Goddess Wanhua Mirror

End of this chapter

Hume's "sudden attack" caught Lu De by surprise. Although the two would make some innocuous jokes on weekdays and show off their racing skills to each other, they had never directly smashed the wheels of the car into their faces like they are now. This made Lude, who was a virgin for two lives, a little at a loss for a while.

"Hey, hey! Take some time to play around!"

"Who is playing with you..."

In a very strenuous posture, Hume struggled to get up from Lude's lap.With the help of the weak candlelight in the box, Lude saw that Hume's face was morbidly rosy, his breathing was very rapid, and his forehead was covered with beads of sweat. At first glance, he thought that she had a sudden heart attack.

But Hume himself is the body of a god. Even if his divine power is sealed by the curse of the God of War, he is still unable to use his divine power.Therefore, the appearance of the other party is probably related to the fake that is about to break through.

Fortunately, this state of Hume came suddenly and ended very quickly. After a delay of ten seconds, he returned to normal. Then he gave Lude a fierce look, and said softly and coquettishly.

"You bastard, poke my jaw."

"Uh... sorry!"

Lude smiled embarrassedly. He had some fantasies in his mind just now, but Hume suddenly gave him a "chicken bump". The body was completely out of conditioned reflex, and the brain made a very common male physiological reaction one step ahead. .

It is not so much that he is cheap as it is that he is too "honest".

Hume didn't really want to blame him, so he stared at him twice, and then dismissed this article.

The two pretended that nothing had happened and turned their eyes to the stage outside the window of the box again. They were silent for a while, and Lu De asked without looking away.

"How long have you been in this state?"

"It's been about a month. At first, it was once every ten days, but now it's once every two or three days. The symptoms are much stronger than before."

"Why didn't you tell me when you contacted me before?"

"So what if I talk about it? I can clearly distinguish the priorities. The key to winning or losing this battle is not with me from the beginning. Besides, it's just some minor problems, and there's no need to distract you."

"..."

Hume's indifferent words caused Lude to fall into silence for a while, and he could fully hear that behind these words was Hume's complete trust in Lude, and he really pinned all his hopes on him.

After a brief silence, Hume reached out to extinguish the candle, and then quietly leaned on Lude's shoulder.

After watching an opera, Lu De, who was staying in the box, successfully met several important people and remembered their appearances in his heart.

As for the performance on the stage, Lu De also took a few glances, and could only sum it up with a sentence of "similar in appearance but not in spirit".

The advantage is that Fuhuadao is really exquisite, and a few fighting scenes can even show that the actors really have martial arts skills, but the script copied the story of "Romeo and Juliet", but they cleverly changed the tragedy into a comedy, which led to the original work. The core of the story has been completely erased.

People who haven't read the original work may think it's very good, but after reading it, Lu De shook his head, feeling nondescript.

"Adapting is not random making up, detailing is not nonsense!"

After the performance, Lu De, who had achieved his goal, was about to leave, but when he arrived at the hall, it happened that the leading actors of Feixia Song and Dance Troupe came out to meet the fans.A large group of people whimpered and blocked the hall completely.Lu De looked around, but he didn't see those big figures, presumably there was a "VIP channel" exclusively for them.

In desperation, Lu De and Hume could only retreat to the corner and wait, and observe the people of Feixia Song and Dance Troupe by the way.

Lude has heard a lot from Hume about the various deeds of this song and dance troupe.They are not mobile across the country like the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, but are rooted in Yanmu City. Unless they are invited from other big cities, they will not go out. They are the real first-line celebrities in the literary and art circles.

However, just like this glamorous Yanmu City, the development of Feixia Song and Dance Troupe to its current status is not all due to its performance on stage.

In the center of the crowd, Huadan Katie, the head of the Feixia Song and Dance Troupe, is interacting intimately with her fans.

But Lu De concluded after watching for a while that this woman is definitely an experienced tea art master, and all the people she accepts flowers for are, without exception, young men who are either rich or expensive at first glance. The limited contact that is close to each other, even if she kisses her hand, she will blush shyly for a long time, she seems to be very pure, it is hard to imagine that she has an affair with at least two old men behind her back.

At this time, several people with paper and pens squeezed into the crowd, struggled to come to Katie, and asked her some questions loudly.Seeing this, Lu De thought to himself that there are reporters in Yanmu City.

Since Lude had been active in the relatively backward northern border area of ​​the kingdom before, he only knew that the south side was more developed, but it was not very clear to what extent it was developed.Looking at it now, there are already some shadows of the Renaissance here.

certainly!In fact, there are no periodicals and newspapers in the true sense in Yanwood City. They are all simple and small publications, not as formal as the newspaper jointly founded by Lu De in Oyster Harbor and the Golden Ax Chamber of Commerce.But this is something that is purely local and naturally derived, and it has not been encouraged by the traversers.

These reporters asked Katie a lot of questions, and one of them was obviously here to cause trouble. He directly asked Katie what she thinks of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe, which has been in the limelight recently, and why the two major operas are so similar?

Katie glanced at the reporter, then reached out her hand to lift her big golden curly curls, and said in a very confident tone.

"I don't have any opinion on the song and dance troupe you mentioned. It's just another challenger. Our Feixia Song and Dance Troupe has always relied on its strength to speak, and I believe that the audience will make a fair judgment. As for the similar script you said , I’m sorry, I have never seen the performance of that song and dance troupe, our scripts are all written by the famous writer Sanz, I am not surprised that his works are borrowed by anyone.”

"What about Master Sans himself?"

"He...is not here today."

Since most of the people present were Katie's fans, her answer was echoed by many people. Some young people who were based on expressing themselves in front of the goddess even shouted excitedly, it must be a rainbow song and dance Group plagiarism, they are bound to seek justice for Miss Kitty.

Lude watched the farce with cold eyes, and suddenly felt that the name "Sans" sounded familiar, so he asked Hume in a low voice.

"Hey! Who is Sans she mentioned just now? The one who wrote the script?"

"You should be familiar with this name, right?"

"Familiar?"

"Those little books you stuffed under the bed, one-third of them are the works of this Sanz, aren't you very excited to read them?"

End of this chapter

Facing Hume's teasing with a smirk on his face, Lude coughed twice in embarrassment.However, after her reminder, Lude did remember where he had seen the name Sans before.

It is not difficult to see from Katie's speech that this Sans should be a very famous writer in Yanmu City, but because of this, he can't help but suspect that the "Sens" he saw on some bad things should be the same as this Sanz is just the same name.

But Hume told him clearly that this is the same person, because this Master Sens is a well-known all-around great artist in Yanwood City. He can not only write but also draw. He can write elegant operas and draw vulgar ones The book is an extremely free creator!

Those small books that Lu De only dared to look at secretly are sold in all major bookstores in Yanmu City.

However, such a powerful boss, why do you want to plagiarize?

As the "carrier" of the original work, Lu De knew very well where the scripts he provided to Servis came from.But Wen Chaogong is very cool, but Lu De has never been ashamed to take all these classic masterpieces that are popular on the earth as his own.

Therefore, when Lu De heard Katie's insinuating and insinuating words that Master Sans was the original author and that the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe was plagiarizing, he couldn't help but sneer.

On the other side, after the interview, Katie left the opera house and returned to her residence.The moment the door was closed, the "Stage Sparrow", who had always been smiling like a flower outside, suddenly turned gloomy and cold, as if venting her resentment, and viciously threw her coat on the maid's face.

"This Servis, why didn't she just stay in some backcountry where she danced for country bumpkins, but she dared to come to my place, she really didn't know what to do, I, I must want that bitch to look good!"

Katie gritted her teeth and cursed loudly. The other members of the song and dance troupe who came back with him were all silent. In the end, an actor who performed "Copy Romeo" on the stage stood up and said tremblingly.

"Regiment, regiment leader, calm down."

"Calm down? Okay! Bourne, come here."

Hearing Katie calling himself in a gloomy voice, the actor named Byrne visibly trembled, but he still came to Katie obediently, and prostrated himself on the ground skillfully, allowing Katie to step on it. The back of his head was crushed hard a few times.Bourne, who was in pain, could only endure it, lying on the ground and not daring to move.

Different from the pure and lovely goddess in the eyes of fans outside, the core members of Feixia Song and Dance Troupe all know that under this woman's natural good skin, there is a devil's soul hidden, and they can be described as ruthless and ruthless towards them. If you are unhappy, you will beat and scold wantonly.

Many people couldn't stand it and wanted to quit, but when they joined the group, they were tricked by Katie Lianmeng into signing a contract of sale with very harsh conditions. They wanted to run, and what awaited them would be an extremely terrifying end.

And this female devil has been particularly irritable in the past month, all because of the appearance of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe.

At this time, Katie looked around and asked suddenly.

"Speaking of which, where did Sans go today?"

"Master Sans... he said he had something to go out today."

Bourne, who was stepped on by Katie, replied carefully. He knew what Sans was doing today, but because he knew, he didn't dare to tell the truth when the witch was angry, so he made up a reason, Tried to prevaricate.

If she really wanted to know that Sans was going to see the performance of the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe today, and it was the seventh frankly, he might have a hole in the back of his head today.

In the Feixia Song and Dance Troupe, the great writer Sans is a special existence. Although Katie has been publicizing that Sans is the queen screenwriter of their Feixia Song and Dance Troupe, in fact he and the Song and Dance Troupe are in a cooperative relationship rather than an affiliation relationship. Most of the time, it's not about Katie at all.

Just like their script this time, it was not actually written by Sanz himself as they claimed.Long before the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe arrived in Yanmu City, Katie had already received some news.

She knew that Serves would definitely come to avenge her, so she thought of a pre-emptive strategy, planning to stage a similar play before the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe arrived in Yanmu City, and then use her popularity in Yanmu City to kill the other party. press down.

But Sans refused to do such a tasteless thing, so Katie found a gunman and wrote the copycat script based on "Romeo and Juliet", and then pretended to be Sans' work.

To be honest, Bourne also thought that what Katie did was wrong in this matter, and she shouldn't have copied the script under the guise of Sans' name. Bourne felt very sorry for Sanz.

Later, the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe finally arrived in Yanmu City. Although their performance aroused some criticism, and Katie also mobilized her own contacts to discredit and slander them, the performance of the other party was still appreciated and recognized by some audiences. Including Sanz.

In private, Liburn had heard from Sans more than once that he must meet Shakespeare who could write such wonderful plays.And this willingness has gradually evolved to the point of looking for Shakespeare as an apprentice with the increasing number of times he watches dramas.

The frightened Bourne persuaded the other party again and again, but don't say this in front of Katie, the female devil, otherwise the ghost knows what terrible things she will do.

However, it was not only Sanz who also wanted to see Shakespeare, but also Katie who was stepping on Bourne's head at this time.

This woman has already found out through some channels that Servis's Rainbow Circus is in a place called Pine Town in the north of the Kingdom, and has obtained the script of "Romeo and Juliet". It has been performed all over the North and has been well received.

But this Shakespeare is very mysterious. Serves refuses to disclose any information other than the name, and it is said that she has several other plays in her hands, which are also written by this Shakespeare, but they have not been shown. , obviously wanting to keep it as a trump card, preparing to avenge their Feixia Song and Dance Troupe in Yanmu City.

Katie couldn't tolerate this kind of thing happening. She had paid so much for gaining a foothold in Yanmu City.Even if she knew that Servis was just slapping her face, and with her arrogant personality, she would not want to replace herself in Yanwood City, but Katie didn't want to lose to Servis.

End of this chapter

At this time, at the Tianji Opera House, the performance was delayed for more than half an hour because of the troubles caused by beggars, but because of this, the attendance rate was only about two-thirds, and some of the vacant seats were those beggars. Yes, and some of the scared audience.

Fortunately, the owner of the opera house, Granny Marilyn, is a very shrewd person. Taking advantage of the last few minutes before the show, she quickly counted the number of vacant seats, and then sent someone to take the temporary tickets that were made and ran to the street. Going up to solicit customers, they finally filled up seven or eighty-eight of the vacant seats before the curtain of the stage kicked off, bringing the attendance rate back to more than [-]%.

To be honest, in terms of the usual market conditions in Yanmu City, as long as the attendance rate of the first performance of a new play exceeds [-]%, it can be considered a big hit, and there will be a slight increase later depending on the situation. Then it drops rapidly as the heat recedes.

The venues are full, and they are all super-first-line song and dance troupes. In Yanmu City, only Feixia Song and Dance Troupe can do it, and it is also the largest Tianlai Opera House in the city with more than [-] seats.

The Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe is undoubtedly a strong dark horse. After more than half a month after the first performance, it can still maintain its popularity and maintain a very high attendance rate. Therefore, it is highly valued by the boss of the Tianji Opera House. Schedule their shows at prime time every night.

Although during this period of time, there are always turmoil surrounding the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe and the popular drama "Romeo and Juliet". However, Granny Marilyn did not shake off the pressure at all and blocked most of the attacks for the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe.

On the one hand, it was because Grandma Marilyn herself had a backing, so none of them could gain a foothold and open an opera house in Yanmu City, where good and bad people were mixed.On the other hand, the boss himself is also an actor, and his love for musicals is from the bottom of his heart, and he admires Sevis, who has always been self-improving.

In reciprocation, Servis also revealed to the other party that she had several other high-quality scripts in her hands, making Granny Marilyn believe that they still had a worthless pair of bombs in their hands that they hadn't used.

The word-of-mouth of "Romeo and Juliet" in Yanmu City is currently showing a trend of polarization. People who have seen it are raving about it, but there are also many people who have not seen it. Outsiders stood up to refute the rumors, saying that the Rainbow Song and Dance Troupe had performed this drama in other places more than a year ago, but their voices were too low to cover up those black trolls who organized rumors.

Granny Marilyn, who has worked so hard in Yanmu City for so many years, naturally knows that there must be someone behind this. She can even guess who it is, but the other party's energy is greater, and she can only keep the rainbow on her own three-acre land. The song and dance troupe is not harassed by the outside world, but it is difficult to fight back.

The performance that night was still very successful. A really good opera can make the audience linger and want to savor it again and again, and each time they watch it, they can have a new experience.The audience will stand up and applaud unanimously after the end, which is the greatest affirmation of the actors and the script.

After the performance, the owner, Granny Marilyn, came backstage. As soon as she came, she saw Servis pulling the actors who had just left the stage to make a "closing summary". Make improvements so the next show can be even better.

Granny Marilyn nodded with a smile. She admired Servis's professionalism and always felt that she could see her youthful appearance from her.

At this time, Servis saw Granny Marilyn who was watching not far away, and hurried to greet her.Serves knew that the smooth progress of her performance in Yanwood City was due to the support of the former "No. [-] Actress in Yanwood City", so she was very grateful to her.

"Senior, you are here."

"Just take a look at the backstage, and bring one of your fanatical fans over here. Don't worry, it's not some ulterior motive. Although that guy is an annoying guy, but... at least he's not a bad guy."

"Who is it?"

"Sans, a freak who writes and draws everything. Here! That's the one over there skulking behind the pillar."

Following the direction of Marilyn's finger, Servis saw a man with only half of his head peeking at them behind the stage props not far away.Granny Marilyn beckoned to the other party, and the other party immediately ran towards them ecstatically. The look of jogging happily reminded Serves of a silly dog ​​she once raised.

However, Serves had heard the name Sans before, and the other party could be said to be the most famous playwright in Yanwood City, and he was an all-rounder who was proficient in calligraphy, painting and music.This made Serves think that Sans was an old man like Master Lude, but when she saw the real person, she found that this man was a bit too young. He looked like he was in his early twenties, and his rare blue long hair was messy. Yes, with a pair of expensive crystal glasses on his face, very standard "cultural person" attire.

For this kind of top boss in the industry, Serves naturally did not dare to neglect, but just as she was about to step forward to shake hands with him, Sans who hurried over was accidentally stepped on a hemp rope, and directly "plopped" Kneeling in front of them, Sevis's outstretched hand was suspended in the air, while Granny Marilyn calmly took a puff of her cigarette, then squinted 45 degrees and looked up at the ceiling, trying her best to ignore this embarrassing and extremely embarrassing scene .

"Uh, that...Master Sanz, are you... all right?"

"Hahaha! It's okay, I'm too excited to notice the bottom of my feet. Miss Sevis, I'm your fan! I begged Granny Marilyn seven times before she agreed to bring me to see you, I came to you today to ask for an autograph, and I have an unfeeling request, I hope you can introduce me to meet Master Shakespeare, as long as you agree, I will do whatever you want.”

In front of Serves, Sans, who was too cheerful, made a very difficult request for Serves with a machine-gun-like speed.

In fact, since the show started in Yanwood City, more than one wave of people have come to Servis, wanting to meet the Shakespeare master who wrote the script.Some people are polite, while others are quite blunt, threatening inside and out.

For these visitors, Serves could only evade, saying that Master Shakespeare was in the northern region, but some people did not believe it.

Just when Serves didn't know how to deal with Sans, she suddenly saw not far away, the stage manager in her song and dance troupe led a familiar face to the backstage, it was Lu De, whom she hadn't seen for more than a year. Disciple of Master...!

End of this chapter

Because they are all beautiful and have an overly good figure, Servis has a deep impression of Master Lude's beautiful female apprentices, so even in casual clothes, she still recognizes them at a glance.

"Sister Shanisi? How did she get to Yanwood City?"

Because of her acquaintance, Shanisi easily got into the backstage of the opera house.All the elders of the song and dance troupe who had been to Pine Tree Town had seen Shanisi, and came up to say hello to her in surprise.

The newcomers who were recruited into the troupe and the staff of the opera house were all amazed by Shanisi's beauty, and mistakenly thought she was a new actress.
