4. Chapter IV

The famous Broadway is located between Battery Park and Manhattan in New York.

There are quite a few theaters on this street, except for the small theaters, but there are only a few large theaters that are second to none.

These theaters are incomparable to those small theaters in terms of the number of viewers, the venue, and the quality of the actors.

Unfortunately, the Lincoln Center Theater that Elisa was looking at was one of the few large theaters that sent out the job posting.

It stands to reason that this kind of grand theater is generally its own set of teams, and even if one or two roles are vacant, they will immediately replace them.

Of course, this substitute will still be found in his own theater.

So when Elisa searched for news about the Lincoln Theater, she had a preliminary understanding of the opera industry, but she didn't understand the theater's online recruitment behavior.

She learns that the theater has been remodeled from the Metropolitan Performance, the predecessor of Broadway, and sends out the news of recruitment, not from the inside, which makes Elisa sensitive to the news.

And this feeling in the dark, she also knows that her opportunity has come.

"Hello, Miss, this is your number plate." The lady at the front desk put on an amiable smile and handed the sign to the girl in front of her.

It was obviously a bit inappropriate to address this young lady as a lady, and from the appearance of this beautiful young lady she was probably not more than twenty years old.

Lacey fixed her gaze on her back, which was gone, and just by looking at her face, Lacey felt that she could score ninety points for her.

Elisa got the number 48.

Her number is not too early, but looking at the people who came to the theater one after another to apply, it seems that the number she got is not far behind.

The position in the middle has always been very delicate.

If you don't grasp the scale well, you will naturally be ignored.

As the manager of a large theater, Joe. Schumatt has always been busy.

However, at this moment, he deigned to sit in a large room, waiting for the next interview.

It stands to reason that this kind of thing has always been handled by someone at the bottom, and as a manager, he only needs to glance at the newcomer contract and sign it.

This abnormal attitude, coupled with the fact that some time ago it was open to the outside world instead of selecting people from within, has made many people smell that something is wrong.

Annie. Hibbert and her buddy Raul. Kotler glanced at each other, and they were both sensitively aware that it was the change of directors of the high-level personnel.

However, one of them is in charge of vocal music, and the other is a pipe body, no matter how turbulent it is, it can't reach a little person like them who receives a salary.

But in any case, today's interview is destined to be very unusual.

"Very good, thirty-sixth, you go out first." Raul picked up his resume, he was from a decent professional background, and his performance was bland, but compared to the previous few who came out of the wild way, it was already much better.

That's why he said that recruiting from outside is not reliable at all.

Packed up the few profiles that were put on the table.

"Do we need to continue? Mr. Schumat. Raul asked his boss with a sideways look.

"How many more?" Joe closed his eyes.

"About eighty." Raul looked at it.

"Go on."

Raul, who had been instructed, shrugged his shoulders at Anne helplessly, and in his opinion, there was no need for this interview to go down.

Because Broadway is closely linked to Hollywood, many people who come to audition can't help but have the attitude of being discovered, but look at their poor performances and crappy line skills.

Anne and Raul felt like they were in sin.

"Next, number forty-eight." Raul looked at the girl who walked in: "Elisa. Miss Serena. ”

Broadway is different from Hollywood, they pay more attention to the actor's skills than his face, but as a beautiful girl, she is popular in most places.

This eternal truth is found in Raul. Kotler's body was very good, and even when he saw this girl's bad resume, he didn't have any quick ideas, on the contrary, he even hoped that it would take a little longer, as long as the girl's singing voice was not too disgusting, and look at her beautiful lake-blue eyes, he felt that he could look at that beautiful face and forgive her.

Beautiful girls are always a bit of a privilege.

At least, as soon as Elisa entered the door, she successfully attracted the attention of the three of them.

Even Joe, who had been sitting silently, glanced up at the girl.

It's a good start for Elisa.

And then, it's up to her to use this not bad impression to create a better result for herself.

A smile fell on her lips and she greeted them generously.

"Okay, Miss Serena, we all know that you're going to audition today for the role of Meggie of the Phantom of the Opera." Raul said, "Can you tell me, then, how much do you know about this famous opera?" ”

"If I had to sum it up in a few words, it would be Andrew Lloyd Webber's masterpiece, a timeless classic of musical theatre, but—." Elisa deliberately dragged out her tone.

This little trick is not offensive, and even has a bit of girlish playfulness, and Elisa handles it very skillfully, and when Raul and the others have not yet felt impatient because of her words, she neatly adds the following words.

To be sure, her insight, if not surprisingly ingenious, is still eye-catching.

"However, I think that as an opera, its appreciation and popularity are far superior to other operas." "It's unparalleled both in terms of the tastes of the audience and in terms of the arts," she says. ”

Looking at the satisfied gazes in the eyes of the two, Elisa's breath of relief finally eased up.

It's not in vain that she has done so much homework in the entertainment space.

The next thing was naturally for Raul to ask her to sing a part of Act III, "The Angel of Music".

As the second supporting actress and the heroine Christine's friend, Meggie's role is not small, and in the third act, the scene of the musical angel singing with the heroine is also the top priority, and Elisa has not practiced less.

The singing at the moment is just a breeze for her.

She started to see that Qiē was going in the direction she had expected, but the man sitting in the middle suddenly interrupted her singing.

Elisa's face froze, and she quickly returned to normal.

"Sing straight to Christine's part in Act III." He said, "Can you do it?"
