18. Chapter XVIII

"Newcomers to the theater?" Alyssa put her things on her desk and repeated Vayne's words.

"Yes, yes." Wayne is very enthusiastic about the often elusive Elisa, you know, the best way to promote a woman's relationship, besides the mutual enemy of both parties, is gossip.

"It was chosen from Off-Broadway because the theater was going to open a new musical in the fall." Wayne said.

Elisa also remembered that Jenny seemed to mention the "ex-boyfriend" Langel. Williams is currently a Broadway actress, but who can give the idea of how fate can be so wonderful.

"The higher-ups seem to be very serious about this drama, and they all transferred Emma over there." Wayne cautiously brought up the topic.

Although it is said that Emma worked a little harder and temporarily served as the protagonist of the two dramas, with Elisa in the way, the meaning is a little different.

But the strange thing is that she has always had a soft spot for the role □□of Christine, and once did eight performances a week, in order to prevent the substitute from being on stage, she once played six games alone, and finally let the substitute play because her voice was really bad.

And this week, the new start, and the eight consecutive performances of "The Phantom of the Opera" are performed, and with Emma and Elisa evenly divided, there is basically no possibility of rotation.

Wayne didn't know that Elisa's contract with the theater was about to expire, on the contrary, she felt that Elisa was valued by the higher-ups and was simply envious.

There is no doubt that this personnel transfer between performances as the theater manager Joe. Schumatt must be the first person to know, and this arrangement also made Elisa more and more unable to understand this young man.

But no matter Joe. What kind of idea did Schumatt have, since he gave Elisa such a heavy task, it also meant that Elisa had to compress and compress her time.

Fortunately, for musicals, her performance is also on the rise, Broadway and Hollywood have never been very separated, and Elisa's acting skills from "Dr. House" are also applicable to "The Phantom of the Opera".

Compared to Alyssa's hindsight that there is a newcomer in the theater, Brianna. As soon as Rochester entered the Lincoln Theatre, he heard of her name, Elisa. Serena.

It took just one month to successfully squeeze out the original first heroine Emma. Rist became one of the main stars in the role of Christine in "The Phantom of the Opera".

She had actually heard of the newcomer's reputation on Broadway, but she had never brought this Elisa. Serena and the one she knew, Elisa. Serena thought about it together.

In European and American countries, there are countless people who have the same name, although there are few people with the name Elisa, but it is not nothing, and Brianna wants Brianna to associate the waitress chick of the barbecue restaurant with this opera actress who is temporarily in the limelight.

It was a test of her imagination.

And when she actually saw Elisa in the theater, she was sure that this Elisa. Serena is really that Elisa. Serena's unbelievable love filled her brain at once.

Elisa had never seen her so-called "rival in love", and she only analyzed it by inference at the door of the theater, and with Wayne's corroboration, she only knew that the theater did come to Lincoln Theater, but she was a little far away from the theater door, and the woman's head was resting on the man's shoulder at that time, so she didn't know what Brianna looked like.

The first meeting between the two was completed in a hurry down the hallway.

"The one just now, the one who .......... Elisa. Serena? Brianna wanted to tell herself that she was dazzled, but Elisa's iconic appearance was impossible for her to forget, and being able to snatch her boyfriend from a beauty was also Brianna's capital to show off. Serena's appearance, she has always remembered better than anyone else.

Her companion was a little curious about her reaction: "Yes, you just arrived, Elisa seems to be a little busy lately, but she's pretty good." ”

"yes, it's pretty good." Recalling Elisa, who was also non-aggressive after being robbed of her boyfriend, Brianna scoffed at the evaluation of being good, which was just synonymous with cowardice and timidity.

"You know?"

"No, it's not just acquaintance." Brianna said with a smile.

A barbecue girl suddenly became a pillar of the theater, and she was dressed like a god, no matter how she thought about it, Brianna felt that there was something wrong with the meaning inside.

So, during her dinner with Ranger, for the first time, she threw out a name that she had never bothered to talk about before.

"What did Serena do before?" She looked at her boyfriend and elegantly cut a piece of steak into her mouth.

Maybe it's because the ex-girlfriend's sense of existence is too weak, Ranger. Williams was even dazed for a moment when he heard the name before he realized it was his ex-girlfriend's name.

"Don't you know all of this?" I have to say that Ranger's skin is still very lethal, tall and handsome, well-groomed clothes and hairstyles, and a little dandy-like riffraff when he laughs.

"And what did she do before she worked at a rotisserie?"

"....... work? How I noticed. Ranger didn't understand how Brianna could suddenly get entangled in this topic: "What's wrong? ”

"I met her in the theater today." Brianna put down the knife and fork in her hand, "It's inside the Lincoln Theater." ”

"Is she doing chores in there?" Ranger had no qualms about making fun of his ex-girlfriend.

But Brianna laughed without a smile, pursed her lips, and did not speak.

Elisa to Brianna. The impact brought by Rochester can be imagined, but as the owner of this qiē shock, Elisa. Serena didn't care about it, except for the surprise she felt when she first found out, she didn't feel much at ease about it.

In addition to running between the crew and the Lincoln Theater every day, she also has to go to the Screen Actors Guild to go through the formalities, most actors in the United States will choose to join the Screen Actors Guild, but Elisa was too busy some time ago, so she postponed this matter for the time being.

Because of Elisa's fast progress, and in addition, the supporting roles are not like the protagonists, and there are many heavy roles, so after thinking about it, the crew was very merciful and gave Elisa two days off, which also allowed her to adjust her state.

Stop. Laurie is very envious of her, he is the first protagonist, many things are going around him, and the crew will not let him go on vacation.

After a period of filming together, Elisa's relationship with the crew has become good, even in the face of Hugh. Laurie, she could easily tease him.

"I'll take your share off, don't envy me too much."

This kind of hateful behavior has successfully been unanimously despised by everyone.

Elisa was back to work in the theater on her second day, and Joe. Schumatt met for the first time in many days.

"How does it feel to be on TV?" Joe looked at her with a smile.

"It's great." Elisa replied politely, for Joe. Schumat, an incomprehensible person, has always pursued a principle of distancing.

Otherwise, she would feel that even if she was sold one day, she might be grateful to the man in front of her.

"David. Shore complimented you to the makers of Fox. He said, "You're great too." ”

Ordinary people are always a little shy when the words of praise are said in front of others, but Elisa generously agrees.

"I didn't expect him to compliment me." Elisa really didn't think about it, after all, she is just a fledgling newcomer, directors and screenwriters like them, I don't know how long they have been in Hollywood, and they have a lot of knowledge, and they shouldn't be surprised by powerful newcomers.

"But I'm very happy."

"I'm looking forward to your watch." Joe. "The show is almost scheduled, and it will start airing in November after the Emmy Awards," Schumatt said. ”

got the news of □□ early, and Elisa also had a rough estimate of the shooting time, no wonder she was so generous to give her two days off, sure enough, there was still plenty of time.

In this way, she can take more time to practice in the system.

For three hours, she always had to make the most of it to be worthy of herself.

Sure enough, people only know how to cherish when they lose, when the system was open all day without time restrictions, she was dispensable to it, and now, she wished she could go in at will all day long.

At the beginning of a new round of performances, Elisa can clearly feel that she is a small number of popular people.

At least because the number of people who came to see the beautiful actress with a good performance increased a little.

"Her name is Elisa. Serena. Lilith solemnly said to her parents and sister, "Not that beautiful actress. ”

For Lilith's general behavior, her family only thinks she is very cute.

Lilith has become a loyal fan of Elisa since her first performance, and that meeting at the supermarket made her even more determined to be an amiable actress.

Therefore, she strongly requested that this week's family activity be to watch the performance of "The Phantom of the Opera" collectively, so she also specially checked on the Internet whether Elisa was playing today's performance, or Emma. Rist's performance.

Lilith looked so excited to meet her favorite actor that she told her sister about the last time she met Elisa in the supermarket.

"And her person is really super, there is no actor frame at all, and it is really beautiful to look at the fried chicken up close." Judging from the last sentence of the aggravated tone, this reflects from the side, in fact, Lilith is also a strict appearance associationist.

"Alright, the show has begun." Her mother interrupted her youngest daughter's gushing praise.

Sure enough, hearing the opening music, Lilith's mouth suddenly closed.

“………………

Say you love me in every waking moment"

"Use the beauty of summer to make me forget my fears."

"Say you need me, now and forever."

"The promises made to you come from the bottom of your heart."

"I want nothing more!"

When Elisa sings the treble part, she takes on a very clever transition, a trick she learned in space.

She looked at Raoul with a gentle gaze.

"Let me shelter you from the elements."

"Let me bring you the dawn."

"You are safe, no one will haunt you anymore," Raoul sang, "What you fear, is a thousand miles away." ”

…………………………………

Elisa spoke softly and joined Raoult.

"Let's spend every day and night together."

"Say you love me I say you love me!"

"Follow you, no matter the north or the south! Say you love me! I don't want anything else!"

……………………………………………

At the curtain call, Lilith's palms clapped loudly.

"How! Isn't she acting amazing! Lilith asked her family eagerly.

"Yes......" Her sister paused deliberately, successfully seeing the scene of her sister's fried hair.

"It's great."

Elisa's performance, the person who shocked the most was undoubtedly Brianna.

In fact, in her heart, she has also made a little preparation, Elisa. Serena would perform well, but she didn't expect her performance to throw her a few streets.

This clear realization made her unwilling and a little jealous.

She used to be just a silent barbecue clerk, she thought to herself.

She clenched her palms and took a deep breath.

"Very good show." Joe. Shumatt summoned Elisa into his office again.

Elisa thinks people will wonder if she has something to tell the manager.

And, it seems.....it seems that she's Joe too. Shumatt was elected to the theater by public opinion, so thinking about it, her relationship with him seems to be really a little strange?!

But she won't be so narcissistic that she will have the three major illusions of life all of a sudden.

"Thank you." She moved slightly away from Joe. Shumat was a little farther away.

"You don't have to be so nervous." Joe. Shumat naturally knew her intentions.

"Wise people don't speak secret words." He smiled and spoke clearly: "Then, I'll say what I think." ”

Elisa didn't understand his intentions.

"You don't have an agent yet, do you?" Joe. Shumatt said.

"You should know that." Her contracts are all handled by him, how can there be such a thing as an agent.

He smiled and threw a rather tempting olive branch to her.

"In fact, this year, I'm starting a company with someone else."

"Brokerage firms."
