What is the Mnight Factor?
So the UCL Malaysian Night is coming up in February. So everyone's freaking out because we don't actually have a script yet. I told them my idea, and some people liked it because they think it's diffeent. We do need variety in our Malaysian Night shows, as there are just so many, and the audiences are mostly the same everywhere. Anyways, so i told them i couldn;t write the script, cuz i suck at writing. mapped out my story, and someone else wrote it for them (the they means the production team). so the script is done, and the writer wants to direct. there are notes everywhere, describing in details each and every scene, and most of them are just not achievable on stage (seriously dude.. u're reaching for the stars here). but that's not the point. a lot of people hate the story, because it's different!! some told me it's lacking the "mnight factor." yes, i understand, no matter how u market this show, the audience will be mostly malaysians. that's just inevitable. so they want jokes, and stuff. in-jokes. jokes that only malaysians will laugh to. and there's this one guy, who thinks he's like the funniest, coolest guy on earth, trying to tell us how he thinks the jokes can be included in, and they all suck!! Come on!! last year's script wasn't exactly Saturday Night Live material either! the thing is, unless you're Tina Fey, you simple don;t write jokes in the script, or it will just end up sounding lame!!! I know, for a fact that 99.9% of the jokes were improvised in rehearsals. they were not in the script. I should know. I memorised the whole play. Ask Farahana if you don;t believe me.
The thing is, these peop,e are just being Malaysians. Yes. you read that right. Malaysians. We just luuurrrrrrve wasting time coplaining about stuff that we hardly know about. coming to meetings, telling people we've read the script when we don;t even know how it ends, giving stupid suggestios that just cannot be included as it will ruin the whole story, because we don;t know what the whole thing is about in the forst place!!! and we tell people there's aother script on the works, so that we don;t have to use this stinker, and at the end of the day, we can come by in our white horses to the rescue...
Not in a million lifetimes, BITCHES!!!
