[Rebirth] King of Theater

After the script reading meeting, as a "new playwright" in the eyes of others.

Al went through all the work with astonishing speed.

Director Hank Lee, who had already prepared in advance to "struggle to cooperate with a layman, slow down, and move forward a little bit", almost didn't keep up with the rhythm, and was quite stunned for a while.

You know, this old-fashioned director never appreciated the so-called young geniuses.

There is an extremely prejudiced thought in his mind: "If a person has no talent, but is obedient, diligent, and with proper education and training, it is very easy to be taught to become a talent; but if a person has so much If you have a good talent, you will definitely hold on to your talent and not concentrate on doing things. Coupled with being young and frivolous, it is inevitable to do some ugly things that young people don't know how to love themselves. Although they can get a bit of fame in a short period of time, it will not last long. ]

So the conclusion is that genius must be unreliable.

In his mind, the young playwright he will be collaborating with this time should also be this kind of so-called genius who has some talent, but most of the time he wants to make trouble for others.After all, theory is not equal to practice. Don't look at the extravagantly written script, but when it comes to formal rehearsals, I'm afraid it will still be a drag. It will take a few months to gradually catch up with everyone's rhythm.

But who knows, when it comes to the official rehearsal, whether it is the performance of the actors, or the discussion of the arrangement, the scenery and the lighting design...

No matter what he said, Al could follow.

Moreover, its reaction speed can definitely be called a quick wit.

Even occasionally, with a flash of inspiration, I can come up with some very good insights.

These insights do not mean how proficient they are, or what level of expertise they have reached.

It’s just an ingenious arrangement and use of various stage elements, but that kind of proficiency does not look like a novice at all, but looks like he has been immersed in this industry for more than ten years (Al: You are the truth) .

"Is there really a genius who is born with knowledge in this world?"

After just a few weeks of cooperation between director Hank Lee and Al, the world view that he had insisted on for half his life was shattered into pieces.

"God, where did this little monster come from?" he asked his friend privately.

Mr. Milson was baffled: "What do you mean it came from?"

"Is he human? Or, was he born normally?"

"Damn it! What are you talking about!! It wasn't a normal birth, could it be sent by a stork【Note 1】?"

"My friend, this is no longer a joke!"

Hank Li had a serious face, and asked impatiently: "I've been friends for many years, so just tell me the truth!"

"Say the truth?"

Mr. Milson was very confused at this moment.

"Almighty Lord!! What are you hiding at this time?"

Director Hank Lee then issued a series of questions angrily: "I don't believe there is such a genius! Tell me, where did you invite Arna kid? Does he have elders in his family who are also in our circle?" Yes, or who taught it from a young age? Someone has been secretly pointing out behind him? Is it because someone read "Hamlet" next to him and played Beethoven's Symphony of Destiny to him when he was born? Is it the first sentence he learned with his mouth open? Is Uneasylies the head that wears a crown.

Mr. Milson couldn't laugh or cry.

He couldn't help sighing: "Dear friend, I've known you for so many years, only to know that you are so humorous."

"Because it doesn't make sense at all!"

Director Hank Lee looked maddened by the huge impact: "He is only 14 years old, and he wrote scripts, music scores, and lyrics... Well, those songs are not really classics, but he ran to talk to our The music director and Matt got together to modify and modify it, and it actually fit the plot and characters very well. What's even more frightening is...you know? During the lunch break yesterday, he and the band members got together to play again, He picked up the trumpet and played a section in a decent manner, hey, he played very well! Well, tell me, how can a 14-year-old know so many things at the same time?"

While thinking, Mr. Milson took off his glasses and wiped them, but after thinking for a long time, he couldn't seem to make any sense: "Maybe..."

"Maybe..." He put his glasses back on and murmured, "Maybe God finally took care of me."

(Director Hank Lee: Liar, I am more devout to God, how can he only spoil you and not me?)

On the other end, Al was watching the performances of the actors, while taking a pen to carefully write and draw marks on the script.

In terms of his usual caution, he shouldn't have shown so many flaws in front of Director Hank Lee.

But some things simply cannot be hidden.

For example, during the rehearsal process, if he did not express his insights, an original plot in the script may be deleted by director Hank Lee as "unreasonable", but that part is likely to be exactly His favorite part.

Creators, no matter what industry they are in, cannot tolerate their works being smeared and changed by others at will.

It's like women absolutely don't allow ugly makeup artists to touch their faces!

Faced with this very likely problem...

Continuing to hide your talents is pure self-torture.

Al finally gave up: "Damn it!"

He murmured to himself: "What's the matter if I just admit that I'm a genius? These days, will someone kill me just because I'm a genius? So what am I afraid of? Even if I don't With the memory of my previous life as my guide, don’t I have more than ten years more than others? At most, I will study hard for the next ten years... Sigh, thinking about how stupid I was in my previous life, I can finally get through it slowly , Does it prove that I also have some talent?"

After thinking about it for a while, and cheering himself up in his heart, he didn't deliberately hide anything anymore, and instead focused on making the first musical in his life perfect.

At the same time, after director Hank Lee complained to his friend, he also changed his contemptuous attitude towards this talented young playwright.He no longer acted arbitrarily, but collected the problems encountered in the rehearsal, discussed and studied them with Mr. Al and Mr. Milson afterwards, and made relevant changes and adjustments.

Generally speaking, the ideological connotation, musical style and plot line of the whole play are all in the domain of Al; the performance of the stage actors belongs to the director Hank Lee; the commercial operation and the specific production of the musical are the responsibility of the producer Mr. Milson. thing.

It seems that they are not related to each other, but they actually communicate with each other, which means that they must work closely together to achieve the best results.

But everyone has different ideas, and there will always be disputes during the cooperation process.

This process is extremely interesting to outsiders.

The three of them often fought with each other, argued with each other, and even slapped the table and yelled at each other.

In particular, Al will jump up when he is short of breath (because he is short, he is anxious to be looked down upon).

Later, I don't know who snapped the photo:

The three of them formed a circle, glaring at each other without giving in!

this is nothing……

But the juvenile playwright's feet were off the ground (in the state of just jumping up), as if suspended in the air, very magical, and stared at the two adults with a very unflinching expression.

Although full of dramatic tension.

But the scene is really hilarious.

All the actors in the crew couldn't help being amazed.

They all thought that even if this kid was a little genius, but for the first time participating in the production of a musical, he was probably just an insignificant soy sauce role.

Unexpectedly, this posture is really not weak at all!

Moreover, as time passed, the child's voice in the crew became more and more important, and in the end, he was able to compete with the producer and director...

Everyone couldn't help sighing in unison: "This is too amazing!"

They thought about their own experience when they were 14 years old, and sighed in unison: "Genius and ordinary people are really incomparable, incomparable!"

Chris, who had made friends with Al early and was already half a friend, couldn't help feeling elated at this time.

She also had a super sense of accomplishment in her heart that she bought a lottery ticket at random, but ended up betting on the grand prize. She couldn't help showing off, pretending to be very calm and casually said in the actor's lounge: "Me and Al I’m not very familiar, but when he first met me, he sighed that beauty is the original sin! Hey, although it’s just a young boy’s innocent words, it can’t be taken seriously, but it sounds really sincere and touching, which makes me very happy.”

That's it.

Immediately someone nearby came over to make fun of her, and said some flattering words like "There is no doubt, you are beautiful, so you can be praised".

Kitty couldn't help sneering aside.

She used to compete with Chris in "The Flower Girl". In this drama, the roles are still on par, and she has the intention of competing, but Chris did take the lead, so, she I have been silent recently, because I want to see the situation clearly before making plans.

But at this time, seeing Chris showing off so much, stealing the limelight from everyone...

She couldn't bear it any longer: "Why can't you even understand the polite words now? When someone compliments you on your beauty, you have to say it. When I go out and meet kittens and puppies, I often stand by and say The last sentence is beautiful! I don’t see kittens and puppies happy to eat more bowls of rice for this.”

Chris leaned back in the chair lazily, but laughed instead: "Of course you don't understand this kind of happiness, because now... no one will praise you after all."

Kitty was sulking in vain at this.

After waiting for space time, she went to Belle to complain about it, in fact, she meant to make an ally.

But Belle's expression is now in a trance, and she is no longer energetic as before. It seems that after experiencing the incident of being regretted, she has lost all thoughts of fighting for fame and fortune, and only ghosts are left in the world.

Kitty was even angrier, pointing at her and cursing: "It's just a man! It's just a man!"

Belle's tears fell drop by drop, she grabbed Kitty's hand, and asked: "You said, if I die, will he regret it? Sometimes, I really wish I could die in front of him right away, so that I will never die again." He will remember me forever."

Kitty squinted at the past, but gave a very bitter and vicious answer: "No, he would definitely think 'this woman's death is so disgusting, it scares me to death! Sure enough, it was right to regret the marriage', and then , he would find other beautiful girls together when he turned his head, and when he occasionally thought of you, he would not recall your gentle and charming appearance, instead it was all a nightmare, and from then on, he only regretted that we broke up too late."

Belle wailed, her heart was twisted and tormented with grief.

Kitty looked impatient, and was still thinking in her heart: "Is this person okay? Is it possible that he is so useless? If this continues, let alone help me fight against Chris in the crew, I'm afraid the original Are you going to lose your role?"

But thinking of getting acquainted, and being both women, she still didn't want to see Belle go all the way to the dark, so she racked her brains to find some examples to comfort him.

But firstly, she doesn’t read much and has no knowledge reserves; secondly, in this era, there is no network to transmit information. According to the general perception in society, if a woman is deceived by a man, it is very pitiful, but it is just pitiful. I will sigh a few words about meeting people who are not nice, and there is no introduction to what to do and how to deal with it after being dumped.

So Kitty thought about it for a while, and suddenly had an idea, thinking of the play that was currently being rehearsed.

She simply used the plot in the play as an example: "Don't cry, think about Lu En (the actor in the play), a scumbag who went around to mess around and tricked three women into loving him. Wasn’t this woman in great pain at first? Some were cynical, some were looking for death, and some were crying and pestering, but in the end, they all came to their senses, became self-reliant, and got rid of him?”

Belle cried and said, "That's all drama."

Kitty said: "Isn't it all the same thing if you do a fake show?"

Belle continued to cry: "But what if you just get rid of him? I'm still not reconciled!"

Kitty became very impatient: "What can I do if I am not reconciled? Maybe you can still kill him!"

Belle suddenly raised her head as if she had been reminded of something, her beautiful eyes flushed from crying almost burst into flames: "Ah! Kitty, you are right! That's right! I wish I could kill this don't A dog with a bad face, beat him to death with a stick! Cut off the tongue of that deceiving dog!"

Kitty was taken aback: "My dear, murder is against the law."

Belle smiled.

There are still wet tears on her cheeks, but the smile at this moment actually reveals a little girlish innocence that was only available in the "Flower Girl" period: "Didn't you just say it? The fake show is real, no Is that all the same thing?"

Ten minutes later, Al, who was thinking about a line of lyrics, welcomed these two beauties.

He stared at the two beautiful actresses dumbfounded: "What? You want to kill the leading actor?"

But on second thought...

He couldn't help but get excited again: "Wonderful!"
