Shigeto Tokiwa is the grandson of the founder of the academy, and Hajime and his party are the grandsons of Ryudoji, the founder of Tokyo Republic Academy. The two sides have the same position, but there is a huge gap in age. If the father of the four brothers, Wei, is still alive, He is in his early fifties now, and Principal Tokiwa is still much older than him. Principal Tokiwa has been running the school for 20 years, and there have been no serious mistakes during the period.Fortunately, he did not get into debt because of the large-scale expansion of the school. At the same time, he also cultivated several first-class actors, ballet dancers and stage managers. However, he himself is only a pure operator and does not have the talent of a stage artist.In any case, the Tokiwa Academy of Stage Arts is not only well-known in the stage art world, the principal of Tokiwa also often participates in educational programs on national TV stations. There are several writers, poets, painters, potters and other cultural figures living in Wuli Town, and Tokiwa The principal is their representative. "...Looking at the past, there are quite a lot of weirdos here." Walking on the campus of Tokiwa Academy of Stage Arts, Ryutangyu commented on the bustling students. "Being an actor must first have a distinctive appearance. It's not easy. They just need to wear fancy clothes." The words are almost clear and straight, but in fact, it all comes from the two brothers' learning and selling. "But I think we're probably the strangest thing in this town." "makes sense." The youngest who was walking side by side with the three men nodded in agreement. "Because we're not human." "Hey! Don't say it so loudly! If humans hear it, we will be driven out!" The three men acted like an elder brother and warned the younger brother. "Mammoth elephants and saber-toothed tigers were exterminated by brutal humans. One can imagine what will happen to us once our identities are exposed. It is best to be careful!" The two walked into the school building while chatting. Although the wooden building was old, it was still solid. The corridors were illuminated white by fluorescent lights. There were pointers to the entrances of the classrooms such as "The First Practice Room of the Drama Department" and "Theory Classroom of the Dance Department" Board, and the sound of fluttering piano can be heard from time to time.After turning a corner, you can see a large room marked "Dance Practice Room" with wooden floor tiles. The patio is quite high, and one wall is full of mirrors. As soon as he walked in, there was a rude voice, which was tantamount to proving what he had just said. "You are not students of the school, don't hang around here!" Dyeing their hair brown and wearing earrings, a group of young people who thought they would be able to highlight their full personality stepped forward to question Zhong and Yu. These people were about 20 years old, and finally showed a bright smile because he could Surely, this group of people can be settled without moving a finger. "We are not outsiders, and we are doing pre-enrolment observation now." "Admission? Which subject do you study?" "Don't you guys know? Next year the school will open a Peking Opera training course, and we are the first batch of students." "Why haven't I heard of this?!" "Just ask Mr. Principal, if you still doubt, I can show you my hands, Yu!" After finally calling his little brother over and confessing a few words in a low voice, Yu nodded, walked a few steps and stood face to face with him, then crossed his fingers. "Okay!" Zhong shouted, raising his hands above his head. At the same time, Yu Ye jumped from the floor and made an upside-down posture on Zhong's hands. The lightness of the movement seemed to ignore the gravity of the earth, which caused the students present to cry. There was an uproar.Then finally put down his left arm, Yu Ye only stood upside down on his right hand with his left hand, the balance of the center of gravity of his body was not disturbed at all, then finally pushed his right hand upwards, Yu Ye immediately let go of his left hand, and turned around in mid-air, His left hand was once again attached to Zhong's right hand, and he stood upside down. When Yu returned to the floor steadily, applause burst from all around him. "This isn't Peking Opera, it's more like juggling. It's very suitable for you!" Although he made things difficult on purpose, the attitude of the young man with the short mustache was less aggressive than before, and he stretched out his hands to wipe off the cold sweat, so he finally judged that the previous aggressiveness had achieved the effect. "Please teach me more next year, senior." "Who is your senior? Don't bark!" That's what I said, but I don't seem to reject the feeling of being called a senior. They are really a group of pure and kind young people. The young man with wide-set eyes said casually that the floor shook at this time, and most Japanese people would think it was an earthquake, but the students here panicked because of other reasons. A young man with thin cheeks wailed: "Oops, Oops Oh, it's Kobayakawa from life counseling!" The tone is full of fear. Finally, I saw a huge figure projected on the wall. Under the illumination of the corridor lights, the shadow stretched very long, even extending into the classroom. There was a burst of weird laughter. "Oh heh heh heh heh heh heh heh!" The window panes in the corridor vibrated, and the expressions of the students turned pale immediately, and they finally raised their toes slightly, ready to deal with any emergencies. The bright colors in front of my eyes are dazzling. A long-sleeved kimono made of deep purple texture is embroidered with peacock patterns with gold and silver threads. A monster-like figure appears on the stage!He was as tall as his second elder brother Xu, but weighed more than twice that of him. He wore a total of 10 rings on his fat fingers, and his big, powerful face was covered with white powder like chalk dust. "You skipped class again?!" The voice that resounded through Yunxiao turned into waves and shook the curtains. "No, the teacher asked for leave today..." The other party ignored the weak-as-small-mosquito's excuse, and turned his piercing eyes to Long Tang Zhong. "You don't seem to be a student here, haven't you seen me before?" "yes." Once this kind of weird girl has been seen once, it is impossible to forget it and forget it. I thought so in my heart, but in the end I still affirmed it solemnly. Immediately, his whole body was bathed in the suspicious eyes of Mr. Kobayakawa, and he even felt his skin sizzling. "Oh, really? I always feel as if I've seen you somewhere before. This is probably the so-called déjà vu." "Well, that should be the case." In the end, he answered smoothly, but in the eyes of Mr. Kobayakawa, his attitude was not sincere enough.Suddenly her right hand stuffed into the left cuff and took out something, it was a big fresh and juicy apple. Teacher Kobayakawa lifted both ends of his big mouth to show a smile, and then shouted "Look!" He smashed the apple in his right hand with ease, splashing the apple juice everywhere, and eventually his eyes widened on the spot. This is an extraordinary power! "Oh hehehehehe, even if you don't have eyes, you should see clearly what happened just now, right?" "Yes, very clearly." "The bad student who dares to rebel in front of me, I will crush his head like this apple, and then throw it into a large garbage disposal site, you remember clearly, ohhhhhhhhh!" As soon as Mr. Kobayakawa's giant body turned around, a cloud of dust rolled up. Because he had successfully performed a wonderful showdown just now, he forgot to trace his true identity, and the loud footsteps on the floor gradually faded away. With its huge body and heavy foot strength, it can be seen that this school building was indeed built with great care, and no corners were cut. "Thank you for your blessing, thank you for your blessing." The students spoke lines from the costume drama, some broke out in cold sweat, and some crossed themselves on their chests. They must have been quite frightened. At this moment, they finally asked an intuitive question. "Why would you find that kind of person to be your teacher?" "I don't know, she seems to be the daughter of someone powerful, and she can call the mayor by his name directly!" "Is her father the county magistrate or a member of the council?" Under the influence of his elder brother, he finally felt that this kind of small official was nothing special at all, and only thought that the position of the other party was probably slightly higher than that of the mayor.The students turned their heads slowly and said: "I don't know..." It seems that just thinking about it, Mr. Kobayakawa will become a mental burden for them. In the end, he is quite understanding of their feelings, so he didn't ask in depth. "There will be an opening ceremony for the International Theater Festival." "Of course." "Who will be speaking?" "The chairman of the operation committee, the chairman of the review committee, and the representatives of the county magistrate, the town mayor, and the head of the cultural agency..." Thinking of such unanimous words, he could not escape for about an hour, and finally satirized in his heart. He was rarely so cynical, but he just learned the truth that people who have no content are more talkative. "Which of them is the greatest?" After all, I asked innocently. The students seemed to have thought about this question in normal times, so the answers were varied. "Each of them must think he's the boss." "Anyway, the one who pays is the biggest." "I heard that there were some disputes over the order of the speeches. It will be fun then." "The county magistrate doesn't seem to have made any achievements." Everyone's argument is very reasonable, but in the end there is still no definite conclusion. If you are too eager to ask questions, you may be suspicious, although you are regarded as a suspicious person from the beginning... Just as you finally thought about it, a young man with a long face asked: "By the way, where did you learn the skills of Peking Opera?" "Because I was born into a pretty miserable family." "Really?" "Parents died young..." "Huh? Really?" "The elder brother is always preachy, arbitrary and petty, just like the authoritarian Lei Gong, and the second elder brother has a cold and sinister temperament, even if he dies and goes to hell, he will be reincarnated immediately..." In the end, there were endless complaints against the brothers, but at this time the younger brother interrupted. "If you don't go fast, you will miss dinner time." "Ah, is that right? Seniors, we'll excuse you first!" In the blink of an eye, the pair of unknown brothers disappeared without a trace, while the "seniors" who stayed in place looked at each other dumbfounded. "What's going on with those two?..."
The Wuli Royal Hotel is the tallest building in this town. It is only a five-minute walk from the center of the town. The hotel is located in an elegant environment surrounded by deciduous forests. The thick wooden building is modeled after the lord's residence in the Lowlands (located in southern Scotland, England) Even though houses are not allowed to build more than the third floor according to the law, this two-story building occupies a rather large area, with more than 200 rooms. Of course, all of them are full during the midsummer period, and the restaurant is also full, but now That's not the case this season, and it should improve once the International Theater Festival kicks off. Cousin Ryu ordered a seasonally limited "British home cooking set meal" in the restaurant's menu, and the special price for four people is three people. This is the benefit of the off-season travel. The appetizers are smoked salmon, creamy miscellaneous soup, and fish dishes called FishFingers (cylindrical croquettes of white meat fish). There is no problem here, but the taste of the main course duck with orange sauce is really bad, so the whole set meal It doesn't taste as good as you like.Just after drinking the milk tea after the meal, another group of guests who had just entered the door were led to the next seat, a total of three women.He continued to whisper to the other brothers: "That's Ninja Kodai, I've seen it on TV several times." An elegant woman about 60 years old, dressed in a fashionable dress, with a huge pearl brooch on her chest; the woman next to her left is probably a secretary, wearing glasses, about 40 years old; It is a woman about twenty-five years old, who should be her daughter.The beauty of this young woman is enough to amaze most men. There are many types of beauties. This beauty is very suitable for intellectual, avant-garde and modern adjectives. The black hair on the shawl is soft and shiny, and the embossed gems are in The chest of the Cashmere sweater dangled. The four brothers of the Longtang family have never been interested in admiring celebrities, and they have also used the after-dinner milk tea, so the four are ready to leave.The waiter delivered the menu and mineral water to the tables of the three female customers. At this time, the youngest woman among the three stood up, walked to the restaurant gate, and greeted Hajime who had just paid with a credit card. Not only Shi, but even his younger brothers looked at her in unison. "Mr. Ryodohashi, are you coming to dinner with your family?" The young beauty smiled, as charming as a blooming rose; Hajime only felt confused, and began to explore the impressions in memory, the beauty only deepened her smile, as if she was happy to see his doubts. "I'm Ninja Kokoyo's daughter, my name is Sabaoko, long time no see." "Really? Thank you for remembering." The initial reaction was really not calm, and he continued to ask: "Have we met there?" "Yes, at the campus fraternity last January." "Ah, that's it, I'm sorry I couldn't remember it for a while." Begin to feel ashamed.I remember that he was still a fourth-year student at Republic College in January last year. At that time, he had already decided to stay at his alma mater to take up a teaching position, and his graduation thesis was also handed in. In the following time, he participated in many campus sororities, and several of them were with Co-organized by Star Women's University.Without knowing how to respond, Hajime suddenly brought up an unreasonable topic. "I think you must respect Ling Tang very much." "...how do you say that?" "Because you introduced Lingtang's name first, and then you said your own name." Sabaoko suddenly showed embarrassment. "My mother is indeed a very influential figure, but that doesn't mean I respect her." "Really? Excuse me." At first, I felt very uncomfortable—I don’t want to chat with beautiful women, but it’s inconvenient to interrupt the conversation. It’s really indecent for a group of people to block the restaurant’s entrance, so the brothers first went outside the restaurant to wait for the elder brother. "Tell you a secret." Saboko's tone became lighter. "The Silver Moon King is the title of a stage play, and it is also the name of the protagonist." Seeing Hajime, he turned his head without saying a word.Sabaoko smiled and said, "Look, you are also very concerned, right? Many people are the same." "yes!" Hajime's tone gradually relaxed. "This play is not only the premiere in Japan, but also the world premiere. You must have heard of Nigel Chinpass, the ghost of the London music scene?" "The Queen of England once knighted him?" "Yes, Sir Nigel Chinpass, this is his latest work after six years of inactivity. The soundtrack, lyrics and script are all written by Sir Nigel." "awesome." Sincerely express my admiration. "That gentleman is indeed a ghost, but I heard that he is also a serious businessman, and has made several deals." Saboko responded with a mocking expression. "That's right, as long as he has money, he can talk about anything, and he is an easy partner for businessmen." It turns out that this is indeed not unreasonable. As a creator, asking for a reasonable price is also a different perspective. "So, it's Fayan Longyuan who paid the money?" "yes!" "I'm curious, how much did he pay?" "Twenty-five million dollars." "It's a number that makes people want to whistle." "It's money well spent to get Sir Nigel's music and world premiere rights." Hajime stared into the other's eyes and nodded in agreement. "It's true. Anyone who understands the value of art and creative activities is willing to give, but I didn't expect that Fayan Longyuan would do the same." "Maybe it's just your prejudice." "I don't think so, and if I'm biased, it's his own making." "If it is true as you said, then what is the motivation for him to decide to invest 25 million US dollars?" Hajime calmly brushed off the provocative question of the beautiful woman. "From your mother's standpoint as a writer, it doesn't matter what the sponsor's motives are. Excuse me." After paying tribute with his eyes, Hajime turned to the direction where his younger brothers were, feeling their eyes from behind. Walking into the cool night air from the entrance of the hotel, he continued to ask his elder brother, "What did you talk about with the beauty?" "That conversation is exhausting." With a wry smile on his face, he deliberately patted his right neck with his left hand. "I'm probably not suitable to be a cold-blooded detective. Continue. Next time I encounter this situation, I will leave it to you to handle it." "Yes, if given the opportunity." Four people walk under the half moon, the young group is in front, the senior group is behind, and two people in each group walk side by side.Less than 30 minutes away from the villas in the East District can be used to help digestion, and the four of them are carrying paper bags with the name of the hotel on them, which are the breakfast materials they bought in the hotel store just now. After the youth group walking in front took a peek behind them, the two began to whisper. "I think Sister Moli is much prettier than that girl just now." "I think so." The younger group of the Ryudo family are loyal knights of their cousin Mari Toba. On the one hand, they have known her since birth and have been taken care of by her until now. In short, if there is no Mari, the Ryudo family wants to maintain the protection guaranteed by the constitution "Healthy and tasteful life" is absolutely impossible.End and Yu keep this kindness in mind, and at the same time, they also regard the idea of "sooner or later" between Hajime and Moli as an established fact. Therefore, in their eyes, all women who are too close to Shiji are "enemies of the Longtang family." "!" It was 8:30 p.m. when we arrived at the villa. In the dark and silent forest, only the light of the night light at the entrance was a small warmth.But the room was completely cooled down, so the fire had to be endured in the cold until nine o'clock, when the firewood was piled in a cross shape, sprinkled with the usual alcohol, lit on rags and stuffed into the gaps between the firewood. Finally, I was able to stretch my body and mind in front of the beating golden fire. Continue to open the brochure of the International Theater Festival placed in the lobby of the hotel, and browse the limited records of Sir Nigel's latest works. "It seems that the Silver Moon King in the play has seven identities." "What identity?" Continue to read in sequence. "The plot sounds a bit clichéd, but this kind of arrangement will make the visual effect produce colorful changes, and the final true face is not clearly written." "This should be a question left on purpose, and it can become the selling point of the performance. In order to witness the true face of the Silver Moon King, thousands of people from all over the world will flock to the lake." "It will take a lot of effort to recover the cost of 25 million US dollars." "It doesn't matter if you can't recycle it." Hajime responded suspiciously to the continued words, and then suddenly realized. "Ah, you mean the tax system?" Suppose a company invests 25 million US dollars, but only obtains 5 million US dollars in profit, but causes a loss of 20 million US dollars. In this way, it does not need to pay taxes. "The affiliated companies called Fayan Longyuan are tax-saving masters. They have several trillion yen in revenue every year, but the tax they pay is almost equal to zero." Looking at the introduction brochure again, other performances do not give people such a mysterious impression-all you can see is the history of Shakespeare, Molière, Aristophanes, Garfalch, Gorky, Brecht, etc. There is nothing special about the works of well-known masters in the world. To put it bluntly, they lack new ideas. "And Tennessee Williams, even though he is an integral part of this kind of event, is not of interest to the general audience who is not familiar with the theater world. It seems that the most attention is only Silver Moon King." "It is said that during the International Theater Festival, the students of Tokiwa Academy will dress up as Silver Moon King and hold a bazaar." "Is it also a makeup conference? It will cost a lot of money." I always feel that everything that happened in Wuli Town is full of doubts-whether it is on the surface or secretly, it seems that they are all tied to the same thread, and the Tokiwa Academy of Stage Arts must be inseparable. "I heard that the students of Tokiwa Academy have always wanted to perform a large-scale stage play. They once considered Nagayo Zenro's 'Xiang Yu and Liu Bang', but they finally gave up for some reason. " "Is it because the stage props cost too much?" "This is also one of the reasons, but the most important thing is that they can't find anyone suitable to play Xiang Yu, but after seeing the big brother, they seem to be ready to move again." "Hey, hello!" Shi Shi is 188 cm tall, tall and well-proportioned, with a heroic look between his brows, and a temperament far beyond his age. If he is just based on his appearance, he is qualified to play Xiang Yu. "Where did you hear such a thing?" "Said by the girls at school." "When? Why don't I know?" "Just now, I was waiting in front of the hotel for three minutes to get a lot of news." Looking at his second brother's face, Shi Shi smiled bitterly and said: "I knew I should have asked you to deal with Ms. Sabaoko Ninja." At the end of the day, the four brothers of the Longtang family went to bed early to rest. Even though the heat from the stove floated up to the attic, it felt warm, but the heat could not last until late at night, and the electric blanket became the only reliance on heating. Hajime chose the bed closest to the stairs to lie down. According to his traditional thinking, as the head of the family, he must guard the entrance and exit to prevent enemy invasion. This is the concept that European knights have always inherited in the Middle Ages.In this way, the second son is naturally responsible for the defense on the other side, while the younger brother is protected by the parents, and the last bed is reserved for the third son.Such a seemingly reasonable arrangement has been decided from the very beginning, but the third man actually hopes to change beds with the eldest brother, so that not only can he fulfill his obligation to protect the younger brother, but also stay away from the nagging brothers, and if something happens, he You can also enter the ready state immediately.Although he raised this opinion more than once, every time the stubborn brothers answered: "No!" ...After entering the kingdom of dreams, the scope of action of the youngest Yu is far wider than that of the three elder brothers. Just as Yu pushed open the door leading to the dreamland and stepped on the floor of another world, under the reflection of the half moon, he could see something wriggling on the roof of the villa.
