In front of the Hayden Grand Theatre.

Dressed in a double-breasted robe and top hat, Mr. Hayden stood nervously but respectfully on the special welcome aisle of the theater and waited for his guests.

The so-called special welcome corridor was actually renovated from the side entrance of the theater, but after the renovation, it directly led to the VIP compartments on the upper floor of the theater, rather than the public seats on the ground floor.

Of course, this building is from Solomon, and it is not suitable to change the viewing mode to the mode of dozens of small screening rooms, but it is feasible to open up a VIP passage for the distinguished guests upstairs, so that it can reflect the difference in a certain way, and sometimes it is convenient for some guests who need to have a certain confidentiality requirement for their whereabouts.

Of course, the box on the second floor of this theater has increased the ticket price by another 10%, but those who can afford to watch the VIP box under their wallets will not care about the additional 10%.

Hayden was glad to hear that Solomon had opened up this VIP passage, and a group of people in front of him were walking towards him.

The leader was Solomon, and it seemed that he was just leading the way, and there were old and young people behind him, as well as young girls, but judging from the meticulous etiquette and pace, and the clothes on their bodies, this group of people were all nobles.

After Solomon and Hayden led the group into the box that had been prepared upstairs, Solomon crossed Hayden and made a series of arrangements.

There is no need for Hayden to worry about safety, not to mention that there will be their special personnel outside the box, and this group of people alone is not weak.

Solomon's main order was to serve the group of guests chilled wine and fruit, as well as some dried meat.

When Solomon closed the box door with a smile, Hayden couldn't help it, ignoring the various heads that were sticking out of the other VIP boxes on the same floor.

Although this group of VIPs is low-key, and they take a special welcome road, but their temperament, appearance, style, and special samurai accompany them, the difference from the rich merchants in the general box is still obvious, and the guests in the adjacent boxes have noticed it when they come in.

Whether anyone recognized Hayden didn't know, but Hayden now wanted to know if it was the same as he thought.

"There is Sir Philip, who has just been promoted to earl, and I know his daughter, and another, and another. Hayden's voice was a little excited.

"Yes. Solomon cut him off and admitted his speculation.

"Oh my God, is it really him?" Hayden let out a long breath, slightly excited, "I'll be sure to deliver the wine and dried meat myself when I deliver it later." ”

This group of mysterious VIPs was the one that Solomon suddenly asked Hayden to prepare for on the third day of the Merchant of Free City, asking for the most honorable of guests.

However, at that time, Hayden only knew that Philip, who had just become an earl, would come with his daughter to watch, and he did not know that there was a more noble person.

Philip was fine, he had come to see it before, but he was only a viscount then.

The more honorable man was, of course, Regina, now the Chancellor of the Exchequer of Asturias.

This was simply unexpected for Hayden, and the surprise was indescribable excitement and ecstasy.

Not to mention the Chancellor's significance to businessmen, it is even more special to Hayden.

His theater operation had been driven to a dead end by the other two companies before, and the theater's resident troupe had been poached and disbanded, and then became a dead horse doctor before teaming up with Mr. Solomon and Mr. Obier to turn to the Shadow animation and get a new lease of life.

At the time, this was done because the other two theaters each had a much deeper background than his.

Those two were either appreciated by a powerful nobleman, or simply had a nobleman directly involved in the operation, as in the case of Tugenhaben's Barlov Theater, whose owner Baroff was the Viscount of Modo.

Hayden was just a merchant, and a merchant had no way to fight the nobles in terms of power.

Even after switching to the Shadow animation to solve the crisis, Hayden's life was not easy.

In San Quentin, although the Shadow animation as a new thing has been praised by people for a certain extent, in the aristocratic circle, it has always been given a negative evaluation, although the nobles will also come to watch it with great interest, but in their words, this is a criticism.

So although Hayden was relieved of the crisis in terms of business, he was described in reputation as a person who sacrificed his reputation for money.

This qiē is of course fueled by two other theaters, both of which have the support of powerful aristocrats behind them, and Hayden cannot be compared, he has no one to speak for him in the circle of power.

In this world, the aristocracy has much more power to speak and govern than the merchants.

But now Solomon was able to get Philip and the more honorable Marquis of Regina to come and watch the Shadow animation!

This can't make Hayden not excited, they also came to watch the movie, which means that these two also have a certain interest in the Shadow animation, whether it is for Solomon's sake or not.

This was enough to change St. Quentin's opinion of the Shadow animation, and the other two theaters would have to worry about discrediting it in the future, and it should not be called something that even Lord Regina came to admire, something that was so evil that it led people to sin.

Hayden rubbed his hands, he didn't know how much influence Solomon had on Regina, but he told Sù that he should not give fruit and wine to the waiter for a while, but to deliver it himself.

To give Sir Regina a good impression, it would be better if he could get a compliment from him, and if he could "accidentally" let everyone know that Sir Reginer had come to the Hayden Theatre.

Well, it's everyone, and as for the two rival theaters, Hayden is not worried.

Because all along, those two families have never let go of paying attention to Hayden's movements, especially after he used the shadow animation to bring the dead back to life, the three of them almost hired someone to record the number of viewers of each show shown by the other party at the same time.

Three days ago, it should be said that the three were still indistinguishable from each other, and some of the films of Shadow Animation would compete with the other two theaters, but they never received good praise, and the upper echelons of San Quentin either didn't care about it at all, or there was a voice or criticism.

Of course, this is all because of the supporters behind the two theaters, compared to Hayden, who has no background, as long as the nobles behind the two theaters speak ill things in the circle, other low-status followers must abound, and the businessmen with lower status will only curry favor with the nobles, how can they go against the tune and offend people in this kind of entertainment problem.

There are some exceptions, however, to the merchant of the Free City, and as Solomon reckoned, the film will be a bit of a restraint for critics at Sant'Quentin.

Because this film abandons the previous style of the Shadow animation, the previous criticism revolved around what was too flashy, but the content was empty, and even praised the orcs, which is an accusation of treason or something.

The businessmen of the Free City are uncharacteristically only simple exterior scenes, so simple that there are only a few scenes, either in the house or in the law**.

Yiqiē returned to the plot and content, and several actors were also very attentive and performed the script vividly, especially Catherine, who played the heroine.

This makes it difficult for critics to find fault with morality, and the usury merchants in the play are also hated by the aristocracy, so the aristocratic circle who wanted to criticize before could not find an outlet for a while, but there were other small nobles who had suffered from usury merchants and couldn't help but praise this film this time.

This makes this film rare in terms of the number of viewers not lagging behind the other two theaters deliberately put on a play against the stage, and it also gets a positive voice that has never been heard before.

Maybe the two families are trying their best to make a move, but once the news that Sir Reginer is also coming to watch the movie spreads, the two families must have no choice but to stop.

While Mr. Hayden was in the mood for a beating, Solomon reappeared, this time with Mr. Obier, Richie, and the male and female lead actors in Regina and Philip's box.

Mr. Hayden didn't think much about it, but hurriedly snatched the tray from the waiter's hand, and entered the box under the pretext of delivering fruit, wine, and dried meat.

"This is Mr. Hayden, the businessman who runs the theater, and my collaborator with Mr. Obier. Solomon introduced Philip and Regina.

Hearing Solomon's introduction, Reginardo glanced at Hayden.

Hayden hurriedly squeezed out a smile with all his strength, nodded and put the tray in front of the two.

"It's a great honour to have two knights here. ”

Philip smiled back, he had seen it with his daughter before, and he had become a fan of Catherine. However, at that time, he was still a viscount, and his status was not as good as that of the supporters behind the two theaters.

But now it's different, in terms of identity, he is now an earl, and behind those two families is a viscount and the other is an earl, not higher than him.

Solomon did invite them to watch the movie this time, because Philip was originally a fan of Catherine, and it was impossible for Solomon to say that he did not have the slightest idea of using his power to deter Mr. Hayden's other two rivals.

However, it is difficult to say how much of a role it can play, because behind one of the two families is an old earl, and although the other is a viscount, there is a middle noble family behind the viscount, and there is not only one viscount in the family, and the one who can support a medium family, the highest title in the family should be at least an earl.

But Regina's arrival was an unexpected surprise, although Solomon also politely invited Regina, in fact, he sent as many tickets as possible to those who had some relationship with him for the screening of the merchants of the Free City in St. Quentin, which was specially requested from Mr. Hayden, for which Mr. Hayden was also taken aback by him, because there were not many of them, but fortunately they were scattered in various shows.

In fact, this is also a test of Solomon's connections more than a month after he came to St. Quentin, and only the Goering ** master did not come, even Regina came, and Solomon thought that Regina would not come at all.

The merchants of the Commodity Exchange are here, and the Drama Club of the Academy of Magic is here, and Luna is here.

And Solomon's roommate Max also came, and when Solomon also invited him, he was very surprised and excited when he learned that Solomon was one of the creators of the Shadow Animation that he had always admired, and it seemed that he had something to say to Solomon, but he didn't find the opportunity for the time being.

"There's a magic circle in the theatre, isn't it?" asked Sir Reginer to Mr. Hayden.

"Yes, yes. Mr. Hayden hurriedly replied that in addition to the projector, the projection of the Shadow Animation also needs to build a sound amplification magic array, but this kind of magic array is almost the simplest magic array, and its function is only to amplify the voice of the speaker.

Mr. Hayden was originally set up with the help of a magician from the Free City side, and Solomon hired a mage under Chris's command to come and help with the renovation of the theater to build several amplified magic arrays, one of which was in each box, which made the audience feel like they were in the real scene.

"Very well, I'll probably borrow it after the film is shown in a while. It was easy for Regina, who was at the level of a ** division, to "borrow" the amplification magic array in the theater, but out of politeness, he still explained it to Hayden in advance.

"Absolutely, it's a great honor. Hayden replied, though he didn't know what Reginer was going to do.

Even Solomon and Philip were puzzled, but Regina looked calm, and it was inconvenient for them to ask more.

Philip waved his hand and motioned for Mr. Hayden to withdraw, leaving only Solomon and the others in the box.
