Chapter 23
Chunxi was sleeping soundly on Ronaldo's bed, unaware of anything. Ronaldo kept showering with cold water in the bathroom to calm the churning lava in his chest. He couldn't imagine how he could be such a beast. How could he kiss a fifteen-year-old girl? Not only did he have desire for a fifteen-year-old girl, but he couldn't help but kiss her. Ronaldo looked at his palm with complicated eyes. Chunxi's soft and delicate skin and slender waist seemed to still retain the ultimate touch in his palm, which made Ronaldo sink and frightened.
Is he a hidden pedophile? C Ronaldo wiped the water off his face, and his determined eyes showed through the misty water vapor. He is Cristiano Ronaldo. He can control everything about himself, everything.
When Chunxi woke up the next day, she was the only one in the hotel suite. Mr. Cristiano, who was there before he got drunk last night, was gone. There was a note on the bedside table. In Cristiano's not-so-nice handwriting, it said: If you wake up, you can go back by yourself. I hope you have a certain understanding of the feeling you need.
Very gentlemanly, but... also distant. He wasn't like this last night. Chunxi had an unknown feeling in her heart, a little depressed. This emotion was like there was something spicy stuck in her throat, which she couldn't cough out or swallow, and it made her feel uncomfortable.
He shook his head to put aside this inexplicable feeling of grievance, washed up and went out.
At this time, Ronaldo had already boarded the plane back to Manchester. Looking at the clouds outside the window, he couldn't help but think of Nemor. How was she? Are you up? Feeling hungover? Having a headache? Will she blame him for leaving without saying goodbye? C Luo thought for a while, and forced himself to forget, forced himself to forget the beauty of last night.
Sir Alex Ferguson has actually noticed Ronaldo's depression, but he doesn't know the reason, and he also hopes that his beloved disciple can regulate these emotions himself, or at least not let these emotions affect the game, which would be a very unwise thing to do.
As expected, Ronaldo gradually got rid of the irritability and quickly returned to normal, but has he really put this matter behind him and won't think about it again? No one knows the answer, perhaps only Ronaldo himself knows.
The sense of indulgence that drunkenness brought to Chunxi was also incomparable. Chunxi quickly found the kind of passionate and unrestrained feeling of Carmen. When she appeared in front of Tosca to perform again, Chunxi seemed like a different person. Watching Chunxi's performance, Tosca seemed to see a living Carmen, flesh and blood, vivid, even making people have the illusion that this might be Carmen herself, she was telling her own life, her own love, and her own attitude.
After watching the entire performance, Tosca's eyes were a little misty with tears. How long has it been since she saw such a wonderful opera performance? Tosca thought silently, there are many so-called opera masters, but when you become an opera master, you will no longer treat a scene of opera with such a sincere heart. I get drunk for a scene of opera, I challenge my own values for a scene of opera, I think about it day and night and strive for perfection for a scene of opera. No matter what you do, it is probably this unreserved sincerity that can most touch people's hearts.
"Your performance was perfect, Ivory. You moved me. You really played the role of Carmen perfectly." Tosca wiped his eyes. "Child, I am so lucky to be able to teach you for a short period of time. In fact, when I was teaching you, you also taught me something. When people reach a certain height, they will begin to be satisfied with the status quo and stop moving forward. It is your efforts that taught me that even if I am already at a high place, I still have to keep climbing, keep moving forward all my life, and pursue better and more perfect things. Thank you, child."
Tosca bowed deeply to Chunxi, and Chunxi quickly helped Tosca up: "Teacher, as long as you are my teacher, you will always be my teacher, regardless of the length of time. As for thanking you, I think I am the one who should thank you sincerely. Your selfless teaching has given me a deeper understanding of opera. It is also because of you that I have the opportunity to step onto the opera stage, perform a scene in a classic opera, and even play the leading role. I have to thank you for this."
I really have to thank Tosca very much. Chunxi has no qualifications in opera and is not even a graduate of a professional school. To push Chunxi to the top requires Tosca to make a lot of efforts and bear a lot of pressure. This was no small performance, but a grand and large-scale one. The leading female role was given to a newcomer who had only been seriously involved in opera for a few months. Everyone thought that Tosca was mentally ill or had been paid. The bigger the controversy, the more shocked those people will be when the result comes out. Tosca is well aware of the principle of using strength to slap others in the face, and he also decided to do so very happily. He felt extremely happy when he thought that one of the music critics who questioned Chunxi was his long-time rival and that he might be slapped in the face this time.
Italy is also considered the birthplace of opera, and this performance had a huge impact in Italy. Countless people were talking about this performance, especially the inexperienced girl who played the leading female role for the first time. The specific name is not known yet, but this girl is already in everyone's discussion. Her code name is "the ignorant Carmen girl". Everyone who knew about this was laughing at this ignorant girl. How could a newbie who knew nothing dare to take on such an important task and play the role of Carmen?
"I really don't know what happened to old Tosca. He actually chose such a person to play Carmen. Doesn't he know the importance of this performance?"
"Maybe that girl is really outstanding?...Oh my god, I can't make it up anymore. Did Old Tosca really get paid? Is that why he chose such a person so thoughtlessly?"
"Maybe. I think old Tosca has fallen into the state of only watching actors for money. I just hope this ignorant Carmen girl won't ruin my favorite Carmen."
No matter how much others doubt it, the day of the performance will eventually come. Some people walk into the theater with doubts about Tosca and an attitude of wanting to see the show, some go there just to bring down Tosca, the unfading star in the opera world, and there are even more ignorant spectators who just go there to watch the fun.
We walked into the theater and gradually took our seats. The lights in the theater dimmed and the band conductor appeared. He first played two lively and cheerful songs to warm up the atmosphere.
The curtain slowly opens, and the first scene is a busy market. A team of patrolling soldiers are drinking and singing boredly, and a girl appears looking for Tannhauser. The soldier tells the girl that Tannhauser will come when the shift changes. When the soldiers who are changing shifts arrive, a group of children lead the way in front, imitating the soldiers' pace. The children sang the flute and drum march "We Are With the Soldiers" in a brisk 2/4 beat. This scene creates the image of the gypsy girl Carmen as passionate, unrestrained and charming.
Amid the calls and anticipation of a group of men, Carmen finally appeared. She was wearing a sexy dress. The color was dark but it could not hide Carmen's glamor. When Carmen appeared, everyone who could see her face was stunned, and when she opened her mouth, everyone was stunned. The famous "Habanera" sung by Carmen when she appeared in the first act expressed her unique view of love to everyone: "Even if you don't love me, I will still love you; if I fall in love with you, you'd better be careful!" The free-spirited rhythm of the theme melody and the descending semitone tones with triplets are highly tempting, gorgeous and elegant, lively and frivolous, vividly showing Carmen's charm and unrestrained character. Chunxi's singing also makes this song more vivid.
I originally thought I was here to see a good show, but as I watched I was drawn in and completely immersed in Carmen, played by Chunxi. The theme of "Carmen" is from love to destruction. The plot develops rapidly and deeply, and the lyrics are simple and compact. In his musical creation, Bizet strived to embody the principles of realism, and showed the colorful social life with rich melodies of different characters. In particular, he successfully portrayed Carmen's multi-faceted personality, such as gentleness, straightforwardness, enthusiasm, cruelty, temptation, arrogance, debauchery, and cunning; he created many distinct, lifelike, and dazzling artistic images such as Carmen, José, and the bullfighter, created a dramatic atmosphere with strong contrast and conflict, and achieved a shocking dramatic effect.
This was vividly demonstrated in Chunxi's performance, which severely slapped the faces of those who doubted her.
