It’s What’s on the Inside That Counts up to 1000 Episodes

    In the new week, Lina secretly observes Marina's situation while thinking about how to help her.

    Although they didn't get along for a long time, Lina still likes Marina very much. This little girl is only fifteen years old, but she always thinks of herself as a big sister, reminding her to eat and study, and take care of herself. dessert.

    It would be great if I could help her.

    Stalked Marina for several days, Lina found that although Marina was still considerate in the dormitory, she was always in a daze when she was alone, and sometimes even cried.

    Is the situation changed?

    Lina endured for two days, but in the end she couldn't hold back, and when Marina was crying secretly, she emerged from the bushes behind her.

    "Marina!"

    Marina, who was weeping secretly, was startled by the voice behind her, she turned her head and saw Lena emerging from the bushes: "Lina? Why are you here?"

    "I want to apologize to you," Lena jumped out of the manicured bushes, shaking the leaves on her body, "I went to see your troupe's opera on Sunday."

    Marina was stunned and smiled bitterly: "Did you go... Alas, I didn't want you to know."

    Lina sat down next to Marina and held Marina's hand.

    No matter how mature and gentle she is, Marina is only a fifteen-year-old girl, and she tells the story of her family intermittently.

    When she was very young, the Fernanda Coliseum was also a famous theater for Colony, and every performance was packed.

    But over time, old scripts have become obsolete, and newly written scripts are not popular.

    The revenue is getting lower and lower, the departure of the pillar, the new coloratura soprano can not support the overall situation, the revenue is getting worse and worse, under this cycle, the Fernanda Theater has reached bankruptcy edge.

    "Just after the show on Sunday, our last soprano is leaving... Dad said, the theater will be sold soon." Marina sobbed, "I've been in Growing up in the theater, the theater is my home, and I really don’t want to leave there.”

    "Do you have to sell it? Is there any other way? For example, innovate the script or something?"

    "Actually, this is not the difficulty." Marina smiled bitterly, "A good script is really hard to come by."

    Lena: "Uh..."

    There are some things she really can't say to her friends - she feels that even a child will not write a script more **** than "Mother's Love".

    "Don't worry about my feelings, it's very bad, right?" Marina smiled self-deprecatingly, "There are a lot of broken parts."

    Lena: Is that the point?

    "Are you serious?" Lena was shocked, unable to control her mouth, "Do you really think the script is okay?"

    "Script? Is there anything wrong with this?" Marina was puzzled.

    "Do you really like this type of opera?" Lena was puzzled.

    Before she came to the capital, she was the eldest daughter who was neglected, and the space for activities was almost only between the bedroom and the school, not to mention watching operas, and not even showing up at the banquets held at home.

    But no matter what, there should be no difference in what humans like, right? Does anyone really like this kind of opera?

    "This type?" Marina was stunned for a moment, then looked around nervously, and when she found that there was no one around, she lowered her voice, "Lina, just say it in front of me. Now, don't tell anyone that."

    "How can you tell me why? I won't tell anyone else." Lina lowered her voice in cooperation and made a gesture of listening to the secret.

    Marina hesitated for a while before answering in a low voice: "Your Majesty likes philosophy, because Your Majesty likes philosophy, and all theaters want to perform operas that can impress His Majesty, so these plays are created."

    Lena: "…"

    This is it, this is it?

    Lankesuri was mysterious that day, she was still thinking about the terrible reason, was it because the emperor liked it?

    "But," Lena still couldn't understand, "Does all operas have to be about philosophical themes? Can't there be other themes?"

    "You don't understand, Lina." Marina replied bitterly, "The admission fee for an opera is five silver coins, and the only people who can afford it are nobles and wealthy businessmen. Hobbies are hobbies, wealthy businessmen are hobbies of nobles, and no one will listen to scripts other than philosophy.”

    So it is, Lina thought, this is the real version of 'The king of Chu is so slender, and the maids starve to death'.

    Generally speaking, while the philosophical plays are popular because of Wang's preference, those other plays should not disappear.

    But now the entire royal capital has reached the point where no one appreciates non-philosophical scripts... What a majestic emperor he must be.

    There is no way to associate this stern king with the gentle and courteous Frank Sulli.

    "That is, it's not that you can't write other scripts, it's just that you don't have an audience, right?"

    "Yes."

    "Then I understand," Lina blurted out with a flash of light in her mind, "Come and play your favorite opera!"

    "Huh?" Marina blinked, not understanding what Lena likes.

    "I will write the script, and you will act." Lina is very confident, she believes that with her computer, she will be able to find a suitable script for Marina, "To play the opera that the masses like. Well, since there are no nobles and wealthy businessmen who like it, let's lower the ticket price and let other people in this royal city come to see our opera."

    "This, how is this possible!" Marina stood up, "This is too exaggerated, this is completely impossible! This has never happened!"

    "Why not?" Lina stared at Marina without blinking, and asked, "Is there a law against it?"

    Marina retorted emotionally: "Lina, you may have never met those people. Ordinary people are illiterate, and they don't know how to appreciate art. How can they like opera? I don't know what an opera is!"

    When Marina finished speaking, Lina replied: "Why do you think so? Are they different from us? They are also human beings, and their pursuit of happiness is no different."

    "I heard that your ancestors were also civilians and became nobles by virtue of their singing voice... So what is the essential difference between you and others?"

    Marina couldn't refute this sentence, she stayed for a while, then asked with a wry smile: "Yes, that's true, even I don't have a title now...Lina, why do you think like this, Aren't you a nobleman?"

    "Huh?" Lena gave a thumbs up, "Because I believe in Marx! Internacion will make it happen!"

    "Marx?" Marina was puzzled.

    This is too complicated to explain, Lina immediately changed the subject: "Leave this aside, what do you think of my method?"

    "You persuaded me." Marina smiled bitterly, "But you can't persuade my father and grandpa, they will never allow this kind of thing to happen."

    "This is indeed a difficult problem." Lina thought for a while, and came up with a dark way of thinking, "If you can't be convinced no matter what...let's just say, it's our club activities."

    "Huh?"

    "There are various clubs in the academy, and there are also opera clubs, right? Let's pretend that this is a requirement for club activities, and we need to borrow your theater. How about performing there?"

    "This method is fine, my grandfather and father are very supportive of my studies." Marina nodded, but asked a new question, "But what about singers? I can sing some, but I've never been good at singing coloratura."

    "Also, if it is a club activity, we must cast all the actors. Where can we find the right person?"

    "We can also help~" a voice came from the tree above the two of them.

    Lucia jumped down from the tree carrying Rowling, and patted her clothes casually: "I'm sorry, Marina, I followed you too."

    "It's because you look troubled these days." Rowling added, "We're all worried about you."

    Marina was startled first, then showed a moved expression: "Thank you... I'm sorry, I made you worry."

    "It's nothing, let's talk about the opera." Lucia was very curious, "I don't like listening to those dawdling operas at all, but Lena, you said that ordinary people can also What is your favorite opera like?"

    Hearing this sentence, Marina looked over, facing three pairs of curious eyes, Lina fell into contemplation.

    What is the opera that ordinary people like?

    Lina thought about it, and finally a flash of light came to her mind, and she thought of a name that even her layman had heard - "The Phantom of the Opera".

    Since it is so famous, it means that this is an opera that meets the preferences of the people!

    The most important thing is to go and see what "The Phantom of the Opera" has to say.

    In the afternoon class, Lena didn't continue to watch the movie at all, but seriously turned out the opera of "The Phantom of the Opera" and began to watch it.

    But to be honest, Lena felt that she probably couldn't appreciate the beauty of the opera. She tried hard to prevent herself from falling asleep, but her heart was already flying.

    Lina was falling asleep watching here, but Lankesuri was enjoying it.

    He didn't expect that there was such a beautiful opera at Lena!

    The gorgeous vocals, the amazing costume design, and the lighting just right...it's perfect!

    The plot of the story is also just right, with ups and downs, it is impossible to extricate oneself.

    When she saw that Christina rejected the Phantom and chose Raoul, Lankesuri couldn't help but scolded Christina for her superficiality! vulgar! Cool!

    [Wow, it's almost over, I can't take it anymore. 】

    Hearing Lena's words from such a layman, Lankesuri would like to teach Lena a hundred opera appreciation lessons!

      】

    Lankeshulli: Oh, that's fine.
