I really don't want to fight with gods

Chapter 427
Simon is over 60, with a bald head and swollen eyes, talking and muttering.

But in good health: "Michael said that you appointed Westside Theater to make the premiere of this HK play?"

Not long after Jing Xiaoqiang's last life, the old man passed away due to a sudden illness. He passed away quite suddenly, and the two sons fought fiercely for the family property.

Among the various gossip exchanges among ordinary employees, Jing Xiaoqiang, the founder of Xicheng Theater and old Simon, is naturally familiar with various topics, even he knows that he has a mistress outside.

But if Jing Xiaoqiang didn't say anything, it would be too shocking and inexplicable.

And it's not a good thing for old Simon, who has a strong desire for control, to feel that his privacy has been violated.

Jing Xiaoqiang is very clear about the old man's preferences: "The West City Theater may become the focus of Broadway time and time again with the repertoire from the East. I am willing to serve you..."

It's just like the respectable person in the movie "The Godfather".

When Simon was young, he served as a soldier in Jiaopen and did business by the way. He made a lot of money and came back to buy a theater and work on it. Until now, he has a preference for the East, and he also thinks that the East is his lucky azimuth.

Of course, after staying in this street for 40 years, Simon likes to put on his old status and imitate the godfather.

Now I am very satisfied with the low-browed and pleasing eyes of the young lead actor and director of the show: "Tell me specifically?"

Jing Xiaoqiang began to fool around: "Two new dramas a year are produced in Hong Kong and Shanghai respectively. After accepting market verification, we will send them to Xicheng Theater for public performances, and we promise not to perform in other theaters. We only hope to get Xicheng Theater full support of…”

Xicheng Theater is actually a small theater, and Jing Xiaoqiang's humility made old Simon very useful: "How can we support it? You should know that our cost is very high."

Of course Jing Xiaoqiang knows the cost-benefit of West City Theater, which is not as rich as the HK Cultural Center, so he doesn’t care about the economic benefits here: “We only get the box office share for the performance, and we also pay for other publicity investment. We mainly want to get Broadway As the identity of the Westside Theater’s Asian cooperation song and dance troupe, we communicate with each other, we send people to perform, and Westside Theater also organizes repertoires to perform in Asia.”

Hearing that they didn't ask for money, but only for titles and commercial performances, Old Simon heaved a sigh of relief and put on a show: "It depends on what kind of response this show can arouse on Broadway. This is not something that can survive in ordinary musicals." place……"

Jing Xiaoqiang was even more respectful: "That's why we have to cooperate with Xicheng Theater. I think this is our luck."

Old Simon was very satisfied, and even gave Jing Xiaoqiang a cigar.

Then he personally went off to urge the orchestra and the backstage to strengthen cooperation in rehearsals, and fully assist the HK Song and Dance Troupe in its premiere.

Still at the side of the orchestra pit, posing in the air of a godfather and reciting the famous line: "The person who spends half a second to see the essence of things clearly, and the person who spends a lifetime not seeing the essence of things clearly, are destined to have completely different fates. Robert is very vision……"

Although the musicians didn't take this small theater owner seriously, they still admired Jing Xiaoqiang for coaxing him so quickly.

Wang Qian and the others were even more proud.

The HK bosses who sent the lion dance team back felt that Jing Xiaoqiang had coaxed the foreigners well again.

Grateful.

After hearing what Jing Xiaoqiang said, he would try his best to get some musicals from Broadway to perform in Asia, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

Because the cost of hiring a Broadway musical troupe is very high, the price is based on the income level in New York plus travel subsidies to the Far East, plus huge props, equipment, and appearance fees. It is impossible to share the cost just by performing in HK.

It doesn't matter a few times a year, if it is so high for a long time, it will be a bit of a loss.

Jing Xiaoqiang promised to promote performances in Shanghai and Pingjing, so that he will immediately share a lot.

And with this idea opened up, several big cities in Asia can tour, and Hong Kong song and dance actors can also be cultivated, so the industry will be established.

What Jing Xiaoqiang thinks in his heart is that you want to compare industrialization, can you compare with the mainland?
With a smile on his face, hmmmm.

He actually wants this kind of artistic influence.

Throughout the 90s, Citigroup only entered some blockbuster films to the mainland, and exchanges between song and dance troupes, film crews, artists, etc. were all one-way.

A crop of mainlanders ran to Citigroup.

In fact, letting the Citigroup team show different art forms to Shanghai and universities may be a good way to quickly bridge this gap.

Compared with the huge gap in economy, urban construction, and living conditions, the gap is desperate.

Art is probably the easiest to catch up on.

Jon can only say that I just want to act, and I will leave everything other than acting to you. My life is perfect.

So after the rehearsal started, he almost forgot to sleep and eat.

In the evening performances, they have been watching the backstage to find the feeling.

He came from the serious Citi Academy of Dramatic Art, and he is almost 40 years old. He has acted and filmed so many movies, and he is terribly familiar with the methods of performance theory, animal simulation, and life observation.

After the rehearsal in the afternoon, Pan Yunyan saw Jing Xiaoqiang sneaking up and about to run away, so she quickly caught him: "Where are you going? Take me there!"

Du Ruolan hummed and didn't speak, but he presumably had the same attitude, and the main reason was that he must have hooked up with a foreign girl.

Jing Xiaoqiang explained: "I went to Chinatown, didn't you see the greeting card..."

Pan Yunyan had already folded her arms and began to rub her arms, and said in a nasal voice: "Then you have to take me with you, they said that Chinatown is fun... Lan Lan, why don't you come too, grab your hand over there!"

She also tried to attack on both sides.

Jing Xiaoqiang glanced at Du Ruolan, who was red-faced on the horse, and immediately thought that there was no need for it!No need!
He pulled out his hand vigorously to intimidate: "Didn't you see that the invitation card said the Tongmenghui? Who did you think of? You are so beautiful and followed me to them. Did you know that the Tongmenghui is actually Overseas, through the Hongmen organization, if people see a vixen like you, you can tell me to submit a certificate, do you believe it?"

Pan Yunyan also shook her butt with a sneer, letting the non-existent fox tail sweep away. Du Ruolan had already reacted, and was nervous while holding her girlfriend: "Then...do you have to go? Is it dangerous for you to go?"

Jing Xiaoqiang has already waved his hand and went out: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch a tiger! If our play is to be successful, we must seek support from all aspects. You should learn more from Jon, such a precious opportunity!"

He really wasn't afraid that the girls and Jon would leave the plain and go to grass.

Pan Yunyan still wanted to break free and keep up: "Why, you let me follow!"

Du Ruolan explained in a low voice: "You forgot the Tongmenghui. The reputation of Miss Cheng's family must be the family's overseas relationship. If you follow along like this, what are you?"

Pan Yunyan was not ashamed: "My little wife!"

Du Ruolan's teeth were itching, neither of them had a deep understanding of this issue.

It played the role of the concubine in the house of the feudal landlord, and also played the cruelty of class differences in the slave society.

Jing Xiaoqiang still came out and Long Ge stopped him.

The main reason is that Brother Long is now more and more sure that Jing Xiaoqiang has something interesting to do.

You can't take me with you.

He has always been a crowd of people shouting and cheering, and this time he is editing and producing "Super Cop" after it is finished. It is a rare holiday for him to come out to discuss the future direction with Jing Xiaoqiang.

Come out alone, very fresh.

Jing Xiaoqiang took him to Chinatown by subway, which was very close.

At the end of Broadway Street is the Chinatown in Chinatown, but the area is much smaller than what Jing Xiaoqiang experienced later.

Brother Long came here for another purpose, of course, to conceive the "Red Fan District" he wanted to shoot, which means Chinatown.

But the angle he saw was completely different from Jing Xiaoqiang's.

He can only see the struggle of Chinese people being discriminated against and marginalized.

Jing Xiaoqiang said with a smile: "Without China, Chinatown is nothing..."

When he first came, like most non-scientific Chinese who went abroad, he lived around Chinatown.

Later, Broadway was so close to Chinatown, and I have been watching the changes: "You know, Chinatown was first settled by Chinese laborers, and they struggled to develop together to survive. In World War I and World War II, they desperately went to Europe to fight trench warfare. Dozens of households in a street ran Chinatown was saved only after the funeral, which is called paying the blood tax.”

Already on the street, Jing Xiaoqiang pointed at him casually: "This place is more than 300 meters long, and dozens of households are holding funerals. Think about it, the street is full of plains, just to keep Chinatown, and donate money in other people's wars." , so when China changed its day, they also desperately supported it, just to see the rebirth of their homeland, which is very touching, what are your little emotions?"

Brother Long himself grew up in Chinatown, so he was surprised by the height of Jing Xiaoqiang's story.

Jing Xiaoqiang walked freely: "It wasn't until the founding of New China that Chinatown got rid of the model of paying blood tax and guaranteeing streets. Think about it, because it needs to leave a way to do business with the mainland. How can there be so many doctrines in this world? It’s a business, and I dare not let the Chinese come to fight, for fear of suddenly having some strange ideas, hahaha.”

Brother Long pondered: "It seems to be, my dad said that there were very few soldiers in their generation."

Jing Xiaoqiang didn't say anything later, he watched this area expand into dozens of streets with his own eyes, annexing the surrounding Jewish Quarter, Puerto Rico District, and Italian District.

All the well-known people in China can't wait to go down to the Lighthouse of Freedom to live in heaven, but in fact, the stronger the other side of the ocean, the more they can walk with their necks straight.

Because this is a view of race, I dare not despise it, and I know the Chinese people.

On the contrary, after the mid-90s, the so-called Gao Hua, who made money in the mainland and went abroad, showed various luxury houses and luxury cars, just like what HK experienced.

The ones who got in touch were the big bosses and real estate developers, and gradually lost the mass base.

Jing Xiaoqiang had already seen the plaque on the ancestral hall, shook his clothes, and walked in freely.

On the contrary, Brother Long stood at the door and looked around thoughtfully.

just keep up.

In fact, there are many, many people watching from outside.

Dancers mainly from Europe and the United States may not know him well at this time.

Chinatown knows him all too well.

Married son-in-law, come and bring Brother Long?

Still like bringing a follower?
This row of noodles! !
