Broadway

Shangxi District www.biqugew.co ]In the villa, Wang Jian, dressed in pajamas, sat on the sofa, staring at a beautiful card in a daze.

Broadway has nothing to do with myself

Why did they send an invitation to the judges of their highest award, the Tony Award.

Of course, if it's an Oscar or a Grammy invitation, he probably won't think so much about it.

After all, watching movies or listening to pop songs can be done at home as a pastime.

But, Tony?

You need to go to the theater and watch it live!

Not to mention Broadway, since the 1990s, the trend of decline has become more and more obvious.

Just thinking about those operas, Wang Jian was not interested.

This kind of thing is a bit too high-end for him.

"What's more, I have to watch 10 nominated operas!"

Wang Jian pondered for a moment and dialed Mr. Stephen King.

As a writer, he only knew the "king of bestsellers".

"Tony prize?" Stephen King froze for a moment, then chuckled.

"It shows that you have been recognized, invited by the judges of the Tony Awards, and considered as an invitation to the top art circles in the United States."

"Of course, we are writers, and ultimately we have to rely on our own works."

"You can just watch one scene, just like me, and vote for it. Or, like Neil Gayman, ignore it. "

A symbol of identity?

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Jian decided to go and see one.

The main reason is that he is a little flustered when he has no job.

The secondary reason is that the identity of artist is so easy to use

According to Stephen King, these judges include classical musicians, painters and sculptors who have nothing to do with musicals, and the selection process is not rigorous.

However, when you go to the judges' special performance, it's better to keep up with it as if you went to a classical concert.

He not only needs to wear a suit and shoes, but also needs to carry a heterosexual partner.

"But not many people are interested in musicals, are they?"

After thinking for a moment, Wang Jian dialed Vera famiga.

After the first season of "abnormal", she should still be in a state of rest for the time being. She hasn't received any new projects.

What's more, as a former Broadway actress, her acceptance of opera should be higher.

"Miss Saigon"? As the judge's partner? " Vera's shrieking voice almost pierced Wang Jian's eardrum through the microphone.

"I will? Of course I will!"

"Wang, are you at home? I'll come to you with my costume in a minute! "

I wipe? I'm a teddy dog in each other's eyes?

"No, there's still a chance tonight..."

Wang Jian put down the phone? He turned his mouth helplessly.

It's just a musical? If it wasn't for the blessing of status, he really didn't want to go.

"This Vera, how is she?"

Forget it

Wang Jian shook his head, went into the bedroom and began to choose his clothes.

About six in the evening? Outside the Metropolitan Opera House in New York.

Vera famiga, dressed in a red evening dress, took Wang Jian's arm and appeared with a smile.

To tell you the truth, she has become a second rate TV star through "abnormal", and she is not going to play any musical in the future.

After all, TV dramas and movies have a wider audience and higher pay.

What's more, when she was on Broadway, she didn't like this place at all.

Many people say that there is fierce competition in the American performing arts circle? Countless actresses are willing to sell their bodies in order to get a role.

Compared with Broadway? What's that?

No matter the quality? Hollywood starts making about thousands of films a year.

And opera?

Once it reaches 100, it can be said to be the year of Broadway.

As a direct result, except for famous actors, the bottom of Broadway doesn't have much chance even if they want to be hidden rules.

When she went to shoot "abnormal", Vera vowed that she would never come back to this ghost place again.

Although she broke her promise, she was very happy in her heart.

Vera watched as Wang Jian handed the judges' invitation to the ticket collector, and then was respectfully led to the seat.

"Because everything is different!"

"Vera?"

At this time, a surprised voice sounded behind her.

Vera looked around and found that it was her former companion.

At the beginning, they worked part-time in Wang Jian's apartment, and they also looked for opportunities on Broadway.But now, he has become a second tier star. The other party is still wearing the uniform of the apartment, rushed to the backstage.

"Long time no see." Vera hugged each other in a friendly way.

After all, we all depended on each other for a long time in New York City.

This feeling is quite sincere.

But the other party's next sentence almost made her favor disappear completely.

"If you have a chance in the future, can you recommend me?" The companion timidly says.

Then, he secretly pointed to Wang Jian, "and, can you introduce him to me in a hurry?"

Introduce to you?

If possible, Vera even hopes to be Wang Jian's only woman.

During this period, she deeply realized the importance of having a big man to rely on in the entertainment industry.

Not to mention in the "abnormal" crew, she and Naomi gained unprecedented respect because they revealed their relationship with Wang Jian.

"Ha ha, it's not convenient this time, but it will be next time." Vera said no with a smile. "And you have to go backstage and make up."

"Who was that?" Wang Jian took the voting card from the staff and asked casually.

"Er..." Veraton gave a pause. "An irrelevant man."

Soon, with the curtain opened, the famous opera "Miss Saigon" officially began.

Vera looked at her former companion, acting as a human background board without a single line on the stage, and thought about herself.

She can't help but sit straight, from the hope to attract the attention of those who have competitors on stage posture, become closer to the man beside.

But Wang Jian didn't feel much about it.

He frowned and looked at the stage, feeling a fit of discomfort.

Because this so-called classic opera is the dog blood story of an Asian unmarried girl who falls in love with a married American soldier.

For the sake of the man, the woman abandoned her childhood boyfriend, relatives, and even the country to come to the United States as a junior.

"No wonder some people say that no matter how much you play up, white people are naturally racist."

"You think you are superior to other ethnic groups!"

Wang Jian pondered for a moment and directly scored the lowest score on the ballot paper.

"Mr. Wang, don't you like this musician?"

Beside him, a middle-aged man's voice rang out.

Wang Jian looked up and found that he knew this man.

Roger Albert, one of Joseph Keller's students, is a third rate writer.

Of course, he is more well-known as a drama critic and film critic. He has a great influence on important awards including Oscars.

"Well, not very much." Wang Jian nodded and replied.

"I don't like it either. The acting skills of the actors in this musical are too raw. It's only through the influence of Miss Saigon that we can get the nomination. " Roger nodded and wrote the lowest score on the ballot.

"By the way, Mr. Wang's abnormal has been nominated for an Emmy Award." The critic said with a smile.

"But friends is really the most popular TV series in recent years."

"Although because of some disturbances," abnormal "seems to have a certain opportunity."

"However, this storm is not enough for the judges to change their vote from friends to abnormal."

Roger pause, "although I chose" abnormal ", but also ask Mr. Wang for me to say sorry to the teacher."

"Hehe, first of all, thank Mr. Roger for his love of the unusual." Wang Jian quite for open-minded smile, "I think Mr. Keller, will not mind."

Roger looked at Wang's indifferent expression and nodded.

"This mentality may be the gap between me and the top writers."

However, he did not know that what Wang Jian was thinking at this time was that "whether the Emmy Award of" abnormal "could be won or not is a matter of ABC."

"Does it have anything to do with yourself?"
