Chapter 67: Folk Music Band

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It took Yu Su and the others an entire day and a half to prepare the script and props.

The script was a familiar story of “Nezha’s Ruckus of the Sea”. Yu Su and the others used sulfuric acid paper with good light penetration and a certain hardness to make the prop characters.

The work of drawing these characters and setting accessories was undertaken by Ding Chen, who had learned art. Everyone would cut the sulfuric acid paper that Ding Chen had drawn and carve them using cutting and carving knives. Finally, they would punch holes in the joints of the characters and insert fine iron wires. Then, they could use these iron wires to move the characters.

“Now, there’s only the controls of these characters and the soundtrack,” Xiao Han said as he looked at the props on the table.

Yu Su nodded. “Now, the sound of the scene will be simulated by the ventriloquist. We just have to settle the soundtrack.”

“Can you ask the director if we could borrow their speakers?” Ding Chen looked at everyone.

Yu Su shook her head. “We don’t have enough manpower to begin with. We can’t spare anyone to play background music.”

…..

Meng Xi saw that everyone was frowning and thought of a solution. “Should we ask everyone in the village for help?”

Xiao Han and Yu Su turned to look at her at the same time. Their burning gazes shocked her.

Meng Xi stammered, “What, what’s wrong?”

“Meng Xi, you’re a genius! This idea is awesome!” Yu Su hugged Meng Xi happily. “When the time comes, we can teach everyone how to control the characters and also ask the folk music band in the village to help with the music!”

Xiao Han smiled and agreed. “Meng Xi’s idea is very good. This way, the villagers will watch more seriously when they see people they know participate in the performance.”

For the past two days, they had been walking around the village. Most of the villagers could not recognize their faces that often appeared online.

It could be seen that the elderly and children in the village did not chase after celebrities, nor did they like to watch pop songs on television. If they wanted to win the villagers’ favor, they could only use the psychology of the crowd to make the villagers feel involved.

While the few of them were busy, the number of viewers in the live-stream increased unknowingly. The comments gradually turned into [Immersive Watching Handicrafting].

That’s right. The netizens treated Yu Su and the others’ hard work in preparing the program props as handicraft.

[Although this scene reminds me of kindergarten children, I’m still looking forward to this shadow puppetry.]

[I’m also looking forward to it. I quite like Yu Su and the others’ method of combining the past and present. It’s novel.]

While the netizens were discussing fervently, Yu Su and the others had already gone to the village to find the village chief. After telling the village chief about this, the village chief immediately expressed his support happily.

He even introduced the folk music band in the village to Yu Su and the others.

Yu Su and the other three met the folk music band for the first time and both of them were a little surprised.

Yu Su and the others did not expect that the members of the folk music band were all old people. The old people did not expect that the people they were collaborating with this time would be such young people.

“Old Yu, are these the people we are collaborating with this time?” The captain of the folk music band, Uncle Wang, had a look of disbelief.

The village chief, Old Yu nodded with a smile. “That’s right. It’s these four young people who want to cooperate with you!”

“This, this, this! Young lady, are you really planning to cooperate with us? And the kind that’s on television?” Uncle Wang’s tone was surprised.

Yu Su said to him in an affirmative tone, “Yes, Master. We’re here to cooperate with you this time!”

“Actually, not only did we look for you, but we also looked for the children in the village to help!” Meng Xi added.

After receiving an affirmative answer, not only was Uncle Wang pleasantly surprised, but the elders of the entire folk music band were also very excited.

Uncle Wang’s eyes subconsciously filled with tears. As he wiped his tears, he said, “Thank you, young lady. Being on television is my lifelong dream with my old friends. I originally thought that I would never have the chance in my life. 1 didn’t expect it to be realized today. Thank you so much!”

Xiao Han and Ding Chen held Uncle Wang from the left and right, stopping him from bowing to them.

Xiao Han said softly, “Sir, you don’t have to be like this. Folk music is an outstanding traditional culture. It’s our honor to be able to obtain the help of you and the other elders this time..”
