Release that Witch Chapter 277: Theater conflict
Longsong Stronghold, theater performance hall.
With the endless whistle and applause of the audience, the curtain slowly dropped. May wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the Irene with excitement and anticipation, and slightly nodded his head.
This definitely made Irene cheer. When the curtain fell, she couldn't help but rushed forward and hugged May.
"Hahaha, can I really do it!"
I'm so annoyed, May rolled her eyes and pushed her away. "It's a little progress and I can stand on the stage independently."
"Ms. May, then ... what about me?" Rosia, another witch player, asked cautiously.
"You're still a long way off," she said without hesitation. "Stiff expressions, slow movements, uninspired lines, two mistakes in Act 2 and one in Act 4, this is It ’s a classic script without memorization. "
"Haha, Miss May is really strict," Gheit said with a stroke of her head, "but the response from the audience seems to be very good. Listen, the applause has not subsided yet."
"Most of these people are civilians who have never been in a theater. Drama is a new thing for them," May bluntly said. "If you perform normally, those mistakes are enough to make noble hiss." paused, "If you want to go down the road of actors, don't settle for a momentary success. Only by constantly improving yourself can you gain a foothold on the stage."
"Yes, thank you for your guidance!" Everyone simultaneously bowed his head.
May sighed, and came again, apparently he could not be considered a drama instructor at all. But she is too lazy to care about such trivial matters, "OK, keep working hard." Witch Diaries "has been running until September, and we have several rounds to play. This is a rare opportunity, don't miss it. /
"Yes!"
May received a notification from Ministry of Education one month ago to let the crew members go to Longsong Stronghold to perform. The so-called all-members are the few miscellaneous actors who followed her to the border, plus Irene.Schilt.
Maybe His Highness the Prince and its agent Petrov reached an agreement. The theater specially cleared a series of slots for the crew to perform the "Witch Diaries" trilogy. As a result, these gangsters who are unfamiliar in acting skills and not even newcomers are on the grand stage of the stronghold theater in such a grand manner. Instead, they are unlikely to be selected even if they are face-to-face supporting actors, but now they appear on the stage as important characters, and they also perform together with themselves as Western Region stars. Impermanence.
Back to the background, May frowned.
I saw a group of people making a noise in the lounge. They seemed to be arguing. When they saw the May party appearing, more than a dozen people surrounded by a woman.
These are all actors in the theater. The leading woman, May, also knows it. It is called Bella Dean. She is a little-known actor and belongs to a different cast. There were some nobles who considered her to be the biggest competitor of Western Region, but in fact, she has never beat the other side firmly in either acting or fame.
"Guess what I saw?" Bella bypassed May and stepped in front of Irene, "a group of lame actors sneaking back from a small place in the countryside."
"What are you talking about?" Irene looked puzzled, while Gheit and Rosia and others looked dumbfounded, taking two steps back.
"Well," Bella covered his mouth. "Look, she doesn't know her identity yet." These words caused a burst of laughter, "Let ’s just say, a big city like Longsong Stronghold is not at all Where should you come, and the stronghold Theater also does not welcome such inferior and vulgar third-class performances. What Witch Diaries is just the struggle of a few bereaved dogs and wailing. Who would be interested in watching this kind of appetizing drama? Back to Border Town is better. "
"You" Irene suddenly blushed, "What is a third-rate performance, haven't you heard the audience's applause?"
"Ha, audience?" Bella sneered dismissively, "You call those who deal with mud, hoe, furnace every day to call the audience? Don't laugh at my big teeth! Just grab a few monkeys and go for a walk, they Would they applaud! If not for free, they would have free money to see your performance? "
"I ..." Irene opened his mouth, but didn't know how to refute it.
"In order to arrange your three performances per week, the theater's income has dropped by several percent. Even we have been affected. As long as it is with your drama, noble will not come at all!" Bella raised his voice "Who would be willing to sit on a chair full of mud and oil? Instead, I wouldn't want to step into a messy theater after a group of hunks orgy."
The other party apparently came to find the difference. May thought that the sudden insertion of the small town crew did crowd out a lot of people's performance opportunities, but the Bella Dean was not affected much. I heard from some acquaintances that after leaving Longsong Stronghold, the theater intentionally turned her into a new Western Region star. Naturally impossible canceled her starring drama.
The purpose of Bella is obvious. She seems to be scolding Irene and others, but she is actually aiming at herself. If these people flinch, she will not be able to play Witch Diaries by herself, and can only return to Border Town in a bleak manner. In this way, she is equivalent to defeating herself in the head-to-head confrontation and incidentally recovering the opportunity for other actors to play. Prestige will inevitably rise to higher levels, thereby establishing the status of a new generation of Western Region stars.
But she never makes herself a stepping stone to others.
"Are you earning a drop in theater revenue? Are you serious?" May turned around, indifferently, "Why did you come to such a naive conclusion because the theater was unable to make ends meet because of the elimination of tickets. The theater operator has undoubtedly already cooperated with His Highness the Prince, The adult Petrov has reached an agreement, and the missing cost will of course be filled by Border Town City Hall. This is a business contract, not a play house, you should really use your brain instead of yelling here by imagination.
"What are you talking about!"
"In addition, it ’s only your group of poorly performing actors who have reduced their income," she smiled, "I once performed at the Abelon Theatre in Kingdom Capital. It was an open-air theater, and the same day happened to get off. It ’s drizzling, but the noble are still full of seats. So you said that they are reluctant to come to watch the show because of civilians? No, they just do n’t like to make a special trip to enjoy a group of monkeys. ”
"..." The scene fell into a weird silence. Not only did no one stand up to blame her, not even the defender.
"Last point, you said that" Witch Diaries "is inferior and vulgar, is the struggle of a bereavement and wailing?" May raised his lips, but his voice was extremely cold, "I may have forgot to tell you that the script of this story was written by His Highness the Prince Yes, do you want to say that Her Highness's ideas are poor and vulgar? Insulting the royal family noble, but sentenced to death, do you still insist on your own opinion? "She looked at the crowd behind Bella," or some of you Want to try it? "
In her eyes, more than a dozen actors stepped back.
"Enough!" Bella gritted his teeth. "Since you went to Border Town, you shouldn't come back again! Do you think I don't know, May! The reason you will go to that broken place is not to see the stupid Irene. But for dawn "
"Pā!"
Her voice stopped abruptly, a bright red palm print appeared on her left cheek, Bella touched her face in disbelief, "You, you dare to hit, hit ..."
Hoo, in the end it's still impulsive, May take a deep breath. As a result, you may encounter some trouble.
Sure enough, the two actors behind Bella came out, "Ms. May, you're doing this a little too much."
"You don't know the appearance of importance for an actor, I think you must at least apologize to her."
Apologize? Isn't that proof that you did it wrong? May sneered at bottom of heart and was impulsive, but she didn't think she needed to apologize at all.
She looked at the two men with a somber face, and could not help thinking of what Carter Lannis had said.
Don't look at the strength of men. They also have many weaknesses. Attacks on eyes and throats will make them instantly lose their resistance, of course ... and between their legs. As long as you are quick and decisive, it is not impossible to knock down men who are much stronger than you.
Although it's not clear how she talked to him about this, she is ready to go out and wait for the two to get closer ...
At this moment, the lounge door was pushed open violently. An Knight wearing an armor walked away from come in. He was followed by several samurai armed with spears. When entering the room, they had The gun pointed at the crowd.
"I heard that someone here scorned Roland, and would like to plot against His Highness's crew?"
May couldn't help it, she blinked, thinking she was seeing an illusion. However, nothing has changed. She also saw the other person's secret smile towards her. The name Knight is Carter Lannis. (To be continued., Your support is my greatest motivation.)
