Chapter 120 The Phantom of the Opera, a classic to the distance
In Tokyo, it may be more appropriate to call the boarding spirit of modern England.
The second act slowly unfolds.
Because the falling curtain injured the starring actor of "Hanbani", all stages were temporarily replaced as Yuka Hanada played the heroine - Christina.
As a result, in the rehearsal venue and during the evening's performances.
Cristina's wonderful singing voice conquered everyone, including the young noble Raoul who attended the show that night, who was also a sponsor of the Opera House.
——————————————————————————————————
After that, the story gradually climbed toward climax.
The "Phantom" played by Kagura Maki uses his singing to lure Christina into the house in the middle of the underground lake where he lives.
Here, ‘She’ continues to use Music of the Night to seduce Christina’s mind and express her love:
"Look! These walls, these trees, these green corridors and the scenery on canvases, all contain supreme love. For here they were created by great poets who far surpassed the mortals.
This is very consistent with our love, because this love is also created here.”
Finally, after seeing the wax figure of herself wearing a wedding dress made by Phantom, Christina fainted in the beautiful singing of Phantom. Phantom lets Cristina lie on the bed to rest, while she buried herself in the creation of a new opera.
The next day, Christina slowly woke up and first discovered a small music box next to her (the one Raoul later took) and gradually recalled how she followed the Phantom to come here last night.
On the third day, curiosity drove her to take off the Phantom's mask while the Phantom was unprepared.
At this moment, the spotlight was on the stage, and Kagura Maki's cold and elegant face was exposed on the stage lights.
It triggered a commotion among the audience:
"Who is this 'boy' who plays the Phantom? There is such a handsome boy in Zhuxun High School?"
"I support them."
“Can’t support it too much.”
For young people, appearance seems to be the biggest plus point.
Yuka Hanada changed the Phantom, who was supposed to be an ugly man, to Andoto, but now he has become a more suitable Kagura Maki. Not only is it an insult to the opera, but it has also captured the role that the students like.
Kagura Maki's false voice is very cold: "Christina, I satisfy your curiosity, but I will never let you be free again."
Then, 'she' changed his mind and advised:
"Christina, don't be afraid. As you understand me, that fear will eventually turn into love."
The background music Thinkofme sounded just right.
The lights fell and then a small stage lit up.
Kagura Maki plays the "Phantom" and sings a monologue:
(Thinking of me tenderly, thinking of me
When we have said goodbye, I will give me a promise. You will try to do this
When you find out once again you desire to cheer yourself up, free
If you've found a moment thinking about me
We never said that our love lasts forever or never changes like the sea)
Xingzi was offstage, but she seemed to be more excited than the actors on stage: "If I were to do it, I would definitely agree immediately, let the male lead played by the vice president of the performance department get out of here."
"Maki is so charming."
Even Rie Fujii has only now discovered that this classmate of his class actually has such an attractive side.
Andaoyuan was speechless. He felt that he might not be able to make this opera more European and Western.
—————————————————————————————
Finally, it's time to mark it.
The male protagonist Raoul, played by the vice president of the performance club, has arrived in the basement, but is blocked from the iron bar.
"Christina!"
He begged the Phantom to do anything to him, but he would definitely let Christina go.
The Phantom was furious by his disturbance. When he was not careful, he used a Punjabi lasso to trap Raoul and forced Christina to make a choice:
"Christina, you either choose Raoul's life in exchange for your own freedom, or put on the wedding dress I prepared for Raoul's survival."
Although Raoul said that he could sacrifice his life for love, Christina could not bear the sacrifice of her lover.
She finally plucked up the courage and told the Phantom: "You will love, how powerful will it be, God will eventually save your soul, and your angel should not be me."
Then, she gave the Phantom a long kiss...
A meaningful kiss, like the brilliance of the Creator in heaven, illuminates the closed heart of the Phantom.
The Phantom played by Kagura Maki is completely impressed by the firm power of love of Christina.
He let go of the Punjabi sling around Raoul's neck and waved to Christina and Raoul:
"You guys leave quickly, and don't come back, and don't mention everything here to others."
The curtain really fell.
The lights fall
All the audience held their breath.
The final song echoed in the auditorium of Zhuxun High School:
(Late at night, every feeling is gradually reviving
Dark awakens and stimulates hallucinations
Silently, all senses put down their guard
Can't resist the temptation of musical notes in my writing
Because I wrote the song of the night
Slowly, gently, the night shows its magnificence
Capture it, feel it, subtle but shocking
The music I heard was so real, but the music seemed real and illusory
As fierce as lightning, as soft as candlelight
Song of the Night of Unable to Come
Close your eyes, because your eyes will only tell you the truth
Maybe the facts are not what you want to see
Maybe that's the dream I'm looking for)
The curtain rose, and there was no one left on the stage. Then, one of the performing club participants, whether they were auctioneers or supporting actresses in the choir, came out to finish the curtain call one by one.
When the end, Yuka Huada also came out.
The audience is still looking forward to the real starring role as if it were this time, the Phantom of the Opera.
But ‘he’ seemed to have disappeared, and it really disappeared. Until the curtain call ended, the actor of the Phantom did not appear, which left a hint of suspense for all the students who came to watch the movie.
It was as if all this disappeared as the song gradually disappeared, and it also disappeared like a bubble.
—————————————————————————————
Backstage that the audience didn't know, Yuka Hanada hugged Kaguramaki: "Maki, Maki, why don't you come to the curtain call? Everyone is waiting for you."
Kagura Maki had already changed into women's clothing at this time, and she shrugged: "I'm not from the performance club, and this ending, I think it should be the best ending of this opera."
Yuka Hanada has become a fan of Kagura Maki: "Maki, come to our club, I will give you the president. I believe no one will have any objections, please."
Kagura Maki packed up all his clothes, then walked towards the door of the backstage, and waved his hand very freely:
"Little Christina, it's time for me to set off, there are still people waiting for me in the distance."
Yuka Hanada did not stop her, and she whispered to a group of girls from the performance department: "Although Maki is a younger than me, she will be my idol in the future. My sister is my master, don't snatch me."
"You dream, I will always push Kagura Maki."
The girls in the performance department are almost fighting because of this.
At this time, the popularity of this opera was also hyped to the highest level on Zhuxun High School's tires, and many people who only watched half of them or simply did not come were almost regretful.
The actor of "Phantom" has become a bigger puzzle. In the mysterious rumors of Zhuxun High School, it can be compared with "Midnight Mozart's music".
Of course, Maki didn't know that these things happened.
She quietly added a stool, then sat next to Andoyuan, and made a boo gesture: "Shh, don't make a sound."
"What a memorable performance, Miss Phantom."
Andaoyuan said in a very low voice.
Kagura Maki received praise and a hint of brightness on his face:
Chapter completed!
