Chapter 994: Legend (Part II)
"You wouldn't have thought that it was actually such a group of cute little animals that conquered the world! Yes, they conquered me! Conquer Neosfia! It is bound to conquer the world! When you sit in front of the stage, you will find that your sight, your hearing, your breath and even your soul are already controlled by them! Under the headline "The Coming of the Conquerors," the editor of the Dramatist magazine published the above article, which at first glance looked like he was writing a military review.
"Under the guidance of two apostolic geniuses who seem to be the goddess Aphrodite, the Lakelight Theatre Company delivered one of their greatest performances since its inception. Of course, it may also be the greatest performance of the year in all of Neosfia! We have reason to celebrate, and all those who love the performing and theatrical arts have a reason to celebrate! The advent of such a once-in-a-century acting genius will bring a prosperous era! Not to mention, we're about to have two! "Leonard of Ocean? Kyle is so authentic. He is full of praise for the two protagonists, believing that the real king of the theater stage has arrived. After that, it will be a great era for the two queens to compete and echo each other! What, you said that Sarabellia's cast is anonymous and can't be sure it's a girl? Soul light! With that figure, that dance, that singing, and the stunning beauty under the half-section of the mask, it must be a man who is so cute...... Ah no, how can it be a boy who is so cute?
Mr. Kyle says that he has fallen under the pomegranate skirt of that person, and even if he doesn't know "her" name yet, he will never allow others to defile his goddess!
"It's an absurd, uninhibited, but cruel story that touches everyone. The original author's worldview is beyond our imagination, but it seems to be awe-inspiring. When you have been shocked by such a bizarre worldview, when you are lamenting the tragedy of the fate of Grizebella and the cats, before you know it, the song that can be passed down to the world is also reflected in your mind. Thank the gods! Thank you Aphrodite! Thank you to the world! Let's live in such a great time! Thank you also to Mr. Lin Ge, an author who has never heard of him before, who single-handedly brought us into a dreamlike miracle compiled by a master! Such a great genius can always make us feel the truth and beauty...... Even if this in itself is actually a rather sad and even cruel story! "Farona, editor-in-chief of the art section of the Neosfia Times? Morat said. She is a woman, so compared to the male critics who are crazy about the two heroines, she has to appear calm and calm, and can finally appreciate and comment from a purely artistic point of view.
"What else do you need to say? I just want to see it again. Compared to "Cats", compared to the master Lin Ge who created such works, myself, and all my works, are rubbish! "Rainbow Theatre Troupe's famous choreographer and songwriter, Stephen? Cameron is so authentic. When he said this, his expression was quite complex and subtle, as if there was a kind of despair that could not be loved, but there was a kind of insight and calmness that penetrated the truth, and the whole person's realm seemed to have been raised to a higher level.
Of course, compared to the previous ones, they are either obsessed with the plot and music, or obsessed with the actors, or have been evolved, etc...... Neosfia's most famous art critic and self-confessed number one fan of "Cats": Robert ? The article published by Ajite in "Chenhai Metropolis Daily" is more in-depth:
"I've said before that the revue is the most ornate of all the stage theatre forms, but it is also the most difficult form. It requires an actor to balance his acting skills, lines, body and excellent singing and dancing skills. It needs to use song and dance to set off and connect the plot, but it must also take into account the quality of its lyrics and songs, and it also needs to ensure that the stage is spacious enough and the set to match the dance. A truly great revue needs to satisfy all classes, all audiences. The public needs to see pleasing stories, shocking songs and dances, and beautiful actors; Musicians and dancers look at songs, music and choreography with a professional eye in the hope of finding new elements that move them; Critics and professionals hold magnifying glasses and observe every detail of the play, both good and bad. However, today, such a perfect drama that can meet the needs of all types of audiences was born. ”
"We're seeing the return of a genius...... Yes, the Miss Yagomi who played Grizebella was originally a top student who graduated from the Neosfia Drama Academy, and she was also the genius who was in the limelight back then! Now, she has finally returned to the world where she is supposed to be, and has brought with her a genius who is no less than her! The world where one person reigns supreme will be lonely. It was when she found her own Sarabellia that Grizebella was finally willing to return! However, in any case, we have reason to look forward to, to look forward to the arrival of a great era! ”
"I hope that any reader who reads this article will take a look at Cats, and you will not be disappointed. If there is, it must not be the problem of the drama, but your problem-" Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders and put the newspaper on the table: "Anyway, didn't we make money after that?" Or did someone else make the money? I always feel that this statement is recruiting us to black. ”
"Mr. Edgett is a well-known critic who will praise mediocre works because of money, but he will never attack a great work because of money." Sitting across from him, Hurricane smiled and said, "Although I know that you have always been prejudiced against us people in the literary and artistic circles, if you fire a map cannon casually, I won't agree to it." ”
"It's just a play, and it's only been a week, and this is a person in the literary and artistic circles? The literary and artistic world is really a very good place to make a living! According to your calculations, Nicole and Lim are also in this circle? Well, one of them is basically equivalent to a director, and although the other is a background board, he is the lead dancer. Even Nanoka and Fett? They helped us design the set and did a little bit of magic. Well, the effect is really good, but afterwards they asked me for 200,000 Baker's material and labor fees? This is already more expensive than the ticket price of a show, right? Do you want to dedicate yourself to art? ”
"There's no way, if you want to achieve the effect you want Lu Xi, it's difficult to achieve a small theater and a stage, of course, you have to reluctantly use magic to try it out. Of course, the stage has now been moved to the Sapphire Hall of the Jewel Coast Grand Theater, so naturally there is no need for magic to barely support it. Tempest shrugged, "But that's none of our business. ”
"Yes, it doesn't matter. However, Miss Helena and they are all excellent actors, as long as you don't encounter a monster like you who will be unbalanced by the stage effects, at least you can fully express the effect that "Cats" should have. Lu Xi looked at the wind: "Listening to your tone, it seems to be a bit of a pity?" ”
"I can't say it's a pity, but I feel a little emotional. I have already chosen the path of a demon path cultivator, well, and because of someone's gift, I have also embarked on the road of no return for a capitalist and a powerful boss behind the scenes...... Performing on stage was a dream of my childhood, and now it has come true in the most perfect and legendary way, and that is enough. Well, it can be said that I have no regrets in my acting life. The wind smiled freely, an expression of youth that would eventually pass away, and the breeze was so light that it was a mess.
Yes, as Lucy and Tempest say, they are now legends, and they have also left a legendary back for the whole of Neosphia, and indeed for the theatrical history of the world, waving their hands and not taking away the clouds.
"Cats", which features Grizebella of the Wind and Sarabellia of Lu Xi, was screened for a week at the small Lake Light Theater and was sold out every day. Audiences lined up in small theaters and narrow backstreets, but tickets were still hard to come by. If everyone's thirst is not satisfied, it is easy to brew into dissatisfaction, and finally evolve into some kind of sad group incident, if it is not solved, it will become a problem at that time, and maybe the innocent drama "Cats" will have to bear the blame.
Thankfully, when the Gem Coast Theatre soon announced that Cats would be staged in their biggest theater, it was a slight relief from everyone's frustration.
However, what many people don't know is that when "Cats" moved to the Grand Theater, its protagonists were no longer the legendary Windwind and Lu Xi, but were replaced by Miss Helena, who was healed and discharged from the hospital, and Wind's little junior in the Taztakara Theater Company, who seemed to be called Maca or something. Although these two girls are young and not particularly famous, their acting skills and singing and dancing skills are enough to support this play, and they are also quite suitable candidates as replacements. As a result, the audience and critics who saw "Cats" for the first time applauded this masterpiece because there was no comparison, but those who saw the god-like performances of Hurricane and Lu Xi in the small theater were always a little unconvinced.
"It's the gap between the legendary and the ordinary. Really, I'm not aiming at the current actors, Miss Helena and Miss Maca are actually good enough. I mean, compared to the first version of "Cats" in the small theater, everyone is ...... Ah no, I mean, it's still a lot worse. ”
No way, the saddest thing in the world is that there is a legend that is so great that people can't look at it directly, and it can't be surpassed at all. Miss Helena and Miss Maca, who worked hard enough, were really sad in comparison.
Fortunately, not many people watched the small theater that week, and a few complaints could not hide the overwhelming praise that followed. "Cats" is so popular anyway, its music and peripherals are also popular, and Miss Helena, who was the first to play Grizebella in the Grand Theater, plus everyone in the Lake Light Theater Troupe is also popular. Miss Maca, the little junior of the gale, is also on fire - although she used to be very good. The Jewel Coast Grand Theatre was sold out for a month in a row, and even the standing tickets were sold out. Such a hot market naturally drove the hot sales of the rest of the dramas, you know, many people can't buy tickets for "Cats", so they can only retreat to watch something else.
All in all, all the people or groups who have been involved with "Cats" have reaped enough benefits from the staging of this century-level drama, which can be said to be everyone's benefit. Such a scene, even if it is a bad movie, it is impossible not to be popular.
In the subsequent history of the theater world, "Cats" has been a classic and handed down the repertoire, and has been performed until hundreds of years later, in the era of the leading industry. There are countless stars who have become famous by playing this play. However, those who have seen the first version of the small theater have been declaring that compared to the legendary first Grizebella and the first Sarabellia, all the actors in later generations are rubbish. However, the sad thing is that in that era when there were no cameras, future generations had no way of knowing what kind of charm the first version of "Cats" and those two legendary actors had.
Over time, "Labor and management have seen the first version of "Cats"! It has become a quite compelling line in the drama world of Neosfia, and considering that because of the existence of the immortal seed, this line also has a strong vitality after hundreds of years. And the same, the "legendary" first Grizebella Yagomi? Miss Hayat, and the unknown actor of Sarabellia (although many later historians have shown that it should be the great Luxi?). Berencaster, who is also the original author of "Cats", "Mr. Lin Ge" himself), has thus become an urban legend similar to the god of drama.
It is said that if young actors, teenagers and girls who want to pursue a career in theater as their goal in life, if they can collect the championship trophies of the seven youth drama competitions in Neosfia, they will be able to summon these two legendary actors to come and fulfill a reasonable wish: for example, to be able to have the beauty of upside down beings, the memory of lines at a high level, the strong appeal of limbs and lines, and so on......
But in any case, for the wind that once wanted to pursue theatrical performance as a goal and dream in life, youth ended in a rather legendary way. What the future holds has nothing to do with her.
"It's been so long...... Now, too, it's time to gather your mind and get down to business. "Destined to become a legend, or a wind that has become a legend, the performance is so indifferent. When she achieves a goal, she can completely forget this sense of accomplishment and start to challenge the new unknown. is obviously a soft girl, but she is so cool and messy, which may be an important reason why she can become the strongest among her friends.
In comparison, another guy who has also become a legend, that is, our protagonist Lu Xitong shoes, has never had a sense of reality. Strictly speaking, if he wasn't forced by the system, he wouldn't even want to show his face on stage, let alone wear women's clothes in full view and under the lights...... fortunately
(The premiere of "Cats" was a great success, with a praise rate of 99.5%, a film critic praise index of 5 stars, a Douban score of 9.8, and a freshness of 97% on Rotten Tomatoes!) Mission "Legend Superstar" completed. Gain 5000 experience points, and the title "Star" will be upgraded to "Actress". )
(Actress: +75% success rate of mouth cannons, +20% success rate of covert actions, +5 friendship of all characters.) )
Okay, this means that you can brush your face wherever you go in the future. Although I have long been able to brush my face everywhere. In addition, as for why she is a "movie queen" instead of an "actor" or something, Lu Xi said that he is completely willing to accept this level of malice, or he feels very emotional to accept such a setting anyway.
"It's not a good job...... Strictly speaking, what we are doing now cannot be regarded as completely serious. Especially from where we stand...... Well, though, if you look at the story and the legend of the protagonist, we seem to be quite dedicated. ”
Yes, at the time of the above conversation, it was the third day of "Cats" at the Jewel Coast Grand Theatre. At this moment, Lu Xi, Hurricane, and their friends were on the Qiyao Aurora, and they had already sailed to the open sea of the Neosphia Islands.
For a real RPG protagonist, whether it is being an actor, exterminating the underworld, doing business, arranging an industry to be a big capitalist or a big boss, everything is not a proper business. At least for the cosmic observers outside the box.
Sure enough, only treasure hunting, only exploration, only pushing the boss, only solving those ancient history and natural mysteries and picking up a lot of treasures and equipment by the way, and upgrading the power by the way, is the real thing to do.
"Now, Drake the Goldenbeard's treasure, I'm here! I'm the man who is destined to be the king of the pirates...... Uh, the protagonist! Sitting on the bow of the Qiyao Aurora, Lu Xi announced to his friends. (To be continued.) )
