Chapter 82: Adapted stage play

Claysia stepped off the stage, the lights went out again, and the theater was pitch black, but the ladies adapted this time without confusion.
Suddenly, a soft and melodious melody echoed in the theater, and the elegant female voice gently hummed this very beautiful and epic melody.
"So beautiful!"
"Is this the newest way to perform in Sigil City? Is it an opera or a musical?"
"Shhh! Don't talk."
"Good..."
...
Accompanied by the melody, a beam of light was shot out of the large wooden box that was carried in before. The huge white curtain on the stage showed the scenery of the port of Ascatel. Although the picture was a bit rough and fuzzy, these common features of Ascatel Resident residents quickly recognized it.
They couldn't help exclaiming.
"It's amazing. I saw the view of the harbor in the theater. Is this the latest dwarf technology creation?"
"Oh my God, look carefully, the picture is moving, not just a static projection."
"Isn't this the scene of the fleet leaving the port? It was the same when I sent my husband to sail back then... It's a sight I miss."
...
In the picture on the screen, the merchant ship slowly leaves the port, the sailors and merchant ship owners are standing on the ship's gunwale and waving at the farewell crowd. Many female families in the port watch their lovers and husbands embark on a journey full of danger and opportunity.
Afterwards, the picture turned again and turned into the sea in the dark, the waves were gentle, and a line of words emerged: the creation of the play was inspired by the legend of the living sculpture Io, combined with the frequent shipwrecks of Amn, and was adapted and starred by Bradrow. .
As soon as the plot opens, it is the scene of a shipwreck salvage. The salvagers picked up a statue. It is "Io, the one who looks at love in the distance, the immortal man for thousands of years".
The audience in the audience could see that apart from Io who is very real and should be played by actors, the other characters are illusions of blurry light and shadow. They can probably see the outline and distinguish their identities, but they are not real actors.
Cara hides in a big box disguised as a projector. While projecting the background image on the white curtain behind the stage, he uses illusion to create a 3D stereoscopic role projection on the stage, allowing these 3D stereoscopic characters to interact with the only real actors.
As a talented illusionist, Cara has the experience of creating a lifelike illusion world. It is not difficult to project phantom characters and virtual scenes on the stage.
An old white-haired noble woman found the leader of the salvage team and told the leader that the sculpture they had salvaged was actually her former lover. The members of the salvage team didn't believe it at all, thinking the old woman was crazy.
However, after a polymath in the salvage group looked through the classics, he found clues in the historical records, so he found the old woman and talked to her about the statue.
The first act of the stage play ends, the theater goes dark, after a while, the next act begins.
The illusion setting on the stage has been completely changed, from the salvage ship to the Pride of the Sea Tavern in the port of Ascatla.
Io, played by Luo Feng, appeared on the scene. He is a young and talented painter. In order to make some achievements, he won a lower-class ticket to Deepwater City by a gamble in a tavern.
He boarded a large goblin technology cruise ship, intending to set off from the port of Ascatla to the deepwater city with a more open and free social atmosphere.
On this ship, he met Rose, a noble girl, who was a beautiful girl with a melancholy temperament and a gloomy mood.
At first, Rose didn't care about Io's looking at her from the lower deck, and even felt offended by civilians.
The girl Rose, her mother and fiance Carl are first-class passengers. Rose is tired of the hypocritical life of the upper class and does not want to marry Carl. She wants to throw herself into the sea, but is rescued by Io.
Io stood beside Rose, facing the huge waves, and said to her: "If you jump, I will jump too!"
Rose realized that he was serious, so she gave up the idea of ​​jumping into the sea and committing suicide.
The love seeds of the aristocratic girl who is lively in nature but suppressed by the unfortunate marriage contract and the versatile, handsome and cheerful poor boy Io, just germinate.
Io took Rose to spit into the sea on the boat, participated in the civilian ball in the inferior warehouse, and painted her again...
The most classic scene is: He took her to the bow of the cruise ship, hugged her, and asked her to open her arms to the sea, Rose chanted "I'm flying!"
At that moment, a pair of Biren kissed.
It was a beautiful scene of extreme freedom and romance.
The aristocratic women in the audience felt the same way. They were so bound by their status and family that they yearned for this kind of freedom and romance, instead of being trapped in the vulgar and boring society, "all looks at money" and "money is everything". Scatella, married a man they didn't love, and lived a vulgar and boring life.
...
The audience in the audience was completely attracted by the plot, they kept their voices silent, and refused to give out half a sentence of discussion.
This is where you are watching a stage play, it is like entering a beautiful dream of love! It is the sweetest dream of every Askatra noble woman when she sleeps at midnight.
In the past, the stage plays enjoyed by the nobles of Faerun used one or two cardboard sets to build the setting, and the background of this time was completely flowing and gorgeous. Although a little blurred and blurred, it was shocking enough.
What's more, almost every scene of this stage play has a beautiful soundtrack that fits the plot, which makes people deeply immersed, and the mood fluctuates with the plot.
The soundtrack of a movie is very important, just like a horror movie with cheerful background music, no matter how timid people watch it, they won’t be afraid.
As for the classic soundtrack movies, even if the plot is flawed, the audience will still remember it and remember the plot scene of the soundtrack.
Luo Feng’s stage play soundtrack basically copied the original soundtrack, and every note fits the plot exactly. The lines of the other plot characters in it are also copied by Io from the original film lines and translated into Falun lingua franca. It seems to be English).
Although the heroine is an illusion of light and shadow with a blurred face, the audience does not mind that they are a group of noble women who have come from the aristocratic teenage years. The heroine with a blurred face is suitable for them to substitute for themselves, imagining that face as themselves Face, dreaming that he had experienced such a dreamlike love.
Women watching movies often focus on different things from male audiences. One of the most important points is that the male protagonist must be handsome, he must be handsome, and he must be particularly handsome.
There is only one actor in the play, and that is Io, played by Luo Feng. This handsome performer from Mark City has conquered all female audiences with his superb acting skills that he trained through traveling through the heavens and the world.
Even if the heroine he was playing against was a phantom, the tenderness in the eyes of the phantom girl he looked at was like a sea holding up a huge wheel, which could flood the earth.
Even Luo Feng's team members who were watching and studying were shocked. The captain's acting skills were really good. The Io he played was almost as good as the Jack of the original movie.
Zhang Daniu couldn't help but whispered: "If the captain is not an investigator, he might be able to mix well if he returns to the real world to be a small meat actor.
Tang Xiaotian blushed, staring scorchingly at Luo Feng, who was performing on stage, but his mouth was quite disdainful: "The captain is usually a great performer, and he has practiced his acting to this level. I don’t know that he used to be in Infinite World. How many plot characters were fooled during the mission."
Zhang Daniu said disapprovingly: "Life is like a play, it all depends on acting. Have you not seen the captain's information? This is his style of accomplishing the task. Among the senior investigators, there are strong, good at hardworking, and some acting. For example, our captain is good at disguising and layout."
The plot continues to develop. Just when the two people in love are entangled because of the huge difference in identities, the audience also entangled with the entanglement of the characters in the plot. In the end, Rose chose to escape the marriage and be with Io, or return to the original Go to the prison-like noble family.
Rose finally made the choice to leave everything behind and rush towards love and freedom with Io. The audience also exhales, thinking that the story will have a happy ending.
however!
At this time, the big turning point was opened. Due to the unreliable ancient goblin technology and the fatal mistakes made by the captain, the cruise ship hit an iceberg and was about to sink. The two protagonists' newly budding love faced the test of life and death!
When the disaster strikes, humanity collides scene after scene, and the thrilling scenes force the audience to breathe hard.
The old couple who hugged together before sinking and happily went to death, soothe the children not to be afraid, the mother who is holding the child quietly waiting for death, silently plays music until the bard sinks to the bottom of the sea, dressed as a woman mixed in a lifeboat shamelessly Rich businessman...
Io put Rose on the lifeboat, stayed on the boat, and watched her leave affectionately, but Rose secretly ran back and said to Io, "Remember, you jumped and I jumped too."
The audience sighed and moved, and deeply worried about the devoted lovers, and wondered how they should escape.
The two support each other, share weal and woe, and fight to the death with the natural and man-made calamities that cannot be countered by manpower...
At the last moment, Io and Rose made their final confession in the ice sea: "You have to do me a favor. Promise me to live..."
Rose: "Io, I love you."
Io: "Listen to me, Rose. You will be able to escape. You have to live, have many children, and watch them grow up. You will enjoy your old age and rest in a warm bed. Instead of being here tonight, Don’t die like this. Do you understand?"
Rose: "I'm so cold, I have lost consciousness."
Io: "Winning a ferry ticket is the luckiest thing in my life. Let me know you. Thanks to the gods...I...I can know you,...I am lucky, Rose...I am satisfied."
He paused with difficulty, and then went on with enthusiasm, "... I still have... one more wish... You must promise to live... No... Never give up,... No matter what happens, No matter how small the hope is, promise me quickly, Rose,... promise me, I will do it..."
"I promise..." Rose burst into tears.
"It must be done..." Io's voice gradually weakened.
Rose cried and responded, "I will do it, Io...I will do it..."
Just before Io lost his breath of life, a rescue boat paddled and approached the board where Rose was resting...
The stage phantom set was switched back to the salvage ship again, and the gray-haired old woman stroked the lifelike face of the living sculpture Io, muttering: "Io, I have always kept my promise and lived a happy and fulfilling life, you too Keep looking at me in the distance, right?"
The old woman smiled contentedly and hugged Io's sculpture, and jumped out of the black sea with him!
Time and space have changed and Rose, who has become a young girl again, finds herself standing under the spiral staircase in the cruise ship's grand banquet hall. Io is standing on the staircase, smiling at her.
With the corner of her skirt, Rose ran up the stairs briskly, plunged into Io’s arms, and kissed him affectionately...
The golden light blurred the stage, the melodious soundtrack sounded again, and this love dream stage drama that spanned time and space finally ended.
...
The stage play ended, but the needles were still audible in the theater. Hundreds of wealthy and aristocratic ladies sat quietly, staring blankly at the curtain with noisy blank screens.
