Chapter 26 Started
After getting a good reputation, Menglu returned to the hotel and started hell-style rehearsal with the members of the drama troupe. Lucy hasn't gone anywhere these days and has been with Menglu and the others. Lucy doesn't leave, and Lianhua and Liao will naturally not leave either. In this way, everyone spent 2 days together.
Two days passed quickly, and the day of the game was coming. On that day, everyone got up early and made the final preparations for the game. Everyone had a nervous look on their faces, and even the oldest Uncle John and Jack were not included.
The drama competition in the drama festival is the traditional program of the Oppa Town Drama Festival. The purpose of this competition is to develop and innovate dramas, so that more people know dramas, understand dramas, and like dramas. Each session will attract many people to participate. The drama competition venue is located in the large square in the center of Oppa Town, and is divided into 8 areas at the same time. People can watch any performance in any area at will.
There is one district referee in each area, and there are three heavyweight presidents in the competition. The final result of the competition is negotiated and decided by the district referee and the president referee, and fairness can be well guaranteed. This time, the president is composed of Baron Aiswen, deputy head of the Imperial Capital Royal Repertory Troupe, the mayor of the town of Oppa and the garrison officers of the garrison garrison. It is worth mentioning that the officer of the garrison is not a military officer, he is a complete playboy.
Since the registration time was relatively late, the performance of Menglu Repertory Troupe was arranged in the afternoon of venue 7. Although the competition time was in the afternoon, everyone arrived at the competition venue early and grabbed a few good places to watch the programs of other repertory Troupes.
The competition started on time at 8 a.m., and various dramas were staged in the eight areas at the same time, including dramas praising His Majesty Eragon, romantic and miserable love story dramas, wonderful music dramas, and humorous alternative dramas. Each area was crowded with people and was very lively, and people either applauded, cheered, or cried.
Watching so many kinds of dramas made Lucy and Li Ao enjoyed it, and Li Ao almost rushed to the stage. The members of the drama troupe's originally nervous expression gradually faded away, watching, discussing, and learning seriously. As it was approaching noon, unexpected things happened.
"Next, we will invite the last runner-up winner, the Bonia Repertory Troupe to perform on stage," the crew stood on the stage and announced loudly, "The program they will perform is 'Princes and Princesses'!" After the press conference, the curtain fell and the performance began immediately.
When the audience heard that they were the runner-up in the last session, they burst into warm applause and cheers. Compared with the audience, the members of the Menglu Drama Troupe...
"How could this happen?" After hearing the title of the drama was "Princes and Princesses", Meng Lu lowered her head in depression.
"Menglu/Team Leader, what should we do?" The members of the drama troupe looked at Menglu and asked this question.
"Let's see how they perform!" Meng Lu said helplessly, and now she can only do this.
It’s not just that people performing the same drama on the same stage, but it’s different if the other party is the runner-up in the last session. The Boniya Theater Troupe has sufficient funds to make gorgeous costumes and exquisite props, and these are all things that Menglu Theater Troupe cannot compare to.
As a result, the Boniya Theatre Group did not disappoint the audience. After a drama, it left a deep impression on the audience, whether it was acting, costumes, props and scene arrangements. The three presidential referees on the referee table also praised the drama very much.
"It's so miserable...we have no chance of winning at all," Meng Lu shook her head and sighed helplessly, "What should I do?"
Not only Meng Lu, but other members of the drama troupe were thinking about this question, and they all shook their heads and looked listless. Lucy was even more anxious in her eyes, but she didn't know how to comfort her, so she looked at Lianhua and Liao for help.
After receiving Lucy's distress signal, "Don't worry, I have a way!" Li Ao said in a shocking voice.
"?" Hearing Li Ao's words, everyone looked at him.
"What's the solution?" Meng Lu asked in fear.
"We might as well make some innovations!" Li Ao enjoyed everyone's eyes and smiled proudly.
"Innovation?" Lucy asked in confusion.
"Well, innovation, the previous scenes are still normal. Menglu, your acting skills are definitely not bad, but the costumes and Tao can't keep up. I think there is definitely no problem with the previous scenes. We just need to make the duel scenes of the last two princes bigger!"
"How to make it bigger?" Uncle John asked.
"Simple, anyway, the princes were wearing armor in the end and they couldn't see their faces at all. This part was played by Hua and I. The wonderful showdown between two fighting warriors. I think this scene should be big enough and innovative enough!" Li Ao said this and turned his gaze to Lianhua, smiling at Lianhua and said, "How is it, Hua, are you interested in going to the stage with me to compete?"
"No problem." Lianhua agreed without thinking.
"This is a good idea!!" After reading Li Ao's words, Lucy was the first to clap her hands to support her.
"Captain/Menglu, what do you think?"
"Well~ There is no other way, I can only be a living person!" Meng Lu said after thinking for a while. At present, she can only do this, just hope that the result will not be worse.
"Then find someone to buy two iron swords. This prop sword cannot withstand the troubles of both of us. You can also show us the script." Li Ao ordered.
"Well, okay, I'll prepare now." Meng Lu agreed. "Well, I'll also modify the member list."
"Hahaha, I finally have the chance to go on stage. Yay~" Looking at Meng Lu who was squeezed out of the crowd, Li Ao said with excitement.
"Is this your real purpose?" Lucy expressed doubts.
"Hahaha, don't expose me!"
“…”
Meng Lu squeezed out of the crowd, and two chores were missing to do weapons and scripts, and she went to find staff to modify the registration member information. Soon these small things were done. Lianhua and Liao took the script and watched them seriously and simply wrote down the lines. Fortunately, there were not many lines in the last scene. Others could only continue to watch the performance on stage with a nervous mood.
Time flies so fast that it’s soon Meng Lu and the others perform. “Come on!” Meng Lu called out loudly and led everyone to the backstage to prepare for it.
"Next, we will invite Menglu Repertory Troupe to perform on stage," the crew came to the stage for the ninth time and announced loudly, "The program they will perform is 'Princes and Princesses'!"
As soon as the broadcaster finished speaking, the audience below started to discuss it.
"Why are the 'Princes and Princesses' again!"
"The one who performed in the front was the runner-up last time!"
"No need to compete! Surrender directly!"

In the viewing area, the head of the Boniya drama troupe, a sexy-dressed lady was looking at the stage with a smile on her face, "Interesting, interesting! I hope you don't disappoint me... Lololo~" This person is neither someone else, but Sister Bo, and Boniya is her name.
At the same time, on the referee stage, Baron Aiswen immediately focused his attention when he heard that Menglu Repertory Troupe was about to perform. Baron's move also attracted two other referees. When he found out that it was the same as the performances of the Boniya Repertory Troupe just now, he was intrigued.
"I am not optimistic about this Menglu drama troupe when performing the same play on the same stage." The mayor expressed his opinion.
"Yes, the Boniya drama troupe is doing well, and it's quite difficult to surpass it. It's still a small drama troupe that I haven't even heard of a name. I'm not optimistic either." The officer of the garrison army nodded and echoed.
"I'm looking forward to it." Baron Aiswen said with a registration list in his hand.
"Oh? Sir, what is this in your hand?" the mayor asked curiously. The garrison officer also came over.
"Hahaha, nothing, this is the list of members that Menglu Repertory Troupe has just updated, and there are 2 more people. Humph, it's interesting." Baron Aiswen said with a smile on his face. "The performance has begun, let's watch the performance first!"
"Yes, sir!"
The performance of Menglu Repertory Troupe officially began.
Chapter completed!
