"Ann, guess who the screenwriter of this show is?" Bruce touched Xu An and asked with a wink. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Xu An looked at him inexplicably, and replied tentatively: "You? ”

“bingo！” Bruce snapped his fingers, "That's right, that's me!" ”

Xu An held his forehead and said helplessly: "I can see it." ”

"It's a pity that I can't compose, if this drama still can't attract enough audiences, then we can only continue to honestly pay money to perform other people's plays, that's not bad, although it can't cause a sensation, but at least it's okay to eat!" is approaching the performance, and it is not only Emily who is worried, but Bruce is also a little uncertain, especially as the head of the troupe, who has put a lot of effort into this show, but he is actually more anxious, but he has not shown it in front of others.

"Shut up! Bruce! Rachel joins in, just in time to hear Bruce's words, "If it doesn't work out this time, then keep trying!" Bruce, what is it that everyone endures low salaries, lives in old apartments, and can't go to bars to drink? Could it be that we came to New York, to Broadway, just to play someone else's play and eat it?! ”

Rachel's voice was so loud that it attracted everyone's attention, Bruce hurriedly covered her mouth, hugged her tightly, and comforted: "OK, OK, Rachel, calm down, calm down, I just said casually, you know, I'm such a person, nothing else, OK?" ”

Rachel broke free of Bruce's embrace and kicked him.

Others watched from afar, looking a little confused, performing on Broadway, in fact, it is the same as Hollywood in Los Angeles, there are a large number of practitioners, the competition is quite fierce, the scenery is only a small number of people, most of them can just eat, and even in order to survive, some people have to work part-time, some people give up every day, but more people are still insisting on their dreams in their hearts.

Bruce and the others are such people who are still persevering, Xu An stayed in the theater until the evening, saw the hardships of their daily rehearsals, and also met the other people in the troupe, this group of people has young people like Emily, and there are middle-aged people like Arthur, who endure the stuffy theater and boring rehearsals, waiting for the day when they will break out of the cocoon and be reborn.

In the evening, everyone left the theater in twos and threes, the staff began to enter, prepare the set and backstage, and in the evening it was another theater company's performance, Bruce announced that everyone would rest tonight, and then leave alone with Rachel, and the others also had their own activities, and a young man came to meet Emily for dinner, but Emily refused.

"Did you see that handsome guy disappointed just now?" Xu An teased him evilly, the person who asked Emily was a handsome guy, in his thirties, and he looked very charming, but when he saw Xu An beside Emily, he still came to date the girl.

"Disappointed? Ha, don't worry, he's going to date another girl soon, that guy can't live without a woman, and he's very attentive! Emily said disdainfully, "I swear, he must have come to me once a day like he did to buy the lotto, maybe he thinks I'm going to lose my brain one day?" ”

Xu An laughed and said, "I dare to promise that if he hears you, he will definitely not come to ask you again!" ”

"Then you underestimate him, Rachel said that as long as the girl in his sight, he would want to make an appointment!" Emily swore that it didn't look like that guy's reputation was really good.

"At least we have to admit that he was courageous, right? There's nothing to lose by trying it out, but what if it succeeds? Xu An smiled: "Don't talk about this guy, what do you want to eat at night, I invite you?" ”

Emily looked at him with a mischievous look in the corner of her eyes, and said, "Are you dating me?" ”

"Uh......" Xu An spread his hands and said, "Okay, beautiful girl, may I have the pleasure of having dinner with you?" ”

"Okay, here's a chance!" Emily said playfully.

After saying that, the two looked at each other and laughed.

Although it was just a joke, Xu An still found a good western restaurant, since it was a date, it couldn't be too casual, and he had now received a prepaid royalty, so he could go in and out of this kind of occasion with peace of mind, so Emily also went back to the apartment to change into a purple dress.

Because of this, a simple dinner suddenly became a little awkward, and soothing music echoed in the restaurant, but Xu An and Emily were a little speechless.

"Ahem!" Xu An coughed lightly, picked up his wine glass and said, "Emily, I wish you a great success in your new drama!" ”

Emily smiled sweetly, her whole face was radiant, and she gently touched the wine glass with Xu An, and smiled: "I also wish you a best-selling new book!" ”

Bite!

After the mellow wine was down, the awkward atmosphere between the two eased a lot, and Xu An raised his knife and fork and said, "Let's go!" He cut the steak on the plate and said casually, "Emily, is this the first time you've rehearsed a new play today?" ”

"I think it's the first time I've joined!" Emily said, "I've heard Rachel say that they had rehearsed three new plays before I joined, but they all failed, which is normal, and there are new plays on Broadway almost every week, and many of them don't go for more than a week, and some don't even show up on the day of the first performance." ”

Xu An nodded and said, "It is conceivable that if I write a book that no one wants to read, I think that feeling must be very bad!" ”

"So I'm very worried!" Emily leaned forward, as if she couldn't help but be nervous when she talked about this topic, "This is my first time acting in a new play, I have done statistics, most of those popular new dramas are produced by those large theater companies, they have professional personnel, they can afford to hire good composers, and new dramas like ours are rarely successful!" ”

As she spoke, Emily bit down the steak on her fork.

"In that case, there's nothing to worry about!" Xu An is the kind of person who will not comfort others, he thought for a while, and continued: "Anyway, it is very likely to fail, so what are you worried about?" ”

"Worried about what if it succeeds?" Emily said immediately.

Xu An was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing, "It seems that you are still a philosopher, worried about success?" This sentence is so philosophical! ”

If things are doomed, they may not be worried, but with even a 1 in 10,000 chance of success, people will be afraid of almost doomed failure.

"Don't make fun of me, Ann, don't talk about this in front of me lately, I'm nervous at the mention of it!" Emily frowned and said, suddenly annoyed, "Oh, I'm sorry, tonight, on this occasion, I shouldn't be like this, it's such a disappointment!" ”

"It's okay, Emily, relax." Xu An put down the knife and fork, patted Emily's hand lightly and comforted, he thought for a while, and said: "If, I mean if, if your new drama doesn't succeed, I have a good idea in my head, would you like to try it?" ”
