Shuikou ignored Aoyama's roar and shouted into the intercom: "Turn on the lights!"

With his order, the big neon sign instantly lit up, shining the surroundings like day, and at this time, Mizuguchi gently said to Qingshan: "Qingshan, I want to pursue the American dream now, this neon light seems to illuminate my future!"

"But, after all, it's the company's money!"

Shuikou waved his hand and said: "I will solve it on the DPR side, and I will pay it off with interest in half a year." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Aoyama, as long as you don't say it, it's absolutely fine!"

Qingshan still persuaded without giving up: "But, Shuikou, if this drama doesn't sell well......"

Before he could finish speaking, Mizuguchi interrupted: "I believe in Clara's vision, this drama will definitely be a big hit! Aoyama, think about it, how many times can people have such opportunities to make a lot of money in their lives, anyway, since I came to the metropolis of New York, I never want to live the life of a Japanese office worker again, I want to gamble!"

Seeing Mizuguchi's fanatical appearance, Aoyama knew that no matter how much he persuaded him now, it would not be useful, and the play would be staged tomorrow, and there would be a result soon.

In the world of Broadway, it's not uncommon for a new play to drop out after three days, so patrons are very interested in the performance of the first day of the replay (just like we writers value the first book). ）

"AOYAMA, LOOK, IT'S AMAZING THAT THERE ARE SO MANY VIEWERS! EVERYONE COMES TO SEE "DONATFLYMETOTHEMOON", AND IT IS THESE PEOPLE THAT MAKE ME A LOT OF MONEY AS A PATRON. Tomoo Mizuguchi, a small patron who only invested in two units, said excitedly to Takeshi Aoyama, who was dragged by him.

However, Qingshan was not optimistic about this drama, but on the surface, it was not easy to discourage Shuikou's enthusiasm, so he reluctantly replied: "Well, it is best to be able to do this." ”

Soon the performance began, and in all fairness, Aoyama felt that the play was quite good, and the American version of "Princess Running to the Moon", based on Japan's "The Tale of Taketori", was full of oriental mystery and was very good.

It's a pity that the audience's reaction was not as expected, and at halftime, Aoyama said worriedly to Mizuguchi: "Mizuguchi, what can I do about this, it seems that the audience's reaction is not enthusiastic." ”

Mizuguchi stiffened his head and said, "Oh, this is the first half, and when it comes to the second half, they will definitely applaud." ”

While the two were talking, Clara, dressed in full costume, walked over and greeted, "Hey, Tomoo!

"Thanks to your help, too. ”

At this time, a tall and handsome middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses shouted to Clara, "Clara, come here." ”

Clara looked back and immediately agreed sweetly, "I'll come here, dear." As he spoke, he waved his hand to Shuikou and Qingshan, and then walked quickly to the middle-aged man and grabbed his arm, and the two of them walked to the backstage with a smile.

At this moment, Aoyama found that a shadow seemed to be cast on Mizuguchi's face, and this seemed to hint at the future of the play.

"Go back quickly! Go back to the moon! Go back to that peaceful and beautiful world! There will be no more selfish desires and wars, everyone will get along on an equal footing, this is what an ideal country looks like!"

Although the actors on the stage performed very hard, Aoyama was sad to find that there was a snoring sound from the nearby audience, which made his heart cold.

When it was time for the curtain call, according to the custom, the audience would give a standing ovation, and the actors would repeatedly appear for curtain call (a bit like the encore in cross talk), but today, it seems that only the sponsors are left who applaud.

But this is not the most tragic, the real blow comes from the evaluation of the media the next day.

"There's nothing more mediocre than this, with boring content, singing and dancing and a lack ......of practice," said the literary edition of the New York Times, which was deliberately enlarged to criticize how bad the musical really is!

And this is not the most ruthless, the Washington Post is even sharper: "If the famous Broadway theater Veskeff performs this bad play for three days in a row, it will completely destroy the good reputation that has been built up in the past!"

Three days later, the playwright fled to the Soviet Union to avoid criticism, a move that irritated conservative New Yorkers and Broadway audiences.....

THIS "DONOTFLYMETOTHEMOON" CAME TO AN END AFTER ONLY TEN DAYS OF RELEASE!

At this time, Takeshi Aoyama was carefully receiving inquiries in the office of Yusuke Oizum, the head of Panasonic America.

"So, when you found out, Mr. Aoyama, the $160,000 had already been invested, wasn't it?" asked President Oizumi with an expressionless face.

"Yes, yes, but I believe that Mr. Mizuguchi did not mean anything in his malice, and he said that he would pay back the money. It was my fault that I didn't report to the company immediately, but from the situation at the time, I had nothing to do but hope that if Shuikou succeeded, then the company would have no loss, so I would wait and see what happened!" Aoyama explained with a sweat on his head.

President Oizumi waved his hand and said, "Your personal judgment is not enough to win trust, and in any case, you are also derelict in your duties, right?"

"Yes, yes, I'm willing to accept any punishment from the company!"

It may be that seeing Aoyama's attitude of admitting his mistake is very good, so Oizumi shook his head and said: "Punishment, it's not enough, as you said, as long as the money can be paid off, then this matter can be counted like this, now Mizuguchi has sold his house in Tokyo to repay the loan, and besides, the billboard he set up in front of the Viskef Theater is also very successful, which can be regarded as a merit and demerit, and the company does not plan to pursue his other problems."

As for you, it's human nature to love your colleagues, it's not a mistake, just be careful in the future. ”

Although President Oizumi said it lightly, the punishment for Mizuguchi was not so simple, although he was not fired, but soon a paper transfer order was issued, and he was transferred to the reference room of the Tokyo headquarters, which was a typical idle position without any future, and it can be said that he was like this at Panasonic in this life.

But it wasn't this incident that saddened him the most!
