Chapter 848: "Do You Want to Build a Snowman"

The story development and stage design have returned to the familiar territory of Keifer Wilson. The goblins who live in the lush mountains and dressed in primitive costumes obviously play the role of ancient and wise wizards in this drama. The goblin elders who took the lead checked on Anna's situation. Use magic to replace the memories of her happy play with her sister Elsa with other happy daily routines, making her forget that Elsa has ice magic.

"Can you make my magic disappear? Please!"

Elsa raised her hands in front of the goblin elder and begged.

Some people in the audience were moved, realizing what a soft and kind-hearted child Elsa is. At the same time, they also understood that her family's happiness and peaceful life were more important to her than having magic.

"Sorry, I can't do it. Magic is part of you." The goblin elder held Elsa's hands and said, "It will become stronger and stronger as you grow older. You should have felt it. It contains both beauty and beauty." , but also hides huge dangers. You must learn to control it and master it.”

"But I can't control it!" Elsa said in panic.

"You need a medium, a pair of gloves, or something else." The goblin elder comforted, "Believe in yourself. The most important thing is the power of heart and love."

"I..." "I understand."

Elsa was still standing there awkwardly, but the king had already made a decision.

He picked up Anna who was out of danger again and said goodbye to the goblin. The lights led the plot to change again. A few seconds later, Anna was already lying on the bed. The king knelt down and handed a pair of gloves to Elsa.

"Here, put it on," he said, "conceal it..."

Elsa put on her gloves obediently, her voice echoing that of her father:

"Don't feel it, don't let it show (don't think about it, don't let people see it)."

The king nodded solemnly and seriously:

"I believe you can do it."

He immediately stood up and hurriedly ordered, "We need to close the door, reduce the manpower, and reduce Elsa's contact with the outside world as much as possible. No one can know that she has magic power."

"...Including Anna."

The queen was shocked: "How can this be done? They are sisters! We can't let them separate-"

Elsa walked over and held her mother's arm.

"Mom, we need to do this."

She exudes sensibility and maturity that are not in line with her current age. "This is for her good and for my own good. We have to make the best choice."

The queen sadly hugged Elsa into her arms. At the same time, Anna stretched out on the bed: "Uh-oh-"

She rubbed her eyes and jumped off the bed. Elsa immediately broke away from the queen's arms and walked quickly towards the double doors.

"Elsa! Ai..."

Anna, who was subconsciously looking for her sister, stopped in confusion and confusion.

Elsa, who was wearing gloves, had half of her body hidden behind the door, and she looked at her.

Closed the door.

The lights dimmed again, and there was an obvious "Oh..." from the audience, which was the sadness and regret of the foreign audience who were in the show.

Tall and exquisite props were launched and rotated on three rings inside and outside the stage, dividing the limited space into several pieces in an orderly manner like a movie lens.

The king was reading the books, the queen was weeping secretly, and the figures of the guards and maids were intertwined. Until winter came, the props were withdrawn, and Anna, who looked a little more mature, ran out excitedly.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!" she shouted, "It's snowing!"

The brisk piano sound flows out, the melody is simple and clean, and full of childishness.

Anna tilted her head: "Elsa?"

She ran towards the door with her short legs and raised her right hand high.

Boom, boom, boom.

“Do you wanna build a snowman~”

(Do you want to build a snowman?)

Anna leaned against the door and faced the audience. Her elegant yet lively green palace dress swayed in a circle of joy, making the innocent smile on her face even more dazzling.

"Come on let's go and play~"

(Come on, let’s play together)

"I never see you anymore, come out the door, it's like you've gone away."

(I haven’t seen you for a long time, come out, it’s like you disappeared)

The soft children's music filled the audience, and everyone easily memorized the melody of the song. Those who could understand the lyrics in real time showed knowing smiles.

"We used to be best buddies, and now we're not, I wish you would tell me why——"

(We used to be best friends, but not anymore, and I really wish you could tell me why)

Anna lowered her head, then quickly turned around and leaned against the door, purring lively like a little bird.

“Do you wanna build a snowman~”

(Do you want to build a snowman?)

She put her hands to her mouth and sang quietly:

"It doesn't have to be a snowman——"

(You can also play other games)

"Go away Anna." Elsa's voice came from the door.

"Okay, bye..."

Anna sighed in frustration, slowly walked to the right and left.

The next second, Elsa and the King and Queen walked into the stage from the other side, which is a very common reverse transition.

"I did what you said and I succeeded!"

With a mixture of surprise and joy in her voice, she said, "The gloves work!"

"Very good." The king said earnestly, "But don't forget, one day you will have to take off your gloves and face everyone, so -"

"Hide it, don't think about it, don't let anyone see it."

Elsa repeated firmly, "Hide it, don't think about it, don't let anyone see it..."

They crossed the stage, disappeared behind the side curtains, the lights moved, and Anna, riding a bicycle, appeared in front of the door again.

Boom, boom, boom.

There was a crisp and cheerful knock on the door again, and the little girl's sweet voice was no longer so high-pitched, as if she had grown a few years older. The strings are spread out, and the violin ensemble takes on the responsibility of drumming. The music becomes rich but not overly exciting, supporting Anna's voice to complete the melody.

“Do you wanna build a snowman~”

(Do you want to build a snowman?)

"Or ride our bike around the halls——"

(Or ride together in the lobby)

Anna rode her bicycle around the stage. Unexpectedly, her singing voice was quite stable, and the small bumps from time to time had a sense of reality and were perfectly integrated into the performance.

"I think some company is overdue, I started talking to the pictures on the walls."

(I’m so bored without you by my side, I started talking to the paintings on the wall)

"—Hang in there, Joan! (Hang in there, Joan!)"

Anna's sudden stop and wink hand caused a burst of laughter from the audience. Some audience members with appropriate seats looked along her arm and found that there was actually an oil painting depicting a knight hanging there. They couldn't help but be surprised by the sophistication of the props. I find it even more funny.

"It gets a little lonely, all these empty rooms, just watching the hours tick by——"

(These empty houses make people a little lonely, I can only watch the time passing by bit by bit)

As Anna's little figure on the bike rides away, the ice formations that amazed Keifer return to the stage, and Elsa painfully walks back to the center.

"My magic is stronger!"

She waved her hands helplessly, then quickly clasped her hands back to her chest, "I can't laugh or cry, all my emotions will induce it! I can't control it!"

"Calm down, calm down." The king tried to comfort her, "Remember, fear will only make things worse."

"Hide it, don't think about it, don't let anyone see it—"

Elsa hypnotized herself with a trembling voice, "No! Don't come here! Don't come near me!"

She turned her body suddenly and stopped her mother from approaching: "Please, I don't want to hurt you..."

"This is not the way to go."

The queen crouched down sadly, "Don't worry, Elsa, we will go to sea to find the answer, for you and for our home."

What followed was a quick farewell. The attendants, wearing felt hats and coats and carrying suitcases, formed a human wall between the king and the queen. On the left was the queen comforting Elsa, and on the right was the king hugging her. Anna.

The young couple who had watched the broadcast in the theater in the afternoon knew what was about to happen here, but when the king and queen were blocked by the actors in the depths of the stage, and a storm of lights and sound effects suddenly appeared, their hearts were still pounding. There was a pause.

Although these are all common effects on the stage, I don’t know where the blue team found the audio samples. The sound of strong wind, heavy rain, lightning, thunder, and even the swaying water caused by the irregular swaying of ships in the vast ocean is incomparable. reality.

Lynn Theater also has surround sound, and when combined with these sound and light special effects, the audience seemed to really be on this ocean-going ship, rising and falling in the rough waves.

"Oh my God!" The girl in the young couple even shouted softly, unconsciously leaning towards her boyfriend.

Sure enough, this is the charm of live performance, no matter how big the screen in the theater is, it cannot compare with it.

Everyone was really stunned for a while, but in fact, this effect only lasted for a few seconds, but the emotional shock made the audience's physical sensations invisibly prolonged.

After a moment, the thunderstorm receded like a tide, and a deep and solemn voice sounded:

"In memory of our king and queen, they sleep in the vast ocean!"

A man dressed in a thick black robe and dressed as a bishop walked to the front of the stage under the spotlight. Beside him were Elsa and Anna, who were also wearing black veils.

Their figures appear heavier and thinner in the black skirts.

"The glory of the Arendelle royal family will be inherited by the young queen!"

The bishop continued to shout, "May the deceased rest in peace!"

The low cello tells the pain and sadness caused by this disaster. Sorrow floats in the air. The low and soft sobs are not clear whether they are the sound of the piano or the human voice. The atmosphere is as oppressive as dark clouds.

The drama's general director clearly didn't want to waste time here, and this was a very brief memorial service. After the bishop finished his announcement, he moved away with the others. Elsa lowered her head and hurried to the side of the stage. Anna stood there and looked at her, calling her name softly.

Like so many times before, Anna got no response.

Darkness swallowed her small figure.

…

Ellie said "Oh" uncomfortably, jumped off her father Keifer's lap, and squeezed into the same seat with her sister Jenny.

This little commotion slightly attracted the attention of the surrounding audience, but when they saw two little girls with golden hair and brown hair sitting there, they all responded with kind smiles.

In the open-air seats, Yue Yang raised his wrist and glanced at the fluorescent hands on his watch, nodding slightly.

It only took fifteen minutes and was well paced.

Sure enough, as he thought, a beam of light followed, facing the heavy, closed door.

A girl wearing a dark green palace dress stepped from the shadows into the dim cold light, with a thin black gauze blocking some of her brown hair.

She faced the audience, and the audience could see her face - it was Su Su, the adult Princess Anna.

The main actors finally appear at this time.

The audience who had watched the broadcast gave friendly applause. Su Su, who looked sad on the stage, did not ignore their goodwill and gave a forced and polite smile.

She then turned sideways, curled up slightly, and leaned against the door.

Boom, boom, boom.

The familiar rhythm of knocking on the door is much slower than before. It is no longer cheerful, only hesitant and sad.

"Elsa?"

Anna spoke softly, "Please I know you're in there..."

(Elsa? Please, I know you're in there)

"I just wonder how you've been."

(I just want to know how you are doing now)

The exact same melody, completely opposite lyrics, and a sudden depression.

The audience all recognized that this was the song that Anna sang when she knocked on the door before, but now it is no longer a fun nursery rhyme with a lazy joke and an innocent and lively rhythm.

The deep sadness seeped into the hearts of every listener.

"Do you maybe want to take a walk? Or think and talk."

(Maybe you want to take a walk? Or just chat)

"Or let me in...?"

(Or let me in...?)

The singing voice, which is far superior to the singing skills of the younger actors, has broken the guard of the sensitive audience. They can clearly hear the cautious temptation in the voice and the heartbreaking forced smile.

Anna took a breath and smiled:

"Are you ready for tomorrow? It's your big day."

(Are you ready for tomorrow? It’s your big day)

"Is there anything I can do...?"

(Is there anything I can do to help?)

The weak violin music suddenly raised the melancholy atmosphere to its highest point. Anna pressed her forehead against the door, and after a while she turned her back to lean on it.

She slowly and slowly slid down against the door. At the same time, the heavy door slowly turned on the stage.

It rotated 180 degrees, like a solid and heavy wall, and the stage was completely divided into left and right halves.

On the left, the terrifying ice cover expands like a creeper, and the light is cold and blue. The adult Elsa is huddled on the ice, leaning against the door, hugging herself with gloved hands, looking up with trembling lips. see.

There was a cluster of shocking ice spikes, splaying downwards.

On the right, Anna, who was separated by a door and back to back with her sister, twitched the corner of her mouth and sang with a forced smile:

"Do you wanna build a snowman..."

(Do you want to build a snowman?)

The string music flows slowly like an underground river, and the song comes to an end.

When the two spotlights dimmed, the sisters lowered their heads at the same time and tightened their arms.
