My system chooses to create an entertainment empire by itself

Chapter 172 A Midsummer Night's Dream

At the beginning of the story, a play was added to the Duke's dialogue to introduce the background.

Apparently Ji Yongxi was also afraid that Xia Guo's audience would not understand these classical backgrounds.

For example, in the city of Athens, for example, the most powerful person is the Duke.

In literary creation, it is very common to make up a name. Everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with calling it Athens, and they thought it was a nice name.

The play begins with the duke standing in the arena with a young woman and his guards, who are soon to be married.

Hermia's father, Aegis, took Hermia to the duke's mansion, and there were also Hermia's beloved Lysander and Hermia's beloved Demeter.

As soon as Iges came up, he sued his daughter Hermia to the Duke. He asked the Duke to order Demeter to marry. According to the ancient law, if Hermia did not marry Demeter, she should be executed or choose not to marry for life.

But Hermia loves Lysander deeply, and her best friend Helena likes Demeter.

Yan Zhi sat in the stands mainly to watch Geng Chen's Lysander.

Demeter laughed at Geng Chen's Lysander, "Lysander, give up your unreasonable demands, and stop fighting against my established rights!"

"You have her father's love, Demeter, let me keep Hermia's love, and you go and marry his father."

Geng Chen used a strange emphasis, an emphasis that the drama masters present had never heard before.

"What accent is this? A dialect?"

"Some are funny, but some are interesting with the words."

The old men in the back still haven't forgotten to comment from time to time. Although their voices are extremely low, they may be old and can't control the volume well, and they don't know it.

The people sitting next to them didn't seem to know them, they just thought that these three old men really liked to brag.

Igesis boldly admitted that he liked Demeter, that he would give Demeter all that belonged to him, that Hermia, he said, was his, and that he would give Demeter all the rights in Hermia.

As soon as this scene appeared, the audience laughed. For modern times, these words are easy to make people think wrong.

"I thought it was a four-cornered love just now, what is it now? A father wants to betroth his daughter to someone he likes? What kind of whimsical idea is this?"

"Is this art? Is Yan Zhi trying to open up a new line of art?"

The audience immediately stared at Iggis, but obviously, as the plot progressed, this guy didn't appear much.

In order to escape the absurd law, Hermia and her real lover Lysander decided to elope and escape from Athens, but before that, Hermia told her best friend Helena.

At this time, in order to celebrate the Duke's wedding, a group of actors are going to rehearse a comedy in the forest outside the city.

Hermia's friend Helena loves Demetrius, so she revealed the news to Demetrius, so the two of them also came to the forest one after another.

No matter what Helena said to Demeter, even saying that she was one of his dogs, Demeter told her that he always loved Hermia, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

"Oh, how pitiful, Helena, don't you know that Demeter also likes Hermia's father? If you marry Hermia, you can get two, but you can only get one."

I don't know who said something, which made the entire audience laugh.

I have to say the angle is tricky.

If it is absurd, it will have a deeper impact on the hearts of the audience that Iggis, who didn't have many roles in the first place.

There are many cute elves living in the forest, including fairy kings and fairy queens.

At this time, the fairy king and the fairy queen had an awkward situation.

In order to tease the fairy queen, the fairy king ordered a naughty man named Puke to pick a kind of flower juice, and Cupid's arrow fell on the flower, forming such branches and leaves.

Drop the flower juice on the eyelids, and the person who is dripped will fall in love with the person or animal at first sight.

This setting has been used countless times in previous lives, and it originated from "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

In Xia Kingdom, this also appeared. These people who were watching the drama had not seen it yet, and they watched it with gusto.

Before coming here, I knew that this time it would involve magic, so everyone present could accept it. They thought this setting was very novel.

"It feels like a fairy tale?"

"It's quite interesting. I didn't expect that kid to write scripts well."

"Hmph, I'll ask that kid to arrange a play for us some other day, and the three of us will be the protagonists."

"Yo, that's amazing, do you know him?"

"Of course, he wanted to invite me to this show, but unfortunately I thought my old bones couldn't stand it any longer, so I didn't do it. Otherwise, the Immortal King above might be me."

It was time for the conversation of the three old men in the back, and Yan Zhi, who had made up his mind not to look back, couldn't help turning his head.

He looked at the old man who said he knew him, and took a closer look. Where did the invitation come from? ?They are so familiar that I still can't see it here?

After confirming that he no longer recognized him, he turned back. There were a lot of such braggarts in his company, and he had seen a lot of them.

It happened that the Fairy King accidentally learned that Helena loved Demeter, so when he dropped the flower juice on the Fairy Queen's eyelids, he asked Puck to drop some flower juice into Demeter's eyes.

But Puck searched for a long time in the forest, and at last he only saw Lysander, an Athenian, so he mistook Lysander for Demeter and dropped it on his eyelid.

"Is there going to be an accident? This guy won't fall in love with a beast, right?"

"It's possible that he was sleeping on the ground and I think the first thing he woke up was a bird and then he started climbing the tree."

Someone started talking again, and they started to say some novel ideas.

By chance, Helena and Demeter passed by. Helena kept explaining to Demeter how much she loved him, but this aroused Demeter's disgust.

Finally, Demeter said fiercely to Helena: "Stop! Otherwise, you will die."

"Does Helena still deceive herself? A hermaphrodite like Demeter who likes both yin and yang is not good enough for you."

I have to say that in the eyes of the audience, this Helena is very beautiful, and Demeter's actor image is much worse than Geng Chen, so they are naturally more willing to stand in Helena's position.

Helena froze in place, and while she was talking to herself, she saw Lysander sleeping on the ground, and she shook him awake.

Lysander slowly opened his eyes, the frenzy in his eyes couldn't be stopped.

This also indicates that the previous idea was wrong and returned to the most common plot.

At this time, Yan Zhi began to observe Geng Chen, after all, this part was very difficult to perform in the script, it is equivalent to a different person here.

It is very difficult to play two different people in the same scene.

"I would go through fire and water for you, exquisite Helena."

Geng Chen's body heaved violently, his hands grabbed Helena's shoulders excitedly.
