Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Only the fluorescent stone lamp plate at the stage remains, forming a small ring of lighting that focuses the stage and allows the audience to see more clearly.
Fluorescent stones that make up a lamp disk need at least dozens of them, fluorescent stones are always light, generally lasting for three months, but usually the light is most abundant in the first month, and then it will become more and more dim. Their own lighting will always be used even if it is dim, but the theater is not good, the ring lighting formed by the lamp plate should make the stage always become the focus, and sometimes the performance of the drama also has to express some content with the help of different lights, so the lamp plate of the theater usually has to be kept the brightest, and the state of each fluorescent stone is consistent.
Although fluorescent stone is only a kind of alchemical material that is not too expensive, and the underground reserves are extremely rich, it only needs to be mined, and it is not even used for alchemical treatment, and it is stored in clear water for more than two days, when the impurities in it disappear, it will naturally light until the light energy in it is exhausted, and it will turn back into an inconspicuous stone.
However, the amount of fluorescent stones needed to set up the theater is quite large, and it is also a lot of expense to consume it all the time.
As soon as the wood elves entered the theater, the lamp plate was already slowly being pulled up, and the light around them was slowly turning from bright to dim.
Wang Qinian hurriedly led them to find a place and sit down, but the wood elves were shocked by the starry scene on the dome, as if they had the illusion of returning to the wilderness and looking up at the starry sky.
"Why are we here, and what are you taking us to see?" asked Wang Qinian vigilantly, unbewildered by the lights of the Grand Theater.
"This is the stage for the show. I have brought you here because I have a plan for the future, and I hope you will participate in it, which will bring wealth and at the same time enable you to stand here in your own power. Of course, if you fail, there is still a way to go, and I can recommend you to the lord here, you can join his army and become a good archer, and you can even become a good archery instructor. ”
"No, I don't want to serve you Terrans, I don't want to get involved in your internal strife, and I don't want to point the arrow at someone else. Ciri refused.
"Then you'll have to look at it more carefully in a moment. Wang Qinian shrugged, "My plan doesn't require you to be robbers, nor do you need to kill people, you are even helping people, because you will bring joy to others." ”
Ciri was skeptical, and the light plate was pulled up completely, but the light plate near the top of the stage hung down, and the distance was brought closer, making the framed stage seem like daylight.
You can clearly see the situation on the stage, the stage adopts a side piece set system, the curtain and the back curtain are painted with a variety of different images, forming an interior scene, planting a rich background, and the theater can be adjusted and changed through guò stage machinery like a lamp plate. With the appearance of a beautiful and tall actress on stage, the drama officially begins. The play, called Song of Heaven, is the most common religious drama and tells the story of Orlandor, a Terran woman, who grows from a maid enslaved by the High Elves to a saint. Drama also originated in the ancient elf empire, and the legend evolved from the song and dance in the ritual of the high elves to worship the sun god and the moon god, so the original drama of the high elves came from the myths and legends of the sun god and the moon god, describing how they maintained world peace, drove the evil race underground, subdued the evil dragon, and so on. When the High Elves retreated, the Terrans inherited the art and exhibited it, but more often in the form of religious dramas.
The so-called religious drama is the big churches like the Church of Light and the Church of the God of War, who integrate the ideas and culture of their respective religions into the drama, and use guò theatrical performances to spread faith and promote the greatness of the gods they believe in.
Song of Heaven is such a religious drama, the plot is now in the period when the High Elves retreated, telling the story of the gods of the heavenly realm who guided the Terrans to create the Church of Light, and the Church of Light defeated the High Elves together with the major Terran rebels, and the Terran woman Orlandora was thus liberated. But her predicament was not relieved, because soon the Terrans and the orcs were at war again, and Orlandol was betrayed by an unfaithful woman and was taken captive by the orcs and subjected to cruel treatment, but she always maintained her faith in the gods of the heavenly realm, and finally escaped from the clutches of the orcs under the guidance of the gods, returned to the church, and was sublimated and became a saint.
Playing Orlandol is Jenny, a pillar of the Daffodil Theatre Company, who brings Orlandol to life on stage, to the amazement of the audience.
The Church of Light has the strictest attitude towards drama in the church of the human race, initially thinking that drama will make people corrupt, but later changed its attitude, thinking that since it is impossible to eliminate the devil, it can also use the devil and inspire the devil, so there is a religious drama.
Other churches also used drama to serve the spread of their faith, and religious drama became one of the main genres of drama.
But this kind of repertoire, no matter how far-fetched the content, always serves religion and belief, and it is tiresome to watch it, and even the devout believers will feel as if something is missing.
So there were people who wanted to change, for example, the opera that was being promoted by the city federation, which used a unique way of singing to express the dialogue of the characters, combining the feelings that should be contained in the dialogue of the characters in the plot with the beautiful singing, this form of drama is now highly regarded as soon as it was born, and the admirers believe that even the high elves are likely to accept this art form, it is the ultimate in elegance, the flower of drama.
Unfortunately, this art form also requires much higher requirements for actors than ordinary dramas, because it requires not only a rich talent for theatrical performance, but also a very high musical performance, and more importantly, the ability to be combined.
"Are they actors?" the words suddenly popped out of Ciri's mouth, and she suddenly understood what Wang Qinian was bringing the wood elves to see.
Drama originated from the sacrificial rituals of the high elves, in which there will be a so-called actor, that is, the selected elves dress up as all things in the world, in the name of all things, in the sacrificial activities to the god of the sun, the moon and the world tree to express reverence and pray for blessings, this is the actor.
Although the wood elves are only low-level bloodlines among the elves, they still know about these, but after a thousand years, the elves who are still left on this big 6 have retreated under the repeated invasion of the orcs and humans, and the area that can be controlled is getting smaller and smaller, and there is no longer the grand scene that it used to be.
"I see, you're using the actor to make money!" said Ciri, surprised and shocked.
"Well, that's pretty much it. Wang Qinian said lightly.
A flash of anger flashed in Ciri's eyes, and he stopped talking, and the other wood elves frowned as they watched the performance on stage, describing the High Elves as demonic beings who enslaved the races, while the Church of Light was like a savior, the Terrans were victims, and the orcs were accomplices and traitors.
"It's so shameless, how can this be?"
"It's completely upside down!"
"Oh my God, it's a different history than the elders told me, and we're the victims. ”
The wood elves muttered quietly, and Wang Qinian made a booing motion, "Don't make noise now, no matter how angry you are, how much you don't understand, remember, now that you are in the territory of the human race, you can't protect yourself, and you have to feed yourself." I'll talk to you when I get back, but now you'll have to be honest, I have an important thing to do, and I'll go back with Old John after watching the play in a while. ”

The door to the theater's dressing room was pushed open, and Catherine, the actor who betrayed Orlandol and played the faithless woman in the Song of Heaven, walked in.
The door was slammed shut, and the room was empty.
She patted her body, and even though there was no dust in reality, she couldn't help but do it, because just now, she was duly punished as a villain in the play, and according to the plot, she finally melted into a puddle of water.
She walked to the glass of the changing mirror, where the man was handsome, with a full chest, blonde hair, large, bright eyes, a tall, straight nose, and seductive cherry lips.
"Catherine, how long are you going to wait?" she whispered.
From the day she became a theater actress, Catherine wanted to get ahead, but she always played a supporting role, and Jenny, the pillar of daffodils, kept pressing on her head.
She is confident that her acting skills are not worse than hers, and her beauty is not inferior to that of the other party, but it is completely useless, because when she entered the industry, people were already famous, and when she changed from playing the role of a maid to playing a villain or supporting role, Jenny has become the number one actress in Daffodil.
"Who?" said Catherine, who felt sorry for herself in the mirror.
There was a woman in a black short coat and trousers, wearing men's clothes, she was actually not inferior in beauty to Catherine or Jenny in the room, even if she was dressed as a man, she gave people a strange beauty.
But at this time, her face was not good, and she knocked heavily on the door of the dressing room with the knuckle of the middle finger of her left hand, and then before Catherine could speak, she walked in front of Catherine.
When Catherine saw her, her face was a little unnatural, she turned her eyes to the side, and said in a low voice, "Captain Lizi, is there something wrong?"
"Catherine, are you really going to go against me?" said Lizzy, the head of the Daffodil Theatre Troupe.
Catherine's face turned pale, "I don't understand what you mean. ”
"I don't understand what I mean, okay, then let me tell you about your table just now, just now according to the rehearsal, it should be that you fell to the ground immediately after the divine punishment was generated, shaking your blue skirt, indicating that you are turning into a puddle of water. But what have you done? You added lines of your own accord, and after the punishment of God, you struggled to confess to Jenny and pray to God. ”
