Chapter 136: Miss Kesvier
Before returning to the room, Walter went to Natasha's room to say hello, the other party was not boring, Walter was talking about business, and he was with Agatha, an old woman, so naturally he would not take her with him.
Therefore, after giving the other party a lot of cash, Walter used the reason that she needed some clothes to show her charm after going to the United States, so she let her go shopping and buy clothes by herself. Paris is the romantic capital of the world, there are many beautiful clothes, the girl went without the slightest hesitation, until Walter knocked on her door to greet her, Natasha was still in the room to change her new clothes in the afternoon, which shows how good the woman's mood is.
By the time Walter and Agatha negotiated the rights to the novel again, it was already the afternoon of the second day, and the meeting place was still the same as yesterday's meeting, the Grand Theater of Paris.
Today's performance is Agatha's three-act thriller "The Mousetrap" written in 1947 to celebrate the Queen's 85th birthday, which is the real reason why Agatha came to Paris this time, in addition to relaxing, is to be invited by the Paris Grand Theater to witness her former dramatic masterpieces.
Although it was the first time to watch it, and Walter didn't know much about drama, this "Mousetrap" was very attractive to him, and the suspenseful stories in it seemed to be constantly foreshadowed from the beginning, attracting people to listen carefully. It is no accident that this play has been performed on the British stage for decades and has become the longest performed work in the history of British theater, and it can indeed be called Agatha's masterpiece.
At the same time, it also made Walter more serious about Agatha, a female detective novelist who went to Paris to study vocal music at the age of sixteen, thinking that she finally gave up the path of a singer because of her love of literature, and she could not say right or wrong. The drama in front of her made Walter think that perhaps she would be more successful as a singer, but it was clear that the world would undoubtedly lose the world without her in the world of detective fiction.
However, although Agatha took the initiative to invite Walter to come, and still asked Walter to send all the way from the hotel to the theater, Agatha did not take the initiative to mention the copyright of the novel to Walter all the way, and even when Walt asked her, she just avoided it, making it difficult to understand the other party's true intentions.
It wasn't until nearly halfway through the play that Agatha turned her head and asked Walter, "What do you think of this play?"
"Which show?" Vought asked rhetorically, knowing his advisor.
"Of course, it's the show "Mousetrap" that you're watching now. ”
"I'm sorry, Ms. Mallorwin, but I'm not very into comedy, so I may have a one-sided view of comedy. ”
"It's okay, you can talk as much as you want. ”
"Okay. Walter replied and continued: "Although I don't know the storyline of this play, from the beginning of this stage play, I feel that it seems that the lines in the mouths of every actor are intentionally designed, and their lines are hidden foreshadowing, if you can pay careful attention, the hidden murderer in this play should be able to be found." ”
"Oh?" Agatha glanced at Walter in surprise, and then asked rhetorically, "Your idea is good, but isn't there a reversal plot......?"
"What does it matter? Here, I'm just a spectator, as long as it makes me feel good, why should I care about the dramas that I don't need to memorize at all, I just need to know that this show makes me unforgettable. ”
"Audience? Interesting answer!" Agatha whispered to herself after hearing Walter's words, and then asked, "Is that all?"
"And the show's consideration of details!"
"Details?"
Most of the stories in "The Mousetrap" are set after the end of World War I, and at that time, because of the war, supplies were scarce, and the clothing style was simple and simple. Maybe this is to create the atmosphere of the era or the suspense and pathos of the whole plot, but there is no doubt that this method will make all the characters as simple as they can be, I took a few quick glances, and I was completely fascinated by these actors...... "Walter honestly said what he felt in his heart, he didn't dare to lie, there is a good saying, people are old and fine, Walter can't guarantee that Agatha will see something."
Of course, Walter's last few words were not polite words, because he was really attracted by the actress who played the role of Miss Kesvier on the stage, especially the charming eyes and melancholy eyes of the other party, which attracted him very much, and seemed to make him very familiar. Although she wears a simple costume, she has a charming temperament that is revealed from the inside, and she has an otherworldly temperament, which is very attractive, and it is described in a professional language, that is, on the stage, she does not externalize the romantic temperament of the characters she plays, but is good at internalizing the romantic temperament.
Walter's words should obviously have been approved by Agatha, and it was not until the end of the stage performance that Agatha replied to him lightly: "I hope that the film you make can also perfectly present my story like this stage play." Of course, I would rather that you could prove my vision wrong than that you would prove to me that Disney is inferior to Paramount. ”
In a word, Dewater was delighted, and then he talked to Agatha about the specific signing of the copyright, until the end of the play, Agatha was invited by the manager of the Paris Theater to give a speech for the play, and the dialogue between the two ended.
Later, as Agatha expressed her excitement about her work being performed by the Grand Théâtre de Paris, as well as her praise for the play she had just performed, the play finally came to an end amid a burst of applause from the audience.
At the end of the play, the audience dispersed, but Walter did not send Agatha back to the hotel this time, but took a taxi back by himself, as for the reason, the other party was invited by the manager of the Grand Théâtre de Paris and the other directors of the theater to do other things.
Probably after listening to the play for an afternoon, he was a little tired, and Walter left listlessly, and when he turned a corner in the theater, he bumped into a moving girl holding a few books.
With a "bang", accompanied by the sound of books falling to the ground and scattering, Walter took a few steps backwards, quickly stabilized his figure, and then went to check on the girl who was knocked to the ground by him.
However, the girl with long hair on the opposite side caused him to exclaim.
"Miss Kesselsville!"
