Inside the City Theater, the seats were packed.
The audience sat in their seats, unable to watch the performance in a relaxed mood. They just wanted to escape from this place as soon as possible.
Under Ji Le's reminder, everyone found that as long as they sat on the chair, they could avoid being captured by the red silk, but sitting here all the time was not a complete solution.
"I still want to go home."
"I'm going on a date."
"I'm going to work overtime. The project will be launched tomorrow."
As the audience sat on their chairs and gradually adapted to the environment, they began to think about what they were doing before they were caught.
They don't think they will die here. Everyone has confidence in the Sheriff's Department. Even if the Sheriff's Department can't do anything, Philip Company will definitely do something. In this era of highly developed technology, what else is completely unsolvable?
The lights suddenly went out and the stage lit up. As recorded in the literature, a long time ago only the stage part of the theater was used for singers or actors to perform, and the rest of the area was all auditorium. Everyone's eyes will be focused on one part of the stage, and sometimes other audiences will interfere with their vision. Both the immersion and the stage effect are not as strong as they are now.
Modern people can no longer watch performances like that. The atmosphere and immersion are far inferior to what they are now - most people think so too.
In addition, society does not encourage people to spend time on such purely entertainment-oriented pastimes, nor does it recommend that people invest too much emotion in it. These have led to the gradual elimination of traditional theater performance forms.
At this time, as if to prove that everyone's views on traditional performance forms are unfair, the stage in front of them does not have any virtual projections or special effects, but it has a unique charm.
"Does she just want everyone to sit down and watch her performance?" Ji Le did not feel too many negative emotions in the box scene.
The performance in the box scene begins.
Leto felt compelled to lift his violin as part of the performance, which required him to accompany him behind.
He didn't feel threatened, he just felt sad standing on the stage.
It was as if this was the last time I would stand on stage in my life, and my performance was filled with an all-or-nothing determination.
Leto saw a music stand appearing in front of him, and the music score on the stand turned to a piece called "Butterfly Lovers".
He was a little surprised. This piece of music was so old that no one knew it anymore. Only some people who were still learning and studying classical instruments knew it.
This piece of music has a poignant style, but it is not just one emotion from beginning to end. It is like telling a story about a pair of lovers, from acquaintance to separation. It contains many complex and changeable emotions, which will make people immersed in it involuntarily. .
To put it simply, society does not encourage the circulation of such mood-changing tracks. It has no benefit except causing the audience's emotional ups and downs.
But Leto believes that this piece of music is of great research value and the story told in it is worth experiencing.
If he hadn't encountered such a bizarre accident, he would not have had the opportunity to perform this "Butterfly Lovers" in front of the public. At this time, he temporarily forgot about the environment he was in and that he was involved in an accident. He concentrated on perfectly presenting this piece of music that might only be performed once in his life.
He was even looking forward to seeing how the audience felt after hearing this piece of music.
People today are restricted from releasing their emotions, and they are ashamed of having rich emotions. This phenomenon is especially true among people with high status.
Leto's eyes fell on the company managers and upper-class elites in the audience, expecting to see them moved to tears.
These guys think they are superior and have abandoned human emotions, but in fact they are still human beings and cannot accept a part of themselves, which is even more ridiculous.
Leto admitted that it was bad for him to think so. He had never avoided his emotions. He admitted that he took pleasure in others' misfortune and liked to see these people suffer misfortune.
He smiled and played the first note.
The audience in the audience looked at the stage filled with lights and listened to the prelude of "Butterfly Lovers".
No one has ever heard such a melody. It is like a story written in music. Although I don’t know what kind of story it is, I feel a complicated emotion rising. Some people even have sore noses and feel sad and regretful. Love, but at the same time they also felt a hint of envy from the regret.
Many of the original audience also stayed, including Mist, who was sitting next to Ji Le.
He listened to this prelude and felt the emotions brewing in his heart. He suddenly woke up and looked around.
Most people are addicted to this music and cannot extricate themselves.
"This is not a good sign. This music is destroying us. It is arousing our emotions and shattering the things we have always maintained!" After Mist noticed this, he felt a strong sense of fear.
Although he didn't particularly understand it, he knew that the world he had lived in for a long time might be changed by something, and this inexplicable performance was the beginning.
Or, it had already started, but he didn't know it.
Mist shook Ji Le next to him in panic.
Ji Le turned his head. He looked at the person in charge of the Linton Group in front of him. He lost his previous calmness and showed fear in his eyes.
"We need to get out of here, it's - this show is eating away at our minds!"
Ji Le understands what Mist is afraid of, but unfortunately, he and Mist are not on the same ground.
Seeing Ji Le's lack of response, Mist became a little anxious.
He also knelt on the chair, stood up straight, and shouted to the audience behind him: "Don't be fooled by the things in the music. Think about what we have always insisted on. We must stay calm and rational. We must not be fooled by this kind of thing." Take everything away! This theater is destroying our will and destroying everything we know!"
Even though he was anxious, he did not leave his seat because he did not lose his calm and still remembered the rules of this theater.
His voice was loud and penetrating, and some viewers were awakened by him and became alert.
The song "Butterfly Lovers" seemed to have reached its climax, and the lights on the stage flickered a few times and turned blood red. Then a huge blood-colored translucent dolphin flew out from behind the stage, leaving a trail of shining spots.
At the same time, the breathtaking female voice penetrated the entire theater and merged with the most ups and downs of the entire song.
Mist felt his nose feel hot, and when he touched it, his hands were covered with blood.
And those people who were awakened by Mist's shout also showed pain on their faces.
Red silk once again shot from all directions, sweeping away Mist and some people who were shouting in pain.
Ji Le looked at these people. He probably knew what the pattern was, but he couldn't remind them at this time.
Because no noise or loud shouting is allowed during the performance. This is the most basic etiquette for watching a performance.
Modern performance forms also rely on Utopia LAN and virtual projection systems, which can isolate people's voices and allow people to only immerse themselves in the performance without seeing the reactions of other audiences. Therefore, this kind of silent etiquette is no longer very important in modern times. It was useful, and gradually no one knew about it.
