Chapter 759 "The Trial of Galileo"
When the title of the play was displayed on the big screen, the seven characters clearly read "The Trial of Galileo in Three Halls".
The audience was stunned for a moment, then exploded.
They were familiar with the Three Tribunals, and they also knew about Galileo, but when these two words were combined together, everyone felt that they were particularly unfamiliar.
Everyone has heard of the three-chamber joint trial. In the past, it was the joint trial of the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and Yushitai. Later, it was the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
Galileo is also a celebrity, a foreigner.
These three trials are related to Galileo, and there is a sense of absurdity in time and space.
"Let me strangle you. This is the whole job, right?"
"It must have been written wrong!"
"Director, stop making trouble and change it back quickly."
"I guess it's General Jin who will be interrogated by the three halls!"
"Who else has the initials jll? Jian Linglong?"
"I think a toast will be given!"
At this time, someone stood up and shouted: "Manager Lu, I saw you, stop hiding, come out quickly!"
Xu Nuo couldn't hold himself any longer and turned around to give him an appreciative look.
This can also be related to them.
The commotion in the audience continued, and Chen Xingchang did not explain it. The more he explained, the darker the thing became. He simply went on stage to perform. After the performance, everyone knew what was going on. We would discuss it later if we had any opinions.
"duang~"
The gong struck and the allegro sounded, and the audience fell silent.
Just watch it first and then talk about it. If it looks good, applaud it. If it doesn’t look good, just criticize it. It’s no big deal.
Amid the music, a bishop wearing a large black robe appeared.
Chen Xingchang paced around, "Rebellious ministers and traitors are really abominable! Don't believe in God, believe in science!"
Chen Xingchang's two words immediately made the audience laugh.
"Three chambers will interrogate Galileo and must eradicate the heliocentric theory!"
The audience laughed out loud.
Many actors from the Peking Opera world were in confusion in the front row. At this moment, both conservatives and radicals fell silent.
They thought Chen Xingchang would be radical, but they didn't expect it to be so radical.
Radical: Oh no, I have become a conservative!
Conservatives think that radicals are still too conservative, subtitles? Adapting "Chi Ling"? Save your money, look at Chen Xingchang, he is trying to subvert Peking Opera.
"duamg~"
Chen Xingchang flicked his sleeves and said, "I am the Cardinal of the Holy See!"
audience:? ? ?
You're not red either. Can you make it black and shiny?
"What kind of clothes are you wearing?"
"Why do these clothes look like Bao Gong's clothes to me?"
"Don't tell me that the cross above your head means something."
Chen Xingchang arched his hands and said, "I was ordered by the Pope to try the Galileo case. These priests! Call Galileo and his daughter to the court!"
"I heard a shout in the church, here comes I, the scholar Galileo."
Galileo and his daughter appeared on the stage, and several big words appeared on the big screen, "Galileo", and an arrow pointed at him.
The audience laughed out loud.
"No, why does Galileo look like both Guan Yu and Qin Qiong?"
"Okay, okay, this is how you act, right?"
Galileo wore Chinese clothes and claimed to be a scholar, which was very novel.
Many conservatives at the scene had irritating expressions on their faces, but well, they also wanted to watch and see how this drama would play out.
"With the bishop sitting there in a majestic manner, it is expected that he will not be able to escape this cruel law and punishment today."
With subtitles, the audience can also understand what Galileo sang.
When Western characters are put into traditional Chinese culture, they immediately have a different sense of freshness.
Watching a play is just for fun, and the audience applauds.
"See my lord!"
"Galileo is so brave, he came to the church, why didn't he make the sign of the cross?" the bishop was furious.
"If you have a plan in your heart, don't worry about it."
The audience laughed like crazy, they knew the words so well.
This is a replica of "the meat and wine pass through the intestines, and the Buddha's heart sits in the heart".
"-You have a sharp tongue! Galileo, don't use your words to attract apostasy and evil deeds one by one."
The audience thought that this play was just a cover-up of Cardinal and Galileo, and it was essentially the same as the Three Chinese Tribunals.
Conservatives and radicals alike think so.
Drama, isn't it just a few sets, and that's all it takes to have fun.
Galileo cupped his hands and said, "Okay, okay, my lord, just listen."
"Galileo Galilei was born in the small town of Pisa."
Then a voice shouted loudly: "Country people!"
The audience slowly raised a question mark.
They looked around, thinking that some fun person was doing the work.
No one told them that there was praise for watching a show. Isn’t this something unique to cross talk?
However, the subtitles clearly pointing to the priest on the big screen made them give up looking around.
If a barrage could appear on their heads, they would all be question marks at this moment.
On the stage, Galileo continued to sing: "Since childhood, my favorite is physics and astronomy."
But now all the audience's attention was on the priest, and no one paid attention to Galileo.
"I have been reactionary since I was a child!"
The audience laughed like crazy. They just watched the show and fell in love with the cross talk.
The conservatives in the front row have such dark faces that they are almost in trouble.
Since ancient times, opera singers have looked down upon those who talk about cross talk. Although they are both bad actors, opera singers belong to worriers and are watched by rich people, while cross talk talkers belong to beggars.
This chain of contempt makes many opera singers always say that they have a sense of superiority in front of cross talk. We are poor, but we are better than you.
They tolerated Chen Xingchang's adaptation of drama songs, and they tolerated bringing foreigners to the stage, but when he mixed in crosstalk, someone finally couldn't tolerate it.
Several conservatives were furious and pointed at Xu Nuo's nose, "This is naked blasphemy!"
"You are the sinner of Peking Opera!"
Xu Nuo was indifferent, not to mention how Peking Opera has become, let alone whether it has been passed down.
Another group of conservatives left the scene and walked away, and the radicals couldn't persuade them.
After all, Peking Opera is a circle, and everyone makes a living in the circle. If Chen Xingchang gets better, everyone can get better too.
Chen Xingchang is finished, and it won't be long before Peking Opera will also die. You can't always rely on state funding.
The radicals persuaded some conservatives, they wanted to see the real reaction of the audience.
Galileo said: "I have also seen the big clock calculate the swing."
"That's all your guess!"
The scene burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very happy.
"I also watched the bright moon."
"How was it?"
"It's all a big trap!"
"Nonsense!"
The conservatives themselves couldn't help laughing out loud, and a few old men turned their heads secretly and glanced at the reactions of the audience behind them.
To their disappointment, the audience was laughing and applauding, and some took out their mobile phones to record the performance enthusiastically.
This scene made the conservatives a little dazed.
Once upon a time, their performances were also like this, and the audience could immerse themselves in the play, cry with the characters, laugh with the characters, and many people took pictures.
But now, such scenes are rare, the attendance rate is low, and many audiences leave in the middle of the show. Peking Opera is gradually going downhill.
For many years, they haven't seen such a grand occasion.
Some people couldn't help looking at the young man sitting in the middle of the first row.
This person seems to always be subverting, subverting music, subverting film and television, and now subverting Peking Opera.
Galileo sang in a rhythmic voice: "I can survive by writing books and teaching. I traveled to Naples, Genoa, Rome and Turin. I am well-known for my studies."
"I am also a vagrant!"
Applause broke out, and many audiences who came to Peking Opera for the first time called it wonderful.
"Is Peking Opera so interesting?"
"I laughed to death. This priest can go to perform crosstalk."
"No wonder my grandfather loves to watch opera."
Seeing that Galileo was unmoved and his words were flawless, the priest suggested that the bishop start to interrogate his daughter.
Li Qingyi played Galileo's daughter Maria.
Everyone was happy. The priest was quite clever.
The high-energy part came. Xu Nuo glanced at the conservatives, worried that they would fall to the ground with black eyes.
"Baby, I have a few questions for you. You have to tell the truth!"
"We don't know anything about buoyancy, gravity, and centrifugal force."
This is called "Don't Know Anything".
"Let me ask you, has your father ever made a telescope?"
Maria smiled and said, "Telescope, yes."
Both priests laughed, children love to make flattering comments.
"It's really fun to pick up a telescope, with a large piece and a small piece placed on both sides. From a distance, the church bells are not big, and they are right in front of you when you use it."
The cardinal asked, "What did your father use it for?"
Xu Nuo couldn't help laughing, Zhao Lei was puzzled, what's so funny about this.
Maria sang on the stage: "My mother died early, leaving my father and daughter to spend the rest of her life. The uncle next door also died early, and his widowed aunt is as beautiful as a fairy. My father misses her all day long, but there is no matchmaker and few opportunities. So I made a telescope and lay on the window to satisfy my craving."
"How did you find a hooligan during the interrogation?"
Galileo: ? ? ?
He was so angry that he threw his hands, obviously he didn't want to talk anymore.
The audience laughed with their mouths wide open, "Oh my god, this is such a bold story."
"666, Galileo's reputation is ruined."
"What a filial daughter."
"Galileo: My Lord, I confess everything!"
The cardinal came up with another plan when one plan failed.
"Why did he invent the thermometer?"
Maria: "My old man loves wine the most, and no feast is complete without wine at home. He said that hot wine tastes sour and cold wine tastes bland, so he invented the thermometer."
"Hey, he even drank!"
"He's still a drunkard!"
The applause was so enthusiastic that the audience felt enlightened that this thing could actually be sung like this.
"What do you want to say about the ball throwing at the Leaning Tower of Pisa?"
"That day, the weather was so sunny, and father and daughter went to the Leaning Tower to relax. My daughter has not yet talked about marriage, but the Leaning Tower is looking for a talented man. A pair of hydrangeas were thrown and weighed, and they fell down the hall together. The young man was killed by the ball, and I have been living alone ever since."
After the performance of "The Trial of Galileo in Three Courts", the conservatives were furious, and the radicals directly integrated into the conservatives.
But the atmosphere was so warm, and the applause did not subside for a long time.
Cheers, cheers, and applause came one after another.
The conservatives were defeated, the radicals were in a mess, and the Chen family won a great victory.
But the real test has just begun.
