"Master, Eged has promised to work for you. He is currently reciting the manuscript you gave him. Once he has memorized it, I will bring him over to see you!" Pascal reported to Tang Ning respectfully.
"Well, you did a good job in this matter. This is a reward for you!" After saying that, Tang Ning threw him a small wad of money.
Then he asked again: "Can you help me find another female black slave like this, but this time my requirements are higher!"
At this moment, he is holding the reward he just got in his hand, so Pascal's nature is particularly high: "No problem, master, tell me, I promise to help you find it!"
Tangning waved her hands and said, "Don't rush to make a promise. You need to listen to my request first and then talk. First of all, the female black slave must be thin and small, and she will look very pitiful at first glance. Then she must be able to perform, such as
When narrating your own tragic past, you should cry and have that feeling of being very distressed; thirdly, it is best to be more beautiful, so that the feeling of pity and distress will appear more naturally..."
Before Tangning could finish speaking, Pascal shook his head and replied: "Master, there is no way there is such a person. That kind of thin and weak female black slave will die of illness on the ship to New Orleans, unless she is specially prepared to give birth to a slave girl."
Big customers like the master buy maid-type black female slaves, but the Underground Railroad has no chance of contacting such female slaves, let alone abducting them.”
Tangning thought for a while and felt that what Pascal said was right. With the way people were crowded on slave ships, if they were in bad shape, they really wouldn't be able to withstand it. But in her plan, she still needs such a pitiful Chuchu. I
Why don't we look for the pitiable female black slave in the harems of various slave owners? But in that case, firstly, she can't deceive the black slaves who are on the same plantation with her, and secondly, she has never worked in a factory.
The acting effect will definitely not be good, after all, they are not real actors.
Tangning struggled with this question for a long time, until during lunch, Caroline cautiously suggested to him: "Master, can you take us to Broadway tonight?"
Hearing the words "Broadway", an idea suddenly flashed in Tangning's mind. Yes, since I can't find a suitable candidate among real black slaves, then I might as well just hire a fake black slave.
?I can’t find anyone who can act, so why don’t I just hire an actor? I don’t believe there isn’t even a black actor on such a big Broadway!
And it was only then that he was surprised to discover that the name Broadway, which sounded like a wealthy and wealthy person, was actually the transliteration of "BROADWAY"...
Tangning was naturally very happy after thinking of a solution to the problem, so she happily said to Caroline, "No problem, I'll take you there tonight, but now I have to go out for a while!"
Although the North and the South were in opposition at the time, it did not mean that there was no personal friendship between the two parties. For example, Frick had an old friend in New York. Before Tangning came, he had told him that if there were any problems that were difficult to solve, he could go to him for help.
So Tangning immediately went to visit Mr. Bradley. When she saw the handwritten letter written by Frick to Tangning, Bradley asked Tangning very politely: "Mr. Tangning, what do I have?"
Can I help you?"
"Mr. Bradley, do you have any friends on Broadway?" Tangning asked.
Bradley thought for a moment and then replied: "Well, I do have a few friends. Why do you want to invest in building a theater?"
Tangning waved her hands and said, "I know nothing about drama, so I don't dare to invest in this area casually. I want to hire a Broadway actor, but I don't understand the rules in this area, so I want to ask for your help!"
"Oh, then which actor do you want to hire?" Bradley asked curiously.
"I don't have a goal yet. I just want to find an actor who meets my requirements." Tangning then stated her requirements.
Hearing this, Bradley finally understood: "Oh, I understand, you want to hire a black actress to help you act, right?"
Tangning nodded and replied, "Yes, that's what I mean. There should be black actresses on Broadway, right?"
"It should be possible, but it's hard to say whether I would like to help you act in this kind of play! In this case, I will ask someone to help you ask, where do you live now?" Bradley answered with some embarrassment.
road.
"Then please leave it to Mr. Bradley. I'm staying at XX Hotel now. When there is any news, just send someone to inform me. Also, please rest assured that as long as there is a suitable candidate, I will definitely tell you the price."
To your satisfaction!" After saying that, Tang Ning said goodbye and left.
What he didn't expect was that Mr. Bradley worked very quickly. Within two hours, he sent someone to inform him that he had found a suitable actress and said that the actress would be there tonight.
She played a role in "The Silver King" at the XX Theater, so she asked him to come over and have a look at her performance and image to see if it met his requirements.
So Tangning took Caroline and Isabel to Broadway that night.
Walking on Sixth Avenue in Manhattan, Tangning secretly sighed in her heart, it is inconvenient these days without electric lights. If this place could be turned into a brightly lit night scene, how beautiful it would be. Fortunately, the most important purpose of her visit to New York this time was
Just to bring light to all mankind!
Seeing Tangning's strange look, Caroline asked curiously, "Boss, what are you thinking about?"
"Oh, I'm thinking about how to make Broadway more beautiful!" Tangning replied casually.
"Boss, have you been to Broadway before?"
Tangning shook her head and replied, "I've been to Bainaohui many times, but this is really my first time on Broadway!"
"Where is Bainaohui?"
"Don't ask me about this. Anyway, it's a very magical place!" Tangning said casually.
PS: In fact, Broadway's business model is a commercial performance for the purpose of profit. If the show is popular with the audience, then it will be added; if the audience doesn't like it, then it will be replaced immediately. Therefore, the vast majority of Broadway plays are
