[Phantom of the Opera] Devil's Beauty

The Little Theater is located in the bustling downtown, connecting two golden and copper-colored arcades.Surrounded by hatters, tailors, department stores, and opposite a flowery café, the Grand Opera House is only a few streets away.It stands to reason that such a location would not be crowded, but somehow no one cares about it.

Mr. OG's carriage is very recognizable - the main color is dark green, the canopy is trimmed with a dark red skull, and the door curtain is decorated with golden tassels.The merchants and residents of this street all know that the investor behind the small theater is the mysterious but rich Mr. OG, and they also know that he has sent many potential showgirls in order to make the theater profitable, but for some reason, he never Can change the situation of making ends meet.

Mr. OG is always surrounded by beauties, seeing his carriage is like seeing beauties.After a while, the front and back were full of people, including porters who had just finished unloading goods, drinkers biting pipes, and women with white scarves on their heads... A busybody shouted loudly: "OG Sir, unless you invite Carlotta and Odile, your theater will not be profitable!"

After the words fell, there were sparse laughter all around.

Bai Lanzhi subconsciously looked at Mr. OG, but saw that his expression was indifferent, and he seemed not displeased.

She couldn't help wondering a little, isn't Mr. OG a stingy person?Why is he not angry when people outside say that about him?

The stingy man glanced at her indifferently, pushed open the door curtain with his cane, and ordered in a cold voice: "Go and find Daloka."

The valet leads away.

Soon, a man in a fur hat and white robe hurried over, it was the manager of the small theater, Daroga.His double eyelid folds are extremely deep, his lips are thick, and he has a very traditional Persian appearance.Seeing Mr. OG, he first sighed sadly: "Eri..."

Mr. OG interrupted: "I brought someone."

Only then did Daloka see Blanche inside. He was very well educated, and even though he thought Blanche's face was too beautiful, he didn't look around.He took off his leather cap and gave a salute. He turned his attention to Mr. OG, and continued to sigh: "Oh...you have caused me a lot of trouble! Let's go in and talk about it." He looked at Bai Lanzhi again, "For To avoid a commotion, you'd better put a cloak on the lady."

Mr. OG frowned slightly, and muttered in a low voice: "Trouble."

Bai Lanzhi was about to say that she had a cloak in the box, when she saw a shadow covering her. Mr. OG tore off the scarf and wrapped it around her face two or three times.

He acted roughly, without any regard for her feelings, and messed up her hair.

Bai Lanzhi combed her hair with her fingers, and wanted to stare at him, but saw him without the cover of the scarf, with a slender neck, a prominent Adam's apple, and a graceful but masculine line from the chin to the socket of the neck.Although she received the education of being a female pet since she was a child, it was the first time she saw a picture of a man with such strong characteristics, and her ears and cheeks couldn't help feeling hot.

I thought it would feel better to bury my face in the scarf, but in the next second, I smelled the very elegant woody fragrance in the scarf, as well as a hint of bitterness and pungentness.Her heart beat uncontrollably a few times, and she gradually calmed down until she passed through the crowd and walked into the small theater.

… No wonder rich people hire their own perfumers.

The fragrance is truly magical.

Although the small theater is not as luxurious and gorgeous as the Grand Opera House, it has more than 2000 doors, but it still occupies a lot of area. The main hall, passage hall, and corridor are all available. There are two magnificent gold-plated statues at the entrance of the performance hall.

Daroga took Blanche for a brief week, and then sat down in the auditorium, propping his elbows on his knees, and said in a depressed tone, "Oh... I've reminded you many times, even if you don't like Carlotta and Ao Dai Well, don’t criticize their singing in public! It’s good for you to write an article criticizing them and publish it in a magazine! It’s nothing to write an article, there are many people who don’t like them, but people criticize them under pseudonyms Contributing, how about you? Directly sign 'OG', lest others will not know that it is you!"

Blanche almost thought she heard it wrong. As a music lover, Mr. OG doesn't like Carlotta and Audelle?Then who can he like?These two are the most powerful sopranos in the world.

Mr. OG replied quite calmly: "So what if I know. I'm telling the truth."

Darroga had a headache on his face: "You can't do anything, what can you do? You have always been lawless, and I am the only one who is unlucky! After Viscount Garnier found out that you are the investor of the small theater, he decided to book the theater tomorrow night Listen to the singing of the soprano under your hand. He also invited a group of vitriolic music critics to say that as long as you don’t have a better soprano than Audelle, you will be ruined in Paris!”

Mr. OG said calmly: "Any soprano is better than Odile."

"Any one? To put it lightly, not to mention Paris, there are not a few people in France with a wider vocal range than Audelle!"

Mr. OG pushed Bai Lanzhi to his eyes: "Isn't it?"

Daroga frowned, looked at Bai Lanzhi carefully, and said distrustfully, "Her? Isn't she a ballerina?"

It’s no wonder that Daroja is so distrustful. Most opera singers are plump and stocky. Although Carlotta’s singing is ethereal and light, her figure has been criticized all the time. A music critic known for his poisonous tongue even said bluntly: "Carota's breath is thick enough to make one suspect that her fat is full of air."

Audrey is an exception. She is as thin as a ballerina, but her singing voice is full and clear like pearls. Every word is very clear, but even Audrey has never publicly declared that she can dance ballet .

Bai Lanzhi was more curious about another question: "How did you know that I can dance ballet?"

Daloga replied: "Your knees are straighter than ordinary people. When you walk, the soles of your feet are spread out. The toes land on the ground before the heels. Even when you are relaxed, your thumbs are subconsciously aligned with the middle fingers. Only ballerinas in the dance troupe will do this. You can't have never studied ballet."

Bai Lanzhi couldn't help smiling and boasting: "You can observe such a subtle place, it's amazing."

Daloka was quite embarrassed by her praise, and regretted the questioning of her before.

Mr. OG squinted at her, and said two words lightly: "Fawning."

Bai Lanzhi had long been used to his way of speaking, so she didn't take it to heart at all.Daloka didn't know this, and was afraid that she would feel sad, so she quickly comforted her: "Don't listen to his nonsense, you are not flattering, you have a pair of eyes that are good at finding good points."

Mr. OG snorted lightly.

Darroja has been with Mr. OG for more than ten years, and he is well aware of his eccentric and mean character. He is afraid that he will continue to say some embarrassing things, so he deliberately asked him: "Bringing her here shows that you trust her very much." Is she really a girl who can dance ballet and sing opera?"

As long as Mr. OG simply answers "Yes", this embarrassing situation will disappear invisible, but Mr. OG is obviously not a worry-free person. He raised his chin and commented slightly mockingly: "She can jump." He can also sing ballet and opera, but his level is average, so he can only fool a layman like Viscount Garnier."

Daloga: "..."

He shouldn't have given up the chance to speak to this man.

Blanche can tolerate Mr. OG's indifference and eccentricity, but he cannot tolerate his groundless sarcasm.Only she knows how much effort she has put in: In order to produce a round and clear tone, she once locked herself in the bathroom and practiced for two hours in the morning and evening for more than a month before slowly groping for the doorway of the resonance of the mask; For ballet, she practiced even harder, even eating and walking, she was looking for tricks to make her body more stable.

Most of the female pets who study with her are only practicing in class, so they are naturally not as good as her.She has never told anyone about this, but it does not mean that she can be belittled by others.

Although she was very unhappy, she had no intention of arguing with Mr. OG.The godmother had repeatedly warned them that no matter what kind of man, high or low, as long as the other party is male, even if it is just a small gardener, they should not conflict with them.Men value their self-esteem the most, and blindly denying their views cannot convince them. Only by agreeing with them and praising them first, and then putting forward their own views, can the ideal result be obtained.

Thinking of this, Bai Lanzhi bent her eyes and revealed a gentle smile like an angel: "Sir, I don't even look up to Odell. I am already very satisfied to get an 'average' evaluation from Mr. Mister. However, One thing I’m curious about is, in the eyes of Mr., what level is considered excellent?”

Mr. OG looked sideways at her.

Her eyelashes are thick fan feathers of light gold, her eyes are blue, her nose is narrow and straight, her cheeks are pink and tender, her lips are ripe and red like cherries, God gave her a face that is almost as beautiful as God, but she uses it To do such extreme... flattering things.

Mr. OG looked away, his Adam's apple moved, and he said coldly and decisively: "It's a level that you will never reach in your life."
