Pokémon Live Room

Chapter 109 Old Way

Xiaohe and the others came to Hollywood at Nanye's invitation, but what appeared in front of them was an incredible picture. x

The once prosperous film and television city is now in ruins. The spacious roads are full of mud and potholes. Both sides of the streets are dirty and old buildings. No one has been repairing them all year round. The peeling walls are all over the place. It was as if all the people in this city had disappeared overnight.

The desolate streets and dilapidated buildings were completely different from the Hollywood people imagined. Not to mention Guisi and Nazi, even Xiao He, who had been prepared for a long time, was shocked.

"Damn it, this is Hollywood. Didn't you say that Hollywood is a prosperous movie capital? Do you think the movie capital looks like this?" Guisi was so shocked that his bar almost dropped.

"Since this is the case here, will it be the Broadway Theater that Mr. Nanye mentioned?" Nazi couldn't help but have an ominous premonition in her heart.

The anxious three people walked along the address given by Director Nanye, and finally saw an ancient rock building at the end of a dilapidated street, with a tall gatehouse and a gate made of fine gold embedded in it. The dim neon lights had long faded. , just like this old city stripped of its prosperity.

"Hello, do you want a ticket for the opera?" A girl in her early ten years looked at the three people walking towards her as if she had seen a lifeline. "This is the latest opera princess romance."

"No, we are not here." Old Guisi was about to refuse but was interrupted by Xiao He.

Xiao He said, "Princess Romance, then give us two tickets."

"Two?" the girl asked in surprise. 35xs

"Does Pokémon also need to buy separate tickets?"

"No, no need, two opera tickets." The happy girl hummed a tune and trotted ahead to lead the way.

"Hey, Xiaohe, weren't we introduced here by Director Nanye? Why do we have to pay for their tickets?" Guisi lowered his voice and whispered.

"Of course it's because something seems to be wrong here." Xiao He said, "You see, there is still a bit of theater like this. We will follow up later to take a look. If the theater is still operating normally, then identify yourself. If If not, just pretend we haven’t been here.”

"Okay, Xiaohe, you are smarter, Nazi, what do you think?"

"Let's see first." Nazi frowned, obviously not satisfied with what she saw so far.

Under the leadership of the girl, Xiao He and the others walked through a weedy but barely clean path to the theater inside.

In the empty theater, most of the hundreds of seats were covered with dust. Only the dim stage lights above the center of the stage were still shining. Even the curtains hanging on the faded stage had faded. I have to say that if this theater No one on Earth would be willing to take a step inside.

"Damn it, this is too bad."

"Guigui, this theater hasn't closed down yet. It's awesome."

"That Director Nanye is trying to trick Nazi into introducing her to a place like this."

"Fortunately, Xiao He is smart and knows how to buy tickets first and come in to pretend to be an audience. If he had come directly, he would have been tricked to death."

Among the complaints, some people also expressed different views:

"Why are you so anxious? You guys have started nagging me before the show even starts. Although the theater environment is important, the key is whether the show is good or not."

"Let's take a look again, maybe their performance is not bad."

Xiaohe clicked on the busy discussion in the live broadcast room and quietly watched the performance in the theater. However, the more they watched, the more disappointed everyone became.

First of all, the service is simple and crude. Most of it is adapted from old props. It doesn't look eye-catching and even smells of poverty.

Secondly, the acting skills are average. Most of the actors are young people, and their performance is as immature as their age. It can barely be considered a drama, but it is definitely not able to make people into the drama.

The last and most important point is that this is a purely human drama. In order to tell the human story well, the Pokémon part was intentionally ignored. At first glance, Xiao He thought it was the earth he returned to. However, it is a pity that this drama Unfortunately, the human part of the human story is not even told well.

Seeing several actors taking their final call and exiting, Xiao He and Guisi subconsciously looked at Na Zi.

"Miss Nazi, what do you think of this performance?"

"No," Nazi's answer was very straightforward. "The props are crude, the plot is cliché, the actors' performances are not good enough, and most importantly, what people want to see is humans and Pokémon on the stage together instead of a group of humans." performance.”

"Sorry to disappoint you, we will continue to work hard, please continue to pay attention to us, we will definitely produce works that satisfy everyone."

"But you are not completely hopeless. At least your attitude has allowed me to see your intentions. Let me introduce you again. I am Nazi. I was recommended by Director Nanye."

"Uncle Nanye" he immediately raised his head when he heard that Nazhi was the girl introduced by Nanye, "Has Uncle Nanye finally figured out how to save the theater?"

"Yes, that's why I'm here." Nazi said this with a domineering attitude that turned the girl in front of her into her crush in minutes.

She had never even seen Nazi's strength and nodded repeatedly, "Yeah, I believe you also believe in Uncle Nanye. Since he thinks you can save the theater, you can definitely do it."

The Broadway Theater, formerly Broadway, was once the most popular opera house in Hollywood. In the era of opera, film and television craze, there were thousands of large-scale performances every day.

But now Xiao He looked at the small team standing in front of him. The total number of actors and support staff was less than ten. These people had to work as venue maintenance personnel during a performance, and they also had to go out to hand out flyers to attract guests. , they also had to help each other put on makeup, not only participated in the performance but also worked behind the scenes. It can be said that they did everything they could.

You must know that today's Hollywood is no longer the prosperous city full of gold because of the bursting of the bubble economy. After taking off the prosperous coat, what is left is only a city riddled with holes.

In order to make a living, the vast majority of people in Hollywood have chosen to leave the city and look for new opportunities to make a living outside. Only these people regard the art of acting as something more important than life and persist in working hard from beginning to end.

It is precisely because of this that Nazi chose to stay even though the normal drama was performed like a farce.

"I feel your love for performances, but if your performances are just like this, no matter how much you work, you will not be able to save this theater, because your performances are already outdated."

"You are talking nonsense. The art of performance is eternal. There is no such thing as being outdated or outdated. I think you don't know how to perform at all. Just like those guys outside who have abandoned Hollywood, you only know how to make money." A young man said angrily.

"Little Village"

"I'm right, Okja. Although we want to revitalize Broadway, we must not let those speculative capitalists get involved. These profit-seeking guys will only choose to join when they make money. Once they lose money, they will run away faster than anyone else. .”

"What about you guys? Can your old-fashioned performances save Broadway? You will only die holding on to your last memories." Xiao He stood up and said for Nazhi, "Your performances are stale. Several years have passed. Still can’t see any changes, this kind of performance has no meaning.”

"That's better than leaving Broadway to you and ruining it."

"It's just that you don't want to admit that others can do things that you can't do. You just think that Broadway would rather be destroyed by yourself than usher in a new life in the hands of others. Rather than saying that you love Broadway and love performances, it's better to say that you love It’s who you are when you’re performing.”

"Xiao He said it well." The door of Broadway suddenly opened, and a short and fat figure appeared at the door.

"Mr. Nanno" Tamako said in surprise.

"Dad" Xiaozhuang looked surprised.
