Chapter 1050 (1/2)
Manhattan, in a theater near Broadway on 43rd Street in midtown.
Tonight's ”this man from the earth” starts at 7:30, Simon arrives 20 minutes early, goes backstage to say hello to the heroine Alexandra Martinis, and then steals to the box on the second floor facing the stage.
This is a hall of about 200 people, of medium scale.
After all, it's the boss. Since Simon is present, he can't help but pay attention to the attendance downstairs. In fact, when he is backstage, the person in charge of the project has already briefed Simon. After a week's performance, the attendance rate of the drama keeps above 90% every day, and it's even more difficult to get one vote on weekends.
Compared with the lion king, although it is also phenomenal, the adaptation of this man from the earth, which is mainly based on dialogue, is not highly ornamental, so the investment in the project is relatively conservative.
After the official opening, the results far exceeded expectations.
As for why, it is not difficult to speculate.
First of all, the original film is well-known enough to be known without much publicity. Secondly, it is probably because the stage play is simple enough, the story is interesting, and the ticket price is much cheaper than those of large stage plays, which attracts enough audiences.
To put it bluntly, similar to movies, ”popcorn” has a wider audience than art movies.
With the success of the project, danielis Entertainment's drama department is considering setting up a second production group and launching a global tour.
Considering these things, near the opening, Simon noticed that four very prominent tall figures in the downstairs hall came in a hurry, saw their faces clearly, and gave a command to the bodyguard behind them.
Jianxin and Robert chilco, who were just acquainted with each other yesterday, spent an afternoon in the street, had dinner together, and arrived at the right time.
Just after sitting down, a man in black came over and said a few words. Originally, she was still a little wary. She thought that she was a chat up person. She looked at the box upstairs and saw someone nodding to them. She got up again with Tao Yuelei, hesitated a little and took Roberta and her two friends with her.
”Simon, I didn't expect you to be here.”
Jian Xin was the first one to enter the box. She cheerfully said hello in Chinese. She saw that the man was sitting on the chair with his legs up. He was a little at a loss. She saw him reach over and welcome him. She sat on his legs along the other side's traction. She also looked shyly at the three people who came later.
Simon put his arms around the slender waist of the tall girl in his arms and felt the fragrance of women coming. He also said in Chinese, ”Xin'er has become beautiful again recently.”
That's not a compliment.
Compared with the three girls who were a little bit out of tune with the United States when they first met, after becoming Simon's lover for a few months, the temperament of the two girls at this time has fundamentally changed, just like two watery hibiscus, elegant and delicate.
Jianxin didn't expect that Simon would use such a kind of intimate address, which was unfamiliar for a long time, because a man's address melted in an instant, but she didn't forget the westerner's conversational habit she was just familiar with. She leaned on the man and said, ”thank you, Simon. Well, you too It's handsome again. ”
Simon smiles and sees that the other three girls come to her side, holding up Jianxin's light body and motioning her to sit on the chair beside her, and then reaches out to pull Tao Yuelei.
Far less generous than Jianxin, Tao Yuelei sat obediently on the man's lap, but her body was slightly stiff. Her small hands were holding the bag in front of her, and her eyes didn't know where to put it.
What's more, he thought that the man would say a few words like greeting Jianxin and put her next to him. Unexpectedly, he turned to talk with Roberta and motioned the two women to sit on two chairs on the other side. This box is in the middle of a table, and there are only two chairs on both sides, so even the bodyguards in the corner behind him can only stand.
It's obvious that she lost her place.
Never Just sit on his lap and watch the whole play?
Simon didn't seem to notice Tao Yuelei's thoughts in his arms. He said hello to Roberta, and he didn't forget Annie selbert, who was sitting on the far left: ”Annie, I remember your name is very long. What do you spell it all for?”
Annilis selbert glanced enviously at Tao Yuelei on the man's lap. Hearing this, she quickly picked up her spirits and said, ”Anneliese Seubert.” the girl said with an unexpected expression, ”Simon, I didn't expect you to remember my name?”
”Of course, I chose every angel myself,” Simon said with a smile. ”And I know you're from Australia.”
”Yes,” annilis thurberts never missed the chance to talk to westrow. ”But I was born in Germany and immigrated to Australia at the age of nine.”
”Oh, then you must speak German.”
”It's still used a lot now,” annilis answered directly in German, and winked at Simon. ”Simon, everyone says you have a great talent for languages. You can speak many languages?”
Simon also changed to German, with a little joke: ”if I know one or two words, even if I can speak one, I can't count the languages I can speak. I'm a genius.””Oh, you are a genius.”
Annilis still replied in German. Seeing the other three girls at a loss, she had a little sense of superiority.
As a Native American girl, Roberta didn't want to lose the initiative. As she was about to speak, the lights in the theater dimmed and the performance was about to start, so she had to stop.
Of course, annilis must also stop.
If he doesn't take the initiative to talk to the man next to him, he should be more serious no matter whether it's true or not. After all, many artists usually don't like people who are absent-minded about his works.
Simon did not continue to chat, looking down at the stage, chin is still gently put on the arms of the girl's small shoulder. Feel Tao Yuelei just put soft body again stiff up, deliberately in her neck kiss, just way: ”don't like me, and xiner sit together.”
How dare you not like it?
Subconsciously, Tao Yuelei is about to open her mouth and feel the power from his arm.
Get up.
Originally, I wanted to squeeze with Jianxin. Although I had to sit on Jianxin's lap, it was easier than being held by him. Just, she just passed by, Jianxin has given her position out, turned to him, and sat down on the man's lap very generously.
Seeing this, Tao Yuelei can only sit on the chair by herself, pretending not to see the intimacy between the two people nearby, and turning her eyes to the stage.
The heart is inexplicable to give birth to a small resentment.
In fact, the box is quite spacious. What's more, in his capacity, is it difficult to add a chair?
And, just now, it's like After praising Xinxin, he turned to the other two girls instead of praising her.
Eccentric!
The stage version of this man from the earth is not much different from the film version, and a small amount of modification is also to adapt to the stage environment. Although he was very familiar with the story, Simon enjoyed watching the 90 minute performance with a beautiful woman in his arms.
However, the subsequent arrangement disappointed the four girls.
It's arranged in advance to spend the night with Alexandra martinis on the stage. Simon doesn't intend to go back. However, when they parted, Simon invited four girls. If they are free tomorrow, they can go to long island. He will have a rest tomorrow.
The four girls agreed to come down.
The weekend, half busy and half fragrant, passed quickly.
It's a new week.
In a waterfront manor in Southampton, I spent a day with my man on the golf course, shooting range and yacht here yesterday. Before attending a cocktail party in the evening, I was taken to a high-end shopping mall for a shopping spree, and then, until after midnight.
When she wakes up in a big bed again, she is still asleep with the other three Miaoman bodies. Tao Yuelei only feels that her adaptability seems to be quite strong.
