In early September, Tom returned to London after wrapping up The Avengers.He received the script of "The Empty Crown", and he had an adjustment period of nearly two months before the filming of the TV series started.During the two-month adjustment period, he grew a beard for the role.Tom with a beard is another look.And Mu Lai, who gets along every day, never saw Tom like this, and also called out: "A special man."And when Tom was teasing Mu Laiwei, he always liked to stab people with his beard.This made Mu Lai Wei always want to pluck his beard.

In addition to studying the script, because the decoration labor costs in the UK are very expensive, Mu Lai has not finished talking about the decoration of the new house, so it is up to him to do it.The new year's show season has started again, and Mu Laiwei has returned to the Emperor.Kaisen was probably the happiest, although Mu Laiwei still partnered with Pu Nuoning.Mu Laiwei, who returned to the Emperor, clearly felt that the shadow of the David incident on the Emperor had not disappeared.

Because Mu Laiwei was busy rehearsing for "Alice in Wonderland", she also received a lot of guest invitations.In addition, Mr. Rooney, the director of the English National Ballet, even called Mu Lai many times to make an appointment.He's an interesting guy.Every time we met, the head of the group would start with his favorite Chinese culture and end with persuading Mu Lai not to join the National Ballet.

And because of Mu Laiwei's busy work, Tom called his friends to help him with the renovation work. Sometimes when he was taking a break, Mu Laiwei would help with painting or something.

In mid-October, Mu Laiwei's second ballet "Alice in Wonderland" officially met with the audience. When the British audience was replaced by the little girl Alice played by Mu Laiwei on a fantasy journey, she and Tom's new home were in With the help of a group of friends, I was finally able to move in smoothly.For their new home, they held a small party at home and invited their friends.At five o'clock in the afternoon, friends arrived one after another, and they all brought some small gifts, while Kaisen brought his girlfriend, her name was Margaret, a student of history at Cambridge University, she was quite quiet A British girl, but when it comes to topics related to history, she is eloquent.

At the party, the food is mainly barbecue and hot pot. In London at a high latitude, the weather gradually turns cold in October, so eating these is just right.Han Xi brought a set of mahjong as a housewarming gift.Among this group of British people, some people have a lot of experience in mahjong, so they started playing mahjong.Tom can't, Mu Laiwei, who has no achievements in mahjong, can't help him, so he leans aside to watch them play.Tom is also smart. After watching it for a few rounds, he jumped at it.

A bunch of people gathered around and had a great time, and here Kaisen and Mu Laiwei talked about something they both cared about.

When in Cannes, because Paramount finally bought the film distribution rights of "Youth White", Mu Lai did not meet a person in charge of Paramount there.Mu Laiwei chatted with him subconsciously about the movie "The Love of Ghosts", because the copyright of "The Love of Ghosts" is in Paramount.She revealed that the inspiration for her very popular dance video with Kaisen two years ago came from "The Love of Ghosts".The person in charge listened and was very interested.Seeing that the person in charge became interested, she said that it has always been her and Kaisen's dream to adapt "Ghost Love" into a ballet.When the person in charge heard this, Mu Laiwei's eyes lit up as he looked at him.He said he could think about it.Later, they exchanged a phone call.

Leaving Cannes, in New York, she got a call from the person in charge, and he gave him Kaysen's number.Because she's not good at this kind of thing, but Kaisen can.

"They don't want to sell the copyright to us. They don't sell the copyright, they want to share, and take [-]% of the performance revenue." Kaisen said.His girlfriend sat beside him and listened carefully to what they had to say.

"They're robbing money!" Mu Laiwei said after hearing this.Sure enough, they are capitalists, and it is their nature to squeeze, and they don't give any cheap.Seventy percent, do nothing and take seventy percent.

"No way, the initiative is in their hands. We have to admit that we have no leverage in this matter." Kaisen said.

"Big deal, let's tell another story."

"There is no ballet version of "The Love of Ghosts" that makes people want to watch."

"then what should we do?"

"Actually, I talked to Tamara about it. She thought it was a good idea. She said, let me go with her. She will help us."

"Go? Where to go?"

"There is a gossip. Tomorrow, because of the economic downturn and fiscal deficit, the government will cut expenditures on public cultural undertakings. You know that the source of funds for these troupes now is the government besides sponsors. To cut expenses, tomorrow the British public There will be a big personnel change in these large troupes. Each troupe will reduce 15% of the dancers, and the salary will be adjusted."

"15%!!" How many dancers must face unemployment.

"This gossip was told to me by Tamara. She wanted to take advantage of this personnel change to switch to the English National Ballet enb, and then she asked me to go to enb with her."

"Job hopping?!" Another shocking news! !

"Although you are back to the Emperor to dance, you are still a guest after all. In fact, after David's incident, the public is still quite disappointed with the Emperor. Therefore, the high-level management is more demanding and strict. We must use a One perfect performance after another to restore the sacred image of the Emperor in the hearts of the British public."

"I know, I actually felt it. During the rehearsal, everyone was very serious. Before, at the Emperor, there were jokes and jokes."

"enb impressed Tamara with high salary and wider creative freedom. And the contract gave me a lot of freedom. And I really want to leave Emperor. Now Emperor is in a high-pressure environment. , I don't like it. If you join enb with me, there is Tamara, and you also know how much the head of enb wants to sign you. And enb will be more willing to come forward and talk to Paramount, And our "Ghost Love" is possible. The above things will be changed for us by enb. And I believe that if "Human Love" is successful, we will have more choreography in the future. The right to speak, many people will beg us to choreograph. It is not us begging them."

"So, it's still the same sentence, it's good to enjoy the shade under the big tree."

"There is no way, the reality is so cruel."

Mu Lai didn't stop, and after thinking for a while, he said: "Okay then. However, I have already made arrangements for next year. Last week, I signed a dance drama with the Emperor for the second half of next year in a daze. So I can only sign the 2013 contract to enb."

"So refreshing!" Kaisen was surprised!He knew about her personal freedom, Mu Laiwei insisted on himself.

"Mr. Rooney, the leader of enb, has personally asked me out no less than ten times, and he is very diligent on the phone. He has read the Three Kingdoms, and he knows how to visit the thatched cottage. I was moved by him. And that sentence is quite right. Since I haven't grown into a If you want a big tree that is unique, then find a ready-made one. enb, it should be a good big tree, it can make Tamara so determined to change jobs, and you can follow suit." She still remembered two years ago , Her own rhetoric, she said that she just wanted to do something that was not smart, and now she found a big tree for herself.She doesn't know what the future holds, but the only thing she can be sure of is that even if it's bad, it won't be too bad.

"Mr. Tuan Zhang is really determined to make enb the largest ballet company in the UK! It's really dangerous if the Emperor doesn't work hard." Hearing this, Kaisen said with emotion.Both he and Tamara were moved by the enthusiasm of the head of the ballet, Mr. Rooney.

If the Emperor takes the aristocratic and high-end route in the ballet, then the English National Ballet is not as good as the Emperor in terms of ballet, but it is the most popular ballet in the UK. Because of its low price of performance tickets, it often It will create the most number of British ballet performances and the most people, and it is one of the most mass-based dance companies in the UK.She was also the favorite ballet company of the late Princess Diana. From the autumn of 1989, Princess Diana served as the protector of the English National Ballet for nine years until her death in a car accident in Paris in 9.

The decision between Mu Laiwei and Kaisen this time will open another chapter in their ballet life.

At nine o'clock in the evening, friends left one after another.Regarding the messy living room, after Mu Laiwei and Tom sighed, the division of labor was clear.Half an hour later, the living room was finally cleaned up.But the dishes and chopsticks, Tom said: leave them to him tomorrow morning.Mu Lai had never seen Tom so considerate, and offered a kiss passionately.But the kiss was a fire, burning hotter and hotter, into the bedroom, into the new bed.

After they were done, they came out of the bathroom.Because they have a common home, both of them are a little excited and can't sleep.Tom got up and went downstairs and brought up a bottle of red wine.They sat on the balcony, under the rare moonlight in London at night, with a small glass of red wine, and they snuggled together under the quilt.Mu Lai touched Tom's beard and told Tom about his decision with Kaisen today.Tom listened, kissed Mu Laiwei's forehead tenderly, and whispered in her ear: He supports all her decisions.

Later, the girl slowly fell asleep in his arms.Tom looked at Mu Laiwei's sleeping face, looked at the moon in the sky, calmly and contentedly, this is the world for two he wanted.He wrapped the quilt in his arms, picked up the girl, returned to the bed, and fell asleep with her in his arms.
