[Rebirth] King of Theater

Mr. Curtis is an old gentleman who is very elegant, steady and unassuming.

He believed that he had no right to order Al to do anything, so he didn't immediately call him over because he listened to his friend's words. Instead, he maintained his unhurried pace and sent a letter over as usual. , seems to be an understatement, but in fact he explained all the situation in detail in the letter, until the end of the letter, he simply and respectfully asked Al: [I don’t know... would you like to talk to Bernie Brown, the editor-in-chief of "Short Stories"? Meet and talk? ]

After Al received the letter, he was naturally very pleasantly surprised.

In his opinion, the novel "Because of the Head..." is just an assignment for Mr. Curtis. He really didn't expect such an interesting follow-up plot to happen after completing the assignment!

But there is no reason not to agree to the good things that come to your door.

So, a few days later, Mr. Bernie Brown "succeeded in his plot" and successfully met the young writer he had long wanted to meet at Mr. Curtis's home.But unexpectedly, the person is not the same as the arrogant, arrogant, and even shrewd genius he imagined.

This is a young boy who has been honed early in life to be calm, precocious, and calm.

He is a bit small in stature, but because his body proportions are just right, he does not give people the feeling of being short. His hair is thick, dark and curly, his facial features are delicate, his skin is that smooth olive color, and his green eyes are flexible and energetic. Once you stand up straight and focus on looking up at people, you will look like a black cat, mysterious, vigorous and confident.

Maybe it was a coincidence, Bernie Brown fell in love with Al when he saw him.

He originally reached out his hand just to shake it, but after holding it, he couldn't help but tugged forward. Then, under the doubtful eyes of the other party, he opened his arm and gave the black-haired green-eyed little girl super hard. The teenager gave a bear hug, and at the same time, he praised softly and warmly: "Oh, God! You are a hundred times better than I imagined, my dear, I am so happy to meet you!"

Mr. Curtis, who was on the sidelines, was very satisfied to see his student Al blushing involuntarily in the embrace of his old friend, and also showed a very helpless expression.

But not only did he not go forward to stop or rescue the siege, but he gloated and joked with the painter Robert next to him: "If this scene is a painting that just needs a name, I have a good name here."

"What name?" Robert couldn't help asking curiously.

"Well, how about 'Welcome from a St. Bernard'? Isn't it wonderfully apt?" Mr. Curtis replied wryly.

Robert: ...Tom, if Bernie heard you say that about him, he would cut you off.

"Canines are cute and can bring happiness to people. But some habits are really undesirable. Seriously, my friend, I really don't like the feeling of being frantically washed by dogs with saliva, whether they are clean or dirty..."

Out of some hidden psychology, the old gentleman took the opportunity to express his opinion with a pun: "As a human being, it is not advisable to be overly enthusiastic. Now, I think someone should be able to understand that I occasionally listen to those nasty words. Instead of secretly complaining all day long that I'm too shy or hard to please."

Robert couldn't help laughing: "My friend, I'm not talking about you. Don't always regard other people's sincere and eager gratitude as vipers and beasts."

Mr. Curtis said: "I didn't 'see it', I think, that is! Excessive praise is tantamount to poisonous wine with honey, which is harmful rather than beneficial. I hope he learns something from today's experience The lesson has changed since then..."

But the next moment, the old gentleman's good wishes unfortunately came to nothing.

Because Al is not a shy character, with his super adaptability and innate acuity, he quickly saw through the person in front of him... Don't look at the appearance, tall and strong, comparable to a brown bear, but in fact, Mr. Editor-in-Chief, who can't handle the inner world very emotionally.

Therefore, such a performance of "very enthusiastic at first meeting" is not bad intentions, but very sincere.

Thinking of this, Al accepted the compliment graciously, and gave him a hug back, then said gratefully: "Thank you for your compliment, I should have deserved it. But, just thinking about it, I can get such a compliment like you!" I am a bit reluctant to refuse the love of a respectable elder..."

(Mr. Curtis: Where did this kid learn so many nasty words?)

Bernie was very touched and started saying 'you don't have to hold back, you're just that good, you write good stuff, you're humble, you're a good person' (blah blah blah).

Al immediately smiled and praised it back, it’s too much of a compliment, you are so kind to such an insignificant person like me, you are a noble character, really kind.

Bernie: Hello hello you are the best.

Al: You are either you or you are the best.

Mr. Curtis: "..."

Afterwards, the two flattered each other for a while, and they were able to continue the topic naturally, chatting very congenially.

At this moment, Mr. Curtis was completely numb.

He silently thought: "This is a pompous world, and I will probably never understand it."

As for Robert...

Already after Al and Bernie started to praise each other and saw his friend's disappointed expression, he had already covered his stomach and ran away laughing wildly.

However, in Mr. Curtis's pompous looking duo...

The content of the discussion at this time has actually fast forwarded to the business.

Mr. Bernie Brown is not a man who likes to play tricks.

He quickly made it clear that he wanted to book a series of manuscripts.

Coincidentally, Al is taking all the time to practice pen recently.

Now, with this new opportunity, I can not only publish some of my previous practice pen revisions, but also earn some manuscript fees, which is the best of both worlds.

However, before that, he still did not forget to take a look at the very respected Mr. Curtis, and found that the other party did not object, but was very supportive, and immediately agreed happily.

"In my opinion, the article "Initiated by the Head..." is really suitable as the opening chapter of the whole series. Unfortunately, it was published first by "Literary Weekly". However, this is nothing, there are still some It’s operable. I’ll go back and ask Wilson, and I should be able to make an exception and reprint the previous issue. But, the following content…”

Bernie couldn't help asking with concern: "I wonder if you have any idea about the next one?"

Al thought about it, and said cautiously: "Actually, there is an article, but it hasn't been revised yet, it's just a beginning..."

As soon as these words came out, Bernie, Robert, and even Mr. Curtis couldn't help looking at him.

Among them, Bernie has the most anxious temper and is most concerned about this matter.

He immediately asked curiously, "Can you tell me something?"

Al rolled his eyes, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, but his expression remained calm.

He pretended to share generously, and told the story without any hesitation: "Oh, it's nothing, it started like this."

Everyone immediately quieted down and listened carefully.

The room only echoed Arna's calm and straightforward voice:

[Vincent is an optimistic and cheerful boy, and there is no other good boy like him in the whole world. ]

[Others will cry and be unbearable when they are bullied, but what about Vincent?He is always smiling, he doesn't mind...]

This beginning, just by listening to it, you can tell that it is a series with the previous "Because of the Head...".

The three observers could not help but smile knowingly at the same time.

But, thinking again about the content...

The three of them became puzzled again.

Mr. Bernie Brown took the lead and couldn't help asking: "You still laugh when you are bullied?"

He couldn't help frowning and thinking: "Could it be that the protagonist this time has some mental problems? Well, this is quite a bit scary."

Robert is more concerned about another aspect.

He laughed and asked jokingly, "Be honest, Al, what kind of enmity did this Vincent have with you?"

"Just a random name."

Al said with a smile: "Besides, this character is not that simple. I specially added some novel and powerful settings for him this time."

"What setting?" Bernie pressed.

"He has superpowers." Al replied.

"Superpowers?" Bernie pondered the word.

"Yes, he has a super self-healing ability like some comic characters, so the so-called bullying seems to him to be a child's trick at all, and there is no need to take it to heart." Al replied.

"This setting is interesting and interesting!" Bernie praised repeatedly.

Then, he clapped his hands hard and said: "Okay, you can continue talking, and I won't interrupt."

Al said, "No more."

"what?"

"Gone."

There was silence in the room, and there was no sound.

for a long time……

Mr. Bernie Brown uttered angrily.

"Damn it, you did it on purpose! You did it on purpose!"

"No."

"Forget it! I don't believe it, you've been trying to tease us from the beginning."

"My God, how can you think so, I said at the beginning that there is only one beginning!"

"That's a trap you set!"

"God!"

"Mr. Alfred Sylvie, you are a crafty bad boy."

"I am not, sir."

"Mr. Alfred Sylvie, you are the king of rogues."

"I'm not, sir."

"Mr. Alfred Sylvie, you are a green-eyed devil."

"Sir, this is slander. If you talk like that again, I'm going to be angry."

"You can get angry as you like, anyway, I will definitely not hear any new stories today, so I don't ask you anything! Just be angry if you like, it's better to be angry to death!"

"..."
