Chapter 1050 Warm water boiled frog (repair)(1/2)
Inside a theater near Broadway Avenue, Midtown, Manhattan.
Tonight's "This Man from Earth" starts at 7:30, Simon arrived 20 minutes in advance, went to the backstage to say hello to Alessandra Martinis, the heroine, and then quietly came to the private room opposite the stage on the second floor.
This is a hall of about 200 people, of medium size.
After all, he is the boss. Since he was present, Simon couldn't help but pay attention to the attendance situation downstairs. In fact, when he was in the backstage, the project leader had already briefly introduced to Simon. The performance started for about a week, and the attendance rate of this stage play remains above 90% every day, and it is even hard to get a ticket on weekends.
Compared with "The Lion King", although it is also phenomenal, the adaptation of "This Man from Earth" mainly based on dialogue is not very high in viewing, so the investment in the project is relatively conservative.
The results after the official start of the show were far beyond expectations.
As for why, it is actually not difficult to speculate.
First of all, the original movie is famous enough that it does not require much publicity to be well-known. Secondly, it is probably because this stage play is simple enough and the story is not lacking in fun. Moreover, compared with those large stage plays, the ticket price is much cheaper, which attracted enough audiences.
To put it bluntly, similar to movies, ‘popcorn’ is always more popular than art films.
The project was successful, and the stage drama department of Daenerys Entertainment is already considering forming a second crew and launching a global tour.
Thinking about these things, as the opening approached, Simon noticed that the four conspicuous tall figures of the hall downstairs were coming hurriedly, seeing their appearance clearly, and giving instructions to the bodyguards who were guarding behind them.
The two girls of Jian Xin and Robert Chilco, whom they were just familiar with yesterday, visited the street for an afternoon, had dinner together, and rushed over at the time.
As soon as he sat down, a man in black came over and said a few words. Jian Xin, who was a little alert and thought it was a catcher, glanced at the box upstairs and happened to see someone nodding to them. She stood up again by pulling Tao Yuelei, hesitating a little, and took Roberta and the other two.
"Simon, I really didn't expect you to be here."
Jian Xin was the first to enter the private room and greeted him in Chinese happily. Seeing the man sitting leisurely on the chair with his legs raised up, he was slightly at a loss when he saw him reaching out and meeting him, sitting on his lap with the other party's traction force, and glanced at the three people who came in a little shyly.
Simon hugged the tall girl's slender waist in her arms, felt the oncoming fragrance of the woman, and said in Chinese: "Xin'er has become beautiful again recently."
This is not a compliment.
Compared to the three girls who were a little incompatible with the United States when they first met, after becoming Simon's lover, after several months of nurturing, the temperament of the two girls at this time had undergone a fundamental change, just like two awkward lotus flowers that had faded away, elegant and exquisite.
Jian Xin didn't expect Simon to use such a close name. Some strangeness that she hadn't seen for a long time was instantly melted because a man's name melted instantly, but she did not forget the familiar Western dialogue habits she had just met. She leaned against the man and said, "Thank you, Simon, well, you're... handsome again."
Simon smiled and saw the other three girls walking to her side, lifted up Jian Xin's light body and signaled her to sit on the chair beside her, and then reached out to pull Tao Yuelei over.
Although Tao Yuelei, who was far less generous than Jian Xin, sat obediently on the man's lap, her body was slightly stiff. Her hands grabbed the bag in front of her, and she didn't know where to put her eyes.
Moreover, he thought the man would say a few words to Jian Xin and then sit next to her, but unexpectedly, he turned to chat with Roberta and signaled the two women to sit on two chairs on the other side. The private room was in the center of a table, and there were only two chairs on both sides of the bodyguard in the corner behind him, and even the bodyguards in the corner could only stand.
Obviously she has no place.
I can't... I just sit on his lap like this and watch the full drama, right?
Simon seemed to have not noticed Tao Yuelei's thoughts in his arms, and greeted Roberta, nor did he forget Anelice Thurbert, who was sitting on the far left: "Anne, I remember your name is very long, what is it all?"
Anneliese Seubert glanced at Tao Yuelei on the man's leg with envy in her eyes. He quickly cheered up and said, "Anneliese Seubert," the girl said with an unexpected expression: "Simon, didn't expect you to remember my name?"
"Of course, I chose every angel myself," Simon smiled. "And I know you are from Australia."
"Yes," Anelice Thurbert would not miss the opportunity to chat with Westeros: "But I was actually born in Germany and immigrated to Australia at the age of 9."
"Oh, then you must speak German."
"It's still used it often," Anelice answered directly in German, and blinked at Simon: "Simon, everyone says that you have a great language talent and can speak many languages?"
Simon also changed to German, with a joke: "If I know one or two words, even if I can say one word, I can't count the language I can't say with both hands. I'm considered a genius."
"Ha, you are a genius."
Anellith still answered in German. Seeing the other three girls confused, she couldn't help but feel a little superior.
Roberta, a native American girl, doesn't want to lose her initiative so much. She was about to speak when the lights in the theater dim and the performance was about to begin, so she had to stop.
Of course, Anellith must stop, too.
The work of the man next to him is about to be staged. If he doesn't take the initiative to continue talking, he must be more serious, no matter whether it is true or false. After all, many artists usually don't like people who are absent-minded about his works.
Simon did not continue chatting, and looked at the stage below the stage, his chin gently resting on the girl's small shoulders in his arms. He felt Tao Yuelei's body, which had just softened, became stiff again, and deliberately kissed her neck, and said, "If you don't like me, just sit with Xin'er."
How dare you not like it?
This thought was subconsciously aroused, and Tao Yuelei was about to speak up and argue, but she had already felt the force coming from his arm.
Get up with the flow.
I originally wanted to squeeze with Jian Xin, and although I had to sit on Jian Xin's lap, it was easier than being held by him. However, just as she got over, Jian Xin had already given up her position, turned around and came to him, and sat down on the man's lap generously.
Seeing this, Tao Yuelei could only sit on the chair by herself, pretending not to see the intimacy between the two people next to her, and her eyes turned to the stage.
But a little resentment arose in my heart.
The private room is actually quite spacious, not to mention that with his identity, is it difficult to add a chair?
Moreover, just now, it seemed... that he had praised Xinxin, but he turned to the other two girls without praising her.
eccentric!
The stage play version of "This Man from Earth" is similar to the movie version, and the small amount of modifications are also to adapt to the stage environment. Although I am very familiar with this story, I still hold the beauty in my arms for 90 minutes, and Simon finished watching it with great pleasure.
However, the subsequent arrangement disappointed the four girls.
It was arranged in advance that he spent the night with Alessandra Martinis on the stage, and Simon did not intend to repent. However, when they parted, Simon invited four girls to go to Long Island if they have time tomorrow, and he would rest tomorrow.
All four girls agreed.
The half-running and half-sexy weekend passed quickly.
A new week.
In a sea-line manor in Southampton, I spent a day with my men on the golf course, shooting range and even on a yacht. Before attending a evening cocktail party, I was taken to a high-end shopping mall for a craziest shopping mall, and then, until after the early morning.
Wake up again in a big bed, and there were three other wonderful bodies sleeping beside him. Tao Yuelei only felt that her adaptability seemed to be quite strong.
I don't know if it's self-destruction.
I couldn't help but think that he could get up early when he played so crazy last night. Sure enough, he was him.
In order to avoid the embarrassing jokes like "Blood-making Alliance" like last time, I woke up and planned to quietly wait for the other three girls to get up again. I just dragged it and found that the three of them really didn't plan to get up early, and they planned to stay in bed until noon.
But, there is still work this morning!
Although... she felt that she shouldn't be so lazy.
So I gently and quietly, I only felt a wrinkled women's long skirt covering my body and left the bedroom.
When I came outside, I found two maids who were wiping the frames of the corridor, and were taken to another room to wash. The maids also brought her a full set of clothes and shoes for her to choose from. I quietly flipped over the signs, which were all very luxurious. They were not the ones they had swept before the cocktail party last night. I could not help but be amazed after thinking about it.
In just one day, he spent more than six figures on them.
Or US dollars.
After counting it, my father, who has always been envied by his family’s relatives and friends, earned less than one-tenth of the money he earned in his life.
After washing up in a complicated mood, the waitress brought to the restaurant, and the man also sat at the dining table.
It's past seven o'clock now.
It was already the cold late autumn season. Seeing that he was still wearing only one shirt, I found that the villa was as warm as spring. I didn’t know if it was heating or air conditioning. In short, I didn’t dare to think about it before.
Simon, who was looking through a newspaper while dining, saw the girl coming in and looked up. He saw Tao Yuelei wearing a regular OL-style black Gucci suit. The combination of a black suit and black trousers set off her tall and slender figure just right. He nodded and said, "It's very beautiful, but in fact, you can try Chanel, the color is bolder, and the oriental girl's skeleton is small, which fits Carl's design style."
Finally, I made up for the compliments I owe myself the night before yesterday.
Tao Yuelei couldn't help but think of this, but she didn't know how to speak, mainly because of the words he praised afterwards.
Actually, I don’t think so much.
It was just because Gucci was a brand under Melisandra that he chose this outfit after a little consideration. He also hoped that he could understand some of his little thoughts.
Now... let yourself wear Chanel, isn't it okay for Chanel and Westeros system?
So I inevitably feel some inexplicable grievances.
Of course I dare not show it.
Sitting down at the dining table, just standing on the side of him, a tall girl with a model figure came over and asked her what she wanted to eat. She glanced at the plate opposite him and said, "Prepare her a fruit salad, an oatmeal porridge, yes, add another muffin."
Unexpectedly, he was still so familiar with their recipes. Seeing the tall waitress with a ponytail with a short corner of her mouth was about to leave, she quickly stopped and whispered: "I don't want the muffin."
"Add one, I was so tired yesterday, so add some energy."
So there was no more objection.
I couldn't help but blush. Yesterday...last night... I was really tired.
Simon and other Carmen Cath, who had gradually adapted to his role as an assistant in life, left and said to Tao Yuelei: "You can take a break this morning. I have someone to say hello to Elite."
He nodded obediently again.
Simon did not neglect after saying that, and continued chatting with the girl opposite who had adapted from her heart until breakfast was over.
But it is impossible to stay here with the girls.
Before Simon left in a helicopter, he explained Angry Davis, who was also here. He was very satisfied with Roberta and Anelice. If the two girls were willing, they could be kept in their own harem.
Arriving in Manhattan, Simon transferred directly to Kennedy International Airport and set off for the West Coast.
When the Boeing 767 was launched, Girl A also sent some documents from today.
The first thing I pay attention to is the thing I talked to Timothy Mellon on Saturday.
