Chapter 38 Homework
The only people who chose the English class were Chen Chuqiao, Emma and Luca. They were in different classes, but they had the same teacher, so they could do this assignment together. Everyone gathered at Chen Chuqiao’s house to talk about the script. She gave everyone a simple
plot.
They chose the plot from 42 to 45. At this time, King Lear had learned that he had been betrayed by his two daughters and was in a state of mental disorder. With the help of Edgar, he successfully arrived in Dover. King Lear treated himself
Cordelia is ashamed of her ways and refuses to see her, and both Regan and Genaril fall in love with Edmund.
"What we have to do now is to present it in a modern media form," Luca explained. "For example, it can be made into a talk show, like the Ellen Show, where everyone talks about their experiences, but the experiences also need to be adapted.
of."
"The teacher showed us examples adapted from Gossip Girl," Emma added.
Morgan was the first to come up with an idea. She said, "I think you can change to be like The Housewives of Atlanta."
As a loyal fan of the "Honey Wives" series, Morgan never misses an episode where a group of middle-aged women argue or even fight over some inexplicable things. She enjoys watching the show and rolls with laughter every time.
"Anyway, these are the contents. The sisters turned against each other and made irresponsible remarks behind their backs."
The protagonists of the assignment didn’t actually have any ideas, so they started directly with her suggestions.
"In this case, it can be changed to King Lear being drunk and running around naked, Cordelia calls a psychiatrist for him, and Regan and Granariel fight over Edmund, like this," Chen Chuqiao said,
One hand gently pulled up Morgan's hair and pretended to scratch her face.
Everyone laughed when they saw it, and Emma clapped her hands and said happily, "Okay, okay, we can also add a review of the past and explain how Cornwall died."
"How did he die?" Chen Chuqiao almost forgot.
"He was injured by a servant. His wife Reagan didn't care about him, and he bled to death."
"Then it turns into a car accident? His wife hit him and killed him?"
Luca also said, "The part where Genaril poisoned Regan can be written as she gave Regan something to eat or drink, which contained foods she was allergic to, and wrote about relatively rare allergens, such as"
He thought for a while, "Watermelon? It will be more dramatic."
Chen Chuqiao thought for a while and said, "There are no watermelons at home, but strawberries and blueberries." She paused, got an idea, and laughed, "There are pineapples!"
After hearing this, Chris reacted instantly and shouted to her at the same time, "da[1]"
[1] Sweet cocktail made from rum, coconut cream or coconut milk and pineapple juice
Laughing loudly at the tacit understanding between the two, Chris stretched out his hand and gave Chen Chuqiao a high-five, and then everyone put forward a lot of opinions.
Morgan, a die-hard Jade Wife fan, also said many famous lines in it, "When your sister stops acting like a crazy bitch we'll get a long (Only when your sister stops acting like a crazy bitch, can we get along in peace)" "She's walking yeast infection (She is
A walking yeastinfection[2])" were all included in the alternative lines.
[2] A fungal infection in the internal and external parts of the vagina
"Okay, let's change the name first," Chen Chuqiao tapped his fingers quickly on the keyboard, writing down all the ideas mentioned. "Can Kent become Keira? Lear become Lisa?"
Everyone quickly changed the names of the characters in the play. Because it is a "Honey Wives" series, most of the characters were changed to female characters.
Then we come to the beginning of the classic series The Beautiful Wife. Everyone has their own quotation to express their attitude towards life.
"Keira can be 'You never know who I am, I live in mystery[3]'."
[3] The original character kent has multiple identities in King Lear
"Carol just said, 'I don't have anything to say [4]'."
[4] The original character Cordelia was expelled because she did not express her love to her father in gorgeous words like her sisters.
Chen Chuqiao was so inspired that he typed out the script with flying fingers, "Rebecca is 'i'omingle (I'm single, and I'm always ready to go out to fish for good guys) [5]'."
[5] The original character Reagan fell in love with Edmund after her husband died.
When she wrote about why Grace[6] didn't like her husband, she had a flash of inspiration. Chen Chuqiao couldn't help laughing when he thought of his own thoughts, "Do you know about the nonutnovember challenge[7]? He just said that he wanted to participate in this challenge, so Grace
Not satisfied."
[6]The original character is Goneril
[7] Participants are abstinent in November and cannot have any sexual intercourse or orgasm, targeting men.
Everyone was impressed by Chen Chuqiao's bold idea and laughed, "You are really a genius."
Jean smiled and said, "No wonder she wants to compete with her sister for Edmund."
The script was roughly completed soon. This assignment mainly focused on Chen Chuqiao, Emma and Luca, but there were quite a lot of characters involved in these three scenes, and they all had to play two roles.
The plot at the beginning is about Kayla and Gerald gossiping about Carol's husband leaving her[8]. Chen Chuqiao changed the content of the original story into two people gossiping about the noble lady Carol's husband leaving her behind her back.
[8] Adapted from Act 4, Scene 3 of the original work, Kent (Keira’s original character) and Gentleman (Gerald’s original character) discuss in the French camp that French Queen Corelia (Carol’s original character) was appointed to take charge of the army because her husband
The French king returned to France due to business matters.
Chen Chuqiao put on sunglasses, flipped his ponytail to his forehead to make bangs, and then covered it with a hoodie to become the male character Gerald.
Kayla asked him, "How did Carol react after her husband left?"
Gerald chuckled, "She just kept crying, it was so disgusting, her mascara was fading, and black tears were everywhere." He took off his sunglasses and rolled his eyes, showing even more meanness, "She looks like
Like a soaked rat."
"Cut!" Chris shouted, "Perfect!"
"Oh my God," Emma praised her acting skills, "you can play Regina right now."

"I want to slap her right now." Morgan nodded in agreement.
In order to make the remake more dramatic, it was decided to let Luca dress up as a woman. Chen Chuqiao also dug out the blonde wig she used for Halloween and asked Luca to wear it to play Lisa.
"Do you really want to go out for filming? It's really damn cold outside." Luka was only wearing shorts, and his face was full of rejection in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows. The temperature outside was only in single digits, and he still had to go out to film in so little clothing.
"Go quickly," Rang gloated, "die early and be born early."
"Merde!" Luca was cruel and rushed out with an empty wine bottle. Chris, who was wearing a coat, followed behind him. He kept running and screaming in the backyard, and threw the bottle far away.
Shout, "I am the queen of nature[10]."
[10] Adapted from Act 3, Scene 4 of the original work, King Lear (the original character of Lisa) met a beggar pretending to be crazy and stupid in a cave. After experiencing the betrayal of his two daughters, he developed a deep resonance with the beggar.
I also took off my clothes like him.
Luca is wearing very short pants. Later, we can add mosaic all over his body to give him a full/nude effect.
He rolled around on the grass and sang loudly the song Taylor Swift released this year, "baby, i'm just gonnashakeshakeshakeshakeshake," Luka got excited as he sang, and his voice got louder and louder, "ishakeitoffishakeitoff[11
]".
[11] Adapted from Act 4, Scene 4 of the original work, Cordelia mentioned that King Lear filled his head with weeds and flowers and sang.
Wearing coats, everyone gathered around, suppressing their laughter and taking pictures of him with their mobile phones.
"cut! Very good!"
As soon as Luca heard this, he got up immediately and ran into the house while screaming. After entering the house, Chris helped Luca take pictures of the grass stuck to him, and then asked him to hold the camera instead.
When Chen Chuqiao looked back at the video, he found that Rang always liked to zoom in very close to the camera, so he said, "Don't shoot me in the face, otherwise you will capture something like me."
"What?"
"Beautiful," Morgan said.
"e" Everyone present booed her in disgust.
"This is so disgusting," Emma complained.
After filming a few more interview scenes, it got a little dark, and the night was dim. I turned on the yellow light on the balcony, and the atmosphere came out, which was just right for filming the quarrel between the two sisters.
Chen Chuqiao played the role of her sister Grace this time. She warned her sister, her body trembled slightly, and she said angrily, "Hey, I think you should know that he's off limits (he is not someone you should touch). Someone has already taken a liking to her."
"After a pause, her expression remained unchanged and she said, "It's him."
Emma, who was filming opposite her, was the first to laugh out loud, and then everyone's laughter echoed through the balcony, making everyone almost throw the camera away with laughter.
"Do it again." Chen Chuqiao said with a smile, and unconsciously took a sip of the "red wine" in his hand. As a result, he drank so hard that he doubted his life.
Chen Chuqiao quickly ran to the balcony and vomited the rest of his mouth into the woods below.
"Sht!" Her facial features wrinkled, "What is this, Morgan, what did you put in it?"
Since they are not yet old enough to drink spirits legally, most of the alcoholic drinks used are prepared.
"Cranberry juice and vanilla extract, and a little Chinese soy sauce." Morgan said innocently.
"Oh my god!" Chen Chuqiao was about to retch again, and the taste in his mouth lingered for a long time, "It's so fucking disgusting."
“Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!”
It wasn't until Chen Chuqiao took the entire bottle of mineral water that Luka brought her into the room, half gargled her mouth and half drank it, that she barely recovered. She shook her head crazily, "This is the most disgusting thing I have ever drunk in my life. You can do it with me."
It’s comparable to pork.”
Then everything went smoothly after reshooting, and we reached another climax of the script, where the two sisters went to war over a man.
Emma put her hands on her hips and stared at Chen Chuqiao with a look of disbelief on her face, "Is that a threat?"
“That’s a promise, bitch,” Chen Chuqiao approached Emma to show that he was telling the truth, “ongod!”
Emma shouted, "I don't believe in God!" She grabbed Chen Chuqiao's hair and the two started fighting.
Chen Chuqiao just pushed Emma, and she couldn't stand and leaned back.
Everyone gathered around, "Oh my God." "Are you okay?"
"Help!" Emma stretched out her hand, "Help, my shoe is stuck."
Emma was supported by Chen Chuqiao, and she pulled her feet out. Everyone saw that the slender heels of the shoes were inserted into the gaps in the wooden floor.
Everyone was silent for a second and then burst out laughing, "Oh my God." Jean wiped tears from his laughter.
Emma sat on the ground, but she didn't even pull it out. She looked up at everyone in confusion.
Chapter completed!
