"A musical performance?"
"Yes, it's a musical performance."
Monica shrugged her shoulders, looking a little regretful.
"In my opera troupe, there's a contralto who can't perform in the next performance because of a vocal cord injury. The musical isn't all about bel canto singing, which is perfect for your style."
It's not that Dai Shutao had never heard of musical performances before, but she didn't expect to hear Monica invite her.
Just as Monica said, the musical performances presented by her opera troupe inherit the style before the 19th century. There are no excessive body movements. It is purely a fusion of vocals and music, providing the audience with an unprecedented auditory performance.
There are many styles of musicals, but few of them stay true to their original intentions like Monica's group does.
But it is precisely because of the monotonous style and adherence to the old school that the opera company has to put in 120,000 efforts and use the best musical actors to make the audience feel that the ticket is worthwhile, and at the same time to carve out a path among countless musical performances.
Monica was able to join this opera troupe and have a place in it entirely because of her strong ability. Now that Monica has invited Dai Shutao, it also means that she fully recognizes Dai Shutao's level, and she also sincerely hopes to have the opportunity to work with Dai Shutao again.
Musical performance...
Dai Shutao's smile faded. This was an experience she had never had before, and she was completely unfamiliar with this area.
It’s not like she hadn’t seen musicals before, but compared to those performances that used body movements and high-pitched voices to create auditory experiences, Dai Shutao found them rather uninteresting.
Dai Shutao did not respond directly, but cleverly led the topic to another piece of news, which soon made the atmosphere in the room lively again.
Since Monica was going to hold a concert in two days, she needed to go to the concert venue in advance to test the microphone and adjust her positioning. Dai Shutao said goodbye and left.
On the way back to his residence, Dai Shutao kept thinking about Monica's words.
It would be a lie to say that Dai Shutao was not at all moved by Monica's advice.
A musical performance is a live work presented in another form of music.
Dai Shutao felt his blood boiling just by listening to the scene described by Monica. His desire to create kept growing. He wanted to take out a pen and paper and write down the inspiration that came to his mind.
She also believes that if she really participates in a musical, it will definitely bring her more inspiration and create more satisfying works.
Although he was excited and expectant, Dai Shutao was also confused about the unknown.
The reason why she was able to live so comfortably after coming to this world was entirely due to her previous experience, which she had mastered step by step.
On the contrary, when it comes to unknown areas, people will always subconsciously avoid them before entering them.
Musical performance...
Since Dai Shutao did not rent a parking space, he simply parked his motorcycle in the security guard's exclusive parking space and paid a few hundred yuan every month as compensation.
After turning off the engine and getting out of the car, Dai Shutao walked lazily towards his residence holding his helmet, his mind full of what Monica said tonight.
"peach?"
A hesitant voice sounded behind Dai Shutao. Dai Shutao paused and slowly turned her head, and saw Qin Guican standing behind her wearing a knitted jacket, home clothes underneath, and cotton slippers.
After glancing at the trash can not far away, Dai Shutao finally realized why the man came out.
"Why are you back so late? You don't look very well. Did something happen?"
Qin Guican noticed the hesitation in Dai Shutao's expression and felt a little surprised. He thought about Dai Shutao's recent work arrangements and found nothing that could make her unhappy.
Or is it that her work schedule has been too tight recently and she is too tired?
"Nothing, I just want to go home and rest quickly. Mr. Qin, I'm going back first."
Dai Shutao was feeling a little confused now, and she didn't have time to bother with Qin Guican. She said a few perfunctory words and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute, I have something to tell you."
After taking only two steps, Dai Shutao's hand was suddenly grabbed by Qin Guican behind her.
The constant heat from the man's hands pressed against the woman's slightly cool skin, which made Dai Shutao stunned for two seconds and she did not break free immediately.
It was Qin Guican who reacted and let go of her hand in time to show that he had no intention of being frivolous.
"I heard that Monica is coming to China for a concert tour. Did you meet her today?"
Dai Shutao glanced at him and said nothing.
She was just too lazy to use her brain, but she was not stupid. Of course she knew that Qin Guican would ask Han Zhaohe and the studio staff to inquire about his daily schedule from time to time.
This is also the fact that Xiao Xu confessed voluntarily due to his uneasy conscience.
In fact, even if Xiao Xu didn't say it, Dai Shutao would still find it strange.
Why does Qin Guican always know where I work and send me afternoon tea and flowers, making it clear that he is pursuing me?
But Qin Guican never makes it known to everyone, and always maintains an appropriate attitude. If he refuses, it will be considered as an exaggeration, but if he lets it go, it will give the other party room to move forward, which makes Dai Shutao very troubled.
In order to prevent Dai Shutao from misunderstanding, Qin Guican spoke in a clear and direct voice and got straight to the point.
"The opera troupe Monica belongs to issued a public statement a few days ago, saying that one of their musical performers cannot participate in the performance due to vocal cord damage. Given their relentless nature, they must be in great need of a musical performer right now. I think this is a good opportunity for you to join."
Unexpectedly, Qin Guican pulled her in for the same reason. Dai Shutao hesitated for a few seconds and said helplessly, "But right now, my main style is still pop music and traditional Chinese music, and I'm also gradually expanding into other areas. Isn't it a bit too early to accept musical performances now?"
“This is different.”
Qin Guican immediately cut off Dai Shutao's hesitation, fearing that Dai Shutao would have a rebellious mentality, so he simply patiently guided her and showed enough patience.
"No matter how you expand your business, it's all about music. Musical performances have only advantages for you, no disadvantages. Participating in musicals can also use your own popularity to prove to domestic audiences that musical expression is not limited to the sounds stored in electronic machines. Using music to make the plot of a live performance more full-bodied is also a way to express music."
Seeing that Dai Shutao's expression began to change, Qin Guican curled the corners of his mouth.
"Don't you want to let more people know and accept this niche music form through musical performances?"
