[Rebirth] King of Theater

There is another episode when Gwynplaine is entangled by Josiana.

Ursus, the blind girl Tia, and the wolf Ursus domesticated were expelled.

Let's not discuss why those big shots always make things difficult for these poor little people at the bottom.

Just Gwynplaine.

He didn't realize what a bad joke the unpredictable fate had played with him.

On the contrary, he is always habitually thinking of the best of things - becoming a duke seems to have some money and rights, so what should I do?Ah, to take Ursus and Tia and live a good life together!Then, go help others!Help those poor people!

On the stage, the kind and simple smiling man talked to himself with the above words, looking forward to the future with great anticipation.

Moreover, Randy, who played the innocent boy in the previous scenes and had no chance to show off, can finally show his singing voice on stage again.

This song can be called simply [Gwynplaine's Justice Fantasy], or it can be called [Idealist's Utopia].

The whole lyrics are quite naive, Madonna, something like [let's give the surplus wealth to the poor and poor without clothes], which to most people is pure nonsense.

But Randy's singing at this moment is so beautiful.

It is difficult to use specific words to describe the dreamlike enjoyment that a gifted and talented singer brings to the audience when he officially sings.

But if he insisted on describing it, his singing at this moment is probably like a thick woolen blanket covering his legs on a cold winter night, gently wrapping people in warmth and comfort, and the whole world is surrounded by ideal brilliance. Even if everyone knows that it is an unattainable dream, it seems that as long as the Buddha's singing is still there, everyone can live in such a safe and happy paradise forever...

The whole song is so soft that it is almost dreamlike.

Unknowingly, Gwynplaine's sincere and sincere heart is fully displayed in this song full of naive idealism.

At this time, the audience didn't think the song was stupid anymore.

The character of Gwynplaine is kind, pure and almost a saint. No one would really hate a saint.

So, when Randy sang the last line [I hope everyone can be happy], the theater applauded thunderously.

The audience is using the most direct way to enthusiastically express their love for the characters.

Next, the curtain fell, and several actors walked up to the curtain to perform a brief transitional scene.

They played the role of members of the House of Lords, who were gathering to gossip about the 'new Duke of Crown Charles' at this time.

These people are vegetarians, and they don't care about any major national affairs or the sufferings of the people. Instead, they chatted and chatted endlessly about the news that "the new Sir CronCharlie was once a smiley man".

Until the solemn music sounds!

The actors on the stage who were "gossiping" all looked at the audience in the hall with a stunned expression.

Their performance made the audience a little confused.

The audience in the front row even frowned involuntarily, muttering in their hearts: "Damn, what are you watching?"

However, there was a strange commotion from the back row of the auditorium, which caused the audience in the front row to turn their heads and look over in bewilderment.

A beam of light shone into the auditorium!

Randy, the main character of the whole show, the actor who played the smiling character Winplaine, unexpectedly appeared in the back row of the auditorium so abruptly.

Some of the audience around exclaimed in disbelief.

At this time, the Laughing Man's attire had taken on a completely new look—a red velvet robe lined with white silk on the outside of his satin clothes, a short ermine cape over his shoulders, a shawl inlaid with gold on his shoulders, and a The kind of white wig that nobles would wear.

Behind him, several attendants were holding up a hat as if to hand it to him.

When all the audience realized his existence...

Accompanied by the magnificent music, he took the hat and started walking along the aisle of the auditorium towards the stage.

During this process, some actors who did not know when, probably when the audience was too fascinated by the plot, sneaked into the remote corners of the auditorium, stood up and faced Gwen when the lights came on. Pulan bowed and saluted: "Hello, my lord."

Their voices echo through the theater through the speakers, and there is no need to worry about the audience being confused.

The entourage following Gwynplaine also reminded him: "My lord, you don't need to return the gift, just touch the brim of your hat."

As a result, some viewers who are close can enjoy the wonderful special effects makeup of the Laughing Man, and observe how lovable Gwynplaine played by Randy-he has a straight face and clear eyes Confused and embarrassed, but he still had to force himself to pretend that nothing had happened, heeded the advice, raised his hand, and touched the brim of his hat clumsily...

The atmosphere in the performance hall was completely ignited at once.

Although it was only such a short journey, the audience was aroused with a strong sense of participation by such an ingenious arrangement.

The characters in the play miraculously come out of the plot, and they are no longer illusory existences, but actually appear among them.

In a trance, they seem to be part of the play, participating in the performance of the play together with the actors.

Wait until Gwynplaine returns to the stage...

Many audience members were still unable to suppress the surging excitement in their hearts, and their eyes were still fixed on the stage eagerly.

A congregation in the House of Lords began to deliberate under the presidency of the Queen.

Her Majesty's clerk read out a series of proposals, but they were all a few. Her Majesty needs 100 million pounds to repair her residence; the cathedral needs to be expanded, and the salary of priests should also be increased...

As for where does the money come from?

Of course, it is to drain the blood and sweat of the people at the bottom, to demand more levies and miscellaneous taxes, and to impose more severe tortures and cruel laws!

The lighting engineer slowly turned the lights on Gwynplaine, the idealist who was singing "I hope everyone can be happy" before, was dumbfounded.

This is unreasonable!

This is to drive the common people to death.

But such absurd proposals were proposed one by one and passed.

Gwynplaine couldn't sit still anymore, he began to look left and right, and moved his body funny, hoping to find someone who felt the same as himself that something was wrong.However, this move not only failed to help him find like-minded people, but instead caused the surrounding congressmen to cast disgusted looks at him and some comments of "he really can't get on the stage".

It's time for the last proposal - to increase the annual salary of [-] pounds for Her Majesty's husband, Her Majesty the Prince.

Members of Parliament expressed their views one by one: [agreed]; [agreed]; [agreed].

Until Gwynplaine.

"I don't agree," he said.

There was no sound on the stage.

The queen, the clerk, and the gentlemen of the House of Lords looked indifferently at the man who dared to raise objections.

So next, it's time for Gwynplaine to state his opinion and persuade everyone to spend [-] pounds to help the people...

In other words, it's time to test the actor's line skills!

Randy's voice was not loud at this time, and he didn't have much momentum at first glance.

This is because the character of Gwynplaine is not a strong person, he is just sensitive and kind, so when he first started to speak, although his tone was serious, he was still innocent, gentle, polite, tactful and not hurtful De: [My lords, you are rich and powerful, you are happy, and the sun is always shining on you... You are on top, but you don’t know what the life below is like.Coincidentally, I came from below...]

Gwynplaine was frank and frank, she didn't hide her life experience, and she didn't think there was any shame in this life experience.

He sang a song [The Misery of the People], and if the audience with a good memory can detect that the tune of this song is somewhat familiar, because it appears in the first act of the play, which is in Gwynplaine. Abandoned by child traffickers, when struggling to survive in the wilderness...

Al deliberately made such an arrangement, and the intention is obvious.

What was the wilderness of nature before is now the wilderness of the human heart.

In this way, Randy used a beautiful but sad singing voice to slowly express the suffering of the people at the bottom:

—Hunger is written on the face of the old woman; prostitution is written on the face of the young girl.

——The requirements of workers are not high, they just want to find a job that can make a living.

It has to be said that Randy not only has a convenient voice, but also has excellent singing skills.

In this song, many of his treatments are the finishing touches. For example, he deliberately made some vibrato processing on some longer sentences, the voice sounds a little choked, and the singing immediately adds a little delicate And true, the expression of emotion will be in place naturally.

Therefore, many viewers listened with tears in their eyes.

Especially Luke's side, which magically became the hardest hit area.

Those brothers who came from the slums almost never went to school, and they didn't know what Hugo was. After being touched by the plot, they cried and tugged at Luke's sleeve, and asked, "Al, is this for you?" Did we write it?"

People who hate singing, but people who like to write songs.

Luke was conflicted in his heart and didn't want to answer at all.

But no matter how moving the song was, the queen and MPs on the stage were indifferent.

Moreover, because the upper half of Gwynplaine's face looked at these people with sadness and earnestness, the lower half of her face always maintained a weird smile because of the operation...

So, someone looked at his face, looked, looked, and suddenly burst out laughing.

This laughter quickly infected everyone, and those cold-hearted nobles clapped their hands and laughed loudly: "Haha, I understand, this is a performance, right?" "Yes, he is a smiling face Man!" "Yes, one more, the Laughing Man!" "Salute to you, Lord Clown!"

Gwynplaine was at a loss and tried her best to continue talking about serious things.

But in return, the audience burst into laughter, and everyone took him as a trick.

The face that was always smiling was not convincing at all.

No one will listen to him carefully.

Gwynplaine felt the humiliation for the first time,

He looked around blankly...

Whose masterpiece is this face!

It was the high king who sold him; it was the poor tramp who raised him.

Human character is not determined by status.

The suffering people should have their own living space.

Gwynplaine tried again: "Everyone should be a free man."

The noble gentlemen laughed and shouted: "Listen, listen! Listen to what he can say."

Gwynplaine raised her voice again: "Sense, progress, responsibility, rights, honor and honesty, people should not deviate from the right way casually. Everyone, I am nothing, just a voice. Everyone has a mouth, and I am their mouth." Howling... Do you know what pain is? Pain is poverty, I have known it since I was a child; it is cold, I have trembled from it; Come from the crowd, I want everyone to listen carefully..."

The MPs laughed even harder.

But what I didn't expect was that these malicious ridicules not only made Gwynplaine's character painful, but also angered the audience in the hall.

Some spectators in the auditorium actually shouted out of righteous indignation: "Listen to him! Listen to him!"

The voice was so loud that it was impossible to ignore, even the actors performing on the stage were startled, and there were a few inexperienced group performers who almost forgot to continue laughing.

Luckily Randy grew up on stage.

He stepped forward, pointed at the audience below, and added a line in a stroke of genius: "Listen! This is the voice of the people."

The actors on the stage quickly returned to their senses.

An old actor who played the nobleman was the first to respond: "I didn't hear the voice of the people, I only heard a monster telling a joke."

The rest of the actors were able to continue the plot along the way.

They sneered "Look, look at this monster!" They refused to listen to the cries of pain from the people at the bottom, but instead yelled "Tell me something more interesting, the Laughing Man", and some whispered below: "Ha , Croncharli, the traitor who betrayed the monarchy, was finally punished in the grave, and this son is his retribution."

Gwynplaine was dazed by the ridicule of these people.

His face was pale, his fingers were trembling, and he was gradually collapsing.

Fate is like a trap.

The abyss has opened its mouth to him ahead of time...

The double bass and a dozen or so violins played simultaneously, giving a feeling of deep, dark, volcanic lava.

Randy bowed his head in silence for a long time.

He silently brewed his emotions, preparing for the most intense performance in the whole show.

The performance of the band in the orchestra pit is stronger than the sound!

It wasn't until a burst of crazy laughter broke out from Randy's side that the music gradually lowered its voice as if being suppressed. Then, the hoarse voice let out an almost beast-like roar from low to high, like a storm. The music is coming soon, crystal tears flow down the cheeks, but there is still a weird smile on the corner of the mouth...

At this moment, the passionate conductor raised his arms high in the air.

The hem of his tuxedo flew up with the violent movement, his head seemed to be impacted by a huge sound wave, and he tilted back slightly, but from another angle, he seemed to be holding it high.

Along with the stormy music, Randy sang the most important song of the Laughing Man "Gwynplaine's Prophecy", or it can be called "The People Will Victory".

In this song, Gwynplaine passionately predicted the end of the aristocracy; predicted that the class in this country would eventually disappear; predicted that the people would no longer kneel, and would stand up one day; This decaying paradise built on top of hell will eventually crumble!

The whole stage trembled and shook under the impact of this song!

The audience in the front row faced the turbulent emotions like a volcanic eruption, so that their internal organs throbbed with the singing.

But even at this time, those noble gentlemen on the stage are still accompaniment with laughter.

They laughed and danced and danced... There is no cure.

Gwynplaine took off the wig on her head, took off the expensive bright red uniform that symbolized a member of parliament, and threw the ermine cape away!

He ran wildly on the stage, sang loudly, and screamed desperately until his voice gradually dried up and was no longer as beautiful as it used to be. Every note is launching wave after wave of charges towards the unfair world!

This song is like shouting rather than singing.

Randy's voice finally went completely hoarse in the second half of the song.

He fell down and lay on his back on the stage, almost collapsed from exhaustion, with that eccentric smile on his face, and slowly sang the last stanza in a tormented voice: [When that day comes, The thunderbolt on your heads... is my smile].
