Chapter 776: 775. Can you run an errand for me?

A minority of regular audience members were shocked by the "this character has been replaced" series, with even more people surprised by "I recognize this actor."

"Miss is so beautiful, how come it’s not the round-faced girl from last time?"

"They changed the actor, huh—then I have to see how well she performs, I’m actually a bit uncomfortable with the sudden change, won’t it disrupt the immersion?"

"Tang Shu? This tall female student is Tang Shu, right? How come she looks so much like her?"

"The one from Corridor Pavilion who plays the Crown Princess Consort?"

"That young actress performed so well, I felt so indignant for the Crown Princess Consort, such misfortune in her encounters, her whole life was ruined—"

"She does look similar, but how could that actress come to act in a stage play? It must just be a look-alike...."

As soon as these words were spoken, two audience members were drawn to the words of a girl beside them.

"No, no, it is the big uncle, it really is!"

"What big uncle, you’re talking about Tang Shu, right?"

"Yes, yes, Tang Shu, my idol ahhh—her entrance was absolutely killer, she exudes boss energy!"

"..."

Little girl, do you see your idol through a filter?

What boss energy they tout—why don’t they feel it? It’s clearly just a female student from the Republic of China era who has a slightly superior air.

The two audience members kept silent and thought to themselves, let’s just focus on the play.

However, the young man sitting in front of them also turned around to join in the group chat.

"Miss, are you a lucky fan too?"

"Yes, yes, after I was randomly selected, I chose the first performance so I could see what the surprise was as soon as possible!"

The original two audience members were even more confused, "Lucky fan?"

"It’s the welfare that the big uncle gives to us fans, she sent out 300 theater tickets, and 100 of them are for this performance, plus our train tickets to Imperial Capital and hotel expenses are all reimbursed."

"!!!"

The two of them suddenly showed faces of shock.

Are stars nowadays so bold in spending money on fans? Not to mention the travel expenses, but even the 300 tickets to Imperial Capital’s First Theater is a tidy sum!

"So generous—"

"Isn’t it usually posters that stars give away as fan welfare?"

"And that’s with the fans paying the shipping costs."

The young men and women to the left and in front, with hands spread out, expressed helplessness, "Can’t help it, our big uncle is just so indulgent with fans—"

The two: "..."

Don’t think we can’t hear the pride hidden in your voices.

***

On the stage, the play was already halfway through.

Lian Qingyi came to a turning point in her life. When the bad news arrived, this well-off female student wasn’t crushed by reality. Instead, she rose to the challenge, undergoing several shifts in her mindset.

"I’m telling you—Lian Qingyi’s character is so rich—"

"The character development is also very successful; the girl’s acting is impressive, the hatred in her eyes earlier was crystal clear!"

"And her stubbornness and resilience!"

"Overnight, she has completed the transformation from a female student to a revolutionary!"

"How come I never felt that this character was so brilliant before? She’s obviously just an ordinary female student following a professor..."

...

The progress bar of the play was filled to the max, indicating that the story had come to an end.

Yet, in the minds of the audience, the scene of Lian Qingyi’s transformation in a matter of minutes remained vivid, etched deeply into their hearts.

"Holy shit, Uncle’s surprise was way too shocking and delightful!"

"I thought I was just going to watch a classic play, but I never imagined Uncle would be in it!"

"And it wasn’t just a simple appearance, she was the highlight!"

Several longtime fans chattered excitedly as they lined up to leave, bewildering some of the regular theater-goers.

"What the heck is going on? The character of Lian Qingyi wasn’t supposed to give off this vibe—"

"Yeah, she’s a minor role, not even the Female Lead No.2. The chubby-faced girl before her did a good job too, but why can’t I stop thinking about her after the play?"

"Her screen time isn’t even that much, is it? Just over ten minutes, even less than some of the female professors, just of one the crowd."

"Did fans say it was her first time in a play? Single-shot scenes are tough as hell; how come she didn’t stumble at all?"

"Ordinary yet extraordinary, this actress really shines. She didn’t steal the limelight from the main characters, but she left a deep impression on everyone."

"Strange, so strange!"

Yang Tiantian, who deliberately lingered until the end to leave, heard the vastly different discussions and grinned with delight.

Ah, my boss truly deserves her reputation—

Her debut in the play was unexpectedly successful!

***

On the day of the play’s performance, Tang Shu’s Weibo became lively.

"A huge surprise, an incredibly big surprise! As one of the pioneers who crossed the waters, I assure you the ticket was worth it!"

"Ahhhh—Amazing, I adore Uncle so much. She always surprises her fans when they least expect it!"

"Guys, does anyone have tickets for the next two shows? Could you sell them to me? I’ll pay five hundred!"

"emmm~~~ I didn’t get enough of it either. Any friends from out of town willing to sell their ticket to me? Name your price!"

In a short period, the first batch of 100 lucky fans left nearly 300 comments, averaging three each!

This scene dumbfounded the remaining 200 eagerly anticipating fans.

"I’ve been looking for ages and still can’t figure out where the surprise is. Are you guys heartless or what? Can you speak human?"

"Keeping it really tight, huh? Can’t you talk normally?!"

"I’m dying here; just tell me what it is already. I’m so anxious I could jump into your pot—"

However...

Nobody told.

The 100 lucky viewers seemed to have made a pact, each playing the mime.

"Don’t ask, if you ask, I won’t tell you."

"Go and you’ll find out. The real surprise only comes when the mystery is unveiled."

"Ah no, wrong, very lousy look! Brother, don’t you go, you mustn’t go."

"Listen to your sister’s advice, it’s not worth your time and it’s not good. It’s not easy to come all the way to the Imperial Capital, so don’t bother and just sell your ticket to me."

"Or you can sell it to me, brother. I’m ready to cry as I offer myself to go instead of you!"

Everyone: "..."

Oh right, let me go instead? Seems like you’re just looking for a free meal.

The more the 100 forerunners acted this way, the more curious the remaining 200 became.

"There’s something fishy, you can tell there’s something fishy!"

"You’re deceiving me for sure. Of course, I have to go myself; don’t think I don’t realize you’re just after our welfare tickets!"

"I’m dying of laughter, did you guys take the admin as your master? All of you have hearts filled with black sesame filling!"

"Spill the beans, how much did you charge for lessons, admins?"
