Chapter 786
At six o'clock, the heroine of the opera sat on the ground with a dagger in her arms around her chest, and the curtain of the theater slowly fell to cover everything, and the whole opera came to an end. Originally, Durin didn't think of anything else, he actually listened to the person sitting in the back explain to his female companion that the curtain that descended was black, which represented despair, which meant that in the end despair overwhelmed everything, including the male protagonist who was still alive.
In addition, Duhrin also discovered a very strange thing, the successful capitalists sitting around him who ate people and did not spit out bones, maybe some of them forced others to die, but at this moment they actually showed sad expressions because of watching a tragic opera, and some women actually cried.
God bless, Duhrin also thinks that the opera is very good, and the actors are also very good, not only professional but also very tense. It's something that he doesn't see in other opera actors, he doesn't know how to describe it, it's the kind of guy who stands there, every line and every action makes you feel like he's the character, and that he's supposed to do it, without a bit of abruptness, with a very strong sense of identity, and it makes people feel like he's that person.
The only pity is that the plot is too old-fashioned, and he can't bring himself in, and he can't feel the thick sadness.
The teary-eyed Henry took out a handkerchief to wipe the tears on his cheekbones, he sobbed twice, "It's so touching, it's so sad, I never felt that grief would hit my heart like a river going backwards, I really want to find a place to cry happily!", he turned his head to look at Durin, "Why, why is there always an unbridgeable gap between commoners and nobles, is it not that even God can be touched by such love?"
Of course, it's because of the one thing you have in front of you, Du Lin silently sprayed in his heart, the love between nobles and commoners seems to always be the theme of tragedy, whether it is a male nobleman falling in love with a female commoner, or a female nobleman falling in love with a male commoner, in the end one has to die anyway, and sometimes the two die together.
"Aren't you sad?", looking at the silent Durin, Henry pinched his nose with a handkerchief and blew his nose, and then casually threw the handkerchief to the ground, "I found out for the first time, you are really cold-blooded!"
Durin pointed to his chest and his eyes widened, "I, my friend, I sat here with you for more than three hours to watch an opera that I didn't like, and then you said I was cold-blooded? Should I cry out loud to think that I was a normal person? But in fact it was an abnormal person, it was all fake, just an opera, a performance." ”
"But they did!", Henry argued rarely, and then his attention quickly shifted away from the question of whether Durin was a cold-blooded person, "How much do you think it would cost me to show my admiration and respect for her if I invited her to dinner?" 20,000 yuan should be about the same, her current market is about 20,000 yuan, what do you say?"
Durin rolled his eyes, he didn't even know where Henry had heard about the actress's price, maybe that's why he couldn't play with Henry, and Kevin in some ways.
Henry raised his hand and beckoned, and soon a theater waiter approached, holding a plate with a pen and paper on it. Nowadays, many opera houses have such unspoken rules, or the whole industry has a bad atmosphere, those actors desperately want to be famous, just to sell themselves at a better price, and then use this money to make themselves more status and fame, and then sell at a higher price.
At that time, Du Lin thought that this was just a feature of the imperial capital, but he didn't expect it to be the same here, so this is a question worth pondering, and it has evolved into a social problem. Perhaps this is directly related to the rapid changes of the times, many people have not kept up with the pace of the times, under the impact of huge forces, they can only choose the most suitable way to adapt to this era.
It's a cycle that never sees the end, and of course, that's what people call the circle of fame and fortune.
After Henry wrote down what he thought was the right price, he suddenly turned his head to look at Durin and asked, "Do you have any favorite actresses?" Durin shook his head, shrugged his shoulders and folded the note and put it back in the tray with a ten-dollar tip. The waiter trotted into the backstage with a tray on his face with a smile on his face, and the tip of ten yuan was enough to make him more active in serving this master.
"Guess if I'll be chosen, maybe I'll have three thousand more, so the odds are better. In the face of the chattering Henry Doolin found him annoying, and he would rather have the heroine kidnapped and sent to Henry's bed than for him to torture himself for such a thing.
Fortunately, the backstage actors were selected quickly, and Henry was very face-saving, he directly filled in a very high price of 30,000 yuan. Compared with those tens of thousands of notes, the heroine knows how to make the best choice for herself.
In fact, this is also a way to reflect the value of the actors, this time the heroine accepted Henry's invitation, and soon there will be news about the bidding, which will not have Henry's name and other information, but there is a price for inviting the heroine. In the future, when others want to invite her again, they will make their own judgment with reference to this price, and they can also provide an accurate judgment for the heroine herself.
In fact, Henry's behavior is very bad, he gives a premium of 50% higher than the market price he said, in the past, some people think that the price of opera actresses has risen too quickly and these people who raise the price are directly related, which makes some small rich people find that the price has exceeded their ability to do anything when they have not had time to do anything, which is a very annoying behavior. But on the other hand, how rich people want to spend their money is their own business, and no one cares about it, right?
There were two people when they came, three people when they left, and Durin wanted to refuse Henry's invitation to dinner, but the guy said that Durin had to have dinner with him, and the three of them chose a very luxurious and characteristic restaurant in Vanlier as the place for dinner.
After the three of them were seated, Henry ordered dinner, and then looked at the actress, "I'm Henry, and this is my good friend Durin." At the dinner table, Henry introduced himself and Durin to the actress, but it was okay if he didn't introduce him, but after his introduction, the actress stared at Durin instead.
"I seem to ...... Know you, Mr. Doolin, that your news is often reported in the newspapers. The actress was very enthusiastic, she thought that today's dinner would be with some greasy middle-aged people, but she didn't expect both of them to be good, especially with a celebrity like Doolin, fame and celebrity are also things she needs, or what all actors need. If a reporter could take a picture of her dining with Durin now, her worth would have increased again tomorrow morning.
Durin nodded in acknowledgment and said thank you before remaining silent, his indifferent behavior made the actress quickly realize something, she smiled politely, and then quietly focused on Henry's side, and began to interact more with Henry. She knows what to do and when, and it's not the first time!
The evening was well served, and Henry seemed very interested in the actress, and after dinner, he invited the actress out for a spin. Of course, fools know that this turn may take an overnight turn.
After dinner, Durin could finally say goodbye to Henry, the bastard, and probably remembered the most of all the events that had happened throughout the day. Because Henry only ordered one dish, but the three of them didn't eat it all, not even a tenth of it.
The name of this dish is "Roast Camel", and the restaurant originally had a hump and meat pieces that had been processed and dismembered, but Henry thought it important to eat fresh, so he asked the restaurant to slaughter a baby camel on the spot, for which he paid 800 yuan. In the eyes of the restaurateur, Henry may be a fool, but he himself thinks that this is a quality of life, and in short, he is happy.
The life of a rich man is such a fucking horse!
After returning home and washing up briefly, Durin sat down in his study in his pajamas, and sat in a chair without turning on the light. Durin's eyes were unusually bright in the dark, he was playing with a lighter in his hand, but his mind was thinking about the insurance company. Mr. Jackson promised to cooperate with Doolin, but he alone was not enough, and it can even be said that Dühring's plan for the insurance company was quite dangerous so far.
He's gambling now, and he's betting that when Maggs learns about the dispute between him and the two big banks, he'll lean more toward him than the big ones. Only by doing so can his registered patent be guaranteed to be valid in this dispute, otherwise he may lose. Mr. Jack had given him an accurate reply, the king and queen did not intend to get involved in the insurance company's business, and they thanked Doolin for inviting them, but they replied to Doolin in no uncertain terms that they did not play insurance.
This disappointed Durin, who had promised that it would be his most powerful card, but now it was in vain.
