"I just saved New York!"

Li Mo was a little difficult to accept, not to mention the kiss of the beauties, he already recognized himself, and he still came here?

The man shrugged his shoulders and spread out his hands, "I care more about whether my wallet can be saved than that." ”

Well, it is enough to have this reason.

Li Mo obediently paid the money, and the workmanship of this dress alone was worth this price.

Idle, Li Mo chatted with this guy.

This guy's name is Robert, and he is actually a Broadway actor who has formed a pioneer experimental theater troupe with a group of friends.

Li Mo asked a little strangely, "Then why did you do this?" ”

Robert shrugged, "The theater has collapsed in a big chunk because of your battle. We were inspired by you to try to put out an experimental drama about the night before, but we really didn't have the money, so we didn't come out to raise funds. ”

Li Mo was in awe, he always believed that only the poor and hungry could be called artists.

After chatting for a while, Li Mo was invited by Robert to watch their new play rehearsal.

Not far from here, Robert's rented house is an even more dilapidated old building.

Walking in the dirty and dilapidated aisle, Robert said helplessly to Li Mo: "If it weren't for the proximity to Broadway, a fool would pay to live in such a place." But even then, we couldn't afford to pay the rent. ”

Walking to the door of a room, Robert pushed open the door and shouted, "Hey, guys, look who I brought here, Li Mo himself came to see our rehearsal!" ”

The room erupted with ghostly howls and whistles.

After Li Mo entered, he bumped his fists into a bunch of people one by one to greet them, some of them had messy long hair, some were dressed in a punk style, and they all had the temperament of a decadent artist.

The room was even more cluttered, with cracked walls, wine bottles thrown everywhere, and cigarette butts piled up in ashtrays...

Li Mo didn't care, sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of beer handed over and drank it.

The show began,

First of all, a person in a strong muscular costume jumped out, Li Mo looked at it, well... No pants, this is Bronsky, and now it should be said that abomination, the new name of the New York media.

The hateful actor stared ahead with confused eyes, spread his hands, and said in a deep voice: "To survive or to destroy, this is a question worth considering." ”

Poof, Li Mo squirted out a mouthful of beer.

Then, Li Mo, played by Robert, walked out with exaggerated dance steps, "There is no good or bad in the world, everything is dictated by thoughts, rather than flattering and begging for the favor of others, I would rather be despised by everyone..."

Li Mo couldn't help but laugh, what is this, Shakespeare's version of Marvel?

After the actor of Iron Man came out, he actually danced a tap dance, "God gave birth to us to use us as torches, not to illuminate ourselves, but to illuminate the world..."

The next plot is even more absurd, and Hate and Hulk actually have a feeling of sympathy for each other.

Li Mo was already laughing so much that his stomach hurt, he thought it was a comedy drama, but he didn't expect it to be a love drama.

is worthy of being a screenwriter from a corrupt country!

Yes, the person sitting next to him told him that Robert was from England.

With the appearance of various characters, Li Mo gradually understood the play, what Robert wanted to express was the survival and struggle of ordinary people under the disaster, and the protagonists in the play were actually a couple on the night of the disaster.

A person sitting on the sofa said to Li Mo with a smile: "Robert, this guy, in order to please his girlfriend, calls the hero and heroine Robert and Julis respectively. ”

Just as the hero and heroine began to kiss after all kinds of hardships, a knock on the door suddenly sounded.

The rehearsal was temporarily suspended, and Robert opened the door, and a tall blonde white woman stood outside the door, and the woman said expressionlessly: "Robert, come out for a while, I have something to tell you." ”

Everyone looked at each other and sensed that something was wrong. A person whispered to Li Mo: "That's Robert's girlfriend Julis." ”

After a while, the sound outside the door grew louder. Robert shouted loudly outside, with a hint of pain in his voice, "Why? I'm already going to propose to you! ”

And the woman shouted angrily, "You're embarrassed to say why! When I was young, I didn't understand anything, and I admired your talent and followed you out of England and into New York. And you, after so many years of achieving nothing, I'm fed up with this life. Yes, Bob is fat and ugly, but he has money and can give me a stable life! ”

After saying that, everyone heard the sound of the woman turning away, her high heels clattering on the floor...

Robert walked in dejectedly, looked at the concerned eyes of his friends, and said bitterly, "Leave her alone, the rehearsal continues." ”

The crowd sighed, and the rehearsals for the play continued in a dreary atmosphere...

Eventually, Abomination died in Hulk's arms out of love for Hulk.

Hulk screamed in pain: "For the sake of loving you, I will fight against time, what it took from you, I will re-graft..."

And the couple protagonists in the play also escaped from the disaster, and they think back to a lot of things. The actor remembered the difficulties he had experienced and the bits and pieces of the past, looked up at the front, and said a classic line from Shakespeare's famous play "Macbeth",

No matter how long the night is, the day will come!

……

After being silent for a long time, Robert sighed and said to Li Mo: "I asked a few critics to read it, and they all said that this is absurd and boring shit, Julis is right, I am really a waste who is nothing." ”

Li Mo lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, "I once read an article that in Paris in the 16th century, there were all kinds of literary and dramatic critics in endlessly. Their sarcastic comments even tried to make the author commit suicide by jumping off a building, but many of them fell silent and struggled to move forward, and finally the glorious Renaissance era appeared. ”

"Do you like drama?" Li Mo asked at Robert.

"Drama is the only lover in my life!" A gleam appeared in Robert's eyes.

"If you love something, try to accept it all." Li Mo pursed his lips and said. "Also, this show is indeed absurd and boring shit as critics say!"

All the actors in the room were a little distracted, and some even shed tears...

"However, what I want to say is..."A smile appeared on the corner of Li Mo's mouth,

"I love it!"

Everyone in the room suddenly turned from sadness to joy, and finally someone was willing to admit them, and they endured frustration, poverty, and sometimes just for their own things to be recognized by others.

Seeing that everyone had begun to high-five and hug each other, Li Mo's voice also became louder, "Also, can I invite you to perform this play at my birthday party?" ”

"Although it's not in the theater, it's just a small birthday party, and the audience may not be too much, but at least..." Li Mo smiled, "I will pay for this play!" ”

The crowd couldn't help but start cheering.

"It's definitely enough for you to pay the rent for a while, and you don't have to leave here!" Li Mo shrugged his shoulders and said.

“yeah！” The down-and-out actors in the room cheered wildly and couldn't help but dance...

When he came down from upstairs, Li Mo still had a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he was always in a happy mood when he was with a group of people chasing his dreams.

At this time, the phone suddenly rang, it was a call from little Lucas, "Boss, the place you mentioned promised us to charter the venue, but I feel that it is always a little weird for a birthday party to be held in a brothel..."

"Pushed them!" A bright smile appeared on the corner of Li Mo's mouth, "I'll find another place, I'll give myself a grand show!" ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Mo stood on the sunny street of Hell's Kitchen, looking up at the sky...

happy birthday！
