Chapter 258: The Power of Saccharin
Chapter 258: The Power of Saccharin
As the troublemaker who disrupted the play exited with his wealthy family fortune, the male and female leads finally fulfilled their agreement, and the first act of The Twelve-Day Tour finally came to a bumpy conclusion.
Following the "one act, one intermission" principle of dramatic staging, the three thousand audience members were briefly released before the start of the second act. However, before they could regain their senses, the entire first act's plot began to flash through everyone's minds.
"There are still twelve days left... After twelve days, I will no longer be a free man but a caged bird soaring in an unfamiliar prison..."
"That's Agatha, the waitress at the Dockside Tavern, the dream of all men in Ankara..."
"Mr. Elijah, if you wish to tour Ankara, you'll likely need a local guide."
"..."
Up until the male and female leads' conversation at the tavern, The Twelve-Day Tour was still following the original plot. But then, a flamboyantly dressed "Peacock Man" rudely intruded into everyone's vision, causing a drastic change in the style of The Twelve-Day Tour.
"This is not right. If you truly love a rose, let it bloom freely in the garden!"
"Even if everyone laughs at me, it's worth it if it makes my rose smile."
"My grandmother has also been very ill lately. The old lady wants me to get married soon..."
"Master Joseph, your grandmother... she spanked someone's buttocks until they were swollen..."
As "Mr. Joseph" continued to act unpredictably, the souls of the three thousand audience members began to tremble slightly. Originally, all their attention was focused on the center of the stage, but now, a large portion had turned a bright yellow, matching the yellow hair of "Mr. Joseph."
...
Two and a half... He had managed to sway so many people in one go?
Watching the three thousand audience members faint and collapse in the theater, the King of Drama standing on stage couldn't help but gasp, realizing that the situation seemed to be slipping out of his control.
Although he was the creator of the dramatic world, the true foundation supporting its existence wasn't solely his power but the love for drama held by the three thousand souls in the Central Cross Theatre.
That damn "Mr. Joseph" had first disrupted the genuine tavern encounter and then stole a significant portion of the male and female leads' screen time, forcibly grabbing the attention of the three thousand audience members.
What's worse, as the foundation of the dramatic world, the "inclination" of these three thousand audience members' souls represented control over the The Twelve-Day Tour dramatic world.
Since two and a half of the audience had already identified with the character of "Mr. Joseph" and were anticipating his next move, it meant that the King of Drama, who originally had complete control, now had only seven and a half of it left. That damn "Mr. Joseph" had successfully claimed a large part of his own dramatic world!
The King of Drama, sensing the gravity of the situation, immediately immersed his consciousness into the dramatic world to guard against "Mr. Joseph."
The first thing to do was to prevent him from further disturbing the male and female leads' interactions!
As a relatively traditional romantic comedy, The Twelve-Day Tour, written by the King of Drama, followed the classic four-act structure: the first act introduced the background and the initial encounter, the second act developed the plot and the growing affection, the third act marked the darkest moment, and the fourth act concluded with a climax and resolution.
In the dramatic world of The Twelve-Day Tour, this translated to the male and female leads' meeting at the tavern, their subsequent time together in the small town, Agatha's capture, and the male lead Elijah's dilemma between his love's safety and his own happiness in Love and Freedom. The final act was The Wedding of the Cage Bird, where Elijah discovers his love is his fiancee, leading to a happy ending for all.
The first act, First Encounter at the Pub, had already been ruined by "Mr. Joseph." If Elijah's affection for Agatha didn't reach the point of sacrificing his freedom for her in the second act, Touring the Small Town, the pivotal Love and Freedom act might turn into Love and Yellow Hair!
No! This couldn't be allowed to happen!
As the King of Drama gnashed his teeth in frustration outside the drama, and "Mr. Joseph" continued his chaotic antics within it, the second act of The Twelve-Day Tour—Touring the Small Town—began to spiral out of control!
"Mr. Elijah, if you want to talk about Ankara's most beautiful scenery, it has to be the night beach and the bonfire on the shore..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, the night beach has been booked by Mr. Joseph for a grand fireworks display dedicated to his beloved, Miss Agatha!"
"Hello, everyone, nice to meet you again~"
"..."
"Mr. Elijah, apart from the fireworks... I mean, apart from the beach bonfire, there's also the old seaside amusement park, where they hold masquerade balls..."
"Ladies and gentlemen! The seaside amusement park has been booked by Mr. Joseph, who will personally host a masquerade ball in honor of his beloved, Miss Agatha!"
"Hello, everyone, nice to meet you again and again~"
"Or how about the residence of the great painter Amien..."
"Ladies and gentlemen... Mr. Joseph has booked it... and will personally give a tour!"
"Hello, everyone, nice to meet you again and again~"
"..."
"Or Green Shell Mountain isn't bad either, where..."
"Ladies and gentlemen... it's been booked..."
"Hello, everyone, nice to meet you again and again~"
"..."
Watching as the small town was on the verge of becoming "Joseph's Manor," the King of Drama, who had personally provided Leon with the means to commit his crimes, realized...
At this moment, it really can't hold back any longer.
Damn it! Wherever they go, you're just following them, right? Apart from directly smashing money, can't you use some other method?
"Love is like a vintage photo; it will eventually fade."
After taking photos of everyone on stage except for Agatha, "Mr. Joseph" personally... had others draw Agatha, sticking her next to the photos, filled with deep emotion, he said:
"Only you can remain beautiful, accompany me until the last moment of my life."
"..."
"Do you have to cling to me? There are clearly better people."
"I'm not clinging to you, just clinging to my love."
With a serious face, Leon corrected Agatha's mistake and asked:
"Then what about others? Where are they?"
"..."
"Before I met you, I never thought about getting married."
"I..."
"I never hoped you would love me, didn't imagine you having a reason to love me, and even less thought I could gain your affection. For me, having the chance to love you is already something I'm grateful for."
"You..."
"The moment you appeared, my whole life has already reached a conclusion... it's you."
"..."
Damn it! This scene is where the male and female lead meet! What are you actually doing?
Watching the world of drama, relying on money to fill the stage and holding Agatha's hand, looking deeply into her eyes, using every emotional blanket to bombard and confuse, making Agatha's heart flutter.
Watching as he brings Agatha along each time, and then holding "Mr. Joseph" giving the art gallery tickets, awkwardly standing aside, being tickled and scratched, looking at a passerby Eliyah, the eyes of_the_king_of_drama are_bloodshot.
At this moment, it's like preparing a_national_banquet-level_dish, but then noticing someone pouring saccharin into their own dish, wishing he could immediately wrap the damn "Mr. Joseph" in a cloth and throw him into an oil pan, along with the sliced potatoes, and fry it together.
And as the second act ends, this_dish is_presented to_three_thousand "diners" and receives an unbelievable six-star review, the_king_of Drama_immediately leaves in_anger, his body inherits the dramatic concept from numerous drama masters, and Leon kicks the shit out of "boss who loves your feet" into smithereens!
What the hell? !!
