Elf King, Professional Vase

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, the atmosphere of the New Year in Wangze City has not yet dissipated, and there is no holiday, so the streets are very lively, mostly with a large number of families.

And this year, there are many more tourists from other places in Wangze City, because the Four Seasons Flower Troupe will open its first stop in Wangze City, and a large number of tourists come from all over the world, and they don't want to miss this rare provincial capital.

Many musical theater audiences choose to come early, but fortunately, they will not be too rushed for a tour of Wangze City.

Xiao Song is also one of them.

Wangze City is located in the south of the coast. Even in winter, the temperature will not be too low, basically hovering above 0 degrees.

And the few days of the Spring Festival is a rare good weather, the average outdoor temperature is around 3~5 degrees, and it is rare for people who originally stayed indoors to go out for a walk.

Different from those who like to go to popular spots to check in, Xiao Song prefers to go to those old neighborhoods after arriving in a new city, and occasionally he will be attracted to some small restaurants by the smell of rice. , to discover surprising local delicacies.

It was the same when I came to Wangze City this time, strolling in the small alleys with mottled walls, Xiao Song took the camera and took pictures casually.

Turning a street corner, a theater suddenly appeared in front of me. The overall style of the theater was a bit old, but the outside was painted very freshly, obviously it was regularly repaired.

"Spring Rain Theater?"

The name of the theater should be written with a brush, flowing and flowing, chic and wanton.

There was still a promotional poster in front of the door, Xiao Song stepped forward, "Watch "The Phantom of the Opera" for free?"

Xiao Song's expression changed, he remembered that the variety show related to musicals was really popular recently, but he was not interested in variety shows, but he was very interested in musical performances.

If it weren't for the tour of the Four Seasons Flower Troupe, he would most likely go to watch it live.

However, after the Four Seasons Flower Troupe announced the news of the tour, Xiao Song's full attention was on how to grab tickets.

Tickets for the Four Seasons Flower Troupe are hard to get. In addition to the domestic musical theater audience, there are also many foreign people who want to come and grab them together. It's really inhumane.

Fortunately, after mobilizing his relatives and friends, Xiao Song finally managed to grab a front row ticket.

Xiao Song raised his left wrist and glanced at the time. There are still two hours before the official performance of the Four Seasons Flower Troupe, and if the cart passes by here, it will take 20-30 minutes at most.

You can go in and have a look first.

After making up his mind, Xiao Song stepped forward and asked, "Hello, if I haven't booked a ticket in advance, can I go in and watch it?"

"Yes." The staff responsible for guiding said with a smile, "Please follow me."

After entering the Spring Rain Theater, Xiao Song looked around casually, and found that the seats here were not full, but the best seat in the front row had long been occupied, so he found a seat slightly closer to the front. down.

Most of the people who came to the scene were fans of Su Bai, Meng Wen'an and Yu Qin, and many people who were interested in musicals mostly chose the Four Seasons Flower Troupe.

Without him, compared with a well-known troupe that has been famous for a long time and has a stable performance quality, the Xiang Xinmei Troupe and the three actors in the film and television industry are really not enough.

After sitting down, Xiao Song heard the whispered conversations of nearby fans.

"Ah, I was worried that there would be no seats if I came directly, but there were so few people."

"In principle, it shouldn't be. I remember that all the tickets on the ticketing website were sold out."

"Maybe it's because it's free, so many people don't cherish it at all?"

"There is another possibility!"

"What is it?"

"You said, could someone do it on purpose? Deliberately snatch a lot of tickets, and then deliberately don't come. Anyway, the tickets are free, and there will be no loss."

The main purpose of selling tickets on the ticketing website is to confirm the number of people, so as to prevent fans from other places from rushing over and not being able to enter to watch. Wouldn't that be a waste of time and money for fans?

When Xiao Song heard it, he couldn't help being a little funny, probably because fans always have filters for their favorite idols, right?

In fact, in Xiao Song's subconscious mind, this play, probably Meng Wen'an, Meng Yingdi, still has something to watch.

Backstage

Seeing that the concert hall was not even full of audience, someone couldn't help but feel disappointed, "I thought there would be a lot of people!"

"It's already very good." Another person reminded him, "Don't forget, the performance of the Four Seasons Flower Troupe is also today. I guess many people have gone to see the performances of the Four Seasons Flower Troupe."

"Hey..." the man sighed, "I just don't quite understand, why do we have to pick the same day?"

It's like running into someone who wears the same style as me on the road, whoever is ugly is embarrassed, and the worst thing is, this time they are the ones who are obviously ugly.

"Okay, don't sigh, you haven't seen it during the rehearsal, isn't that good?"

"Aren't I worried?" The man muttered, "I always feel that we will be ridiculed even worse in the future."

"It's not that we did something wrong, so why mock us?"

"It's not like you haven't seen the comments on the Internet. They clearly explained that there was a problem with the theater, but there are always people who insist on pinning it on the program crew, poor coordination or something. Hey...it's not what we thought."

"Okay, hurry up and get ready!"

Su Bai and Meng Wen'an almost heard their conversation just now, Meng Wen'an wanted to cover Su Bai's ears, but Su Bai stopped him.

"Brother Meng, I'm not that fragile." Su Bai said helplessly.

Meng Wenan said, "I know, but..."

"If I was so easily influenced, I wouldn't be standing here today." Su Bai held Meng Wen'an's hand instead, "I don't have any mess in my mind now, I only have one thought, act well and don't make mistakes. "

Su Bai had already done his makeup a long time ago, with slightly curly long brown hair, tights with red and green stripes, and fringed skirt, if he was not familiar with him, he would never have thought that the person standing in front of them was actually a boy.

Meng Wenan wore a silver mask on the right side of his face, his hair was brushed back and pomaded, making it look smooth and shiny.

However, if you only look at half of the face, you can't imagine how terrifying the right cheek after the special effects makeup is done.

The Viscount played by Yu Qin is about to appear in the prologue. He has been waiting on the stage for a long time. He is muttering something in his mouth. After listening carefully, he finds that what he is muttering is his lines.

Even though he has learned it by heart and practiced it many times, the feeling of performing in front of the camera is completely different from performing in front of countless audiences on the stage, and Yu Qin feels that he is damn nervous.

"You can't be nervous, you can't be nervous." Yu Qin secretly encouraged himself, "Just treat the audience as a group of cameras. Don't forget the words, don't forget..."

Suddenly, all the lights in the theater were suddenly turned off. Knowing that the performance was about to start, the audience immediately sat up straight and looked towards the stage.

A beam of light fell on the stage of the theater, and as the curtain slowly opened, an auction table appeared in the center of the stage.

As the auction hammer fell with a "snap", the performance officially began.

The prologue of "The Phantom of the Opera" was an auction, in which the aged Viscount Raul bought a music box.

In the melodious voice of the music box, Viscount Raul looked at the music box with nostalgic and sad eyes.

"allector's piece deeded..."

A soft voice sounded, and if you listen carefully, you can still hear the faint trembling, full of nostalgia and sadness, Yu Qin seems to have completely immersed himself in the world of Viscount Raul.

The fans sitting near Xiao Song saw the Viscount Raul played by Yu Qin, and there was a moment of commotion. Although they quickly reminded each other to be quiet, Xiao Song still couldn't help frowning.

As a lover of musicals, he is no stranger to the classic musical "The Phantom of the Opera". Xiao Song watched all the versions he could find, and went to watch it on site during the world tour. Therefore, it is unavoidable to be a little harsh on the group of people who are currently performing on the stage.

However, in all fairness, up to now, Xiao Song thinks that the performance of the performers on stage is quite satisfactory, not amazing.

On the stage, the auction has reached Lot 666, the huge chandelier that sparked everything.

In the theater specially designed for "The Phantom of the Opera", the huge chandelier would really fall down, but obviously, this scene at the Spring Rain Theater is just a simulation of some effects.

As soon as the auctioneer finished speaking, the sound of the pipe organ suddenly sounded in the theater, creating a thrilling feeling that instantly captured the hearts of the audience.

At the same time, the chandelier covered by the curtain gradually appeared in front of the audience.

As soon as the musical opened, it was a rehearsal for an opera. However, due to frequent accidents in the theater, the principal soprano of the theater refused to perform. As a last resort, someone recommended a heroine, but the new owner of the theater did not think that a ballet The girl can do it, and at the insistence of Mrs. Gilly, the heroine Christine tried to sing a part.

Perhaps because of lack of self-confidence, Christine's voice trembled a little when she sang at the beginning, and she even had a slight urge to escape, but with her full devotion, her strength won her the position of the protagonist.

The stage fell into darkness, and after quickly changing clothes for Christine, she immediately rushed off the stage. The whole scene looked busy but not chaotic. In the end, only the heroine singing alone was left in the center of the stage.

Before he knew it, Xiao Song straightened his back and leaned forward slightly. At that moment, he felt a little annoyed, annoyed that he came late and didn't win the front seat.

With the gradual progress of the plot, Xiao Song has already forgotten the tickets he spent a lot of money on, and even pressed the alarm clock when it rang.
