"By the way, do you really plan to let me perform so early? I have never performed in any opera... What if I fail in the performance?"
As night fell, after getting acquainted with the members of the Phantom Opera Troupe and eating a sumptuous dinner that could fill the stomachs of twenty adult men, in the huge tent assigned to him, Volibear held a
The script was originally titled "The Ring of the Nibelungs". I looked at the contents of the script with an embarrassed expression.
"It doesn't matter. Anyway, when the time comes, you only need to look fierce and abduct Sister Leviathan. You don't need any acting skills at all. In other words, your appearance is already a natural acting skill."
Ruby smiled a little immodestly, her red hair tail swaying in the air, looking a little charming under the weak moonlight in the tent, but in fact she was just a sixteen-year-old girl.
"By the way, this is also a very strange point. Why does my character have no lines throughout the story? Doesn't this villain need to say something like "You shout! No one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is broken!"
A scene?"
In the script of "The Ring of the Nibelungs", the general flow of the story is that the hero "Ziegfeld" played by Captain Abel is different from the forest queen "Brünhir" played by Leviathan, who is the deputy leader.
We don't know each other and then we fall in love.
Later, Brunhil was abducted by Volibear, a giant bear with many evil deeds. After seven duels with Volibear, Siegfeld finally killed him with the help of the Ring of Nibelung and saved him.
I returned to my lover and lived a life without shame...
By the way, this script is actually a new work written by Captain Abel after a sudden burst of inspiration after meeting Volibear. It has not undergone many improvements, and it seems a bit monotonous at present, but in fact, for a fantasy opera
, and it doesn’t require too many side details.
However, although this script is simple, the performance time is very long. It takes two hours to explain the seven duels between Ziegfeld and the giant bear. The entire script is as long as five hours. I don’t know who has it.
Watch this effort in its entirety...
"You shout! No one will come to save you even if you shout until your throat is broken... This sentence sounds interesting. Have you really done this before? Of course you can add this kind of joke if you like.
Go in and just make one small modification..."
Captain Abel is also sitting in Volibear's tent. Anyway, his tent is the largest five-person tent. Although a large amount of space is taken up by Volibear's bear, it can still accommodate Abel and Ruby.
of comfort.
The evil bear... is used to kidnapping women from good families... he speaks very philosophically... He hides a perverted heart under his evil appearance...
Abel took the script and modified it according to Volibear's "requirements".
"I have never kidnapped anyone's wife... By the way, what do I want to do when a bear-man kidnaps a human beauty? Do I plan to stew it and eat it or sell it for money? There is no explanation in this script.
?”
Deputy Captain Leviathan is indeed an eye-catching beauty. Volibear had already met this woman at dinner before, who is said to have a close relationship with Captain Abel. However, with his current werebear attributes, even if he wanted to treat her
There's no way to put it into practice if you do something shameless, so you can tie it back so that you can't eat it or move it, and keep it as a decoration?
"What are you talking about, you idiot? Don't evil bears kidnap girls and destroy towns every day? Do you need a reason? If you don't do this, what qualifications do you have to call yourself an evil bear and change your name to Baby Bear when you go home?
You can find honey to eat."
Hearing Volibear's "evil theory", Ruby couldn't bear it. In the various opera works she was accustomed to, villains were villains, and there was no need for "why did this guy burn, kill and loot"?
If this is a problem, the villain just needs to go on the stage to dominate and play the role that is hated by others.
"What are you talking about? Even if Ben Xiong is a villain, he is also a villain with ideals, pursuits, and ideas! The kind of villain who has enough to eat and nothing to do and goes off to do bad things is outdated! Today's villains are not miserable.
The stories or profound connotations are too embarrassing to be shown on the big screen!"
Volibear was also a movie fan when he was on Earth. He has watched countless movies. Apart from Japanese action movies, his favorite is old and American hero movies. In recent years, among various hero movies, there have been fewer and fewer of them.
Pure villains are bad guys who do evil for no reason or purpose, just for the sake of doing evil.
For example, Magneto in X-Men is the best example. His purpose from beginning to end is just for the survival rights of mutants, rather than the old-fashioned "I want to dominate the world!" "I want to gain power!"
For some inexplicable reason, in Volibear's heart, such a person is the real bad guy, the real bad guy with ideals and ambitions!
Is it reasonable to increase the number of villains... Maybe it's a good direction for development. Volibear and Ruby are at odds with each other, but Captain Abel here takes Volibear's words from
I got quite a lot of inspiration from it.
To be honest, opera works in this sacred world are still in a relatively primitive stage. Even in works like "The Phantom of the Opera" that should focus on portraying the phantom monster, most of the chapters are still spent on Christine and the theater manager.
In human love stories, the exploration of dark characters is almost zero.
The emotions of the characters in fantasy operas are even thinner. It is almost a very simple story of "the hero slays the dragon and saves the princess", with a large number of cookie-cutter scripts, which looks very boring. This is why the "Phantom" Opera Company rarely performs
The reason for fantasy opera.
But if Volibear followed Volibear's idea and created more villains, maybe the fantasy opera would have a more brilliant effect. After all, compared to the tall and decent characters whose hands and feet are almost tied, the description of the villain is
The space is wider and there are more places for creativity.
After thinking for a while, Captain Abel picked up the script again, carefully reviewed the "Ring of the Nibelungs", and made changes to it from time to time. Ruby and Volibear on the side were still because of the conflict of three views.
And the entanglement is endless, and both sides give people a feeling that "the labor and management will not get along until they convince you"...
Um...My head hurts so much, my throat is so thirsty, and I can't help but feel alive...
Early the next morning, this was Volibear's first day staying at the Phantom Opera Troupe's camp. However, this early in the morning, Volibear felt that life was worse than death, and his throat felt so dry that it seemed to be burning.
, my mind felt like it was being stabbed with red-hot iron pliers.
What happened last night... I was arguing with that girl Ruby until late at night... and then started drinking for no reason? Why did she suddenly start drinking? And Ruby obviously only has this
Why is a sixteen-year-old girl so good at drinking!?
A lot of questions filled Volibear's head. He shook his huge head, slowly supported his shaky upper body with his arms, and tried to sit up.
Huh? What is this? Just when Volibear raised his upper body, a large red unknown object came into his sight. He looked towards his chest, where there was a girl wearing a red hood lying on his chest.
Chest, as if he was dead in sleep.
This guy... is he using me as a pillow... Volibear gently moved Ruby's body away. It seems that this guy was also very drunk last night, and he fell down like this.
In Volibear's tent.
However, in the eyes of others, Volibear was just a bear-man, and he certainly had no strange ideas about human women. Therefore, Captain Abel did not stop Ruby from drinking in the tent in the middle of the night.
Oops, it's really miserable... Finally, I have a beautiful woman in my arms, but I can't even think about it... Volibear smiled bitterly. After turning into a bearman, he had no feelings for humans.
Although women still have some feelings, the bear's body will not have any strange reactions. It's just like you are a human being and you can't get hard on a female bear no matter how beautiful it is.
"You finally woke up...use this."
A female voice that sounded very gentle and divine as if singing a poem appeared next to Volibear, and then, a wet and cold towel was handed into his hand.
"...Thank you, Miss Leviathan."
Volibear just thought for a moment and remembered who the owner of this unique voice was, who was the deputy leader of the Phantom Opera Troupe, and Miss Leviathan, who was the heroine in the troupe. She was a mature and charming woman.
She is a beauty, and she is also a reliable big sister like an elder in this big family.
"It seems that Ruby has brought you a lot of trouble, but this child is quite straightforward and shows everything on his face. Please don't mind Mr. Volibear."
Leviathan smiled softly, the charm of a mature woman was vividly reflected in her body, and she seemed to have received an aristocratic education since childhood, making people feel like a spring breeze in every move she made.
"No, this little kid Ruby is quite cute. On the contrary, don't blame me for being a country boy who doesn't know anything."
Facing the gentle Leviathan, even Volibear, who was always known for his "no grace", couldn't help but adopt a polite attitude. It seemed that Leviathan had a strange magic power that could easily influence him.
to the people she communicated with.
Ugh... It seems that she heard the conversation between Volibear and Leviathan. Ruby's body lying on the ground began to twist slightly, and her frown also indicated that this girl was very drunk last night.
The heroic girl was also suffering from a hangover at this time.
"Really, Ruby is the same kid. She started drinking at a young age. Fortunately, she can still keep an eye on her now that we are around her. If she were still with her teacher, I don't know what would have happened."
Leviathan twisted out a wet towel from the basin nearby and covered it on Ruby's forehead to relieve her headache. In Leviathan's view, the man who instigated Ruby to drink was simply rotten.
It's obvious, even if he is the strongest person in Feng Hua, a demon hunter famous in the sanctuary.
"Is Ruby's master... very powerful?"
Volibear, who had personally fought against Ruby, knew very well how terrifying this child was. To be able to achieve this level of strength at the age of sixteen, in addition to her extraordinary talent, she must also have the guidance of a famous teacher.
So high.
In fact, if she is given another two years, Ruby will far surpass the current Volibear and become a super master of Russell's level. You know, even after two years, she will only be a girl under 20.
He is only a young man aged 10 years, and this growth rate is simply jaw-dropping.
"It's very powerful. Her master once single-handedly defeated the 460-level ancient monster "Ice Cerberus". According to the records of the sanctuary, there are only a few people who can fight against the ancient monster alone in the past thousand years.
There are less than twenty people, and almost all of them are important figures whose names have gone down in history."
Four... level four hundred and sixty? Volibear was stunned by such a huge number. You must know that the level of Warcraft is not a simple superposition calculation. Almost all Warcraft above level 100 have comparable abilities.
The power of the dragon, which level 460...
Haha, it seems that labor and capital are still far behind. Volibear smiled bitterly. What does it mean that there is a world outside the world? He is just bullying more than ten levels of monsters. Compared with the top masters in this world, he is still as dust.
