Chapter 85: Drama

Terra Calendar 1590.4.19.

Fog Capital Greenwich Observatory.

A dark blue Packard is slowly parked in front of a theater, its dark blue paint glittering in the sun, and its lines are graceful and smooth, extending from the rounded front fenders to the rear of the car, like a graceful curve, which complements the dark blue tones.

"Abraham, where are you going today?"

In the passenger seat, [Hope] asked the blonde young man who was dragging his chin over at the sparsely populated theater gate and turning the steering wheel to bring the car to a slow stop.

"Customize the drama and find someone to play it." Xia Xiu parked the car in the empty parking space, and then replied to Ahabat without hurry.

"I didn't expect you to be really not in a hurry, we've been playing for several days~" [Hope] continued to speak a little absent-mindedly.

It's been almost 10 days since they've eliminated [REDACTED], and in those 10 days, they've literally been playing around.

Of course, in addition to playing, [Hope] also noticed that Xia Xiu had been doing some strange things, such as what he was talking about now.

"So you've been writing for the other day, are you really writing drama?" [Hope] looked at the blonde youth who was unbuckling his seat belt and preparing to get out of the car with a surprised expression.

"Of course, this is a script that I worked so hard to write, and I was going to use this script to do a big, big thing, but for some reason, I plan to write it right now." Xia Xiu raised the thick stack of scripts in his hand and smiled at Ahabat.

"Big, big things, how big?" [Hope] emerald eyes winked at the blonde youth.

What can be described by Abraham in this measure word, then this thing may really be very extraordinary.

"It's half the size of Terra, and I was going to spend five to ten years working on this script in my future plans. But now that the situation has changed, I can only write it out first, although this is a lot less polishing, but this script can solve a lot of unnecessary troubles, and it is not too much loss. Xia Xiu replied casually, and then he glanced deeply at [Hope].

The blonde youth's golden eyes had a luster that [Hope] couldn't see, and those deep eyes seemed to be silently telling something.

"Does this script have anything to do with Agul?" [Hope] also unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car, then got out of the car to follow Xia Xiu, and then continued to ask.

"Well, it can't be said that it doesn't matter at all, if you insist on saying that it has a relationship, then she is the consumable of this script." Xia Xiumo rubbed his chin and thought for a while before replying.

"Consumables?" [Hope] looked at Xia Xiu with a puzzled expression.

"You'll find out then." The blonde youth curled the corners of his mouth and smiled at [Hope] at the familiar Riddler.

After saying these words, Xia Xiu didn't exchange too much with Ahabat about the "script", and he walked straight into the door of the play, leaving behind [hope] that was once again filled with question marks and curiosity.

"What~" [Hope]'s eyebrows were tightly locked, his small nose was slightly wrinkled, his two thin lips were pursed, and his little face was puffed up dissatisfiedly like a meat bun.

However, her dissatisfaction did not last long, and when she noticed that the blonde youth was getting farther and farther away from her, she quickly floated her legs to keep up with the other party.

"Wait for me, why are you running so fast?" [Hope] floated behind Xia Xiu, probed the weird left and right on his back, and then floated around his body to his face and said dissatisfiedly.

Knock –

"You're in a daze there, keep up with yourself, we're going to catch [craving] when this thing is done." Xia Xiu was not used to [hope], he directly hit the other party's smooth and tender forehead, and then signaled to follow him honestly.

"Hiss~, I said don't play my forehead." After the purple-haired girl muttered a few words, she honestly followed behind the other party.

Greenwich Drama Theatre.

Located in the heart of Greenwich, the theatre is a small historic theatre that used to be a cinema and is now a multi-purpose performance venue with a large number of theatrical performances and events each year.

In one of the organizers' offices in the theater, Austin Zackery, who is the head of the White Swan Theater Troupe, is holding a cup of steaming hot coffee, feeling the warmth from the palm of his hand, he lowered his head and slowly took a sip, the freshly brewed coffee has a rich taste, with a faint bitterness and aroma, exuding a refreshing aroma.

Then he felt a warm current coming from his throat, which made him feel a pleasant feeling, as if at this moment, time had also slowed down. He sighed softly, feeling as if he had been transported into a wonderful world by this cup of hot coffee.

"Mr. Austin, what did you think of my proposal?"

A slightly philistine voice called Austin back from his enjoyment, he sighed slowly, put down the porcelain cup in his hand, and looked at the bloated fat man sitting on the sofa directly opposite him, who was in no hurry to show him his collection, and was using the cigar cutter to cut off the film on the top of the cigar, revealing the leaves inside.

Austin's eyes were on the cigar in the fat man's hand, which was about 15 centimeters long and 1.5 centimeters thick, showing a dark brown mellow appearance, its surface was smooth and delicate, with a uniform shine, and above the cigar, the knight's signature black, gold and white pattern was clearly visible, further highlighting its unique identity and quality.

Castro Knights Cigar ·······, this fat man is really rich. Austin muttered to herself.

According to the average price level, 100 central coins can probably provide a person for about 2 weeks of three meals, but now the living expenses of these 2 weeks are only a cigarette in the other party's hand, which can be described as extremely luxurious for Austin, who is a little strapped in life.

Oulu Arakia held the cigar in his hand, feeling its delicate texture, and after gently cutting the tobacco leaves on the top of the cigar, he took out a gold-plated lighter and lit it, and when the tip of the cigar began to smoke, he took a deep breath, and the taste instantly filled his mouth.

The Castro Cavalier cigar is very intense and complex, containing notes of wood, earth, oak and vanilla, and as he puffs in, the aroma of the cigar gradually spreads out and fills the air around it, giving a unique aroma and atmosphere.

Oulu took a few puffs of his cigar, then leaned back in his chair, looked at the plainly dressed Austin in front of him, and said:

"I know that your White Swan Theater Troupe is not having a good time now, and now many small theater troupes are living in poverty like you, and now the audience attendance rate of the small theater troupe is less than 25%, and some are even lower."

Oulu looked at Austin, who was clutching his coffee cup, took another deep puff on his cigar, and said to the other party:

"Now times have changed, and what young people like is those movies and TV series, and things like theater have gone out of the mainstream, well, or it has become mainstream in another sense, and now its artistic value is far greater than its commercial value, but Austin, you have to understand that art that is not popular is often a thing of the past."

Oulu said as he swallowed the cigar in his hand, knowing that the aspiring middle-aged man in front of him looked down on him, thinking that he was too vulgar to understand art, and he had faced this kind of gaze more than once.

In fact, he used to be like these people, holding on to what he had insisted on in the past, until he was run over by the wheels of the times, and then he suddenly understood that no one saw his persistence.

"You said that someone paid a lot of money to buy the entire drama theater, how is this possible?" Austin put down his coffee and pulled the conversation back to the original topic.

Although this kind of thing is rare, it is not impossible, and the other party can charter the drama theater from the Wudu government, proving that he not only has money, but also power. And this mysterious rich man bought this place just so that people could perform the script he wrote. ”

Oluna's slightly bloated fingers tapped his thighs, and he said earnestly to Austin:

"As long as we perform according to the script he gave, we will be able to get an investment of 500,000 yuan, and even after sharing, you will be able to get more than 40,000 yuan."

500,000 ······

Austin looked at Oulu in disbelief, under the affirmative nod of the other party, he slowly lowered his head, his breathing became a little heavy unconsciously, he pressed his somewhat restless heart, and asked Oulu:

"Why me?"

There are many performers in the drama theater who are better than him, he is not an irreplaceable existence, and since he has been in the industry, he has always adhered to one principle: not to act in bad plays.

"I'm also very curious about this matter, after this mysterious rich man took over the drama theater, he also appointed six performers with different painting styles." Oulu replied with an expression that I didn't know.

"Can you tell us about the other five actors?" Austin's eyes flickered, and then he asked.

"The other party didn't ask for secrecy, so it's okay to say it."

Oulu looked at the curious Austin and said slowly:

"The first is the famous comedian: Montgomery; the second is the famous tragic actor: Smedley; The third is a famous action actor: Robert; the fourth is a famous mime actor: Elliot Parker; The fifth is a frequent visitor to horror movies: Elena. ”

Hearing these five names, Austin was stunned, these five can be said to be the top group in their respective circles, it is difficult for him to find the same commonalities as them from himself, well, the fact that they are actors together must not count.

"Has the script arrived?"

Austin asked again. For the 40,000, it was impossible for him not to be moved, but he still resisted the impulse in his heart, and he planned to make a decision after looking at the script in the other party's hand.

"No, the script is still in the hands of the gold master, the script was written by the gold master himself, and we are also waiting for the gold master to send the script over."

"No script yet·····" Austin whispered to herself in disappointment.

Without a script means that he can't make a decision right away, and the temptation of 40,000 yuan will continue to torment him during his free time.

Knock Knock Knock –

"Mr. Arakia, someone is looking for you."

The voice of a female secretary came from outside the door.

"Who?"

"The registration shows that it is a gentleman with the surname Abraham."

Bang Dong –

When he heard the surname Abraham, Austin saw Olu Arakia, who was fat with a ball in front of him, jumping up quickly.

"Hurry up, get that gentleman up."

"Okay—"

Oulu walked back and forth, reaching out his hand and touching the hair on his head as he walked.

Looking at Oulu, who was suddenly excited, Austin knew that the mysterious father of the gold lord was coming.

Soon, he heard the respectful voice of the female secretary outside the door and the creaking of the office door being pushed open.

"Mr. Abraham, Mr. Arachia is here."

"Thank you."

A warm voice came into the office with the sound of footsteps, and Austin, who was sitting on the sofa, adjusted his sitting posture and looked at the figure who walked through the office door.

Unexpectedly, the person who came was a very handsome young man.

It was a handsome young man with blonde hair and golden eyes, wearing a slim black trench coat with a white lining inside, the streamlined design of the trench coat made his figure more upright and shapely, showing his graceful and upright figure, and his fine and silky blonde hair was wearing a black top hat.

His features were upright and delicate, and he had a pair of deep golden eyes, which shone like two shining gems; The eyebrows are slender and natural, slightly raised, outlining a touch of confidence and gentleness; The nose is tall and straight, with smooth lines, and it looks very three-dimensional; His lips were well-defined, slightly upturned, and exuded a warm scent.

"Hello, Mr. Abraham." Oulu came to the blonde young man with an enthusiastic face and stretched out his right hand.

"Hello, Mr. Arakia." The blonde young man had a warm smile on his face, and at the same time reached out and shook Oulu's hand a few times up and down.

"Come, please take a seat here." Oulu enthusiastically pointed to the indoor sofa and motioned for Xia Xiu to sit down first.

"Hmm." The blonde boy nodded, and then he sat down on the couch with Oulu.

And when he sat down, he happened to sit next to Austin, which made the shy regiment commander even more nervous, and he adjusted his sitting posture a little stiffly.
