Chapter 369: The Moved Director, Idyia Really Has Talent
After being bombarded by Paimon and Lumine's barrage of criticism.
The director, who was already heavily injured and on the ground, was dealt an additional blow as Idyia walked over.
"Oh yes yes yes, well said, Paimon."
"It should be said that trying to pay homage to the structure of 'A Thousand Nights' led to narrative chaos, and forgetting to handle the props is also a point deduction."
Lumine and Paimon glanced at each other.
So what the director said earlier was all true.
Idyia really would mercilessly criticize his work.
"Why did Big Sister Idyia come over?"
Idyia performed a set of operatic gestures. "Hearing an important topic, I returned like the tide!"
[When we talk about this I'm not sleepy anymore.]
[Idyia is really strict.]
[I don't care what you think, I want what I think.]
Director Zosimos said helplessly, "You specially came over to criticize me. It must have been hard on you."
"Mhm! It was indeed hard, but the story has a good ending. Only this point, only this point I really like."
Lumine smiled. "Miss Idyia is really strict."
"…Is that so? I feel like I didn't criticize harshly enough!"
With that, she wanted to continue scolding Zosimos.
Fortunately, Kokomi pulled her away.
However, Idyia didn't forget to remind Paimon, "You guys keep scolding. I'm leaving it to you, Paimon."
[Zosimos: ?]
[6]
To not let down Idyia's entrustment, Paimon decided to give one final opinion.
Zosimos found a prop to lean on, afraid he wouldn't be able to hold on.
But he still calmly accepted reality. "Go ahead. Being a director definitely has to go through this stage!"
The final opinion Paimon gave was actually somewhat constructive.
She thought the ending had quite a big problem.
The girl's thinking in the play was too simplistic.
In that kind of situation, she fundamentally shouldn't have said something like 'I don't know.'
Her clansmen were wandering without support.
Yet she used a wish to hide alone in a corner where no one could find her.
And in the end, she inexplicably lived a happy life.
Mu Yang also spoke up, saying that the development here was indeed somewhat disjointed.
The girl's reactions before and after differed too greatly.
On the other hand, Lumine comforted Zosimos with one sentence. "Director, are you okay?"
Zosimos held a prop with one hand and his forehead with the other.
"It's fine. Only by collecting criticism can one continue to improve. This time I learned a lot from the sidelines. It truly fulfilled a dream."
Paimon didn't expect this guy to have such a good mentality.
He could even endure criticism of this level.
He didn't look greatly devastated at all.
Zosimos laughed bitterly in his heart. After being criticized like this, how could he not be affected at all…
He was just forcing himself to appear a bit stronger on the outside…
However, although Lumine and Paimon's words were sharp.
They were all telling the truth.
After what the two of them said, Zosimos himself also noticed the problems.
After scolding to her heart's content, little Paimon finally had a sudden attack of conscience.
She praised a few small merits.
After all, this script was rushed out temporarily.
If it were truly perfect, why would Zosimos be stuck worrying in this Illusory Realm?
Zosimos felt Paimon didn't need to do this.
In fact, just being able to have this performance made him very satisfied.
"To me, the process on stage is more important than anything."
"Everyone has that imaginative childhood period, right? Facing an oil lamp, using dolls and cardboard figures we cut ourselves to have fights. The shadows swaying on the wall, never getting tired of playing."
"That little boy who used to lie in bed shouting 'you give birth to the child.' And the me now — we are the same person, and the happiness we obtain is essentially the same kind."
After Zosimos finished speaking, he suddenly bowed deeply to everyone present.
"…Of course, thanks to all of you, the performance was able to be completed. As the director, I must solemnly express my gratitude to everyone."
Everyone naturally said there was no need to be polite.
They were originally here to have fun.
Helping out when they could.
And they could also help Idyia repair the Illusory Realm along the way. Why not?
Mentioning the repair of the Illusory Realm reminded Zosimos.
He then handed the part in his hand to Mu Yang.
"Please accept this, Mr. Mu Yang. This is the part I promised to give you at the beginning."
Mu Yang took it and looked. It was actually the bottle used in the performance earlier.
Klee also noticed. "It's the bottle used during the performance earlier. It became brighter when Klee blew on it."
Zosimos asked her if she wanted to guess the secret of why it lit up.
[Mechanical energy converted into electrical energy?]
[It's air friction heating the bottle wall (funny)]
[Eh? Isn't it magic?]
Little Klee tilted her head. Her answer was full of childish innocence.
"There's an invisible little elf living inside. When you blow, the little elf opens its eyes."
Zosimos fell silent.
The answer he had prepared was right on the tip of his tongue but was glared back by everyone's eyes.
Actually, everyone didn't need to do this. Zosimos himself understood.
A child's innocence should be properly protected.
So he told Klee, "That's right, it's exactly like that."
[Haha, this person is still sensible.]
[Who doesn't like cooperating with a cute child?]
At this time in the backstage, Kaeya the great thief who had disappeared for a while had already changed into his exclusive costume.
After Idyia's modifications, he was very satisfied with it himself.
"This outfit is quite a bit more fashionable than I thought."
Lumine and the others were just about to ask why the noise from backstage was getting louder.
Kokomi came out to deliver the message.
"Does everyone have time? Especially Mr. Zosimos. Miss Idyia just said she wants to help you briefly fulfill your dream."
"Fulfill my dream?" Zosimos was somewhat confused. Hadn't they already accompanied him in making a scene?
His wish had already been fulfilled.
Kokomi explained, "As the person who heard about your director dream from the very beginning, she said that even a useless person like Idyia can do something."
Kokomi said this was Idyia's original words. She didn't fully agree.
"From the beginning, I felt that Miss Idyia is not a useless person."
"Uh… why did the topic suddenly shift to me?" Idyia, who had finished helping Kaeya adjust his clothes, walked out.
"Is everyone ready? Please welcome today's male lead on stage — Ta-da!"
Peacock Great Thief Kaeya appeared in full splendid attire.
It drew continuous exclamations from those around.
[Eyes brightened.]
[Why does it feel a bit like If You Are the One?]
[Then I would definitely light up all the lights for Kaeya bro.]
[Must light.]
Little Klee clapped her hands vigorously. "Wow! Big Brother Kaeya is really a great thief now!"
Kaeya adjusted the feathers on his body.
"I say, will the director really be happy seeing the lead actor change into the costume? It's just a sample garment. Happiness isn't that easy to come by."
Zosimos was already overjoyed at this moment…
He had drawn many costume designs before and even made a few sample garments, but the sizes didn't fit.
Now that Idyia had helped modify it.
It could be considered as not disappointing the image of the male lead in everyone's hearts.
"Idyia… thank you… I'm very happy."
Some people smiled until they cried.
"…Thank you all. So being a director is such a happy thing…"
