Second update
After Gu Cheng left, Qin Yao's life was relatively peaceful. She would only miss him occasionally, or when she happily bought groceries and suddenly remembered that today was not the day Gu Cheng would come home, she would inevitably feel lonely.
Fortunately, she has her biological mother and two hungry kids at home, so she is not idle and can play games with the kids.
The turmoil in the unit has subsided. Qin Yao occasionally wondered whether she should create an image of a good wife who "loves her husband" for herself in the cultural center, so that it would be convenient for Gu Cheng to visit her.
But she also felt that it was unnecessary and too deliberate, so she just let it be.
Xu Lu had no intention of bothering her as she was busy competing with Tang Runjie in beauty. However, Lan Baiyu had been talking to her often recently.
"Qin Yao, the museum has just received a batch of cultural relics. Do you want to go and take a look?"
The cultural center also has a cultural relic protection department. Incidents in recent years destroyed many cultural relics. In the past two years, the center has begun to pay more attention to cultural relic protection and collect various cultural relics to be stored in the museum. These people will also go to see the excitement.
"Go and see after dinner." Qin Yao didn't understand Lan Baiyu. This girl was not interested in Xu Lu recently, but became interested in her. Qin Yao once got close to Lan Baiyu to test Lan Baiyu's affection for her. It would have been fine if she hadn't tested it, but the result was sixty.
[She has a 60% favorable impression of you (she is curious about you)]
Because her favorability level was good enough, Qin Yao did not reject Lan Baiyu's active approach. She was also very curious about this girl. Secondly, Lan Baiyu was good-looking, and it was always pleasing to the eye to be with a beautiful woman.
Qin Yao herself is beautiful, but she can't look in the mirror every day.
After lunch, the two went to the Cultural Relics Collection Museum to see the newly arrived cultural relics, admiring them while chatting.
"Xiao Qin, your husband hasn't been home recently?"
"Well, he's on a mission."
"Do you want to?"
"Of course I do." Qin Yao said naturally, and then she remembered that she had just established a character of loving her husband, and added: "I care about him a lot."
This was not a lie. Qin Yao's cheeks turned slightly red. Normally, she seldom expressed her love and care to others like this.
"That's great." Lan Baiyu said sincerely.
Lan Baiyu has been very confused recently. She herself is not sure what she really likes. She doesn't care about Xu Lu as much as she thought. As for other things, she is not interested in them either. But she has reached the age to get married, which is really boring.
"There will be a three-county joint drama competition soon. Qin Yao, are you going to participate? Do you want to try writing a drama?" As a secretary, Lan Baiyu knew a lot of inside information.
"A play? I've never written one."
Lan Baiyu urged, "Go and give it a try. If you win the award, it will be good. With your qualifications, you will definitely be promoted, at least with a salary increase of one level."
Qin Yao has an impressive resume. He has written many reporting articles before and has some fame in the print media. He has also been a hero in catching spies. The books he wrote were made into movies, which received very good responses. If he can write a drama and win an award, he will be a well-known figure.
Qin Yao has just joined the cultural center and her position and salary are not high, so she should strike while the iron is hot and work hard.
No one would complain that the salary is too low, right?
None of the dramas produced by their cultural center in recent years have won any awards. The best one was a drama produced by Jiahui last year, which only came in fourth place. The director is very anxious and hopes that their center can stand out this year.
"I'll give it a try." Qin Yao thought that there was no harm in participating. If she didn't write well, her salary wouldn't increase. If she wrote well, she could still give it a try.
Writing a play is different from writing a novel. A play is all about dialogues, which drive the story forward. It really tests the author's ability to write dialogues, as all the information is hidden in the dialogues.
What topic should I write about?
Qin Yao thought about it over and over in her mind, and soon she came up with an idea. She wanted to adapt the previous story of Yuan Li and Xu Yun and put it on the stage. The scenes would all be in the hospital, and the background would be changed to a hospital. This would be a "solving a case" story, and it would also meet the propaganda requirements of combating crime and breaking the four olds.
Thinking of this, Qin Yao became inspired and finished the first draft in just four or five days. She planned to find someone to rehearse with her and make revisions while watching the stage effects.
"You've finished writing it already?!" Lan Baiyu looked up at Qin Yao in shock. She had just mentioned it casually, but she didn't expect Qin Yao to really be able to write a drama in a few days. This woman was really amazing.
She only thought Qin Yao was beautiful and never thought that she had real abilities.
Although their small cultural center has gathered a lot of so-called "literary and artistic talents", most of them are actually half-baked and just get by by praising each other.
Qin Yao, the specially recruited talent, really found a treasure.
Lan Baiyu quickly finished reading the script written by Qin Yao. She didn't have time to appreciate it. She was just immersed in the story. It was so cool! The thief was caught! The trickster was caught! It's so amazing that people applaud.
Throughout the ages, stories like this one about Justice Bao solving cases and searching for the truth have always been the most attractive.
The plays written by Qin Yao are completely different from those clichéd slogans.
"You wrote it so well! This play will be great when it's staged!" Lan Baiyu was extremely excited, "Let's quickly find actors to rehearse."
Lan Baiyu was very positive about the rehearsal and took the initiative to help Qin Yao contact the actors. However, it happened that the script written by Jiahui was also being rehearsed at that time, and several good female drama actors had been picked up.
Jiahui is writing a big drama this year with a lot of characters. Last year, the drama she wrote won fourth place. Many actors want to take part in her drama to stand out in the county and win awards, so they won't have to worry about promotions and transfers in the future.
"Qin Yao wrote a play? Can she write one?" Jiahui's words seemed very impolite. Before Qin Yao came, she was a well-known talent in the cultural center and had a say in various places. This year, the cultural center was staging a play, and Jiahui thought to herself, "Who else but me?"
The glory of the entire cultural center rests on her.
She will definitely be able to lead others to win awards this year, and she is very confident about the play in her hands.
"She has already written it. The script is very good. Now she is looking for actors to rehearse."
Jiahui sneered, feeling disdainful in her heart. What could Qin Yao write? She is not a professional drama writer, so it takes a lot of skill to write a drama.
Qin Yao was lucky enough that the "novel" she wrote was accidentally adapted into a movie, which made her somewhat famous. But in Jiahui's opinion, Qin Yao's novel was not profound enough, not meaningful enough, and not combative enough, and was not up to standard.
She had written nothing more than a "funny story."
Jiahui complained in her heart but didn't say it out loud. She was confident that Qin Yao would never be able to defeat her.
"Let her choose the actors. There are still many left."
Lan Baiyu went to ask the actors in the drama studio, but ultimately came back empty-handed. All the good actors in the drama studio were going to participate in Jiahui's "big play", leaving only a few cats and dogs.
Apart from this, we can only find some unprofessionals to make up the numbers.
"As long as you have the skills, I will lead the rehearsal." Qin Yao used to be a school belle. She participated in cultural performances every year when she was in school and served as a host. She has experience in dancing, singing, sketches, poetry recitation and other programs.
Lan Baiyu: "I'll also play a role."
Lan Baiyu didn't want to play the leading role. She wanted to play Li Yuanyuan, who stole money but pretended to be innocent. She felt that this role was very challenging and interesting.
Qin Yao looked at Lan Baiyu in surprise and found that this girl was quite interesting. After deciding on the role of Lan Baiyu, they looked for a suitable actress in the cultural center.
Fortunately, the play written by Qin Yao had many female characters, and there were many female comrades in the cultural center, so she was able to quickly form a team.
The female lead Ge Shuangshuang is Tian Xiaojia from the drama troupe. She is pretty, tall and slender. Because she speaks in a sweet voice on weekdays, she is ridiculed for being pretentious and is ostracized in the drama troupe. She does not get along well with Li Jiao, the female lead in Jiahui's drama.
Tian Xiaojia wanted to prove herself, and after seeing Qin Yao's script, she said that she could play any role, "I want to participate in this drama, I will play Li Yuanyuan."
Qin Yao was speechless. She found that those who loved acting all liked to play negative villain roles.
"You play the female lead Ge Shuangshuang."
After finding the female roles, Lan Baiyu asked Tang Runjie to play the policeman. After putting together the basic team and all the drama actors were in place, they began to rehearse intensively.
Qin Yao's life became fulfilling. She took care of the children at home and rehearsed a drama at work. Once people are busy, time passes quickly. Gu Cheng's return is imminent, and the premiere of their drama is about to begin.
First, the competition among various units and communes in the county was held in their cultural center. A few days before the drama competition, Qin Yao and others rehearsed very hard, and everyone was very confident in the drama "Solving the Case".
In order to make the dialogue exciting, Qin Yao added a lot of reasoning and debate elements. The conversation went back and forth, which dumbfounded everyone who had never seen a detective novel before.
"It's imperative that our play doesn't win an award!" Lan Baiyu was extremely excited. The play was of a very high standard, innovative, lofty in purpose, educationally significant, and the dialogues were extremely exciting.
When their play is performed, it will definitely shock the world!
Lan Baiyu was so immersed in the drama that she didn't even bother to pay attention to Xu Lu. When Cui Ying came to see her, she didn't pay much attention, which made Xu Lu very puzzled.
Xu Lu also wanted to repair his relationship with Lan Baiyu, so he specially asked his girlfriend Huang Mingli to communicate with Lan Baiyu.
Huang Mingli went to look for Lan Baiyu, but saw them rehearsing a play. She was so fascinated by it that she went back and said to Xu Lu, "Their play was so wonderful! The story was so wonderful!"
"Tang Runjie's performance as the police officer is really good. If this is performed, it will surely be a big hit in your cultural center!"
Tang Runjie is handsome, and when he appears on the stage in a formal police uniform, there are sure to be many girls who are fascinated by him.
As Xu Lu's boyfriend, Huang Mingli had always known that Tang Runjie was Xu Lu's photographer. She didn't expect that after changing his appearance, he turned out to be a pretty good-looking guy.
After hearing what Huang Mingli said, Xu Lu felt disgusted. Tang Runjie was going to play a police officer? Huang Mingli also said that their drama performance was good?
"Is their play better, or is mine better?" Xu Lu played the leading male role in Jiahui's play. He was confident that he would be the star, but he never expected that Huang Mingli would bring him such news.
Huang Mingli was silent for a moment, and finally said, "The play you are acting in has a lot of people."
Xu Lu's face turned ugly. He went to find Jiahui and told her about this. Jiahui shuddered in her heart. Could it be that Qin Yao could really stage a good drama?
Jiahui secretly went to watch Lan Baiyu and others rehearse the drama, and she felt not very well after watching it.
She had put in so much effort and was determined to win the award this time, and she didn't want to be overshadowed by others.
Jiahui and Xu Lu discussed it and immediately came up with a dirty trick to make Qin Yao's drama performance fail.
"Let him get into trouble!"
Xu Lu had selfish motives and came up with an idea. He gave Tang Runjie a laxative on the day of the performance so that he could not perform and put them in chaos.
