Chapter 1
Jiang Qi assigned everyone roles after careful consideration.
Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can’s acting skills are somewhat difficult to describe, but they both have one big advantage, which is that they are both socially adept.
Playing a peddler doesn’t require many skills, you just need to have the emotion of selling things.
Wang Erya plays herself in this role.
Huang Fugui plays himself in this role.
Liu Lan, with his superb acting skills, can handle a mere passerby with ease.
Old John, the special guest, and the onlookers don’t need any acting skills.
Own……
Jiang Qi originally wanted to give himself a passerby role. The most profound memory in his memory of "God of Cooking Contest" was the spitting passerby. Among the people present, except for the contestants on the field, he was the most eye-catching one, and he was definitely the center of the passerby.
But someone has to play the role of the servant. Jiang Qi thought about it and realized that playing the servant could also allow him to chat about gossip with the onlookers, and there would be no conflict.
The other townspeople and extra servants will be played by the rest of the workers.
To put it bluntly, it is a large-scale real-life scripted murder show with the nature of a reality show, except that the venue is a bit small and there are a lot of guests.
Since Xiao Zhao's workload was already very heavy, they just wrote the lyrics for Jiang Qi themselves and didn't bother him.
As the main NPCs, everyone except Old John has their own character settings.
Jiang Qi repeated everything he had seen in his memory and what the onlookers said.
The 30 characters were not written in the script, but Jiang Qi heard about their identities and backgrounds in his memory, the magical legend of the God of Cooking over the years, and things that happened outside the competition, such as nearby residents renting benches, and supporters of several different contestants quarreling over their idols.
Jiang Qi told everything he remembered.
Huang Fugui was responsible for providing additional explanations after Jiang Qi finished speaking, such as the interpersonal relationships in the town, some small gossips about the townspeople, that the county magistrate was henpecked, that the chief constable was the county magistrate's nephew who got the job through the back door, and that his martial arts skills were actually terrible, etc.
Liu Lan and the others were stunned by what they heard.
"Oh my God, Brother Jiang Qi, Uncle Huang, how did you do it? Why do I feel like you didn't make this up? It seems like there really is such a Taiping Town, and you are just telling the information about the town. The amount of information is too huge, and the personnel situation is too complicated. Do we have to write it all down?" Jiang Wanwan realized for the first time how difficult it is to make money.
Qin Can was confused halfway through listening, and couldn't sort out the relationship between the characters at all: "The chickens in Aunt Wang's house were stolen by her nephew, but Aunt Wang thought it was stolen by her neighbor Aunt Chen. There is a grudge between the two of them. What is the grudge?"
Huang Fugui was stunned: "Didn't I tell you? Aunt Wang's husband almost got engaged to Aunt Chen. Aunt Chen is her husband's distant cousin, and they have always disliked each other."
"Why didn't it work out in the end?" Qin Can and Jiang Wanwan asked in unison.
"How would I know?" Huang Fugui said he really didn't know.
Jiang Wanwan was getting anxious: "Uncle Huang, you've made the relationships between the characters so detailed, please add a little more."
"That's enough." Jiang Qi didn't expect Jiang Wanwan to be addicted to gossip. "Can you remember such a detailed story?"
"Okay." Jiang Wanwan pulled Qin Can to continue sorting out the relationships between the characters.
As an important NPC who got the role of a melon-eating passerby, Liu Lan was a little overwhelmed by all the character relationships and gossip. He spent a long time writing and drawing the character relationship diagram on paper, but finally found that it was wrong.
"This is too difficult." Liu Lan crumpled up the useless picture and threw it into the trash can. "Why don't I just remember what Jiang Qi said? After all, what Jiang Qi said was gossip about the contestants and the background of the town, which is easier to remember."
"It's enough if you can remember what I said." Jiang Qi nodded. In fact, Huang Fugui just said it briefly and didn't say anything more detailed.
The preparation time this time is too short, with rehearsal tomorrow and team building the day after tomorrow. If Fang Jing can give Jiang Qi enough time and enough people, Jiang Qi can let Huang Fugui sort out the Taiping Town in his memory and create a truly immersive real-life script-killing game.
Every NPC has a complete personality.
"What about Qinghe?" Huang Fugui was a little worried about Wang Erya.
"Her task is very simple. She just needs to highlight that Mr. Huang is a well-known good man in the surrounding area. All the characters in the story can be used as they are. She just needs to change it to that she was sold to the Huang Mansion by her parents, lives a good life, and doesn't know much about the town."
"Of course, you can also add a little easter egg, such as telling everyone that Mr. Huang cooks vegetable noodles every day at noon, and the young master and the little master in the family love it very much."
Jiang Qi knew that Wang Erya could not play a character that was too different from her original character, so she simply let her be herself.
"The original character setting. Did Uncle Huang talk about the character setting of the maids in the mansion just now?" Liu Lan was confused.
Jiang Qi was about to open his mouth to fool around when Old John silently handed Liu Lan four sheets of paper filled with character relationships written on them. The second sheet even had an easy-to-understand chart drawn on it.
The 58 characters with or without names that just appeared in Jiang Qi and Huang Fugui's mouths are all on these four pieces of paper.
It was clear and everything was visible, which made Jiang Wanwan and Qin Can marvel at the sight.
"I thought so. It turns out that I remembered it wrong. This Zhao Manzhu is actually Captain Li's cousin. I thought he was having an affair with Captain Li and went to his house for dinner every day." Qin Can quickly took out his phone to take a photo. "Teacher John, you are amazing. You figured out such a complicated relationship so quickly."
"This is easy now. With such a clear relationship diagram, I will go home and memorize it today. There will be no problem selling chestnuts tomorrow."
Qin Can stared at the icon for a long time and said, "I think my character should be this tofu beauty. On the day of the competition, everyone came to watch the competition but no one bought tofu, so I temporarily changed my job to sell fried chestnuts."
"This character suits me very well, a beautiful vase. I am not very good at making tofu, but because I am pretty, many people come to my house to buy tofu every day, and I have many suitors."
It is obvious that Qin Can, like Liu Lan, has a wrong understanding of his own positioning.
Jiang Wanwan was also looking for a character that suits her: "I think the role of the grocery store owner is particularly suitable for me. I am shrewd and stingy, and good at speculation. Taking advantage of the large number of people in the competition, I will hurry up and sell some tea, which is very consistent with my character. I can also do the business of renting benches that Brother Jiang Qi mentioned. Isn't this grocery store near Weixianlou?"
"Wanwan, if you were the owner of a grocery store, we would still have a grudge against each other. You always think that I seduced your husband, and we could have a quarrel then!" Qin Can became even more excited.
"Great, Lanlan, I think you can be the matchmaker. This matchmaker is the most gossipy person in the town. She knows all the gossip about everyone. Besides, you and the two of us don't have a good relationship. Then the three of us can quarrel together!"
"So good! This matchmaker..." Liu Lan hurriedly looked at the matchmaker's information, wanting to see if there was a description of the matchmaker's appearance. When he found none, he quickly asked, "Uncle Huang, is this matchmaker Wang pretty?"
Huang Fugui: ...
Jiang Qi: ...
Aren't we staff?
I feel like you guys will have more fun than the players by then.
