On the stage, the drama has begun.
If we had to compare the differences between the Fangyuan Theater and theaters in amusement parks, it would probably be that the equipment in the Fangyuan Theater is relatively new and the stage lighting effect is particularly good.
The dramas have ranged from fairy tales like "The Fairy's Match" to "The Legend of the Princess" about rebirth and revenge. Of course, the hardware facilities must also be improved.
When Wang Xinghua was still alive, some of their large theaters had already begun to innovate. They introduced smoke, wire, mirror mechanisms and other devices on the stage, turning the opera into a mechanism show. Now it seems that it is indeed a mess.
It was strange, but people at the time thought it was strange.
When it comes to theater, regardless of singing and acting skills, the more bizarre the stage special effects, the better, and the more flashy, the better.
It is said that Team Leader Wang also wanted to introduce a wire device before, and asked Wu Sheng to hang a wire or something, but later gave up because it was too expensive. Of course, the theater before renovation had already introduced a wire device, and Feng Ling had to fly out of the sky to sing "The Fairy's Match"
.
Compared with the Amusement Park Theater, which is basically a standard old theater from more than 100 years ago, the facilities of the Fangyuan Theater are much better.
As soon as the lights came on, Feng Ling, who was pressed on the stage with messy hair, disheveled clothes and a haggard expression, looked extremely thin, pitiful, weak and helpless.
Facing the eunuch played by Master Feng and Feng Qinghua, who had gained a little weight due to good food and not much practice during this period, Feng Ling made him look particularly pitiable without opening a word.
Before the plot even started, an old woman sitting in the fifth row said with emotion: "Poor child, he was tortured by the eunuch right from the beginning."
Jiang Qi sat quietly in the middle of the first row, looking up at the stage.
He has watched "The Legend of the Princess" many times. At the beginning of the scene where the two eunuchs sacrifice the princess to death and explain the plot summary, he can recite the words without having to watch it.
Jiang Qi could tell that head teacher Feng was a little nervous, but Feng Qinghua was okay. The father and son were standing in the center of the stage in slightly tight eunuch costumes, with sullen faces and a sense of joy.
Jiang Qi silently recited in his heart: 1, 2, 3...
"Your Majesty's oral message: The five princesses disguised themselves as men and pretended to be princes. They deceived the emperor and rebelled against their superiors. They are guilty of crimes that cannot be punished. Your Majesty..."
Accompanied by the sharp and mean voice of Leader Feng, the first performance of "The Legend of the Princess" in the Magic City officially began.
What Jiang Qi didn't know was that in today's performance of "The Princess", not only did Ms. Yao lead all the members of the Fangyuan Theater troupe to support her, but Yang Chaoge, who was theoretically in the office, was also standing in the corner of the back door, together with Yang Chaoge.
And Manager Zhu from the drama department.
Unlike the drama department, which hangs around Theater No. 3 all year round and has to recruit reinforcements when it falls to Theater No. 5, the Drama Department is the leader of the Fangyuan Theater. It occupies Theater No. 2 all the year round, and occasionally squeezes into Theater No. 1, and the ticket price is the same.
It's twice the price of a theater ticket, so it's very impressive.
Yang Chaoge and Manager Zhu stood at the door like doormen, holding their elbows in exactly the same posture, staring at the stage intently.
There was silence in the auditorium.
The process on the stage was very fast, and the princess was sentenced to death very quickly. The curtain was raised, and the audience was still a little confused and confused about the situation. They were confused and thinking, shouldn't the princess be the protagonist? Why did she die at the beginning?
Could it be that this drama is performed using flashback? Is it possible to act like this? What a fool!
Soon, the curtain opened again, and the dashing princess appeared on the stage alive, dressed in men's clothing, and began to sing.
Jiang Qi in the first row was slightly distracted.
His heart was divided into two halves, one half was placed on the stage to pay attention to what was happening on the stage, and the other half was placed in the auditorium to observe the reactions of the audience present.
After watching the show for so long, Jiang Qi now considers himself a modern person who knows a little bit about acting, so he is not worried that the audience will not be able to understand the rebirth of the princess, even if more than half of the audience present are gray-haired
elder.
People who have never seen a opera may think that theater fans cannot accept such novel themes. Most people’s understanding of operas is limited to immortal love, gold list title, scholar and lady, loving mother and filial son, evil mother-in-law and
On the combination of the bitter daughter-in-law.
But in fact, the content of opera is far richer than these.
During the feudal dynasty, there would be plots like "Meng Lijun" in which a woman disguises herself as a man to take the first prize, and the soul exchange, which is only slightly inferior to the rebirth and revenge, has been written badly long ago.
"The Legend of the Princess" is a standard lower-level drama. Wang Xinghua and Feng Ling believed that it was an easy-to-understand drama that common people of their time could easily understand. It can also be understood in today's society.
Jiang Qi is worried that the audience will not be able to accept the fast pace of "The Legend of the Princess".
The plot of bending down to pick up a pen and then not being able to understand what the math teacher on the podium is saying when you look up can not only happen in a high-level math class, but it can also happen in the audience of "The Princess".
If you go to the restroom in the middle of a performance, you may find when you come back that the villain from the previous scene has passed away.
If there is a queue for the toilet and the queue lasts for 10 minutes, there will probably be three different villains when you come back.
Push the mobs flatly, it's so fast.
Wang Xinghua firmly believes that a truly enjoyable novel should be enjoyable from beginning to end.
"The Legend of the Princess" is only two hours in total, and there is no time to include the plot of being a lowly person and being criticized. The essence of this drama is to bravely enter the novice village with a full-level queen, and the heroine is holding her own level 99 divine sword.
A meal of chopping melons and vegetables.
At the beginning, Feng Zhiqiu would glance at her phone to reply a message to her friend. When the princess on the stage finished pushing the second boss, even though the phone in Feng Zhiqiu's hand had vibrated and turned into a timer, she didn't even look at it.
Manager Zhu beside the door already wanted to move two rows forward.
"This little girl's acting is really good." Although Manager Zhu is the manager of the drama department, he knows acting, otherwise he would not be standing by the door with Yang Chaoge as a guard.
"Yeah, that's great." Yang Chaoge said blankly.
Now her mind was completely blank, her eyes were full of the drama on the stage, and her brain could not spare any extra space to think about other things.
She was now filled with only one thought.
Found a treasure!
It's really a treasure found.
Yang Chaoge is not a fool. As the opera department manager of Fangyuan Theater, she must know opera. Sometimes Fangyuan Theater is lucky enough to invite some famous drama actors to sing in operas. Yang Chaoge will spare time to buy a good seat at his own expense.
Sit and watch.
She originally didn't want to see the whole show today, she just wanted to see the performance.
Now Yang Chaoge regrets it.
What a crappy place it is next to the door, with its corners so far away that you can only look at the stage sideways.
The position in the corner sells for 80, and the position by the door is worth up to 40.
No, this shitty place isn't even worth 40. It's better to hang yourself on a rope and get a ticket.
"This show is going to be a big hit." Manager Zhu said decisively, "You'd better go back and apply to the boss today for an extra show. Apply for Monday night's show first. This show is going to be huge."
"This little girl is incredible."
nonsense!
Yang Chaoge said silently in his heart, thinking that you would use me to deal with this kind of thing as a hindsight.
What does it mean to apply for performances on Monday night first? Yang Chaoge said that she would make a report when she got back and apply for all the performances from Monday to Thursday nights, and then continue to perform on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
Her good niece Yang Qing told her that this troupe puts on big plays every night in the amusement park. People come all the way to the Magic City, so they can't neglect it. They must have the same standards every night.
play!
As for sharing...
Yang Chaoge lightly tapped his foot in distress, wondering if Boss Jiang would agree to the increase to 60%.
After the performance today, Yang Chaoge feels that there is no problem with the tickets for Saturday and Sunday. They will definitely be sold out. Even if they are not sold out, more than 90% of them will be sold.
It would be unreasonable if this show was not popular.
Although there are fewer people going to the theater these days, it is not impossible. Given the population base of the Magic City, you can still find hundreds of thousands of people going to the theater.
It's really a good show. It's passed on to everyone, friends are called, and the circle of friends is posted, but the tickets are still not sold?
If you're lucky, you might be able to go to Theater 2 for a performance.
Theater No. 2 has more than 500 seats!
By then, their opera department will be the same department that has performed in Theater No. 2, and they can feel proud for once.
This year’s year-end commendation must go to the drama department!
All this is thanks to my good niece!
Yang Chaoge thought with joy that if Yang Qing hadn't been talking about the theater in Galaxy Play Theme Park in her ears every day, how good Little Bailing's singing was, how good Manager Wang was at writing play scripts, and how enthusiastic the audience's response was, she wouldn't have known it.
I was tempted and contacted Yin Fei and asked her to be the intermediary to contact Jiang Qi.
Today's Fangyuan Theater No. 3 Theater would not have such a good show.
It's really good luck.
Manager Zhu glanced at Yang Chaoge, who was beaming with joy, and thought to himself what kind of sweet dream Yang Chaoge was having. He didn't even want to watch the show on stage. He was really dishonest.
Unlike him, he only focuses on the little lark.
The Little Bailing light sign brought by the audience in the seventh row is really good, and Manager Zhu thinks he should get one too.
Tomorrow I will buy a ticket for the middle seat in the third row and get a big light sign with bright yellow characters. Hold it up during the curtain call so Little Bailing will be able to see it at a glance.
By the way, what is the name of Little Bailing?
"Sister Yang, what's the name of Little Bailing?" Manager Zhu asked.
"The little lark is called..." Yang Chaoge was stunned and yelled, what is the little lark called?
"Hey... how about I ask you after it's over?" Yang Chaoge scratched his head in embarrassment, "Or we can go directly to the backstage and get an autograph and a photo together."
"Good!" Manager Zhu nodded and continued to focus on the stage.
.
Unlike standing at the back door far away from the auditorium, the angle is not good and the viewing experience is very bad, so I can occasionally chat with Yang Chaoge and Manager Zhu while being distracted. The audience who have bought tickets and are in the auditorium can't even talk to each other.
There is no time.
Some of the grandparents, who had gray hair and bad eyesight and had to wear reading glasses every day, stared at the stage with slightly squinted eyes, not even daring to blink more. They were concentrating and concentrating, not daring to be distracted for a moment.
These old theater fans who have watched theaters for more than ten or even decades rarely have such a theater experience anymore.
Nowadays, there are very few new plays. Not only are few people willing to write new plays, but even if the quality is not as good as those classic old plays, no one will sing them. The decline of opera is comprehensive. For these old theater fans, the plays they watch are basically
You can always tell what the next line will be when you close your eyes.
Just look at the name and you'll know what it's about.
This is why the elderly group headed by Grandma Nangong can always live near the amusement park and go to watch the same play every day for more than half a month, because they are used to watching plays like this.
For them, the content of the play is no longer important. What is important is the singing skills of the opera actors, the performances of the opera actors, and the expressions of the opera actors. Therefore, they can be very leisurely and not concentrate when watching the opera.
Watch or even listen with your eyes closed.
But "The Legend of the Princess" is different, this is a new play.
Brand new plot, brand new experience.
Super large capacity, great value for enjoyment.
These elderly viewers only regret that they only have two eyes and two ears, and they cannot take into account the plot and performance very well at the same time.
The little girl singing the title role of "Emperor" on the stage is simply a pearl.
No matter it's body, appearance, singing, or action, there is no choice. If you miss any wonderful moment, you will regret it until you hit the bed in the middle of the night and slap yourself in the face.
What a great show, how could you miss it?
These tolerant and picky audiences have not had such an enjoyable, calm and immersive theater experience for a long time.
The drama on stage has come to an end.
The princess ascends the throne.
The eunuchs played by Master Feng and Feng Qinghua turned into the most loyal henchmen of the princess and stood up straight. The cannon fodder monsters who were once defeated by the princess changed their clothes and appearance and transformed into ministers, standing respectfully on the stage, which was full of people.
The whole stage.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"
The extras shouted out their last lines of the scene.
Some of the audience in the audience could no longer contain their excitement and began to applaud crazily.
From sparse applause to warm applause, Jiang Qi, who was sitting in the first row, always felt that something was missing.
Feng Ling on the stage also seemed to feel that something was almost wrong and deliberately did not finish.
At this moment, Jiang Qi understood.
Jiang Qi took a deep breath and was about to shout. Two loud and clear shouts came from the 7th and 5th rows, and even had a little bit of a broken voice: "Long live the emperor, long live the emperor -"
The members of the Fangyuan Theater troupe who failed in their entrustment immediately realized what they had learned and shouted in unison at the top of their lungs: "Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor!"
Feng Zhiqiu and the atmosphere team she brought also understood and echoed from the front row.
By the end, the audience's cheers could almost lift the roof, and a faint echo could still be heard.
Feng Ling nodded slightly with satisfaction. He did not look at the ministers, but turned his gaze to the auditorium and said loudly: "You will be excused from the ceremony."
The play ends.
"Okay!" an old man cheered enthusiastically.
"Little Bailing, I love you!!!" the girl in row 7 shouted while holding a light sign.
"Little Bailing, I love you too!" The girl in row 5 also raised the light sign.
"I love you more!"
"I love you most!"
The whole audience laughed, and all the actors came on stage to take their curtain call.
Jiang Qi was sitting in the first row and heard an old man in the back row say in a loud voice: "That little girl lifts something very good and eye-catching. I'll get one tomorrow too."
Jiang Qi:……
There were more than one uncle and aunt who made similar remarks, and Manager Zhu and Yang Chaoge at the door also heard it.
Manager Zhu smiled and said: "If this trend continues, if our theater makes a batch of light signs and sells them at the ticket gate, we might earn more than the ticket price."
Manager Zhu’s words were unintentional, but Yang Chaoge’s listeners were attentive. Yang Chaoge looked at the young spectators in the 5th, 7th, and 8th rows who were obviously producing the same light boards with the same style, and fell into deep thought.
At the entrance of Theater No. 3, there were several audience members who had just finished watching the play and were squatting at the door curiously.
"What's playing in Theater No. 3 today?"
"I don't know, I heard everyone inside shouting long live my emperor, long live my emperor. What kind of performance is this? It's so interesting, and there is an emperor."
"It seems like you are still clapping. How long have you been cheering for?"
"It's been more than three minutes, right?"
"Oh my God, how wonderful this is."
Chapter completed!
