On the afternoon of August 18, the Jiangnan Grand Theater was crowded with cars and horses, and although the Grand Theater could only accommodate four or five hundred people when it was full, many people rushed to join in the fun even though they knew that there was no hope of entering.

Before the time came, the rich people who photographed the box in the VIP passage entered the box first, and then the ordinary people who queued up all night to buy tickets happily entered the venue under the envious eyes of everyone. When the iron gate closed, the sound of silk and bamboo sounded inside, and the people outside who had no chance to enter refused to disperse. When they asked if there were still tickets for today's show, they received an even more heartbreaking answer. There is only one premiere, because the big drama will be performed for two hours from beginning to end, plus the break and entry and exit in the middle, it will be nearly three hours.

Compared with these depressed people outside, the people in the theater were excited one by one. After sitting down, call friends, greet each other, call tea and snacks up, rush to pay for acquaintances, and make a lot of noise.

Knock knock! After the three drum beats, the duck-like hum of the audience immediately stopped, and the guests who often came to the play knew that it was the prelude to the show. The lights at the front desk are on, two women are standing at the entrance of the stage with a huge play card, and the three big characters of the golden "Legend of the West Chamber" are written on it, next to which are the portraits of a man and a woman painted by Gongbi, and there is an image of a little girl with bright eyes in the middle.

After a while, the drums sounded three times, the lights went out in the lobby, the silk bamboo sounded on the stage, and the curtain slowly opened. As if opening a new world, as the curtain slowly opened, a world of spring and Jingming on the stage was displayed in front of everyone. The temple is far away from the mountains, the flowers and trees are luxuriant, the flowing water is waterfalls, the butterflies and bees are noisy, and it is beautiful.

That's not all, the snow-white walls painted on both sides also appeared with light and shadow casting, which surprised all the people. This is exactly the setting of the huge projection set that Lin Jue took out for the premiere of the West Chamber. Although it is not easy to achieve the effect of bright slide projection in this year, Lin Jue uses the principle of concave mirror concentrating to gather the light of the candle flame through the reflection of dozens of concave mirrors to achieve the effect of projecting a slide projection.

Intense light shines through the transparent crystal lenses of the painted landscape, creating the effect of projecting the scenery. It's not as subtle as the color fidelity is, but it's amazing. In line with the plot on stage, a total of dozens of tinted lenses were made with micro-engraved crystals, which will be replaced sequentially during the performance.

On the second floor, there is an extra light box along the upper edge of the hall, which was originally used to illuminate the theater hall, and at this moment, the burning candles are converging out of a small hole, and the light is projected obliquely down on the white wall, forming a coherent and delicate picture.

Lin Jue did this, not only to create an atmosphere, serve the repertoire, and bring better enjoyment to the audience, but it was actually a kind of show-off. In view of the fact that all the major green buildings want to come to get a piece of the pie, they want to create a theater to act. As a pioneer in the industry, it is necessary for Lin Jue to tell everyone in this way that the Jiangnan Grand Theater cannot be surpassed, and a small lighting set can throw them a few streets.

The old fans are satisfied, and the new audience opens their mouths wide. This is the handiwork of the Jiangnan Grand Theater, their set lighting is always first-class, and the background on the stage and the surrounding walls are connected together, plus some clever combination of real scenes, as if people are in the situation in the play. It's not just a viewer, it's like a bystander in the play, participating in the performance.

Great wisdom! Generous! Great Production!

The curtain opened, and the first scene of the dojo officially began. All kinds of characters appeared one after another, and the beautiful singing costumes and characters appeared one after another. Silk and bamboo music, palace tune conversion, set reincarnation, everything is scheduled in an orderly manner. The audience enters the plot in a very short time, forgetting the troubles, sorrows and joys of the real world, and putting their emotions into it. This is also the purpose of their coming to the play, they want to substitute the characters in the play, laugh, cry, sad, have fun, love, or hate.

On the stage, the Cui family dojo.

Zhang Junrui met Cui Yingying for the first time. In the back garden of the Pufu Temple, the two gave poems to each other, and love sprouted. The rebel general Sun Feihu rebelled, led the troops to rob Yingying for the suppression of Mrs. Zhai, and the old lady made a promise to kill the enemy soldiers and rescue Yingying, and then promised Yingying to him. Zhang Junrui stepped forward, fought wits and courage, stabilized Sun Feihu, and moved to rescue Sun Feihu to repel Sun Feihu.

The whole first act is tight and intense. When the two feelings in front of them sprouted, the atmosphere was ambiguous and lingering, and when the two armies in the back fought, blood flew and heads rolled. The special effects made of red silk cloth and prop puppets on the stage are extremely realistic, and the blood water prepared by rouge water even splashes on the faces of the audience in the audience. The projection background on both sides greatly sets off the atmosphere, where there are piles of bones, broken walls and a sea of corpses and blood.

What's even more eye-popping is that gunpowder fireworks are even arranged on the side of the stage, forming a slight explosion sound, creating a tragic scene of gunpowder billowing battles. The audience watched the soul fly out of the sky, standing in two strands, as if they were on a murderous battlefield, they really stood or sit, walked, or stayed.

At the end of the first act, when the curtain fell, the lights of the audience were lit up, and the people suddenly woke up. The noise almost toppled the roof.

Lin Jue sat in the middle of the ordinary audience, smiling and enjoying the stormy applause and cheers around him, he was quite complacent. It was not surprising that these things that I designed myself could be recognized by the people, but I was still very happy.

Whether it is here or in the later generations, the people's pursuit of audio-visual enjoyment and spiritual enjoyment is the same, but the limitations here are greater. But Lin Jue was fully confident that he could dig out their needs. The only thing to worry about is that if this continues, the people's tastes will become higher and higher, although they are full of creativity, but limited to the level of science and technology in these years, I am afraid it will be difficult to meet them.

After a short break, the second act begins.

The plot takes a sharp turn, the old lady regrets her marriage, and Zhang Junrui becomes ill. On stage, two different scenes are presented. Under the screen, Zhang Junrui on the left sighed and sang to the lamp: "Hungry eyes will be worn, slander and saliva are empty, empty I am sick and sick, how can he turn when he is about to go to Qiubo." Xiu Dao is a small student, he is a stone man, and he also wants to provoke affection. ”

The people took pity on him again, and were amused by his singing. On the other side, Cui Yingying sighed and sang to the moon: "The blue and clear moss is cold, and the bright flowers are sieving the moon shadow." The blue and short canopy lamps are deserted and old. The lamp is unknown, and the dream cannot be realized; The wind is sparse, the pillow is lonely, and there is silence ......"

The audience was silent, they naturally knew that once the old lady was not allowed, these two people would never have a chance. Zhang Junrui's gasping sound, every cough clutching his chest, the staggering of his walk, and the smell of herbs swaying in the air all seemed to indicate that he would soon be out of the world. Everyone was worried about their hearts, silently listening to the harmonious singing of the two on the stage, thinking about how all this should end.

The playful gongs and drums sounded, the stage lights went out, and the little red lady with a red handkerchief stepped on the stage with gongs and drums. Take a look at the east, look at the west, snicker and wink, shave your face and scream shame, and get rid of a ghost.

The people were both surprised and surprised. In such a sad atmosphere, how could such a playful character suddenly appear.

Lin Jue in the audience is very satisfied, this matchmaker is played by a newly recruited little girl, this role is very important, and it is not easy to play it well, Lin Jue is most worried that she will not play well, which will make the whole play regretful. But at the moment, it seems that he is so worried. This little girl's smile and every movement are skillful and free, it seems that before this, Xie Yingying has spent a lot of effort to train her.

The little matchmaker finally knocked on Zhang Junrui's people, and while wantonly ridiculing Zhang Sheng, she offered him a book of advice. Then go back to Cui Yingying's house, and while making fun of Miss, I don't forget to cheer her up. Running from left to right, busy at both ends, sweating profusely. didn't forget to stand at the entrance of the stage and laugh at the audience: "My little matchmaker is so busy in the middle of the night, and I don't know what to do." ”

The people in the audience burst into laughter, and someone shouted, "What's the picture? The picture is with your young lady who followed that Zhang Shengbei. ”

The little matchmaker on the stage stomped her feet and was very cute.

The third act opened, Cui Yingying waited under the lamp, and sang a paragraph of 'Waiting for the moon under the west chamber, the windward door is half-open.' The shadow of the flowers on the wall moved, and it was suspected that the jade man was coming. After that, Zhang Junrui sneaked over the wall and entered. The people were foaming at the mouth and waiting for something good, but the old lady suddenly came on the scene and stayed in Cui Yingying's room to talk about the east and the west. The people in the audience scolded, watching Zhang Junrui shrink in the room and be forced to hide by the old lady's movement, Cui Yingying and the little red lady almost fell into hiding several times while covering up, and they were full of laughter, exclaiming and laughing.

Someone from the audience shouted, "Old lady, that guy is next to the cabinet behind you, and you will catch him when you turn around." I'm afraid you're blind, old lady, and can't see under your eyelids. ”

There was a burst of laughter in the audience, and someone scolded: "You nasty ghost, you can't see others happy with each other, right?" ”

"That is, shut your mouth, do you have to make people exposed? Old lady, it's so late, go back to sleep. ”

There was endless interaction on and off the stage, and the laughter was full. Finally, the old lady left, and everyone was relieved. Zhang Junrui got his wish, and when he brought the warbler into the account to enjoy the Spring Festival, the audience was satisfied.

The little matchmaker came out and sang: "Look at the two of them, enter the curtain together, and push my matchmaker out of the door, matchmaker, why are you so troubled." Miss, Miss, how graceful, Junrui Junrui, you are very talented. You don't need to buy it with a thousand gold, and the moon moves the flower and the shadow jade people come. Tonight hooked the lovesick debt, and the infinite spring breeze was full of arms. The heart of the flower is dismantled, the swimming bee is picked, the willow waist swings, and the dew drops peony opens. One is half-pushed and half-shocked and loved, just like the goddess of Xiangwang going to the balcony. Regardless of whether my matchmaker is outside the door, this cold dew soaked my crested shoes. Hum! ”

The little matchmaker stomped her feet, walked away coquettishly, and the curtain fell. The audience laughed endlessly!
