[Rebirth] King of Theater

There will always be such a moment in a person's life occasionally-feeling strange to the familiar relatives and friends around him.

Here 'unfamiliar' does not mean something bad, but has to look at each other with a new look.

Al stood there, blinking his eyes, as if a little surprised, but also a little relieved.

For a moment, time seems to be going backwards quickly, and countless figures of Luke have emerged, such as the yellow-haired stupid thief who ran to steal the TV set; the silly boy who was asked by his grandma to come to thank him; He is a 'saint', but a good buddy who will help out righteously...

Until now!

The messy yellow hair that used to be combed out has been combed. In recent years, I have slowly learned to wear a suit and tie, and the posture of smoking the cigarette has not changed. His face disappeared, and he had changed into a mature and steady look, and, most importantly, he gradually had his own thinking and strong judgment, instead of following others' advice.

Thinking of this, Al was very happy for him: "Wonderful! Your idea is very creative..."

But after he finished speaking, he changed the subject and said apologetically, "But, my dear, I still prefer the theater to the movie theater."

Luke was slightly taken aback, as if he wanted to say something.

But Al took the lead and continued: "Listen to me first, buddy! The momentum of film development is so strong now, if making films is sure to make money, there is no doubt about it. In comparison, theaters are indeed a bit behind , I haven’t received much money in the past few years. But what should I say about this?”

"I love theater, even if it doesn't make money. In fact, making money usually means only one thing to me—creative freedom. With money, I don't have to worry about supporting my family. I put all my energy and interest into drama, and I can write whatever I want. Dude, I don’t want to talk about pursuits and dreams, but doing so will really make me happy, from the bottom of my heart happy……"

In the end, he said softly again with apology: "So, Luke, your idea is very good. But as long as I don't get to the point of poverty, no matter how difficult the business is, how bad it is, or how it goes downhill, I'm fine. Will not choose to give up."

"What are you talking about?" Luke finally got the chance to speak.

He looked impatient, and said a little rudely: "You can do whatever you say, haven't we always been like this? There's a lot of chatter, I don't know what you want to say, if you don't make a movie theater, don't make a movie theater , what can I say?"

"Look, Luke." Al showed an expected expression.

He objected seriously: "I knew you would say that, but it's wrong to say that."

"Damn it, do you speak English? Or speak your native dialect like your mother, why can't I understand it!"

"I mean, you're too attached to me, Luke."

"According to you?"

"Yes, Luke, you are so kind. It has been like this since I was a child. Even if you don't like or like what I say, you are willing to follow me regardless. I used to feel very happy, but this is wrong. ..."

"God, Al, what the hell are you crazy about today? I'm willing to follow you, what's wrong with that?"

"Of course it's not good. No one should listen to another person for no reason. Everyone should be an independent and autonomous individual. You originally had great talents and abilities, but because of me...don't talk shit Your kindness, you have helped me a lot before, and I really have to count it up, and I don’t know who should thank whom. In short, if you ignore your inner thoughts and blindly rely on me, it’s a waste of money. Great talent and youth, I feel really uncomfortable."

"What the hell are you thinking?"

"I hope you can have your own business! It's not about helping me do this or that, but having something you want to do."

"I don't know."

"Back then I could buy a theater with a loan, and now you can also buy a movie theater with a loan, as long as you want to..."

"I do not want to do!"

"Oh, Luke, don't be like this. You are my best friend, and I have always told you the truth. Before... I used to be selfish and wanted you to help me all the time. You are so good, Since I handed over the theater to you, there has never been a single mistake. There is no one who makes me feel more at ease than you. But people can't be so selfish. You obviously have the ability to spread your wings and fly high, but you stay here because of me. In a small theater..."

Luke lowered his face: "Stop talking."

He protested angrily: "If you continue to make decisions for me indiscriminately, and say some unpleasant things in the name of 'for my own good', I will... I will, I will beat you."

The conversation ends here.

Afterwards, Luke once again rejected Pierre Frondi's proposal, and privately warned those who were almost persuaded one by one, because he was the leader of these people in his early years, and he was more powerful than Al. Knowing them, no matter what these people think in their hearts, they were indeed suppressed on the surface and restored their previous calm.

As for what Pierre Frondi will do next, it is not clear for the time being.

On the other hand, Al still wanted to persuade Luke to 'start his own business'.

In his opinion, Luke managed the theater in an orderly manner before, and he obviously has management talents. Now, he can see the business opportunity of the movie theater, and his own knowledge and vision are enough. It is impossible to make contributions at the top.

On the contrary, if you follow yourself, you will be wasted.

Because his plan for himself has always been to create a wonderful drama...

And in this process, there is really too little room for Luke to play.

Al, who was worried about the future development of his friends, couldn't help complaining a little on his food column:

[The lobster is delicious and one of the most powerful and beautiful freshwater prawns. ]

[When they are neatly arranged in a white porcelain plate, it looks like a plate full of rubies. ]

[The history of eating lobster in the United States can be traced back to the time of the Indians. I won’t talk about it here. The specific method of eating will be attached later. ]

[What's really admirable is - the lobster's self-motivation. ]

[Not long ago, a chef from a flower-growing country told me that a group of lobsters left their hometowns and traveled across the ocean to the flower-growing country, and jumped into the frying pan with all their lives! ]

[The people who planted flowers were greatly touched and carried away, and couldn't help exclaiming from their mouths, no, from their stomachs. They were deeply moved by the hardships that lobsters have come from afar, and they are also deeply moved by lobsters' never-ending, pioneering and enterprising spirit! ]

[Since then, this group of brave lobsters has completely conquered everyone in that mysterious country, and has become a frequent visitor on the dining table. ]

[The lobster who bravely left his hometown finally created a magnificent and brilliant career in the far east! ]

[What a respectable and lovely lobster! ]

[Leaving the place is not terrible, people really should learn a lot from it. ]
