The Prince's Beloved Little Wife

When Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han entered the kitchen, they were greeted by a bustling scene. Everyone was working diligently and methodically at their respective posts. Chen Mengyao was very satisfied with this, nodded slightly in acknowledgment, and then left.

Next, Chen Mengyao went to the garden to check on the stage setup. She found that the stage was basically completed, looking both beautiful and sturdy, and couldn't help but admire the efficiency of the guards.

She took out a large speaker and four microphones, as well as some small coat microphones, from the space so that the performers on stage could clearly project their voices and ensure that everyone could hear them. She tested all the microphones on the spot and found that the effect was excellent, with loud and clear sound. Satisfied, she left and instructed the guards to take good care of the equipment.

Afterwards, Chen Mengyao sent WeChat messages to the servants in the villa, asking them to move some tables and chairs to the garden stage. Next, she sent messages to everyone who was preparing to perform, asking them to submit their performances so that she could arrange the program and select four hosts to submit the program.

In addition, Chen Mengyao asked if anyone would like to be the host, requiring a lively personality and the ability to create a fun atmosphere. Many young men and women enthusiastically signed up, making it difficult for Chen Mengyao to make a decision. Finally, she asked them to vote to see who was the most popular.

After a round of voting, four hosts were selected. Chen Mengyao also stated that she needed other staff members, and anyone interested in participating could contact her directly. She asked the four hosts and those who wanted to participate to meet at her courtyard later, and left the address of the courtyard.

Finally, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han returned to the courtyard together, waiting for the others to arrive.

After returning to the courtyard, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han busied themselves preparing to welcome the arriving staff and host. They tidied the courtyard meticulously before sitting down together to wait. While waiting, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han discussed their plans. They decided to set up a temporary rest area on the stage so the performers could rest and prepare between performances. Chen Mengyao immediately instructed the guards to prepare the necessary materials, reminding them to be careful.

Before long, those eager to participate in the performances began submitting their programs to Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han via WeChat. Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han were extremely busy, carefully recording each program and meticulously checking them, afraid of missing any wonderful performances.

After collecting the registration information, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han immediately threw themselves into the follow-up work. After careful consideration and meticulous planning, they finally successfully created an extremely detailed schedule and a scientifically reasonable performance order. This plan was meticulous, taking into full account the time, personnel allocation, stage setup, and other aspects required for each stage, aiming to ensure that the entire gala could proceed smoothly and in an orderly manner.

At the same time, they also painstakingly compiled a series of important documents, including a complete program, a list of performers, and a list of hosts. This information not only helps staff better understand the overall structure of the event but also allows participants to know their performance time and related details in advance.

After everything was ready, Chen Mengyao entered the space, turned on her computer, connected to the printer, and printed out multiple clear and readable documents from the various materials she had previously prepared. These documents would be distributed to every participant and the many audience members when the gala officially began, allowing everyone to have a more intuitive understanding of the wonderful program content that would be presented at the gala.

In addition, Chen Mengyao has prepared a considerable number of attractive prizes to reward the actors who have performed exceptionally well. Regarding the selection of judges, she already has a preliminary idea – she will invite highly respected ministers from the imperial court, as well as the revered Crown Prince Wen, to assume this important role. She believes that with the fair and impartial judgment of these authoritative figures, the gala will be a complete success!

At the same time, the meticulous Chen Mengyao turned her attention to the profound impact of lighting effects on the overall stage atmosphere. After careful consideration, she resolutely decided to meticulously decorate the area above the stage, significantly enhancing its visual impact and artistic appeal by installing a series of colorful and dazzling lights.

Without hesitation, Chen Mengyao swiftly and methodically retrieved a multitude of eye-catching items from her spatial storage: colorful lights twinkled like stars; light and airy balloon wreaths bloomed with vibrant colors like flowers in a dreamlike fairyland; numerous video recorders, each with different functions, lay quietly waiting to capture every wonderful moment; in addition, all sorts of props and a dazzling array of musical instruments were also brought out and neatly arranged to the side, ready for the performers to fully showcase their extraordinary talents when they took the stage.

Not only that, Chen Mengyao also conceived a highly creative and meaningful idea—to record this unforgettable performance in its entirety and store it all on a small yet high-capacity USB drive. After the performance concluded successfully, she would distribute this invaluable video footage to all those who attended, preserving it as a lasting memento. However, realizing this beautiful plan was no easy task, as she clearly couldn't operate all the complex and advanced machinery alone. Therefore, the clever and resourceful Chen Mengyao decisively began searching for suitable and reliable people to assist in operating and managing these crucial machines.

After a while, people began to arrive one after another. Chen Mengyao patiently waited for everyone to gather, and then methodically explained to them her detailed requirements for the staff she needed.

First, she emphasized the crucial role of lighting effects, requiring dedicated personnel to oversee them. This person must not only possess a deep understanding of various lighting fixtures and their application but also demonstrate excellent practical skills, enabling them to quickly adjust the lighting atmosphere to suit different scenarios. Similarly, the sound equipment is equally important; the person in charge must be proficient in the tuning and matching of various audio equipment to ensure clear, pleasant, and layered sound, thereby enhancing the overall impact of the performance. The person in charge of the video camera is even more critical; they must be skilled in using the recording equipment and possess keen observation and rapid reaction abilities to accurately capture every brilliant moment.

Furthermore, Chen Mengyao specifically pointed out that the positions responsible for lighting effects, sound equipment, and video recorders can only be filled by individuals who are passionate about technical skills, possess exceptional hands-on abilities, and have a high level of comprehension. Even the slightest mistake could affect the quality and impact of the entire performance.

She then mentioned another indispensable role—the person responsible for providing props to the performers. This type of person needs to be quite quick-witted, good at reading between the lines, able to accurately perceive the performers' needs, and quickly hand over the appropriate props at crucial moments to ensure the smoothness and continuity of the performance.

After Chen Mengyao laid out these strict requirements, the previously enthusiastic crowd quieted down considerably, with many looking hesitant and considering backing out. However, after some screening and consideration, Chen Mengyao ultimately selected a few qualified individuals from among the applicants to take on the important task. Naturally, the person responsible for providing the props was also successfully chosen.

As for the others who weren't selected, Chen Mengyao didn't let them go empty-handed. She arranged for them to take the colorful balloons and beautiful wreaths back to the garden to carefully decorate the venue, and also to help move tables, chairs, and other items, making thorough preparations for the upcoming event.

She turned around with a smile and softly said to the group of people who had stayed behind to help, "Please follow me!" Then she led the way towards the garden. The others followed her, and soon they arrived in the garden.

She gently put down the bag of colored lights she was carrying, then carefully opened it. A dazzling array of colorful lights in various shapes and sizes instantly appeared before everyone's eyes. Next, she took out a string of small, exquisite lights and patiently began to explain to everyone how to install and arrange them.

"First, we need to find a suitable location, such as hanging the string of lights on a tree branch or surrounding a flower bed," she said, demonstrating as she went, her movements gentle and practiced. The others watched her intently, nodding occasionally to show they understood.

Then she picked up another string of colored lights and continued to demonstrate different installation methods. Some needed to be tied tightly with rope, while others could be directly inserted into the ground... In this way, she patiently repeated the same steps again and again until everyone had basically mastered them.

Besides the colored lights, there was also the sound equipment that needed setting up. She walked over to where the speakers were, squatted down, and carefully checked the wiring connections to make sure everything was working properly. After confirming everything was correct, she stood up and pointed to the various buttons and ports on the speakers, explaining in detail the function of each button and how to adjust the volume, switch music tracks, and so on.

Under her careful guidance, those who were initially clueless about these tasks gradually became adept at them. Working together, they busied themselves methodically, following her instructions. In no time, the entire garden was adorned with dazzling colored lights, transforming it into a dreamlike wonderland. Coupled with melodious music, it was an utterly captivating experience.

Furthermore, she demonstrated immense patience in teaching the operation and use of the video recorder, meticulously instructing those selected and possessing the necessary talent. She first personally demonstrated how to correctly turn on the recorder and the functions of each button. Next, she explained step-by-step how to adjust key aspects such as focus, shooting angle, and screen brightness. Moreover, she shared practical shooting techniques, such as how to capture fleeting moments in dynamic scenes or how to utilize different lighting conditions to create unique visual effects. Throughout the teaching process, she maintained a gentle and approachable attitude, encouraging everyone to ask questions and practice actively to ensure that everyone truly mastered the essentials of using the video recorder.

Chen Mengyao put in a lot of effort regarding the crucial role of the host. She first carefully analyzed the personal style and strengths of each host, and then meticulously assigned specific and clear responsibilities to them based on these characteristics. Furthermore, Chen Mengyao thoughtfully provided each host with valuable advice, which served as a guiding light, illuminating their path forward.

Chen Mengyao eagerly anticipates that these hosts will fully showcase their unique charm, ignite the enthusiasm of the audience with their distinctive hosting styles, and gradually push the atmosphere of the entire evening to a thrilling and exciting climax!

Finally, Chen Mengyao solemnly explained all the details to the guards. She was well aware of the importance of this event and the various potential risks involved, so she dared not be careless in any detail.

"You must always pay attention to the movement of the crowd to ensure that everyone can watch the performance in an orderly manner. If anyone tries to cut in line or causes chaos, you must stop them immediately!" Chen Mengyao's sharp gaze swept over the guards in front of her, her tone firm and serious.

Then, pointing to the various entrances and exits of the venue, she said, "Here and there, we need to assign dedicated personnel to guard them and strictly control the entry and exit of people. For performers, we need to clearly tell them which side they should go on stage from and which side they should come off stage from. We absolutely cannot let them take the wrong route, which could lead to the situation getting out of control."

Chen Mengyao paused, then emphasized slightly as she continued, "Most importantly, you must remain highly vigilant at all times, paying close attention to your surroundings. No unusual situation can be overlooked; even the slightest disturbance must be detected and addressed swiftly. Only in this way can we ensure the smooth progress of this operation without any unforeseen circumstances!" The guards assured her they would follow her instructions.

With everything meticulously arranged and in perfect order, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han both breathed a sigh of relief. They stood side by side, their gazes lingering on the spacious and bustling garden. The garden was teeming with people, many figures bustling about, each face beaming with excitement or anticipation.

Looking at the bustling scene before them, Chen Mengyao and Ouyang Han felt a strong sense of accomplishment. It would not only leave unforgettable memories for everyone involved, but also potentially become a shining highlight in the long history of this ancient town.

For Chen Mengyao, this gala was especially significant—it was her first time organizing such a large-scale event in this distant ancient society! Despite facing numerous unknown challenges, she remained steadfast in her belief, hoping that everything would proceed smoothly and without setbacks…
