Chapter 459 is so bright!
The dialogue between the two unknown students AB and Tolstoy, the smooth performance, and the subsequent lines all told the audience that it was not a performance accident.

This is the script for the sequel!
Timeline: Ten years later...

Just change Nikolai to Tolstoy...

All of them are unique sequels.

The smartest thing about Zweig - The smartest thing about This World is Gu Lu is that he no longer emphasizes the misunderstanding of his relatives, but sharply pierces the more painful wound, that is, the young generation who grew up reading Tolstoy's books and were awakened by his thoughts.

Because of Tolstoy, they saw the miserable lives of the lower classes, but their mentor Tolstoy was still enjoying everything.

Without thinking too much, all the audience could feel the burning sensation of being put on the fire.

The actor who played Student A was also an outstanding actor of the Bolshoi Theatre. In contrast to the old makeup of the lead actress Varvara, he put on youthful makeup and played a student in his thirties.

The disappointment in his eyes seemed like the fire of hell, which seemed to burn everything in front of him. He took a step forward and faced his spiritual mentor Tolstoy. "Well, if suffering is so kind and merciful, Leo Tolstoy, well - why don't you suffer yourself? Why do you always praise the martyrdom of others, while you sit in the warmth of your home and eat with silver plates, while your tenants - I see - are ragged and starving in their huts... Why do you always talk instead of acting according to your teachings, why don't you set an example yourself?"

Why is it said that the acting skills of drama actors are very high? Look at this question of more than two or three hundred words. It is difficult for most actors today to memorize it, let alone recite it with emotion.

Language is a knife.

Language is a sharp sword.

It is difficult for young actors to perform the volcanic eruption hidden in the words, so the theater's mainstays are needed to play the role.

When the "author's name" appeared, the audience, who were a little distracted by the play, were quickly drawn into the script.

Varvara (playing Tolstoy) turned pale and covered her chest in pain. On the stage, you must use actions to express emotions. The audience in the back row cannot see your eyes and expressions. Language and actions are your weapons.

Under the stimulation, Tolstoy faced his own weakness. When two strangers broke through his defenses, he first admitted his cowardice in a hoarse voice, and then in an even smaller voice, he reviewed his incompetence.

The constant inner tearing is the cross God made for him. The cleverness of this sequel, or the "gentleness", is that it treats Tolstoy as an ordinary person, not a great writer with a halo, and shows the pain more "directly", no longer through the mouths of others, and no longer verbal descriptions.

Salikov looked at Oksana beside him, and saw similar emotions in each other's eyes.

A sequel, can it be written like this?!
Sequel, how dare you write like this?!
Why was Alexei, the Russian ambassador to China and a die-hard fan, so excited after watching "Escape to God"?
Why did Yuri give Tolstoy's last signed book to Gu Lu?

Why is this sequel so shocking?
Because it expresses Tolstoy's ideals, things that Tolstoy did not dare to do in reality, and things that he did not dare to think about in his imagination.

The play "Light Shining in the Dark" was created in the late 19th century, but until his death in the early 20th century, no sequel was written. It is not an exaggeration to say that he "dared not even think about it".

"My God, are you going to..." Edward Welkin was so excited that he even pulled out a curly beard.

No matter how many times you watch it, you can feel that Yuri Buida can still feel the power of redemption. He holds his breath and watches with 200% of his concentration.

Varvara (as Tolstoy) "Sasha, Vladimir Georgievich, tomorrow I will make a will, clear, unreserved, binding, unambiguous, stating in it that I give all the proceeds of my writings, all the dirty money generated from them, to everyone, to all mankind - for the benefit of everyone, for the needs of my conscience, and not to trade on the words I say and write..."

That's right, this is exactly the redemption Tolstoy wanted - and then he said that he faced his wife directly, also using her real name Sophia, abandoning the original Maria pseudonym. Also played by Galina in old makeup.

The development of the story is not cliché, thinking that he would convince his wife Sophia with love and tenderness. Sophia found out what her husband did behind her back. Three hours ago, they were sure that they would believe each other, but at night when everyone fell asleep, she secretly came to the study and looked through the documents.

Yes, that's right, this is the real Sophia. If she could be convinced with just a few words, or with love and tenderness, then Tolstoy would not be so painful.

But the sequel is also consistent with the original, not portraying Sophia as an evil villain. In fact, most modern people should identify more with Sophia. The family is happy, and the children are all successful. But the husband wants to give all the property to others, and even leave no inheritance to the family. Who can agree with this?

What about Tolstoy? He believed that his literary works awakened countless young people, but he himself enjoyed everything, and most importantly, he failed to stand with them. Then aren't these works just taking advantage of the suffering of the lower class people to make money?

Everyone has their own motivations.

Not everyone knows the great writers of their own country. For example, how many people know about Mr. Lu Xun's marriage? Most people only know a few words and dare not say they know anything.

Similarly, the audience from the Bear Country here can better understand their country's great writers from the continuation of the work by a Chinese person.

"No wonder Mr. Tolstoy was able to write such works. His painful struggles alone are something I cannot possess." An audience from the Bear Country lamented.

Escape, Tolstoy's last lie was to escape from home using the pseudonym Nikolai Saretsev.

Accompanied by his secretary, he ran away from home.

Remember the name of the character Tolstoy projected himself in the previous script? Yes, it is this pseudonym, and everything is closed!

In real life, Tolstoy died at the remote Astapovo railway station. Just like in real life, the character played by Varvara on stage also came to the end of his life.

Tolstoy closed his eyes, exhausted, and could never open them again. A great soul died in a shabby, simple, low, duty room on the railway platform.

The actor who played the secretary Duchamp ended the scene with his last words, which is also the best summary of this mirror of the Russian Revolution.

A dull and humble fate is unworthy of his greatness. If he had not been hurt by people like us, Leo Tolstoy would not be the Leo Tolstoy he is today.

The curtain falls.

"Wow, wow, wow!" There was immediate applause.

"Dear Gu Lu, please don't blame me for my rude behavior. I apologize for my previous behavior. This is the best sequel I have ever seen. You are Mr. Tolstoy's most loyal follower!" Oksana couldn't control her emotions at all and apologized to Gu Lu who was sitting in the front row on the spot. Gu Lu, who was still communicating with Deputy Minister Yan, was interrupted.

Deputy Minister Yan is very sensible. Chatting about the details of the creation is not important. What is more important is to show up in front of others first.

Therefore, Deputy Minister Yan watched silently as the authors from his own country were surrounded and praised by the Russians. Moreover, many of them did not speak English well enough, so the efficiency of communication was very low.

But this scene really brings honor to the country, because the Russians who surrounded it included politicians from the Russian cultural department and the most powerful writers in the Russian Bear Country.

"All Tolstoy's readers, all Russians, should perhaps take a look at this. From today on, "The Light Shines in the Dark" becomes a complete play." A senior official from the Russian Ministry of Culture.

Don't be surprised why they say this, Tuo Lao and Tuo Lao, these two people are the name cards of Maozi culture, in a sense, they represent the Mao Bear Country. To put it bluntly, Tuoism is a prominent school of thought in the Mao Bear Country.

Gu Lu really wanted to say to the hairy hand in front of him, "Brother, can you be gentler?"

Not all Russians have thick hair, but the Russian cultural and political figure in front of him has real hair and very strong hands.

"It is conceivable that Mr. Gu Lu must have spent several times more effort on the celebration gift for Escape to God than for One Night Genius and Scramble for Antarctica." The Russian cultural and political leaders looked like they understood everything, "This symbolizes that our Russia-China relationship has gone beyond the scope of traditional allies. The two countries do not need to form an alliance. The friendship between the two sides is as deep as that of 'old friends'. This kind of trust and friendship cannot be easily shaken by external forces."

Uh - I wanted to refute after hearing the first half of the sentence. After all, they are all Zweig's works, you can't rank them. The key is that he wrote the celebration article on behalf of the country, so he can't make any statement about which country worked harder.

But after the second half of the sentence, Gu Lu instantly shut his mouth. Hey, now that you’ve said that, what else can I say?
Gu Lu looked at the person next to him for help.

Deputy Minister Yan knew it was his turn to speak, and immediately took over the conversation, "Yes, that's right. Even though China and Russia adhere to the three principles of non-alignment, non-confrontation, and non-targeting third parties, the geographical location..."

No matter what you say, the politicians have made up their minds that their judgment is correct, and they will also promote it this way in the future!
Compared to Asians, Russians are definitely more extroverted in their emotions, so Gu Lu had no room at all.

Because the chats kept coming.

"The stupidest thing I did this year was probably the conversation I had with Mr. Gu Lu," Salikov said. "Without sufficient literary attainments, I would not have been able to write this sequel. Without sufficient research on Tolstoy, I would not have been able to write such a perfect ending. You are too young, and I was foolish enough to be deceived by stereotypes. If possible, Mr. Gu Lu, I would like to treat you to a drink tonight."

It is a bit difficult to speak with Big Brain Mensa because the English level is not very good. I need to think about the spelling of some words, so my speech seems to be halting.

"Stereotypes also have their advantages. After all, we meet so many people in our lifetime. If we don't use stereotypes, our lives will be too tiring." Gu Lu responded, "And now that I have broken through the stereotypes, can't we become friends? But I'm not very good at drinking."

"The benefits of stereotypes - an interesting statement, Mr. Gu Lu is also an interesting person." Salinico started to use filters, and with the filters, everything he said seemed to be fine.

Yuri Buida said, "Do you know why? I thought about it for a long time after reading Escape to God, thinking about how I would create it if it were me. But I found that I even made an outline, but it was far from enough, too far from enough."

“Of course, because Gu’s “Escape to God” is very counter-intuitive.”

Edward spoke a little later because he stood up and smoothed his beard first. He had pulled out several strands of beard while watching the movie just now, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

He continued, "Because the play is a drama, the first thing about the drama is that the audience can effectively integrate into the story, but abandoning the character's name will make people very distracted. But this is what makes "Escape to God" the most perfect sequel in my mind."

"Yes, that's right." Yuri nodded.

Think about it carefully, if the sequel was still about Nikola, Nikola gave up the copyright, and Nikola ran away from home, would it be so shocking?

will not!

Yuri realized that the person in front of him had never written a play before, and only an "outsider" could have such a bold writing style!
"Everyone, everyone, please don't get excited. Our performance isn't over yet." The speaker was Salin, the owner of the Grand Theater, who was also a well-known figure in the literary and art circles of the Bear Country.

It’s indeed not over yet, there’s no curtain call!
Salin gradually calmed down the excited crowd, and the procedure had to be carried out no matter what.

Russian politicians took the stage, along with theater director Salin and actors from the lead cast including Galina and Varvara.

"Mr. Gorky said that if you don't know Tolstoy, you can't know the Bear Country. I agree with this comment." The Russian politician spread his hands, "My God, but I didn't expect that I don't have a clear understanding of China even as well as a Chinese."

"Gu Lu, a famous Chinese writer, is the author of the fifth act of "Light in the Darkness". From today on, sir, you will be our bear country's eternal friend!" Russian politicians invited Gu Lu to the stage.

And my business? Gu Lu stood up.

"Oh my god, he looks so young. Is he really young? I feel like Asians all look young."

"He is really young. I heard that he is only 24 years old this year, the age when he just graduated from college."

"Is he studying in Moscow?"

"Gu Lu - what works has he written before?"

Amidst applause and discussion, Gu Lu walked onto the stage, and the politicians took the initiative to give up their C position.

There has always been a saying on the Internet, "Bai Yueguang is incomparable to Bai Yueguang himself", and the current situation is the embodiment of this saying.

Qi Caiwei looked at Gu Lu, who was shining on the stage. He was so amazing that even the principal of the next door (she was in a dance troupe, so next door meant the theater) could only serve as a foil.

However, Qi Caiwei felt that in her memory during the Rising Star Dance Competition, Gu Lu in the audience was even more dazzling...
