Chapter 186 A World of Cultural Discontinuity (8)
"Thank you, may I have your phone number?" the woman asked, mustering her courage.
"Of course!" Seeing Wangyou nod, Yan Hui took out his phone and added the woman on WeChat. It turned out that the woman's name was He Niannian.
Perhaps because she was closer to Wangyou, He Niannian's shackles weren't as severe, and she became much more clear-headed.
"Thank you, thank you all!"
"How is your child now?" Wangyou couldn't help but ask. She was really curious, knowing that her words of power were extremely powerful. There were even people who were injured by her words of power. Wangyou was more inclined to believe that the child was injured when Wangyou used her words of power.
"Thank you for coming in time that day. Nannan is fine now. The doctor said that if we had come an hour later, she wouldn't have survived." He Niannian couldn't help but cry.
"Stop crying, quickly divorce that scumbag, otherwise you and the child will still get hurt. Standing on your own two feet is better than anything else!"
“Yes, I will have my lawyer contact him. I don’t plan to see him again before the divorce.” He Niannian said firmly.
What are you all doing standing at the door?
"Mom, you're back! I came to see you after school!"
"Hello, Auntie! We're all classmates of the eldest brother!"
"Hello, please come in!" Ms. Fu was quite accepting of her daughter being called "boss," after all, her daughter had always been like that since she was little, and she had become the number one woman in Anzhou.
"I won't go in, I'm going to see Nannan," He Niannian said tactfully, taking her leave.
After Wangyou filled all of her mother's storage cabinets, the two chatted for a while before Wangyou prepared to leave.
"Mom, you must remember to eat. It will break my heart if you get hungry."
"Okay, go home now!"
Wangyou's life returned to normal, but her high school life was exceptionally easy. Her food, clothing, and lodging were all taken care of. Wangyou felt she had no way to repay them, so she could only push a group of spoiled brats to study.
The international students experienced both pain and joy, but they couldn't study all day long like the students in the first class. Besides studying, there were many other things they could do.
However, for high school students, studying is still the top priority. Even if the family is the richest and doesn't need their children to be academically outstanding, good grades are still a matter of pride. After all, while parents can provide them with a comfortable life, they hope even more that their children can succeed.
"Boss, it's almost New Year's Day, what kind of performance should our class prepare?" The entertainment committee member was so worried he was about to lose his hair.
Ever since I sang that song with the leader, all the other songs online have just been so...unpleasant to listen to.
Wangyou had never participated in a New Year's Eve party during her school days, and upon hearing this, she was very excited. It would be incomplete to miss out on such activities during her school years. So, Wangyou thought for a moment and said, "Let's put on a stage play!"
"So what content should we include?"
"Let's rehearse the scene of Xiang Yu being ambushed, which was recently updated online. The piece we'll use is 'Ambush from Ten Sides'!" Wangyou said, her eyes lighting up. She added that she hadn't touched the guzheng or pipa in a long time.
"The boss is talking about that video posted by the panda cub. Can we act it out?" The entertainment committee member wasn't very confident.
"Why not? Where there's a will, there's a way. Besides, I'm here!" Wangyou said confidently.
"Okay, if the boss says it's okay, then it's okay. But the number of people should be enough from our class." The entertainment committee member stopped worrying and went to find people to sign up. Then, when the students heard that Wangyou would be participating in the program, they all joined in without exception.
To put it simply, the film "House of Flying Daggers" doesn't need many women, at most just one person, namely the actress who plays Yu Ji. But there will definitely be more than one girl in the class, and the rest will definitely be classified as generals or soldiers, so the makeup cannot be wrong.
Furthermore, the play "Forget-Me-Not" is intended to be performed on the pipa, so she definitely won't be one of the actors. Also, she can't be the only one playing "Ambush from Ten Sides," otherwise it would be too monotonous.
Wangyou is the kind of person who either doesn't do anything, or if he does it, he does it to the best of his ability. After checking the available number of people, he went to the school's stage to see how many people it could hold. He had to admit that the stage was big enough, which meant there was a lot of room for them to grow.
"Zhou Xiao, do you know anyone who plays the pipa or guzheng well, or anyone who understands musical instruments?"
"Boss, Yueyi plays the violin quite well, but as for playing the guzheng and pipa, I've never seen anyone do that. I've only ever seen musical instruments on TV, or in museums!" Zhou Xiao said somewhat embarrassedly.
Wangyou slapped her forehead. She had been too hasty; she had forgotten that the cultural discontinuity in this world was quite severe. It seemed that she would have to take matters into her own hands.
"Okay, I'll send you the story outline, and you and everyone else can work together to write out the story. I'll go find out where we can find these musical instruments."
"Okay, thank you for your trouble, boss."
There are quite a few good zithers in the space of forgetfulness, but taking them out would be too eye-catching. Forget it, she'd better make one herself. It's not like she doesn't know how.
Therefore, Wangyou went to the timber market to find some good wood, but good wood was even more difficult to find. Woods like small-leaf sandalwood and golden nanmu were not available on the market and were probably considered collectibles. So, Wangyou settled for rosewood instead.
The melody of "Ambush from Ten Sides" is stirring, so Wangyou chose metal strings for the instrument. Since there is no shortage of gold in Wangyou's space, she simply used gold for the strings.
After three days of revisions and with the joint efforts of the students, the script was finally completed. After receiving it, Wangyou made some minor modifications and then began to select the actors to play Xiang Yu, the King of Western Chu, and Yu Ji.
"The actor who plays Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, should ideally be someone who looks very dignified. I've looked all over our class and I can't find anyone like that!" Wangyou and Zhou Xiao said with some worry.
"Boss, I have someone in mind," Zhao Dalong said as he walked over.
"Who?"
“Zhang Yi, the big guy in Class 1, has been practicing martial arts since elementary school and looks very imposing. I think he’s a good fit.”
"You know him, do you think he'd be willing?" Zhou Xiao was a little uneasy, after all, the students in Class 1 had always looked down on their international class.
"Of course I'd like to. He's my childhood friend. He should be thrilled to be able to participate in such a great stage play!" Zhao Dalong was very confident that he could find someone to help him.
"Then bring him here so I can see him," Wangyou said after thinking for a moment.
"Okay, I'll go call him after this self-study period ends." Zhao Dalong happily returned to his seat to study.
"I think Yi Yi's temperament is very suitable for the role of Yu Ji. Do you have any objections?"
"no!"
"Boss, can I really play Yu Ji well?" Yue Yiyi has been playing the violin since elementary school and has a great temperament. She also wants to develop in the entertainment industry in the future. She is both nervous and excited about this opportunity.
"If I say it's okay, then it's okay. Your looks and temperament are just right, so you're the one."
"Boss, I will definitely perform well and not let our national team down."
No one had any objections to Yue Yiyi playing Yu Ji. On the one hand, Yue Yiyi was suitable for the role, and on the other hand, everyone knew what kind of path she wanted to take in the future. As classmates, everyone naturally wouldn't stop her and would even give her a push.
