The Holy Light Royal Opera House, which can accommodate 60,000 people, was packed tonight. Even so, there were still a large number of civilians and nobles staying on the street outside the theater, hoping that after someone left the theater early, they could go in and grab a seat.
"That's it, that's it. One day, my toffee will be able to attract so many viewers by relying on its own fame!"
Madeline, who was staying backstage, was extremely excited when she saw so many spectators. Even the members of the group looked nervous and excited.
"Fortunately, what I prepared was not an opera, otherwise today would be over!"
After all, Madeleine is a third-rate opera troupe. The members have never experienced such a big scene. Let alone singing, even speaking is out of tune. On the other hand, the bald leader of the Black Swan has performed for the Saint Laurent royal family.
The large troupe is calm and composed, and the people live up to their name, as graceful as swans in the lake.
"The big shots are all in place, do you want to start the show early?"
The leader of the Xieding group came over and saw that the group was not ready yet. He didn't bother to hide the disdain on his face. How dare this kind of troupe compete with him?
"Can!"
Madeleine is fearless.
"I won't be polite about that one!"
When the bald leader was about to leave, Madeleine stopped him, "Wait, what do you mean, you want to perform first?"
"Is it possible that it's still you? In terms of fame and scale, my Black Swan is the biggest. Most of the audience present today are here to see us, so naturally we come first!"
"That's right if you say so!"
Not to be outdone, Madeleine counterattacked. An opera generally takes about two hours, and people's energy is limited. If the Black Swan is allowed to finish, someone might leave the stage.
"Since we have to warm up first, why not use a competition to decide who will perform first?" The bald group leader was not surprised by Madeleine's reaction. "How about winning two out of three games?"
"Damn it, you already planned it, right?"
Madeleine was very angry. The bald leader didn't take her seriously at all. He said he would win two out of three games just to show off his Black Swan strength. After all, in addition to opera, the opera troupe also had dance, solo, and symphony.
Such a performance, at such a moment when everyone is watching, I naturally want to perform more.
"So what?" Head Xie Ding shrugged, "Honestly, you bastard troupe are not worthy of being my opponent at all!"
"What did you say?"
"Looking for death!"
"beat him!"
The group members were furious.
"Calm down, he is deliberately irritating you!"
Downton quickly yelled to stop them. These people were not good enough to begin with, and they would be even worse if they lost their composure.
"Okay, I'll compete with you!"
Madeleine bit the toffee until it made a loud crunching sound.
"Don't run away!"
The bald leader left, pointing his index finger at Madeline with a playful look on his face.
"Damn, I really want to smash his face, but I have to say, Downton, you have thought very carefully. This time it is Jackson's turn to appear!"
"Let's go, leave this place to them. Let's go to the front court!"
Downton comforts Madeleine.
In front of the opera house, the big names were excluded, and some seats were reserved for the two opera troupes to entertain their relatives and friends.
Sissi declined the invitations of several rich talkers and sat on Toffee's territory. This scene made many aristocratic children exclaim. Because it silently proved those rumors, the indigenous Duke was indeed her scandal.
Boyfriend!
"Gentlemen and goddesses, everyone must be impatiently looking forward to the duel between the two opera troupes Black Swan and Toffee, but before it starts, both sides will pass a competition to decide which one will perform first!"
The sweet voice of the beautiful female announcer was clearly spread throughout the audience with the magic amplifier!
"The first scene, please enjoy, Black Swan's "Dance on the Moon River"!"
The curtain was not closed because the Black Swan dance troupe did not need to stand in advance. Just when the audience was wondering why the accompaniment had not started yet, the sound of tap! tap! tap! started from soft to loud, and soon swept the whole room.
field.
"It's tap dancing!"
Someone called out.
Pairs of men and women holding each other's arms appeared from the background. Their upper bodies were straight and their feet made a rhythmic sound every time they stepped on the ground.
The accompaniment suddenly roared, like a rushing river, taking over people's momentum in an instant.
"You are in trouble, they danced wonderfully!"
Sissi reminded her in a low voice that compared to a rookie like Downton who didn't understand the art of tap dancing at all, the princess had received professional training.
These dancers have strong bodies and uniform movements, and their expressions change one by one as the dance plot develops.
Commoners can't understand this, but this does not prevent them from admiring it. Forget about the men, the female dancers are wearing black stockings, wrapped around their slender legs, exuding an alluring luster as the lights shine.
, they were wearing short skirts, and every time they bounced, the hem of the skirt would flutter, revealing the briefs underneath.
Their upper bodies were also in tight clothes, and as they jumped, pairs of plump breasts swayed, making it impossible for men to take their eyes away.
The music is getting faster and faster, and the dancers are jumping faster and faster. During the jump, they are arranged in various patterns, which is extremely dazzling.
"Isn't this too illegal? If I had known earlier, I would have found a group of dancers to do a strip dance!"
As soon as Downton finished complaining, Madeline and Sissy rolled their eyes, and even Celes had a reproachful look on her face.
"This is art!" Homer was speechless, "Can you stop looking at them in such a vulgar light?"
"Then what perspective are you using? I don't see the point of jumping like this anyway. I just feel that those big breasts and beautiful black stocking legs are making me uncomfortable!"
Downton looked depressed. He really didn't understand the beauty of raising his legs like this, which made the whole audience excited. Is it just to reveal his underwear?
"You're totally hopeless!"
Homer complained and decided not to discuss this with Downton in the future. This guy's artistic instincts have long since died.
After the song "Dance on the Moon River" was danced, many men ran to the toilet amidst violent applause, and most of them were civilians. There was no way, they had never seen such a show before and they were so stimulated that they needed to
Let off some steam.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The whole hall burst into warm applause as the dancers thanked and left the stage.
There are many magic chandeliers hung on the walls on the left and right sides of the opera house, as well as on the ceiling. In addition to being used for lighting, their brightness will also change according to changes in sound waves.
The louder the applause, the louder the screams, and the brighter the lights. With the development of opera now, various supporting facilities have been very complete, and lights as bright as day are the greatest compliment to an opera troupe.
“Perfect performance!”
The bald leader looked at the reaction at the scene. He waved excitedly towards Downton, full of provocation.
"Jackson, are you sure?"
Madeleine originally planned to let her song and dance troupe perform, but when she saw this scene, she gave up immediately. Black Swan was indeed well-deserved.
"No problem. Master, just look at our performance!"
Jackson put his hand on his forehead. He waved forward, gave a military salute, and then rushed backstage to summon his subordinates to prepare.
"Second performance, dance from the Toffee Opera Company, beat it!"
The announcer walked off the stage. As the curtain slowly lifted, the audience's eyes became wider and wider, because the costumes of these dancers were so unique.
Even fashion designers at the forefront of fashion have never seen this kind of costume. These dancers wear white gloves, white pointed leather shoes on their feet, and their lower bodies are in well-tailored trousers, paired with two
The one-button suit with a black texture makes them look very cool, but there is a white shirt underneath. Because of this contrasting color scheme, it creates a strong visual impact.
There are twenty-one dancers in total. They stand in a V-shaped attack formation. At this time, they all wear white hats with a black stripe on the edge. They lower their heads, put their left hands behind their backs, and extend their index fingers and thumbs on their right hands.
Put it on the brim of your hat.
"so cool!"
Some people couldn't help but shout out that Toffee's appearance can be scored full marks in terms of clothing and styling.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
When the drum beat sounded, all the dancers raised their heads, and Jackson, who was standing at the front, even picked up the loudspeaker and put it to his mouth and sang the first lyrics!
Wow!
No one cared what they heard. The moment they saw these guys raising their heads, everyone was dumbfounded because they were actually a group of ghouls.
"Are you kidding me?"
"I must be dazzled. When will the undead be able to perform on stage?"
"But it's so cool!"
The audience's shock was quickly overcome by the wonderful performance on the stage.
The lyrics are impactful, the rhythm is dynamic, and catchy. You can clearly feel a force pouring out, like a violent storm, sweeping the entire audience.
"Finally, I stand on the stage again!"
Looking at the audience in the audience, Jackson burst into tears. He had never told Downton that before he became a ghoul, he was the mainstay of the first opera troupe in mainland China and had a record of 182 world tours.
, it can still be ranked among the top three in the world.
When just beat, beat it sounded again, someone in the audience finally couldn't bear it anymore and started roaring. Even the nobles who had always been reserved couldn't help but shake their legs.
When Downton played this song, Jackson knew that this was a palace-level song, and paired with the dance, it would definitely set the world ablaze!
Jackson skillfully mobilized the audience's emotions, especially the guitar solo. When the exciting sound was made, all the ghouls leaned forward in unison, tilting directly to 45 degrees.
Wow!
In an instant, a huge scream tore through the hall. Most of the civilians who came this time were young people. Because only they had the energy and time, they were more receptive to new things.
"not enough!"
Jackson pulled the collar of his shirt in an unruly manner, put his right fingers on the brim of his hat, and moved his legs straight back without leaving the ground.
The ghouls followed later, also performing a moonwalk dance!
Wow! Wow! Wow!
There were louder screams and exclamations in the audience, one wave after another. They had never seen this kind of dance steps before. They were so cool. They seemed to have lost the restraints of gravity.
The bald captain also shook a few times, and then his back was soaked with cold sweat. He was actually affected by this fanatical atmosphere. He wanted to save it, but he had no energy left!
Not to mention this song, not to mention this gorgeous dance choreography, these new dance styles alone have made this ghoul dance troupe invincible.
Listen to the cheers at the scene, this kind of atmosphere can only be ignited by a palace-level orchestra!
As Jackson and his entourage left the stage, there were shocking applause, whistles, and shouts, and the magic lights on the surrounding walls burned brightly, which was several times more intense than the tap dance just now.
But there was no need to rely on the lights to judge, because after a brief shouting, the whole audience started shouting "encore".
The bald band leader broke into a cold sweat. The audience was very satisfied with the performance during the encore and only shouted when they asked the band to return to the performance.
"How should I put this? It's very unique!"
The invited judges looked around, not knowing how to evaluate it? This performance simply subverted their perceptions.
The ghoul dancers, gorgeous and unique suits, smart dance steps, and the song destined to enter the palace all opened their eyes and refreshed their ears.
The scene was so chaotic that the show could not continue. Jackson had to come up again to thank the audience. Then he lived up to his expectations and led his undead minions to dance another song "Thriller".
"I, Di Polo, do you want to be so good? I may not be willing to use the ghoul self-destruction tactic in the future!"
Downton touched his nose. The performance of these low-level ghouls really opened his eyes. He felt that he might have made a mistake by forcing Jackson to meditate. This guy was born to be on the stage. His confidence and smile after taking the stage.
, something he had never seen before.
"Maybe I should give him his freedom?"
Downton asks Homer.
"Downton, you have matured!"
Before Homer could say anything, the cheap god praised him.
"Give it to me! Give it to me!"
Madeleine stared at Jackson with gleaming eyes, grabbed Downton's shoulders with both hands, and shook her vigorously, "I want to be its manager, and I will definitely take it to the position of being the number one band in mainland China!"
"Is it that exaggerated?" Downton chuckled, "You can ask it. If Jackson agrees, I have no objection!"
Through the curtain, Jackson looked at the crazy scene in front of him. How could he dare to go out? He could only report to the owner later.
"No, we have to find a way!"
The bald leader couldn't sit still and went to find the female announcer.
"In the third show, male and female singers from Black Swan and Toffee will sing on the same stage, please enjoy!"
"Huh? Is this different from what was promised?"
When Madeleine heard the announcement, she immediately became angry. She stood up and went backstage, ready to beat him up.
"what to do?"
Hutao was very anxious.
"I can only rely on you!"
Madeleine also has singers, but after seeing Black Swan's strength, she is no longer confident, and she also inquired about those two, but Black Swan poached them from the First Opera Company of Saint Laurent at a sky-high price, and they became famous since childhood.
singer, so she can only ask Downton for help. (To be continued...)
