There were no curtains, no speeches, just a wooden board separating the reception and preparation rooms, and for the first time a group of people performed a play on such a humble stage, and it was the first time in their lives that they had performed a formal performance.

"The story takes place in the royal capital of a kingdom, in the outer city, there is a beautiful and kind girl......"

As the narration sounded, Erin slowly walked to the middle of the stage. She was dressed in a dirty gray robe, her hair was messily coiled on top of her head, and her face was covered with black ash.

Swinging the broom in her hand, she carefully swept the floor, bending down from time to time to wipe the dirt that was difficult to remove with the corner of her robe.

After several days of rehearsals, Erin has memorized the entire plot process. The story is simple, a commoner woman who has lost her mother is bullied at home, but because of her kindness, she saves a witch and allows the witch to use her magic to send her to a ball hosted by the prince, and she falls in love with the prince at first sight. However, due to the limited time for magical powers, she had to leave the ball in a hurry, leaving a crystal slipper behind in a panic. And the prince searched the whole city in order to find this beautiful girl, and finally found her in the outer city, and the two lived happily together.

The story is simple and easy to understand, and the plot has changed from the usual description of the love between the princess and the prince, but the commoner woman won the favor of the prince with the help of the witch with her good nature. As the protagonist of this play, Cinderella, from tolerance to courage to resist under oppression, is also a place that needs to be emphasized by actors.

But what Irene never expected was that Maye actually gave up the heroine position to herself.

She was very happy that Westside Star was willing to perform with her, and as the pillar of the Fortress Theater, May had enough pride and confidence to play the leading role in any play, but in "Cinderella", she offered to play the protagonist's half-sister.

This made Erin a little unbelievable, and it wasn't until the other party repeatedly emphasized that this was a newcomer's performance that Erin took over the role of Cinderella.

In the following rehearsals, she worked hard, not only practicing each scene repeatedly, but also pestering May, who was in the same bed, to teach acting skills after extinguishing the candles, just to live up to the other party's heart.

Fortunately, Erin was not inexperienced, looking into the eyes of countless people in the audience, she relaxed her body and reproduced the content that she had practiced repeatedly, so far, she felt that she was in good shape and had not made any mistakes. When Roxia, who plays the witch, is nervous and forgets her words, she also encourages the other party with her eyes.

"I'll divide the porridge in half with you, don't eat it too quickly, it's still hot. ”

"Thank you for your kindness, little girl, and I will repay you. ”

The crowd applauded as Roxia hunched her back to the backstage - much to Erin's relief. You must know that it is an intolerable mistake to forget the words during the official performance in the fortress theater, and the nobles will only mock the actor with boos, rather than goodwill applause.

That's when Maye came in.

This plot is the first conflict between the mean sister and Cinderella, and under the oppression and insult of the sister, the latter can only cry in tears, hiding in the basement to the portrait of his mother.

But when the other party stood in front of her, Erin suddenly found that the atmosphere on the field changed abruptly.

She is no longer the star of the theater who is silent during rehearsals, but the ruler of the stage. Her elevated demeanor, just the right body movements, and the unconcealed contempt in her eyes all made Erin feel a strong sense of oppression.

"Yo, look at who this is? What are you delusional about not working in the daytime?"

"You poor wretch who no one wants, why don't you hurry up and clean my dress!"

"Don't be clumsy, this is a formal banquet dress, and you can't afford to break it. ”

Maye pushed her hard, and Erin should have pretended to fall at this moment, but under the cold eyes of the other party, she couldn't help but take a few steps back, accidentally tripped herself, and fell to the ground almost without a buffer, her elbow hit the stage floor, and a hot pain came.

"What a useless waste...... "May's eyes no longer look at her, but walk to the center of the stage, facing the silent square and the crowd, and begin her monologue.

"Miss May," Margaery lowered her voice in admiration, "and a few words caught everyone's attention, and the role had been fully played by her. ”

"Well, it's amazing," Roland nodded, but this man was too powerful. The disgust and contempt she showed for Erin was as if it were real, and even sitting here could feel her callousness. The emotional appeal can be seen from the expressions of the audience...... However, she is not the protagonist. Irene's originally good performance suddenly lost a lot of color in front of her, and if it goes on like this, I'm afraid that the supporting role will override the protagonist.

Erin was a little stunned.

She knew she had to get up quickly, and May's monologue was mainly about her desire for the prince and leading to the court ball, which wouldn't last long, and she had to leave the stage before the scene changed. But the familiar feeling of the old rehearsal was gone, and for the first time, Erin realized that the stage was so unfamiliar.

That's all you need?

It wasn't until Maye finished her performance and walked past her, the fluttering corners of her skirt slapped on her face, that she came to her senses. The other party didn't speak, but Erin read the words from the cold eyes of the Western Star. Erin knew that Maye must not pull herself up, that the two of them were in the same role, and that once she reached out, the drama was over. She bit her lip, the smell of iron overflowed from her lips, and looked at May's back as she disappeared behind the partition, wanting to get up and follow away, but Gate and Sam had already trotted up with props, and Sam also took the opportunity to lay the barrel in front of her and whispered, "The next scene is still yours, keep it up, come on!"

Erin knew it wasn't in order, but she did...... She had already missed her chance to play.

So the audience saw a wonderful change, Cinderella sat motionless on the stage, while the surrounding scene changed from the living room to the basement, the beautiful round table and wooden chairs turned into wine barrels and rattan baskets, and the props carried back and forth, but the girl maintained a posture, as if frozen in time.

The next plot is that Cinderella is trapped in the basement, and the witch comes to the rescue, not only giving her beautiful clothes, but also summoning a carriage that can carry her directly into the palace.

"Remember, time can only last until midnight, and you must leave the palace before the dragon clock rings. Otherwise, the clothes and carriages will disappear. ”

"Ah...... Be. I see, thank you. ”

Erin has not yet gotten rid of the dazed at this time, she used to hide backstage and secretly watch May's performance, she only felt that this woman who was free to sway and smiled in front of more than a thousand viewers was very powerful, but when she stood on the stage and faced this bright star, she completely understood the amazing strength of the other party in acting.

Is this the distance between the stars and the flowers?

After a dry line exchange with Roxia, the first climax of the play follows: the court ball. In order to achieve the effect of a grand ball, this scene is also fully staged - in addition to her and May, Get, Sam, Roxia, and Tina will all wear masks and dress up as other noble dancers. And the person who dressed His Royal Highness the Prince was none other than her lover, Philin Hilter. (To be continued.) )
