As soon as Harvey sat down, bread and milk, fried eggs and bacon were placed in front of him, and Shirley also put a ham on his plate. I can only do housework, if it's okay to play the role of a servant, how can I be qualified to play a noble countess? ”

- Sure enough, I'm still thinking about it.

Shirley's soft and weak quiet personality is indeed not suitable for being an actor, but she is very similar to Mercertes.

Harvey chuckled and shook his head: "But you also know that the character of Mercetes has a lot of similarities with you, you don't need to be nervous when performing, just read the lines, and you also heard the praise of the director of the Brenda theater troupe yesterday, even if you don't believe my vision, believe in the judgment of a theater troupe director with decades of theater experience." ”

"But..."

Speaking of which, Shirley couldn't find a reason to refute it, and put back the ham that was originally intended to be on Harvey's plate, silently protesting Harvey's arrangement.

Harvey took the ham and smiled and said, "It just so happens that I also play the Count of Monte Cristo, I will accompany you to practice well, we don't need to perform in front of a lot of audiences, even if we fail, there are many chances." ”

Shirley looked at him suspiciously: "Every time my lord comes home, he doesn't go to that closet." ”

"From today onwards, I will spare at least one hour a day to practice with you."

She hesitated and replied, "Hmm." ”

"Let's eat, I'm going to go to the theater troupe later, introduce you and Diana to other people, and then we can practice together, and we will shoot in a few days, do you want to try on the new dress?"

"I've washed it, it shouldn't have dried it yet, sir, that dress is very expensive..."

"I can use magic to blow dry, don't care about money, the money earned by "The Count of Monte Cristo" is enough for us to live a life of luxury, by the way~ Do you want me to help you put it on?"

The more high-end the dress, the more troublesome it is to wear, with three layers inside and three layers outside, which is probably a rich design, and a woman without a servant is not even qualified to wear a dress.

Shirley didn't know what to remember, her snow-white pretty face flushed slightly, lowered her head and took a small bite of bread and whispered, "Hmm." ”

"Performance

Skill Level: E

Proficiency: B

Description: You are good at playing, you can easily play any type of character, maybe a third-rate thief, or a dignified knight, or a proud nobleman, wearing a beggar costume can also perform aristocratic demeanor, when you already have the impression of that character in your mind, you can easily copy his words and deeds. ”

When Harvey decided to play the role of the Count of Monte Cristo, the [Performance] skill appeared in the attribute panel in his mind, and the proficiency was only E level at first, and he simply upgraded it to B level with the latest skill bonus points. The B-level proficiency already gave him the same level of acting skills as the previous world superstar, which is actually a very general statement, and Harvey's proficiency in this skill has only felt a subtle change.

He is sure that now he no longer feels embarrassed when he plays a certain character in front of others, there are fewer psychological barriers, and he knows more about how to express the emotions of the character.

Harvey is the "author" of The Count of Monte Cristo, and even in order to write The Count of Monte Cristo in this world, he has studied the whole story and all the characters in depth. He recalled all the descriptions of the Count of Monte Cristo in the novel, Edmund was a good young man of integrity, and after being imprisoned, he learned from Father Faria the equivalent of several lifetimes of ordinary people, and the vengeful anger made him stronger and better able to hide himself.

If there is one word to describe the Count of Monte Cristo, Harvey does not think of wisdom, nor of maturity, but of dignity. The Count of Monte Cristo in his youth, the Count of Monte Cristo the Avenger, and the hidden side of the Count of Monte Cristo, everything about the characters is set in Harvey's mind.

It didn't take long for Harvey to get the hang of playing the Count of Monte Cristo, and his mind flowed back to reality.

Harvey opened his eyes and saw the members of the Brenda Theatre Troupe and the newcomers Diana and Shirley on the stage of the theater in front of him practicing their performances while watching the script he had written, while the cameraman Kenneth was holding the illusion crystal next to him and began to record the footage. Everyone is still in the run-in stage, so that the members of the Brenda Theater Troupe can understand the difference between drama and phantom as soon as possible, and also give Diana and Shirley time to practice.

"Dear Mr. Adrian." The girl's soft call interrupted Harvey's considerations, and he followed the prestige to see a slightly sad girl standing in front of him, Christy Isaiah, the ace of the Brenda Theater Company, who originally played Haydai.

Harvey politely replied, "Miss Isaiah, is there anything wrong?" ”

Christie looked at Diana, who was practicing on the stage, her expression became more bitter and unwilling, the paper script in her hand changed a little, and her voice unconsciously raised with some questioning: "Do you really think that a person who has no acting foundation is more suitable to play a noble woman than me?" ”

The questioning voice attracted the attention of the other actors who were practicing, and after a slight glance, they could do whatever they wanted, which was not something they should care about or watch.

Haidai is the most important female character in "The Count of Monte Cristo", how can she be easily snatched away by others to make Christie feel at ease, not to mention that she can only play a role in the early stage, and the huge gap makes her, the ace of the Brenda Theater Troupe, unacceptable, this sentence is questioning Harvey, but also questioning Diana.

Christie's beautiful eyes were full of tears when she asked this, and her stubbornness and pitiful appearance were enough to shake any man. She always believed that Diana relied on her surname to win this role, Diana Cromwell, the daughter of the Cromwell family, and recently the Cromwell Chamber of Commerce joined the program, and anyone with a discerning eye knows what is going on.

Even if she couldn't get Harvey to change her mind, she had to at least let everyone know about it.

Harvey looked at Diana, who was still practicing, and shook his head: "I don't know the answer either, now I can ask." ”

"Ask?"

Christie was puzzled to see Harvey get up and walk over to Diana, who was holding a script in one hand and practicing her performance in front of the air.

"Diana, what do you think?"

When Diana was asked to play Haydai, Diana didn't explicitly refuse or agree, Harvey gave her a few days to try and think about it, and now it seems that she is enjoying it a little.

Diana didn't seem to hear Christie's question just now, and looked at Harvey with her right hand on her waist and bowed slightly: "I don't have to perform in front of the audience anymore, which makes me feel a lot easier." ”

Harvey glanced at Christie behind him, then at Diana, uncertainly, "I need a specific answer." ”
