[Rebirth] King of Theater

Luke looked a little scary when he was angry.

In the words of Mrs. Sylvie, "This man is not a good person at first glance, and he looks like a little hooligan."

In fact, it is not entirely a wrong description.

Luke's facial features are three-dimensional, and he can be called handsome, but if you look closely, you will find that his cheekbones on both sides are slightly high, and his face is unavoidably mean. In addition, his eyebrows and eyes are also wild, and he usually makes mistakes and smiles foolishly It's okay to say, but once the face is expressionless, it reveals a face full of savagery and rebelliousness, and if it gets angry, with a gloomy face, looking like it's looking for someone immediately, taking a photo casually, it's like a serial murder The wanted photo of the criminal.

Now, probably really sad, angry, and full of unwillingness to be betrayed...

He couldn't help revealing this ugly expression that he had never seen before in front of his friends, his face was distorted, and he looked aggressive and wanted to kill someone.

But Al didn't enter the state at all, and couldn't help laughing.

His green eyes flashed with a smile, he raised his eyes and glanced at his angry little friend, and then, with an unhurried tone, he even complained: "How can we get involved in 'I leave you' You speak as if I’m a heartless person! Don’t you mean you’re not good brothers if you don’t do business together? Good friends? What are you thinking? Really, playing childish temper every day!”

Luke was furious at this.

He almost exploded on the spot, but held back with a glimmer of hope: "Don't talk about it, have you made up your mind to quit?"

Al then patiently reasoned with him: "Look, I have a drama on hand that is about to usher in its premiere, and I have to deal with all kinds of things. The inappropriate plots before should be deleted and re-written." To write better, every line, every syllable takes time to ponder, and I have to participate in the rehearsal of the actors every day to ensure that they can perform what I want to express, and I have to communicate with everyone more , I have to learn some new knowledge in my spare time, and understand what the audience likes..."

"Sounds pretty busy!"

"That's right, so I really don't have the energy to take care of the ticket sales. It's not that I don't want to take care of it, but I can't do it anymore."

"Are you done?"

"Almost, but you should understand me now, right?"

"I! Understand! Understand! But please don't bother coaxing me!" Luke said blankly.

Then, he began to gnash his teeth and say something, although he didn't yell, but he said every word firmly: "I'm afraid you don't take me seriously at all? What am I? Take the initiative to come forward Yes, you picked it up on the side of the road. I was stupid enough to think that I was so important, but in fact, when you thought about selling tickets, I was the only one beside you? If the person next to you was not me, but Best, it's Bill and Barry, you probably will bring people to help. On the contrary, it's me who thinks I'm so important because I'm so sentimental!"

"How do you say that?" Al was dumbfounded.

But what I have to admit is that Luke was a bit perceptive, and even noticed his original casualness, but this understanding was a bit too biased.

"What nonsense are you talking about! No matter how I chose you, the friendship between us since we cooperated is not fake!"

Al thought so in his heart, and said so in his mouth, so this sounded very righteous: "You can't accuse me of something out of imagination, can you?"

But Luke still looked calm at first glance, but actually gritted his teeth: "I know, can you blame this? No! After all, what's wrong with you? You are smart, powerful, kind-hearted, and know more , and selflessly helped so many people, even if it was only unintentionally, but I also admit that I have taken care of you for so long. After all, you just like the new and dislike the old! (Al: What? Where did this accusation come from?) Now that you have that damn new theatrical toy, it's only human to want to throw the old one away! (AL: ??) Me and your old toy should have just sensibly exited ( Al: ??)..."

"But I just can't be reconciled! I can't be reconciled!"

When he said these few words, he suddenly rolled up his sleeves and took several steps forward.

Al was taken aback.

He instinctively took a few steps back, and showed a look of vigilance, as if he was afraid of him making a move.

Luke was even more angry and sad when he saw it, thinking: "Do you actually think I will hurt you?"

He glared angrily for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more sad he became, and finally turned around angrily, rushed out of the door all the way, and closed the door with a bang.

Al breathed a sigh of relief.

On the one hand, he felt that this dispute was too inexplicable, but on the other hand, he felt that his little friend seemed to be really sad, and he was confused for a while: "Did I really do something excessive? But what did I do?" What is it?"

But there is nothing further on this matter for the time being.

On the one hand, the upcoming lively season of performances and the long-awaited opening of the premiere occupied too much of his mind; on the other hand, it was family matters.Mrs. Sylvie has almost recovered and is about to be discharged from the hospital. There is another young and cute but immobile brother who needs to be taken care of. Another older brother, John, who will enter school next year also needs to be included in the schedule...

Al was busy at home and abroad...

After waiting for more than a month, he realized that he hadn't seen Luke for a long time.

It's hard to describe the feeling of loss at that moment.

Al was troubled for a while, still didn't want to lose his friend, and began to think about how to reconcile with Luke.

At this time, "The Womanizer" finally set a date for its official premiere.

This time is not like a rehearsal, looking for a small theater, the audience is only a few hundred people, just perform quietly, but looking for a big theater seriously, before the performance, specially invited newspapers, magazines, TV , radio and other drama critics came to watch.

Of course, some uninvited uninvited guests will also take the initiative to visit.

Most of these unexpected guests are season competitors.

They usually appear in the theater with an extremely picky mentality, with blank faces, as if attending a funeral, and staring at the stage indifferently as if they were watching a dead person throughout the process. With the eyes of the bones, he pays close attention to every detail in the play, every line of lyrics, every dance movement, and once he finds any bad information from it, he immediately feels like a treasure.

great!

Wait until the next day to read all kinds of attacking remarks in newspapers and magazines that completely pissed off the creative mind.

But let's not mention these nonsense for now.

I only said that before the performance, considering that the premiere was more meaningful, Ms. Alice thoughtfully asked for a stack of internal tickets from the cooperative theater for everyone, and asked loudly: "Does anyone want to get some tickets for family and friends?" a ticket?"

Most of the crew members have experienced many battles, so they are relatively calm and not so excited about this kind of internal vote.

So, some used to take a few tickets home, and some didn’t like their family to watch their performances, so they didn’t take a single ticket...

So, when everyone finished, there were still a lot of tickets left.

Al walked over and pocketed all the remaining tickets naturally, making them round!

Miss Alice, who knew his past history, couldn't help being suspicious, she pulled him and asked, "Wait, you won't sell high-priced tickets with it?"

Al was very embarrassed, and couldn't help shouting aggrievedly: "Miss Alice, I also have relatives and friends."

Alice suddenly felt embarrassed.

She also found a fruit candy and stuffed it in the past to express her apology.

Al naturally wouldn't care about it.

Next, he started the road of sending tickets to relatives and friends.

The person who sent it first was the nearest Mr. Smith.

Mr. Smith, the ticket seller, smiled when he saw the ticket: "Haha, I've sold tickets for half my life, and this is the first time someone gave me a ticket."

Al said with a smile: "Please give me a face."

Mr. Smith nodded again and again: "Okay, okay! Even if I ask someone to lead the class, I will definitely go."

Al then went to Mr. Ben Foreman's house.

In addition to theater tickets, he also went to the department store, bought a fashionable coat for Mrs. Foreman, bought some cigarettes for Mr. Foreman, and then officially went to the door.

Mrs. Foreman was very happy when she saw him. She hugged him and turned around and shouted, "Ben! Come and see who's coming!"

"Oh, it's Al! You've grown taller, fatter, and handsome!" said Mr. Foreman, coming out of the room happily.

"I'm not a kid anymore." Al couldn't help saying.

"But in our eyes, you are." Mr. Foreman smiled.

When Al explained his purpose and took out the movie tickets to invite them to watch...

The Foremans were stunned: "The book you wrote, the drama you produced?"

Waiting for Al to give a positive reply...

The couple were in awe of him, as if looking at some respectable cultural person.

Al had no choice but to protest: "I regard you as the most respectable family and friends. So, if you do this, it will break my heart. Are you willing to help me when I am poor, but when I get better? , but you want to alienate me? What kind of reason is this? If so, I would rather be that poor kid who had no money in his pocket."

The Foremans laughed.

Al chatted with them for a while, and after getting the same answer of "definitely going", he left.

Then, he continued to walk towards home, stopped when he reached the bakery on the corner of the street, went in, first bought a big cake, and then stuffed the theater ticket into the clerk's hand.

The clerk who gave him a piece of bread for nothing at the beginning also laughed.

He wiped his hands stained with butter and flour, and took the theater ticket cherishingly: "Hey, I haven't been to the theater yet, I must go."

Satisfied, Al came out with the big cake, and continued walking, this time to find Luke.

But when they arrived at the office where everyone used to gather, they only saw Best and the others, not even a shadow of Luke.

Al threw the cake to Best and the others, feeling a little unhappy for a while.

He raised his foot and kicked the leg of the table, complaining angrily: "Why do you want to make an alliance with blood! Is there such a blood brother who has a bad temper and avoided seeing him for a month?"

Best immediately raised his head, and asked with sparkling eyes, "Is it so cool to make an alliance with blood?"

Al must be embarrassed to say that he only pricked it with a needle, so he opened his eyes and said nonsense: "Yes, cut your wrist with a knife, and let the blood of two people flow together..."

"Did you see the scar on your wrist?"

"I'm healing well."

"Boss Luke doesn't have any scars on his wrist."

"He is afraid of pain, so cut lightly."

But no matter what, Best, who was still a sophomore in high school, could only hear his eyes shine, and his blood surged, wishing he could also draw someone to make a blood alliance.

Al blew around and successfully got a lot of admiring and yearning eyes from his younger brothers, but he turned around and left when he didn't see Luke coming back.

Wait for Al to leave.

Best continued to be excited for the blood alliance, and at the same time entered the small room next to it where sundries were piled up.

I saw that in the dark little room, Luke was sitting on the ground smoking a cigarette.

But the expression on his face was very strange, as if he was angry, but also as if he was smiling...
