Although Humpback Whale does not know the specific identity of Eriki, nor the specific relationship between this girl and Sakura, they are important guests that the two bosses Su-san and Shude-san have named to protect.
For this girl, Su Sang even said that if this distinguished guest was slightly neglected or made a little mistake, Humpback Whale would no longer need to be the store manager, and the Takamagahara store would no longer need to be opened. You This bald old whale and one of your beloved men should imitate the erring retainers of ancient times and commit suicide in front of the girl one by one to apologize.
Since the boss had made such a solemn statement, how could the humpback whale dare to neglect it? He did not treat this girl as a guest, but more like his own mother. All the treatment given to Erika was unprecedented in Takamagahara.
Moreover, as a senior Cowherd who has met countless women, Humpback Whale can see that although the girl next to him is quiet and silent, she is by no means simple. The Humpback Whale sitting next to her feels inexplicably stressed. Although this kind of pressure is not obvious, it is more oppressive than the two bosses Su Sang and Jiu Desang. This makes the humpback whale have to lament that he is old after all, and today's young talents are really an amazing group. What a character!
The humpback whale looked at Kazama Ruri on the other side. Master Kazama came to see Sakura's debut, which was unexpected by the humpback whale.
The humpback whale has not yet recovered from Master Kazama's kabuki performance last night. He was definitely the most excited and fascinated person in the audience who sat in the front row watching the performance last night. Master Kazama was so on stage. The graceful and charming figure, the melodious singing voice, the touching performance tension... As the performance came to an end, looking at the sense of loneliness created by Master Kazama on the stage, somehow the humpback whale felt like There was a burst of sadness, and suddenly I shed tears and cried uncontrollably.
What is acting? This fucking thing is called acting! It's so touching that even a tough guy like a humpback whale can't resist the tenderness that wraps around his bones!
Today, Master Kazama came to the door before Takamagahara opened. At that time, the humpback whale was still sleeping soundly in his room. When the door was knocked, the humpback whale got up impatiently and shouted that it was not an order. Unless there is something big like the destruction of the world, why don't you disturb his rest? He went to open the door in his pajamas, thinking that if the new cowherd was at the door, he would teach them the rules of Takamagahara, and if the old cowherd knew his mistake and made a mistake, he would be punished, and then sat down The whale opened the door and saw a figure covering the sky...it was Kansuke Fujiwara.
Just when the humpback whale was wondering how Fujiwara Kansuke could make such a stupid mistake, Fujiwara Kansuke suddenly whispered in his ear and said that the store manager has a distinguished customer.
After Fujiwara Kansuke said these words, he stepped aside, revealing the figure of Kazama Ruri, which was obscured by his huge body.
Seeing Feng Jian Liuli, the humpback whale, whose anger level was soaring, instantly became mute. After a brief moment of daze, he stepped forward and grabbed Feng Jian Liuli's hand, holding it firmly, excitedly. I said that Master Kazama’s performance last night was so wonderful. I just happened to dream about it. I was annoyed because my dream was interrupted. I didn’t expect to see Master Kazama in person when I opened the door. If it weren’t for the real touch on Master Kazama’s hands. , I almost thought it was another bigger dream.
Kazama Ruri retracted her hand without leaving a trace, smiled and said to the humpback whale that she was really grateful to the whale-senpai for her kindness, and then got straight to the point and asked whether the content of yesterday's kabuki performance could be discussed at another time. The main purpose of today's visit is
I heard that Sakura-sensei's first show in her career will be held tonight in Takamawara. Although I am a cowherd and cannot be a guest of Takamagahara, I will not be stingy with tickets and expenses. I wonder if you will be lucky enough to see Sakura-sensei perform on stage.
posture.
The humpback whale hurriedly said that he was lucky. He was so lucky... Oh no, it was Sakura's first night show as a cowherd. It was so lucky to welcome a role model like Master Kazama to the show! Two of Master Kazama's
The arrival of this time has made Takamagahara shine. If Master Kazama still needs to be charged, it would be Takamagahara who is out of his mind. Speaking of the humpback whale, it seemed as if he was thinking of something, and he quickly told Fujiwara Kansuke to be sure to show up after Sakura's debut performance today.
Arrange a well-arranged meeting as the grand finale of the day, and ask Master Kazama to come on stage and say a few words. The guests will definitely faint with excitement.
Kazama Ruri shook her head and declined Humpback Whale's kindness, saying that she came to see Senior Whale in advance this time just to ask Senior Whale to keep it a secret. Kazama Ruri didn't want to announce his arrival because tonight belonged to his friend Sakura-kun.
At home, he didn't want his presence to steal the spotlight and affect Sakura-sensei's popularity. He just quietly watched Sakura-sensei's performance and was content to be an ordinary spectator.
Humpback Whale lamented that Sakura was so lucky to have such a close friend like Master Kazama. He agreed to Kazama Ruri's request without hesitation, but how could he really compare Master Kazama to ordinary people?
The guests were lumped together, which would be too disrespectful to the master.
So Humpback Whale left a booth with the best location to entertain today's most important guests. He and his most trusted subordinate Kansuke Fujiwara personally accompanied them.
"Senior Whale, I heard that Mr. Basara King and Mr. Ukyo also participated in today's performance, right?" Kazama Ruri suddenly asked the humpback whale.
"Yes, Basara and Ukyo are both good brothers of Sakura, and they both want to contribute to their brothers' performances." Humpback Whale sighed, "Although I have told Basara and Ukyo very directly about their relationship with Sakura.
There is not only a brotherly relationship, but also a competitive relationship. The current record holders for Takamagahara's first night ticket sales are Basara and Ukyo, and Sakura has already accumulated considerable popularity during her trainee period. If Basara and Ukyo appear on stage as assistants,
, the flower ticket they get will only be counted on Sakura. If this continues, they may help their competitor Sakura break the record she set... Kazama-kun, guess what the reaction of those two people was.
?”
"They must have no reaction at all." Kazama Ruri smiled, "Basara King and Ukyo are both rare men in the world who value loyalty. Of course there is no comparison between things like flower ticket records and brotherhood for them.
.”
"Master Kazama is really amazing." Humpback Whale smiled, "Yes, I have been in this business for so long, and I have seen too many intrigues and intrigues. There is no smoke in the war between cowherds, and sometimes even
It is more complicated than the war between women. Even in the famous Takamagahara in Tokyo, it is difficult to see such a pure brotherhood... It is really nostalgic. Seeing them reminds me of the glory of my youth.
Time, Basara, Ukyo and Sakura-kun are indeed good men that I fell in love with at first sight!"
"Oh, by the way, champagne, red wine, fruit plate, sashimi and snacks are all ready. They are on the cart behind you." The humpback whale said to Kazama Ruri, "If Master Kazama and the beautiful lady beside you are still here,
If you need anything, feel free to ask me."
"Senior Whale's hospitality has been meticulous, and we are very satisfied. Thank you." Kazama Ruri bowed slightly to the humpback whale in thanks.
"You too." The humpback whale said to Eriri on the other side, "If you have any needs, please be sure to let me and Kansuke Fujiwara beside you, and we will help you fulfill it as soon as possible."
Eryi nodded sensibly. It was not like she was as indifferent to her subordinates in the family before, because Lu Mingfei had already told her in advance that this bald man wearing sunglasses was their store manager, although he didn't look like it.
He is a nice guy but actually quite easy to get along with. As long as you don't pay attention to the store manager's idiotic and manly ikebana remarks from time to time, communication is not difficult.
The warm-up dance music ended, the dancers got off the stage amidst the urging of the guests, the dazzling lights suddenly went out, and the venue suddenly became dark.
After the guests' brief exclamations, the whole Gaotianyuan fell into silence again. All the guests held their breath and stared at the direction of the stage, because everyone knew that the highlight of the night was about to come.
The solitary and beautiful opera melody sounded, it was pure human voice singing, without any superimposed musical instruments. The sound spread the sad human voice to all directions of Takamagahara. Listening to such singing, it was like being transported back to the bustling metropolis of modern Japan.
In the empty mountain fields, the autumn wind carried the apricot-yellow leaves flying and falling.
The humpback whale sitting in the front row was immediately attracted by this song. He felt that this artistic song was particularly familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere not long ago, and then the humpback whale suddenly looked to his side as if aware of it.
Fengjian Liuli asked blankly: "Dare I ask... is this the voice of Master Fengjian?"
"Sakura-kun asked me to score his stage play, and I don't seem to have any reason to refuse him." Kazama Ruri smiled gently, "I can help Sakura-kun and contribute to his performance.
I am also sincerely happy.”
"It's such an honor for Sakura to have a close friend like Master Kazama!" Humpback Whale exclaimed, "With Master Kazama's blessing, Sakura will surely achieve a brilliant result in her first show tonight!"
"We'll see." Kazama Liuli's eyes moved towards the stage.
The singing slowly became lower, and three voices sounded at the same speed. They were the narrations of the story, read in three languages: Chinese, English and Japanese. The Japanese narration was also dubbed by Kazama Ruri, while the Chinese and English ones were
It is dubbed by Caesar, with two voices and three tracks overlapping each other. It is orderly and full of emotion. This must be the way Basara King participates. Otherwise, with Caesar’s high-profile and eye-catching image, he would not be able to steal Lu Ming’s attention as soon as he appears.
It’s hard to be in the limelight.
The background of the story is about a pair of brothers living in the mountains ten years ago. The elder brother has a strong personality, while the younger brother has a delicate personality. They have no father or mother and depend on each other. Their life experiences are like weeds in the mountains, humble but tenacious.
The curtain slowly opened, and a thin figure appeared on the stage. The lights were all turned off, leaving only a warm yellow lantern falling from the sky to cover the boy on the stage.
Wearing a patched kimono, the boy squatted on the ground and carefully picked up mushrooms from the mountains. He piled the small umbrella-like mushrooms in his arms until they could no longer fit in the sleeves of his kimono. In the end, he was still there.
I picked up a chrysanthemum on the side of the road, then trotted down the mountain with my arms full of mushrooms and a small flower.
This boy is Lu Mingfei. Tonight's protagonist, Sakura, only has a ten-second opening scene without a single line. However, Lu Mingfei's timid boyishness is so vividly performed that people can tell at a glance who he is playing.
The younger brother in the story.
At this time, another light came on on the stage. Different from the warm yellow light beam above Lu Mingfei's head, this light was a lonely white, shrouded in a thin figure. It was a lonely boy, who was also playing.
The patched kimono didn't make him feel downcast at all when he wore it.
The boy was wielding a broken bamboo knife. The broken blade repeated a single mechanical movement, and he was swinging it quickly to generate wind. The wind generated by the swing of the knife rolled up the boy's sleeves, revealing his clear-cut chin.
arm.
This is the second protagonist of today’s story, the brother played by Chu Zihang. His appearance only lasts for more than ten seconds, and he repeats extremely monotonous actions, swinging a knife, swinging a knife, swinging a knife...
But just this single simple action portrayed the personality of his brother, a very focused character, very clearly, because Chu Zihang's eyes were as sharp as a falcon, his eyes were always fixed on the bamboo knife in his hand, and the broken bamboo knife was waved by him
With the texture of a famous sword, his movements are as precise as copying and pasting, perfectly interpreting his brother's strong character and the persistence of a young samurai.
Lu Mingfei, who played the younger brother, quietly came up behind Chu Zihang, who played the elder brother. He sat on a nearby haystack, holding his chin and quietly watching his brother practice kendo. The time was quiet and beautiful.
From the warm sun to the sunset, the elder brother finally stopped wielding the knife. He wiped the sweat on his forehead with his old kimono sleeve. When he turned around, he saw his younger brother waiting obediently behind him. The younger brother gave his older brother a gift.
After the elder brother finished drinking the pot of cold water, he handed it back to his younger brother. The two brothers looked at each other without saying a word and just walked towards home together. The younger brother was always half a shoulder behind his elder brother.
The first act ended like this. It only lasted less than two minutes. Neither the brother nor the younger brother had a single line in the whole process. It is said that this kind of dull plot would be difficult to arouse the emotions of the audience, but the scene
There were still many people applauding, not for the appearance of Sakura and Ukyo, but for the acting skills of Lu Mingfei and Chu Zihang... They were watching the Cowherd Show where they sang and danced and sang.
There are so many stories that I am tired of it, but suddenly there is such a warm and harmonious stage play in front of me, which is quite a contrasting surprise.
Moreover, the acting skills of the two actors on stage are also remarkable. Although they are not professional actors, they can make people feel immersed in the performance through silent performances, which is quite rare in the circle of Cowherds.
