Chapter 447: 446 people have lingering ghost stories
The Lyceum Theater is also one of the landmark buildings in New York, with a history of almost 100 years. The architectural style is the Beaux Arts style that was popular in the early 20th century, integrating ancient Greek and The neoclassical style of ancient Rome makes the entire theater look spectacular from the outside, and it often appears in various American dramas and movies.
The theater is not far from the hotel. The two of them put on casual clothes and arrived on foot, followed by the audience.
The staff guided the location, and Fang Minghua also received a booklet similar to the domestic "Friends".
Fang Minghua sat in his seat and flipped through some Broadway news, and of course the cast and crew of this show.
The appearance of the characters in this photo is really not good.
The Lyceum Theater has three tiers of seats, not many tiers, Fang Minghua and Emily’s seats. It's in the middle of the second floor, which is a relatively good location.
At eight o'clock sharp, the performance starts.
The song "ThinkofMe" at the beginning gave people goosebumps!
I have to admire it, this voice is indeed beautiful. No matter how much he jumps, runs, or falls on the stage, his voice is still full and full of explosive power.
In the second half, the pace quickens and becomes tense, adding elements such as horror, gunshots, and murder.
Holy shit
What a refreshing rhythm.
The emotional changes of "Phantom" in this scene are like a roller coaster. You can see in him his innocence, his heroism, his willingness to sacrifice for love, and finally letting go of his obsession for love.
Of course you can also say that he is a licker.
All the actors appeared one by one and bowed, and the audience stood up and applauded for a long time.
After the performance, Fang Minghua and Emily walked to the hotel together. The girl was very happy on the way and was still immersed in the performance.
"Minghua, I didn't expect the love story between a person and a ghost to be so touching."
"It's not a real ghost, Eric is just a person with a natural facial defect. "Fang Minghua corrected.
"Yes, yes, a ghost-like person." Emily said: "Music is reality, and the story is fiction. The interweaving becomes a mysterious classic, a transformed beauty."
< br>
"The transformed beauty does not belong to the real world. It may have to be hidden in a dark corner in order to be eternal. Just like the ring on the rose, only love can transcend identity, status, race, and class."
Seeing the girl like this, Fang Minghua's heart moved and he said: "Emily, you like love stories so much, then I will write you a love story, a love story about a man and a ghost falling in love?"
"Can humans and ghosts fall in love?"
"Didn't you just say that love can transcend identity, status, race, and class? I think it can also transcend species," Fang Minghua said with a smile.
Bah bah.
This is a little too evil.
"Is it a vampire? Like the novel "Interview with the Vampire" written by Chinese female writer Anne Rice? Vampires are a very hot topic in our country."
But Fang Minghua shook his head.
“Not a vampire, but a real ghost, just like Eric in The Phantom of the Opera. But Eric is actually a human being, but I am a ghost.”
“ Then write it quickly. I want to read it.”
"Okay, I'll write it after I return to China. I'll translate it into English and then send it to you."
"Okay, it's a deal! By the way, do you Chinese like to pull hooks? You want to say that? Hanging with a hook will not change for a hundred years?" After saying that, Emily held out her little finger and blinked.
Why are you still doing this for such a trivial matter?
However, Fang Minghua still stretched out his little finger.
This is a Chinese proverb in English. It feels weird no matter how you say it.
The two returned to the hotel and said good night to each other. Fang Minghua went back to his room and took a shower, thinking about what happened just now.
Fang Minghua is talking about a very famous love movie. "The Love of Ghosts"
"The young bank clerk Sam and his fiancée Mei Li are deeply in love. They are preparing for their marriage and have also moved into a house with the help of their friend Carl. In exchange for a beautiful apartment, one night when they returned from the theater, they were robbed by gangsters.
Sam was shot and killed during the fight, and Mei Li was heartbroken. A ghost.”
This movie was released in the early 1990s. It was a romance film directed by the famous American Jerry Zucker and starring Swayze, Moore and others. It won both box office and reputation, and won an Oscar and a Golden Globe Award. , British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards and many other awards.
Among them, it was nominated for five Oscars, including original screenplay and best supporting actress.
From this aspect, we can tell how good this story is.
The box office is even more impressive, with a total global box office of more than 500 million US dollars!
This movie is one of Fang Minghua’s favorite movies. Before I came to this era, I watched several of them and secretly shed shameful tears.
Of course the theme song "UnchainedMelody" is also great.
Written as a novel and a script, I guess I can make a small fortune
No rush, let’s talk about it when we get back.
Fang Minghua hummed softly while taking a bath.
Oh, mylove, mydarling
Oh my love, my love
I'vehungeredforyourtouch
I long for your touch
Along, lonelytime
Long lonely time
After getting up the next morning and washing up, Fang Minghua went to the restaurant on the third floor to have breakfast. When he took the elevator into the restaurant, he saw Emily and Evans chatting while eating.
Evans has been accompanying us these past few days, and everyone has become familiar with each other.
A middle-aged man who speaks very humorously.
Fang Minghua sat in front of the two of them, ordered an egg, sandwich and milk, and started chatting while eating.
"Minghua, I just told Mr. Evans that you have a great novel idea." Emily said.
"I heard from Emily that it was about a man and a ghost falling in love?" Evans also asked.
Fang Minghua did not deny it, but said very humbly that he was inspired by "The Phantom of the Opera" he watched last night, but the idea was not yet mature.
"Mr. Minghua, the core elements of this story alone: people, ghosts, and love, are very eye-catching in themselves." Evans immediately analyzed it for him.
“Coupled with your unparalleled writing ability and your high popularity in our country, this novel will definitely be popular among readers!”
Unparalleled writing ability?
It’s so photogenic
“Mr. Minghua, I hope to see your novel as soon as possible. Please contact our company as soon as possible after writing it.” Evans looked solemn.
Fang Minghua nodded.
Simon Book Publishing Company is pretty good.
A few people chatted for a while, and then talked about the book signing event in the afternoon.
"Emily said she wants to be your assistant." Evans said.
Fang Minghua glanced at Emily next to him and joked: "Emily, you are a popular best-selling author. Isn't it too unfair to be my assistant?"
"No, no, I'm happy to. It's my honor to serve you." After saying that, Emily winked playfully.
