Chapter 134: Performance (6th Shift)
On Saturday, May 10, it suddenly rained heavily in Los Angeles.
As soon as it was dawn, Audrey got up.
Today, Abbott's musical "High Heels and Buttons" is auditioning, and Audrey must go to the theater early.
The place where the musical is performed is at the Maya Theater in the Broadway theater district of downtown Los Angeles, starting at half past nine in the morning.
Half an hour after Audrey woke up, breakfast was ready, and Evan walked out of Audrey's bedroom slowly.
The upper body is naked, and the lower body is wearing boxers.
Audrey was cleaning up in the dining room when she saw Evan who went to wash up, her face was slightly red, and then she gave him a roll of her eyes.
The two slept in the same bed last night.
"Evan, hurry up, it's almost half past six. ”
Audrey urged.
“OK……”
Evan sorted out his personal hygiene, and then went back to his room to change into his regular clothes for going out, and it was done in less than five minutes.
"Audrey, are you nervous about getting up so early?"
Evan sat at the table, picking up the omelette with a fork and deliberately teasing.
Audrey glared at Evan, then frowned slightly, and said worriedly, "This is the first time I've performed on stage on such a big stage, what if I mess up?"
"After all, I was personally chosen by Mr. Abbott. ”
Evan took a bite of the fried golden egg, chewed it a few times and swallowed it, and said with a smile: "It's good to be moderately nervous, but don't overdo it." ”
"You have to be confident, like you said, it was Mr. Abbott who chose you to join the crew, you have to trust his vision, don't you?"
"If you still feel uneasy, you think so in your heart, but I am watching in the audience, in case something goes wrong, be careful to be laughed at by me for a lifetime, and then laughed at by the children for a lifetime. ”
Audrey's face turned red again when she heard this, and then she said angrily: "You won't be laughed at for a lifetime?"
Is this actually the rebuttal? Is this a tacit assumption that the two of them will have children?
A wistful smile appeared on Evan's face.
After breakfast, Audrey didn't care about washing the dishes and cleaning up, so Audrey urged Evan to hurry up.
Today, Evan personally sent Audrey to the theater, and Bob and Isla were given a vacation by Evan.
It's a pity that they have nowhere to go when they encounter this kind of ghost weather.
The rain outside was a little lighter than when I first woke up in the morning, and Evan held an umbrella to send Audrey to the car, and Audrey didn't get any rain at all.
After getting in the driver's seat, Evan ignited the engine and turned on the wiper switch, and Audrey took the towel and helped him wipe the rain off his arm.
The car started slowly, Evan stared closely at the road in front of him, and said: "Audrey, with such a heavy rain, many viewers are expected to retreat." ”
Audrey shook her head and said, "The impact is not large, the tickets for today's audition are all given away, and there are not many seats, only about five hundred." The audience that comes is either a family member of an actor like you, a member of the media and a commentator, or a peer in the industry. Most of these people don't stop coming because it's raining too much. ”
"That's what I said......"
Because of the heavy rain and the blurred vision, Evan controlled the speed very slowly, so when he arrived at the Mayan Theater in the city center, it was already early in seven.
"Sorry, Mr. Abbott, I'm late!"
On the way to the backstage of the crew, Audrey bumps into Abbott, who apologizes as she wipes the rain from her hair.
Abbott waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I know it's because of the heavy rain, hurry up and get ready." Relax and come on!"
"Okay!" Audrey nodded, then said to Evan, who was following behind, "I'm in, you're ......"
Evan said, "I'll take a look around the neighborhood and get into the theater when the time comes. ”
"Okay, I'll see you later!" Audrey waved at him one last time.
Evan also waved in response, and at the same time said, "Come on, don't be nervous!"
After Audrey disappeared into the backstage entrance, Evan withdrew his gaze and turned to leave, but Abbott stopped him: "Sir, please stay!"
Abbott walked up to Evan and stretched out his right hand as he looked at it, and Evan quickly reached out and shook it.
"My name is Abbott, and you must know me, right, Prince Audrey, Mr. Evan Warren!"
Evan nodded, "Nice to meet you, Mr. Abbott, Audrey often mentions you to me." ”
"Speaking of which, Audrey's admission to art high school and participation in this performance is thanks to your recommendation. ”
"I should say thank you!"
Abbott waved his hand and said, "No thanks, it's just a gesture!"
Evan said, "You love it." ”
Abbott smiled and said, "By the way, Evan, do you like to watch plays or musicals?"
Evan said, "I don't see much......
Evan is a euphemism, in fact, he has not been to see it himself except for a few times with Audrey to see it.
Abbott understood, so he didn't go into this topic, and instead asked: "Audrey is a good seedling, if she wants to continue to develop in the acting industry, I think today will be her first day, but will you support it?"
"Of course!" Evan nodded without hesitation.
Abbott was a little surprised, he hesitated for a moment, half questioning and half reminding: "Evan, what do you think about Hollywood and Broadway...... Well, the ethos, understand?"
Evan nodded again and said, "I've heard of it." ”
"So, if Audrey wants to get into the industry officially, I'll be ready. ”
Abbott looked at the little boyfriend whom Audrey had mentioned to him, but did not elaborate, and for a moment he couldn't figure out whether Evan was talking big or the truth.
However, thinking of the two bodyguards beside Audrey, Abbott felt that Evan most likely did not tell a lie, so he tentatively asked: "Evan, what is ...... in your house?"
Evan put it bluntly: "Working at the California State Capitol. ”
Abbott froze in place.
The surname is Warren, and he works in that place again...... Who is it?
……
Two hours later, the theater, which can accommodate hundreds of people, was full of people.
Evan found his place early and waited for the opening.
He's in a good position, a little to the right in the middle of the fourth row.
It wasn't a few minutes before the show was about to start, but the spot to Evan's right was still empty.
That's the place left for Virginia.
From time to time, Evan looked at the entrance on the right, wondering if she wouldn't be here because of the rain.
I knew I was going back to pick her up.
Just as Evan was reflecting on himself, Virginia, dressed in blue, finally arrived.
"Sorry, I forgot the time during the review and was almost late!"
Virginia sat down and said to Evan.
"It's okay, the time is almost just right!"
