Chapter 33 A Different Stage Play
As the plot continues to advance on the stage, the protagonist's life is presented in front of all audiences.

It's just that the way of expression is completely different from other stage plays.

This perspective relationship between the near, the big, and the far, has been running through the entire stage performance, that is to say, the audience always observes everything that happens in front of them from the No.1 perspective.

From the beginning to the end, the performers on the stage were only Zhang Yiyang and Zhou Yuping.Moreover, the father played by Zhang Yiyang is still relatively inclined to the role of a tool man. In many cases, it is just a background board, and Zhou Yuping is the only one who is really performing.

She will follow the script and the light effect prompts on the stage, walk to a specific stage position at a specific time, integrate into the perspective relationship of the stage, make specific actions, speak specific lines, and promote the advancement of the plot.

Of course, it is impossible for the protagonist to remember the mother alone, there will be other friends, teachers, and big scenes like the school sports meeting.

But these are all displayed with blurred virtual images. As for the content of the virtual images, of course, Lu Zhixing prepared the materials and resources in advance, pre-recorded them and played them with holographic projection.

This can also be explained in terms of settings: because this is the memory of the protagonist and the mother, only the mother is clear in the field of vision, and the other classmates and teachers are just blurred images.

Along with the angel's narration, the picture is constantly changing.

From the scene at home, to the scene of taking the bus to the city to learn painting and piano, to the scene of playing on the playground, and then to the scene of waiting for my mother to pick me up from school at the door of the small shop...

The existence time of each scene is not very long, as short as 1 minute, it is just a simple dynamic cycle scene; as long as 3 to [-] minutes, it may show a simple event based on the dynamic cycle scene.

For example, on the playground, a child in the distance accidentally kicked the ball over, and it happened to land at the protagonist's feet.He looked at his mother in the distance, and with his mother's encouragement, he went to play with other children on the playground.

There are longer ones, which may last several minutes, but this kind of event is generally not a simple event, but more like an interactive game scene.

For example, when playing the piano, the No.1 perspective of the holographic projection will be used to show the picture of playing the piano at close range, and the audience can't help but move their eyes following the hand movements of the protagonist playing the piano.

Professor He Cheng in the audience can tell at a glance that this is obviously a special form of expression unique to interactive movie games.

Interactive movie games emphasize the player's sense of immersion in the plot, so the player will be asked to perform some operations similar to the protagonist's actions in the game.

But this is a stage play after all, and there are audiences in the audience, so it is impossible to make a unified operation, but Lu Zhixing also incorporates similar forms of expression into it.

The holographic projection changes on the stage are used to guide the audience's sight, thus creating an illusion of "I seem to control the picture to a certain extent" for them.

Just like in some 2D side-scrolling multiplayer games, many people often mistake their characters because when they press the "jump" button, another player's character also presses the "jump" button. " button, the player will mistakenly think that another character is himself.

Another example is in some highly immersive videos or game videos, in which the characters are holding their breath for diving, and the audience in front of the screen will also hold their breath subconsciously. At this time, there will be a bullet screen prompt: "Friendly reminder: You in front of the screen can breathe. "

These are all examples of creating a sense of immersion through the illusion of the screen and affecting the behavior of the audience.

The effect on the stage at this time is similar.

For example, in the scene where the protagonist is playing the piano, Zhou Yuping will give a reminder at the right time: "The next part is the climax of the song, pay attention to your right hand!"

At this time, the audience will subconsciously look towards the right hand on the stage, and the holographic projection screen on the stage will automatically deflect to the right hand.

Or Zhou Yuping would say: "Pay attention to posture, sit upright!"

The audience will raise their heads slightly subconsciously, and the perspective on the stage will also be slightly adjusted accordingly.

When painting, the viewer's line of sight is also guided, moving from the distant material to the canvas to draw a specific image.

Although due to the limitation of the perspective relationship, the range of this adjustment is very small, but even a little small movement can greatly enhance the audience's sense of substitution and immersion.

The gazes of all the audience in the audience were ruthlessly controlled, looking to one side in unison, and then to that side in unison.

This is quite incredible for stage plays, because traditional stage plays are all third-person perspectives. No matter how you guide them, most of the audience's sights are scattered and unfocused.

It is impossible to achieve the immersion of this No.1 perspective.

Professor He Cheng couldn't help but admire: "Wonderful!"

He can even directly imagine what it would be like to move this scene into the game, and it will definitely be very fun.

But on the other hand, using interactive movie games to present stage plays also shows that Lu Zhixing has unrestrained imagination and extremely exaggerated execution ability.

To achieve this effect, each scene is carefully choreographed.

Every time the scene is switched, Zhou Yuping will appear in some specific positions on the stage. For example, in the scene at home, she will cook in the distant kitchen; in the scene of playing the piano, she will stand in a certain position in the distance Make actions to cheer and encourage the protagonist.

In addition, she will also interact with the protagonist's perspective, or make encouraging actions, or say a few simple lines.

These contents have no funny baggage, and there are no fierce plot conflicts, just flat, showing the daily life of an ordinary person from childhood to adulthood.

However, this novel form and the plot that is very close to the lives of ordinary people still make all the audience engrossed.

Through the transformation of these scenes and the angel's narration, the audience gradually pieced together the story that the protagonist told the angel about how he spent his life with his mother:

Although his family conditions are not very good, he has been very sensible since he was a child, and he listened to his mother very much. Knowing that the family was struggling, he studied painting and piano seriously, and he also took the initiative to avoid small shops and not buy any snacks.

It's a pity that he has no talent, so he gave up painting and piano, but he fell in love with running after a fall. In this way, he kept running, running faster and faster, became an athlete, broke records, and won gold medals , participated in the Olympic Games and organized a charity run.

Until his mother passed away peacefully on the hospital bed, telling him that he had no regrets in this life.

After saying goodbye to his mother, the curtain slowly closed, and the angel reappeared in the projection screen.

He applauded slowly: "Ah, what a touching story. A kind and gentle mother, a sensible and lovely child, an athlete lived a very meaningful and extraordinary life.

"But why do I always feel like something is wrong?
"Well, let me think about it, there seems to be some details that are not right. Why does the height of the perspective remain the same when you grow up? It seems to even become a little lower.

"Why did the mother you saw in your memory become more and more distant and blurred after you fell down and lay on the hospital bed?

"Son, don't lie in front of the angels. As I said, your mother is a kind, pious, and beautiful person, but only after I get a definite answer from you can I be sure whether she can enter heaven or not.

"You don't need to explain anything to me. I have seen many situations like yours. You are in a dream now, just a pure consciousness, and your dream may be affected by many things, such as your obsession, your annoyance...

"Okay, let's get those distractions out of the way and do it again. Remember, I want to see genuine affection between you, but only if it's real.

"Are you ready? If you are, just look at my hand, let's... do it again."

The angel raised his hand again towards the center of the curtain, and the stage curtain slowly opened.

It is still the scenes that appeared before, the interior of the old-fashioned apartment building, the scene of taking the bus to the city to learn painting and piano, the scene of playing on the playground, the scene of waiting for the mother to pick me up from school at the door of the small shop... …

However, this time, the same scene has a completely different plot trend.

In the scene at home, he didn't play quietly by himself, but kept crying to attract his mother's attention; he didn't study piano and painting seriously, and he was always half-hearted; People are in the playground and don't want to play with other children.

While waiting for his mother to pick him up at the small store, he was very greedy looking at the spicy noodles in the store, but he had no pocket money.At this time, he saw that other children took food and left without paying, so he went up to ask curiously.

"You can pay on credit, but you don't need to pay for credit."

"Credit?"

At that time, he was obviously too young to understand what these two words meant. Can you eat spicy strips without paying?
He asked the boss with the mentality of giving it a try, but he didn't expect the boss to actually hand it to him.He happily finished eating the spicy sticks, and waited for his mother to pick them up. It was like this until the third day. The owner of the small shop was upset and held him until his mother came to give him the money.

At that time, he realized that the original meaning of credit account was not that there was no need to pay money, but that money would be paid later.

Although his mother just smiled and said nothing, but since then he has never been to any small store, and when he saw it, he stayed away.

After that accidental fall, he spent a long time in the hospital, and after that, he was in a wheelchair.

At this time, many viewers suddenly realized: Why did they feel weird when watching those running scenes before?

Because those viewing angles are significantly lower than normal viewing angles.That's not the perspective of an adult running, it's the perspective of a wheelchair.

Because the protagonist in the play has been in a wheelchair since he was very young, he has never experienced the perspective of a normal person running. Those scenes were all imagined when he saw the playground while sitting in a wheelchair.
