Chapter 846: "FROZEN" (Part 1)
A burst of Sanskrit-like harmonic chanting, from weak to strong, came from the stage and from all directions.
The man's voice is low, like a sailor's cry, but also like a mottled foundation stone, firmly supporting the foundation; the woman's voice is ethereal, depicting the infinite distance, staining the sky like the cold and magnificent aurora.
One is deep and solemn, the other is melodious and sacred. The multi-part chorus gradually captures the hearts of the audience.
The people who were joking with their peers gradually quieted down and turned their eyes to the stage.
There, the curtain slowly opened upward.
The cool moonlight shines through the tall floor-to-ceiling windows in the center of the stage, a string of clean and crisp piano sounds gurgling through, and the two little girls under the spotlight sit and stand.
The one sitting there had brown braids and was swinging his feet in boredom. The tips of his leather shoes were like two willful pendulums, ticking, ticking.
The one standing has his back to the audience, his long, light blond hair is tied into a bunch at the back of his neck, and he is wearing a gray-blue dress, which adds a layer of maturity. He is obviously the older of the two.
After the curtain was completely opened, the blond little guy turned around:
"Anna, look, it's sunny outside."
Leanna in the audience chuckled. She heard that she said it more like "Onna". She didn't know where the accent was or her personal pronunciation habits. She was unexpectedly elegant and cute.
"I know, I know Elsa!" Anna put her hands on her skirt and stood up, "The wind is running, the moon is laughing, and I'm so boring! !)”
The little girl's unique high-pitched voice combined with childish rhymes made the audience laugh out loud.
"It's boring, not boring." Elsa corrected.
"Oh, never mind it!"
Anna pouted her lips exaggeratedly, then suddenly ran towards Elsa face to face and held her hand.
“Do you want to build a snowman~” Anna sang with a smile, “Come on, let’s play together——”
Elsa held Anna's hands behind her back and made an "X" sign:
"But mom and dad said it was terrible and I wasn't allowed to use it..." she responded to Anna's singing with regret.
"Just think it's for your sister! Please—"
Anna shook Elsa's hand back and forth and said coquettishly, "You have the most amazing ice magic in the world——"
Elsa pushed her sister away gently in annoyance, shook her hands like a bouquet, and threw it upward.
The sound effect of "Shua la" followed, and the ice blue lights fell dotted down, as if snow was falling all over the sky, which was very dreamy.
There was a burst of admiration from the audience.
Many people present do not often watch dramas. From the bottom of their hearts, when it comes to special effects, videos and post-production are more exciting. Therefore, they do not have high expectations for stage effects, and their attitudes are more tolerant.
However, for some foreign viewers, they did not show any surprise and just continued watching calmly.
"Wow..."
Anna looked up longingly, "Yes, that's it!"
Her younger sister's bright eyes gave Elsa a lot of encouragement. She gathered her skirt with her hands and sang a little shyly:
"You really want to build a snowman...?"
"Of course!" Anna turned to look at her and raised her hands.
Aisha pursed her lips reservedly, but still couldn't hold back her big smile.
"Then let's build a snowman all night~"
"Great!"
Anna jumped up like a little fluffy lark and stretched out her hands to her sister.
"Me and you—"
The two little girls raised their arms and held their hands tightly together.
Then, Anna happily jumped over to her, and Elsa caught her, holding her sister and spinning her around, both of them giggling.
The cute little girl, the warm daily life of sisters, the dialogue and special effects simply explain the relationship between the two and the fact that sister Elsa has magic. This is an above-passing opening.
Yue Yang, who was sitting in the open-air seat, nodded secretly.
Bursts of singing came again, the floor-to-ceiling window scenery slowly moved up, the king and queen walked out one by one, maids, guards, residents and other extras sang harmony, walking step by step from back to front, Elsa and Anna also Interacting happily with each other in the center of the stage, the composition is complete and harmonious.
The singing changed from wordless to worded. The female voice was high and bright, while the male voice was low and deep. It was the opening song "Ode to Arendelle" arranged by Qin Jue and Wu Haizhou.
"The story takes place in a distant kingdom with a king, a queen and two beloved princesses."
(The story takes place in a distant kingdom, where there are kings, queens and their two beloved little princesses)
"Elsa has been a special child all these years."
(Elsa has been a special child all these years)
"The magic she grew up with filled her parents' hearts with love...
"And fear."
(The magic she grew up with filled her parents' hearts with love...and fear)
The accompanying orchestral music has a gentle trend and a slightly gloomy style. After repeatedly emphasizing Elsa's situation, it gradually turns to grandeur and majesty.
"One day the sun will be shining here..."
(One day it will be sunny here)
The men's voluminous robes, the ladies' flowing skirts, and the simple group dances have a unique atmosphere.
The audience who didn't know much about musicals and were a little embarrassed just now also had their eyes lit up at this moment and realized the charm of sitting on the spot and watching a live performance.
After all, this is a process of "getting into the play".
Not only the actors must be immersed in the characters, but the audience must also be involved in the drama in order to obtain the most comfortable viewing experience.
The passionate chorus and neat group dance quickly aroused the emotions of everyone in the audience. Even the audience in the open-air seats who were far away could feel the majestic momentum from the spectacular number of people.
The children who were brought here by their parents to watch the show were all attracted by this big scene, and they all opened their mouths wide and watched happily.
After a moment, the extras opened a path, allowing the royal family who had just reached the depths of the stage to slowly move forward again.
The king and queen stood behind the two little princesses, Elsa and Anna wore wreaths on their heads, and the four sang in unison with the harmonies of the group.
"May your crown never fall."
(May your crown never fall)
"May you always have true love——"
(May you always have true love)
The volume of the accompaniment fades and the lights dim, using intuitive audio-visual effects to hint that the song and dance is about to end, which is a very common transition method.
Keifer Wilson moved his mouth silently, a little concerned that the waiter hadn't brought the drinks yet. However, he was very restrained and did not raise his hand to affect the experience of other viewers.
Hmm... It has a decent beginning, the rhythm is acceptable, the choreography (stage art) is not bad, the scenery and costumes are relatively exquisite, and even though it is a semi-open-air theater, the sound effects are not attenuated.
However, it can be seen from the acting and choreography that the actors were rushed and had many flaws. The music is relatively mature in comparison. After all, it is a musical, and you can hear that you are paying attention to it. However, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The personal style is very heavy and there is a lack of teamwork...
It was immediately obvious that the two young actors were not child stars, and they had not received much professional training. They just had loud voices, were not out of tune, and were relatively into the role. They were still far away from being real professional actors...
Keifer Wilson was judging silently in his heart. From the corner of his eye, he saw that his two children were looking attentively, so he shook his head and smiled.
bring it on.
Seeing that now, he felt inexplicably more confident, no longer slightly nervous and apprehensive like before.
Let me see how good this Dragon Kingdom musical with the participation of Qinyi Technology can be and how high its upper limit can be.
Keifer stared calmly at the stage.
*Lyrics and lines are taken from the Broadway musical "Frozen" and have been changed.
*Since the content of the story is well known, this script section will relatively focus on the plot and stage effects, focusing on the special effects, wires and songs.
*(Other Q&A) The movies of the red group will be written in detail at the back.
