Chapter 851: "FROZEN" (IV)
Polyphonic music? And it's an orchestral symphony?
Keffer's eyebrows slightly raised. He was used to stage drama performances, and he didn't show any surprise at the chorus. Instead, he was attracted by the music.
As we all know, the actors in a musical can be replaced, and even the plot can be moderately changed. This is why the music or the composer and arranger are the top priority, because it is they who determine the tone, style and soul of the play, not others.
Otherwise, so many classic musicals and operas would not be specially marked as "X/X version" in the renovation - the "X/X" here refers to neither the director nor the main actor, but the person responsible for the music production.
Compared with the previous opening chorus, the completeness of this song is unexpectedly high, especially the middle and later sections, which strictly follow the routine of the symphony finale: the performance changes from medium speed to fast, and the rondo structure is used to repeatedly emphasize the main melody, and constantly pushes to the climax in the grand momentum.
The quality difference is somewhat obvious. Could it be that the music of this play is not responsible for the same person or the same team?
While Kafe was thinking, Anna, who was surrounded by people, had already sang loudly:
"For the first time in forever——"
(This is the first time in life)
Before she finished speaking, Elsa, who was standing alone on a high place, raised her voice by an octave, and her voice was sent from her chest to her head. Her voice was mellow and not harsh, and was extremely high-pitched and clear:
"Don't let them in, don't let them see..."
(Don't let them get close, don't let them see)
The crowd around Anna danced gracefully, the ladies' skirts bloomed into gorgeous circles, and the men's one-shoulder capes fluttered like flags. It looked magnificent and prosperous.
"I'm getting what I'm dreaming of——"
(My dream becomes reality)
Elsa closed her eyes tightly and warned herself: "——Be the good girl you always have to be."
(Be a standard good girl, like you have always done before)
Anna took a few steps back happily, and the crowd walked quickly around her, sometimes jumping lightly, sometimes spinning, occasionally gathering, and occasionally spreading. She seemed to be tightly surrounded by countless flowers and tender grass, and the air was full of the smell of bright spring.
"A chance to change my lonely world~"
(I have a chance to change my lonely world)
"Conceal..."
(Hide)
"A chance to find true love——"
(I have a chance to find true love)
"Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know——"
(Hide, restrain, can't let them know)
The ground music scene, the high platform sadness, Anna's singing is melodious and pleasant, the speed is moderate, full of longing and no worry, while Elsa's high notes are full of struggle, and the repetition of the second sentence with faster speed further renders the anxiety and tension.
After Elsa finished singing this sentence, a figure in a red military uniform appeared behind her. She sighed lightly, shrugged her shoulders and turned to face him. The lights also dimmed quietly at this moment.
The stairs had already risen and retracted. The long European balcony where Elsa and her attendants were located slowly went up and left in the darkness. The ground was bright. Anna lifted her skirt and walked from the middle to the side of the stage. The dancing people stopped and scattered to both sides. More figures gradually walked out of the open door.
The first was a tall and thin old man in a military dress. He seemed to be a senior official. Two attendants with similar dress styles followed him on both sides. The three of them walked to the front of the stage together and then walked to the other side.
"I know it all ends tomorrow. So it has to be today——"
(I know everything will disappear tomorrow, so I must seize today——)
Anna was still singing loudly, and there was a cheer from the audience. The second person to appear in the center of the deep stage was Qin Jue.
Her hair was dyed reddish brown, and she had a meticulous aristocratic hairstyle. The heavy makeup unique to stage plays did not look heavy or greasy at all, but clearly showed the superiority of her facial features. The white dress was not very gorgeous, but it was well-cut, magnifying her already outstanding body proportions. When she stepped forward, she seemed to be walking on a catwalk. No wonder even the audience who were not familiar with this actor cheered.
"Wow!" Ellie in the audience shouted, "He is a prince!"
It was too obvious. From his appearance, clothes to his temperament, plus the content of Anna's singing just now, Leanna and Jenny had already guessed in their hearts that this prince would develop a relationship with Anna, and many audiences thought so too.
"So handsome! Is Anna going to have a love scene?"
Hearing the girls around them whispering their opinions to their friends, the young couple looked at each other and concealed the truth very "maliciously".
God knows they were quite moved when they watched the live broadcast in the cinema in the afternoon. They watched Hans and Anna singing and dancing while being close to each other. They also decided to learn the song when they got home and posted their sweet cover on an online karaoke platform. But then the plot took a turn. Oh, so angry!
"Obviously they are so handsome, and the two of them match each other very well..." the girl in the couple muttered angrily.
If she didn't have to consider the viewing experience of the people next to her, she would have wanted to squeeze the air to vent her anger.
"Cause for the first time in forever——"
As Anna and the other actors sang together, Hans, played by Qin Jue, walked away to one side. Then the audience who had been cheering and expecting were stunned, because the third person who walked out from behind the door turned out to be... …
"Oh my God, is that a reindeer!"
Some foreign spectators in the infield seats exclaimed.
Not surprising that she was surprised, Kev also opened his eyes wide in surprise.
His work has exposed him to a lot of stage props and special effects production. If this was just a "reindeer skin" with actors of the right size inside to perform corresponding actions, he wouldn't be so surprised.
So what kind of reindeer leather muff still makes the blond guy tilt his head to the other side and snort playfully when he pulls on the rope?
——Did they really find a live reindeer on stage? !
The more Keifer thought about it, the more outrageous he felt. Animal show? How can this be? are you kidding me?
Apparently he was not the only one who thought so. When Xu Shuangshuang pulled the wooden cart with huge ice cubes and the reindeer to the front of the stage, the voices in the open-air seats were filled with surprise and suspicion.
Yue Yang even sat upright in his seat and leaned forward to take a closer look.
It's so real, the way he walks, the expression on his face, including the swaying antlers are all very real. how did you do that?
When everyone was attracted by the reindeer, Anna's singing sounded again:
"For the first time in forever..."
(This is the first time in my life)
She stretched her arms and turned in circles, and the crowd sang and sang back and forth. Different voices and parts intertwined into a torrential river. It was truly an audio-visual feast.
The men and women in gorgeous dresses moved behind the door. Anna held up the hem of her skirt and dodged happily in the crowd. Then she put down her skirt and walked forward with her arms swinging proudly:
“Nothing’s in my way—!”
(Everything went so smoothly——)
"—Be careful!"
"Ouch!"
The young man pulling the ice cart reached out to remind him, but Anna, who was shaking her head and immersed in her own world, didn't pay attention. She stumbled against the reindeer who was scratching its hooves out of boredom, lost her balance and fell towards the prince in white dress who was standing aside.
The scream made the prince turn around, and his expression immediately became horrified. He stretched his hands forward to catch Anna, but the toes and heels of his two feet got into a fight for some reason, knocking him down.
With a thud, they both fell to the ground at the same time, and Anna lay on top of the prince.
"Ohhhhhh——"
The much-loved physical contact aroused cheers from the audience. Although the plot was very vulgar, such a little ambiguity can really bring out the cuteness of everyone, especially when both people have outstanding looks.
Ellie was also saying "oh oh" excitedly, but Jenny tilted her head strangely.
"Is it an actor's mistake, mother?" she asked Rianna in a low voice. "The prince tripped himself."
