[Rebirth] King of Theater

Al has never been very good at getting along with his younger siblings.

It's not that he hates his younger brothers and sisters, on the contrary, whenever he sees that John, Mary and Antonio can have a healthy and happy life, he will be elated, and he will stuff some delicious snacks into their hands from time to time, or Pocket money, at the same time, I can't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart that "I changed the tragedy, I supported them".

But if he is allowed to play and chat intimately with his younger brothers and sisters, that is another matter.

"Hey, these brats and I have already lived in two worlds. What can we talk about? What did we eat this morning? What did the teachers at school teach...Let's forget it." Al always felt that he Too old psychologically, there is really no way to integrate into the world of young people.

But unexpectedly...

Randy was able to hang out with his siblings instead.

That day, he took his youngest brother, Antonio, back to his home, and was surprised to find that Randy was busy with Mary in the kitchen. When the two were chatting about what to eat, the discussion was indescribably intense. , Don't mention how close you are!

Moreover, after seeing her eldest brother enter the door, Mary still looked anxious, but ran over with a little eagerness and asked, "Al, can I also take the culinary school in the future."

Also take the exam? !

Al was taken aback when he heard the words, and instead of answering her immediately, he looked at Randy with a strange expression: "You instigated it?"

Randy smiled and spread his hands to show his innocence.

Al didn't believe it was none of his business, so he gave him an annoyed look.

So, Mary looked at the two people suspiciously, always feeling that there seemed to be a strange tacit understanding between her elder brother and this overly good-looking man, so they could communicate directly with their eyes without too many words .

Although there are quite a lot of doubts and speculations about this scene in my heart...

But Mary absolutely didn't want to hurt others for no reason because of herself, so she hurriedly defended: "Oh, my brother, please don't get me wrong. You know, I like to play with food since I was a child. I followed my mother around in the kitchen. The reason why I didn’t think about it before was that I was short-sighted. I never knew that there was such a good place as a chef school in the world. Just now, Mr. Pavande chatted with me and said inadvertently Remembering that I graduated from a chef school, I have such an obsessive idea..."

"Honey, don't worry, don't worry. I just said that casually, not to accuse anyone, but..."

Al gently persuaded: "Mary, I know you like to eat. But in fact, you don't have to be a cook if you like to eat. You can also make money, and then hire a bunch of cooks to cook for you. "

But Mary replied without hesitation: "It's always more fun to cook by yourself."

Al was startled, thought for a while, and thought it made sense, so he simply put on a down-to-earth tone, neither objecting nor agreeing: "Hobbies and work are two different things, and it's a bit complicated. It’s not time to really make a choice. I have nothing against you being a chef, but I don’t rush to make this decision. You will have time to think about it when you know more about it later.”

Mary nodded thoughtfully.

This girl was precocious since she was a child, and judging from her expression, she seemed to have made up her mind.

At this time, Al couldn't help but think of Mrs. Sylvie's words that asked him to support his younger brothers and sisters... Now, he couldn't help laughing.

He thought to himself: "Oh, mother, what's the use of thinking so much all day long? You expect my younger brothers and sisters to come to work in the theater and ask me to help them a lot. But they don't want to come at all. Well. John will leave it alone for now, but look at Mary, she looks like she wants to learn to cook..."

At the same time, he talked with his sister about his ideals in life...

Randy, however, befriends his youngest brother, Antonio.

"Excuse me, are you Al's friend?"

At first, it was Antonio who took the initiative to ask, like a little adult.

When Randy heard this, he couldn't help but looked at the child from head to toe with great interest.

Unlike sister Mary.

This child is indeed a bit like Al, both have black curly hair and green eyes, only a little younger, and the baby fat on his face has not faded, making him look a little chubby.

However, because he has never been exposed to any bad things since he was a child, he has never been hungry or suffered, and the people around him are very friendly to him...

Therefore, unlike Al's complex temperament, this child has an extremely pure and innocent aura, and most of them are ignorant of the sufferings of the world.

"That's right, I'm your brother's good friend." Randy looked at the child over and over and compared it secretly before speaking.

But without waiting for anyone to answer, he teased the child with a smile: "You ask this, what's the matter?"

Antonio announced with a very serious look: "Since you are my brother's friend, you are also my friend."

He raised his head and asked very seriously: "Do you agree?"

Randy was amused by his appearance as a young adult, and because of his love for the house and cubs, he had a lot of affection for the child, and immediately said: "I'm so happy, baby."

Then, he squatted down, hugged and hugged the child's small body, and kissed him lightly.Later, he willingly played many childish games with the child, such as hide and seek.

It's incredible.

Al wondered, "He's kind of fond of kids."

But when Antonio was taken aside by Mary to play, Randy whispered: "Don't get me wrong, I don't like children. I'm happy to play with Antonio simply because he looks like you. You played when you were a child."

"I was as ugly as a hairless monkey when I was a child, and I didn't look like that at all!" Al complained in his heart, not taking Randy's words seriously at all, only thinking that the man was coaxing himself with sweet words, and instead of talking, he turned serious Talking about another incident that occurred on a whim before, he pointed to his younger brother and asked, "Tell me, how about letting Antonio play Gwynplaine when he was a child?"

"Ah, it's hard to say." Randy couldn't help thinking hesitantly.

He didn't agree indiscriminately because Antonio is his lover's younger brother, but frowned and gave an objection: "Although the audience will be more tolerant of child actors, Al... it's not that I want to hit you. Playing the role of Gwynplaine when she was a child The little actor has to appear at the beginning, which is quite demanding for an actor, if one accidentally leaves the scene, have you ever thought about it, that is the first act of the whole play!"

"...You're right, I didn't think it through enough." Al immediately admitted his mistake.

Instead, Randy softened his tone and tried to comfort him: "You can't say that, I was a little serious just now, but you just brought him to try it out, you can't tell if it works or not."

"Forget it, forget it, let's not mention this for now, it's too early to choose actors now."

Al lowered his head and looked at his watch: "Oh, I'm too slow. The appointment with director Costa Winchell is about to arrive. Randy, let's go quickly and meet the director first."

So to speak...

Without taking good care of his younger siblings, the worrying Al couldn't go out at all.

He called and called an hourly worker who lived nearby and would usually be hired to clean up. He paid her to take care of the two children at home, and asked Mary, who was older, to look after the younger ones. My younger brother Antonio hurried out the door.

Because of the delay, I was a little late when I arrived at Director Costa Winchell's house.

Fortunately, the director is not idle.

Guided by the maid, when the two walked into his study...

He made a gesture of waiting, and continued to talk on the phone with his head down: "Ah, you really have to watch it, this will be a good drama... Well, you're right if you want to say that, I really don't have any evidence to prove it. But the story In line with your usual style, what you are good at... Yes, yes, I understand, passion can create success..."

"Sounds like a sales pitch?"

Al inevitably thought of "The Man Who Laughs", and couldn't help guessing: "Could it be a certain producer that Director Costa likes?"

At this time, Director Costa finally finished speaking and hung up the phone: "Ah, you're here, Al!"

He took the initiative to stand up, took two steps forward, warmly hugged the young playwright, and shook his hand tightly: "It's so nice to see you! After we finished talking last time, I'm looking for We have hired several producers, and currently there are two who are interested in our drama..."

"That's not in a hurry." Al interrupted him, pointing to Randy who was standing in the corner and introduced: "Let's meet our leading actor, Randy Pavender, who will play Gwynplaine in the future." .

Director Costa was taken aback for a moment, as if he realized the existence of another person.

He moved his eyes away from Al, and looked at Randy for a long time without saying a word.

Al was very confused: "Director? Director Costa?"

Only then did Director Costa come to his senses: "My God, this guy is so good-looking too!"

Randy raised his eyebrows, but said nothing.

Al smiled proudly.

But who knows...

Director Costa's next sentence was: "You said let him play Gwynplaine? No, no, not at all."

……what happened?Are you fine?

You were still praising how beautiful it was just a second ago!

For a moment, Al and Randy were stunned.

You know, before officially meeting Director Costa Winchell, the two of them had teased each other about Randy's "What if the director doesn't like me" and came up with a very positive answer— —Unless you are a blind, fool, or madman, I will not like you!

But never imagined!

Director Costa Winchell is actually that blind, fool, and lunatic!
