Chapter 417 Symphony? Can you watch it? A performance that will be a sensation!
It was December 1872, and Christmas was coming soon, and people in the American Empire were preparing for the holidays. As for the previous public opinion wars, we can temporarily let go.: 6d
The empire was relatively open-minded. The holidays like Christmas were not cancelled because of Chinese people or reduced the festive atmosphere. However, some priests complained a lot because the empire had strict laws on religion, that is, you cannot force others to believe in religion, and this cannot be forced. Sometimes there will be many explanations... This makes the priest feel a little restrained.
OK, these things are not the focus. The empire is very good now, with various construction and development. Most people have jobs. Of course, with construction and development, there will inevitably be some chaos... These things are temporarily put on hold, and the festival is coming.
"Comrades, please keep order!"
"Comrades watching the performance! Please wait for a while."
"Oh! Look!"
"He's here! Haha!"
In the empire, New York, this city is still the largest city in the empire, and it is probably even bigger, but today there is a big thing to happen, that is, in the central area of Manhattan Island in New York, there is a theater called Broadway, which will welcome an important guest here, that is, the empire's emperor, Li Mengyang!
Why did the emperor come? And why did he come to this place? And this is a theater?
Obviously, the Emperor of the Empire is coming, so it may have something to do with the theater. Maybe it's because Christmas is coming, so it may not be necessary for him to watch a drama. The emperor is also a human being, and...
"Wow! Look! It's His Majesty the Emperor!"
"His Majesty!"
“——!”
The entrance of the Broadway Theater is really crowded. Not only is there a radio reminding everyone to keep order, but there are also many reporters. When everyone sees the emperor appear, the order is a little unstoppable!
"Please be calm! Calm down!" Fortunately, since the emperor is here, the security work will naturally be done well, so many people have long been making walls of human beings there, blocking the surging waves of people.
"Oh look! Those are His Majesty's concubines!"
"Oh! The beautiful Queen Huang!"
"Oh my God is Princess Fiona! Her beauty is unrivaled!"
"No! I like Princess Eleanor more. She is the real beauty. Her smile is so intoxicating!"
"Who said it! Ilena is the beauty! She has a mature intellectual beauty that makes people irresistible!"
"Okay gentlemen, if you need a duel, just find an empty venue, it's too crowded!"
Emperor Li Mengyang is a little better, but when the emperor's four wives appeared, it was so big that the security guards were so powerful!
I heard that someone had fought before because of arguing about which concubine of His Majesty the Emperor was more beautiful. He was seriously injured and criticized by many people, saying that such comments were immoral... It is also true. Do you say that you always have other people's wives together?... But this debate has not decreased, but has become more intense.
OK, let’s talk about human rights here, and it’s always OK, but we can’t even get any crime.
It can be said that this time, it was extremely standard. In addition to the children, the emperor's family also attended the event in full costumes. For example, Li Mengyang was his imperial uniform that combines Chinese and Western styles. However, this time it changed a little, just adding some ribs to make it look more gorgeous. The concubines were all wearing Victorian-style skirts, which were very elegant and luxurious, but the patterns on it represented their respective ethnic groups. Huang Rong naturally had a phoenix, and Eleanna had a bit of French style. Eleanor and Fiona put some effort into the color.
It's a cold day. Of course, I'd like to add a shawl or something, but it's good, it's really good and beautiful!
Puff puff puff puff puff... The spotlights kept flashing, and the reporters present felt that the camera was not enough!
Spotlight?
Now I made a small lamp, and then I changed it with a flash. There was no way, and now I can do this.
"Look! General Ocassi!"
"General Fog Wind!"
"Secretary-General of the Empire!"
You really don't know that the Broadway theater is really unprecedented today. Not only are there emperors of the empire, but also many empire officials.
Needless to say, Okathy, but this time, the old Taoist Wufeng came with his family, and he was also a blonde and blue-eyed foreign girl, that... Nancy!
Anyway, I don’t know how to do it. They got together. This really surprised Li Mengyang. What’s even more interesting is Lin Xiaoti. This guy also brought his family and a white woman, just like Mary Chesnart!
OK... Li Mengyang really didn't encourage intermarriage among all ethnic groups, really didn't, but it seems that these old bachelors of Chinese prefer to marry foreign women... There are objective reasons for this, because after all, there are fewer Chinese women and more men, which is a bit like later generations...
And not only were they, but there were many officials, many famous figures, and even Frederick Douglas, who also came, and I heard that there were many foreign friends, so this...
What exactly is this going to do? This theater? Drama? It created such a battle just to watch the show?
Then... I'd better watch the show first.
"Comrades!" The emcee on the stage spoke first, "Today! His Majesty the Emperor of the American Empire is here! I should have said a lot, such as His Majesty's title..."
"Hahaha……"
You really don’t know. Don’t look at so many high-ranking officials and the emperors are there, but the atmosphere is still very relaxed. Just kidding, there is no problem at all.
In fact, this is normal. In the New World, because the people who come from are not nobles, most of them are low-level people, and the highest is middle-level people. Therefore, the culture of this area is not very serious, and making jokes is normal. Li Mengyang naturally knew that he would let it go.
"But!" the emcee continued to preach: "His Majesty the Emperor specially reminded me before, asking me to tell me a long story and not to waste everyone's time. This task is really too difficult, right?"
"Hahaha..." Is this a long story short?
Obviously, this joke was good, and Li Mengyang, who was sitting in the audience, and his wife were both smiling very hard.
At this time, there were actually not many auditoriums in the theater. Because there were orchestras or orchestras to accompany the audience, the stage occupied a large area, but fortunately, our empire now has radio speakers, which could at least spread the music in this theater. Therefore, there were still a large number of New York citizens outside, preparing to listen to music.
Now, the band is ready, and the curtain of the Broadway Theater slowly opens, and I see...
There are no actors on the stage, there is only a small platform in the center, and there is something on this platform. For a moment, everyone can't quite understand what this thing is useful. It's just something like a box, just facing the direction of the stage curtain, the box is in the shape of a semicircle.
All of this is nothing, but the strangest thing is the stage. Generally speaking, there are many mechanisms in the stage these days, and you can create some sets and create some scenes. But now, there is a curtain behind it, and it is still a large curtain with a curve!
What are you going to do?
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the entire theater became dark and the lights were turned off, but some faint lights from the band were left behind. There was no way, they still had to read the score!
But, what exactly is this going to do?
The audience was really like an ant on a hot pan at this time, because they were told before that there would be an unparalleled performance, but now... they still have to wait.
But fortunately, there was finally a change!
Wow~
With a trombone ringing, the band begins their work, the music begins, which means the performance begins, approaching...
Bang bang, bang bang bang bang bang bang...
The sound of drums, trumpets, piano sounds... are complementary. This kind of symphony is a high-level entertainment project in today's era. So in this way, this performance is a performance of the symphony orchestra?
But I haven't heard this song! I really haven't heard it!
The new song, and this song has its own characteristics, is that it is very powerful, giving people a very shocking feeling, and this feeling...
"Wow!"
Suddenly, the audience in the entire theater exclaimed, even Li Mengyang's four concubines were no exception, because the small box in the center of the stage glowed, and after this light was projected on the arc-shaped curtain, it was simply a dot of starlight!
Yes, it should be said that it is the stars, the star map!
The audience can find their favorite stars from that curtain, Polaris, Big Dipper, Casino, Perseus Sagittarius... You can find anything you want. Maybe this curtain cannot cover all the stars in the sky, because the universe is really too vast, there are countless stars, but the things that are displayed in the dark at this time are enough to shock!
The universe and galaxy, coupled with such a majestic symphony, are really exciting in the theater at this time, and the audience seems to be in the vast universe, and...
Move!
The curtain was moving, oh, no, it was the stars moving and rotating, and this action was like we were already in the universe!
It should be said that this scene has been seen by ordinary astronomers, but the rotation of this scene, coupled with the symphony at this time, really makes people feel a very strong feeling of being there, as if it is floating, this feeling...
It's so amazing! Welcome)
ps: Don't worry, hehe...
Chapter completed!
