Tianjin people will never lose SAN

Chapter 78 Don’t you know me?
"Miss Medea, you are becoming more and more beautiful. When you have time, please come to my winery and have a visit."

"Ms. Medea, I am here with my daughter today. She is a loyal fan of yours. Can you sign an autograph for her?"

"Ms. Medea, I was sitting in the front row center when you performed Madame Butterfly last month and was truly impressed by your performance."

Every time Medea took a step forward, she would stop and greet the celebrities and nobles who stood up.

It was said to be a greeting, but in fact those people were just talking to themselves. Medea just smiled in response and didn't say much.

Millitang didn't dare to stare at Medea for a long time, but she had a bad feeling in her heart. Before coming, she didn't expect that today's dinner would be so grand.

It looked like Ricky wouldn't be able to say a word to her later. How could he create an opportunity to meet her in private?

Liu Yonglu sat here and looked at this hypocritical and artificial scene. It was fine. After all, he was a star and he must be very pretentious.

"Who is this……"

When Medea walked in front of Liu Yonglu, Patrick volunteered to introduce her, but was interrupted by Liu Yonglu waving his hand.

He just stood there, pouting his lips, tilting his head back, nodding at Medea standing in front of him, his chest rising and falling, trying his luck.

What is this called? This is called "happiness, anger, sorrow and joy are all present before words are spoken." This is a trick Liu Yonglu learned from an old storyteller. It emphasizes that the momentum is present before words are spoken.

After a while, Liu Yonglu finally spoke:
"You don't know me? So you don't often go to the opera?"

The tone of these words was both confident and arrogant, with a hint of disdain.

Wow! After saying this, Medea and the young gentleman behind him were all stunned. It was the first time they saw someone dare to speak like this. Especially Medea, when he heard the question "Don't you often go to opera?", his eyes changed a little.

At first, her eyes seemed to be connected with the rest of her facial expressions. Her face was smiling, so her eyes also revealed a kind of politeness that maintained a sense of distance.

But at this moment, those beautiful and charming eyes were filled with incredible shock and anger.

"Who are you?" Medea asked.

"Do you often listen to opera? Drama, do you listen to it?"

"Haha, sir, if Miss Medea doesn't understand drama in the entire city of Saint-Ding, then no one else would dare to say that they do."

At this time, Token behind Medea took over the conversation, wondering where did Patrick bring this person from and why he spoke so aggressively.

"You should go to opera more often, and you must know me!"

Liu Yonglu is still in that state, with a smug face and a stiff neck. If you don't know, you might think Medea is his fan.

"Look! Take a closer look!"

"Oh... you who love drama and musicals can't fail to recognize me!"

Tsk, Medea got closer and looked at him for a long time. Apart from feeling a little funny, she didn’t have any other feeling. She really didn’t know this person.

"Who are you?"

"Yan...Yansen."

"Jansen Mathias? Are you Jansen Mathias?"

This Jansen was the opera emperor of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Liu Yonglu also read about him in a book this morning. If he pretended to be a Moses Sadeh, he would definitely be exposed. He might as well look for him far away, and find someone who was famous.

"Hey, I know you don't know me, so you mistook me for Jansen Mathias."

"I'm not! I'm not Jansen."

If it wasn't for Patrick's sake, Token would have kicked him out on the spot. What's wrong with this guy?

"Do you know this person, Ti Yansen?"

"Know"

"When we were rehearsing, I made coffee for him! It's been so many years."

"We were rehearsing together backstage! Janssen's coffee wasn't brewed well, so I said I would do it, and later I gave him the coffee pot as a gift."

This Janssen Mathias was originally a burlesque performer, and later switched to opera when he became famous. Token now felt that the tone and demeanor of this man's speech were quite interesting, with a sense of stage performance. He might really be a burlesque master from the Netherlands.

"Then who are you?" "Tease! Ned Land, ask around! The boss of the opera singer! Who wouldn't know that?"

"Have you ever heard of teasing you?"

Not only Medea, but even Token had never heard of this name. The Netherlands that Liu Yonglu mentioned was not something he found out on the spur of the moment.

This place is a small country in a remote corner, but its shipping industry is particularly developed, with a fleet of tens of thousands of ships, so this place has gradually gathered people from all over the world.

Liu Yonglu valued this point: it is far away, has a big reputation, has a variety of people, and everything he says can be convincing.

"Dubravko, Dufner, Duonte... just kidding, we are all the same, we studied in the same class."

"Oh, oh, I've heard so much about you."

They had heard of Token and Medea before, but they had no impression of this one "Tease You".

But this man was too imposing, and it seemed as if there was no room for him in the hall just standing in front of the table. At this time, Liu Yonglu waved his hand, as if he was very dissatisfied with the slow treatment of the two men in front of him. He stretched his hand to the side, and Patrick immediately lit a cigar and handed it to him.

Token looked over to the side and saw a little boy sitting on a chair. The boy was dressed in strange clothes and had a handkerchief tied around his face.

Even though his face was half covered, Token could still roughly make out his facial features. They were so iconic, there was nothing to fault with them. He was born to be on stage acting.

Token has already defined these two people in his mind. One is a drama master with temper and some mental problems, and the one next to him is, needless to say, his apprentice.

But what was wrong with this Patrick? Why was he so humble in front of this person for no reason? Did he invite this person to watch the ceremony?

"Mr. Dou, after the dinner, I invite you to the rehearsal room to talk about drama."

"I recently got a fragment of a play, and there are still many things I don't understand. I wonder if you can give me some advice."

Token tilted his head to glance at Medea. She seldom made requests, but if she did, it would definitely be related to drama.

But there was another possibility... Token thought of the fragments of the play "The King in Yellow".

This book is very strange, and is inextricably linked to the Lord of the Deep Space and Star Sea. Perhaps as the ceremony is approaching, the god's desire to spread the will of chaos has increased.

Thinking of this, Token nodded slightly and stopped objecting. After all, it would just be a matter of adding one more fanatic.

"I know a lot of plays, so I'll just briefly explain them. It's up to you how much you can absorb."

What about Liu Yonglu... He pretended to think about it for a while, as if he was very busy, and then he replied bluntly after a while.

The speech he just made was actually something he had prepared long ago.

He saw everything about Medea's attitude towards other people. If you bow and scrape to such a person and flatter him, she won't even look at you.

Often at moments like this, you have to take some risks. Instead of sitting here eating some crappy steak salad and waiting for the party to end, it's better to give her a surprise. If it works, it works. If it doesn't, then just be kicked out and accept it.

Liu Yonglu had used this trick before when he went to the Quyi Troupe for an interview. There were four or five young actors and only one vacancy.

Everybody was waiting on their chairs, and one by one they would go on stage to perform. Several leaders of the folk art troupe were listening from the audience to see who performed well and who didn't.

The first few young actors performed traditional and skilled works such as "Eight Screens", "Eight Major Career Changes" and "Geographical Maps". Liu Yonglu sat on the chair and thought that he was afraid he was no match for them.

They all graduated from the Music School, so their basic skills are impeccable. If I really go up there and do the same, I can end up with a draw at best.

So Liu Yonglu had to change his job temporarily when he went on stage. He directly took the process of today's interview and made a little joke on the spot. He imitated the nervous demeanor of the actors on the stage and the scrutinizing expression of the troupe leader below, and he did it vividly, and even added a little punchline at the end.

That's why he was chosen last.

Medea went to greet other guests. Liu Yonglu sat down and drank all the water on the table. He breathed a sigh of relief. It was a risky move, but it worked!

It will be on the shelves tomorrow. Hey, now looking back at the words I posted every day when I first published the book, it seems like a dream.

Although there was a lot of suffering and anxiety in the middle, I was still very happy overall.

The greatest satisfaction is that so many people read my books.

It’s Tuesday, and everyone may want to play Black Monkey, right? You can try it for me to see if it’s fun, but don’t spoil it. I will wait until the book is finished before playing it.
