Chapter 109 Adapting the Screenplay

Qin Lve Ru Huo
Sakura was in a bad mood, and even the other two looked very down.
"Maybe our recent performances are always the same, so there are fewer and fewer audiences coming to the performances. Even in the past few days, the auditorium is empty, and there is no cheering."
As they narrated, the moods of the rest of them also became heavy. Even Xiaoxia didn't expect such a change in the family.
On the side, Xia You touched his chin.
Although it sounds worthy of sympathy, he has seen the performance of the three Sakura before, and after traveling to Carlos, he has worked behind the scenes for a period of time, and after thinking about it for a while, he understands where the problem lies.
"The reason why it became like this may be that your positioning of your own performance has deviated."
Hearing his words, everyone present looked sideways, and Yinghua and the others looked at him in surprise.
"Huh? Why do you say that?"
Xia You said slowly: "Actually, the last time I came to the Hualan gymnasium, before I played against you, I watched your show. How should I say it, although it is also very exciting, but the show is too simple, at least I am watching the whole show. After the scene, what do you want to recall afterwards, um... I only remember a few long legs on the water..."
Hearing what he said, Xiaoxia gave him a blank look, while Yinghua and the other three looked at each other.
"This…"
In fact, they have full confidence in their own programs, and more importantly, they also enjoy showing their beauty to everyone through water ballet.
Now hearing someone's impression of them, only legs are left, which is indeed a bit hurtful.
Although they don't want to admit it, the fact that the audience is constantly decreasing has punctured their dreams, and they have to accept this fact.
Calamus asked: "Then what do you mean by the position you just mentioned?"
"Of course it refers to the audience." Xia You sorted out her thoughts and continued, "Through my observation, I found that the audience who come here are almost all adult men, and their purpose is also very simple, just to Appreciating your dance, although it is very pleasing to the eye, but after a long time, the audience is tired of aesthetics, so naturally they don't want to come again."
His clarity, what he said was convincing, and it made everyone realize that this is definitely not just some sloppy talk.
On the side, Peony's eyes lit up, as if she had received some recognition, she said excitedly: "Look! This is exactly what I thought before!"
Sakura also nodded, and said to Xia You: "That's why we plan to let Xiaoxia come back to play the role of the mermaid princess and save this Hualan Gym!"
"No!" Xiaoxia quickly refused, "I can't do this kind of thing!"
"But..." Sakura looked puzzled, "You all saw it just now, our poster has been posted, everyone heard that there will be a new show tomorrow, and the tickets have already been sold out."
"Tomorrow!?" Xiaoxia slapped the table and stood up abruptly, "You want me to perform on stage tomorrow without my consent? Are you kidding me!"
"Ah, ah~" Calamus stretched out his hand and pressed Xiaoxia hard, and at the same time threw a few bound papers in front of her, "This is the script we wrote for you, just follow the lines above, even For a little girl like you who has no acting experience, it's also very simple!"
Xiaoxia shook her head like a rattle.
Seeing that her attitude was still firm, Sakura pleaded, "Xiaoxia, sister, please do us this favor!"
Xiaoxia hesitated for a moment, in a dilemma, since she was a child, she was the eldest sister Yinghua who was the gentlest and the best to her, seeing her open her mouth now, she really couldn't bear to refuse.
Even Xiaozhi and Xiaogang also chimed in.
Xiaozhi persuaded: "Just agree, Xiaoxia."
Xiao Gang also said: "Since the tickets have already been sold, it's not realistic to cancel the show now."
So many people came to persuade her, Xiaoxia's will has been shaken, seeing this, calamus and peony said to Xiaozhi and Xiaogang gratefully: "You are so kind, Xiaoxia is so lucky to have friends like you Already!"
At this moment, Xiaoxia had already lost her mind, she couldn't help but glance at Xia You, seeing him nodding slightly, she could only sigh helplessly: "Okay, I promise you all..."
Hearing this, Mudan unabashedly made an OK gesture to Mudan, with an expected smug smile on her face.
"I'll just say no problem! Xiaoxia can't refuse Sister Sakura's request at all!"
Calamus ignored her, but urged Xiaoxia: "Okay, okay, come and read the script, if there is no problem, let's start rehearsing quickly!"
Xiaoxia rolled her eyes. Although she agreed, she still had some resistance in her heart. After reading the script, she found that it was just a clichéd story of a prince defeating villains and saving a princess.
Can such a plot really save Hualan Gym's reputation?
At this moment, she suddenly remembered something, and turned to look at Xia You.
"By the way, Brother Xia You, I remember you once told me, didn't you write a very popular story? Why don't you help us revise this script?"
The story Xiaoxia was talking about was naturally referring to the manga adapted from the story of Maiden's Gorge. After the copyright was sold to Maiden's Gorge, the manga became a bestseller once it was released, causing a small-scale frenzy, and even spread to several surrounding cities.
And when Xia You and Xiaoxia were soaking in the hot springs in Honglian Island, they casually said something while chatting, but Xiaoxia actually kept it in mind.
"I won't change any scripts." Xia You shook her head, "Although the manga of Girls Gorge is written by me, the main reason why it can sell well is its artist and publisher."
"The manga of Girl Gorge!?"
"Really?" Hearing this, Calamus immediately became interested, his eyes glowed, and he said excitedly, "We also read that manga a few days ago, the writing is so delicate, we thought it was some female writer As for the text I wrote, I didn’t expect that it was written by you, and the story of the girl waiting for her lover is so touching!”
Sakura clasped her hands together, and begged, "If this is the case, please help us read the script."
Xia You hesitated for a moment: "Writing a story and adapting a script are two different things. I've never touched it before. This really won't work."
"Don't say that." Unexpectedly, Sakura and the others didn't care about it, "The manga based on the story can still sell so well, doesn't this prove that the story itself is exciting enough? And no matter what, it must be better than ours. It’s a lot stronger, just give it a try.”
She didn't expect to implicate herself in the end, but since Xiaoxia agreed just now, under the persuasion of Yinghua and the other three, Xia You stopped being hypocritical and agreed.
"Well, since you don't care, I'll give it a try, but let's say in advance that you don't have too much hope for this matter."
"Maybe our recent performances are always the same, so there are fewer and fewer audiences coming to the performances. Even in the past few days, the auditorium is empty, and there is no cheering."
