Chapter 3 Ye Xuan’s script: "Selling Crutch"!
In the room where Ye Xuan was, Ouyang Mi and Tian Yu also frowned deeply after hearing the question.
This kind of subject matter is really difficult.
Who can link two completely unrelated things together?
To make the subject of fraud funny, do we have to portray a fraudster in all his ugly glory?
As students of the drama academy, they began to use the knowledge they had learned to analyze the topic.
But I found that the meaning behind these two simple words is not as simple as the number of words in them.
Portraying an ugly liar is certainly close to being funny, but it can only be limited to being "funny".
There's nothing original about stories like this; even street clowns can do a better job than them.
If they can think of it, others can naturally think of it too. So how can they stand out among the one hundred groups and advance?
Besides, "comedy" is more than just "funny".
Comedy is not vulgar or ugly comedy, it is often a satire and explanation in a funny way.
This is the core of "comedy" and also the hidden meaning of the three judges' choice of this theme.
They told all the contestants their requirements almost explicitly - to use comedy to satirize the act of fraud.
The two of them easily saw through the judges' minds, but even after seeing through them, they still felt heavy in their hearts.
Because at their level, they simply can't do that.
Even if they knew the meaning of the question, they could only sigh in despair.
"Oh, what can I do? It's too difficult to produce a high-quality script in just one hour."
Ouyang Mi shook her head, pursed her lips, and looked a little depressed.
Unexpectedly, they would be stopped here in the first round of the comedy competition. Was she going to fail miserably like this?
Tian Yu also sighed.
"This is too difficult. To create a work that is both interesting and accurately satirical within an hour, I'm afraid only great screenwriters can do it."
The books they created in school were only at child's level and were not good enough for a competition like this.
Just when the two were in trouble, Ye Xuan, who had been silent and lowered his head, suddenly brightened up his eyes and raised his head.
He had just been thinking about the work on fraud in his memory.
The comedy in this world is far behind and there are gaps in many areas.
But comedy in the previous life has developed very well, and there have been related comedy works in various fields.
After the two people's reminders, he actually found out a story related to fraud that was easy to interpret.
The most important thing is that it fits their current situation perfectly.
This script does not require too many people or too many scene settings.
One hour is enough time for creation, set design and rehearsal.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned on the computer provided by the crew and created the script document.
Seeing his actions, Ouyang Mi and Tian Yu were both surprised.
"Ye Xuan? Do you have any ideas?!"
They looked at Ye Xuan in surprise. In just a short while, and no one had discussed it, he actually had ideas about the script?
They couldn't help but move forward.
At the same time, the live broadcast room of the program was opened. After observing Ye Xuan's condition, the camera was immediately aimed at him.
“It’s really surprising that Room 13 took the lead in writing the script.”
Since Ye Xuan was the first person among the 100 people to start writing the script, the director team naturally replaced the big screen on the main stage with that in their room.
Xiao Sa then spoke to the big screen.
At the same time, viewers attracted by curiosity began to flock to his live broadcast room frantically.
"Is this the first guy who started writing scripts? So handsome!"
"You're just pretending, right? You've already thought of the script in just a few minutes? How can someone so young have such strength?"
"You've figured it out in such a short time. Even if you can write it, it may not be a good work. I think it's just a show of strength." "There's actually a beautiful woman in this room? Just for her sake, I want to stay and see what they're performing!"
The audience's comments flashed on the screen of the live broadcast room, and the discussion about Room 13 on the Internet and in the program exchange area became increasingly heated.
Ye Xuan ignored the voices of the crowd. He typed silently and quickly on the keyboard, and soon many lines appeared in his document.
"With such a fast speed, it's not that he's hitting randomly, right?"
"Knowing that the live broadcast room is open and directed at you, even if you can't think of anything, you still have to make a mess to maintain your image, right?"
"That's it, that's just pretending to be cool. Someone in the next live broadcast room has also started writing about it, and it seems much more reliable than him."
The audience in the live broadcast room mocked Ye Xuan.
They don't believe that anyone can come up with a good script in just a few minutes and not get stuck at all while writing.
Even Tian Yu and Ouyang Mi looked at him with some concern.
Was Ye Xuan really writing a script? Was he just typing a bunch of random words out of nervousness? After all, he hadn't discussed it with them at all.
However, Ye Xuan soon broke their doubts.
He saved the computer screen in front of him and sent it directly to their mobile phones.
With a "ding" sound, they heard the message.
"What the hell? Is it really finished?"
"It can't be fake, right? Are you acting?"
The audience of the barrage were all shocked.
It's only been 10 minutes from the beginning to now. No matter how fast you try, it's impossible to finish it so quickly, right?
The photographer obviously knew what everyone was thinking and switched the camera directly to the computer screen.
The audience was even more shocked when they saw the clearly organized manuscript on the computer screen.
“This doesn’t look like random writing, does it?”
They couldn't help but feel shocked.
Those who had questioned before shut their mouths and dared not speak anymore.
In order not to reveal too many details of the work, the camera only stays on the document for a few dozen seconds.
However, after reading the entire document, Tian Yu and Ouyang Mi immediately laughed out loud.
This work is so funny.
Seeing the main actors laughing, the audience became more curious about them.
What kind of work makes the main actors laugh out loud?
Ye Xuan sent a copy of the document to the director team and asked them for the corresponding equipment for the performance.
The director team sent them bicycles and crutches, which made everyone in the live broadcast room even more curious.
“My skit is called “Selling Crutch””
Ye Xuan finally explained to the audience in the live broadcast room.
This name confused everyone.
The barrage in the live broadcast room asked about its meaning, but Ye Xuan did not explain too much. Instead, after assigning the roles, he and Tian Yu and Ouyang Mi began to recite the lines.
This process was very boring, and most people in the live broadcast room left to see the preparations in other rooms.
The main stage also cut out their room and replaced it with live broadcasts from other rooms.
Time passed quickly, and Ye Xuan's group, who finished writing the script first, also memorized the lines the fastest.
After the preparations in other rooms were completed one by one, the countdown on the big screen returned to zero.
"time up!"
