[Rebirth] King of Theater

For the matter of 'meeting his son's boyfriend', Matt really paid attention.

Although he didn't buy new clothes and make a new look as Randy said, he still organized himself a little bit, put on a suit, and put on an appearance of an elder in a serious manner.

It's just that what makes Randy more depressed is...

His rare (seemingly) reliable father made a very unreliable request: "Randy, can you go out by yourself? I want to chat with Al alone."

"What do you want to do again?" Randy immediately dragged Matt to the other side, and asked in a low voice.

"You should trust me, son." Matt said solemnly: "I just want to get to know your boyfriend better. Don't worry, I will only say good things about you, and I will never say bad things about you."

Randy looked skeptical.

But Al seems to think that 'communicating alone' is a normal situation, so he supports Matt's proposal very much, and offered to help Randy go: "Go to the supermarket and buy some food and come back, don't worry too much, your father and I were originally the same. I know each other, so I just took this opportunity to have a good chat."

Randy had to agree.

Before going out, he also quietly warned his father: "Don't talk nonsense, and don't show Al your obscene and dirty collection... In short, you give me almost a little."

Matt was perfunctory, but agreed to everything.

But no matter how you look at it, it's not reassuring.

But things have come to this, Randy couldn't think of any good solution for a while, so he had to go out full of anxiety.

However, what he didn't expect was that his father Matt was really serious this time, or rather, he was a little too serious.

"Do you really want to be with Randy?"

After Randy left, Matt asked such a pointed question as soon as he came up.

Al was a little surprised, but still gave a serious answer: "Yes, I'm not a person who likes to force myself."

Then, he added: "You should actually have some confidence in Randy, he is so good, how could anyone not love him."

Matt curled his lips, feeling disgusted with his son deep in his heart, and didn't particularly appreciate the kind words.

But on the surface, he naturally wanted to agree with this: "Well, that's right, Randy is like me, he is excellent in every way."

If it was Randy, he would probably start to firmly oppose the conclusion of 'like dad'.

But since he wasn't there, Al naturally kept smiling and didn't interrupt.

"Randy was precocious from a young age."

Matt didn't know what was touched, and suddenly recalled the past: "I don't actually remember who his mother is, and it doesn't matter anyway. But that woman is so cruel, she threw the child at my door in winter. I didn't want to raise a child, any orphanage, or finding a childless couple to adopt is the most worry-free solution. And, you know what? I was a super star at the time, with a bunch of The person behind my ass is responsible for helping me clean up the mess. Therefore, as long as I say a word, this little P child will immediately disappear from my eyes without a trace."

"But you didn't do that, did you?"

Al listened attentively and responded immediately.

Matt smiled, and made a gesture of holding a child: "I hugged him like this at the time, and there was a strange feeling of being connected by blood. He is my own son, isn't he? Although I'm a jerk, it doesn't count. I fell in love with a good man, but that was my own son after all. Besides, my thoughts at the time were simple, I thought it was easy to raise a child, just spend some money, take care of food and drink, and just hire a nanny... But then one time, I found out that the nanny thought he was crying and making noise, so he actually gave him a sleep aid drug while I was away. Although I found it in time, it really scared me. "

Al couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

Matt is still a little angry when he thinks about it: "I drove away the nanny and told her to go to prison to confess..."

He continued with an unhappy face: "But this incident left a little shadow on me. I'm not saying that all nannies will do this, but there are always good people and bad people in this world. After that, I couldn't believe it. Others will sincerely take care of my son. There is no way, I can only take him on the road, like growing a small tail, and take it wherever I go, for many years."

Al was amused by the description of Matt's 'little tail', and the expression on his face became very gentle.

Matt continued to recall: "I thought I was raising my son, but in fact, this precocious son helped me a lot later. When I was driving, he would sit in the co-pilot's position to study the map, and Remind me accurately and in time, 'Dad, wake up, don't sleep, turn left quickly', Jesus Christ, I am a fool! Fortunately he reminded me, otherwise I almost hit a tree; when I was drinking at a party , he would tug on my sleeve, 'Dad, you have a performance tomorrow, don't drink'; I was under too much pressure for a while, and I was surrounded by cronies, and I often drank after I got off the stage until I was drunk. When I woke up, I was dragged onto the stage in a daze, so it was all up to Randy. 'Dad, you can't go on stage in your pajamas', 'Dad, get up, it's time', 'Dad, eat first Get something, or you'll be hungry on stage'."

Al couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

He couldn't help but imagine Randy's cute look when he was a child, and thought: "What a little angel."

"I have done a lot of bad and unreliable things in my life, but the only correct decision was probably to choose to keep this child and raise it." Matt continued to sigh.

Al nodded beside him.

Although they knew that the father and son disliked each other in their daily relationship, it was obvious that it was just an appearance. The father and son had been dependent on each other for many years, so they must have deep feelings.

"I've always known that living with a bastard like me is tiring...so, I never put too high demands on Randy, and I'm not the kind of father who expects his son to make great achievements in the future. Live happily, you can sing like me, and it doesn’t matter if you want to be a chef, as long as he likes it. Everything is like this, but..."

Matt raised his head suddenly, looked directly at Al, and changed the topic: "But, he fell in love with you."

The atmosphere of relaxed chatting before was swept away.

Al didn't react for a while, and stared at him blankly.

"For you, he is willing to change his life. Before, because of me, he had no interest in becoming a famous star, but now, he can't wait to be famous, just because he wants to act in the script you wrote... ..."

Matt said calmly but bluntly: "With all due respect, my son is a bit stupid emotionally. Don't lie to him."

The father and son were deeply affectionate at the first moment, and the daily confrontation between father and son was exposed at the next second.

Al was almost amused by this sentence: "You can keep your heart in your stomach, I dare not say that my feelings for Randy are deeper than Randy's feelings for me, because feelings are something that cannot be To measure and compare, but I can promise you, and I can swear to God, that I will never cheat a man who loves me. If I do, call me a terrible death."

Matt's expression gradually eased.

He is still not the kind of person who believes in love, so he still has some doubts about Al's words, but because of his son Randy's repeated warnings, he feels that he should treat the child in front of him well to avoid being dragged down by his son. The hind legs created some obstacles for no reason.

But as a bastard with poor social skills...

After much deliberation, there was no good way to get closer to each other, so he simply picked up the guitar and played a piece of "Cavatina" to Al.

It was a wise move.

The piece itself is very nice, and Matt plays it alright.

Al is even more eloquent, and directly praised Matt's three-point skills to ten.

If you ignore the matter of his son Randy, Matt really likes Al: "Hey, he looks good and speaks well..."

The atmosphere in the room became more and more cheerful.

So, when Randy came back, he found that his unreliable father and Al were leaning against each other, and looked at the score intimately.

He stood there thinking for a long time, but couldn't figure out what was going on.

------------

"It's a bad joke."

On the other end, facing Pierre Frondi's proposal of 'buying the theater', Luke said calmly, "We have no intention of selling it, you have found the wrong person."

"I take it very seriously."

Pierre Flondi said sincerely: "My dear, don't dismiss this either. I have come here in good faith and I am willing to offer a reasonable price. If this time the negotiation does not work out, I will pay you in a few days." I can come again."

"Trust me, theater has no future."

Then, he put a business card on Luke's desk, turned and left.

Luke picked up the business card and looked at it. At the same time, he kept thinking about the cause and effect of this incident.

Pierre Frondi's purpose is obvious. He probably took a fancy to the good location of this theater and wanted to buy it and turn it into a movie theater.As for what he said about "the prospect of the theater is bleak", it is not a bluff in light of the fact that the box office has been deserted in recent years, and in recent years there have indeed been rumors that "some small and medium-sized theaters could not survive and eventually went bankrupt". .

In such a situation where the prospects are known to be bad, it seems to be a normal business operation to sell the theater and reduce losses.

but……

"What would Al think?"

Luke couldn't help but ponder: "Would he be willing to sell the theater?"

The author has something to say:

PS. Don’t talk about drinking and driving. It’s not right for children to sit in the co-pilot. Everyone’s correct views are worthy of praise, but any behavior that discusses the right and wrong of things regardless of the background of the novel and the character’s personality is hooliganism.
