Chapter 77: Avril Lavigne's Personality Returns in the New Play
"Ladies, which show do you want to watch?" asked the conductor of Hualing Theater.
"Uh..." Serena turned back to Hanabi, Liuxi and Qiluo, "Is there anything in particular you want to see?"
Hanabi said: "Why don't you just watch the show "As You Like It, My Lord". The starring roles are Miss Luo Mei from Zhenling Theater and Mr. Logan from Hualing Theater. They shouldn't be much different."
The conductor said: "Ladies, just watch this. This play premiered at our Hualing Theater the day before yesterday, and even people in the capital haven't seen it yet. Just watch it, it will definitely become as good as "Four Seasons".
The hit of "Nineteen Nights"."
After buying four tickets, the four of them walked into the theater. As soon as they entered, they found that the entire theater was almost full, and the popularity was no less than when "Forty-Nine Nights" was first released a few months ago. Judging from the content of their conversation
Look, many people come here for the second or even third visit.
Serena thought to herself: What kind of show is this? Judging from the name, isn't it just a cheesy American drama about knights hunting for treasures? How come it has such a high attendance rate?
When the glass lights in the theater went out, the curtain slowly opened. Evelyn, the secretary played by Lome, said to the great lord Mevante, played by Rogen: "Lord, there are three most pressing matters now: Lome
Waters and rivers overflowed, affecting 21 counties, with nearly a million people affected, and people starved to death every day; the lords of each county were unwilling to provide relief, and allowed their people to starve to death, fearing the outbreak of epidemics and civil unrest; bandits were rampant, and they robbed the people and merchants who passed by without restraint.
…”
The four girls realized almost at the same time that this drama was actually about Mei Yi.
Oh my God, I originally thought that becoming a great lord would be a good job, but I ended up facing such a difficult situation! How did he survive it? By the way, is this a tragedy or a comedy? Lome is famous for acting in tragedies...
The four girls didn't dare to think about it anymore and just continued to watch the show in fear.
When they saw that Mevante sent twenty-one warriors to deliver a letter to the twenty-one county lords, asking them to carry out disaster relief immediately, otherwise the lord position would be abolished immediately, Hanabi's brows almost knitted together, and she whispered softly: "Fool
, you offended everyone as soon as you left, what should you do next?"
When they saw Mevante's heartbreaking inner monologue after learning about the death of the two messenger soldiers, many viewers present were heartbroken - "My soldiers, my brothers, you left your hometown with me,
Why did you abandon me so quickly, without having time to taste the glory I gave you?"
When the audience heard the actor playing Mei Yi gritting his teeth and saying, "Flynn, do everything you can to get our five soldiers detained by the bandits to return home. Don't worry about making money, don't care about the glory on your face. Life is
The greatest value, keep it in mind, and don’t let your footsteps hesitate! As long as it can save the lives of my elf and goblin brothers, a million gold coins doesn’t matter?”, I felt that my soul was trembling.
The second act after the first act "Crazy Luoshui River" is "The Bet of Life". When the lord of the twenty-one counties continued to stimulate Meifant and asked him to gamble with him, the audience present felt in their hearts
Scream: Young lord, don’t be provoked. Gambling is a behavior despised by the goddess, and she will not bless you!
In the center of the stage, eighteen tall lords surrounded the sixteen-year-old Mevante. Surrounding them were only a few guards from the lord's mansion. Behind the curtain of the stage, countless daggers and spears stretched out, and the audience finally understood.
Okay, what is "The Gamble of Life"!
When Mevante won twenty games and won all eighteen counties, the theater suddenly burst into enthusiastic cheers. But soon, when the frustrated lord shouted, "My guards, rush in.
Kill everyone in the lord's mansion, and each of you will be given a thousand gold coins, which will be enough for you to fill the house with your wives and concubines, and enough for you to return home in fine clothes!" When this happened, the audience fell into shock again.
Just when the spears and swords were about to rush into the theater, dozens of elves and goblin warriors suddenly appeared on the wall. They shot bows and arrows and defeated the lord's guards. They sang with a powerful voice: "We defeated you, but why did I
My heart is so sad. We are no longer brothers, ever since you turned your swords on our great lord!"
Mevante said to the trembling chief: "If the elves are not on my side, I don't care. If the elves are not on my side, I don't care. If the nobles are not on my side, I don't care. Even if the people are on my side,
I don’t care about this side. Because I know that the goddess will always be on my side, I will never be lonely and helpless, and I will never lose!”
After the curtain fell, the audience, which had been suppressed for a long time, finally cheered wildly and fell into complete madness. The voices of "Long live the lord" and "Long live the goddess" kept coming and going.
The third act is "The Flooded Land".
Hualing Theater and the actors have spent a lot of money on this show. For the stage effect, they specially invited the top sound effects team of this era and used the top painters to draw more than ten huge backgrounds to give people an immersive experience.
The feeling of environment.
There are no lyrics in this one-act play, which is all plain dialogue. It mainly talks about the Lord Meifant's visit to various counties to inspect the disaster relief situation. He saw that with the full efforts and extensive mobilization of the Lord's Mansion, food and improved seeds have reached the hands of the victims.
, countless victims were saved from starvation, and the audience present felt a little at ease.
Suddenly, the background cloth was changed, and there was thunder, rain, and wind on the stage. Someone cried: "My daughter fell into the water and was washed away by the flood. Come and save my child..."
When Meifant, who was inspecting, heard this, he shouted: "Which of you can swim, please rescue the child quickly!" No one answered yet, Meifant patted his head and suddenly realized, "I'm going to die if I don't sleep for a few days.
Silly! I can do it myself!"
After saying that, Mevante jumped into the rapid Bailuoshui River amidst the sky full of black clouds, lightning and heavy rain, and disappeared from the stage.
The fourth act is "Back to the Origin", which tells some daily stories of Lord Mevant when he first arrived in Crystal City. Mevant stood at the door of the study, watching the moonlight-beautiful girl Krel leave, played by Lome.
Evelin said: "Lord, if you like her, just keep her. Why do you torture yourself so much? Why don't you make your life more comfortable?"
Mevant scratched her head and said: "If the lord lives too comfortably, the subjects will feel uncomfortable. Since the feudal Crystal City, I have been determined to build a Crystal City where everyone is free and equal. In the Crystal City, everyone
Those who can cultivate the land will have their own land, and those who can live in the countryside will have their own houses, so that they can live a life free from scarcity. I do not intend to consider personal issues until this goal is progressed."
He returned to his seat, raised his head and said to Evelin who was standing next to him: "Evelin, after the flood has passed, we will build schools, build roads, and set up factories. In any civilized society, education is the first priority.
First and foremost, children are the future of our Crystal City. I am willing to give everything for them..."
At this moment, the background painting with dark clouds, lightning, heavy rain and Luoshui River fell again. Meifant picked up the little girl from the river amidst the roaring thunder and the majestic heavy rain. Meiyi was almost exhausted.
The rope thrown down by the soldiers was dragged back to the shore.
Cheers erupted in the theater.
The excited mother picked up her daughter, only to find that she was no longer breathing. The heart-wrenching cries once again cooled down the theater.
Could it be that this story ends in tragedy?
Just when the people in the theater fell into deep despair, Mevant tested the little girl's breathing and said to the people around her: "It's too late to send her to the hospital. If we don't catch her in the golden ten minutes, she will have to die even if she doesn't die."
Can, "Would any of you hurry up and help her with artificial respiration and chest compressions? Maybe she can be saved?"
Serena suddenly felt that the scene in front of her seemed familiar.
Evelin and others said: "We have never heard of artificial respiration and chest compressions. Do you know how to do it? If you do, start it quickly."
"I know how to do it, but...this is a little girl after all..."
"What time has it been? Don't give up! What a little boy or girl, you are the great lord, that is, the parent of the people of Crystal City and the surrounding 21 counties!" Evelin got angry.
Serena stood up uncontrollably, and her vague memories began to become clearer and clearer.
On the stage, Mevant could no longer care about anything else. His heart suddenly crossed and he said softly, "Little girl, don't give up. Please try your best to come back to us. You still have a future." Then he untied the knot around the little girl's neck.
Button, held up her chin, took a deep breath, leaned over and kissed her lips...
Serena finally remembered the words that often vaguely appeared in her mind, "Avril, don't give up, try to come back to us."
He is not looking down on me, he is saving me.
I'm not Serena, I'm Avril Lavigne.
When Meiyi kissed me on the first day of school, I was still conscious. I didn’t know that he was trying to save me. I felt so embarrassed and thought that I would never have the face to see my teachers or classmates again. I was suddenly frightened.
Self-enclosed. "Avril's" self-awareness became weaker and weaker until it disappeared and completely turned into "Selena".
Just like before, when I encounter something I can't solve, I always blame it on Nana.
As soon as she accepted the fact that she was Avril, her memories of being Serena flooded in and completely merged with her memories of being Avril, just like before her death, Serena handed over all the plant specimens she had collected for a long time.
Give her the same.
She could clearly feel that Serena, who had always been by her side to protect her, left her.
Just when Avril and "Selena" merged, the little girl opened her eyes and coughed violently. The whole stage fell into joy. Meiyi jumped to her feet and said: "You guys should also learn first aid from me.
Don't ask me to do this kind of thing all the time, or I will be misunderstood by others!"
In the auditorium, all the audience burst into laughter, stood up and applauded wildly. The tears of emotion and shock had not yet been wiped away. Only Serena never smiled, and her face was full of tears. (To be continued.
