

Shen Changqing's predecessor was a trainee demon slayer in the Demon Suppression Division, and he was also the lowest level of the demon slayer envoys.

Have memories of the predecessor.

He is also very familiar with the environment of the Demon Suppression Division.

It didn't take long for Shen Changqing to stop in front of an attic.

Unlike other places full of slaughter, the attic here seems to stand out from the crowd, and in the bloody Demon Suppression Division, it presents a different tranquility.

At this time, the attic door is open, and there are occasional people entering and exiting.

Shen Changqing only hesitated for a moment, and then stepped in.

Access to the attic.

The environment has changed in vain.

A burst of ink fragrance mixed with the faint smell of blood came to his face, making his brow furrow instinctively, but quickly stretched.

The smell of blood on everyone's body in the Demon Suppression Division is almost impossible to clean.
