"The show is down?!"

Xu An was taken aback, if he didn't perform daily, he could naturally speed up the rehearsal, but if there was no performance, it would mean that there would be no income, and the entire troupe of twenty or thirty people would be a big expense every day, and even if he didn't participate in the performance, the rehearsal venue would be a problem, unless he was willing to pay the venue rent!

"I've discussed with Rachel, take out all my savings, and borrow some from the bank, we must play this show to the best!" Bruce said with a resolute expression. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Burn one's ship!

Xu An also had to applaud Bruce's courage.

At this moment, someone suddenly said behind Xu An: "But even so, your funds are not enough to support the day this drama premieres!" ”

Xu An turned around and found that the person who came was an old man, an old man with a very personality, his black and white hair showed that he was no longer young, but the trendy dress of the pink shirt and white trousers showed that he had never aged in his heart.

Seeing him, Xu An remembered an actor in that world in his dream, Morgan Freeman! The two are really alike!

But it wasn't the same, the old man wasn't as dark as Morgan, and the lines on his face were softer.

"Ann, this is the theater owner, Douglas Occam, and my best buddy!" Bruce patted the old man on the shoulder and introduced, "Douglas, this is ......"

"Best-selling author in the limelight, I know you, Xu An, it's a pleasure to meet you here!" Douglas stretched out his hand and smiled at Xu An.

Xu An shook hands with the other party, "Hello, sir." ”

"Call me Douglas, or just call me Doug, like Bruce." Douglas was a very casual man, he pointed to the chair below and made a funny expression: "I have eight hundred and twenty-one seats in my theater, but why are the three of us standing here like fools?" ”

Bruce and Xu An laughed together, and the three of them walked off the stage and found a seat to sit down.

"Listen to me, Bruce, your money won't last long, there is no collateral, and the bank will not provide you with much money, but then in addition to paying your members' salaries, you also have to buy costumes, stage sets, you want to make this show the best it can be, you can't do it without money!" Douglas said to Bruce.

Bruce's face fell, and he said helplessly: "Actually, I'm going to update the lighting and sound of the theater!" ”

"Hey, lad, the sound and lighting are my problem, I'm ready to throw these junks away and replace them with new ones!" Douglas exclaimed.

"Don't you have no money?"

Douglas blinked: "So I'm going to mortgage the theater to the bank, borrow a large amount of money, lend you a part, and use the rest to upgrade the theater!" ”

"No, no, no, you can't do that, Doug, you can't mortgage this theater to the bank, in case ......"

"Listen, Bruce, no if, this show will be a success, you have to believe in yourself, believe in Ann, I've been on Broadway all my life, and you have to believe in my vision!" Douglas said seriously.

Bruce shook his head, he and Douglas have known each other for more than ten years, it was Douglas who took him in and let him perform here, even if the Golden Rose is dilapidated, but this is Broadway, and the tasteful audience is reluctant to come in, but the tourists are always endless, and they are not so bad that they can't get along.

It was because he had known each other for a long time that he knew what this theater meant to Douglas.

"I can find someone to invest in, there are a lot of investors on Broadway!"

Douglas was a little unhappy, he glared at Bruce and said: "This is a very good work, it is foreseeable that investors will definitely make money, this kind of good thing you want to get rid of me?!" ”

"There is no guarantee that an investment will pay off!" Bruce insisted that he didn't want Douglas to take the risk.

Douglas is an old man now, and if he were even ten years younger, Bruce would agree.

"Two, do you think I'm air? I wrote the script, and I had faith in it, so I thought I could invest in a part of it too! Xu An couldn't help but say that the idea of investment was not something he came up with, but something that Lance proposed and Matthew suggested after thinking about it.

In fact, Matthew's advice is more polished than a simple investment.

Bruce's eyes lit up, and after thinking for a while, he still refused: "Ann, I am very grateful that you handed over this script to me, there is no need for you to do it again, even if you don't invest, this drama was created by you, and you have a lot of box office share, which is much more stable than investment!" ”

"But I want to earn more!" Xu An blinked, "We may be able to set up a drama company, now there is "Mamma Mia", and there will be other stage plays in the future, please, I am only twenty-one years old, do you think that I can only create such a script in my life?!" ”

The idea of setting up a company was Matthew's vision.

Of course, Matthew did not suggest that Xu An set up a drama company, he just proposed such a direction, in case "Mamma Mia" became popular, the business direction, because the complete copyright of "Mamma Mia" is in Xu An's hands, if this drama is popular, it will involve box office sharing, and when others want to perform in the future, Matthew is Xu An's lawyer, and he has a lot of work to do.

So Matthew mentioned a problem, setting up a drama company, which is not only convenient to handle various affairs, but also can find ways to avoid taxes.

Matthew didn't know what would happen to "Mamma Mia" in the future, so he just said such a feasible way, but Xu An clearly knew the brilliance of "Mamma Mia", so when Matthew put forward this idea, he kept it in mind.

Bruce's eyes lit up, he didn't feel much about the drama company, but the more scripts mentioned by Xu An attracted him, for an actor, there is nothing more attractive than an excellent script, so he replied almost without thinking: "Of course I believe you, you are a genius, about the drama company, you can tell me in detail!" ”

For Bruce, there is a partnership company, which can tie himself and Xu An together as much as possible, so as to ensure that he can take over Xu An's new script in the future, after all, the two are friends and neighbors now, but in Xu An's situation, he can't live in that dilapidated bachelor apartment forever, and the lives of the two sides don't have much intersection, and they will only drift apart in the future.

But if the two partner up to form a theater company, the situation is completely different.

"I'm just making a suggestion, it's just an idea of mine, not much detail, if Bruce you're interested, we can find time to talk about it, honestly, I don't know much about that." Xu Andao.

At this time, Douglas was in a hurry, "You can't throw me down, I can use my theater as a shareholder!" ”

"Okay, it's just an idea, a proposal, I think it's better for everyone to think about it, after all, it's not a trivial matter!" Xu An didn't expect Douglas to be interested, so he hurriedly cooled down this anxious old man.

This theater that can accommodate more than 800 people, even if it is as dilapidated as a country theater, even if it has a small audience, but this is Broadway, Off-Broadway is Broadway, this is Manhattan, it is New York, it is one of the largest cities in the United States, even if it is just an empty shell, it has nothing, it is still worth a lot.

If Douglas uses the theater as a shareholder, then the company can almost be said to be his, according to the proportion of investment, Xu An and Bruce can't take out so much money!
