Chapter 713 Better Drama
Not long after leaving the square, May heard a series of subtle footsteps behind her. update the fastest
"Mrs. Lannis, please wait for me, Mrs. Lannis!"
It took her a while to realize that someone was calling her, and when she turned around, she saw a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl running towards her.
The other party wore two shofar braids, and her face was flushed red from the cold wind, but the cotton coat and leather boots were brand new, and the fabric and workmanship were also very solid. If it was placed two years ago, she would definitely think it was someone with a lot of family background. Miss. But now that more and more people can afford new clothes, it is no longer possible to judge status solely by appearance.
The girl ran to her side, took a few breaths, separated the two salted fishes in her hands, and handed one to her.
"Mrs. Lannis, this is my thank you gift, please accept it."
May couldn't help but startled, "Thank you?"
"I've wanted to see you for a long time. If my father sees your play, he will be very pleased!"
"But I don't know you, and I don't know your father... Can you go back to the beginning, what happened?"
It took half a quarter of an hour for the Star of the Western Territory to roughly understand the whole story.
The girl's name was Jasmine, and she happened to recognize her back when she came out of the convenience market. It was only a temporary move to catch up with her and give her fish, just to express her gratitude.
And Jasmine's father was a soldier of the First Army, unfortunately died in the battle with the church, leaving only her and her mother. The city hall's generous pensions and priority recruitment policies let them not have to worry about life, but the death of her father still made Jasmine sad for a while, and it was not until the new drama "A Hero's Life" was staged that she regained her composure.
In the play, all those who sacrificed heroically for defending their families and kingdoms were bestowed the title of heroes by His Majesty.
"Mother, he was just an ordinary hunter before. He never expected to receive such an honor after his death. So if I have the opportunity to meet you, she told me to thank you very much." Jasmine bowed deeply to May. Bow, "Everyone calls me the hero's daughter now, which makes me feel that my father has not left me. If it weren't for the First Army not recruiting women, I would also want to pick up a gun and fight those who have malicious intentions." The enemy fights."
"..." Mei was silent for a moment, before asking softly, "But you may die in battle, aren't you afraid?"
Jasmine nodded first, and then shook her head, "In the past, every winter, we had to move our family to Longsong Fortress. Many people would die on the road and then be thrown into the Chishui River. Every time we heard a plop, It means that one person dies. In the slums, there are even more dead people. After a heavy snowfall, frozen corpses can be seen everywhere on the street. one."
"Because I don't want to go back to that way again, someone needs to stand up and fight for a new life." She said word by word.
That's a line from a play.
In an instant, May felt a soft thing in her heart was touched.
She reached out and touched the girl's hair, "Even if you give everything?"
When the narrator in the play asked this sentence, Mei Yi vaguely remembered that the whole square was silent, and everyone held their breath, waiting for the answer from the hero player.
At this moment, Jasmine's answer is as powerful as the "hero" in the play, "Because it is worth doing."
"I accept your thank you."
"Ms. Lannis, please take care!" The girl waved her hand happily, turned and ran away to another street.
Mei Yi glanced at the heavy salted fish in her hand, but recalled in her mind the scene when she asked the drama master Kajin Firth for advice when she was performing at the Old Royal Capital Theater.
What is the best drama?
Focus the audience's attention firmly on you, think that you are the person in the play, and what they are watching is not the play, but your whole life. Doing this is the most outstanding performance.
For this reason, she practiced her acting skills hard, pondered the mood and demeanor of the characters, and devoted herself to the story of the script, making every detail impeccable. The hard work finally paid off. At the age of twenty-five, she became a well-known actor, and as a native of the Western Region, she gained a firm foothold in the capital. At the peak of her prestige, even the famous performers of Wangdu Grand Theater could not overshadow her brilliance.
But now, May's thinking has changed.
Was her performance flawless in "A Hero's Life"? Not really. His Majesty's script came out too quickly, and basically it took two or three weeks of rehearsal for the stage, and it took a week to memorize the lines, and the crew often improved while performing. For example, when she played the hero's wife, there were problems with missing words and using wrong expressions. Not to mention that this story is not the interpretation of love that she is familiar with. Many things have to be rethought, and it is not perfect at all.
However, the response to the drama is not good?
Judging from the audience's applause, "A Hero's Life" is definitely not much worse than "The Prince Seeking Love" at that time. When the protagonist came out because it was worth it, the burst of chorus almost shook the snow from the Impassable Mountains.
Perhaps this is the best performance... She thought that such a scene would never be seen in the Grand Theater of the Royal Capital. The nobles might cry for the people in the play, or applaud joyfully, but what they watched was always the Her life alone, an outsider's life. But here, what the audience sees is themselves. Through the play, people see the future they want.
...
Back at the residence, Mei accidentally saw Irene and Dawn Chenguang.
"Ah...May, you came back just in time." Irene jumped up from the seat and held her shoulders, "We just asked Lord Carter to help us take a good seat, and you will come with us when the time comes." go together."
"Where are you going?"
What happened today, the people I met didn't know what to say. She rolled her eyes, slapped Irene's hand away, and put the bird's kiss mushroom and salted fish into the kitchen.
"The artillery drill," Irene yelled after her. "I heard that this is the largest one since the establishment of the First Army. There is already a long queue in front of the city hall. Are you not interested?"
"Not interested," May shrugged. "If you have that skill, why don't you read the script a few more times."
"Just be with me... okay..."
This guy is really clingy, but she couldn't muster up the energy to scold him, because unlike other people, Irene's self-familiarity was a pure thought from the bottom of her heart, which she had already experienced when she was at the Opera House .
May was going to refuse, but for some reason, she backed off slowly when the words came to her lips. It's true that she doesn't like anything related to fighting at all, but sometimes fighting is not all bad and unbearable. If you go to see it, maybe you can experience the true feelings of soldiers a little bit, and you can be more involved in the next performance, right?
Of course, it was definitely not because of Irene's soft begging.
"I see," May sighed after hesitating for a moment, "if you insist."
"Haha, really? Great!"
Seeing Irene's elated appearance, she shook her head helplessly, no matter what, just treat it as a sacrifice to be able to perform a more perfect drama. (to be continued...)
