(2-in-1) Lin Jue thought about it for a long time, but actually couldn't think of a reason, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Guo Xu had to reveal his intentions naturally. He just acted according to the situation. If it was to win over or something else
Just resolve the plot by yourself. If you are just here to make friends, you might as well make friends with him and maintain the friendship between gentlemen. It's not a big deal.
Soon after, the audience watching the premiere came in one after another, and the theater was quickly filled. The more than fifty boxes were all full, and the more than one hundred seats below were also full. Everyone drank tea and chatted, getting to know each other.
Although they were taking care of each other, it was quite lively. Lin Jue shuttled among the boxes, saying hello and talking to everyone. Finally, he sat down in Guo Xu's box.
Lin Jue originally wanted to accompany Mrs. Fang and the others to the theater, but now that Guo Xu is here, he has to accompany them in the box.
The gong sounded three times on the stage, and the good sound transmission system spread the gong sound to every corner of the theater. Suddenly, the noise in the theater disappeared immediately, and the whole place became quiet. The star-like lights on the ceiling were extinguished one after another, and the theater
It was dark and quiet. Only the lights in front of the stage shone on the red curtain.
The sound of strings and bamboos sounded, and the curtain slowly opened. At the same time, Jiangnan Grand Theater showed their unique light and shadow slide effect. On both sides of the stage, the slide background brightened, and on the walls surrounding the theater, there were red flowers, green trees, and busy traffic.
, tall boats on the long river, tall buildings with cornices. A long picture of the city is displayed in the eyes of the audience. The picture is actually moving, the river is flowing, the boats are slowly moving eastward, and the people on the street are walking, and there is still a vague sense of movement.
There was a loud noise. Those who were attentive would immediately recognize that this scene was actually a scene somewhere on Bianhe Street. The shops, high-rise buildings and docks were all familiar.
Indeed, this was another one of Lin Jue's tricks. He invited more than a dozen painters to imitate the painting methods and angles of "Along the River During the Qingming Festival" to draw a long scroll. Then he used slide animation to project it, making the entire picture alive.
And it is a realistic style. It just increases the audience’s sense of involvement.
Just this move caused thunderous applause and praise from the audience.
In the box No. 1, Guo Xu nodded and praised: "I have long heard that the background lighting of the Jiangnan Grand Theater is like a dream, and it is so wonderful that it is fake and real. When I see it today, it is really a miraculous skill. Lin Jue, I
The king was very surprised."
Lin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief. Hypothesis is one thing, rehearsal is one thing, and the actual performance is another. Every performance, no matter how many rehearsals have been done before, it is actually inevitable to make mistakes.
This time, the animation of the characters and scenery in the large scroll was an unprecedented test. Lin Jue was naturally relieved that the effect could be achieved at this moment. Otherwise, the characters would be stuck on the screen and could not move. It was just a realistic
Picture scroll, that would be a failed scene and would greatly lose the context and plot development.
"In fact, it's not difficult. If your highness wants to know, I can tell him. Although... this is a highly confidential secret of our Grand Theater and will never be disclosed to outsiders." Lin Jue said.
Lu Tianci said: "Tell me and listen."
Guo Xu waved his hand and said: "Since it is a business secret, I don't think there is any need to tell it. Lin Jue, it goes without saying. In fact, I am just curious. I can see such a scene and I am very satisfied. I don't necessarily need to know."
Lin Jue secretly praised in his heart that Guo Xu was indeed extremely smart. When he handed over something to say, he immediately understood that he actually didn't want to say it. The intelligence of this person can be seen from this.
On the stage, the plot unfolds scene by scene. With the help of various means such as lighting, slideshows, background music, and stage changes, the ups and downs of the plot of "Red Dust" are even more exciting and addictive.
Two young girls, Hong Luan and Lu Rui, were sold into a brothel and depended on each other since they were childhood sweethearts. They gradually turned against each other due to the temptation of fame and fortune. Pure feelings cannot withstand the temptation of fame and fortune. All kinds of characters appeared on the stage, conspiracy, betrayal, cruelty, mixed with...
The yearning for a better life, the spark of hope, the bud of beautiful love. All kinds of emotional entanglements make people unable to stop, sighing and heart-wrenching.
Of course, the final outcome is that the lovers get married and the bad guys are punished and each has his retribution. In the last scene, the entire stage becomes two worlds. The left half is a lively wedding scene filled with people and gold, showing kindness and strength.
Lu Rui is finally married by Mr. Li. On the right half is a ruined temple under the moonlight. Hong Luan, who betrayed his friendship and lost everything, hangs himself from a beam. This strong visual contrast is presented on the same stage, and its impact is unparalleled.
.While the newlyweds are entering the bridal chamber, the corpse is shaking slightly in the clear light, giving people a strange and inexplicable sense of absurdity.
At the beginning, the audience was angry at Hongluan for betraying their friendship, especially her unscrupulous persecution of Lu Rui, colluding with guests and her mother to design Lu Rui to destroy her bottom line, all kinds of unprovoked rumors and scheming, and all kinds of unreasonable rumors and scheming against Lu Rui.
She caused huge harm. She almost used a trick to trick Mr. Li into her bed. What she did made people despise and angry. As soon as she came on stage, there was always a sound of abuse from the audience.
However, at the end of the play, people's mood became complicated and unspeakable.
When Lu Rui heard the news and came to the ruined temple to collect Hong Luan's body, she found a suicide note left by Hong Luan to Lu Rui. When Hong Luan picked up the suicide note and unfolded it, the light blue shadow of Hong Luan appeared in the light and shadow.
In order to express the soul state of Hong Luan, Lin Jue racked his brains. Although the slide projection is OK, it is obviously not realistic and shocking enough. Moreover, the movement of the slide cannot express the ethereal movement of the soul.
After several attempts, Lin Jue was not satisfied.
Finally, Lin Jue found a way to replace it, using special pigments to dye props and costumes, and making a fuss about makeup. Under the illumination of cold light, the characters' shapes will show an ethereal line sense. And because they are real people
The performance and movement form are not a problem. As for how to float in the air, it is not difficult. Wire technology has long been mature in Jiangnan Grand Theater. Wire ropes made of thousands of strands of silk can be used in white light
disappears, leaving almost no trace.
The audience who witnessed this scene was even more speechless, not knowing whether it was true or not. They watched the purple-blue figure on the bed sit up and then float in the air. If they hadn't known that this was a show, they might have thought it was a ghost.
"Sister Lu Rui, you are having sex with Master Li right now, and I am walking on the road to hell. You win, I lose, you are finally out of the sea of suffering, and I will always be trapped in darkness. I know you will come back to me
Corpse collector, you are a kind person, and you will definitely do this. Even if I have treated you like this, you will not bear grudge against me. I wish you the best, Sister Lu Rui, and hope that you and Mr. Li will grow old together and have children.
Kneel around, this is what I really mean."
"I know that in your eyes, I, Hong Luan, am an ungrateful person who abandons friendship. You also asked me, is the fight for fame and fortune more important than the friendship between us sisters? I didn't answer you, but now I can answer
You. In fact, this is not a fight for fame and fortune, this is a fight between life and death. In my heart, the love between you and me as sisters has always been there and will always be there. However, who makes our lives miserable? We cannot be like the noble ladies in the world and the daughters of officials.
An ordinary carefree life is not even as ordinary as an ordinary farm girl's life. We are all people who have lost our freedom. Since we were sold into a brothel, you and I are destined to struggle in this dirty mud. Are you willing?
Of course you are not willing to give in, otherwise you would not be willing to accept guests and keep your virginity to your death. That is just a way for you to get out of this stinking quagmire. You have to admit it..."
"...Are you and I really studying hard to compete for the top spot in a brothel and become famous all over the world? Of course not. In fact, you and I both understand that we are just doing this to give ourselves a chance to get out of the sea of suffering earlier.
Therefore, Mr. Li appears because he is here because of his reputation. Otherwise, do you think Mr. Li will have a good impression of the maid who brings tea and water? And everything you do to Mr. Li is just as intentional as mine.
The temptation. So, you and I have the same goal, but the means are different. I admit that your means are better, but mine are not as good as yours. I lost, and I am convinced."
"...To this day, it is useless to say anything. I said, if I lose, I will die, and I have fulfilled my promise. If you ask me and don't regret my original decision, I can only tell you
You, I will not regret it. I will not admit my mistake. Why should I admit my mistake? Am I wrong? Why should I admit my mistake? We entered this pit of fire when we were six years old. We are destined to die here and die here all our lives. I am not willing to accept it.
Naturally, I want to climb up and get out of this pit of fire. Look at those ladies from official families and wealthy people. Why can they live a life of freedom, while we have to be trampled on in this pit of fire? In this filthy quagmire
, if I want to show my head and take a breath, I have to step on your bodies and climb up. Am I wrong? Those other people are willing to rot and stink in this mud pit, but I don't want to, I want to do it for
Is it wrong for me to fight for my own life, to climb up and climb under the sun so that I can live a clean and decent life for even one day? Maybe I stepped on other people's shoulders, but I want to live, I can't help it
Ah. I can only climb up on their shoulders. Unfortunately, halfway through the climb, I fell off. It was you who climbed up. If I succeeded, then the one lying in this ruined temple right now is
You. Mr. Li is the only life-saving straw. If you grab it, I will be empty-handed. But I will never regret admitting my mistake. It was not me who was wrong. I was born into a poor family and was sold into a brothel.
, all of this is beyond my control. When it comes to admitting my mistake, God should admit it, the world should admit it, not me. I am just a woman who wants to live a normal life."
This long letter is completely narrated by the ghost-like Hong Luan himself, and the emotional expression is sincere and intense, making it even more contagious. The ghost-like Hong Luan is gesticulating in the air, while Xie Yingying, who plays Lu Rui, only holds the letter from beginning to end.
The letter stood there motionless. The whole picture was moving and still, giving people a sense of estrangement between yin and yang. It seemed that Lu Rui was just reading the letter, and she could not see every move of the ghost in front of her. However, the sound made by the soul was...
It’s the content of the letter again. This clever combination makes the last scene even more shocking.
Of course, what most changed people's previous perception of Hong Luan was the content of this letter. This inner monologue completely reversed the audience's prejudice against Hong Luan. They suddenly realized that this woman was actually a pitiful woman.
The victim. The purpose of everything she did was actually very simple, just to give herself a way out and live an ordinary life. As she asked at the end, was it her fault, or was it the fault of the world? Or was it God's fault?
Unfair? Isn’t it natural for a humble life to pursue a happy life? How could she be wrong?
On the stage, Lu Rui started to move. She bowed three times to Hong Luan's body lying on the wooden bed, and said softly: "Sister Hong Luan, please rest in peace. You have not lived a good life. My sister will live it for you."
Go down. In the next life, you and I will still be sisters."
After three prayers, amidst the shrill laughter of Hong Luan, the soul dispersed like smoke, the sun shone down, the light and shadow background changed, flowers and leaves flourished like spring all year round. In the changing scene, the sound of silk and bamboo music played, and the curtain slowly fell.
.
In the theater, there was thunderous applause that lasted for a long time.
Soon after, the curtain reopened, and all the actors came on stage to bow and express their gratitude. The audience was even more noisy and applauded like thunder. Many guests in the boxes ordered people to send silver coins as rewards, and some people in the audience threw silver ingots.
Go on stage and you will be rewarded countless times.
In Box 1, Lin Jue smiled with satisfaction. The success of the premiere was inevitable. What surprised Lin Jue was that Qin Xiaoxiao's acting ability was fully realized. She is a diligent and hard-working woman, and the most outstanding role of Hong Luan is in her.
It almost came alive under the performance. When it is innocent, it becomes innocent, and when it is ruthless, it becomes ruthless. When the audience started to curse, Lin Jue knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was successful in this premiere. Jiangnan Grand Theater has another one
The pillars of the platform, there is no doubt about it.
Huai Wang Guo Xu, who had been watching the play with all his attention, clapped his hands gently, nodded and said: "Lin Jue, I really didn't expect this. I used to be very disdainful of this kind of thing. I always thought that repertoire of songs, dances, poems and so on were all
Meaningless things will only fascinate people's hearts and make people indulge in pleasure. But today, I have to admit that it is my biased idea. No wonder everyone in the capital is talking about the repertoire of your Jiangnan Grand Theater.
It’s so beautiful. Putting aside the content of the script, the techniques and the form of the acting alone are breathtaking. I didn’t expect you to have so many ingenious ideas.”
Lin Jue laughed and said: "Your Highness's false praises are all strange and obscene skills, which are difficult to reach the level of elegance. To put it bluntly, I just want to attract people's attention and make some money. If you want to make money, naturally
You have to use your brain. Of course, it is not a bad thing to make everyone happy and get physical and mental pleasure. At least it is much better than gambling and visiting brothels."
Guo Xu laughed and said: "You are quite straightforward and talk about making money. But it's no wonder. In the previous turmoil, it is said that your Lin family was implicated and all the family property was fined. I heard that you became the head of the Lin family.
There are hundreds of people in your Lin family, and hundreds of mouths to feed, so naturally you, the head of the family, need to find ways to make money to feed them. This is reasonable."
Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness."
Guo Xu turned to a guard behind him and said, "Go and reward five hundred taels of silver to express your feelings."
Lin Jue said hurriedly: "It can't be done, it can't be done. We don't actually rely on rewards here, but just sell tickets."
Guo Xu smiled and said: "Didn't my second uncle's cousin reward me with a thousand taels? I don't have as much money as him, so I can still get five hundred taels. He knew I was here, so he sent my army to
Well, I won’t compete with him, but I can’t ask him to talk.”
Lin Jue had no choice but to shut up. When it came to the quarrel with the young prince Guo Kun, Lin Jue naturally would not say another word, lest he cause trouble.
After a lot of fuss, the actors left the stage. Although the audience was still unsatisfied, they had to leave the stage slowly while chatting enthusiastically.
Lin Jue saw that Guo Xu had no intention of leaving, so he had to stand up and said: "Your Highness, please forgive Lin Jue for being rude. Lin Jue has to leave for a while. The congratulators have left, and Lin Jue wants to see him off. The actors and staff of the performance,
I also want to praise him."
Guo Xu sat still, waved his hand and said with a smile: "You can go, I will wait here for you to come back. You can do your own thing."
Lin Jue asked tentatively: "Does your Highness have something to give you? But it doesn't matter."
Guo Xu said: "It's not an urgent matter. You can come back after making arrangements, and we'll discuss it in detail. If you think I'm in the way, it's okay for me to book a private room in the restaurant across the street and wait for you."
Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hands and said: "No, no, your highness will sit here for now. I will order someone to bring tea, water and snacks. After I have dismissed some things, I will come back immediately."
Guo Xu nodded and waved his hands: "Go ahead, go ahead, I'll just wait."
Lin Jue bowed and exited, thinking: Sure enough, he came not just for congratulations, but his relationship with His Highness has not reached this level yet. But I don’t know why he came here. Although he was full of doubts, the guest left
, naturally we need to smile. Standing at the entrance of the theater, groups of people left with smiles on their faces, praising the show. When the Fang family and her daughter went out, their eyes were red and swollen, as if they had cried.
Lin Jue stepped forward and said to Mistress Fang with a smile: "Master, how did you like the show?"
Mrs. Fang's eyes were red and she said angrily: "You bastard, you made Mrs. Fang cry. Why didn't you invite me to watch such a good show? Could it be that it has been such a good show since Hangzhou?"
Lin Jue chuckled and said: "Master, this is a complete setback. When I was in Hangzhou, I invited you and your husband to come to the theater, but you always refused. What can I do? What now? Do you want me to leave a box for you?
Master, will you come to see me anytime?"
Mrs. Fang nodded and said: "If you want it, you don't need the private room. Just have a seat when you come. Just now I asked the little girl next to you and she said that the price of the private room is at least eighty taels. Oh my God."
, doesn’t this make you earn eighty taels less? It’s better to sit down.”
Lin Jue laughed loudly and said: "Master, please tell me it's eighty taels, so what if it's eight hundred taels? Now that Master is here, I have to spare it no matter how expensive it is. This is my filial piety."
Mrs. Fang smacked her lips and sighed: "Hey, it's a pity... It's a pity for you and Qiu'er... Hey, let's not talk about it. We are leaving. Go back and cook for your husband."
Mrs. Fang walked forward, Fang Huanqiu followed behind. Lin Jue saw that her eyes were also red and swollen, and asked in a low voice: "Are you crying?"
Fang Huanqiu nodded. She couldn't tell Lin Jue how she felt just now. Especially the last scene, where one person was attending a marriage ceremony and the other was hanging himself, reminded Fang Huanqiu of that night a few months ago when all hope was gone. That day.
Lin Jue and the little princess were visiting to get married. He was so disillusioned that he followed his mother to move overnight. At that time, he also wanted to die.
"It's just a show, don't act on your behalf. I originally wanted you and my wife to stay tonight, but I have a guest here who won't leave, so I have to give up. I'll ask you out another day and let's go to Xishan Station to see the maple leaves.
." Lin Jue smiled.
Fang Huanqiu nodded and was about to speak when Mrs. Fang in front turned around and shouted: "Qiu'er, hurry up, we're going back too late, your father is going to be verbose again."
Fang Huanqiu agreed, smiled brightly at Lin Jue, turned around and walked away quickly.
