Chapter 41 : The Lazy Song Transporter
At the Rising Sun Theater.
The Puppeteer welcomed her favorite audience member's attendance.
Ye Xing spent the entire afternoon watching Lian Hua's puppet shows, thoroughly enjoying herself.
She replenished her depleted Lian Hua energy in just one afternoon.
Lian Hua's newly adapted puppet shows were extremely captivating, her performance techniques increasingly refined, truly befitting the Puppeteer of the Rising Sun Troupe.
Imperceptibly, the sky outside gradually darkened.
Through her shared senses with Ye Lan, Ye Xing also knew it was very late now.
Just as Lian Hua finished performing a puppet show, Ye Xing took the opportunity to applaud her.
Clap clap clap------
"The Puppeteer's puppet shows are getting more and more impressive, both in terms of story and presentation techniques, they've improved significantly compared to before."
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment. Actually, the puppet shows I just performed were adapted from several scripts written by the Playwright. In terms of story alone, it's the Playwright's credit. If it weren't for her stories as a foundation, my puppet shows probably wouldn't be so captivating."
From Lian Hua's words, it was clear she really liked the scripts Shu Yao wrote for her.
This way, she wouldn't have to write stories herself in the future.
For those without talent, writing stories is extremely painful and torturous. Without inspiration, one can only fabricate haphazardly, resulting in stories lacking narrative quality and performability.
Lian Hua happened to be poor at writing stories, so with a playwright, she no longer had to worry about lacking material for puppet shows.
Now, aside from puppet shows based on stories about the Spectator, Lian Hua didn't want to perform other puppet shows too many times.
It wasn't that she was fickle or anything, but rather she wanted Ye Xing to always see new puppet shows.
If she kept repeating the same puppet show, it would be too perfunctory.
Even if Ye Xing didn't mind, Lian Hua didn't want her to miss out on fresh performances. This was her responsibility to the audience.
At this moment, Shu Yao returned from outside, carrying a book.
During this period, Ye Xing had been learning to paint, so Shu Yao could only go to the library alone to read.
Seeing her return with a book, Ye Xing suddenly felt a bit guilty, as if she had abandoned someone.
Shu Yao also noticed Ye Xing in the audience seats and asked, "Have you cheered up a bit?"
"Mm-hmm, I've cheered up."
After expressing all her emotions through painting, Ye Xing's heart felt much better.
At least those sorrows had dissipated, and she had emerged from the shadows.
Just by looking at the portraits of the original troupe members, Ye Xing's heart could find some solace, no longer easily sinking into sadness.
For others, this was a distant history, but for Ye Xing, it was something that had happened only recently. Being able to move on and let it go was a sign of growth.
Shu Yao could sense Ye Xing's state and confirmed that she had returned to her original condition.
"Is that so? That's good. In that case, you'll be able to accompany me to read books every night from now on, right?"
"Mm-hmm!"
Seeing Ye Xing and Shu Yao chatting happily, Lian Hua immediately puffed up her cheeks.
"Hmph... Playwright, it's not right to steal the audience away while I'm performing."
Although Shu Yao had written many puppet show scripts for her, she couldn't easily give way when it came to the Spectator.
Shu Yao smiled gently.
"But hasn't the Puppeteer monopolized the Spectator for the entire afternoon? We need to allocate time reasonably. After all, the Spectator belongs to everyone. We need to be clear about this point."
Hearing this, Lian Hua felt it made some sense.
She was a sensible, good child, and wouldn't be selfish enough to monopolize the Spectator for an entire day.
"Alright then."
Lian Hua put away her puppets.
If Shu Yao hadn't reminded her or if Ye Xing hadn't called for a stop, Lian Hua could have continued performing indefinitely.
Her stamina was quite robust, so there was no need to worry about physical exhaustion.
At this moment, Kong Yubai also returned.
Seeing everyone present, she smiled and said, "I've written a few new songs recently. Would you all like to hear them?"
"New songs!"
Ye Xing's eyes lit up, her expression full of anticipation.
She wanted to appreciate any new works by troupe members as soon as possible.
Especially new songs from the Singer.
How could new songs from a World Diva not be amazing?
Besides Ye Xing, Lian Hua and Shu Yao were also looking forward to it.
Any normal person would anticipate beautiful singing.
The Singer's voice could evoke empathy in people, sometimes serving as the best psychological comfort. Being able to hear such a voice was a pleasure in itself, and having new songs to listen to was extremely rare.
The daily routine in the theater was generally Lian Hua practicing puppet shows during the day, while in the evening the Singer would sing on stage. The Playwright spent most of her time immersed in the library, and Ye Xing did as she pleased, mostly staying in the theater.
As for the other members, they rarely showed up, only appearing collectively during weekend performances.
Or when the Playwright produced a new script, the Troupe Leader and others would come out to prepare for the weekend performance.
This was roughly the cycle.
Subsequently, the Singer ascended the theater stage and began to sing. A beautiful and melodious voice emanated from her throat, echoing throughout the theater, filled with an ethereal quality.
Ye Xing and the others listened quietly, quickly becoming infected by this voice.
A moment later, the song ended, immediately followed by a completely different song, clearly another composition by the Singer.
This time, the Singer had experienced a burst of inspiration, creating many high-quality songs, providing Ye Xing and the others with a very enjoyable auditory feast.
As time passed, the Singer finally stopped, not continuing to sing further.
Ye Xing gradually came back to her senses from the listening state, her soul still seeming to have been baptized by the singing.
"It was so beautiful! These new songs are amazing!"
The Singer smiled slightly at the excited Ye Xing.
"These are all songs for you. You should release them online, let more people hear them."
"Eh? Me again?"
"Who else could it be if not you? Star Sky Diva~"
"Um... alright then, but I might need to practice for a while before I can fully master them..."
"That's fine, I'm not in a hurry. I think after these songs are released online, the reputation of the Star Sky Diva will definitely become even hotter. At that time, in terms of popularity, you might be able to compete with the current World Diva."
"Mm... the current World Diva..."
The image of Qinglin Mio floated in Ye Xing's mind.
She wondered how that friend was doing.K
The World Diva seemed very busy, having to tour in many places, even holding concerts in other countries. She was truly a very busy person.
Having so many fans supporting her must also be quite pressuring.
Although Ye Xing believed in the quality of Kong Yubai's songs, it might still be too early to compare with Diva Kiyomi.
After all, she was just an internet diva, not appearing in front of the public, which was her limitation.
Diva Kiyomi was a World Diva, with unimaginable popularity.
So comparing with the World Diva was best left as just a thought.
Ye Xing only wanted to be a lazy transporter responsible for covering songs.
