After traveling through time, I am amazed everyone in Huayu

"I don't know many people in the college, and I'm only familiar with you, and you're from the music department.

So I thought of inviting you to perform this musical skit together."

Fang Xieyue asked, "Siyu, is it okay? If you are not free before the New Year, forget it."

"Yes, yes, I'm free." Lin Siyu was a little tempted, but still a little hesitant, "But I've never tried a musical, I don't know if I can do it..."

Fang Xieyue comforted him, "Don't worry, this musical skit I choreographed is just a short play.

But in fact, it is just a medley of songs based on the characters’ personalities.”

"Well... I can't explain the details clearly right now, so how about this, I write the lyrics for the characters and send them to you after I finish them, how about that?"

Lin Siyu chuckled, "Okay! I believe you, just tell me in advance when you're going to rehearse, so I can arrange the time."

"Okay, then I won't disturb you from practicing dancing. Good luck!" Fang Xieyue smiled and hung up the phone.

All personnel are arranged properly.

Fang Xieyue called Yu Wei again to tell her about this matter, so that Yu Wei would know what schedule she had arranged for her later.

After finishing the call, Fang Xieyue started to work non-stop.

She already had a plan for her solo song in mind, so she chose one from the songs for which she had already recorded the arrangement and accompaniment.

The next thing to worry about is the arrangement, accompaniment and dance movement practice of "Mang Zhong".

As well as the arranged instrumental of "Tough Love" and the lyrics for each character.

Oh…and the costumes and props for the show.

After two weeks of busy work, Fang Xieyue finally completed all the preparations with a sense of relief.

She sent the costume design drawings to Teacher Wu and asked the college to arrange the production of dance costumes and musical performance costumes.

Fang Xieyue also found cartoons about the characters' stories on the Internet and edited a background video that fits the plot, and added Chinese and English subtitles.

With this background video, the audience can better understand the plot and feel the emotions in the story.

After asking the other four people about their free time, Fang Xieyue set the rehearsal time for December 12th and 12th.

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the agreed day has arrived.

At around eight o'clock in the morning, Han Tong came to pick up Fang Xieyue and sent her to the Magic City Academy of Art.

When Fang Xieyue arrived at the dance practice room she had booked, Xiao Xian, Xu Manting and Wang Tingting were already there.

When Xu Manting saw Fang Xieyue coming in, she excitedly rushed over and gave her a bear hug.

"Hey, little moon, long time no see, I missed you so much!"

Fang Xieyue smiled and patted Xu Manting on the back, "I miss you, too."

"Okay, okay, stop hugging me. It looks so disgusting." Xiao Xian joked with a smile.

Xu Manting chuckled and let go of Fang Xieyue.

"Xiaoyueliang, do we have to wait for Lin Siyu to come before we start rehearsing?" Wang Tingting handed a cup of soy milk to Fang Xieyue.

Fang Xieyue took the cup and said, "No, she won't be here for a while. I'll teach Xianxian and Manting to dance first. You can memorize the lyrics of the musical first!"

As she said this, she put down the cup and took out a stack of printed paper from her bag.

Then he handed the script of Rapunzel's stepmother, the witch Gothel, to Wang Tingting.

"Xiao Yueyue, please show us our character script first! I'm very curious about what story you wrote." Xu Manting said impatiently.

Fang Xieyue nodded, flipped through the printed paper in her hand, and then handed the scripts of Cinderella's two stepsisters' lines to Xu Manting and Xiao Xian.

The two took the script and began to read it.

"Stepmom's Tea Party 'Tough Love'? What kind of musical is this?" Xiao Xian asked in confusion.

Fang Xieyue chuckled and said, "You have all read the fairy tales "Snow White", "Rapunzel" and "Cinderella", right?"

The three nodded.

Aren’t these fairy tales must-read extracurricular books for everyone when they were young?

Fang Xieyue continued, "This stepmother tea party is a story based on the stepmothers in these three fairy tales."

"It tells the story of these stepmothers getting together and sharing their parenting experiences, allowing everyone to see another side of stepmothers."

"The plot of this musical is very compact and full of twists and turns. You will know it when you read the script. Its plot is completely different from the fairy tales we read when we were children."

After hearing Fang Xieyue's words, Xiao Xian and the other two became more curious and hurriedly lowered their heads to continue reading the script.

As they read more, Xiao Xian and the other two felt more and more the unique charm of this musical.

It not only subverts the image of stepmothers in fairy tales, but also allows people to see the complexity and diversity of stepmothers' inner selves.

A few minutes later, the three of them looked up at Fang Xieyue with complicated expressions.

This...completely overturned their understanding of these three fairy tales.

Xiao Xian said with emotion: "Xiaoyueliang, I don't know what's wrong with your brain. You can actually write such a...wonderful plot!"

Her eyes were full of appreciation and admiration.

The plot design of this musical short play is very clever. It reinterprets the image of stepmother in fairy tales from a unique perspective, giving people a refreshing feeling.

"Yes, I really admire you!" Wang Tingting said excitedly: "This plot is really wonderful, I can't wait to see it performed on the stage!"

She was amazed by Fang Xieyue's creativity and imagination, and she believed that the musical would cause a sensation.

"Xiaoyue, you are really amazing!" Xu Manting said, not to be outdone: "I think this musical will be a great success!"

She is full of confidence in Fang Xieyue and believes that this work will be warmly welcomed by the audience.

Fang Xieyue felt a little embarrassed by their praise.

She doesn't deserve this praise!

Fang Xieyue said modestly: "Actually, I am just thinking about these fairy tales from another perspective.

I don’t think stepmothers are inherently evil, they also have their own stories and emotions.”

"So I want to use this musical to let everyone see the other side of those stepmothers, and also let everyone have a new understanding of fairy tales."

Xiao Xian and the other two nodded in agreement.

They think Fang Xieyue's ideas are very novel and profound.

This musical is not only an entertainment work, but also a thoughtful and profound work of art.

"But there are so few lyrics for the role of Cinderella's stepsister. It feels a bit unsatisfying." Xu Manting pouted.

Fang Xieyue laughed, "Although Cinderella's two stepsisters have few lyrics, they have a lot of scenes. The focus of their scenes is on their expressions and movements."
