Chapter 810
"Yes, have you seen Shakespeare's ‘Twelfth Night'?" Chen Mian asked .
Ning Xi's eyes shone and immediately, she nodded . "I have . "
That was one of Shakespeare's classic comedies, and Ning Xi's favorite out of all his comedic works . It was about a pair of twin siblings who got separated during a shipwreck and had both thought the other was dead . The younger sister disguised as a man to replace her brother and became the servant to a Duke's family . She even fell in love with the Duke, but the Duke loved another Lady .
The sister helped the Duke run away to propose to the Lady, but sadly, the Lady had fallen in love with the sister, who was disguised as a male, and the Duke was rejected .
The most important character in the entire play was the brave, passionate, and pure sister . She had disguised as a male to be by the side of the person she loved, quietly loving him to help him get the person he liked, yet hinting to him from time to time that she loved him too .
The other female character in the play was the Duchess for whom the male lead had fallen in love with . She was beautiful and smart, kind at heart, and someone who valued friendship . She was loyal, brave and persistent . She rejected the elegant Duke's love, yet she had taken a liking for the servant twin sister . At last, she gathered her courage to confess her love for the person she had mistaken for as the girl's twin brother . Ultimately, both the female leads obtained their desires and gained their own happiness .
This was a very positive and beautiful piece of work .
"This script is an adaptation of Shakespeare's 'Twelfth Night', except that the context has been changed to modern day to fit with the current day's aesthetics and flavor . However, I don't want to shoot it as a simple city drama, so my demands of the actors would be very high," Chen Mian explained .
