[Rebirth] King of Theater

In fact, Al has long realized that Luke's attitude towards him is somewhat ambiguous.

It's just that Luke's talents seem to be based on his ability to work, and he is extremely slow in his emotions.

By the time Al relied on analysis and finally confirmed it, the time had progressed to the point where he and Randy had confirmed their relationship with each other.

In this way, no matter whether Luke is intentional or unintentional, Al thinks he is not a two-footed person, so he will naturally start to avoid other people consciously.

So, even at this point!

Luke still hasn't come to his senses.

Al thinks about it, it's good not to know.

After a long time, the thoughts will fade away, and then they can continue to be good brothers and family members.

And the reason for this choice is that...

He likes Luke, but doesn't love him.

Love is so elusive.

Although Al thinks that his little buddy is good in everything and is excellent in every class, but if you don’t like him, you don’t like him, there is really nothing you can do about it.

Based on the above reasons...

Al really hoped that Luke would never realize it, that it would be silly but not so sad.

It's just that fate always plays tricks on people like this.

An inadvertent, unexpected thing happened after all.

What's even more bloody is that Al accidentally ran into the scene where the two were facing each other behind their backs.

God is my witness, this scene can embarrass people to death.

Al just needs to imagine a little bit, and he feels like he is about to suffocate.

He didn't want to make Randy think too much, and he didn't want to embarrass Luke...

So, after stopping Anthony from making a sound in time and alarming the two...

He picked up his younger brother neatly and fled in a hurry.

After walking back to the corridor on the other side of the rehearsal room to ensure that no one saw the scene just now, he let go of his hand and put Anthony back on the ground.Then, he squatted down and asked Anthony gently: "Promise me, don't say anything you heard or saw today, okay?"

Anthony habitually gave his brother a bright smile first, and then began to understand the meaning of these few words.

"I don't quite get it, Al." He asked, confused but honest. "You want me to keep a secret? But I don't know a secret."

Obviously.

The euphemistic dialogue between Luke and Randy may not be understood by any adult, let alone a child who doesn't even know the cause and effect.

But just in case, I still have to continue to ask.

Al thought for a while, and summed it up in simple sentences as much as possible: "You just need to forget about the meeting between your brother Luke and Brother Randy just now. Well, by the way, forget about what happened to me later."

"But...why?"

Anthony asked curiously.

"It's a little complicated, and it also involves some other people's privacy that I can't explain to you."

While thinking about it, Al slowly explained: "To put it simply, this is like... Like one day, you secretly ate candy while hiding under the bed, but someone saw you..."

"Ah, brother, you promised me to keep it secret."

"I didn't tell anyone, I just used it as an example. I mean, if you accidentally tell this, your brother Luke, brother Randy, and me, the three of us The mood will probably become the same as you just now."

Anthony couldn't help following Al's words, substituting himself into the context—the story of hiding under the bed and stealing candy was accidentally told, and then everyone knew about it!

Thinking of this, he immediately understood: "Ah, it would be embarrassing, wouldn't it?"

"Yes, a similar emotion."

Al replied, smoothing the frizzy blond wig on the kid's head with his fingers.

But Anthony stretched out his little hand uncomfortably, grasping his fidgeting fingers, with a gesture of sympathy and comfort on his face.

Then, he said in a rather serious manner: "Don't worry, dear brother! I won't tell others, and I won't make you feel ashamed."

Al was very moved.

After he hugged the child back into his arms and bowed his head to kiss him again, his messy mood finally got better.

After a while, Randy slowly walked back from there.

He was a little distracted at the beginning. On the one hand, he may still be jealous of Luke and Alzeng's close past; on the other hand, after hearing that Luke could give him a blessing , I was very awkward deep down in my heart, I was narrow-minded and didn't really want to accept the blessings from my rival, but I also felt a little sympathetic to him...

He thought about it all the way, and his mood was naturally very tangled.

But when he walked to the rehearsal room and saw Al, those messy emotions disappeared in an instant, as if they were nothing worth mentioning, and he just wanted to look at his lover wholeheartedly.

Al wondered what was going on between Luke and Randy.

But he restrained himself and acted frankly and naturally, as if he didn't know anything as before, and stood up, as if eagerly asking: "My God, where have you been? What happened to you?" Is it? I was going to find you."

Randy did not doubt that he was there, and immediately returned a comforting smile: "It's nothing, don't worry, I just feel that the room is stuffy, so I came out to get some air, and walked around casually."

"Is that right?"

"Yeah, that's it, that's it."

Anthony, who was ignored, raised his little head, looked left and right, with a dull expression, and was very shocked in his heart.

"Ah, are you actually telling all lies?" The child's world view was instantly shattered into pieces: "Are all my brothers liars?"

In the afternoon, the crew began rehearsing another scene.

In this newly rehearsed scene, there are mainly two important villains to appear, one is the half-brother David Dilly-Moai of the actor Gwynplaine, and the other is Princess Josiana , both are representatives of cruelty, tyranny and moral corruption.

These two roles are not low in the play.

Therefore, Director Costa deliberately chose relatively well-known and powerful actors when casting roles, and tried to give them trust during the first rehearsal. Instead of explaining to them at the first time, he asked the two to go On the stage, let’s develop ourselves first, hoping to get some new inspiration from it.

So, the rehearsal began.

Linney, the actress who plays Princess Josiana, and Frank, the actor who plays David Thierry-Moai, have beautiful movements and a well-paced rhythm.It was just that they had just stood on the stage, and Al felt a slight incongruity, but considering it was the first rehearsal, he didn't immediately raise any objections.

However, apart from him, both Director Costa and Mr. Andrews were quite satisfied with the performance on stage.

Princess Josiana, played by Linney, is charming and romantic; David Dilly-Moai, played by Frank, is arrogant and masculine.

Both of them lived up to their fame and were both excellent actors.

Therefore, Al took the incongruity he felt before as his own momentary illusion.

Rehearsals continued, but during the second rehearsal, Director Costa stopped letting the actors do what they wanted.

He walked onto the stage, whispered a few words to the actors one by one, and then returned to the auditorium to watch the performances of the actors on the stage from the front. When he encountered something he was not satisfied with, he yelled to stop and started all over again.

The actors just acted over and over again, and the process was very boring.

When the sun went down and the day was about to pass, Director Costa clapped his hands and drew everyone's attention to himself, and suggested: "Let's go through this scene completely and thoroughly at the end. If there is no problem If so, then today can be over."

The exhausted actors breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the vast majority of them love this industry, their physical strength and concentration have gradually declined after long rehearsals. At this time, they can hear the news that it is about to end. A ray of hope.Therefore, they quickly ran back to the stage, stood in their own positions, and waited quietly for the start.

They played well.

Al looked at it for a long time, but couldn't find anything wrong with it.

In the next few days, basically repeat the work of this day.

But Al didn't know why, it was still the same as before, always feeling a little incongruous, but couldn't find it.

Everyone felt that he pursued perfection so much that he thought too much.

"Maybe you are too nervous, and your spirit is too tight." Director Costa also kindly persuaded: "Come on, take a deep breath! Take it easy, my dear."

Al could only smile helplessly.

Until one day, when Randy was practicing singing character songs, he habitually recorded a voice for himself, so that he could improve while listening.

Al had a flash of inspiration, and immediately asked him to record a sound for the actors who were performing on the stage.

That night, he went back and listened to the recording, and he was stunned: "Are you kidding me! What the hell is going on with the actress Linney who plays Princess Josiana? Her voice is so shrill and thin. It's fine with melodiousness, but she actually sings out of tune!"

Of course, people cannot be rejected immediately based on such a recording.

Moreover, after rehearsing for such a long time, no one from the crew raised any protests. Does that mean that I made a mistake?

Out of prudence...

Al pulled Randy again, took advantage of the rehearsal time, and recorded a few times seriously. Once, he simply pulled the band over to help and played accompaniment.

But unfortunately...

That Miss Linney was so single-minded and persistent that she sang always out of tune, with or without accompaniment.

How did this guy get into the group?

Go through the back door?

"I can't take it anymore."

Al had no choice but to go to communicate with Director Costa and Mr. Andrews: "We have to figure out something, otherwise, I really don't want to do it."

"Damn! What do you mean by that?" Director Costa asked angrily.

"Please explain clearly." Mr. Andrews' face also sank.

"My God! Make it clear? Well, have you heard the recordings of our rehearsals?"

"Well, I recently rehearsed walking, dancing...recording? Who recorded it?"

"I asked Randy to record it, do you want to hear it?"

"listen."
