[Rebirth] King of Theater

Although it is indeed distracted by emotional issues, there is also a food column to distract part of the attention.

But Al still didn't relax about his work in private.

At that time, because the theater needed to have enough and popular programs to attract the audience.

Therefore, from time to time, Al will take the initiative to communicate and communicate with some producers and individual playwrights who... are not considered friends, but at least have acquaintances and can talk to each other, and ask them if there are any new dramas in the near future, or , With a new drama, do you want everyone to sit down and discuss cooperation matters?

Originally, these things were nothing.

Generally, after everyone gets to know each other well, there is no need for serious negotiations, and they usually have a good chat, and can easily make an oral agreement in a few words.

But recently, Al discovered a very strange thing.

When he was doing these tasks as before, it seemed that more and more people were frequently mentioning Wilkins' "Cleopatra" in their ears.

Of course, the promotion of this drama is indeed overwhelming, no wonder someone will mention it.

But the way these people mentioned it was a bit strange every time, always in a seemingly casual but deliberate way, in front of him, talking about how big the show was, and how the show was 'claimed to be Crush all the crudely produced dramas in the past, including the "Hustler" giant musical, and then, first issued a condemnation, thinking that allowing such a huge investment to appear would destroy the ecological balance of the entire drama circle, and then issued [Is it true? No one to fight it?If this kind of guy who steps on the top of his peers is allowed to rule the roost in this year's performance season, I really can't be reconciled] Such an exclamation.

"But what does that have to do with me?"

Al thought incredulously: "Why did you say it in front of me? I am not a leader in the literary world, and secondly, I am not a respected senior in the literary world. So what if you tell me everything? Do you still expect me to help everyone preside over the so-called justice? ? I don't mind, but the key point is that no one listens to me!"

He thought for a while inexplicably, and could only continue to think that the other party was fooling himself: "Do I look like an impulsive fool? Why does everyone want to encourage me to go up and fight Wilkins?"

Thinking of this, he couldn't hold back anymore, so he had to confide his heart to Mr. Curtis: "I did have a grudge against that bastard Wilkins, and even if he really got unlucky, I don't mind going up to him Stomp on it. But even if it does, there's no direct competition between the two of us on the damn Cleopatra issue."

Mr. Curtis looked at him with a smile and encouraged him to continue speaking.

Al continued to analyze: "From the theater's point of view, "Cleopatra" must be a large theater with a capacity of thousands of people. Whether there is any feud between Erkins, this show has nothing to do with my small theater that can only recruit about [-] people from the beginning; as for the competition... Please, I don’t have any new plays to perform this year! So, I How much free time do you have to have to rush up to fight him when you have nothing to do?"

"It seems that you understand it in your heart. Very good, this will save me the next nonsense."

Mr. Curtis couldn't help laughing with relief: "I thought you would be provoked by those people."

"God help me, I think I'm smart."

Al was complacent at first, and then analyzed bitterly: "So, you can see it too? It really is those guys who are in direct competition with Wilkins! This group of plagued guys look at Wilkins Si is not pleasing to the eye, I don't say it myself, but I want to push me out to fight against others, thanks to my smartness, I see it!"

"It's not about being smart, it's about having a good attitude."

The painter Robert was beside him in amazement: "Al, your stable mental state is really not suitable for you at such a young age. You know, how many people of your age can be uncompetitive and competitive?" ? Not to mention encountering provocateurs, even if no one provokes you, you will be unsteady when encountering such a thing, I am afraid you will have to rush up and find someone to fight with."

Al refused to answer such an age-revealing topic, and only said perfunctorily: "It's because their life is too easy. I have to be busy earning money to support my family, so I don't have time to argue about it."

Then, he immediately excitedly mentioned his next plan, for example, bringing the Vincent series to the stage.

One is to expand the theater's program list; the other is to...

"Director Brett's film is coming to an end, and many props in the crew are useless. It would be too wasteful to throw them away, so we might as well take them all over and continue to use them. Besides, it's quite useful to finish this kind of scary stage play. Part of the audience. At that time, it can also be linked with the movie."

Director Bright thought it was a good idea, so he agreed without saying a word.

Mr. Curtis has always encouraged Aldo to innovate, so naturally he will not have any opinions.

So Al worked hard to rewrite Vincent's stage script.

In fact, he doesn't really want to spend energy on this series. He just wants to go out and find a reliable performance troupe after writing, throw the script over there, and let them play freely. He doesn't want to do too much demanding and complicated Things, just make it simple, scary, and (in a good way) to help the audience vent and vent their emotions.

However, the idea is good.

When Al ignored those provocations and was only busy with his work wholeheartedly, those disturbing remarks from the outside world finally found his head...

It started with someone blatantly declaring at Mrs. Jones's party:

[Some so-called genius playwrights, although they always pretend to be young and mature, are actually still young.These cowards are always only suitable for boating on calm rivers, and they will scare their pants when they face strong winds and waves. ]

Immediately afterward, someone echoed and said: [When he talks about his column, he only has his own articles in his eyes, he is indifferent to the outside world, and has no sense of social responsibility. No matter how clever his pen is, such an author is just a source of water away from the public. A tree without roots. ]

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Such inexplicable remarks were quickly spread.

Al hated a hypocritical villain like Wilkins, but he also hated this kind of selfish guy who "has nothing to do, but wants to pull others forward to block the gun".

He didn't want to talk about it at first, but finally he got bored from the bottom of his heart, and then thought of the painter Robert who said that he was too stable and didn't fit his current age, so he wrote a story about a man and a rooster in the food column to criticize Sang Huai on the spur of the moment. .

The general content of the story is that a man was tired and sat in a corner to rest casually. As a result, he met a crying and noisy rooster.

The man couldn't help but stepped forward curiously and asked the rooster, "What's wrong with you?"

The rooster cried out that he was going to be killed soon, and then told him gleefully: "You will be killed too, because you are the same as me." ]

[Humans were startled when they heard the words: "Why am I like you? I am a human, and you are a chicken."]

[Rooster rationalizes: "But we're all the same because we're all standing in the corner."]

[Humans can't help but argue: "You misunderstood, I just rest here for a while, and I will leave after resting."]

[Rooster insists: "Same, same, both will be killed."]

Next, the rooster repeatedly repeated [We are all standing in the corner] and, [The chicken killer is very fierce, he will definitely kill you when he comes to see you. ]

No matter how humans explain it, they just take a rest and leave when they have enough rest.

The rooster still insisted [We are all standing in the corner, we are going to die].

Then, it also started to mock human beings [You don’t admit it because you are a coward who is young, and you dare not face the reality when you hear that you are going to be killed. Maybe when you see the chicken killer, you will be so scared that you will pee your pants. . ]

Human beings are too lazy to argue with a rooster, so they are silent.

But the rooster seemed to have won because of this, proud and triumphant, especially when he thought of someone dying with him, he felt very relieved and happy.

However, the final outcome is beyond doubt.

When the chicken killer came, not only did he not kill humans, but his attitude was very respectful, and he didn't dare to provoke him at all.

At this time, human beings have had enough rest, and have no interest in killing chickens and chickens, so they leave without looking back.

But the rooster was still flapping its big wings that couldn't fly in disbelief, yelling and asking: "Why can you leave, why aren't you killed? It's not fair! I don't agree How can you kill me alone? How can you kill me alone? Go kill him! Go kill him! Kill him too.”

The chicken killer ignored the crowing of the rooster.

He raised the knife and dropped it, and the noisy rooster died.

This story is written, but I feel that the direction is too obvious.

In order to cover up his sarcasm and sarcasm.

Al added a brief recipe later on, pretentiously and superficially: [Well, a noisy little rooster, with boiled bacon oil, a little flour, white wine, salt, pepper and assorted spices, slow fire Bring to a simmer and serve with a dash of lemon. ]

When the painter Robert saw this, he couldn't help smiling.

He couldn't help joking with Mr. Curtis in private: "Oh, this kid is amazing! If I offended him before, it would at most turn into a 'My Friend' series; but now that I offend him, it would become a 'Little Cock'." , and it will be written into the recipe.”

The author has something to say:

PS. The recipes are cobbled together, it won’t taste good after cooking.
