[Rebirth] King of Theater

The curtain falls.

There was silence in the theater.

"Could it be that everyone doesn't accept this open ending?"

Al's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned to look at Mr. Milson, seeking some comfort.

But Mr. Milson was impassive at the moment.

Under the dim light of the theater, Al could clearly see that he clenched his fists and his body became stiff. He was obviously very puzzled by the situation, and he was more nervous and worried than himself.

In the auditorium, there was no sound at all.

The male audience who just wished to be the male protagonist showed a confused expression as if they had been hit hard; the female audience who had empathized with the three heroines before and expressed deep sympathy were also shocked.

In short, everyone seemed to be stunned, and had no idea what to do next.

They maintained a terrifying silence that lasted for a full minute or two.

Seconds are like years!

Like a nightmare!

Mr. Milson took off his glasses habitually, took out the glasses cloth and tried to relieve the tension by wiping.

But Al could clearly see that his hand holding the temple of his glasses was trembling involuntarily.

On the stage, the actors behind the curtain should also be extremely disturbed at this time.

Because everyone could see that the musicians on the other side of the band stopped the music and looked at the audience with an expression of extreme bewilderment.

Until a particularly loud voice suddenly broke the silence.

"Good kill!"

The voice cheered loudly: "Good kill!"

God, this venerable man must be thanked!

He is the savior!

He saved all the crew members who were about to hang themselves!

He is no one else.

It is Mr. Stage Manager who has rich experience and can make an idea at a critical moment.

Thanks to his voice!

The embarrassing situation was finally completely broken.

The audience was suddenly awakened.

Might be finally realizing that this is just a musical and not something that actually happened.

Everyone removed their expressions of seriousness, thoughtfulness, bewilderment, or shock.

While waking up from a dream, they smiled relievedly and gave warm applause without hesitation.

Thus, the curtain can finally be raised again.

All the actors who participated in the performance were able to call the curtain call according to the normal procedure.

The band played the music again.

All the actors of the crew lined up on the stage, including the blood-stained, grinning, happy-faced lead actor Matt.

Then, the applause became louder and more intense.

Some enthusiastic audience members stood up and shouted the names of the three heroines.

The three heroines responded happily.

They sang "The Betrayed, Insulted and Deceived Woman" again to the band's accompaniment.

To be honest, the singing at this moment is far less perfect than that in the play.

I was too excited emotionally, but without the emotional blessing of grief and pain, so that being betrayed, insulted and deceived seemed to be a beautiful thing.

However, no one will care about this shortcoming.

The applause and enthusiasm of the audience will not be diminished by this.

Everyone in the crew sang along, and when they encountered places that were easier to sing, the audience below would also sing along.

At this moment, the old and narrow small theater seemed to burst out with vitality again, and the audience was full of joy and joy.

Al finally closed his eyes contentedly, sat quietly in his seat, and heard the end.

When it was time for the show to end completely, he was dragged up by Mr. Milson.

Mr. Milson gave him a warm hug as soon as he came up.

Excitedly, he repeatedly patted the young playwright's back with his arms: "Nice job! Nice job, Al! Did you see the audience's reaction? They like this show, they really do! I I believe that when it comes to the official premiere, we should not be far behind!"

Al couldn't help but smile.

But at the same time, a very heavy sense of fatigue came to my heart!

This kind of fatigue is completely different from the fatigue felt by actors who sang and danced on the stage and performed for two or three hours, and finally exhausted. I was nervous and nervous, and after being suddenly relaxed, I felt deeply tired from the inside.

But looking at the smiles of the actors on the stage, and the joyful expressions of the audience...

Al took a deep breath quietly, not wanting to suppress the tiredness, and gave an enthusiastic response as much as possible: "You are too praised, sir! I am so happy, so happy to see this scene. But such a result , all thanks to your support and everyone's hard work."

Mr. Milson patted him lightly on the shoulder.

The two smiled at each other and said nothing.

Next, the enthusiastic audience finally began to gradually exit.

Mr. Al and Mr. Milson waited until there were not so many people before walking towards the backstage.

During this time period, it is said that there was a rather interesting episode.

A female spectator broke through many obstacles and successfully stood in front of Matt, who played the leading role, warmly embraced his neck, and kissed him forcefully.

Because Matt, a rock star whose private life has always been chaotic, is familiar with this kind of thing, not only does not panic, but also enjoys it.

Everyone in the crew didn't care, and watched the excitement from the sidelines.

But what I didn't expect was that after the kiss, the female audience, who seemed to be deeply involved in the drama, slapped him with a wave of her hand.

Under everyone's shocked gaze, she said confidently and plausibly: "The kiss is for Matt, thank him for giving such a wonderful performance; the slap is for Lu En, the hero in the play, the scumbag deserves to be beaten."

Matt: ...

At that moment, everyone in the crew didn't know what expression to make.

If you want to be angry, you feel that the female audience is so deeply involved in the play. In a sense, they are praising everyone; if you want to laugh, it seems that you are sorry for the poor male protagonist Matt. For a while, your expression becomes weird.

In the end, Randy, who was still an expert at cheating, was the first to applaud beside him.

He sarcastically reassured: "The same flamboyant scumbag, you are not wronged by this slap."

"Hey, brat, don't talk nonsense!"

Matt couldn't help but argue: "I never lie to women, okay! I only like the ones that come to my door, and I'll do what you like."

But due to the shadow left by his childhood, Randy hated his father's chaotic relationship between men and women, and didn't listen to it at all.

On the contrary, seeing the scumbag father being beaten, and thinking about the male protagonist being killed in the play, he became the happiest person in the world. He wished to draw a line between things related to music in his life, and he could only focus on Michelin. The idea of ​​running wildly in the direction of the star chef finally changed a little bit, and he fell in love with musicals, especially this show from the bottom of his heart.

However, the father-son grievances between him and Matt should be resolved in the foreseeable future.

Ignore this for a moment.

In any case, it was a very happy night.

The show was brilliant, and the audience was happy to respond.

Once these two are available, everyone in the crew will feel elated as if they have taken some stimulant.

Mr. Al and Mr. Milson walked backstage and could clearly see the extremely lively scene.

Because it was a rehearsal, there was no celebratory party prepared in advance, but the staff still dragged tables and chairs, and placed beer, whiskey, champagne, sandwiches... and all the delicacies they could find in a short time.

Mr. Milson started to thank everyone with a glass of wine.

As for the stage manager who saved everyone at the last moment, he was elected as the best player in the audience tonight!

This cold-faced, taciturn man has always been unpopular, because he always sets up various rules for the crew members, such as prohibiting eating snacks in the rehearsal room all day long, prohibiting bringing large bags into the rehearsal room, prohibiting littering, prohibiting being late, prohibiting Bringing friends to rehearsal, no... no... no...

In short, this guy who has not been very popular and is nicknamed "Mr. Forbidden" by everyone!

Magically got everyone's love this night with a great last minute play.

Surrounded and loved by a bunch of actresses, he couldn't help but blush.

The male actors also toasted to him one after another, showing respect, and ran over to exchange glasses with him.

Al watched this scene with great joy.

He thought in his heart: "There is really no industry in the world that can be more beautiful than the drama industry."

The night is getting darker.

But the joy of success made everyone over-excited, and they didn't want to disband just like that. The actors simply sang again, and the musicians of the band also happily cooperated, posing as if they were going to party all night.

Al also joined in the excitement for a while, and then quietly left the too noisy backstage.

He came back to the empty hall of the theater, stopped silently in the auditorium, and looked at the stage carrying the hopes and dreams of countless people...

"Are you happy?" Randy, who was always elusive, popped up again.

In fact, he himself didn't know what was going on, and when he saw Al coming out, he followed him.

"Is it out of curiosity about my peers, and precocious peers like me?"

He thought inexplicably: "Well, why do I always seem to be involuntarily wanting to pay attention to him recently?"

"Yes, very happy." Al didn't notice the deep entanglement in this new friend's heart, and replied very simply.

Then, he didn't care that Randy was still at the side, and he didn't want to suppress and restrain the joy in his heart at all. Suddenly, he ran forward happily along the aisle in the middle of the auditorium. Borrowing from the side, he jumped up and jumped onto the stage as lightly as a cat!

Randy stared at him dumbfounded.

Al stood in the center of the stage, with his arms wide open, like a bird spreading its wings in the night, about to take off; and as if he was embracing something tenderly...

His green eyes were shining, and there was an extremely proud, diamond-like smile on his face: "No, I was wrong just now. I'm not only very happy, I'm so happy! I'm so happy! I'm so happy La!"

Randy seemed to be struck by lightning all of a sudden, and couldn't help but put his hand on his heart.

At that moment, he was dizzy, his blood was surging, and the sound of his heart beating was like a drum beat that was so fast that it was about to collapse at any moment!
