Don't confiscate my identity as a human race Chapter 1559 875: Lanci and Hyperion's Opera Rehearsal3

The actors on stage stopped their dialogue simultaneously, while Lanci and Hyperion looked confusedly at the director Abigail.

They shouldn't have made a mistake in their performance, it was also the state where they were giving their all.

Abigail shook her head, seemingly to reassure them.

"It's not that the performance was bad, it's just not the effect I expected."

Abigail had no intention of blaming them, explaining to the two leading actors.

"How can we improve?"

Hyperion humbly asked for guidance.

She felt it wasn't Lanci's issue, but hers.

"..."

Abigail was silent for a while.

She was also pondering the reason.

After watching Lanci and Hyperion's performance, Abigail couldn't help comparing it with Lanci and Tata's performance, clearly feeling that Lanci and Tata made a ss, yet surprisingly effective.

Abigail thought over and over, doubting whether her usual strict standards had fallen to the dark side, as she surprisingly liked the outrageous performance by Lanci and Tata.

But if Lanci and Tata were to try again, they probably wouldn't be able to recreate the effect of the Grey Princess chapter.

Although Tata had a talent for acting, the reason Abigail chose Hyperion over Tata was that Tata's success was unpredictable and unrepeatable, while Hyperion, having potential, could also perform steadily.

Besides, Abigail didn't want any more stage accidents.

"I understand now, it's not your problem, it's the script and my choreography that's the issue."

After contemplating for a long ti, Abigail finally found the answer and pointed it out to the two of them.

From the Grey Princess chapter to the Half-Witch chapter, although the Half-Witch chapter maintained the codic tone of finding joy in hardship of that era, the Half-Witch had a sentintal nature, no longer needing to be as comical as the Grey Princess.

Just as the sa piece might give the audience a markedly different impression due to different arrangents.

"Huh?"

Hyperion originally expected to be sharply criticized by Abigail, but unexpectedly, Abigail found a different issue upon reviewing.

"Yes, this adaptation with a codic style isn't the most suitable for you,"

Abigail stated firmly.

The current arrangent couldn't bring out Hyperion's emotional gift, which mixed lancholy with joy.

Wait a second.

The Grey Princess wasn't a codic role at the start either.

After thinking for a long ti, Abigail realized that it was Tata's overwhelming influence.

"Then what should we do next...?"

Lanci tentatively asked Abigail.

He wasn't sure whether they should continue performing next.

"You guys take a half-hour break, let prepare for a bit, and then I'll tell you how to rehearse."

Abigail said, letting the crew on stage go take a break while she walked towards the backstage holding the script.

...

The half-hour wait ti might seem relatively long to the scattered few dia and industry professionals who ca to watch the rehearsal today.

Of course, for several Great Demon Clan mbers, it felt quite short.

Their main trait as mbers of the Demon Race was patience.

Until Antanas popped up again, picking up a bag of chips from the side seat, and distributed them to several Great Demon Clan mbers, Abigail returned to the theater.

"Alright, everyone should be rested by now."

Abigail walked onto the stage, explaining the new script to Lanci, Hyperion, and the other actors, but unexpectedly, she had no intention of wasting more ti, apparently wanting them to start performing imdiately.

"But Miss Abigail, where's the complete script?"

Lanci, as if recalling a bad mory, looked at the brief script in his hand and questioned her.

Abigail only gave him and Hyperion the lines for the first act, not the script but rely lines. They only knew their own lines, unaware of the plot developnt or the lines of their fellow actors, and were even asked to start preparing for the performance after a brief look.

Even though Lanci and Hyperion were most familiar with the first act, and the changes in this act appeared minor, they still didn't know how to perform it.

"Actually, this form of performance was used during ancient theater productions,"

Abigail explained to the two of them.

Only knowing their own lines and being unaware of the other actors' lines was mainly for script confidentiality in early operas. The script was a crucial asset of the theater group; to prevent its spread, the playwright might only provide the actors with their parts of the lines rather than the entire script.

This could prevent competitors from stealing the script.

Of course, it was also a form of rehearsal because, in ancient tis, rehearsal ti was very short. Actors mostly rehearsed based on the director, often also the playwright, rather than relying entirely on the full script.

Actors would be familiar with the fixed performance routines, coupled with their lines, and could prepare for the performance in a short ti.

This thod also allowed improvisation and filling in details where the script only provided an outline.

Providing a complete script might instead restrict the actors' creativity.

"Finally, there were illiterate actors, back then, so actors had low educational levels and couldn't read many words, so they wouldn't understand the full script even if given one."

Abigail explained the theater history during the era of ancient Cyrus.

Overall, considering the historical context of the ti, there was precedent for directors not giving actors the full script, and it wasn't to trouble the actors.

"But Abigail, the first act of the new script you gave us doesn't even have an outline in so places, with half-written lines, so how are we supposed to have a dialogue?"
