[Rebirth] King of Theater

Finally, the matter of studying has a preliminary result.

But Al still couldn't relax and was busy with work.

Originally, there was no need to worry about work.

But moving and paying rent for several months are both very traumatic events!

Not long ago, Luke successfully found a decent house, an old-fashioned apartment with complete facilities.

There are three floors, the first floor is for the owner to live in, and the second and third floors are just rented out.

If it can be successfully rented, Al and Luke can just occupy one floor each, which is quite suitable.

But the fly in the ointment is that because the apartment is located in a relatively prosperous area, and the surrounding transportation is convenient and well-connected, the rent is relatively high.

However, after Al had seen it, he was very satisfied with every aspect of the house.

Especially the apartment on the third floor, which has a large area and a layout of three bedrooms and one living room. He couldn't help muttering: "I don't care if it's expensive or not. Money is earned and spent. Anyway, this time I must be very domineering! Well, I want to occupy a room, my own room, the smaller one is fine! In this way, when I concentrate on thinking and writing in the future, I can finally close the door properly and never have to I am worried that the children are running around and playing around me."

Luke wanted to laugh again.

He didn't mean to laugh at his little friend, but he was obviously so fierce when he said it, why "I'm going to be very domineering this time", but what happened?The so-called overbearing means wanting a small room of your own?This is too easy to satisfy!

Consider the relatively prosperous Silvina family.

Luke sighed faintly again, understanding Al a little bit.

probably sometimes...

For the poor, personal privacy is considered a luxury!

Then, they signed a rental contract with the landlord and discussed the specific time of moving.

It's just that in the process, there were still some small episodes that made Al depressed...

Mrs. Sylvie cried again when she knew she was going to move out of the slums she was familiar with.

She didn't have any objections to moving, but she had never traveled far, and she had never met too many strangers, so she couldn't help but feel very panicked and uneasy. She wanted to pretend to be calm, but she couldn't help looking at her eldest son anxiously, as if she was afraid of herself. Just like that, being suddenly thrown into a strange place where he is not familiar with life, it will be so strange...

Just thinking about it makes me very scared.

She bit her lower lip tightly, as if there was something choked in her throat, and said pitifully, "Al, I, I've never been that far. And, besides, I don't speak English, wait We moved there and I couldn't even find where to buy groceries..."

Al looked at her like this and immediately softened his heart: "Mom, Luke and his grandma moved there together. Don't worry, Grandma Luke will definitely help you later."

Then, he coaxed her very gently: "Don't be afraid, mother. We went to live a good life and enjoy the blessings. Believe me, the life will be better and better. If you want to learn English, learn it. If you really don’t want to learn, it’s okay if you don’t. When I earn a little more money, I’ll hire you a servant who can speak Sicilian dialect as an interpreter, okay? You don’t have to worry about buying vegetables anymore, At that time, I can hire people to do it all..."

Mrs. Sylvie, who was still crying, laughed all of a sudden: "You're talking nonsense! You're still wasting money!"

She didn't believe Al's words at all, and she didn't even dare to dream of such a day, so she immediately retorted: "Everything is hired to do, so what do you want me to do at home every day? Are you in a daze?"

Al first patiently wiped away the tears that were still in the corners of her eyes, and then said with a smile: "You can do whatever you want, buy clothes, learn makeup, go shopping! Mom..."

Having said that, he sighed silently: "You are not yet 40 years old."

But Mrs Sylvie felt nothing of it.

She was born in a very conservative rural family. In the education she received when she was young, she didn't teach a woman how to have fun on her own. It was all about being virtuous, hardworking, thrifty and thrifty. She always put her husband in her heart and revolved around her husband , but also to bear children for him and fulfill his wife's responsibilities.

But after being told so much by the eldest son...

She was finally coaxed enough to make a move (or rather, she got used to not resisting the decision of the head of the family), and moved with the children according to the previously scheduled date.

Although Grandma Luke is old, she is a very respectable old man.

After realizing Mrs. Sylvie's fear of unfamiliar environments, the old lady was very selfless. She took the initiative to come over to accompany her for several weeks. She even learned a few Sicilian dialects with Al, making gestures and laughing at the same time. speak to her.

Al was very grateful and bought many gifts in private.

Luke was a little dissatisfied with this, and disliked him for being too outsider.

Al sneered at this: "What kind of nonsense? Is the way of not seeing outsiders is to ignore all the good things of others, only think that others should treat you well, and never give any response?"

Luke was very troubled and didn't know how to answer, so he had to tell the truth from the bottom of his heart: "In terms of reasoning, I have never been able to criticize you. But you clearly know that my grandma and I like you. So, We want to treat you well, that is, we want to treat you well, so we don't point at you for any damn response."

This kind of straight ball is the most difficult to catch.

Al immediately quieted down and stopped taking bickering for fun.

But as mentioned above, although moving to a new house is a good thing, it is really hurtful.

After such a toss, even if he shared the rent with Luke, Al still basically spent almost the same amount of cash in his hand.

Although there is no place to rush to spend money for a while...

But if you don't have any money, it's always a very uncomfortable thing.

Al couldn't help thinking about work again.

At present, in addition to his role as a playwright of "The Womanizer", he also holds a post of reviewer.

But in fact, this position was created by Mr. Milson when he went to the doctor in a hurry.

Not to mention that it was useless in the first place, since the show "Lust", it was basically described as empty, so that Al was very guilty of getting a salary of 30 yuan a week.

As for the former office handyman position...

Miss Alice definitely welcomes him to come back to help, but first, the ten dollars a week for that position is a bit too little for him now; Going to be a handyman?

After thinking about it, Al found depressed: "I'm actually half-employed again."

He is also considering writing a new play, but after "The Womanizer", Mr. Milson has no plans to take another risk and start a second new play due to the lack of abundant funds and the limited strength of his own company. Intend.

This means that even if a new script is written, it may not be able to find a suitable buyer immediately, let alone be arranged into a new play and appear on the stage immediately.

Competition within the theater industry has always been extremely fierce, so it doesn't mean that you will be so lucky to be on the stage if you have a good script.

For these reasons, Al really couldn't find a job that was particularly suitable for him for a while.

Just at this moment, father and son Matt and Randy ran over to him.

Actually, mostly Matt.

Although he was expelled from his own band, this once popular rock star has a high degree of acumen in the music industry.So, when he discovered that the audience of the musical was actually very wide, he suddenly thought, why not put all the music in "Woman" together and release a concept album?This market should be promising!

Al, who had seen this pattern in his previous life, immediately nodded in agreement.

However, his own thoughts are still on stage performances, and he is not very interested in making any music albums. After expressing his consent, he asked Matt to go to Mr. Milson to discuss the copyright issues in detail.

So Matt turned and left, and hurried to find Mr. Milson again.

But Randy was still dawdling there and didn't want to leave.

"Al, I heard you're going to school?"

He stared intently at Al Wen with those sky blue eyes, and his attitude was very serious, as if the current conversation was not casual chatting, but discussing some important national affairs.

"Yes, there are a lot of things to learn next." Al replied: "However, instead of going to school, there are some cram schools and training courses."

"Ah!" As soon as this matter was mentioned, he began to mutter to himself worryingly again: "It's really difficult to find a job with relatively flexible schedules and also taking into account studies."

Who knows, after hearing this, Randy couldn't help being pleasantly surprised: "Coincidentally! I have such a job here."

He said cheerfully, "Al, would you mind directing some amateur troupe? Well, they invited me to star in a while ago... By the way, maybe I have to help them revise, revise the script or something? The script I saw back then, alas, was horrible."

"You mean amateur?"

"Actually, it's not all amateurs, it's similar to school drama clubs."

"Do they give money?"

"Here! The association funds are sufficient."

"Then I don't mind!"

Al asked enthusiastically, "Can you roughly tell me what kind of play they are going to arrange?"

Randy tried his best to think back, digging out the memories that were not interesting at the time and had been thrown out of his mind early.

He replied: "It seems to be... I don't remember clearly. Maybe, a ghost fell in love with someone?"

"You just said that they invited you to play the leading role, so this is the person you're playing?"

"No, they asked me to play a ghost.
