Yamaishi

Li Fangqian entered the theater for the first time.In fact, he doesn't know anything about lines, stage design, and performance.

But Shen Zhuoqing's joyful expression just now was like a deer knocking open the door, rushing towards his face with the fragrance of the forest, which also made Li Fangqian look forward to the stage.

Announcement, black light, pull the curtain, happy.

The stage is very suitable for the occasion. It is the snowfall and buildings imagined by Li Fangqian just now.A tall and agile actor, wearing a red dress, fan socks, and high heels, twirled and jumped on the balcony.With drums in hand to accompany the singing, a drag queen named Angel meets a down-and-out man named Collins on the street.

The name of the play was "Rent", which was translated into "Renting a Lucky House" in the later tour.The story takes place in small rental apartments and bars, with quick transitions and many arias.But Li Fangqian understands that this is the story of three lovers. They are bruised and terminally ill, and they are spending Christmas Eve without heating, electricity, rent, and relying on candles for warmth.

Angel is dancing.He said I was more womanly than any woman and more manly than any man you ever met.He and Collins are kissing passionately on stage.

The following very rebellious rock and roll made Li Fangqian remember it for a long time: the protagonists said respect freedom, ecstasy, taboo, homosexuality, any sexuality and other outrageous words, but lived a life that was born to death and was short-lived.

And at the end of the story, the drifters choose to return to their lovers, the quarreling couples get closer and closer between love and hate, and the Angel who loves to wear red dresses, after melting others with love, leaves in white out of this world.

There was no sound from the four seats, only the sound of deep and rapid breathing could be heard.The raging fire in his eyes dimmed as the angel left.

Pull the curtain, black light, curtain call, end.

Until all the people in the theater had left, Shen Zhuoqing still sat blankly, tears streaming down his face.

"The author of this play is called Jonathan Larson." After some time, Shen Zhuoqing came out of the play and said with a sigh.

Li Fangqian handed over the handkerchief, seeing that Shen Zhuoqing didn't respond at all, he reached out to wipe his cheeks clean.Shen Zhuoqing pretended to be nothing, and continued to speak intermittently:

"His best friend was gay, and he watched three or four of his close friends die of AIDS. The public opinion at the time about this kind of thing...you know. We're pretty much the same—maybe more very."

"But when he participated in the patient's sharing party, some patients easily told him that he had two years left."

"Death is not terrible at all. What is terrible is that the world cannot give dignity to them who are going to death!"

"Larson spent seven years adapting this play, rock, jazz, tango! Class, sexuality, discrimination... When it was performed at the beginning of last year, teacher Zheng Qinyi said that this is a revolution in stage play."

"But Larson...he didn't even live to see Rent's official performance the next day."*[1]

Shen Zhuoqing choked up suddenly as he spoke, and buried himself on Li Fangqian's shoulder like a child.Li Fangqian had never seen Shen Zhuoqing cry like this, not when he was running for life, not when he was hurt by the scene, but for a deceased playwright he had never met, he cried endlessly.

Li Fangqian has the ability to empathize. When "Farewell My Concubine" was first played, the ill-fated resentful spouse and the helpless and clumsy Qing suddenly appeared in front of him. For some reason, he couldn't stop feeling sad and worried.

He can also empathize with the satisfaction and happiness of having a lover by his side when the same-sex lover kisses on stage.Gender, status, and public opinion are all on the sidelines. A person who grew up in a closed traditional education wants to respect the sound of stirring iced tea with those homosexuals.

But at this time, looking at Shen Zhuoqing, Li Fangqian didn't know whether the feelings at this moment could be called empathy.Not only to understand him and tolerate his sudden sensibility, but also to understand his sorrows and joys, his love, and his past through foggy eyes.

Li Fangqian patted his head lightly, without saying a word, until the theater staff came in to call for him, and then asked calmly:

"Want a drink? NoDaybutToday."*[2]

This point is when the midnight scene reaches its climax.

The people on the dance floor were almost stuck together, twisting their waists wildly.On the stage is a gigolo in sexy clothes, taking off his jacket provocatively, while posing enthusiastically.

The background music was very loud, and Shen Zhuoqing's feelings of hurting the spring and autumn were instantly shaken out of the sky by the strong drumbeat.

"It's really not like a place you can find." Shen Zhuo shouted loudly in Li Fangqian's ear.

Li Fangqian shook his head helplessly, saying that the roommate who was a Quentin fan often mentioned it, and there is also a bar with the same name in the Bay Area.

They were squeezed to the edge of the stage by the rhythmic crowd, the gigolo hooked his heavy and clear chin frivolously, the excited crowd was instantly ignited, and a group of men in strange costumes surrounded them and whistled at them.

Shen Zhuoqing felt that something was pushing him behind him, he turned his head and almost bumped into the tall white man.The man's eyes were blurred, and his hands were placed underneath and moved back and forth.

Li Fangqian pulled Shen Zhuoqing away and forced the crowd away.

Vulgar slang was ringing in my ears, and countless men kissed another man.

Someone cheered their clasped hands flirtatiously and asked if they would join them.

Two men pushed into the corner, the darkness filled with the smell of hormones.

Li Fang has the potential to empathize with those poignant stories on the screen and on the stage, but the straightforward scene in front of him really shocked him.In the scenes of heated and crazy restricted levels, he dragged Shen Zhuoqing to the exit with difficulty.

After stepping on so many people and apologizing so many times, they finally left the bar.

But Shen Zhuoqing, who was also stunned, seemed to see a broken thread, and overwhelming images flooded him: Li Fangqian jokingly gestured to register his name during the bedroom check, Li Fangqian's inexplicable fear in the auditorium, Li Fangqian's eyelashes in the warehouse Reflection, Li Fangqian's exaggerated imitation when buying glasses, Li Fangqian's stiff legs when getting off the plane...

These images are mixed with the kissing men in the bar, and Angel's tambourine and Cheng Dieyi's long sword pop out from time to time.

Sometimes it is hot summer, and sometimes it is cold winter, but in every picture, there is a pair of eyes hiding behind the lens.

"Li Fangqian..." Shen Zhuoqing touched his wrist and unconsciously called out his name.

"Huh?" Li Fangqian gasped, straightened his crumpled clothes, and when he heard someone calling him, he looked at Shen Zhuoqing in surprise, "Why?"

Shen Zhuoqing shook his head and walked straight forward.

How can this be explained?On a night that usually featured a lot of drama, his instinct for exaggerated emotional ups and downs?

And after seeing the crazy and fiery love, he suddenly thought of the years with Li Fangqian?

Shen Zhuoqing stopped and stared blankly at his wrist.

The place where it was held was burning hot.

Shen Zhuoqing on Christmas Eve is too unlike Shen Zhuoqing, at least he thinks so.Neurotics generally experience emotional ups and downs, and he decided to use the excess emotion to complete Professor Ryan's Final.

Those naked, straightforward, and passionate sexual tensions that he saw in the bar were written into the script by him.

The protagonists of the script are a gigolo with many thoughts and a warm and innocent boy.The teenager fell in love with the dancer on the stage at first sight in the nightclub, tolerated and followed him all the way, and finally melted the nightclub man who was looking forward and backward.The whole script is strung together with twenty love letters. *[3]

To be honest, if he was not in Southern California and had experienced Christmas Eve, Shen Zhuoqing would definitely not dare to try this kind of theme.

He even found many movies and books about same-sex themes to study.At the beginning, I just watched well-known and award-winning works, as if rebellious, and then found many discs with no plot, but with a large size/scale, and secretly watched them with curiosity and shame.

It's a beautiful name, in order to get closer to the world of the characters in the play.

When he picked up the pen, it didn't look like he was writing a story, but the character came alive, holding his pen and writing down.The charming body in those videos was replaced by a very familiar face, jumping onto the paper and smiling at him.

It is about idiotic courtship, embracing each other across the world, even death cannot separate them.

But for some reason, I was writing about a boy on a bicycle, but my eyes were full of memories of the school gate in September.The translucent picture lay in front of the paper, and Shen Zhuoqing replaced the camphor in his eyes with pines and cypresses.The seasons change, and the pen keeps writing.

The movie line in my mind was broken again, the dormitory, computer room, auditorium, cafeteria, N University... Li Fangqian...

Before he knew it, the pen ran out of ink, and the sudden resistance brought Shen Zhuoqing back to his senses.He stroked it a few times, and after confirming that there was no more ink coming out, he threw the pen aside irritably.

On the paper, it just stopped at the last few words he wrote.Describe a persistent and kind boy:

"Lang Yan is unique, there is no other in the world."

F***k! ! !How can this be translated!

The author says:

[1] is the lyrics in the musical RENT (very! very! good! look!)

[2] The director died of aortic dissection at the age of 35, source encyclopedia.

[3] The story that Shen Zhuoqing is writing, see "Twenty Love Letters and a Song of Despair", too many chapters are locked and directly moved to Weibo @顺松商祥_Echo, pure idiot high school student x nightclub Top stripper.

PS I'm sorry, RENT's performance time and place are different from the facts, for the plot to serve orz
