Chapter 904: The title doesn't matter

The Jewel Coast Theatre is the largest theatre in the world, and of course there can't be only one theatre in it. According to a variety of gemstones, it is divided into the more luxurious "Diamond Hall", "Ruby Hall", "Sapphire Hall", "Black Pearl Hall" and so on, and on the other hand, with such top gemstones, of course, there are more popular lapis lazuli, amethyst, malachite and so on. It has to be said that the price and rarity of gems are used to divide the high and low of the theater, and the taste of the managers of the Gem Coast Grand Theater can be described as quite lacking in taste.

However, when you are at the top of the industry, no matter how tasteless the system is, it will become a symbol of superiority. In the most gorgeous Diamond Hall, Ruby Hall and other high-end theaters, there are perennial private rooms, which can be quite impressive in the high society of Neosfia.

As a world-class city with the most open culture in the world, where every artist breathes the air of freedom and can imagine to their heart's content, the Repertoire of the Jewel Coast Grand Theatre is naturally diverse. Different theatres also staged different types of plays, from operas to dance dramas to poop-and-fart comedies and farces - and this must be heartily praised, and the Neosfia people have never felt anything wrong with performing a "vulgar" poop-and-fart comedy in such a luxurious theater. The actors like it very much, and the audience also likes this group of well-dressed and dignified big people who can mobilize hundreds of thousands or even millions of gold coins at every turn.

In the case of Lu Xi himself, he actually really wants to enjoy the stage comedy of this world - if he can perform at the Gem Coast Grand Theater, his level will definitely not be bad. And these comedians also take the position of "eternal neutrality" in the capital of the seven seas, often using witty and even cheap performances. While making the audience laugh, he unscrupulously satirized the social and political issues of the world. The Ofa nobles of the Natya Federation. The barbarian military chieftains of Vekia and the hereditary lords of Oakland are the targets of their frequent exploitation. Occasionally, some inhuman cultural customs will be used to make some gimmicks and tell a little joke between cultural conflicts, and even the Sun King, who has received almost perfect political evaluation, has had the experience of lying down several times.

On the whole, although the satirical comedy of the Neosfia troupe has always been regarded by the mainland aristocracy as "the lawlessness of the shameful nouveau riche", objectively speaking, it has basically achieved the level of "literature and Taoism".

It is a pity that the master comedy performances are basically staged in the "Emerald" theater, while the "Ruby" in the bag of Madame Milana is mostly staged in song and dance dramas based on epic legends and heroic stories - in fact. From the perspective of profit and influence, this is the king of theatrical art at present. This is the same as Hollywood's highest-grossing and most influential hero films that sell best around are always ghost fights.

This epic stage play, which is said to depict the life of the most famous pirate king "Goldbeard" Drake 300 years ago, is the biggest production of the year by Neosfia's most famous first-line musical troupe, the Tacarrazka Theatre Company.

In terms of popularity, scale, funding and backstage, this troupe is not as good as the Shanghai Tian Theatre Troupe, and when it comes to classic plays, it is not the opponent of the Rainbow Theatre Troupe, but it is also very famous. The main reason is that its actors are all composed of all kinds of girls. Yes, regardless of whether the characters in the play are male or female, the actors are all women - so there is also a special daylight group in charge of "men" and a moonlight group in charge of "women" in the group. In fact, the company's name, Takarazka, is derived from the native language of a small, remote city-state in the interior of Sosnes. It means "pure maiden". Mr. Faded out of the first head of the troupe, and you thought the pronunciation was pretentious, so you named it the troupe.

This kind of gameplay may seem absurd, but in fact, it has formed a unique feature of this song and dance troupe. Inexplicably received widespread praise. Twenty years ago, when the current Pope visited Neosfia. I also came to see the performance of the Takarazka Theater Troupe and left a high evaluation. Since then. This troupe of all women was out of control, and instantly turned purple and red.

We all know that the art world or show business is actually very chaotic, and the same is true for most of Neosfia's troupes. In the eyes of the real big guys, even those big stars who are regarded as goddesses by ordinary **** are just a high-level plaything at most.

However, this all-female troupe enjoys completely different treatment from other actors. The chaebol of the capital of the seven seas, and even some relatively open mainland aristocratic lords, feel that marrying a girl from the Takarazka troupe is also a very compelling thing. It feels like these girls are not eating on the stage, but as if they are court officials who have received a perfect female education......

Lu Xi himself has a hard time understanding this art form. Anyway, when he saw a tall and toned girl with red lips and white teeth wearing men's clothes, wearing a wig and a fake mustache with five cents props, and deliberately saying pirate-style vulgar lines in a rough voice, he had a feeling of embarrassment.

Fortunately, this thing is a song and dance drama, and it is still quite gorgeous and joyful when singing and dancing, and if those songs ignore the lyrics that I feel ashamed of inexplicably, they are actually very beautiful.

It's good that it's not a drama, otherwise I would have died of embarrassment. Lu Xi thought, and then looked at the reactions of the friends around him, what made him feel very sad was that in addition to himself, five beautiful girls plus a legal Lori and a curly-haired Meng Zhengtai, all of them watched it with special relish. Especially the fat snow leopard, which was already lying on the railing, its eyes as wide as copper bells...... This guy is really a connoisseur. Everyone else is simply enjoying an interesting musical and dance show, but this waste dead house dragon is really appreciating and tasting with professional quality and vision.

Also considered a professional is the self-proclaimed graduate of drama school, who has been staring seriously at the girl who plays the heroine, the Oakland Admiral who has been in love with Goldenbeard Drake for decades, and seems not ready to let go of a single detail of the other party's performance. After a while. She nodded in relief, revealing a certain "My dream has been inherited." My life has no regrets", the kind of relieved and breezy smile, I feel that the next second is about to shatter the void. Seeing this, Lu Xi suddenly shook a spirit.

"The girl...... Do you know? "If you look closely, although the girl is wearing a costume and wearing heavy stage makeup, she is about eighteen or nineteen years old, and she should be one or two years younger than the wind. At such an age, he plays a leading role in the annual production of a first-class theater company, and he is either strong enough to foul backstage, or he is too talented to foul.

However, judging from the other party's awe-inspiring and emotional lines and singing, plus the very well-placed movements and dancing, it should be the latter. The reason why Lu Xi feels that this play is very shameful and embarrassing is determined by the performance form of the stage play. It shouldn't be the actor who bears the blame.

"I'm a junior at the School of Drama." Swift Wind smiled and said, "Didn't I tell you?" Before I started studying magic, I had been taking classes at the drama school, and I also wanted to be an actor, and I also started a theater theory research club in the school. The child on the stage is one of the members of the club and one of the juniors with the best relationship. In fact, when I really made up my mind to give up the promising job of being an actor, I graduated from school at the age of sixteen. The girl was still crying and questioning me. ”

Well, that is, you are in a long period of time. In fact, they all learn magic combat while going to school, and also take advantage of the summer practice to go out to do mercenary tasks to supplement their families and increase their actual combat experience? Tsk,That's how I became the first person of my age -- except for the main character, of courseβ€”and I really can't find any reason to explain it other than Kaihang.

"yes. It was originally good to run tricks together, boil qualifications together, and be unspoken rules together. Take the stage together and be a star together. After winning the movie together, a lifetime is a lifetime. It's not a day or an hour, but now it's gone. ”

"I always feel that you seem to have inserted some particularly hot private goods in the middle......" Hurricane said angrily: "The showbiz is not clean, do you need to say it?" That's why a lot of girls who want to study drama are so fascinated by Tacarrazka, and I was one of them when I was young. The reason why I was willing to follow the teacher at the beginning was that it was enough to see that this child could already gain a foothold on such a big stage and show himself to the fullest. ”

"Yes, the feelings that were born from my childhood dreams are very important." Lu Xi smiled and said: "If you really care so much about this little junior, you can buy the Takarazka Troupe with funds." Then he appeared in front of her as a big boss and told her that her whole life was a lifetime or something......"

"Although this troupe has a short history, it has a lot of assets, and several consortia have invested in it." The wind glanced at Lu Xi lukewarmly, but he didn't object: "If you want to be a member of their boss, you must not only have money, but also status." ”

"Where there is money, there is status, this is the iron law of the capital of the seven seas...... Of course, the premise is that you have to show these plutocrats that you have the strength, the means, and the ferocity to defend your purse. Lu Xi felt that at this time, he must be very villainous in his smile, and in this splendid theater, surrounded by graceful singing, this kind of smile must seem particularly incomprehensible.

"How's it going?"

With the current relationship between the two of them, they can already achieve this level of heart-to-heart.

"It's hard to see a play at the Gem Coast Grand Theatre, can you not talk about work so incomprehensibly?" Tempest expressed the above meaning with his eyes, but said in his mouth: "I have already transferred 500 drow elf scouts from the farm into the city, all of them are scouts who are good at stealth operations and inquiring about news, plus the outer gangs under the organization have all taken action. ”

"With so many manpower brigades entering the city, isn't it too easy to startle the snakes? Won't it alarm the official power of Neosfia? ”

Swift Wind sneered, "Where is there any official power in Neosfia?" The navy was formed by the chaebol with all the money pooled together, not to mention that it could not be ashore. The security of the city has always been the responsibility of the Templars of the Great Sanctuary and the mercenaries of the Second Son. In this city, who of these plutocratic leaders does not have hundreds of thugs and mercenaries under their command in various ways. But as long as three or five chaebols reach an agreement, it is completely possible to let the second son group and the large mercenary group such as Huoyue be dispatched with great combat power. I've only sent 500 drow elves into the city, and the city isn't that bad at digesting it. ”

"500 green-skinned hooligans and street thugs are two different things from 500 Drow elf assassins who are trained in both demonic and martial arts, right?"

"Since we want to do it, let's do it to the extreme, hasn't this always been the purpose of our actions?" The wind shrugged her shoulders, and the elegant Virgin smiled with an inexplicable hint of murder: "The capital of the seven seas is the world of money, even I could only be a careful person before, but I have never been so majestic." ”

…… So, are you trying to prove the objective truth that women are stingy?

"However, you also know that Neosfia is a megacity of more than 20 million people after all, and more than two-thirds of the population are still mobile outsiders, and it is impossible to get much news in only half a day. What is certain at the moment is that the Dalester family should have been sitting behind this for quite some time......"

"Sure enough." Lu Xi sneered: "I also sent a lot of people to follow me today. It's a pity that the protagonist Hong Fu Qitian, who hired a chauffeur at random, is a rare NPC, and inexplicably dumped the other party. Originally, I was thinking of getting some information out. ”

"This enemy is not easy to deal with, and the Dalrest family is the largest slave trader in all of Neosphia and even in the world, and their strength is not small. There are at least tens of thousands of slave catchers around the world alone, and they also control two mercenary groups with a size of 100 people. In addition, he has marriage relations with several chaebols. Hurricane hesitated for a moment, then said, "He and his allies still control the largest smuggling network, and in fact, most of the teacher's debt was his." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Oh yes? I can't imagine that there is such a story behind it? Have you paid off your debts? Lu Xi asked with interest.

"The first thing I paid back since I took over the organization was that guy's money. That family is doing business too bottomlessly, and sooner or later they will be unlucky, and I don't want to get too entangled. Hurricane said lightly, but he didn't hide the disgust in his eyebrows.

Look at you! Look at you! If it were me, I would like to be entangled a little deeper, and then I can play the other party to death with a little tricking, and now that the enemy and us are clearly divided, there is no room for play. That's why I said, Hurricane, you really don't have much imagination in business.

"Of course, on the surface, their family is the biggest entertainment tycoon in Neosfia...... At least a quarter of the theaters on this Jewel Street are owned by Dalest, and besides, you just saw those floating islands made with sea technology on the street, right? The largest and most luxurious one is also their property, the Seven Seas Dragon Palace above, but it is known as the most luxurious casino in the world. Enough to bankrupt the vast majority of wealthy merchants and aristocrats overnight. ”

"Casinos? Well, that's a great place to go. Lu Xi lifted his chin, and his eyes were full of brilliance.

"If you want to have fun, I can show you there, but you'd better have your wallet well." Wind Channel. She didn't go out of her way to remind the other party not to indulge in gambling and so on, for a spell caster who didn't even have this kind of self-control would not be able to achieve what he is today.

Lu Xi was about to say something, but the waitress who had been waiting outside the door cautiously opened the door and entered the house, and then crept behind him. She bent down, lowered her voice and said slowly, "Master, Gray, the president of the Narwhal Chamber of Commerce? Lord Irul is out there begging to see you, you see ......" (To be continued.) )
