Male Inferiority and Female Supremacy in the World of Immortal Cultivation

Chapter 215: 215. Not just a sickly cute type, but also a drama queen

Fang Zhou prepared two large stage plays, “Journey to the West” and “Legend of the White Snake”.

The actors selected for these two plays were disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect. They were very cooperative, partly because of the rewards, and partly because they found performing on stage quite fun and engaging.

The initial rehearsals went smoothly. Although these disciples had no acting skills—stiff expressions and monotone delivery of lines—Fang Zhou didn’t mind, since they were just extras and background characters; as long as their voices were loud enough, it was fine.

However, problems arose with the leading roles. The actors Fang Zhou chose, who matched the roles in appearance, performed even worse than the extras, not even reaching the passing line.

In “Legend of the White Snake”, the most important characters were the White Snake, Xu Xian, and Fa Hai. Xu Xian and Fa Hai could even be considered secondary, but the White Snake was crucial.

Fang Zhou specially selected a female disciple with a gentle yet decisive temperament for the role of White Snake. But her performance was more like a giveaway than the White Snake.

Fang Zhou individually trained these lead actors for several days, but instead of improving, their confidence was shattered. They became like dead fish, unresponsive no matter how he tried to guide them.

Fang Zhou was anxious and frustrated. He couldn’t find new actors in time, so he had to admit that he had underestimated the complexity of these tasks. Even after lowering his expectations repeatedly, not everyone could easily meet them.

“Don’t worry, there’s still time.”

Yu Qing came specifically to comfort Fang Zhou. She was moved by the effort and dedication Fang Zhou had shown during this period.
