Chapter 525 Similarities and Differences
In the Pendulum Grand Theatre, when people in the troupe were chatting, they could occasionally hear their discussions about the aftermath of the arena incident that had not yet passed.
"The Silver Sands Arena exploded."
"The troublemaker is really powerful. The guy from the Core Code Company brought it upon himself. You know that those rich people have many troublemakers in their hands, and they will reap the consequences sooner or later. Look, something will happen."
"Actually, my friend also bought a ticket to see it that day, but the ticket was snatched by a gangster and he was beaten in vain."
"It's okay to take a beating in exchange for a life."
"What's so good about that kind of bloody emotional venting activity? Even so many big guys like to watch it."
"Of course it's gambling. Rich people like this the most."
"If you ask me, everyone who goes to see it is stupid!"
Brother Zhizhi passed by with today's coffee, turned around and said: "That one over there, are you very free today? Has the corridor outside been cleaned? No? It's yours, go ahead."
It's really unseemly to chat behind the scenes while not working in broad daylight. Do you think you are Wanyi?
Wan Yi can't fish like this!
Brother Zhi glanced around the backstage and saw Chu Xin and Da Luo Ben who were talking. Da Luo Ben was still wearing his clothes, but there was nothing wrong with working here.
It was a relief to have a man who could juggle an entire theater in his hands.
Brother Zhi stepped forward and gestured to the two extra cups of coffee he had brought: "Okay, how are you today?"
Robben nodded silently and took his cup of coffee.
Chu Xin waved her hand slightly and said with a smile: "Hello, Captain, what kind of coffee is today?"
"You like ordinary black coffee. I know you don't like sweet coffee so I didn't make my own decision." Brother Zhi said as he handed over the coffee.
Chu Xin pursed her lips lightly, nodded and said, "Thank you."
Big Robben took a sip of his coffee. It had a rich sweet chocolate flavor... It was mocha, with a lot of sugar.
He doesn't like sweet things either.
After the theaters reopened early in the morning, the theater company's revenue was generally stable, but it continued to decline slightly as time went on.
But this is already very valuable.
You must know that as an entertainment activity, there is also a large live broadcast industry as a competitor. Our own live broadcast of Abyss Boundary is still going on, and the popularity is far from subsided.
Under such circumstances, it is remarkable that the theater can maintain stable attendance.
Of course, there are also factors involved in audience differences.
But now, because of the underground renovation gladiator incident, Wan Yi used the media to slander the renovation gladiatorial activity and at the same time promoted his own drama activities.
Thanks to increased exposure and support from peers, new income has picked up again.
Everyone is happy.
"There is another big performance today, Chu Xin, come on," Brother Zhi said to Chu Xin.
Chu Xin narrowed her eyes slightly and replied with a dazzling smile: "That's of course."
"Miss Chu Xin, I want to correct a line here."
"good."
Another actor shouted, and after Chu Xin responded, he waved to Big Robben and Brother Zhi again and passed away. However, when facing the others, his expression suddenly became much colder, and the temperament of the flower of the high mountain came to his mind. born.
"Take a step to speak, Xia Yin." Brother Zhi can now call Big Robben by his name.
Seeing this, Da Luo Ben nodded silently.
The two came to the corner of the backstage, where few other people came, and it was basically a place where debris was accumulated.
The philosophical brother conveyed the previous meeting between Lucas and Robben to Robben in a concise and concise manner. Of course, he did not mention Robben's opinion of his father, which was more objective.
After listening to this, Da Luo Ben sighed: "Should we overthrow the existing golden circle? This road must be poured with blood and built with corpses."
"Yes, there must be sacrifices." Brother Philosophy agreed.
Big Robben just shook his head and didn't say anything more about this matter. He changed the topic to something he was more concerned about: "You won't target Chu Xin again, are you sure little Robben?"
"He is not sure. There are still people within that force who believe that Chu Xin must be eliminated."
Da Luoben said: "Then we still cannot take it lightly. This may also be the other party releasing news to paralyze us."
"You don't believe in your son anymore?" Brother Zhi was a little surprised.
"I believe Arona, but those people who still have malicious intentions may also know Arona's temperament, so they deliberately allowed him to hand over this ambiguous news to us." Robben's silver-gray eyes were a little deep.
Brother Zhizhi nodded and said: "It is indeed possible. It seems that your working life cannot simply end. By the way, you seem to have forfeited your salary last month. What's going on?"
"I don't need a salary, we just collaborate."
"How can that be done? After all, you also work here. If you tell me, you think our theater can't even afford a brick mover." Brother Zhi shook his head.
"Formalism."
"Your staying here is also a further guarantee for the theater's security capabilities. Just consider this part of the cost and keep it." After Brother Zhi finished speaking, he was not going to argue anymore.
When Da Luo Ben saw this, he was no longer stubborn.
Seeing Brother Philosophy drinking coffee lightly, Robben said: "You are very strange."
"Um?"
"You are very casual. Except for certain phased goals, you all act based on your likes and dislikes, making it unpredictable."
"Um, is this a compliment? I'll accept it for everyone first."
"Your behavior in general is bringing destruction and some disasters, but after close contact with you, I found that you like to spread some simple and superficial kindness."
"Huh?" Brother Zhi was a little surprised.
It seems that during the days when Robben was "moving bricks" in the theater, he didn't just stare at Chu Xin. He also took the opportunity to observe Wan Yi and others.
Of course Wan Yi occasionally noticed his behavior, but it was due to his caution.
Unexpectedly, he seemed to have some independent views on Wan Yi.
"You will take care of some down-and-out refugees, maybe just give them a little money, maybe a piece of bread, maybe a piece of clothing. Even your gangs will destroy some gangs that are doing dirty things."
"Well, I did it according to my mood. Everyone's thoughts are very complicated." Brother Zhi understood what Da Luo wanted to say.
"The people at the top of the Golden Circle regard you as evil ghosts, but in fact, you seem to be making the Golden Circle better." Da Luoben said.
"Hmm... It's hard to say this. Just blocking the attacker's punch once is often difficult to make him stop punching."
Seeing what Da Luo wanted to say, Brother Zhi raised his hand to stop him in time, and then said: "Xia Yin, we get along very well, but I'm sorry to say that almost all of us don't like this place. In general Speaking of which, we are closer to Arona's ideas. Of course, you are very similar to some of our current behaviors, like a friendly neighborhood hero, willing to help others, stopping some evil deeds, and often defeating several evil forces. Sounds good , as simple and desirable as the unit chapter of a heroic drama. But you are probably doing it out of compassion and a sense of responsibility. We are doing it out of a deep-rooted habit, and that is not what we really think."
"..."
"When a certain time comes, no matter how loud the old lady we helped carelessly screams, we may not be able to save her."
After saying that, Brother Philosophy patted Robben on the shoulder: "We promise not to be your enemy, friend, at least for my sake. I hope you don't have too high expectations."
After saying that, Brother Zhi smiled and dispelled some heavy atmosphere: "I wish you a happy life, Xia Yin, and protect Chu Xin."
He turned and left.
Da Luoben looked at Brother Philosophy's back for a long time, and the tall figure suddenly became a little lonely.
Take a sip of coffee.
Very sweet.
But he really doesn't like sweet taste.
In other words, Tiantian doesn't like him.
