“True… If the boss is really wearing the headgear, it means he has accepted it. If he is okay with it, why should I meddle?” said Assistant Qin.
At the Lan Village, everyone laughed at each other’s roles.
It didn’t matter whether they could pull off the characters believably. The costumes alone lifted everyone’s spirits.
The live chat was filled with laughter.
[I’m rubbing my hands together in excitement and eagerly awaiting everyone’s performances.]
[I’m looking forward to it too!]
[We all learned something. Who would’ve thought that people in their thirties and forties needed to brush up on their fairy tales?]
[I’m dying with laughter.]
Wheatley’s family was the first to perform.
The wicked queen transformed into an old lady and deceived Snow White into eating a poisoned apple. However, Michael’s role was unclear. He just stood at the side eating an apple in a king’s costume.
[So, Michael only needs to play the carefree king in the palace? No need for a confrontation with the queen?]
[It would be good even if Michael played one of the seven dwarfs. The king doesn’t have much to do.]
[Michael steals the spotlight, though. I didn’t even pay attention to what
Nannan was saying. I was just focused on watching Michael eating an apple.]
[Did the queen and Michael use the same apples? Nannan, are you performing in front of a green screen? How can you talk about a big, red apple without bursting into laughter?]
[If Nannan saw what you said, she’d say she’s lucky she even got an apple. Why are you so picky? At least they’re using real props.]
[Michael laughed and broke character. Hahaha…]
[I suspect that Michael and Nannan are not in the same performance. Michael is completely immersed in his own world.]
[We can’t stop laughing, everyone. Nannan and Michael are on two completely different sides of the spectrum in this. Michael looks like he’s attending a personal dance party. He looks so carefree.]
Since everyone had chosen to perform as a family, the duration was extended.
After more than ten minutes, Nannan and Michael finished their performances, but Michael was still nibbling on the apple.
“Thank you, everyone.” Nannan and Michael held hands and took their bows.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause.
Xia MO was laughing so hard that she was tearing up. Even though the play was about an evil queen who would harm Snow White, why did she feel like it was a comedy show?
She glanced at the others and realized that everyone was laughing.
After coming off the stage, Nannan couldn’t hold back anymore. “What the heck? Why is it a yellow apple? Didn’t I ask you to find a red apple?” she said to Michael.
“They’re all apples. I didn’t know I had to differentiate them by color. During your rehearsals, you just had me eat an apple on the side. I had no idea you were talking about a big, red apple,” Michael said.
“That was impressive.” Li Meng walked over and gave them a thumbs-up. Nannan sheepishly rubbed her head. “I thought it was terrible.”
“It was really good. Michael has a sweet voice, and his act was on point. I’ve seen “Snow White” on stage a few times, and you did a great job,” Li Meng said.
“Thank you.” Nannan smiled.
Next was Tutu’s family. Tutu was the Rat King. He caused all sorts of havoc, throwing things around and taunting Marie.
Su Wei, playing the Nutcracker, didn’t resemble his character in terms of costume or physique, but his expressions and movements were on point.
[Wow… Tutu did a great job portraying the Rat King!]
[Su Wei looks like he’s doing a robotic dance. Those mechanical-like movements are spot on.]
[The fight scenes between the Nutcracker and the Rat King were cool. Even though we couldn’t see the actual moves, it felt awesome.]
[It’s really accurate. Thanks to Tutu and Su Wei, I now know about the Nutcracker.]
[I’ve seen it before, but I didn’t know its name. I remember thinking it was ugly when they put it on both sides of the door. Today I finally learned its story.]
Although it was the middle of winter, Su Wei and his son were sweating due to their constant engagement in the make-believe battle. Beads of sweat formed on their foreheads.
In just a short ten-minute performance, both of them were out of breath.
[Immersive performance!]
[The Nutcracker is supposed to be slim, but Su Wei is quite chubby. Yet he’s still putting in the effort to play the Nutcracker for his son. A father’s love is like a mountain.]
[Xiao Tianlin played a grandmother! Most parents are willing to make sacrifices for their children.]
[Tutu deserves praise too. He was really serious today.]
When Su Wei and his son took their final bow, the audience burst into enthusiastic applause. Although this performance lacked a female lead, the father-son duo did wonderfully.
Next was Xiao Yi’s family.
Xiao Yi played the Big Bad Wolf, and Xia MO played Little Red Riding Hood.
Xia MO wore a red cloak and styled her hair into two braids. She came bounding in, carrying a basket.
[Wow, Teacher Xia, that hairstyle really makes you look younger.] [What do you mean by “makes you look younger”? Teacher Xia is already very young.]
[That’s right, I misspoke. Xia is full of youthful vitality.]
[Can we be truthful? The big Little Red Riding Hood is really scary.]
[Hahaha… I didn’t dare say it, but indeed, it’s oddly scary. Little Red Riding Hood has evolved into something else. Luckily, the kids aren’t here. If they saw it, they would probably have nightmares.]
[What on earth is this? It’s really scary.]
[Hahaha… Everyone, look at the grandmother. This whole family is incredibly humorous. They’re laughing so hard that they’re clutching their stomachs.] [The magician’s grandmother really looks the part!]
Xia MO knew that her appearance was quite jarring, but playing a conventional fairy tale character without any creativity wouldn’t have the desired effect.
As for her husband, she couldn’t help herself. She burst out laughing.
Xia MO’s laughter echoed throughout the place. The audience burst out laughing too.
Xiao Tianlin knew that everyone was laughing at him. He frowned.
“Quiet down, everyone. Please respect the actors,” the director said.
The crowd pressed their lips together.
Xiao Tianlin portrayed the grandmother with astonishing accuracy. If someone saw him for the first time, few would recognize that beneath the headscarf was a man in his forties.
He lay on a fluffy cushion, leaning against a tree stump, looking like an elderly person in need of help.
Then Xiao Yi, playing the Big Bad Wolf, appeared. They had a silly conversation, and the wolf ate the grandma, followed by Little Red Riding Hood’s arrival.
Li Yanchen didn’t know why, but he admired Xiao Tianlin at that moment. The
audience laughed, but he was pulling off his role wonderfully.
Li Yanchen saw his inevitable fate.. When he clucked like a rooster, the audience would mock him!
