Chapter Forty-Eight: Still Not Acting
As soon as Lin Qiang's words came out, not only the impulsive soldiers just now, but also a few people in the audience who were eager to try and want to rush to the stage to beat the actors, they were all guilty, and their heads were deeply lowered.
Lin Qiang slowed down, coughed, and continued, "Brothers." We are faced with a harsh reality. This world is a world of magicians who sit over our heads, acting as a blessing. Those of us who don't know magic, no matter how hard we work and how humble we are, as long as we don't have talent, we will never get ahead. ”
Lin Qiang's fat finger pointed at the audience: "You, I recognize you." Your family lost three people in that catastrophe, and now only you and your daughter are left to rely on each other. You, I also recognize, you worked so hard that you finally became the vice-captain, and as a result, the whole family died on that night of slaughter. And you, you..."As Lin Qiang reported everyone's family situation like a few treasures, these people had infinite sadness in their hearts, and there was also a trace of being moved.
Lin Qiang shook his head and continued: "But, sad, we can't indulge in this thing. We need to turn our hatred into motivation for us to move forward. Today, the purpose of arranging this drama is precisely that, we face up to this dripping reality, and then it is to change. Those of us who don't know magic have to join the group to keep warm and help each other in the same boat. One day, these nobles, these evil magicians, will roll off our heads and fall into the dirt. We also need to be in charge! ”
Lin Qiang shouted, his hand raised high. Although everyone did not say a word, it was visible that one, two, three, and then a large number of people also raised their hands high. Finally, they let out a cry that resounded through the sky.
Han Xu and Duan Lingzi glanced at each other and said, "Don't say it, Lin Qiang is really suitable for giving a speech." Duan Lingzi also nodded and said, "Indeed, his words are very inspiring, and they can speak to the hearts of the people." ”
Tsuneishi said with a deep gaze: "You say he is inciting, it's a little bit." But what is wrong with what he said? The eyes of several people at the table were attracted by Tsuneishi, who looked at the raised fists and muttered, "Isn't this the world we came from?" There should be no one in this world who rides on the head of others to be powerful, equality, no matter where it is, it is people's desire. ”
"Who's to say it isn't." Liang Shuopeng also nodded, raised his wine glass and said, "Brothers, let's go one." In the future, it seems that the burden on your shoulders will be heavier. ”
"It's okay, let's work together." Zhao Huiying also stood up and raised her glass. Numerous cups came together and clattered gently.
After a long time, the people of the mine finally sat down after Lin Qiang put down his hand and stood silently in place. They quietly looked at Lin Qiang on stage, as well as the actors who were also excited, but also a little overwhelmed.
Lin Qiang knocked on the speaker in front of him, tried his voice and said, "So, I want to ask everyone." Is this play still acting? ”
There was silence, but in an instant someone shouted: "Act! Go on! Then the voices joined together.
Lin Qiang nodded, stretched out his hand and made a downward gesture, and then said, "Okay, let's ask the actors to continue the performance." However, everyone must remember that turning grief into their own strength to move forward. And after the play, he encouraged the actors on stage with applause. After Lin Qiang said this, he jumped off the stage in front of everyone, and then motioned to the actors on the stage to continue performing.
Another few dozen minutes passed, but many felt like a moment. Most people in this world haven't seen a show, and the people of these mines are one of them. They watched intently, watching the ups and downs of the plot, but they finally calmed down, but the impact of this drama on them was far-reaching.
Different from the original version, at the end of the play, an army composed of people who don't know magic knocks down the arrogant guards before and "nails" the magician on the stage. It caused thunderous applause from the audience, and some of the audience stood up and applauded, with tears in their eyes.
"Brother Qiang, isn't the ending a little too optimistic. Can we have such a day? Zhao Huiying asked in a low voice.
Lin Qiang nodded, shook his head again, looked at the actors on the stage curtain call and said, "Yes, but the road must be very difficult." But we have to make it happen. For ourselves, and for the people around us who support us. ”
After the Spring Festival party, Lin Qiang gave the people of the mine a day off. Then production resumed. Due to the overwhelming response to the play. Through the crowd, I also saw the power that this form of drama brings to the people. Now the mine is a single rest system, and every rest day, a play "The Evil Magician Master" will be staged again, and there are quite a lot of onlookers every time.
Zhao Huiying's propaganda team has also expanded from simply painting posters and posters to arranging dramas and performances. Of course, the new script can only be handed over to Lin Qiang, who used to be a Chinese teacher, after all, it was also the first thing he initiated, and Lin Qiang happily took over this task.
Robin was also deeply influenced by these stage plays and dramas, and deliberately took the open-air square and the big stage in the village as the core, redesigned and planned the viewing area, seats, and carefully set up a metal ceiling for the stage and auditorium to prevent rain. Of course, the materials are naturally made in blacksmiths and production workshops.
It was a lot of work, but when the workers heard that they were going to renovate the big stage and add seats for the play, they were full of enthusiasm and it didn't take many days to get it done.
It's just that with the advancement of the drama and the deepening of the publicity, Zhao Huiying, as well as Duan Lingzi and Han Xu, who are secretly poking and prodding intelligence work, also quietly reflected a problem to Lin Qiang.
That is, there are still some old people in the mine who are pessimistic, thinking that although they are well acted in the drama, the mine is now dying in the face of magicians, and those powerful magicians are not able to fight against the mine.
The elderly, no matter what world they live in, are in the majority conservatives. Conservatives don't mean old-fashioned, and they're not necessarily bad. After all, people live a long life, and they appreciate stability rather than radicalism.
However, in the end, these negative thoughts are not good for the mine's uplifting spirit in the long run, and can even play a great counterproductive role.
Zhao Huiying usually just said something, but Han Xu and Duan Lingzi thought about it more, especially Duan Lingzi, who was from a psychological background. Duan Lingzi once said to Lin Qiang: "People's hearts are flowers that fall without the wind." As long as there are different voices, it will soon spread far and wide. In the end, a certain influence will be formed, which will produce a herd mentality. ”
Han Xu also said that it is necessary to intervene in this situation in a timely manner.
And after Lin Qiang thought about it for a while, he could only stand still. These old people, it is absolutely impossible to lock them up. What I want is to lead my little friends, as well as the people who believe in me, to be equal, and to live well.
Since we talk about equality, we have to tolerate different voices. It's just that I'm worried that I can't beat it, and if I hold pessimistic thoughts, I can't tolerate it, so what will I become?
But if you want to solve it, it's also very difficult. Lin Qiang thought in his heart, if he wanted to solve it, there was actually a way, but he and the mine only owed an east wind.
However, it has to be said that his luck, or the luck of the people in the mines, is not bad. It didn't take long for the east wind to come. On this day, Thompson pulled another convoy to the mine after many days. He has become addicted to doing business with mines, because although these things cannot be traded openly, most of them can only be sold cautiously on the black market. However, the sales of these goods in the mine are too good, and the profits are too high.
Not to mention weapons, it was purchased by the senior leaders of the merchant group at a high price, and then immediately equipped with the personal guard of the senior leaders of the merchant group. said that he secretly sold the sulfonamide pill, but no one bought it at first, but then he called him thirty-seven twenty-one, and said that it was a new product refined by a high-level alchemy magician, and he sold it.
Hey, now this thing is hard to find, I don't even need to hoard it, and the medicine will be grabbed at a high price as soon as it appears.
And today, he is confident that he will definitely be able to add a higher score in Lin Qiang's heart, because he really helped him this time!
After an inventory of several posts on the mine trail, Thompson's caravan entered the mine without incident. I have to say that now under the deployment of Tsuneishi and Yan Xiaohuan, the mine's mine protection team is becoming more and more professional, and the sentry posts set up are becoming more and more thorough. Thompson was a little frightened.
After entering the mining village, Han Xu and the others in the canteen had already been waiting for a long time. Thompson instructed his men to pull several carts of goods and follow Han Xu and their men to the side of the mine where the supplies were stored. He drove a slightly smaller carriage, beckoned Han Xu over, put his ear to Han Xu, and whispered a few words.
Because when she first arrived in this world, only Han Xu could speak the language of this world, and she and Thompson were the first to communicate. In addition, the business during this period of time was connected by her and Thompson, so she also became familiar with Thompson. She had no objection to the fat man slamming close to her.
But when she heard what came out of Thompson's mouth, she flashed a few steps to the side in fright, and said, "No, what are you talking about?" You're pulling it in this car..."
Thompson's expression changed greatly, and he hurriedly beckoned her to lower his voice and said, "Be quiet, be quiet, don't say it." ”
Han Xu's expression changed, and she finally calmed down, she lowered her voice and said, "It's not big brother, what do you think." Where did you come from, aren't you afraid of blowing up in the middle of the road? ”
