Chapter 51 If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected will happen

This theater is also very huge, and a performance of a play has four levels of ticket seats.

Of course the best view is on the first floor.

From the 2nd to the 4th floor, the visual experience becomes worse as you go higher, and you can only see the tops of the actors' heads.

However, even tickets with a poor view are hard to come by.

After they sat down, Feng Ming was still a little surprised.

"Huh? I didn't expect it to be in this theater."

Shi Yi was a little confused.

"What's wrong with this theater?"

Feng Ming shook his head and smiled.

"There's nothing special about this theater. There were some seemingly strange rumors about it before, and it was considered a relatively declining theater. I even heard that it was about to go bankrupt, but I didn't expect that not long after, it had actually contracted the performance time of the play "Dream of the Red Chamber"."

Now is the peak time for admission, and the entire theater is crowded with people, and every seat is packed.

It looks like this won't go bankrupt again, right?

At 8 o'clock in the evening, after everyone was seated, the lights in the entire venue suddenly went dark and the big screen was about to start.

Shi Yi was in high spirits, his eyes wide open.

I have to say that their position is really excellent. They are not too close to the stage, which would prevent them from seeing the whole picture clearly.

It's not too far away and you can't see the actors' faces clearly.

It is located right in the middle and is quite central, so you can see everything at a glance.

When the heroine walked out from behind the big screen, she received applause from everyone present.

Shi Yi was a little confused, but still clapped along with everyone else.

Feng Ming whispered in her ear.

"This leading actress won the Best Actress award a while ago. Her name is Ding Siyi. She's acted in so many dramas. My parents really like her. I didn't expect she's even prettier in person than on TV."

While Feng Ming was explaining to Shi Yi, he stretched his neck to look at the bright woman on the stage.

However, the more Shi Yi read it, the more strange it seemed to her. How could it be different from the Dream of the Red Chamber that she had found?

"The gentle breeze of clear sky blows into the idle courtyard, swaying the spring like a thread. I pause for a moment to adjust my flower ornaments, without concealing the water lily to steal a glance from someone, the colorful clouds slanting in the wind."

When Shi Yi was looking up information, he felt that the lines were so beautiful that they made people feel as if they were there.

As a result, after the director's adaptation, the heroine appeared on the big screen.

Like a modern, energetic female college student, she was fanning herself under a tree and speaking.

"The weather is really nice today, and the water is so clear. My dad doesn't let me show my face in public, but I must!"

It vividly portrays Du Liniang as a young rebellious girl.

Although Shi Yi was a little hesitant to agree, the audience cheered continuously.

Moreover, the concise language does look more vivid and interesting.

Feng Ming whispered again.

"I heard that this Chinese director, Tuding, is really amazing. He transformed this traditional, obscure opera into a play suitable for all ages, and even mixed in some funny elements, making the obscure language lively and interesting."

"Look at all the people here today. Many of them brought their children with them. If this were traditional Kunqu opera, I'm afraid only some elderly grandparents would come to watch it. It wouldn't be a big hit at all."

I see....

Although it is not as good as what Shiyi looked up, this drama is indeed quite good.

The whole show was full of jokes. It was funny when it needed to be funny, and it made everyone cry when it needed to be emotional.

After reading it, I feel that this is just an ancient melodramatic love story disguised as a dream in the garden.

However, I have to say that this director is very knowledgeable about drama.

Ignoring the content of the entire play about the original work, it is actually quite good.

Until the end, when all the teams finished their performance, petals fluttered down from the top of the entire theater, creating a spectacular scene.

"Dear audience friends, please invite all our actors to come on stage to express our gratitude for watching!"

As the leading actor, Yu Ming stretched out his hands and bowed 90 degrees to the audience.

Then, many actors from the drama walked out from the side stages on both sides, stood behind Yu Ming, and waved enthusiastically to the audience.

At this time, a middle-aged man with long hair in the backstage was the director of this play, Tupin.

He shuttled back and forth in the backstage, sweating profusely and shouting at everyone he met.

"Where's Ding Siyi? Where's Ding Siyi?! She's on stage to give the thank you speech, so why doesn't she, the leading actress, show up?!"

Thumbtack grabbed a prop master at random, spitting everywhere, completely disregarding his image.

"Where's Ding Siyi? Where did she go?"

The prop master looked innocent and looked around for a long time, shaking his head.

"Hey... this is strange. I just saw Teacher Ding Siyi waiting backstage, how come she's gone now..."

Tuding was extremely anxious at this moment, as he was a Chinese director who had lived abroad for a long time.

This time, this drama is his debut work and is being screened and toured in the country for the first time.

If something like this goes wrong in the first game, he will have no chance of surviving in the mainland.

He would not allow anyone to destroy his art.

Unconsciously, Pushpin began to get anxious, and his curly hair began to blow up little by little with his temper.

He took out his cell phone, tapped it a few times, and then put it to his ear.

After a while, the phone was connected with a beep.

"Hey, Zeng Hao, where are your artists right now? I'm almost on stage to give my thanks, but the only one missing is the lead actress. What's going on?!"

"You begged so much to be the heroine of this play, and now you've got to mess it up!"

"I'm telling you, if you ruin my play, I won't forgive you! Hurry and find Ding Siyi for me!!"

Having said that, he hung up the phone without caring how the other party explained.

He was still moving back and forth in the background.

"Where's Ding Siyi? Has anyone seen Ding Siyi?"

The staff around were a little frightened. Seeing the somewhat irritable look of Pushpin, they couldn't help but make way for him.

The field assistant looked at the thumbtack with a bit of trepidation, muttering softly.

"Director, I just saw Teacher Ding Siyi...seemingly went out through the back door."

Pushpin's right eye twitched.

"What? She went out the back door? The play isn't over yet, what is she going out for?"

The assistant shook his head, not sure either.

Thumbtack slapped his thigh, pointed at the assistant's nose and cursed.

"What do you do for a living? If she wants to go out, don't you stop her?!"

The assistant took two steps back. The costume designer on the side couldn't stand it anymore and stood up to speak up for the timid girl.

"Director, calm down. Xiao Li is just an intern who just started working at our theater. How big of a celebrity is Ding Siyi? How dare she speak up to stop him? Isn't that a life-threatening move?"

Thumbtack stared at the assistant angrily and gritted his teeth.
