"Broadway?"

In the villa in the Upper West District, Wang Jian, who was wearing pajamas, sat on the sofa and looked at a beautiful card in a daze.

Broadway and yourself, it shouldn't have anything to do with you...

Why they sent a jury invitation to their highest award, the Tony Awards.

Of course, if it was an Oscar or a Grammy invitation, he probably wouldn't have thought about it so much.

After all, watching a movie or listening to a pop song can be done at home as a pastime.

But, the Tony Award?

You need to go to the theater and watch it live!

Not to mention that Broadway has been in decline since the 90s.

Just thinking about those operas, Wang gradually lost his interest.

This kind of thing is a bit too high-end for him.

"What's more, I have to watch the 10 operas that were nominated!"

Wang gradually groaned and dialed Mr. Stephen King's phone.

As a writer, he became a judge for this award, and he only knew this "king of bestsellers".

"Tony Award?" Stephen King froze for a moment, then chuckled.

"It means that you have been recognized, invited by the judges of the Tony Awards, and considered to be an invitation from the top art scene in the United States. ”

"Of course, we are writers, and we have to rely on our own work to speak. ”

"You can be like me, just watch one and vote for it. Or, like Neil Gaiman, ignore this thing. ”

A status symbol?

Wang gradually thought about it for a while, but decided to go and watch it.

The main reason is that he has no job for the time being, and he is a little panicked.

The secondary reason is that the identity of an artist is so easy to use...

According to Stephen King, the judges included classical musicians, painters, sculptors, etc., who had nothing to do with musicals, and the selection process was rather loose.

However, when you go to a special jury show, it's best to look at it as if you were going to a classical concert.

Not only did he need to wear a suit and leather shoes, but he also had to carry a partner of the opposite sex.

"But there shouldn't be much interest in musicals, right?"

After a moment's thought, the king dialed Vera Farmiga's phone.

After the end of the first season of "Anomaly", she should still be in a state of recuperation for the time being, and she has not taken on any new projects.

What's more, as a former Broadway actress, the acceptance of opera should be higher.

"Miss Saigon, as a judge's partner?" Vera's screaming voice, through the microphone, almost pierced Wang's eardrums.

"I do, of course I do!"

"Wang, are you at home? I'll come to you at once with my costume!"

I rub it, I'm a teddy dog in the eyes of the other party?

"No, there's still a chance tonight..."

Wang gradually put down the phone and pursed the corners of his lips helplessly.

It's just a musical, if it weren't for the blessing of his identity, he really wouldn't be particularly willing to go.

"This Vera, is she as good as her?"

Never mind...

Wang gradually shook his head, walked into the bedroom, and began to choose his clothes.

It was about six o'clock in the evening, outside the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Vera Farmiga, dressed in a red evening dress, took Wang Yan's arm and appeared with a smile.

To be honest, she has become a second-rate TV star through "Anomaly", and she is not going to appear in any musicals in the future.

After all, TV series and movies have a wider audience and higher salaries.

Moreover, the time on Broadway did not make her have the slightest impression of this place.

Many people say that the American entertainment industry is highly competitive, and countless actresses do not hesitate to sell their bodies in order to get a role.

Compared to Broadway, what is that?

Regardless of quality, Hollywood makes about a few thousand movies a year.

And what about opera?

Once it reaches 100, it can be said to be a "Broadway" year.

This directly leads to the fact that in addition to famous actors, even if the bottom of Broadway wants to be unspoken rules, there is little chance.

While going to shoot Anomaly, Vera vowed never to return to this hellish place.

Although she broke her promise, she was very happy in her heart.

Vera watched as Wang gradually handed the judges' invitation to the ticket inspector, and was respectfully led to her seat.

"Because, everything is different!"

"Vera?"

At this moment, a surprised voice sounded behind her.

Vera turned her head to look at it, and saw that it was her former companion.

At first, they worked part-time in Wang's apartment together, and they also looked for opportunities on Broadway together.

But now, he has become a second-tier star. The other party was still wearing the uniform of the apartment and hurried to the backstage.

"Long time no see. Vera hugged each other and looked very cordial.

After all, everyone relied on each other for a long time in New York, a city that was drunk and obsessed.

This kind of feeling is still quite sincere.

But the other party's next sentence almost made her favor disappear completely.

"When you have a chance in the future, can you recommend me. The companion said timidly.

Then, he secretly pointed at Wang Yan, "Also, can you introduce him to me in a hurry?"

Introduced to you?

If possible, Vera even hoped to be the only woman Wang gradually fascinated.

During this time, she deeply realized the importance of having a big man to rely on in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention that when she was in the crew of "Anomaly", because she slightly revealed her relationship with Wang Jian, she and Naomi gained unprecedented respect.

"Hehe, it's inconvenient this time, next time it will be. Vera smiled and rejected, "Also, you'll have to go backstage and put on your makeup." ”

"Who was that just now?" Wang gradually took the voting card from the staff, turned his head and asked casually.

"Uh," Vera paused, "an irrelevant person. ”

Soon, as the curtain opened, the famous opera "Miss Saigon" officially began.

Vera looked at her former companion, acting as a humanoid backdrop on stage without a single line, and thought about herself again.

She couldn't help but go from sitting up straight, from a gesture that hoped to attract the attention of her former competitors on the stage, to becoming closer to the man next to her.

However, Wang gradually did not feel anything about this.

He looked at the stage with a frown, feeling a pang of discomfort.

Because this so-called classic opera is the bloody story of an unmarried Asian girl who falls in love with a married American soldier.

For the sake of the male protagonist, this female protagonist actually abandoned her childhood sweetheart's boyfriend, relatives, and even the country, and came to the United States to be a junior.

"No wonder some people say that Caucasians, no matter how they are rendered, are inherently racists!"

"You think you are superior to other races!"

Wang gradually groaned and scored the lowest score on the ballot.

"Mr. Wang, you don't like this musician?"

Beside him, a middle-aged man's voice sounded.

Wang gradually looked up and found that he actually knew this person.

Roger Albert, one of Joseph Keller's students, was a third-rate writer.

Of course, he is better known as a drama critic and film critic, and has great influence on important awards, including the Oscars.

"Well, I don't really like it. Wang gradually nodded and replied.

"I don't like it either, the actors in this version of the musical are too jerky. can be nominated, it is entirely through the influence of "Miss Saigon" itself. Roger nodded, and also wrote the lowest score on the ballot.

"By the way, Mr. Wang's "Anomaly" has been nominated for an Emmy. The critic said with a smile.

However, "Friends" is really the most widely watched TV series in recent years. ”

Although because of some turmoil, "Anomaly" seems to have a certain opportunity. ”

However, the turmoil was not enough for the judges to change their votes from "Friends" to "Anomaly." ”

Roger paused, "Although I chose "Anomaly", I also asked Mr. Wang to apologize to the teacher on my behalf. ”

"Hehe, first of all, thank you Mr. Roger for your love of Anomaly. Wang gradually smiled rather open-mindedly, "I don't think Mr. Keller will mind." ”

Roger looked at Wang's indifferent expression and couldn't help but nodded.

"This kind of mentality may be the gap between me and top writers. ”

But he didn't know that what Wang gradually was thinking at this time was, "Whether "Anomaly" can win the Emmy Award or not is a matter for ABC." ”

"Is there a penny relationship with yourself?"
