Jiang Yan no longer understood the story so carefully, but it didn't seem to have a very major turning point: the brave man who transformed into the god of revenge established a new era of corruption, which was a very mediocre ending, but after wearing the
The interpretation of "him" in the mask has an attraction beyond common sense. Of course, this is also good for Jiang Yan:
He needed to use all his strength to suppress Hong's abnormal behavior and himself. Fortunately, the other audience's attention was all on the stage, and no one noticed the strange behavior of the two people until the curtain closed. The applause lasted for a long time, and the sound was restless.
Jiang Yan, who was almost driven crazy and nervous again, fortunately, it's all over.
The manager came on stage again, and the successful performance made the happy expression on his face even more so. "Thank you, thank you! Thank you to the master and the members of the troupe for the wonderful performance, and thank you to all the audiences present for supporting the Silent Night Theater! It's really great.
A shocking performance, unprecedented! Please return to your seats, Master Jekyll is going to..."
At this moment, a man in work clothes suddenly walked up from the backstage quickly. The surprise that flashed across the manager's face did not escape Jiang Yan's eyes. This man said a few words in Manager White's ear.
, obviously some emergencies occurred.
"... I'm very sorry, dear friends. The master was originally going to express some thoughts about the new play after the premiere, but unfortunately the master is already old. Such a wonderful premiere seems to have exhausted his physical strength and it is difficult to perform."
There were a lot of complaints from the audience, but White has been through a lot of storms, and his ability to adapt to situations is naturally extraordinary. "The master apologized and said that he would give away signed copies of the first batch of autobiographies to everyone present, People
Everyone has a share! Five more viewers will get the precious opportunity to meet the master later today! The five randomly selected viewers will receive text messages to the mobile phone numbers and email addresses reserved when purchasing tickets, and they can be found with their tickets at that time
Access to the preparation area is from the front desk of the theater.”
“Thank you for your understanding and support!”
As soon as such a speech came out, the trend in the venue changed in an instant - after all, for most people who were just watching the excitement, being able to get commemorative items for free is much more practical than listening to a speech. Secondly, for those who are really interested in
For the reporter, this souvenir can be regarded as unsatisfactory compensation. What's more, some have already begun to discuss which lucky ones will get the opportunity to meet the chief executive of the troupe.
You can participate with a ticket, and the subtext is: this opportunity can be traded.
"Can I meet the chief of the troupe? It always feels like an unimaginable good thing, Mr. Jiang Shao..." Mary said. When she turned to Jiang Shao, she noticed the strange behavior of Jiang Shao and Hong. "Uh, Miss Hong.
yes--"
"She was a little scared." Jiang Yan forced out a smile, "After all, there are still some very impactful scenes, right? She is quite childish sometimes, so it's not surprising that she was scared like this - let
You are laughing."
Mary's lips and the pair of horse ears moved slightly. Obviously, Jiang Yan's explanation could not explain the current embarrassment. Jiang Yan knew that the former burger shop waiter did not believe the nonsense just now, and just as he was racking his brains to prepare
When it came to his next words, Mary didn't ask as much as he imagined.
The cell phone buzzer rang at an inappropriate time - it was Mary's cell phone.
"Ah! I didn't mute the sound? I made a mistake. Fortunately, I didn't receive any messages during the performance, otherwise I would have been really embarrassed." Mary took out her mobile phone from her handbag in a panic, "B29..."
Mary stared at the phone for a while, rolled her eyes, smiled and said to Jiang Shao:
"Congratulations!"
"...What congratulations?"
"Mr. Jiang Yan, your seat number has been selected. There are only five opportunities to meet the chief, and now you have one of them!"
Jiang Yan's eyes twitched when he heard this, and his heart skipped a beat as his brain buzzed.
The staff who had replaced the manager on the stage informed the audience, "Thank you for waiting patiently. Our staff is now ready. Please leave the venue and go to the lobby to collect the gifts! Everyone can receive them with their tickets.
Please keep order."
The audience in the venue stood up and walked out. Although everyone had a role to play, there were still many people who moved in a hurry. Among the crowded crowd, the three people sitting motionless were extremely conspicuous, and some of them looked at the three people because they could not pass.
It was shocking, but neither Jiang Shao nor Mary were moved: she still looked at Jiang Shao with that smile, as if she was asking you about the content of your order.
"But, Mary, wasn't I sitting in your seat?" Jiang Yan finally recovered from his daze, "You should be the one to go."
——The position where Jiang Yan is sitting has been adjusted. Originally, he and Hong should be sitting on both sides and Mary should be sitting in the middle. "It seems that there is such a thing, but in the end it is you who is sitting in this position, isn't it?
"?" Mary's expression remained unchanged, and for the first time she showed the cunning characteristic of a little girl in front of Jiang Yan. "So you should be the one to go."
"No, no, they even sent the text messages directly to you. I can't be so shameless." Jiang Yan hugged the trembling Hong in his arms, which was actually more of an escape than a shirk. "And you're not.
Do you aspire to become a traveler around the world? Meeting a world-famous drama master is a rare opportunity, and it will be more suitable to be included in your travel diary in the future!"
Mary nodded slightly, "Indeed, as part of enjoying the trip, I shouldn't give up such an opportunity. To be honest, I am not rich now, but if I get this opportunity, I will never choose to
The ticket is sold, even though it may be worth three or four months of my salary: because it is a part of my trip.”
"Then seize this opportunity." Jiang Yan said, "Don't waste it on someone like me who doesn't like drama at all."
There was no confusion in Mary's eyes:
"But you want to go, don't you? Although you are not a star chaser, you have something very important to confirm with that person. And if you fail to seize this opportunity, this scene will continue to torture you from tonight onwards——
I can see it in your eyes."
Jiang Yan opened his mouth and wanted to continue to refute, but he couldn't come up with any effective words. He stopped there without any further words.
"...You know, Casimir's modernization is actually not that widespread."
Jiang Yan listened to Mary talking to herself about her hometown. "The high-level development of technology and commercialization is actually a matter of one or two generations. My parents still have a lot of beautiful memories of running in the wilderness. Even I have them.
Memories like that: in some remote areas of Casimir, farms and grasslands still exist, but they have just faded out of sight.”
"I grew up in a not-so-central city, and I didn't live a very wealthy life. But I was luckier than others in that my parents had the time and leisure to take me to my grandpa's farm to spend weekends and holidays. I had a lot of fun.
Chasing the herds and the sun in the wilderness, sleeping in the haystack when tired - this is the happiest thing in my heart, and I have always thought that I am a pure farm girl."
"But every time the sun sets before I catch up with it, I still don't know where it sets. Slowly, I begin to wonder about another question: Where is the end of this land?"
Mary smiled sheepishly, "I'm not a traveler at all, let alone an explorer - I know that sunrise and sunset are just normal phenomena, and I also know that the world map has been completely drawn, but
I just want to see the end of the earth, even if it probably doesn't exist, but I just want to experience the feeling of reaching there with both feet. Is it happiness, satisfaction, or just exhaustion or disappointment? I don't know.
"
"I was also afraid that what I longed for was not as beautiful as I imagined. When I realized that even if I got there, there might be nothing but emptiness, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep. I stood in front of the mirror and said to it:"
"In this case, it's better not to go."
Mary looked into Jiang Yan's eyes, "Then I saw my own expression: exactly the same as yours now."
"So I know that no matter what he means to you, seeing him and standing in front of him must be very important to you. It is so important that if you don't do it, you will no longer be able to deceive one day in the future.
My own situation." Mary took out the ticket from her wallet and handed it to Jiang Yan.
“A rare trip opportunity and an important friend—how to choose between the two, I think I’m pretty sure.”
Jiang Yan looked at the ticket, was silent for two minutes, then stretched out his hand to hold it. "Thank you."
Mary waved her hand generously, "You're welcome. But as old friends who met by chance in a foreign land, we don't even have contact information. Isn't it inappropriate?"
"It's indeed a bit inappropriate." Jiang Yan finally smiled from the bottom of his heart. "My personal number is this. If you don't contact me one day or you can't call where you are, the messenger will help transfer it to Heigang Station at Longmen.
The office is fine, I can get it."
"I know." After Mary and Jiang Shao exchanged phone numbers, they still didn't move. She couldn't help but worry: "Is she really okay? Does she need to go to the hospital or..."
Jiang Yan rubbed Hong's head, which was huddled in the hat, and the little wolf cub's claws on the clothes on his chest tightened. "It's okay, this little crybaby was just frightened. She will get better."
Jiang Yan swept away the haze on his face and said solemnly to Mary:
"Thank you, Mary - I may have forgotten some of the courage I should have remembered, but I'm fine now."
"I just wanted to ask by the way, what would you do if the place you went to during your trip was not as good as you imagined?"
Mary blinked, "I will tell myself, 'I didn't come here to give up on my dreams, I came here to realize them,' and then continue my journey here."
"...very good advice."
Jiang Yan stood up. At this moment, the audience in the venue had almost dispersed, and it was time to leave. Hanging on his chest, Hong made a cry-like plea:
"Jiang Yan, don't go..."
Uncharacteristically, Jiang Yan did not rub this old friend's head, but patted her back. "Trust me, Hong."
"I'm not doing these things to end things with him, but to put an end to all this, so I won't be impulsive and nothing will happen - but I have to do it."
"You are not a child anymore, you know what I am talking about."
Hong's whole body tensed up, and it was obvious that he was going through a struggle in his mind.
"Jiang Yan, don't you lie to Hong?"
"I won't lie to you." Jiang Yan smiled very calmly, "As always."
