(two-in-one) Lin Jue thought about it for a long time, but he didn't come up with a reason, so he simply didn't think about it. Guo Xu has any intentions, naturally he wants to show them. It is to act on your own initiative. If it is a co-optation or other scheme, it will be resolved by yourself. If you just come to make friends, you might as well make friends with him and maintain a gentleman's friendship, it's not a big deal.

Soon after, the audience for the premiere began to enter, and the theater was soon full. The more than 50-seat boxes were all full, and the more than 100 seats below were also full. Everyone drank tea and chatted, and acquaintances took care of each other, which was also very lively. Lin Jue shuttled through the boxes, greeting and talking to everyone. Finally, sit in Guo Xu's box.

Lin Jue originally wanted to accompany Mrs. Fang and them to watch the play, but now that Guo Xu is here, he has to accompany him in the box.

The gong sounded three times on the stage, and a good sound transmission system transmitted the gong to every corner of the theater. Suddenly, the noise in the theater immediately disappeared, and the audience fell silent. The starry lights on the ceiling went out one after another, and the theater was dark and quiet. Only the lights in front of the stage shone on the red curtain.

The sound of silk and bamboo started, and the curtain slowly opened. At the same time, the Jiangnan Grand Theater showed their unique light and shadow slide effects. On both sides of the stage, the slide lantern background is sassy and bright, and on the walls around the theater, there are red flowers and green trees, busy traffic, long rivers and tall boats, and high-rise buildings. A long picture of the market is displayed in the eyes of the audience. The picture was actually moving, the river was flowing, the boats were slowly east, the people on the street were walking, and there was a faint noise of people. Attentive people immediately recognized that this scene was actually a scene somewhere on Bianhe Street, and the shops, high-rise buildings, and wharves were very familiar.

Indeed, this is another means of Lin Jue, who invited more than a dozen painters to imitate the painting method and angle of the Qingming Riverside Picture, so as to draw a long scroll. It is then projected with a slide animation, so that the whole picture is alive and in a realistic style. It is to increase the audience's sense of substitution.

Just this hand, the audience applauded like thunder, and praise was everywhere.

In the No. 1 box, 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 wonderful to confuse the real with the fake. When I saw it today, it was really amazing. Lin Jue, this king is very surprised. ”

Lin Jue also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. It's one thing to envision, it's one thing to rehearse, and it's another thing to actually put on a show. Every performance, no matter how many rehearsals have been done before, it is actually inevitable that mistakes will happen. This time, the animation of the characters and scenery of the large picture scroll is unprecedented. Being able to achieve the effect at this moment, Lin Jue naturally breathed a sigh of relief. Otherwise, the characters are stuck on the screen, and they can't move, just a realistic picture, which will be a failed scene, and will greatly lose the setting of the environment and the development of the plot.

"Actually, it's not difficult, if Your Highness wants to know, I can also tell Your Highness. Though...... This is a highly confidential statement for my Grand Theatre, never for outsiders. Lin Jue said.

Lu Tianci said: "Let's hear it." ”

Guo Xu waved his hand and said: "Since it is a trade secret, I don't think there is anything to say." Lin Jue, needless to say, in fact, I'm just curious, I can see such a scene, I am already very satisfied. You don't necessarily need to know. ”

Lin Jue secretly praised in his heart, Guo Xu is really smart. He handed out a word, and he immediately understood that he didn't want to say it. This person's intelligence can be seen from this.

On the stage, the plot unfolds one by one. With the assistance of various means such as lighting, slide lights, scenery, music, and stage changes, the already ups and downs of the plot of "Red Dust" are even more exciting and addictive.

Two young girls, Hongluan and Lurui, were sold into the Qinglou, and they depended on each other from two little guesses, and gradually turned against each other because of the temptation of fame and fortune. Innocent feelings can't withstand the temptation of fame and fortune, all kinds of characters appear, conspiracies, betrayals, tricks and cruelty, mixed with the yearning for a better life, the hope of a spark, and the germ of beautiful love. The entanglement of all kinds of emotions makes people want to stop, sigh and worry.

Of course, in the end, the lover will eventually become married. The bad guys are punished, and each has his own retribution. In the last scene, the whole stage has become two worlds, the left half is a lively scene of worship and marriage full of people, and the kind and strong Lu Rui finally got Li Gongzi to marry and enter the door. On the right half is the ruined temple in the moonlight, and Hongluan, who betrayed friendship and lost everything, committed suicide by hanging from a beam. The impact of this stark visual contrast on the same stage is unparalleled. While the newcomer enters the cave room, the corpse is swaying slightly in the clear light, giving people a strange and incomprehensible sense of absurdity.

At the beginning, the audience was angry at Hongluan who betrayed her friendship, especially her unscrupulous persecution of Lurui, collusion with guests and her mother to design Lurui to destroy the bottom line she adhered to, and all kinds of gratuitous rumors and scheming caused great harm to Lurui. almost used a bag trick to trick Li Gongzi into his bed. What she did made people spurn and angry, as soon as she came on stage, there was always abuse from the audience.

However, at the end of the show, people's feelings became complicated and indescribable.

When Lu Rui heard the news, he came to the ruined temple to collect the body of Hongluan, and found a suicide note left by Hongluan to Lu Rui. When Hongluan picked up the suicide note and unfolded it, the shadow of the pale blue Hongluan appeared in the light. In order to express Hongluan, who was in this soul state, Lin Jue racked his brains. Slide projection is certainly possible, but it is obviously not realistic and shocking enough. Moreover, the movement of the slide could not show the ethereal movement of the soul, and Lin Jue was not satisfied after several attempts.

In the end, Lin Jue found a way to replace it, dyeing the prop costumes with special pigments, and making a big fuss about makeup. Under the illumination of cold light, the shape of the figure will take on an ethereal sense of line. And because it's a real-life performance, it's not a problem in terms of movement form. As for how to be able to float in the air, it is not difficult. WIA technology has long been mature in Jiangnan Grand Theater. The WIA rope, made of thousands of strands of silk, disappears in the white light, leaving almost no trace.

The audience who witnessed this scene was even more dumbfounded, not knowing whether it was true or not. I watched as the purple-blue figure on the bed sat up, then floated in the air. If you didn't know that this was a scene, I'm afraid you would really think that a ghost had appeared.

"Sister Lurui, you are spending candles in the cave room with Li Gongzi at the moment, and I am walking on Huangquan Road. You won, I lost, you are finally out of the sea of suffering, and I will be in darkness forever. I know that you came back to collect my body, you are a kind person, you will definitely do this, even if I have treated you like that, but you will not hold a grudge against me. Bless you, Sister Lurui, I hope you and Li Gongzi grow old together, and children are around their knees, this is my true words. ”

"I know that in your eyes, I, Hongluan, am an ungrateful person who betrays his feelings. You have also asked me, is the struggle for fame and fortune more important than the love between our sisters? I didn't answer you, but now I can answer you. In fact, this is not a struggle for fame and fortune, this is a struggle for life and death. In my heart, the sisterhood between you and me has always been there, always will be. However, who makes us miserable, we can't live like the daughters of the noble ladies and officials in the world, and even the ordinary peasant girls have a dull life. We are all people who have lost our freedom, and since we were sold into the green building, you and I are destined to struggle in this filthy mud. Are you willing? Of course you are not reconciled, otherwise you will not be desperately unwilling to accept customers, desperately retaining your virginity. That's just a way for you to get out of this stinking quagmire, you have to admit it......"

“…… You and I have worked hard to learn skills, are you really trying to compete for the top brand of Qinglou and become famous in the world? Of course not. In fact, you and I both understand that we are only doing this to give ourselves a chance, a chance to get out of the sea of suffering earlier. Therefore, when Li Gongzi appeared, he came to admire him. Otherwise, do you think Li Gongzi will have a good impression of the maid who pours tea and water? And everything you did to Li Gongzi is not a deliberate temptation like me. So, you and I have the same purpose, but the means are different. I confess that your methods are more clever, and mine is not as clever as yours. I lost, and I was convinced. ”

“…… To this day, it is useless to say anything. I said, if I lose, I'll die, and I did what I promised. If you ask me if I don't regret my decision, I can only tell you that I don't. I won't admit mistakes. Why should I admit my mistake? Am I wrong? How should I admit my mistake? We entered this fire pit at the age of six, and we were destined to die here and rot here for the rest of our lives, and I was not reconciled, so I naturally had to climb up and get out of this fire pit. Look at those official ladies, wealthy and noble, why can they live a lifetime, and we will be trampled on in this fire pit? In the midst of this filthy mire, if I want to show my head and catch my breath, I must step on your body and climb up. Am I wrong? The rest of the people, they are willing to rot and stink in this mud pit, but I don't want to, I have to fight for my life, so that I can live even a clean and decent life for a day, climb up, climb into the sun, am I wrong? Maybe I've stepped on someone else's shoulder, but I want to live, I can't help it. I had to climb up on their shoulders. It's a pity that halfway through the climb, I fell off. You're the one who climbs up. If I succeed, then you are the one lying in this ruined temple at this moment. Li Gongzi is the only life-saving straw, if you catch it, I will be empty-handed. But I will never regret admitting my mistake, it is not me who is wrong, I was born into a poor family, and then I was sold into a green house, all of this is beyond my control. If you want to admit your mistakes, God should admit your mistakes, and this world should admit your mistakes, not me. I'm just a woman who wants to live a normal life. ”

This long letter is completely narrated by Hongluan in the form of a ghost, and the sincerity and intensity of the emotional expression are even more infectious. Hongluan, in the form of a ghost, pointed and spoke in the air, while Xie Yingying, who played the role of Lu Rui, only stood there motionless with the letter in her hand the whole time. The whole picture is moving and static, giving people a sense of estrangement between yin and yang. It seemed that Midori was just reading the letter, and she couldn't see every move of the ghost in front of her. The voice of the soul is the content of the letter. This clever combination makes this final scene even more powerful.

Of course, what changed people's perception of Hongluan the most was the content of this letter. This inner monologue completely reversed the audience's prejudice against the character of Hongluan. They suddenly realized that the woman was actually a poor victim. The purpose of everything she did was actually very simple, just to give herself a way to live and live an ordinary life. As she finally asked, was it her fault, or was it the fault of the world? Or is it God's injustice? Isn't it natural for a humble life to pursue a happy life? What could she be wrong?

On the stage, Lu Rui moved, she bowed three times to the body of Hongluan lying on the wooden bed, and said softly: "Sister Hongluan, look at it, you haven't lived a good life, my sister will live for you." In the next life, you and I will be sisters. ”

After three worships, in the screaming laughter of the red luan, the soul dissipates like smoke, the sun shines, the light and shadow background changes, and the flowers and leaves are lush and the seasons are like spring. In the changing scenes, the music of silk and bamboo began to sound, and the curtain slowly fell.

In the theater, the applause was thunderous and enduring.

Soon after, the curtain reopened, all the actors came to the stage to bow and thank them, and the audience was even more noisy and applauded. Many of the guests in the box ordered someone to give the silver reward, and some people in the audience threw the silver ingots on the stage. I have to give countless tips at a time.

In the No. 1 box, Lin Jue smiled with satisfaction. The success of the premiere is inevitable, and what surprised Lin Jue was that Qin Xiaoxiao's performance talent was fully utilized. She is a diligent and hard-working woman, and the most brilliant role of Hongluan is simply alive under her interpretation. When the audience scolded him, Lin Jue knew that Qin Xiaoxiao was a success in this premiere. Jiangnan Grand Theater has another pillar, there is no doubt about it.

Guo Xu, the king of Huai, who had been watching the play attentively, applauded lightly, nodded and said, "Lin Jue, I really didn't expect it." This king used to be very disdainful of this kind of thing, and always thought that songs, dances, poems, and repertoire were meaningless things, which would only charm people's hearts and make people indulge in pleasure. But today, I have to admit that I was biased. It's no wonder that people everywhere in the capital are talking about how good-looking your Jiangnan Grand Theater repertoire, aside from the content of this book, just these means and the form of acting are breathtaking. I really didn't expect you to have so much ingenuity. ”

Lin Jue smiled and said, "Your Highness's false praise, it's all a bit strange. The art of obscene skills is difficult to get into the hall of elegance. It's also to put it bluntly, but I just want to attract people's attention and make some money. If you want to make money, you naturally have to use your brain. Of course, it is not a good thing to be able to win the happiness of everyone and get physical and mental pleasure. At least it's much better than gambling and going to the kiln. ”

Guo Xu laughed and said: "You are also direct, making money on your lips." But it's no wonder that in the previous turmoil, it was said that your Lin family was implicated and your family property was fined. I heard that you are the head of the Lin family, and there are hundreds of people in your Lin family, and hundreds of mouths need to be fed, so naturally you need the head of the family to find a way to make money to feed them. And for good reason. ”

Lin Jue was stunned and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Highness, for your understanding." ”

Guo Xu turned his head to a guard behind him and said, "Go, give a reward of five hundred taels of silver to express your heart." ”

Lin Jue hurriedly said: "I can't help it, I can't help it, we don't actually rely on rewards here, but just sell tickets." ”

Guo Xu smiled: "Didn't my second uncle's cousin give a reward of 1,000 taels?" I don't have any money as him, but I can still get five hundred taels. He knows that I am here, so I will not compare my army with him, but I cannot call him to speak. ”

Lin Jue had to keep his mouth shut, and when it came to the fighting spirit with the little prince Guo Kun, Lin Jue naturally wouldn't say a word, so as not to ask for trouble.

After some commotion, the actors withdrew, and although the audience was still unsatisfied, they had to slowly leave the stage while buzzing enthusiastically.

Lin Jue saw that Guo Xu had no intention of leaving, so he had to get up and arch his hand: "Your Highness, please forgive Lin Jue for being rude, Lin Jue has to leave for a while, the guest leaves, and Lin Jue wants to send it off." The actors and crew of the performance should also be praised. ”

Guo Xu sat still, waved his hand and smiled: "You go, I'll wait for you to come back here." You're busy with your own. ”

Lin Jue asked tentatively, "Your Highness, doesn't you have something to order?" But it doesn't hurt to say that. ”

Guo Xu said: "It's not a hurry, you can come back after you make arrangements, let's talk about it in detail." If you think this king is in the way here, I can go to the restaurant across the street to book a private room and wait for you. ”

Lin Jue hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need, Your Highness will sit here for the time being, I will order someone to add tea and snacks, and when I have sent some things, I will turn back immediately." ”

Guo Xu nodded and waved his hand: "Go, go, I'll wait." ”

Lin Jue bowed and withdrew, thinking: Sure enough, it's not just for congratulations, but the relationship between himself and this His Highness has not yet reached this point. But I don't know what he's here for. Although full of suspicions, guests naturally need to be smiling when they leave. Standing at the door of the theater, a group of people left with smiles on their faces, full of praise for the play. When the mother and daughter of the Fang family went out, their eyes were even more red and swollen, as if they had cried.

Lin Jue stepped forward and smiled at the other party's wife: "Master, how is this play?" ”

Mrs. Fang's eyes were red, and she said angrily: "Bastard boy, the harmful master and mother cried." Such a beautiful play, why didn't you invite me to watch it earlier? Isn't it already such a good show since Hangzhou? ”

Lin Jue smiled and said: "Master, this is a rake, when I was in Hangzhou, I invited you and my husband to come to the play, but you always refused." What can I do? How about now? Do you want me to leave a box for you, and my wife can come and see it at any time? ”

Mrs. Fang nodded and said, "If you want it, you won't need to use the box, and you will have a seat when you come." I asked the little girl next to you, and she said that the price of the box is the lowest eighty taels, my God, doesn't this make you earn eighty taels of silver? It's better to sit down. ”

Lin Jue laughed and said, "Master, if you say eighty taels, what about eight hundred taels?" My wife is here, no matter how expensive it is, I have to vacate it. This is a piece of my filial piety. ”

Mrs. Fang smacked her lips and sighed, "Hey, it's a pity...... It's a pity that you and Qiu'er ...... Hey, let's not talk about it. Here we go. Go back and cook for your husband. ”

Mrs. Fang walked forward, Fang Huanqiu followed, Lin Jue saw that her eyes were also red and swollen, and asked in a low voice, "Look at the crying?" ”

Fang Huanqiu nodded, she couldn't tell Lin Jue how she felt just now. Especially the last scene, the scene where one person was worshipping in the church and the other was hanging himself, reminded Fang Huanqiu of that desperate night a few months ago. That day, Lin Jue and the little county lord were visiting and getting married, and they were all disappointed, and moved with their mother overnight. At that time, I also wanted to die.

"It's just a play, don't be involved. Originally, I wanted you and your wife to stay tonight, but I have a guest here who can't leave, so I can only give up. I'll ask you to come out another day, let's go to Xishan Station to see the maple leaves. Lin Jue said with a smile.

Fang Huanqiu nodded and was just about to speak, when Mrs. Fang in front of her turned her head and shouted, "Qiu'er, hurry up, it's too late to go back, your father is going to be verbose again." ”

Fang Huanqiu agreed, smiled at Lin Jueyan, turned around and walked away quickly.
