"Young master, are you alright?"
The servants cautiously approached.
Young Master Xiao's face darkened, and he slapped the servant hard across the face. "What were you all doing just now? Didn't you know to stop me a little?"
How could they just stand by and watch him kneel down in front of a decrepit old man in public? It's outrageous!!
"I..." I wanted to stop you, but you were too fast.
The servants looked aggrieved, but when they met Young Master Xiao's displeased and dark eyes, they could only shut up, swallow their remaining words, and stand aside timidly with their heads down.
"What are you looking at? Get out of here, get out of my sight—!!"
When Young Master Xiao saw the people around him pointing and whispering about him, he was instantly furious and felt humiliated.
He immediately started cursing at them.
Seeing that he was not someone to be trifled with, the people around him all shook their heads with disdain and left.
Who exactly is this old man?
Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Young Master Xiao frowned, staring intently at the spot where the group of friends had disappeared. He beckoned to a servant, signaling him to come closer, and whispered, "Go, investigate thoroughly!!!"
"I'd like to see if this is just an act or the real thing!! Humph!!"
Having said that, he became furious, flicked his sleeves, and strode away.
…
"Grandpa Huang, what did you do before? Were you a resigned prime minister? Or a former general?"
The confidant was genuinely curious because Old Huang's demeanor just now was truly outstanding. It was clearly the kind of aura that only a person in a superior position possessed, and he was able to control it with ease!
The speed at which he changed his expression was so fast, I have to say he would definitely be a great actor in modern times! He could absolutely be an Oscar winner!
"Hehe~ My dear granddaughter, guess! There's a prize if you guess right!!"
Old Huang didn't answer directly, but raised an eyebrow at Zhiyin and teased her with a grin.
"Tch, fine, don't tell me then, I'm not going to guess..."
Zhiyin pursed her lips, not caring at all. After all, she had just asked on a whim and walked into the Xiao residence with the two of them.
Upon entering her own courtyard, Zhiyin couldn't wait to start thinking about what kind of script she wanted to write.
After all, if it were to be performed on Old Master Xiao's birthday, it would have to be eye-catching enough, preferably with a touch of tragic romance, so as to instantly stir people's emotions. Whether it brings joy or not is another matter, but it has to be said that tragic romance is indeed more memorable, captivating, irresistible, and even infuriating.
It makes us eager to see what happens next.
"It will definitely have to be a short film, after all, there are only eight days left until Grandpa Xiao's birthday, and we can't support a long epic."
Zhiyin rested her chin on her hand, deep in thought. It was really difficult to combine novelty and entertainment with a short period of time.
When her head was about to explode and she had almost lost all her hair, her eyes lit up.
"Got it!!!"
"The Seven Fairy Maidens!!!"
"Whether or not you can relate to the story is another matter, but the love, hate and grudges between gods and mortals are absolutely captivating and awe-inspiring."
"Moreover, it doesn't have to be performed all at once. It can be performed at the banquet when Dong Yong, in order to save the Seventh Princess from suffering, voluntarily writes a letter of divorce, giving up his beloved, and giving up this relationship and marriage. It will definitely resonate with the audience."
The more Zhiyin thought about it, the brighter her eyes became. Just thinking about how these ancient people were so captivated by the dramatic, twist-and-twist, and even somewhat heart-wrenching stories in TV dramas made her want to laugh.
"This is it!!"
Once Zhiyin understood everything, she no longer hesitated and decisively began writing based on the TV series she remembered watching.
To make the entire series more relevant to the present day, giving it a more antique feel and making it more relatable, and to make things that are impossible in this world more plausible, such as hot pot and flying machines, the series underwent reasonable adaptations.
This will make the whole show look more harmonious, so it won't be too strange or offensive.
Although it is not long, the music needs to be adapted to reflect the current social situation, so background music also needs to be added.
There were also various costumes, ribbons around the waist, headdresses with yellow feather crowns, decorations made of yellow flowers, and so on...
There are also the spells cast by fairies. Although there are no special effects, it doesn't matter. All they need to do is make graceful and mysterious gestures, and the enemy will fall to the ground.
The rest is up to the audience's imagination.
"As for the stage lighting, it should be possible to use a combination of wax and mirrors to illuminate the stage."
Zhiyin spent the entire night writing frantically, talking to herself and pondering.
My hands were practically smoking.
"Hehe, all done! I was so sleepy!!!"
I don't know how long I've been busy, but I do know that the sky outside is so dark it's almost as if ink is dripping from it, and there's not a sound to be heard outside the mansion.
Zhiyin rubbed her swollen arm, yawned, looked at her masterpiece with a smile, smiled with satisfaction, and went to sleep!
…
The next morning, without even informing Huang Lao and Ziyou, Zhiyin eagerly brought the script and other materials to the Elegant Pavilion.
Autumn's mother and the girls from Yage obediently closed the shop, and inside, renovations were in full swing.
Looking at the platform being erected and the surrounding arrangements, Zhiyin immediately gave Qiu's mother a thumbs up, "You guys are so fast!! So efficient!"
"Hahaha, boss, you flatter me. Since I had nothing else to do, I thought I'd get started as soon as possible. The new signboard is already being made."
Autumn's mother laughed so hard she almost fell over, her face glowing with happiness.
