Rebirth of the rich and famous

Chapter 228
Song Xiaoye was taken aback for a moment, seeing Louise's face that was already sweating and even having a runny nose, she immediately understood.

Without saying another word, she shook off Louise's hand, counted five ten-dollar bills from her wallet, and stuffed them into Louise's hand.

Without looking up at her, Louise lowered her head, tightly grasping the five banknotes in her palm, and swiped them tightly, "Off-Broadway, Collective Theater."

As soon as Louise said it, Song Xiaoye knew where it was.

Look at Louise, she didn't say anything, just turned around and walked out.

Drugs don't stick, and once they stick, they can't be shaken off.With Louise like this now, she is basically useless.Whether she can stand up in the future depends entirely on herself, and no one else can help her.

After leaving the club, Song Xiaoye took a taxi and went straight to 56th Street.

In the 42nd block, the most famous one is of course Broadway Avenue. The center point is Times Square on 42nd Street. Surrounding Times Square, there are 36 theaters, which is Broadway full of dreams.

But in addition to these 36 theaters, there are more than 41 theaters on 56st Street and 20th Street. Here, it is Off Broadway.

The origin of the Outer Broadway, on the one hand, is that it is slightly behind in terms of geographical location, and on the other hand, it is very different from Broadway in terms of performance style.

Most of the Broadway shows are classic plays, which are elegant and gorgeous, and the production costs are also high.On Off-Broadway, they performed more unknown or experimental plays with low cost.Moreover, in recent years, New York has also been known as Off-Broadway, which refers to small troupes and studios that are not located in the 42nd block and staged in small theaters.

On 56th Street, the Collective Theater is easy to find.The old theater has a charming new charm against the backdrop of neon lights.

On the large poster at the entrance of the theater, Song Xiaoye saw Mia at a glance.That fiery red hair made Song Xiaoye laugh unconsciously.

She prefers Mia's red hair to blonde hair!
It's about to start, but fortunately there are still extra tickets, although the seats are already a little late.

According to the program list attached to the ticket, the musical to be staged tonight is "Girl from the 42nd Street".Song Xiaoye had never heard of this play title before, so it might be a new play.

Although it was just a very simple plot introduction, the whole story inferred from the plot made Song Xiaoye feel very kind.

A beautiful girl came to the 42nd block from the countryside for her dream, but was not recognized by others, so she could only dance hip-hop on the street and become a wandering entertainer.

One day, a well-known agent mined the teenage girl on the street and brought her into real Broadway.Recording albums and holding concerts, the girl became a big star in everyone's attention.

But the good times don't last long, the girl inadvertently discovers that she is just a profit tool in the hands of the agent, and her self-righteous love and artistic dreams are just chips for exchanging money...

This story is almost Mia's experience, no, not Mia's personal experience, but the common experience of all the girls who came to New York to find their dreams.

There may be deviations, but there are always similarities of one kind or another.

In no hurry to find Mia, Song Xiaoye sat on the seat, quietly waiting for the curtain to open.

The curtain opened. Compared with the magnificence and delicacy of the big theater, the stage presented in front of the audience can only be described as simple.

However, the actors who appeared on stage were not affected in the slightest.

The red-haired Mia, wearing jeans and a loose T-shirt, sang and danced on stage, and Song Xiaoye immediately remembered their first meeting.

As if the scene reappeared, Mia was dancing street dance on the stage, and the actors who came on stage one after another either hurried past or stopped, and merged into her dance because of Mia's appeal.

Seeing this scene, Song Xiaoye couldn't help smiling.

The vibrant music gradually faded, and the actors who danced with Mia retreated to the backstage one after another. Mia, who was standing on the stage, looked around sadly when the music reached its lowest point, and shuffled to pack the iron box at her feet.

In the tin box, there were only a few dollars. Obviously, this was another day of disappointment for her.

The music suddenly sounded again, with a kind of boldness, Mia, who was holding the iron box, raised her head, as if she was looking at the sky, looking at the sky that attracted her to abandon everything and run desperately...

"Where do we live? Under the sky of the metropolis, or in the dark streets? Where do we live? In the sunshine of the farm, or in a warm home? No! We live in a dream! Only with a dream can we survive... ..."

"I long to put on my wings and fly to the sky of my dreams! I long to hold that trophy firmly in my hands... The turmoil that will never be peaceful grows in my heart, like a tree sprouting, looking for the brightest sunshine... ..."

"On the road of wind and rain, what is depression and loss? Just move forward, forward, and forward again—even if you fall, even if you are injured, as long as the dream is still there, one day, I will fly to that blue sky..."

As the singing faded, Mia lowered her eyes, then raised her eyes with a smile on her face, "Hey, girl, where do you live? Under the sky of the metropolis, or in a dream?"

The soft voice is different from the passion just now, like a girl's whisper, but it is very touching.

The curtain hung down, and thunderous applause broke out from the audience.

Song Xiaoye clapped her hands vigorously, her face flushed with excitement.

Mia's singing is even more touching than it was two years ago.If in the past she won the audience with her voice and skills, then Mia is now using her emotions to impress the audience.

Her singing is full of emotion, the kind of strength that has gone through hardships but is still indomitable—perhaps, no one is more suitable than Mia to play the role of Jane in "Girl from the 42nd Street".

When the curtain opened again, Song Xiaoye's mood was still not completely calmed down.

Watching the performance on the stage, she suddenly laughed and felt sad because of the performance of Mia and those actors.This is the charm of stage play. Compared with movies, you can feel the performance of actors more clearly. At this moment, the hearts on and off the stage seem to be connected.

On the stage, besides Mia, the most eye-catching actor is the actor who plays the role of manager Danny.Not only does he sing well, but his acting skills are also great. Although there are no close-up shots like the movies, his expression is still very contagious to the audience.

"Jane, you are so naive! In this world, what can have nothing to do with money? This world is originally ruled by money!"

Danny asked loudly, looking at Jane with mockery in his eyes.

Jane took two steps back, looked at Danny, shook her head, and answered him loudly: "You are wrong! Danny, my dreams, my talents, have nothing to do with money! No amount of money can buy you." My talent, let alone give up my dream..."

Maybe this is Mia's heartfelt voice? !Similarly, it was also Song Xiaoye's voice!
In the final scene, the curtain was raised again after falling, and all the actors on the stage bowed to greet the audience, Song Xiaoye could no longer suppress the excitement in her heart, stood up, waved her hands, and shouted loudly to the stage: "Mia! I love you - you are the best!"

Although the audience is required to have certain manners when watching a musical, but at the end of the play, the more enthusiastic the audience is, the better.Beside Song Xiaoye, many audience members clapped their hands and applauded loudly, but she was the only one who shouted like her.

Because of her cry, many audience members looked towards her, and Mia on the stage also looked over.

Far away, across the crowd, Mia covered her mouth, her eyes widened, and she screamed in disbelief.

"Oh my God, Xiaoye, Xiaoye, my Xiaoye..." She lifted her skirt and jumped off the stage, not caring what others thought, and ran towards Song Xiaoye.

Song Xiaoye squeezed out of the crowd and ran towards Mia.

The two hugged each other in the aisle, laughing loudly, but tears slipped down their cheeks unknowingly.

It can be seen that the two girls are friends who have been reunited for a long time. Whether it is the audience exiting the stage or the actors on the stage, they all look at them with kind smiles.

"God, I can't believe it, you're back! Ah, you bad guy, are you trying to surprise me on purpose? You didn't even tell me..."

Pulling Song Xiaoye, Mia turned around and yelled loudly: "Kayli, Kaili, come here..."

Following her gaze, Song Xiaoye saw the actor playing Danny jump off the stage.

"Wow! Handsome guy!"

"Hmm, let me introduce you," Mia held Carey's arm, "This is our team leader, the screenwriter, director and lead actor of "Girl in the 42nd Street", Carey Vega."

"What a long list of titles!" Song Xiaoye smiled and stretched out her hand, "However, I think there should be one more important identity. You didn't introduce it!? Boyfriend!"

"Well," Mia shook her head with a smile, "No, not her boyfriend—" She raised her hand, "Please call me Mrs. Vega!"

Staring at the diamond ring on Mia's left ring finger, Song Xiaoye was overwhelmed with surprise, "Oh my God! Look who's married!"

Holding Mia's hand, she carefully looked at the diamond ring, which didn't look like much, as if she was looking at a ten-carat treasure.

Her gaze made Mia very happy, although they both knew that this diamond ring was not that expensive.However, no matter how cheap the ring is, when it is worn on the ring finger of the left hand cherishedly, it is priceless.

"Mia, you didn't tell me about your marriage. It really makes me sad." Song Xiaoye blamed, and looked up at Carey Vega who had been looking at Mia with a smile.

Whispered: "You really are a match! Seriously, I really haven't seen a more suitable couple than you!"

"I know!" Mia laughed, "Honey, you can also make up the gift now - we just got married in Las Vegas last week. If I knew you would come back, I would definitely wait for you , I invite you to watch the ceremony—you know, my best friend is you!"

Song Xiaoye smiled, and was about to raise her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Mia's eyes, but someone wiped them away with her fingers before her.

"Ahh..." She smiled, scraping her cheeks with her fingers.

Mia, who was still talking a little excitedly, immediately reached out to hit her, and the two of them tore and laughed together.

Kaili on the side always looked at them with a smile, his eyes were full of tenderness.

Holding Mia in her arms, Song Xiaoye whispered: "Mia, you really found the right man..." Seeing the smile on Mia's face, she took back what she hadn't finished speaking.

Well, even if she doesn't say it, Mia knows it too!

　Finally turned to the map, the handsome Will will appear soon!

　　Please support handsome boy!
