Sitting in a corner of the room, Jonah asked, “Sir, what musical instruments are needed for the music?”
To answer the question, the old man took them to a separate room and pointed to a cabinet filled with various instruments. “These.”
When Jonah and the others looked over, they found a drum, castanets, fiddle, dulcimer, flute, and trumpet.
The elderly man said, “I can play the castanets and flute, but I’m not skilled with the other instruments.”
Jonah looked a bit troubled. “Then we’ll need someone skilled in playing drums, fiddles, dulcimers, and trumpets. We might have to find someone from outside, but I’m not sure if they’ll make it in time.”
Their performance was scheduled for the day after tomorrow, and it would be challenging to bring in several skilled musicians from out of town in such a short time.
At this moment, Rebecca raised her hand. “Why don’t I give it a try?”
Everyone in the room looked at her in complete surprise. Does she know how to play the instruments too?
When Rebecca noticed everyone’s shocked expressions, she awkwardly asked, “Why are you all looking at me like that?”
Zac approached her and inquired, “Can you play all these instruments?”
She nodded. “Yes, I have learned to play them all.”
Before crossing over to the other universes, Rebecca used to take fiddle classes. As a result, she was quite familiar with the several instruments before her and knew how to play them.
Zac’s eyes sparkled as he looked at her. “You’re amazing, Rebecca.”
Rebecca smiled. “Thank you for the compliment!”
Meanwhile, the elder was shocked but grinned as he beckoned Rebecca over. “Come here, young lady. I’ll give you a score. Try playing these instruments.”
Rebecca nodded. “Sure!”
The elder took out several music scores from the cabinet and opened one, pointing to a page. “Use the fiddle to play this piece.”
Rebecca carefully examined the score, then took the fiddle from the elder and began playing. Soon, a lively and cheerful fiddle piece filled the air.
The elder smiled in satisfaction. “You’re quite skilled at playing the fiddle.”
Next, the elder asked Rebecca to try the drums, dulcimer, and trumpet.
Rebecca remained confident and calm as she played each of the scores given to her by the elder. Once she finished, the elder’s smile grew even wider. “Very good. I’m confident that you can handle playing the soundtracks. There’s no need to look for anyone else.”
Smiling, Rebecca murmured, “Sure. I’ll take care of the soundtracks.”
Jonah smiled slightly. “Miss Collins, you’ve made things very easy for our crew.”
Meanwhile, Keira and Eric couldn’t help but admire Rebecca. Although they didn’t know how to play these instruments, they could hear how well she had played the pieces.
Keira asked, “Rebecca, do you play any other instruments besides these?”
“I know a few others,” Rebecca replied. Keira then asked, “For example? Can you list a few?”
Rebecca answered, “I can play the harp, banjo, flute, clarinet, ocarina, piano, cello, guitar, saxophone, and bass.”
Everyone on set fell silent as they suddenly had the urge to ask what she couldn’t play. It was simply amazing.
Zac’s eyes filled with smiles. “You know how to play the guitar too? Why don’t we play a duet when we get back?”
Rebecca nodded. “Sure!”
Then, Keira pointed at the banjo on the cabinet. “Rebecca, I would like to hear you play the banjo. Can you perform a piece for us?”
Rebecca also liked the banjo and had spent a long time practicing it when she was in a retro universe. “No problem!”
She asked the elder if she could use the banjo. Not only did the elder not refuse her request, but he even personally handed it to her. “I would like to hear you play the banjo too.”
The young lady grew on him the more they interacted.
‘How could Rebecca know how to play so many instruments? She must be bluffing.’
‘I think the show must be scripted. Rebecca is only acting according to the script, otherwise, how could she know so many instruments?’
‘She must have practiced the pieces she played with those instruments in private.’
‘This show is too fake. This scene is obviously staged for us to watch.’
‘Yet the crew dares to claim they’re realistic. I’m going to report on this show.’
‘Don’t you think the crew is too biased toward
Rebecca? Why does she get all the attention?’
‘I heard Rebecca previously saved the director’s wife, which is how she got on this show.’
‘Look at that. How could this relationship not seem suspicious?’
‘I’m speechless. The director is hyping Rebecca and even planned a scripted scene for her. Does he take us audiences for fools?’
There were suddenly many complaints and skeptical comments on the screen.
The very first few comments that set the mood were from the paid trolls Titus hired. He planned to make Aaron and Rosie seem like close siblings while also portraying Rosie as a lovable person, creating a comparison with Rebecca. However, none of that was successful. Worse still, all of that failed in comparison to Rebecca.
In contrast, Rosie didn’t become as popular as they had hoped, and her reputation had even plummeted. Titus felt suffocated because he couldn’t accept the fact that his plan had failed. Therefore, he hired paid trolls, hoping to make Rebecca look bad by claiming that the crew was trying to hype her popularity with a script.
This plan could tarnish Rebecca’s image and help Rosie regain some of her reputation.
They could say that the crew intended to hype Rebecca’s popularity, thus suppressing Aaron and Rosie.
When Aaron and Leon’s fans saw the situation, they immediately followed the trend and began criticizing and scrutinizing Rebecca.
Although Rebecca’s fans tried to counter, they were no match for the paid trolls and fans of the other three celebrities, so their comments were soon drowned out.
Upon seeing the sudden influx of comments, Jonah knew that someone had hired paid trolls to frame Rebecca and the crew. He frowned, knowing that the situation would worsen if this continued. He would admit it if this show was scripted, but it wasn’t, so he couldn’t let someone else frame him for it.
Currently, Rebecca held the banjo and asked,
“Which song would you like me to play?”
Those words puzzled the crowd because they rarely had the chance to listen to a banjo piece, so they didn’t know what to choose.
Keira suggested, “Why don’t you choose something yourself?”
Jonah raised his head and watched as Rebecca confidently asked everyone to choose what she should play. That meant she knew a lot of banjo pieces.
Then, he scanned the comments on the screen and contemplated for a moment before asking Rebecca, “Why don’t we let the livestream viewers choose what song they would like to hear?”
Such an interaction could liven the atmosphere and show that Rebecca was indeed skilled at playing the banjo. More importantly, letting the audience choose a song could diminish their suspicions because it meant the song chosen would be random and, therefore, prove that Rebecca had not practiced it in advance.
