[Rebirth] King of Theater

Al was very grateful for Randy's affection, and agreed to that big-budget musical on the spur of the moment.

But when he was lying on the bed at night, he couldn't help but habitually reviewed all these things during the day, and thought carefully: "Randy likes me. It's excellent. But this matter is clearly stated. I just took advantage of living a few years longer than others. If I really regard myself as a genius because of this, I'm afraid that sooner or later I will suffer Waterloo like Napoleon. "

But having said that...

He thought again: "I don't need to belittle myself. Although I can't be called a real genius, I always work harder than others, and I have worked harder than others for several years. In this way, addition, subtraction, Can he be considered an ordinary genius? As for big-budget dramas, since I already have this in mind, it’s nothing more than the difference between doing it early and doing it later. I just think it’s good to prepare in advance, and there’s no need to be so stressed... "

So, let's get down to business.

He started to think about feelings again. At first, he thought of 'Do I like Randy', but after thinking about it, he couldn't help thinking of another thought: "If I don't respond for a long time, Randy will leave me ?"

Thinking that no one will exchange recipes with me, no one will greet me, and no one will comfort and encourage myself every day...

"Well, I'm probably going to feel bad."

Al, who had been invaded into his life unknowingly, admitted honestly and frankly: "I don't know whether I like it or not, but at least I know that I don't want to lose him now."

Then, embarrassingly, he covered his head with the quilt and closed his green eyes again.

On the other end, Wilkins' Cleopatra...

Well, contrary to Al's expectations, it ushered in a rather hot box office.

only……

Around Al, everyone who chooses to watch this drama has different expressions after returning, and mysteriously does not mention this drama.

Usually their conversation goes something like this:

"Let's talk about it? How is that drama? Didn't it keep blowing up the production?"

"A big production is indeed a big production...it's just..."

"God, you'd better say it, don't make a fool of yourself! Just what?"

"Uh...it's hard to say, it's hard to say!"

Seeing this, Al couldn't help but feel a strong curiosity.

He even regretted refusing the free ticket from Wilkins a little bit.

But when he was hesitating whether to spend money to buy a ticket to see it, someone finally sent out a clearer review of the drama.

[When the Roman consul Caesar led the army to pursue Pompey and came to Egypt, Cleopatra (Cleopatra) was busy competing with her younger brother for the right to rule Egypt.So, in order to gain the support of the Roman army, she chose to seduce Caesar. ]

[The specific method, everyone knows, is to ask the servant to wrap herself in a blanket and send it to Caesar's room, and she under the blanket, according to legend, is completely naked! ]

[To our surprise...Wilkins' Cleopatra reproduces this scene perfectly! ]

[When the beautiful actress who plays Cleopatra appears naked on the stage, all the audience in the theater pale with shock, especially the male audience is out of breath. ]

[However, after the fact, Wilkins insisted that the actor was only wearing a flesh-colored leotard, not really naked. ]

[Flesh tights?Well, I pretended to believe it. ]

[All the actresses in this show are dressed in extremely nasty fashion. ]

[But it really deserves to be a big production! ]

[Want to know where its big production is? ]

[Actresses who are willing to accompany the queen and sacrifice themselves for Egypt...there are seventy or eighty of them, it really is a big production! ]

[But maybe Wilkins also knows that there is no way to pass the official review, so he is ingenious, instead of showing the front, he shows the back.Therefore, everyone can rest assured that the front of the actresses' costumes are tightly wrapped.But the backs and waists and hips behind them are all... you know.Therefore, when these actresses are singing and dancing on the stage, the scene can be imagined. ]

[On that day, many audience members gave out the most obscene cheers happily, but countless female audience members chose to leave the venue angrily. ]

[I finally know why Wilkins has been promoting "Cleopatra" for more than two months ^ But it was not until today that this play was on the stage, and the official theater committee probably had a hard time thinking about it. Didn't want this risqué show to actually appear in theaters...how it happened now, I don't know. ]

The drama critic also said very frankly: [The editor-in-chief insisted that I write about this drama, but to be honest, I really don't know what to write.As a normal man, what else can I do in that moment of watching the show besides staring at the girls and standing up to show politeness?I was stupid the whole time!Silly!As for the plot, who knows what plot it has! ]

This drama review...

After Al finished watching, he really didn't know what to say, so he immediately dismissed the idea of ​​buying a ticket to enter the arena.

But what is speechless is...

After such an obviously ironic comment was posted, it actually helped "Cleopatra" attract a wave of new audiences. For a while, the show was actually quite popular.

Wilkins even brazenly claimed that this is a highly innovative masterpiece.

His theory is that everything you see is some form of art, a great way to display feminine beauty.It's like Salome's seven-fold veil dance, dancing and dancing, and taking off layers of gauze (Al: Shit, Salome's seven-fold veil dance represents Inanna's descent to the underworld, showing that she descended from heaven to hell The scene at the time)... If someone looks at this play with vulgar and pornographic eyes, it can only prove that their own taste is low and shameless, and they cannot enjoy the shock and beauty brought by art.

The implication is that those who see pornography are their own thoughts;

And what he wants to show is obviously feminine beauty and artistic beauty.

This operation!

Al was really convinced by this.

I was so convinced that I almost lost any ambition.

He couldn't help thinking: "Is it necessary for me to compete with this shameless guy? Why do I feel ashamed to lose, and even more embarrassed to win?"

Apparently, a lot of people in the theatrical world think like Al.

At this time, everyone has an inexplicable feeling of helplessness when they see shit in the middle of the road...

Ignore it, it's disgusting to put there;

It's reasonable, no matter how well you lay the paper to pick it up, you will inevitably feel sick, and after that, you may also get a bit of a bad smell.

But despite this, out of some rare gimmick, such a so-called big-budget musical with empty content has become so popular.

Even if a bunch of people object, sarcasm and sarcasm...

But this is like a strip club that never lacks audiences. There will always be some people who are willing to go to a show in disguise. Although they are afraid of being recognized by others, it will not look good, but think about so many actresses... Well, let's sneak away happily to watch the show.

"It's really unreasonable." Mr. Curtis was very annoyed by this.

Although this old man has always supported experimental dramas and praised some avant-garde artists who are always innovative, he is actually a lousy drama that uses nudity and dirty plots to attract audiences in the name of art. Abhorred.

If these plots really have so-called artistry, that's all.

However, under the name of "Cleopatra", a group of actresses pretended to be Egyptian women to seduce several consuls in Rome. The concept and plot were all vulgar and shameless.

But Mr. Curtis, like everyone else in the theatrical world, disdains to confront Wilkins openly over such matters.

Therefore, what he did was to complain letter after letter to the official theater committee, protesting against this kind of performance that was taken down as funny.

Finally, after about [-] or [-] performances of this drama, the officials who were almost flooded with complaint letters finally ordered the ban of this drama.

With great fanfare and nearly two months of publicity, a large-scale musical that swept the show season came to an end.

Although Wilkins did not approve of this judgment, he kept appealing upwards, and used art as an excuse...

But I have to say, no one is an idiot.

Almer deleted "My Pig Friend Will", which had just started.

Let's make a friend!

No more friends!

He then re-wrote a short poem in his column:

[In order to stop. ]

[Let that idiot go outside banging and biting! ]

[But……]

[Thought it was a beast. ]

[It was discovered after beating to death that the pig is really amazing. ]

Then there is the daily (unreliable) ingredient introduction: [Everyone, I must avenge the pig today. ]

[Pigs are the king of unclean animals, but without pigs there would be no cooking, without pigs there would be no bacon, without pigs there would be no ham, sausage, and blood sausage. As a word of insult, it should always be used as a word of praise. ]

[For a simple example, when we watched a good-looking drama "Cleopatra", we can praise it like this, it is really a pig-like drama!When we want to lament the amazing artistic expression of the screenwriter, we can also praise that this is really a pig-like Wilkins! ]
