Chapter 85

"Miss Isaiah! I should have said more than once that this is not a drama! This is "phantom". Do you know what "phantom" is? First put away your pompous expression, and then imagine that you are a princess of noble birth, but you are sold as a slave because of your father's betrayal. Your arrogance does not allow you to bow down in front of others. You have the enthusiasm and courage that ordinary girls would not have. You have the courage to express your feelings. You are such a person! Instead of acting like that Under the theater stage, Harvey stood up, frowning and yelling.

On stage, Christie gave Harvey a reluctant smile, bit his lips and said slowly, "please let me try again, Mr. Adrian."

If she had an egg in her hand, she wouldn't mind throwing it on Harvey's disgusting face.

In the face of Harvey's rebuke, she felt angry. Why is a famous drama actor being told by an outsider now, or in front of all the members of the drama company. Now on the stage of the theater, except for her, all the other members of the theater are pulled by Max weir to complete a test that they didn't understand very well for a day.

She pressed her displeasure, picked up her face and started a new round of performance in front of Harvey.

Now they are auditioning for actors on the stage of the theater. Next to Harvey, there is Maxwell, the owner of the theater. As a senior actor, he is afraid to speak out. He looks at Harvey with a wry smile and labels his proud members as worthless.

The day after Harvey gave him the script, he called all the members of the company for an audition. So far, no member has been qualified in Harvey's eyes.

A new round of audition performance begins. However, after Harvey's reprimand, Christie's performance becomes more rigid, her face changes unnaturally, and her lines become weak.

Harvey had a headache and felt that Christie and her parents had not yet understood the difference between "phantom" and drama, and they needed to guide themselves. Bowing to Maxwell, he left with a few people and quickly got back some performance props, including a reclining chair, a long cigarette and a copy of count of Monte Cristo. Haide appeared late in the novel and had no suitable performance scene for the time being, so she chose a more suitable audition plot in the novel.

Harvey stepped onto the stage and gave her the count of Monte Cristo: "you can finish your performance while reading the novel. Now I will play the role of count of Monte Cristo to cooperate with your performance."

"I'm honored."

Christie was stunned and looked at Harvey with a smile instead of a joke. A layman wanted to cooperate with her performance? This is hard for Christie, who has always been a drama star, to accept. She has been exposed to drama since she was a child. It can be said that drama is her career. Her acting time is almost equal to her age. When she was a baby, she had already played the role of baby in drama. How can Harvey cooperate with her performance?

She doesn't mind embarrassing the young writer, at least to let him know that the performance is not so simple and it's not for the layman to direct.

Raising her hand to signal the beginning of the performance, another member of the troupe plays Haide's maid. Harvey goes up and asks, "go and ask your hostess if she would like to see me."

In the count of Monte Cristo, Haide is nominally the maid of the count of Monte Cristo. In fact, the count of Monte Cristo gives her the same treatment as the queen. As a slave, she has her own four maids. The maid goes to ask Christie's Haide for advice. She sits on the reclining chair, lazy and elegant.

Seeing that Harvey came in, Christie, smoking a long cigarette and reading a book, said in a bright and lazy voice the lines that she remembered: "my master, why do you ask before you come in? Are you not my master, and I am not your slave? "

Harvey came forward with a helpless smile: "Haidai, you know that."

Christie took a deep look at him, and Harvey's figure gradually coincided with the figure of the count of Monte Cristo in the novel. Although he was a newcomer, Harvey did not look shy in front of others. With Harvey's cooperation, her psychological barriers are much less. Thinking of Harvey's instructions, she constantly tells herself that this is not a stage, that she is not a performer, but Haide, a noble and enthusiastic girl in the novel the count of Monte Cristo.

Harvey's performance makes her have no time to think about some messy things. He looks like a noble count, so she has to play the role of the warm and straightforward girl.

She put down her cigarette, looked at Harvey and hummed, "Why are you so cold when you call me?" The tone was discontented: "do you feel unhappy about me? If that's the case, punish me as you like, but don't talk to me so politely. "

Under the stage, Maxwell, the head of Brenda theatre, was secretly surprised that their acting skills were not good, but they could clearly feel the different styles from the drama performance.

"Haide, now we are in the kingdom of Augustine."

Her beautiful willow eyebrows gently PICK: "so what?"

"It means you're free."

"Freedom?" Christie read it twice, feeling puzzled: "what do I want to do freely?"

Harvey frowned and loosened: "freedom can leave me. You can live the life you want."

"Why do I have to live my life? Freedom is useless to me. Why do I leave you?"

"It's not something I should interfere in. Now that we're going into society, you should see the world."

Christie looked awkward and said, "I don't want to see anyone."

Along with Harvey's lines, everything became natural. Christie recalled all her lines clearly. She was really thinking about how Haide should deal with the count of Monte Cristo. She can't figure out the answer, but she can know what she should do next.

Harvey has no choice but to step forward and look at her with complicated eyes, like her father persuading her daughter: "Haidai, you can't always stay in the house in this prosperous city. If you meet someone you love, I'm happy to help you."

Christie sat up and looked at Harvey. "I've never seen a more reliable man. I only love you and my father."

Harvey said in a pitiful tone, "that's because you have no contact with any man except your father and me."

······

Harvey picked up the young girl's slender hand and was about to raise it to her lips. Christie quickly pulled back her hand, then put half of her delicate cheek together, squinting for her master's kiss.

Harvey couldn't laugh or cry, moved his head, thought for a moment and said, "I need you to know that from now on, you are free. You are free to give up or keep the customs of your hometown. You can do whatever you want. If you want to live in seclusion, you can stay here. If you want to go out, you can go out. There is a carriage waiting for you. No matter where you go, northton and domay, I can accompany you. I only ask you to promise me one thing. "

Christie looked down in disappointment and said, "Oh, go ahead."

······

After the performance, Harvey finally nodded with satisfaction: "Miss Isaiah, it seems that you finally understand the difference between drama and" phantom ". It will be officially shot in a few days. I hope you can keep the state at this time."

Maxwell, who had already been stunned by the show, applauded subconsciously and realized that it was an audition rather than an embarrassing stop after the performance.

After the performance, Christie wipes the sweat on her forehead, and her unhappiness with Harvey disappears. At least Harvey is not a layman who gives her advice. In a mixed mood, he raised his skirt to salute Harvey and said, "Mr. Adrian, it's a great honor to get your praise. I'm amazed at your acting skills."

After finishing Christie's audition, the faces of the actors who watched beside her became more nervous. Just now Christie's performance only reached the level of passing?
