[Rebirth] King of Theater

After beating his father until he screamed (pretended), Randy finally realized that it wasn't that Matt didn't want to help him answer those emotional problems, but that this man who had been a scumbag all his life didn't understand what emotion is at all. question.

In Matt's extremely simple life, emotional problems are probably a mechanized cycle of entering, coming out, coming out, and entering, which can be easily solved by instinct without thinking at all.

But Randy despises this kind of behavior the most.

In the ignorant period when he was young (in the early years, adults always seemed to think that children were ignorant, so don't worry too much about doing things), he was fooled by Matt's various messy behaviors countless times I was very upset, and because of this, I hated all kinds of emotional things, so I secretly made up my mind that if I have someone I like in the future, I must be wholehearted and never be a person who is as philandering as Matt.

However, it is really hard to find someone you like.

Randy had a vague premonition of 'I might end up alone' until he met Al...

He had never seen anyone like Al, and never imagined that such a person really existed in the world.

Talented but without arrogance, reasonable and principled, looks thin and weak, but is so strong and responsible. At the age of 13, he shoulders the burden of the whole family by himself. Life is so difficult, but he is still optimistic and positive?

How could there be such a person in the world?

This person is like a gift from God, the most perfect fictional protagonist in a fairy tale book, and also in his dream... No, he never dreamed of such a good person!

Compared with Albi, Randy even dislikes himself.

Therefore, even though he was directly rejected this time, he still didn't complain at all, and couldn't help thinking: "Will Al think of me now? At least he should think of me? After being confessed by someone, you will forget the confessor in a while. You still have to, think of me several times, right?"

Thinking of this made Randy happy.

He even comforted himself by thinking that this was an initial achievement.

Al did think of him.

Just as Randy thought, he would always have to think about who would be confessed suddenly.

But it's only for a while, and it hasn't been done several times.

This little boy who had too many things hidden in his heart suppressed those emotions for a long time.

Moreover, he also analyzed the whole thing with a negative thought that is almost middle-aged and elderly: "Maybe this is just Randy's temporary illusion. When people are young, it is easy to confuse friendship, family affection and love. Impulsively falling in love with this, falling in love with that, in fact, are all very normal things, not necessarily sincere."

"As for why you chose me this time?"

"He may just regard me as a genius like him, and he has never seen my type before, so he finds it very novel."

"But it's just being hoodwinked."

"After a long time, he should gradually know that I am actually the most ordinary, vulgar and boring type of person in my bones."

"Then, in another year or two..."

"He'll forget about it all."

"Then, suddenly one day, when he turned his head and remembered this confession..."

"Maybe you'll be annoyed, haha, maybe you'll find me for no reason to have a laugh with you."

Al thought about it, and his green eyes became tender, as if he had seen the happy scene where everyone was still talking and laughing together in the future.

When he came back to his senses, he sighed softly without realizing it, feeling a little inexplicably melancholy in his heart, but he also felt that things should have developed like this.

Afterwards, the two 'tacitly' resumed their previous state of getting along.

To be precise, Al's attitude is the same as before, but Randy's attitude should be just pretending to be the same as before.

Because Al keenly felt that the other party was always watching him silently.

No matter where you go, no matter what you do, that passionate gaze that seems to be able to burn people is always chasing after you, like a shadow!

So much so that every time the school theater troupe rehearses and is about to leave...

Al has a strange feeling of running away.

At this time, the cram school had finished the exams and ushered in a short vacation.

But there is also an exam at the end of the editing training course.

As an auditor, Al did not need to take the exam.

But in order to examine what he had learned, he took the initiative to take the exam.

Even the grades of the auditors don't count.

But in order for Mr. Curtis to see his progress and prove that he has lived up to his expectations.

Al still concentrated on studying hard for a while.

And maintain this state until the final examination room.

Accidentally, this matter was known by John.

This scumbag brother is very incomprehensible.

Although he has learned his lesson now, he is trying to study hard.

But due to his talent, this child is really struggling to learn. Every time he faces an exam, he suffers so much pain, as if he is about to be fried in a frying pan. Therefore, he can't help but secretly complain to his sister Mary : "Is there something wrong with my brother's brain? He obviously can't take the exam, but he still volunteers to take the exam."

Mary has little interest in the subject.

The little girl was afraid of being hungry since she was a child, unfortunately she developed a good habit of only being interested in food, and soon interrupted her second brother's complaint: "Don't talk about this, let's talk about what we have for lunch."

John: "..."

A week later, Al took the exam with the regular students of the screenwriting training course.

After the exam, he wrote to Mr. Curtis anxiously and said: "I really hope that I have not let you down." ]

A few days later he received a reply from Mr. Curtis:

[Dear Al, you never let me down.I have always believed in this point]

The old gentleman went on, mildly and encouragingly:

[Although due to the auditors, your grades have not been recorded. ]

[But I can tell you one thing frankly now...]

[Congratulations, Al!The teachers in every subject are willing to give you an A, and your grade points are enough to be rated as a top student in this school, if you are a formal student. ]

[So, stop being overly modest. ]

[You already have enough reason to be satisfied and proud of what you have achieved. ]

[At this moment, my mood is also the same. ]

[I am sincerely satisfied and proud to have a student like you. ]

In the eyes of others, it is just an ordinary letter.

But for Al, this is the teacher's approval.

He was overjoyed, and happily took this letter of commendation (in his opinion yes) and put it in a frame, and hung it on the wall of the living room at home with great joy, wishing to let everyone in the world know about it. I promised my younger siblings: "If you want, you can also hang up the transcripts you have obtained together."

John: "No, I don't want to."

Mary: "I want to hang up the cookbook, okay?"

Mrs. Sylvie, who has been looking up the dictionary every day, also stood there for a while.

Then, she said, "I can read some characters, but they don't seem to be as interesting as those letters from readers."

Letters from readers all praise you (Mrs. X), so of course you love to read them more.

Al rolled his eyes, thinking that there is currently no one in the family who can share the joy with him.

So, he couldn't wait to take a taxi to visit Mr. Curtis's home.

However, Mr. Curtis: ...? ? ?

Share the joy?

Are you sure you're not here to share embarrassment?

Oh, God!

Stick it on the wall?

What kind of shameful operation is this?

What kind of public execution is this?

The poor old gentleman was completely bewildered.

He felt like a kettle sitting on top of the stove, the top of his head was already burning and smoking.

"Why, why did you hang my letter on the wall?"

"Because this is the honor you brought me!"

"But you don't need to hang it on the wall, you can put it away."

"Only by hanging on the wall, people who come to my house can easily see and know that there is such a good teacher as you in the world."

"Ah! I will never go to your house in my life, never!"

"Uh?"

To be honest, just from this aspect...

This pair of teachers and students get together, and sometimes they really torture each other.

One is the fear of hearing good things from people;

One is that if you don’t speak good words, you will be completely disobedient.

Mr. Curtis was troubled: "Why does this kid always do these embarrassing things!"

Al was troubled: "Why is Mr. always so shy!"

Later, the painter Robert smiled and smoothed things over and said, "Al, let's keep the letter well! If you want to hang something on the wall, how about I draw a portrait of you?"

Al had no choice but to say, "Trust me, I'll keep it. But, what's the point of portraits? Don't bother."

Robert waved his hand: "No trouble, no trouble."

Al was surprised: "Hey? Is it possible that all the sketches you owed are all finished?"

"No, how could it be so fast? There are still many unpainted."

"Then you don't rush to catch up on the manuscript, and you still say it's not troublesome?"

"It's not troublesome."

The painter Robert enthusiastically shared his experience: "Al, you don't understand. Every time during the period of dragging the manuscript, if you do other things, the efficiency is often the highest, so I said, draw a picture for you. The portrait is really not troublesome at all, and it is drawn quickly.

Alas, I really don't know what kind of grief and indignation Mr. Bernie Brown will feel if he hears his words.

But under his enthusiastic self-recommendation, Al finally reluctantly agreed to Mr. Robert's request for a portrait of himself, and also agreed to use his portrait to replace the letter from the wall in the future.

So, after he left...

Mr. Curtis couldn't help saying, "Thank God."

Robert smiled and winked at his old friend: "The one you should thank is me."

So far,

This year's heavy schoolwork has basically come to an end.

Al stopped suddenly.

He was unaccustomed to scratching the schedule at hand, and after calculating what he still had to do, he found that the only unfinished business in the near future was Miss Grace's play.

But that play has been rehearsed for more than half a year. Even if we rehearse overtime, it is impossible to make any leaps and bounds in quality.

It can be said that at present, as long as they wait patiently for a month, when the scheduled performance time arrives, they can directly let them go on stage.

Al couldn't stop thinking about finding something else to do for himself.

At this time, Mr. Bobby, who had bought "Madame X's Love" for animation, came to the door again.

However, Bobby came here this time not for any animation, but purely as a middleman.

He introduced a director named Brett to Al: "This is my friend for many years, a somewhat famous horror film director who specializes in making scary things, but it is still reliable. Alright, Brett, this is the one you want to know, Al the writer who wrote about Vincent."

After the introduction was over, he couldn't help protesting, "I'm not complaining, Al. It's time for you to find an agent. Everyone wants to work with you, but they don't know who to contact."

This makes sense.

Al Moore kept this matter in his heart, and decided to look for someone later.

But currently,

He looked at the taciturn middle-aged man in front of him, and couldn't hide his curiosity: "You are the director? You are looking for me because of Vincent?"

Director Bright nodded.

He didn't seem to be very good at politeness, so he went straight to the point: "I really like your article "Initiated by a Human Head..."."
