[Rebirth] King of Theater

"Don't lose heart, buddy!"

Afterwards, Best encouraged and said: "As long as you don't get discouraged, go talk to Al... well, I really don't know how to chase a man, but if you don't do anything, you won't be able to chase him back. You have to be active." Take the initiative! Think about the friendship you shared weal and woe with in the past, think about the alliance you made with blood, what is that blond boy!"

The more Luke listened to it, the more it made sense, and he couldn't help but feel more comfortable, and thought to himself: "The blond boy is indeed born like a dog, but that's all. Al is living with him now, and he is probably blind for a while. , or that kid used some tricks in secret. Al looks shrewd on the outside, but his heart is so soft, maybe he was fooled because of something, but it doesn’t mean he’s really in love, right? Sigh..."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help muttering for the ten thousandth time: "That damned blond boy, why can't he be as ugly as, like that bell ringer Quasimodo?"

Afterwards, he bid farewell to Best for a while, left the bar, returned home, and began to think seriously about how to get Al back.

As Best said, "I really don't know how to chase a man, but if you don't do anything, you will definitely not be able to chase him back." Therefore, after thinking about it, tossing and turning, he decided to confess first, but how to say it specifically, he Feeling a little worried again, I thought about it while facing a mirror in the bedroom, and practiced it a dozen times over and over again.

On the other end, Al is still trying to convince Mr. Andrews...

In the conversation, he has been wise to talk only about the work and not say a word about the bloody Fairman.

This strategy has undoubtedly been successful.

Mr. Andrews' attention was pulled back to the script bit by bit, and he gradually forgot the provocative behavior of Fairman before. In other words, when personal grievances and artistic pursuits were put together, artistic pursuits undoubtedly occupied In the face of artistic pursuit, all shadows will be like ice and snow meeting the scorching sun, and will soon disappear without a trace.

So, when the conversation between the two was over, Mr. Andrews had been persuaded by Al and agreed to cooperate.

It's just different from Director Costa's admiration. When he looked at the play "The Man Who Laughs", his view was not optimistic.

"I admit, it's going to be a good show. Especially the few demos you brought, well, the opening part called "Lonely" sounds amazing, and what surprised me even more is that similar, It's a surprise, Mr. Sylvie, that there are several pieces of music as soul-stirring as this. But..."

Having said that, he finally couldn't help yawning, he huddled himself in the big chair, and drooped his head, because he had been discussing with Al all day, he looked very tired, and his voice became weak: "However, as you must know, the subject matter is so serious that I doubt the audience will be able to sit for two hours."

"Uh, yes, there is indeed a problem in this regard. Director Costa and I have also considered it, but..."

Al was very puzzled by this: "Since you are not optimistic, why did you agree to cooperate with me?"

Andrews glanced at him, smiled unconsciously, and deliberately replied with the words that Alner used to routinely say to himself at the beginning: "Because I don't want to miss a great work."

When Al heard the arrogant remarks he said before, his face couldn't help but his face became hot, and the roots of his ears turned red: "You're joking."

Andrews couldn't help laughing. He thought it was amused, but also a little bit surprised. He sighed in his heart and thought, "Hey, this shy look is really different from the proud one before!"

However, the exclamation belongs to the exclamation.

He didn't intend to embarrass others, and quickly added an explanation: "My opinion may not be right... Well, actually, I like the script very much."

This series of words are all vague.

Al thought about it and tried to understand it. He guessed what he meant—the audience may not like this show, but I like it, so I agreed to cooperate.

It sounds really capricious and arbitrary.

but……

My goal is to find a producer who can help.

And no matter what Andrews thinks or says...

The final result is agreed.

That's fine.

"I still feel like I'm dreaming. I said it was useless before, but why...?"

Afterwards, when Director Costa learned that Mr. Andrews had actually agreed to become the producer of the show, he kept a sleepwalking expression on his face: "Do you know what it feels like, Al? We were still worrying about how to go to sea a moment ago. In a moment we'll be sailing into the wind."

Al asked amusedly, "Wouldn't it be nice to sail into the wind, my friend?"

"It's good, but it's too fast..."

Director Costa's mind was full of questions, such as "how did you convince Andrews" "how did the matter with Fairman be resolved" "is this really so sure?" 'etc.

But when the words came to my lips, I didn't know where to ask them.

In the end, he gave up the boring pursuit and turned his attention to the next casting.

After all, with the arrival of the producer, many delayed and stagnant schedules are bound to usher in a fast forward.

The field involved in a large-scale musical is often broader than any other form of drama.A creative team can’t just have a screenwriter, director, producer, and leading actors. Stage managers, choreography, costume design, set design, lighting, photography, dancers, bands...all of these have to be called together.

Mr. Andrews is amazingly mobile, experienced and well-connected.

He first helped to solve the most important money problem, and applied for a sum of money to a certain drama foundation under the name of 'supporting the growth of outstanding young playwrights' (Al: Uh, outstanding young playwrights?) , Then, I negotiated a few more loans from the bank, and then, in less than a week, I gathered more than half of the creative team's needs...

Director Al and Costa are completely convinced.

Although this gentleman has an introverted personality and is still taciturn at ordinary times, he is not as talkative and willing to communicate with others as Fairman, but he can continue to move things forward and forward quickly with such an amazing work efficiency... Well, no matter who he is As for me, there is nothing to be picky about.

In the next few days, when Mr. Andrews took over the chores and chores, Al and Director Costa only had to worry about choosing actors.

While contacting theater companies and some theater agents, providing them with a list of roles, and waiting for the other party to send over suitable actors, they posted recruitment notices on theater bulletin boards and some newspapers.

Only this time, Al underestimated his current fame.

It also ignores the fame of Director Costa and Mr. Andrews in the industry.

So, when the three of them got together, similar gossip spread like wildfire: [Well-known playwrights, directors and producers have teamed up to produce a super production, in order to enter Broadway (not a lie) , all theater people probably want to enter Broadway [Note]), a series of roles and handsome salaries, are waiting for actors.Moreover, this time the scale is large, everyone has a chance! ]

Who knows where this rumor came from, maybe it was purely made up?

But the consequences of this are: for a relatively important role, there will be fifty, no, a hundred actors eagerly waiting for the opportunity. However, in the first round of selection, such a role, According to the original plan, only two to three people were needed.

The author has something to say:

It seems that there should be no Shura field, and I also want to fast forward.

[Note] Many people may have a misunderstanding, thinking that as long as it is an American play or musical, it can be called a Broadway work, but it is not.Broadway productions specifically refer to plays that have been staged in "Broadway theaters", and there are only 41 "Broadway theaters" in the world.In other words, if you want to become a Broadway production, you must first find a way to perform in these 41 theaters (generally speaking, there are more plays and fewer theaters, and the competition is fierce).
