Chapter 439 Xiaolan feels anxious Gao Yuan

When the elevator door opened, what appeared in front of Shinichi was the beauty pageant venue.

Shinichi quickly walked into the venue and saw that in the venue, the TV station staff were busy nervously preparing for the upcoming official broadcast.

"Hurry up and debug the lighting, time is running out!"

The venue supervisor glared at the lighting staff and roared into the microphone.

Seeing this, Shinichi left the venue again and walked along a door deep in the corridor leading to the backstage.

In front of the door, a staff member wearing work clothes placed the card hanging on his chest on the machine in front of the door. With a "click" sound, the door lock opened.

After hearing the sound, the staff turned the door handle and entered the room.

"Only staff with passes can enter the room..."

After seeing this situation, Shinichi returned to the venue again and turned his attention to the stage.

On the stage, the puppeteer Shoichi Amano, whom Sonoko introduced before, was operating a string puppet among a group of puppets. It seemed that a rehearsal was in progress.

In the center of the stage, a mechanical puppet was somersaulting down the stairs. Next to it was a clown puppet who was crying and writing a letter. Around the clown puppet, there were a group of puppets riding rolling balls that kept circling around it.

.

When Shinichi turned his attention to Amano Shoichi, he was controlling a female string puppet with beautiful eyes.

The female puppet first came to the movable robot puppet that was somersaulting down the stairs, applauding it, and then went to the clown puppet who was crying and writing a letter, stroking its back as if to comfort it.

.Finally, roll the ball with the puppet on the ball.

After watching the complete rehearsal, Shinichi couldn't help but applaud Amano Shoichi.

"Thank you."

When he heard someone applauding him, Amano Shoichi realized that Shinichi had been watching from the side and couldn't help but smile at him and thanked him.

"It's like these puppets are really alive."

Shinichi praised sincerely.

"I'm really happy to hear you say that."

Amano Shoichi responded to Shinichi with a smile, and then said:

"My name is Amano Shoichi, are you a staff member of this hotel?"

"Ah... that's right."

Shinichi answered like this, and then he couldn't help but ask:

"Speaking of which, Mr. Amano, the puppet you just operated can play with all kinds of puppets in the world. Such a performance is really interesting!"

"Because I like puppets the most."

Faced with Shinichi's praise, Amano Shoichi scratched his head in embarrassment and said:

"So I think it would be wonderful if all the puppets in the world could play happily together."

"I see."

Xinyi nodded, looking curiously at the various puppets on the stage, and couldn't help but say:

"There are so many types of puppets."

"Yes. The puppets that somersault downstairs are Japanese-style mechanical puppets; the clown puppets that cry and write letters are French-style puppets; in addition, there are German-style puppets, British-style puppets, and many other types."

Amano Shoichi introduced it with some pride, and Shinichi couldn't help but praise:

"very impressive."

As he spoke, Shinichi looked at Amano Shoichi who was smiling happily, suddenly focused his attention on the string puppet in his hand, and then said seriously:

"However, the puppet that Mr. Amano is holding is the most powerful. It can be manipulated by your fingertips through nine thin wires, as if it is a real human being with flesh and blood."

"Yes. But with practice, anyone can control it."

Amano Shoichi said, calmly handing Shinichi the control board connected to the string that controls the puppet.

"Huh?"

Shinichi made a confused sound at this.

"Come on, let's try it."

Amano Shoichi said.

"Is it okay?"

Shinichi said hesitantly.

"fine."

Amano Shoichi smiled and nodded, so Shinichi had no choice but to turn on the control panel and try to control the puppet——

"Haha, that's not possible at all. I don't even know which wire controls which place."

Shinichi looked at the puppet that seemed to be swinging and swaying at will under his control, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"I was like this at the beginning. No matter how I manipulated it, the puppet kept shaking like a newborn deer."

Amano Shoichi couldn't help but smile bitterly at Shinichi's statement.

"So this is ah."

After listening to Amano's words, Shinichi refocused his attention and moved the control panel carefully.

"After practicing for a while, you will feel that for a moment you can see the movements it makes become lighter. The mood at that moment is like the mood when you see your child learning to walk for the first time. Good, good, good

.Just now, even though it was only for a moment, it looked like a real person was moving."

Amano clapped his hands and applauded Shinichi's operation.

"Really, I also saw it seem to come to life. However, it didn't seem to be operated by me. It was like the puppet was moving on its own."

Shinichi looked at the puppet in surprise and said.

"That's right. String puppets are different from other puppets and will not obey instructions so easily. This is because there is a long string between the puppet and the puppet. Although this may make people feel a little anxious, it is also because

This anxious mood will actually cause the puppet to make unexpected movements. Sometimes it is clear that you are operating it, but the puppet seems to be moving without permission.

"If you keep pursuing this fun, you will definitely become an excellent puppeteer."

Amano said with some emotion.

"That's right!"

Shinichi couldn't help but said thoughtfully:

"The puppets move on their own as if they are self-aware. This is the fun of puppets!"

"Yes, so you must not do whatever you want with the puppets!"

Amano nodded seriously and said so.

"I understand, thank you for your advice."

Shinichi couldn't help but thank Amano and handed the control panel back to Amano.

"The program just now will definitely bring joy to the audience tonight."

Before leaving, Shinichi added.

"No...after thinking about it for a long time, I decided to perform another show tonight."

To this, Amano still answered solemnly.

"Huh?"

After hearing what Amano said, Shinichi couldn't help but be surprised.

"Although the director may be angry, I have already decided."

Amano said very seriously.

Regarding this, Shinichi thought for a while and asked aloud:

"What kind of story is it?"

"Well, it's a story about a beautiful girl in a small mountain village."

Amano replied.

"Sounds interesting."

Saying this, Shinichi showed interest, and Amano continued:

"Although that girl has been praised by people around her as beautiful and beautiful, she is completely unsatisfied. She looks in the mirror every day and is obsessed with things that make herself more beautiful. Then, the girl became a villager

The most beautiful woman in the world. But the girl was not satisfied yet and wanted to be more beautiful, so one day, she went on a trip.

"The girl learned how to become beautiful in various places, and wherever she went, everyone praised her as the most beautiful person. Finally one day, even the prince of that country proposed to her. However, the girl still

She rejected the prince and continued traveling in order to become more beautiful.

"But suddenly one day, neither the mirror nor the water reflected her appearance. The surprised girl searched everywhere in the country for something that could reflect her appearance, but she couldn't find it..."

"Oh, what happens after that?"
