I really don't want to fight with gods

Chapter 725
What a thief Jing Xiaoqiang is.

He took the lead in fixing "The Great Gatsby" into a two-act play, that is, roughly only two stage scenes were used.

For a novella, this is highly condensed, condensed to two acts and ten scenes.

There is a saying in the world of literature, film and television, and drama that it is easy to write long, even if you don’t add water, all kinds of gorgeous rhetoric and delicate descriptions can easily make the scene bigger and longer.

It is best to write short.

It is the most difficult thing to write about the joys and sorrows, the vicissitudes of the world, within a square inch.

And the super super difficult thing is the abbreviation of the famous book adaptation.

There are a thousand Hamlets in the minds of a thousand people, and people who have read the book will have their own thoughts and feelings.

If the script is slightly wrong, it will be sprayed to pieces.

Here you can find out the various versions of Jin Yong's novels adapted from film and television dramas.

It is easy to change dozens of episodes of TV series, but it is extremely difficult to change movies.

Jing Xiaoqiang quickly finalized the whole framework, with four scenes in the first act and six scenes in the second act, each about what they are about, and dozens of words can explain it.

This outline can be finished in half an hour for him.

No need to read the original.

Then I used the original book to recall familiar scenes, and wrote the script in detail for the part where the most classic male protagonist and the protagonist Gatsby are at the grand reception together.

From the dialogue to the emotional expression of the characters, the composition of the surrounding characters.

It took about two hours.

I just showed it to Jefferson, and the drama critics were amazed. I got off the boat. I will not follow your big ship. I will stand by the pier and sing your praises!
So he already revealed this matter in his own column in the Xinxiang Times, and he lamented the artistic acumen of this magical Chinese boy.

Now that Jing Xiaoqiang submitted the outline to the Metropolitan Opera House, this side has to pay attention to it!
Such an exquisite and atmospheric outline, such a partial trial reading of such complete details!
Do you want?
If not, with Robert's current reputation and his connections in the industry on Broadway for his third play, it doesn't take much time. It is estimated that this play will be released for public performance, and it will hit the Metropolitan Opera s face.

This is still a trivial matter. If this play is taken by a major opera house, the premiere, exclusive performance, and long-term signing of the copyright, it may even shake the status of the Metropolitan Opera House in Wave Bay of opera houses all over the world.

Because of this kind of remarks, the top ten top opera houses in Europe and the United States are scrambling to hit new plays, sign top IPs, and artists have never stopped.

When any new opera house opens, it is promoted to be comparable to Lincoln Center and surpass the Metropolitan Opera House.

How can it be so good to be the big brother who takes the lead.

The status of the original novel itself + Jing Xiaoqiang's reputation + the high standard of the script presented so far.

Even if you are tossing about high-level substitutions, you must hold it tightly in your hands!

But the first thing Jing Xiaoqiang saw was Steven, and Alex brought his son who was in high school.

A tall and thin white guy, but a little dull.

Jing Xiaoqiang vaccinated Pan Yunyan in advance: "It seems to be a little dyslexia and aphasia, and it must be a little social fear. Don't scare people with social cows... Hello, my dear friend!"

He has warmly greeted and hugged the conductor and his son.

In fact, Jing Xiaoqiang has never seen this unlucky child, but he has heard that Alex misses it countless times. Wen felt left out.

Steven also hugged the big star with a smile, his eyes were bright, but he didn't speak.

Pan Yunyan sneered at the back, why is my social arrogance compared to yours, okay?

But she still hurried to take pictures, she didn't think of it last time.

Now Jing Xiaoqiang and the high-level exchange photos of the Metropolitan Opera House, Lincoln Center and other music temples, take them back and put them on the music newspaper, our family is the glory of the ancestors!
Naturally, Jing Xiaoqiang wants to pull Jefferson together again, and try his best to promote the status of this drama critic as high as possible. Just like what he expressed to Miyamoto, this is the highest state of mutual benefit.

I help you achieve your career achievements, and by the way, please flatter me, what's wrong with leaning towards me.

The members of Citigroup basically come here in this way. They don't look at the performance ability of the governing party, but at the approval rate.

Then today I will not go to the crowded city. I used the singing and dancing actors here to discuss and rehearse the details of Gatsby's play and Jing Xiaoqiang's "spark of inspiration" for the repertoire in the play.

Entering the turn of the century, Lincoln Center, which is constantly challenged by new opera houses and concert halls around the world, launched a series of grand plans for artistic creation.

Among them, the launch of the three new operas is the top priority.

And the first hit is Gatsby, Jing Xiaoqiang seemingly casually played a few motivational melodies on the electric piano, even a big expert like Alex is full of shit!
That's it!

In operas and musicals, the most important thing is not the plot, but the music and arias inside.

In the previous life, Lincoln Center spent huge sums of money and assembled a large number of top playwrights and musicians in Xinxiang. After several years of painstaking efforts, it was considered that the whole play was finished.

Now Jing Xiaoqiang seems to be playing a jigsaw puzzle, a super jigsaw puzzle with tens of thousands of pieces, he puts together a few pieces here and there to see the most exciting appearance.

Seductive!
"At this time, Gatsby walked into the banquet hall, saw his first love, recalled their previous love, and vowed to win her back! Ah, ah..."

In fact, Jing Xiaoqiang can complete the lyrics and arias, but that is too shocking.

He pretended to be looking for a feeling, chanted in monosyllables, sang while playing while shaking his head, exaggerated and violent expression, and vigorously shaking the airplane head, which was definitely more artificial than that of Master Lang playing the piano later.

But it was precisely this madness of the artist that infected everyone present.

Hei Zai and Mi Gao leaned against the door, trying their best to experience this higher level of classical school skills other than pop music.

In this area, even Mi Gao was not accepted.

Sakai and Tianhai were full of admiration, and Miyamoto thought deeply.

It was still only Du Ruolan and Pan Yunyan, and it was not surprising that they saw a lot of these things in their own house. One was busy observing the audience, thinking about serving tea and water, and thinking about eating and drinking at noon later, while the other was busy taking pictures.

On the contrary, it was Sudou Saki who jumped out of her office car in surprise, disheveled and disheveled, with a pen still in her ear.

For a Chinese woman who is impolite to go out without makeup, it is the instinct of the musical family that overrides etiquette.

So surprised!

Even without the lyrics, Alex and the others can still feel the surging momentum!
The impoverished diaosi finally made a fortune, and seeing the first love he never forgets, even if the other party is married, he would not hesitate to snatch it back.

A top composer can only hold the title of playwright by relying on his musical talent. With a strong enough musical talent, he can be regarded as a top playwright for any plot he writes.

This has been proven in history.

But such a person may play the piano well, and it is definitely difficult to be a top singer.

If a person can occupy one of these things in his whole life, he must have no worries about eating and drinking.

Jing Xiaoqiang is omnipotent!
Yes, I am a decathlete.

If I'm not afraid to scare you, I can also sing the lyrics now, and then express the stage setting and the performance skills of the actors.

I will!
This is the play that Antonio misses the most, and it is far more profound than all the others!
Hei Zai couldn't help sharing with Mi Gao in a low voice, why Jing Xiaoqiang always finds a pen to write songs without changing them, or even doesn't write at all, just takes the guitar and starts singing, Bands are used to this innovative pattern of chord structures following along.

It turned out to be too simple.

For three to five minutes of pop song creation, he often scratches his head to find inspiration, pondering the melody and words for a long time.

But looking at Jing Xiaoqiang's style of creating such a large-scale opera, a song must be subordinate to the plot, the singing must conform to the character of the character, and the entire aria must be subordinate to the entire repertoire structure.

The degree of complexity is how many times the geometric number is magnified.

But if you look at him, at most he just sings while thinking, humming and then creating.

Mi Gao is known for his quick wit and talent for writing songs similar to seven-step poetry writing, which makes his face twitch now.

I feel that Jing Xiaoqiang can write a song with every step, and even lift his heel to write a song...

Perhaps only Wang Feng, who can hold back two songs with a big poop, can compare.

But Wang Feng himself knows that he may only produce one classic after a thousand songs.

Jing Xiaoqiang has taken root here!
After singing this part, Alex and the others couldn't help applauding enthusiastically!
At the beginning, it was agreed that the Metropolitan Opera House would acquire the right to adapt the original work, and then the Metropolitan Opera House would come forward to organize the entire script adaptation team to assist Jing Xiaoqiang in the creation.

Because Jing Xiaoqiang revealed some of his "ideas" that time.

Now it looks like, help the fart, don't come here to distract the creative ability of genius.

Officially signed.

Citi Salary Township Lincoln Cultural Center officially signed a contract with Mr. Robert for this key play that must become a masterpiece, as a tribute to the new century.

European and American countries also need to engage in gift projects.

Always immersed in commercial performances to make money, it is easy to be robbed of the high status of art by other peers.

The classical music world relies on compulsion.

So Saki Sudou rushed back to the car to prepare the contract text, and when she was wearing makeup and deformed, the current executive director of Lincoln Center asked very politely: "Then Mr. Robert, how long will it take to complete the creation of this play?"

Jing Xiaoqiang must make a decision at this time: "This is a big project..."

The implication must be: more money, more money!
