Chapter 199: The premiere of “Les Misérables” is a condition that absolutely cannot be agreed to [5/5 automatic subscription].
“Your Majesty Prücker, if you are willing to make precious time to see us, then you are certainly willing to open up the business of the north and the south, so you may wish to say your terms.”
Hearing Lawrence’s words, Ulysses smiled nonchalantly. Lightly.
“Your so-called trade, in our opinion, we will not get any benefits, and we will only cheapen you.”
“Do you just want to take advantage of the trade to import a large amount of industrial machinery from our empire, alleviate the pressure on the domestic economy, enhance national strength, and at the same time let your gold dollars circulate?”
Ulysses directly and ruthlessly punctured the intentions of the Confederate States, and his eyes were indifferent.
“I am also not interested in managing these, after all, people always have dreams, and since they are not a threat to me at all, I don’t mind helping every dream.”
“But you need to agree to our terms somewhere else, as if it were a trade of benefits.”
Although it was not clear what conditions Ulysses would offer, but the other side was at least willing to agree to trade between the north and the south, then they were half successful.
“I don’t know what conditions His Majesty Prucker has, but as long as it is not too excessive, we can make a decision directly.”
Lawrence asked hurriedly.
Ulysses waved his hand.
“No hurry, take a good stroll around Salamandis for two days, and after two days, see a show at my Prüker Imperial National Theatre, and it’s not too late to tell you.”
Two days was not long, but for the children of these nobles of the Confederate countries, it was full of suffering and novelty. These two emotions are intertwined.
The horror of seeing all the people of Salamantis praising the greatness of the empire was filled with novelty after stepping into some of the university campuses of the Pruk Empire that allowed 12 visits.
However, after a brief exchange between them and the students of the Pluk Empire here. All the novelty is also quickly transformed into suffering at this moment.
Gap!
They were all proud noble disciples of the members of the Confederate Union, educated in the most elite and engaged in the most decent work, yet here they felt that they were always in a gap with their surroundings.
The etiquette and knowledge that was once proud have become arrogant and ignorant here.
And the fighting mentality in their hearts for the rise of the Confederate Powers, in the eyes of the Prussian people here, has also become pedantic and conservative, and they are not willing to give up the glory of the family.
Even when Robert visited the Prucker State University of Political Science and Law, he was directly criticized by the Puluk law professor in the lecture, and was severely criticized.
“The shell is young, but the soul is decayed”
。 Salamandis National Theatre.
At about seven o’clock in the evening, when Lawrence arrived in a carriage, he saw a huge painted poster at the door.
It was a little girl, with a wandering and unconcealed sadness on her face.
[Les Misérables Musical] Original: Ulysses Prücker a [Les Misérables]. Composer: Ulysses Prücker.
Lyricist: Ulysses Prücker. Conductor: Yule Jotun. Actor:….
When he saw the above information, an ominous premonition rose from the hearts of several people, looked at each other, or silently walked into the theater.
“Father, the Father of the Nation really came, and he actually came to see my performance.”
Yule Jolton looked at his daughter, even in the face of a being like Ulysses, who was so confident in herself and could daydream on the spot, that he really didn’t know what to say.
“Well, pay attention to what you have to do today, if there is a flaw in the performance, you will honestly follow me to Volgograd County, and never want to see your father of the nation.”
Sure enough, as soon as these words came out, originally from the corner of the backstage, looking at the location of the Ulysses box, Sky, who was a fool, calmed down.
Meanwhile, Ulysses was in the box.
Sophia, Helena, and Jegilina, the three Ulysses women, have also arrived. The three of them still have high expectations for Ulysses’s unique creations in the absolute sense.
The value of Les Misérables itself, all three are clear.
“I didn’t expect to come here for a while, and so much change has taken place here.”
Sophia looked out at the stage from the box. From this point of view, it can be seen from this point of view, which is different from the original stage that was once there.
Today’s stage not only has specially made lamps, but also has some things like loudspeakers.
Since the arrival of those experts in electrical components, Salamandis, a city that has been fully electrified, has had the image of a metropolis in Ulysses’ mind.
When the time came to eight o’clock, the Grand Theater was already full.
Those who were able to come here were undoubtedly either senior generals of the Pruuk Imperial military or some high-ranking officials of the pool side who were on leave.
Or maybe it’s some big businessman who buys tickets from others at a great cost.
All in all, almost all of them were modest and courteous, and although the Pruk Empire had not yet canonized any nobles, these people seemed to be half noble.
With the time to reach the start of the show. The lights of the Grand Theater suddenly dimmed.
In the darkness, Yule Jotun, dressed in a tuxedo, stood in a command position on the side of the stage, and the lights hit him. As Yule Jotun took a deep breath, he entered the state and waved the baton in his hand.
“Boom! Boom boom! ”
The sound of heavy drums and sharp strings instantly lifted the spirits of all the audience. Just at the beginning, everyone felt a sense of heaviness and desolation.
In the box next door to Ulysses’s box, the Confederate negotiators, Lawrence and others were here. The familiar sound of the piano made Lawrence’s face change and he quickly searched for the location of the band on both sides of the dim.
Sure enough, he quickly saw the familiar figure. John Kepler.
Without waiting for him to react, a row of lights hit the stage.
Several actors dressed in rags, with shackles on their hands and feet, sang in a sad and high-pitched voice to the speakers. Around them, a man in a jailer’s uniform was holding a weapon and looking back and forth coldly.
“Look down! Look down! ”
“Avoid their eyes!”
“Look down! Look down! ”
“You will be buried here!”
“The sun is scorching, like hellfire.”
“Look down, look down! It’s going to be twenty years away! ”
“I am innocent, please be gracious to God!”
“Look down, look down, the sky has no eyes!”
Just the opening song, everyone is frowning, as if they are immersed in the scene.
There is no doubt that everyone who has come here has already read Ulysses’s “Les Misérables”, and after being adapted into a musical by Ulysses, the more intuitive expressiveness makes everyone feel a tingle in their scalps.
Some people who were once citizens of the Confederate States were watching the performances on stage at the moment.
As if the volcano in oppression, the sense of crisis that is about to erupt, makes everyone clench their fists inexplicably. Ulysses is truly the most talented musician in the whole world.
This unprecedented form of performance makes everyone feel the shock of this epic work. Ulysses in the box.
The excitement of the opening made Sophia’s three daughters directly unable to sit still, standing by the floor-to-ceiling window of the box, and just standing and watching. Sophia knew more about music, so at this moment she was shocked by Ulysses’s talent.
Ulysses also came to several people.
It has to be said that it is no wonder that Yule Jolton was able to become the chief musician of the Rottis royal family at the beginning, and his own ability is really excellent. This performance takes the expressiveness of Ulysses’ work to the extreme from the very beginning.
Although the conditions are relatively rudimentary and there are no various stage effects, the actors’ abilities are really online.
Lawrence and others are attracted by the performance on the stage at this moment, but everyone’s face is extremely ugly at the moment. It was almost already thought out what Ulysses’ condition was.
Off stage, Valjean’s actors sang quite emotionally.
Whether it is from the encounter in prison, being targeted everywhere after coming out, to the transformation of encountering the merchants of the Prussian Empire who feel warm and change their minds again, it is just right. 573 until a massive chorus begins. Groups of poor people in ragged clothes with a thick anger and hatred on their faces.
The music becomes urgent and exciting, but also full of hidden aggression.
“At the end of the long day, you’re a little older again”
“For the poor, that’s all there is to it”
“It’s a struggle, it’s a war, nobody gives anything”
“It’s another busy day, what is it for”
“It’s just one day less.”
“At the end of the long day, you’re a little colder again”
“The clothes on the body are thin, and they can’t resist the cold”
“The righteous gentleman hurried by, and he could not hear the women and children crying”
“Winter is coming quickly, ready to kill the ring…”
Ulysses didn’t know how Yule Jolton had trained these art school students, and was clearly singing at the moment, but everyone felt that this was really a group of people at the bottom of the era.
Questioning the heavens and nobles. Lawrence they are in the box.
The faces of the people, who had been gloomy, had turned pale.
Robert also had trepidation in his eyes at the moment, and the lyrics sung by these actors were the most vivid memory in his mind at the moment.
He had seen the scene in the slums of the royal capital of the Rhea Empire.
The poor people didn’t even have houses, they wore smelly, damp and filthy thin clothes, and they were crowded into bridges and alleys that could shelter them from the wind and snow.
Surrounded by a hurried but well-dressed, “upright gentleman” like them.
Looking back at this time, I realized in my mind that the pair of eyes that had been numbed in the cold wind and hunger at that time were mixed with anger and resentment that he had never noticed.
Robert’s eyes were bloodshot and his face was hideous, as if he had thought of some super terrifying picture. Whisper a hiss.
“No, we absolutely cannot agree to this condition of his! Absolutely not! ”
PS: It is highly recommended to watch the musical version of “Les Misérables”, which is quite shocking, absolutely a classic, even if it is dedicated to the current workers, there is no sense of violation [dog head to save life].
