Chapter 2924 Luigi's Performance
The climax of "Ode to the Sea" includes a bonfire party on the turtle's back, a passionate battle with dolphins and deep-sea king squids, the joy of meeting various sea spirits, and the sadness of saying goodbye to fish.
It can be said that the climax is the most classic part of the entire "Ode to the Sea".
Angel has not heard how the Light Feather Wizard performed it, but Luigi's performance can still move him, and even faintly evoke the surge of the spiritual sea.
This surprised Angel. The reason why the three hymns are so popular is because of their peculiar effects that are not like potions but better than potions. It can soothe people's spirits and calm their souls.
Unfortunately, at present, in addition to the Light Feather Wizard, only some wizards in the Xiju Academy can perform "Ode to the Sea" to such a magical state.
But now, Angel listened to Luigi's performance and felt the movement of the spiritual sea. Does this mean that Luigi has also mastered the essence of this hymn?
You know, this is the Dream Crystal Plain, and Luigi's current physique is no different from that of an ordinary person, and even without the harp accompaniment, he can make his spiritual sea surge. If it is changed to reality, the effect will definitely be more amazing.
Before, Luigi's original works sounded just ordinary to Angel, so Angel didn't pay much attention to Luigi.
But now, he has a new look at Luigi.
His original works may not be very good, but these are just minor flaws and do not affect his achievements in the art hall.
Think about it, it is right, the three time bodies arranged by Laplace cannot be chosen casually, and there must be something unique about them. Gleipnir, as an astrologer, has the ability to complement Laplace's heart reflection; the bunny girl carries Laplace's memories, and the bunny girl's combat power is also extremely powerful. If you use the identity to call the time body like the astrologer, then the bunny girl can be called the god of war, the loli god of war!
And Luigi's identity is easy to judge, he is a bard. But apart from this identity, it seems that the only characteristic he has is his strong intuition.
Putting aside the mysterious thing like intuition, is Luigi really useless?
Angell doesn't believe it.
As the only male time body of Laplace, his body may be mixed with some external memories, but he must also carry some characteristics of Laplace, otherwise he can't become one of the three time bodies. As for what he carries, Angell doesn't know at present.
But now that he has heard his performance, Angell is convinced that Luigi is definitely not simple. Maybe he carries Laplace's artistic cells?
At least, the performance now is enough to shock Angell.
Angell now especially wants to hear what kind of scene Luigi's performance will bring in reality... Of course, it must be a serious performance, not his impromptu doggerel.
The climax performance of "Helinghuazan" has gradually entered its end.
Soon, it will enter the final chapter of "Helinghuazan".
According to Luigi, the final chapter of "Helinghuazan" he got was a fragment, and the subsequent parts were supplemented by himself. Angell was also a little curious at this time. Luigi had already pushed the interpretation of "Ode to the Sea" to a peak. At this point in time, there was no formal ending. How would he interpret the sequel?
Will it end plainly, or add a tail to a dog, or make a big splash?
Angell personally thinks that a plain ending is better.
"Ode to the Sea" itself does not need a "big splash" plot. It is more like a long-lasting beauty. It is an adventure and a journey. It is an adventure with sea creatures and a small journey in the sea of life.
It starts with a beautiful but expected melody, and ends with a beautiful but slightly lost melody.
This is what Angell expected, and at the same time, it is what the original version of "Ode to the Sea" wants to express.
The original version has always mentioned that this journey with sea creatures will eventually end, and the place where it ends is called the Silent Strait.
This is the singer's final destination.
A singer who pursues perfect singing voice should not only know how to make his voice bloom with colorful brilliance, but also know how to listen and find the true melody deep in his heart in silence.
The Silent Strait is such a place, where you can hear the true natural sound, but you can't convey any melody. It seems to be a forbidden place for all singers. But for the protagonist of "Hai Ling Hua Zan", his true sublimation is in this last Silent Strait.
He bid farewell to all his companions and drifted alone in the Silent Strait, listening to the true sound while looking for the melody deep in his heart.
The final result did not say whether he found it or not, but ended with the singer returning to the shore. It is an open ending. Pessimistic people will think that it is a pity that the singer did not find it, and optimistic people will think that it is a perfection that the singer found it.
Everyone has his own interpretation, and this is probably what the Light Feather Wizard wants to see.
Of course, in Angel's view, this is a deliberately set suspense. The ending with suspense is a bit cliché, but it is not tacky.
Luigi doesn't know the content of the final chapter now. The only thing he knows is that the singer's destination is the Silent Strait.
Luigi has no idea why the singer goes to the Silent Strait and what kind of inner cognition the Silent Strait will bring to the singer. When he lets the singer come to the Silent Strait, how will he continue?
The fierce drumbeats and singing finally reached the end.
Luigi sang the parting between the singer and the sea spirit, sad but with expectations for the future.
Hearing this, Angel nodded slightly in his heart. Luigi was right about this. Because the Silent Strait is indeed not a place of despair, there is still hope there.
Since Luigi pointed out the "expectation for the future", the sequel should not be too bad.
With this thought in mind, Angel continued to listen.
Time passed slowly.
In the last epilogue, Luigi finished slower than expected, but after listening to the whole epilogue, Angel was completely stunned.
The epilogue written by Luigi and the epilogue expressed by the Light Feather Wizard are completely two different paths, or even two completely opposite concepts.
But after listening to it, Angel didn't know how to evaluate it.
To evaluate the final ending, it must be compared with the ending of "Ode to the Sea Spirit" written by the Light Feather Wizard.
But Angel is completely confused now, he doesn't know how to compare.
If the original ending of "Ode to the Sea Spirit" is 10 out of 10, then the one written by Luigi can be said to be zero, or 10, or even beyond 10.
Why is there such a big fluctuation? Because this ending is really unimaginable!
In Angel's view, this is definitely not a dog's tail, but a new perspective that jumps out of the framework.
The singer bid farewell to the sea spirit, boarded a dilapidated raft, and drifted into the silent strait without waves.
As night fell, he looked up at the starry sky.
Looking at the sea reflected by the starlight, looking at the distant light under the heavy night, at this time, Luigi spoke again.
In a normal ending, there is no need for too many lyrics here, and the singer's heart can be interpreted with melody and accompaniment.
But Luigi didn't know what the real ending was, so he chose to speak.
There is no way to sing here, and there is no way to express any melody, so his opening is not singing, nor is it a melody, but a monologue.
A monologue of the soul without lyrics.
The language of the monologue is not a language that humans understand, and even Angel has never heard of a similar language.
This language seems to have the ability to transcend time, a sound that can hit the heart and seem to reach the depths of the universe... When listening to this language, you can even feel a solemn religious feeling in the language.
This wonderful feeling seems to pull Angel back to his childhood. Under the night sky, he sat next to Jon, watching Jon humming to the starry sky in an unknown language.
The same unknown language, the same solemnity and religious feeling, and the same gratitude to the depths of the universe.
However, Jon is longing for the "God" in the depths of the universe with this monologue, hoping that the great god with an unknown name can let him return to Earth and see his wife and daughter.
At that time, the language Jon used was Tuscan, and the monologue he said was "Divine Comedy".
Today, Luigi's language is different, but the feeling of talking to the "God" is similar.
However, Jon humbly asks for mercy from the gods; while Luigi is neither humble nor arrogant, and talks to the unknown gods that have existed since ancient times in the depths of the universe.
The tone of the monologue is sometimes calm and sometimes agitated, making people feel that he seems to be asking the gods some questions.
These questions may be about philosophy, where do I come from and where will I go?
Or about truth, where is the truth, can the truth exist?
Or other profound and mysterious questions.
In the end, there is no answer to whether the gods answered the singer.
Under the starry sky, these inquiries with the unknown gods, or questions about the true knowledge of the self, have become the last scene of "Hymn of the Sea".
The monologue at the end is distant and long, as if it is regretful, and as if it is enlightened.
It is also an open ending.
But the original version and Luigi's version are completely different.
If you ask which version is more in line with the overall tonality of "Hymn of the Sea", Ingres would think it is the original version.
But if you ask Ingres which version he likes, he must admit that even if he doesn't understand that long paragraph of monologue, he still prefers Luigi's version. Because this version pushes "Heling of the Sea" to another height!
But even if Ingres likes it, it doesn't mean that this ending is good.
Why did Ingres say that 0 points are OK, 10 points are OK, and more than 10 points are OK.
Because 0 points is because many people cannot understand the deep meaning here, so they think that the tone is completely different from the previous journey. In other words, they understand the deep meaning, but think it is a kind of usurpation, and usurpation is an unforgivable behavior in the eyes of believers.
10 points is the height that this adaptation should have, and it is also because it is recognized.
As for more than 10 points, not only do they recognize this ending, but they even see the height of Luigi when he wrote this ending.
Yes, it is the height.
Or in other words, the pattern.
This is the pattern that the Light Feather Wizard cannot depict, and it is sublimated to the extremely high pattern of dialogue with the gods of the universe.
It is good for the singer to pursue the same thing from beginning to end, but it is even better if the singer can reach a higher level!
Therefore, Angle cannot give him a score, nor can he compare which version has a better ending.
But there is no doubt that this is an extremely classic performance.
As Luigi finished his monologue, the Phantom Porpoise also arrived at the shore. At this time, the countdown on the clown's neck was still ten minutes.
The track was originally limited to five minutes, but when Luigi completed the challenge, the countdown was still ten minutes. This is a bit absurd, but it seems to be expected?
There is no doubt that Luigi successfully passed the third round.
Now it depends on his score.
And there is actually an indicator to observe the score, that is, the audience's reaction.
When Luigi finished the performance, the audience was silent for a long time, and it seemed that they were still immersed in the scene of Luigi's dialogue with the gods, and even the host did not react.
After a long time, the host came back to his senses first.
He coughed twice and said in a somewhat dry voice: "It's really... a shocking performance. I even suspect that I may not be able to enjoy a more touching performance than this in my life."
It was a bit dry at the beginning, but it became smoother and smoother later, and at the end, the audience also came back to their senses.
The audience burst into an unprecedented warm cheer and uniform applause.
When Angel heard the warm applause, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that these audiences have some appreciation level... or the dream maker of this special dream has an appreciation level, not the kind of fundamentalist. If it is the latter, it is likely that Luigi is accused of usurping the throne.
However, having said that, the dream maker of this special dream is actually very obvious. It should be the host.
If it is a special dream similar to Helen's dream, killing the dream maker will definitely end the special dream. Unfortunately, this special dream is not a killing type, and it is impossible to leave by killing the dream maker.
When Angel was sighing in his heart, Luigi had been pulled into the air by the spotlight.
The neon lights opposite him almost exploded instantly.
Moreover, two rows of lights lit up together!
There is no doubt that Luigi got the highest score in the fire ring track, 20 points!
Not only that, when Luigi sat back in his seat, three bouquets of flowers and a white envelope fell from the sky.
"The Red-Tailed Frog Challenger received three bouquets of flowers from the audience for his wonderful performance! I have already mentioned the flowers, so I will not repeat them." The host paused when he said this: "In addition to the flowers, there is also an envelope given by me. Although this envelope cannot be exchanged for points, it represents my sincerity. I hope that the Red-Tailed Frog Challenger can feel my respect for your performance."
Everyone ignored the host's other compliments. At this time, everyone's eyes were on Luigi.
Gleipnir nodded gently: "Good performance."
The rabbit girl also nodded fiercely, full of affirmation for Luigi's performance.
Luigi himself was also very proud, holding his head high, fearing that others would not see his pride.
Angel also took the opportunity to praise a few words.
After speaking, Angel subconsciously looked at Laplace, because everyone else gave affirmation to Luigi, only Laplace did not express his opinion.
Seeing this, Angel was stunned for a moment.
Laplace was indeed looking at Luigi, but her expression was a little subtle, her brows were slightly frowned, and she seemed to be dissatisfied with Luigi's performance.
Luigi's performance was impeccable, and he also achieved the "full score" required by Laplace, and even received three bouquets of flowers, which was equivalent to 23 points. This score was already quite high, why was Laplace dissatisfied?
Was it because of the ending performed by Luigi?
In fact, Angel had some doubts in his heart after watching Luigi's performance.
Where did Luigi's last part come from? Maybe it was original, but it was definitely not completely original.
Because that "dialogue between gods" was extremely high.
It's like playing chess, thinking that you are evenly matched, but in fact the opponent is basically guiding the chess. It seems that there is a come and go, but in fact the opponent is looking down, looking at the overall situation, and cooperating with your performance.
Such a pattern, Angel finds it hard to believe that Luigi has mastered it.
If it wasn't Luigi, then there is only one possible source of this grand pattern, from... Laplace?
So, Luigi's final sequel was written based on Laplace's vision?
So, Luigi inherited Laplace's vision?
