The True Artist

The drama teacher Lin Xiao brought the girls to the stage with Lan Yue and his friends following right behind them. After teacher Lin and the girls arrived on the stage, teacher Lin called everyone on the stage. "Alright everyone please gather at the stage I have an important announcement to make."

After hearing teacher Lin's words everyone who have been participating in the play gathered on the stage around her. They looked at teacher Lin's direction with curiousity filled in them as to what announcement teacher Lin had to make.

They also saw that A'Xin and her friends were also there. They started to ponder what are A'Xin and her friends were doing there ? As to why they would think that, the reason really very simple they all knew that A'Xin and her friends have participated in the play. Some participants thought in their mind, "maybe they are here to watch the play rehearsal."

While some thought, "They may have come to cheer them." These kinds of thoughts were coming in the students head.

When teacher Lin found that everyone has gathered on the stage she looked at the direction where A'Xin and her friends were standing and stood everyone, "Starting from today you friends are joining us in the play. ". She said that while looking at A'Xin and her friends, "They have joined us as the backstage crew to support our play so that it will be a great play for everyone."

After hearing teacher Lin's words all of the participants were quite surprised but then after processing everything what teacher Lin said they welcomed their new members happily without any complaints.

Then they all thanked teacher Lin for accepting their friends in the play group to which teacher Lin said, "It is not me who you should all thank rather you all should thank our drama club president. He is the one who selected them for the play."

Then all of them looked at Lan Yue and thanked him. After that teacher Lin said that she will the new members for the stage tour and will told them about their work while she said everyone to start practicing.

She then took A'Xin and her friends for the stage tour where she was explaining them how to set a stage , flavour the placement of props, about the assistant who stands hidden in the stage with the script to help the performers when they forget their dialogues.

They all were seriously and attentively listening to teacher Lin and have been observing everything that she was telling them to do about the work. After that teacher Lin distributed each a role for them to do.

After their job distribution they went to the place and asked the student who were already doing the job for their assistance in the work.

In the meantime A'Xin has been assigned to backstage work she has to help the actors in case they forget their dialogues. So she had got the script for the play from teacher Lin. After getting the script she started to read it and in the cover of the script she found that it was written by Lan Yue.

She was quite surprised after knowing it and then she went through the script and the the structure, the ambiance the script was trying to make, the way of writing, the presentation of their village history made her more surprised and at the same time fascinated towards the script.

She was looking forward how the play is going to turn out for the amazing script. After that she closed the script and looked towards the stage.

In the stage Lan Yue was standing in the middle and six students have encircled him. They have taken a fighting position and stance while Lan Yue had solemn face and his eyes were filled with literally rage and at the same time with joy.

The scene they were rehearsing was when Ling Han was fighting against the enemies of villages where they wanted to take the entire under their control and Ling Han was the protector of their village.

When A'Xin looked for the scene in the script she found that Lan Yue didn't have any dialogues in the scene and he only had show expressions and show his acting prowess in the scene because it was one of the major intense scene of the play.

They again she looked at the stage and was literally shocked.

Right now Lan Yue was standing in the middle and the six students who have encircled him started to move around him in motion and then they told him, "Just give up already Ling Han you can not protect your village from us.

Look at us we have weapons and we have also outnumbered you and look at the people for whom you are fighting for they don't even have the courage to stand up for themselves."

After hearing it Ling Han(don't get confused it is Lan Yue's play name and I might address him with this name during the play scenes) looked at the people who have scared expressions and fear filled in them.

He looked at them with with kind and empathetic look and showed them some actions with his body movements which just captured everyone who was seeing the scenes as the grace and expressions he was showing has mesmerized everyone.

He stood there then bent down and touched the stage considering it the ground and then stood up and clenched his fist and then opened it and looked at his hand with a very grateful look and a his eyes became teary. This was to show how a person should be grateful to the soil and land which is with him for the time when he is born to till he died always accompanying a person like a caring mother, giving him strength and courage to fight all his life's struggles and hardships.

The land and soil which not only gives us strength but also giving us the food and a firm a place to build our home to stay for which we should be grateful.

To think someone is going to steal it and misuse it was more than hurting and infuriating for Ling Han and he decided to fight for it.

All of these things can not be described by words it is an emotion which one can only feel and Lan Yue was doing the same work without saying anything and everyone was just deeply immersed in that act. Everyone just felt that they should stand up and fight for it.

The performers who were the villagers were also so impressed and motivated that they also stood up to fight the enemies who wanted to snatch their beloved village from them.

Seeing all this A'Xin only thought that Lan Yue is the true artist who have made all the audience and performers get really involved in the performance which was giving.

But no one really thought at that moment that this acting skill if Lan Yue is going help him greatly in future and which is inevitable to come.
