In order to familiarize themselves with the new play as quickly as possible and meet the minimum performance requirements, Timothy issued a stay-at-home order for all the actors in the theater troupe, and simply sealed the door of the hotel.
Therefore, except for a few people who know the truth, people outside have no idea about the reality of "Death of the Dragon", and most people are full of expectations for this new drama.
Even some vendors with more flexible minds got excited about it, and a carpenter rushed out a batch of toys, including the black dragon and the wooden sculpture of Ilea.
This is because the main drama has not yet been released, and the peripheral products are on sale first.
In addition, some taverns and hotels took the opportunity to launch gimmick dishes such as dragon-slaying baked pie and roasted dragon eggs, while other tailor shops did not lag behind and sold handkerchiefs and clothing embroidered with dragon heads.
In short, the atmosphere has been completely heated up, and everyone seems to be celebrating the festival.
On the day of the performance, the stage was even more crowded. When Timothy opened the window, he found that the queue had already reached another street, and he didn't know what those people behind him could see.
In addition, many surrounding buildings were packed with people, and some even climbed to the roof to watch the show.
Timothy only glanced at it, quickly closed the window, and came downstairs of the hotel with somewhat frivolous steps. All he could see were tired faces.
There are also people who are mumbling words into the air, as if they are possessed by evil spirits.
Although Timothy has decided to adopt the plan proposed by Li Yu and use a teleprompter to help the actors memorize lyrics, the actors are the same as the class leaders.
These people in Love and Mead were basically trained by Timothy, or were like-minded companions with him. Naturally, these people have implemented his aesthetic standards and have very strict requirements for the works they participate in.
Give yourself permission to not remember your lines.
Usually a new play takes at least two or three months to be polished before it can be performed publicly, but this time their preparation time was only three days.
Therefore, during the rehearsal, more than one person came to Timothy and said that he could not perform because he could not produce a qualified work in such a short time.
As a result, Timothy not only had to write scripts, supervise rehearsals, and coordinate the work of all parties, but he also had to provide psychological massage to his actors, give them chicken soup, and persuade them to continue to persevere.
For three days, for three whole days, Timothy did not close his eyes once, and his eye sockets were already covered with bloodshot eyes, which is why he was wandering when he walked.
The troupe leader feels that he may return to the embrace of the God of Art at any time.
And the actors under him were not much better than him. Until the moment before the performance, some people could not find their props, and the whole backstage was in a state of chaos.
But Timothy couldn't care so much anymore, because the audience outside was almost staring at the scene. On the contrary, David, who was sitting in the front row, looked calm and collected, and didn't seem to be in any hurry.
However, Timothy did not dare to let the acting head of the Figuerola family really wait too long.
Soon he had the first actor appear.
It was a human girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, similar in body shape to Ilea, wearing a pair of fake long ears on her head, and wearing a suit of clothes from the Arias family, with a rabbit on her chest.
The coat of arms allows everyone to recognize who the character she plays is at a glance.
Speaking of the actor who was playing Miss Rabbit on the stage at this time, Miss Rabbit was no stranger to her. It was the young actress who was taught by the troupe leader to practice her voice when she first met Timothy.
As she appeared on the stage, Timothy's heart was in his throat backstage.
You must know that Ilea is the well-deserved heroine of this drama. He originally preferred several more experienced actresses. As for age, it is not really a problem and can be concealed through makeup.
However, those few people were unwilling to perform because they were worried that their own brands would be ruined.
In the end, the troupe leader could only hand over the role to the newcomer. Fortunately, the latter's opening performance was quite satisfactory. In the eyes of a professional like Timothy, it felt that there was still a lot of room for improvement, but it was difficult to fool the audience below.
There is no problem.
In fact, most people come to the theater just to have fun. As long as the performance reaches the passing level, the difference beyond that is hard to tell.
The actress who played Ilea first gave a monologue, introduced herself, and then expressed her concern for her father who was away from home. She also said that she would bake a pie to welcome her father when he came back.
Miss Rabbit in the audience blushed a little while watching this plot. She didn't know anything about cooking. No matter whether she was studying at Teacup Castle or later at the temple, she was a pure cook who only knew how to cook with big mouthfuls.
However, art inevitably contains elements of processing, as it comes from life and is higher than life.
The girl continued to watch, and saw that the actor playing herself had returned to the backstage, and then came another scene, Ruska Roman's sword show.
Among them, when Ruth came on the stage, everyone's reaction was okay. When Carloman also came on stage, there was no reaction from the civilians, but there was an uproar from the nobles.
Because the person playing Carloman is Carloman himself, who has been missing for a long time.
Reconnecting to Haikou, which Ilea boasted before, saying that Li Yu could find Carloman through the oracle, many people did not believe it at the time, but now the facts speak louder than all the eloquence.
But then some thoughtful people began to feel that something was wrong.
As a nobleman, Carloman should not act in a theater troupe. No matter how much he likes theater, there is nothing wrong with acting behind closed doors, but it would be inappropriate to show off to the Weir family.
Shameful.
However, Carloman seemed to be completely unaware of this and was still performing solemnly on the stage. In other words, he was not performing, he was just reenacting what happened before.
Including how he arranged for his attendants to secretly exchange for real swords, and then used the real sword to kill Russ, which caused the audience to scream in surprise.
Ilea turned her head and glanced at David who was not far away. The latter still looked unhurried and unhurried, as if what was being performed on the stage had nothing to do with him.
However, Miss Rabbit didn't believe that he could remain so calm if the scene continued.
Soon, we reached a small climax in the second act. After accidentally "accidentally killing" Ruth, Carloman cried loudly while holding his friend's body, and explained his difficulties in killing his friend in a monologue.
This part of the content was discussed between Ilea and Carloman.
Carloman knew that he was bound to die, so he did this to make up for his debt to Ruth, make him feel better, and secondly, to absolve him of some of his guilt.
The head of the Weir family mustered up a lot of courage to stand here.
