At two o 'clock in the afternoon, the performance officially began.
For the students and alumni of Jiangzhou University, this was a grand event.
But for Zhang Jue, this was an unexpected disaster.
Encountering such an event during a vacation, he couldn't eat or sleep well. Most importantly, there was no overtime pay.
It was like seeing a ghost.
And the most shocked people were the actors who had been rehearsing for a long time. They couldn't accept Zhang Jue's participation.
For this performance, they had been rehearsing for more than half a year. Changing the script at the last minute and letting a stranger who had never studied acting to join was tantamount to ruining the entire play.
"Teacher Zhang, what should we do?"
"Teacher Zhang, why is it like this? Did we do something wrong?"
"Teacher Zhang …"
Zhang Shijia couldn't explain to his classmates why he let Zhang Jue join because he didn't know the truth.
"Charlie's Revenge" was adapted from SCP-701's "Elegy of the Constrictor King". It was a five-act revenge drama that took place in the 17th century. The entire script roughly told a story like this:
A king (Sfu) was on his way back to the city from a hunting trip. He was drugged by his younger brother (Zaro) with poisonous wine and hanged on a tree. As Sfu didn't have any children, Zaro naturally became the next king and married the original queen, Isabella, as the new queen.
During the coronation ceremony, the drunk queen, Isabella, confessed to a minister. She told him that King Sfu didn't die of natural causes, but was murdered by Zaro. She and Sfu originally had a child, a noble who came to attend the ceremony — Charlie.
When Charlie heard this, he didn't believe it at first. But after he returned home, he had a dream. He dreamed of the dead King Sfu, and the king confirmed Isabella's words to him. (The real performance was him narrating his dream to the servant, so the king didn't appear.)
Charlie prepared to take revenge and take back his throne.
Zaro knew that Isabella betrayed him, so he locked her up and planned to poison all the ministers who heard about it. So, he held another banquet.
Charlie went through difficulties and dangers to save his mother, Isabella. He arrived at the banquet and exposed Zaro's scheme.
After the ministers learned of this, they hanged Zaro and elected Charlie as the new king.
The student who played the main character, Charlie, was called Li Ou. He was a fair-skinned student, and he was particularly dissatisfied with the addition of Zhang Jue.
"Teacher Zhang, the plot of the entire drama is actually very simple. There aren't many main characters, and Mr. Zhang only joined at the last minute. What is his identity? What about the lines? This is not something that can be done in one or two hours! "
The students were hot-blooded and didn't know the importance of Zhang Jue to the school, so their words were a little harsh.
Zhang Shijia also had these questions, but he couldn't answer them. He looked at Zhang Jue for help.
Zhang Jue was picking out his costume in the props room. Feeling their gazes, he turned around and smiled at all the students.
"First of all, I want to explain to you that I didn't join at the last minute to ruin your efforts, but to help you complete it better. As for my identity, I will play the role of the dead king."
Here, Zhang Jue was telling the truth. If he didn't participate and didn't have his' magic immunity effect ', all the audience and actors would have committed suicide or killed people halfway through the show due to mental disorder.
"As for the lines, you don't have to worry. I will exist on the stage as a ghost. I will try my best not to have any interactions with the characters you are playing."
Zhang Jue's expression was calm. It was as if adding a character at the last minute was as simple as eating breakfast.
Emotions were contagious. When one person felt uneasy, others around them would also feel uneasy.
When you were full of confidence, others would also feel that this matter was not so difficult.
This was why Yang Xue always felt that Zhang Jue's smile was magical. It was because Zhang Jue was always trustworthy. As long as he was there, you would feel that there was no problem that couldn't be solved.
At four o 'clock in the afternoon, the performance of "Charlie's Revenge" officially kicked off.

As the finale of the performance, the school had high hopes for "Charlie's Revenge".
It had to be said that this was also related to Zhang Shijia.
