My super cowardly system

Chapter 156 Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai (Second Change)
He Xiaofan's grandfather now feels that his whole head hurts.

The village chief is usually fine all year round, so why did he fall ill at this critical time?
In the end, he recovered from his illness, but he had to take over the mess of New Year's program planning.

"Hey, what do you think the village chief is doing wrong? Why does he have to put on this shit show every year? Where does he ask me to give him the whole show now?"

He Xiaofan looked at his grandfather who was sitting in the main seat at home, rubbing his forehead, his brows were almost wrinkled.

Suddenly, Grandpa looked at He Xiaofan and He Wenjing, and said, "By the way, Xiaofan, Jingjing, aren't you all college students? Do you have any good ideas, come up with one for Grandpa?"

He Xiaofan twitched his mouth when he heard this, and said, "Grandpa, it's not that I don't want to help you think, but that every year's shows in this village are organized by a group of old men. The shows you perform every year, I don't even think about it. I’ve never heard of it, it’s a bit out of date for this age.”

The elder sister also nodded at the side, and said, "Yes, yes, it's not that we don't want to help you, but that there is nothing we can do."

"Sigh." Grandpa suddenly sighed, and said, "How can I compare with the old village chief? It seems that this year's program can only be cancelled."

The grandma said with some confusion: "The cultural tradition in our village has lasted for decades. It would be bad if it was suddenly canceled this year."

Grandpa said helplessly: "But the key old man, I can't think of a show. In our village, the only one who understands this is the old man the village chief."

At this moment, the eyes of grandpa, grandma, sister, and parents all looked at He Xiaofan together.

He Xiaofan scratched his head vigorously, only felt that his head was big.

Why are you looking at me like that? I really can't think of a show.

At this moment, He Xiaofan suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and asked: "How about we put on a stage play? I remember that a few years ago, the village chief grandpa also put on a stage play?"

"Stage play?" Grandpa was stunned for a moment, and said, "It's possible, but we don't have a script."

He Xiaofan smiled, and said: "I'll figure out the script, but my script may need some group performances and props, and it may require several rehearsals."

"I'll take care of the group performances, props and venue." My sister patted her chest and said.

Grandpa also said: "Then I will go and inform the people in the village that our program will go on as normal on the third day of the first lunar month."

Grandma said: "Then I will be responsible for going outside to buy some delicious food."

The group of people had a clear division of labor, and He Xiaofan also returned to his room to start writing the script.

The reason why he suggested that this event should be a stage play is because he saw some interesting stage plays in the room on the second floor of the Tower of Trials last time.

Among them, the one he found most interesting was a stage play called "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai".

The main content is about: a woman named Zhu Yingtai, who likes to recite poems and books, wanted to study abroad, but women at that time could not show their faces outside, so she disguised herself as a man with the girl Yinxin and went to Yuezhou City to study.

During this period, she got acquainted with the scholar Liang Shanbo, and the two hit it off right away, so they went to Yuezhou together.

Then they fell in love with each other day and night, but when Liang Shanbo was about to come to propose marriage, another person took the lead. Liang Shanbo finally left with a broken heart, fell in love with each other, and died in depression.

When Zhu Yingtai paid homage to the tomb, suddenly there was heavy wind and rain, and the tomb of Liang Shanbo was split open. Seeing this, Zhu Yingtai jumped in without hesitation, the tomb closed again immediately, and soon flew out of the tomb A pair of inseparable butterflies
Although this is a poignant story, the plot may even feel a bit old-fashioned when used in the present, but it does not affect its influence on the culture of another world.

When He Xiaofan saw this folk love story, he was immediately attracted by this story, so it is absolutely feasible to make it appear as a stage play today.

However, after the script was written, he couldn't help but start to think deeply, who should play the leading role of Liang Shanbo?

After all, it is a poignant love story of young people, so young people should be cast in it, but most of the people in this village are old and middle-aged, or just a group of children. Where can we find young people?
It's impossible to let him, the screenwriter, act as the leading actor.

However, although Liang Shanbo and He Xiaofan didn't know who would be better to play the role, he had already had an idea in his mind about the candidate for the role of Zhu Yingtai.

Pushing open the door, He Xiaofan came to Grandpa Sun's house next door, Shu Yun was holding a water bottle, standing in front of the flower garden watering the flowers.

He Xiaofan knocked on the door, and Shu Yun looked over with curiosity.

"Do you have time? I want to discuss something with you." He Xiaofan said with a smile.

That's right, the person he was looking for to play the role of Zhu Yingtai this time was Shu Yun, the granddaughter of Grandpa Sun's family next door.

Regardless of age or appearance, Shu Yun can definitely take on the role of Zhu Yingtai, and the most important thing is Shu Yun's temperament, which is really similar to Zhu Yingtai's temperament in the script.

After listening to He Xiaofan's narration, Shu Yun smiled lightly and said, "I have no problem playing Zhu Yingtai, but I have one condition."

He Xiaofan froze for a moment, then said: "Tell me, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to satisfy you."

"I want you to play Liang Shanbo." Shu Yun said.

"Uh." He Xiaofan's expression changed, and he said helplessly, "But I'm a screenwriter, so there's no reason for a screenwriter to be the leading actor."

Shu Yun said: "But there is no rule that screenwriters cannot be leading actors."

"Can't you ask for anything else?" He Xiaofan asked.

Shu Yun shook her head.

He Xiaofan thought for a while, and asked curiously, "Why do you have to play the male lead?"

Without hesitation, she said straightforwardly, "Because I'm afraid that others will take advantage of me, and I don't trust other people."

"Um." He Xiaofan said with a speechless expression, "It's just a stage play, no one will take advantage of you."

However, Shu Yun shook her head again, expressing that she just didn't trust others.

He Xiaofan continued: "Even if I play Liang Shanbo, how do you know that I won't take advantage of you?"

Shu Yun was taken aback when she heard the words, thought for a while, and said, "If you want to take advantage of me, you can."

He Xiaofan: "???"

As if realizing that there was something wrong with her statement, she immediately changed her words: "I mean, your house is next door, if you take advantage of me, I can go to your house and tell your family immediately, so you dare not. "

He Xiaofan sighed, looked at Shu Yun helplessly, and said, "Okay, I'll think about what you said, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

Shu Yun nodded and said softly, "Yes."
