Abigail's high heels hit the marble floor, making crisp and frequent sounds.
Lanqi and Talia were confused and followed Abigail's steps, walking through the aisles inside the theater.
In addition to the main stage, the opera house also has many supporting facilities such as rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms, costume and prop production workshops.
Sometimes they turned into a long and deep passage, and sometimes they crossed a wide and bright hall.
The staff members they met on the road nodded to Abigail.
Finally, a gray door appeared before our eyes.
"Please come in."
Abigail pushed the door open with ease and motioned for Lanqi and Talia to come in.
"Thank you."
Ranchi and Talia greeted.
By now they probably figured it out.
Sure enough, Mafia leader Barton Hall's face is very useful.
Directly arranged a meeting with Abigail for them.
Abigail knew enough to talk to them both alone, so she eagerly brought them over.
Then, the two walked into a spacious and orderly room.
The room was brightly lit, with mirrors covering three walls. In front of the mirrors were displayed all kinds of cosmetics, wigs, and small props, which were dazzling and overwhelming. In the middle of the room were several leather chairs with soft cushions.
"Uh, Miss Abigail..."
Lanqi looked at the busy room in astonishment, pointed ahead and asked Abigail.
But Abigail had no time to pay attention to him. She quickly greeted the two teachers and gave them a brief explanation.
"Come here quickly, what are you still standing there for?"
The beautician nodded in understanding and immediately started to get busy.
They first dragged Lanci and Talia to sit in front of the mirror, and skillfully used the brushes, sponges and powder puffs in their hands to outline new contours on their faces.
The liquid foundation shimmers with a soft luster under the light, and the eye shadow and blush complement each other, like paint in the hands of an artist, making Talia's facial features more bright.
As for men's makeup, it is about being visible and seamless. There is no need to use eye shadow. Just use the remaining contour powder to modify the lower eye area. It is much faster to put on than Talia.
"Perfect. Your natural temperament and figure are like a prince and princess. You don't need much modification to feel that you fit the characters perfectly."
Abigail looked at them with satisfaction and said confidently and contentedly.
She realized from the first glance that the actors her friend found for her were far better than she had imagined.
The two sat in front of the mirror with confused looks on their faces while the staff of the Brillda Opera House quickly put on their makeup. Someone behind them brought over performance costumes wrapped in non-woven dress bags, waiting for the makeup artist to finish work and complete their look.
"and many more."
Lanqi immediately realized that something was wrong, and turned around with his right hand on the back of the chair.
Were they chatting with Abigail across servers just now?!
"If you have any questions, I will try my best to satisfy you after the performance."
Abigail looked at Lanqi's nervous look and clasped her hands together and said begging.
She knew that such a temporary rescue performance would test the actors' skills and heart, but now she could only trust that the actors her friends found for her were reliable enough.
After all, they just said that they were introduced by a friend, so she definitely didn't recognize the wrong person.
The entire makeup process was smooth and orderly. Lanqi and Talia felt like they were in a dream. Before they could react, the makeup artists completed the final touches and urged them to change their clothes.
"No, we..."
Lanqi felt like there was something stuck in his throat. He now realized that the problem seemed a little serious.
"Aren't you actors introduced to me by my friends?"
Abigail observed Lanqi and Talia's expressions a little hesitantly.
Her heartbeat rose and fell with her breathing, and was visibly speeding up.
"what?"
Talia was also dumbfounded.
She seemed to have heard that the choreography of stage plays was very intense.
Could it be that the leading actor of this scene had a sudden health problem, and Abigail was looking for friends to help out, and then she mistook them for actors introduced by her friends?
"Ah what? Isn't it?"
Abigail looked at the man and woman in front of her suspiciously.
Everything went wrong tonight. If these two people were playing a trick on her, she was about to explode.
As the show was about to start, she no longer had time to arrange the actors!
"us……"
Abigail's face suddenly turned darker, as if she was going to kill them, causing Ranch and Talia's words that were about to be explained to be stuck in their throats.
Given Abigail's temper and condition, if I explain the situation now and ask to talk to her alone, she will just angrily block me and drive me away forever.
corresponding.
Crisis or opportunity, it all depends on one thought!
"We are the actors you are looking for, that's right."
Under the pressure of the situation, Lanqi and Talia agreed even though they were sweating profusely.
Chapter 753: Talia doesn't remember the words at all
More than ten minutes later.
The back of the curtain on the main stage of the Brillda Opera House.
The space was dimly lit, with spare props and decorations piled up in the corners, and only a few small lights emitting faint light.
On the floor covered with fire-proof carpet, several staff members in beige work clothes were hurrying back and forth.
As the sound of the foreground faded, the staff confirmed that the stage was ready using a short-range intercom device, then nodded to the actors.
All of a sudden, the orchestra played the prelude, and the music gradually came through the curtain. A beam of light hit the edge of the curtain, illuminating the steps.
Even backstage, you can hear the sounds from the stage.
"Lan, Lanqi, what should I do?"
At this moment, the male and female protagonists, Lanci and Talia, were dressed up and were flipping through the script without paying attention to the people coming and going around them.
If it helps Abigail.
Perhaps her favorability will become very high, and whether it is to discuss with her alone or the subsequent matters, it will be mostly successful.
But now they all realized how difficult it was to agree to this.
"Just remember as much as you can. Luckily we have read the original novel, and this adaptation is just one chapter."
Lanqi responded without even looking up.
Even though the show has already started.
But it’s not their turn yet.
The story takes place during the Holy War of the Protoss Empire.
First, some historical context.
At the time of the Cinderella story, the holy war had not yet begun, the historical figure Franklin the Great was far from rising, and the current world pattern had not yet been formed.
At that time, the Protoss Empire and the Demon Realm also had diplomatic relations. Because the Protoss Empire was relatively backward and the Demon Realm was extremely developed, in the Protoss Empire at that time, each demon had a lofty status.
The heroine of the story is a human girl, and the hero is the demon governor who was sent to guide the planning and development of this province.
The heroine, Gray Girl, was originally the apple of the eye of a noble family in the Protoss Empire. After her father passed away, she was treated as a servant by her stepmother and sisters, who made things difficult for her in every way.
Although life is hard, she still remains kind and optimistic.
One day, the governor held a grand banquet and invited local nobles from the province to attend and discuss future development matters.
The Gray Girl was qualified to go, but her stepmother and sister laughed at her, forbade her to go and made her do all the housework. The Gray Girl could only hide in a corner and cry sadly.
At this time, the kind-hearted Cupid cat appeared.
It is the most magical cat in the world. It uses cards to turn into a gorgeous carriage, and the pigeons become coachmen and servants. It gives the gray girl a dress and a pair of magic shoes and allows her to attend the party.
But the Gray Girl must come back before the clock strikes midnight, otherwise the magic will fail.
At the banquet, the gray girl and the governor met. At first, the demon governor thought that this stunningly beautiful human woman was just a fool with nothing but beauty, and wanted to tease her. However, in the end, he was confused by the clever gray girl. The governor unexpectedly discovered that this gray-haired girl was a talented woman, and he had a good chat with her without realizing it.
When the clock struck 12, the Gray Girl almost forgot, and in her haste to escape, she accidentally dropped one of her magic shoes. The Governor was at a loss, and he could only find this magic shoe, but it weighed a thousand pounds, and no woman could wear it and walk normally.
The gradually defeated governor decided to search the entire province for the owner of the shoe.
One morning, the stepmother locked the gray girl in the attic. The sister tried the magic shoes but could not move.
With the help of the God of Love Cat, the Gray Girl came before the Governor and put on the magic shoes easily.
So she was taken back to the Governor's Mansion by the Governor, which led to the final scene where the Gray Girl received the Governor's passionate confession of love.
The story is strictly based on the background of the times.
Since the ancient Protoss Empire learned a lot of knowledge from the demon world, and was ruled and built by the demons after its defeat many years later, many demon heritages are preserved in its territory. The indelible demon world style can be seen from the construction of the later imperial capital Helrom.
The Protoss can neither forgive the demons nor separate themselves from their traces, as if it were an eternal entanglement.
But that's all for later.
When the story of "Holy War Romance" begins, there is no war yet, and the demons and the Protoss are still on good terms.
However, if humans and demons at that time accidentally fell in love, what awaited them in the future would be a bumpy road full of snow, wind and thorns...
"I understand the plot, but how should I act it?"
