There are still plans for tonight.

It was mainly due to the start of the stage play of "The Man From Earth" some time ago, which is also an important part of this phenomenal blockbuster sci-fi at the beginning of last year.

Speaking of which, the famous Broadway is not just classics such as "Phantom of the Opera" and "Cats". Many Hollywood movies will be adapted into stage plays and performed on Broadway. Once successful, they will be performed in San Francisco, London, Paris outside New York Waiting for a tour.

Just like this time, the 3D version of "The Lion King" produced by Daenerys Entertainment was released at the end of 93. Not only did the global box office exceed 9 million US dollars, it also launched a stage play at the end of last year and it was a great success. The box office of the tour around the world exceeded 3 million US dollars.

This is actually just the beginning.

The former "Lion King" continued to tour until 20 years later, and the cumulative box office of stage plays even surpassed the legendary "Phantom of the Opera", reaching more than 60 billion US dollars.

Although the profit margins of stage plays that require high rents and actors’ salaries are relatively low, this kind of phenomenon-level peripheral income that can last for decades is actually the foundation of a large studio.The reason why Daenerys Entertainment was able to achieve a net profit of more than US$50 billion in the past fiscal year is also because the diversified omni-channel operations of the entire group are becoming more and more mature.

Besides, "The Man From Earth", the reason why I plan to watch it tonight is because the heroine is Alexandra Martinis, the "Princess of the Golden Rose Cave" brought back by Simon from Italy.

Unlike "The Lion King", which requires a huge investment and requires professional singing and dancing, "The Man From Earth" is mainly about dialogue and does not have high requirements for actors. Alexandra is more than enough to play this role.

Then I made an appointment to spend the night with the woman after the performance.

After a period of abstinence from being surrounded by pregnant women, I can relax tonight.

Chapter 1050 Warm water boiled frog

Inside a theater near Broadway at 43rd Street in Midtown, Manhattan.

Tonight's "The Man From Earth" started at 7:30, Simon arrived 20 minutes earlier, went to the backstage to greet Alexandra Martinez as the heroine, and then quietly went to the second floor opposite Stage boxes.

This is a medium-sized hall with about 200 people.

After all, he is the boss. Now that he was there, Simon couldn’t help paying attention to the attendance downstairs. In fact, when he was backstage, the person in charge of the project had already briefed Simon. About a week after the show started, the attendance rate of this stage play remained at 90% every day. Above, weekends are hard to get a ticket.

Compared with "The Lion King", although it is also a phenomenon, the adaptation of "This Man From Earth", which is mainly based on dialogue, is not very enjoyable to watch, so the investment in the project is relatively conservative.

After the official opening, the results far exceeded expectations.

As for why, it is not difficult to speculate.

First, the original movie is famous enough that it doesn't need much publicity to become well known.Secondly, it is probably because this stage play is simple enough, the story is not lacking in interest, and compared with those large-scale stage plays, the ticket price is much cheaper, which attracts enough audiences.

To put it bluntly, similar to movies, 'Popcorn' has a wider audience than art movies.

The project was successful, and Daenerys Entertainment's stage play department is already considering forming a second crew and launching a global tour.

Thinking about these things, when the opening was approaching, Simon noticed four very conspicuous tall figures coming in a hurry from the downstairs hall. After seeing their faces clearly, he gave instructions to the bodyguards guarding behind him.

The two daughters of Jian Xin and Robert Chilco, whom they just met yesterday, walked around the street for an afternoon, had dinner together, and hurried over on time.

As soon as they were seated, a man in black came over and said a few words. Jian Xin, who was still a little vigilant and thought it was someone who hit up a conversation, glanced at the box upstairs, and happened to see someone nodding to them, and pulled Tao Yuelei back to the room. Get up, hesitate a little, take Roberta two.

"Simon, I didn't expect you to be here."

Jian Xin was the first to enter the private room, and greeted him in Chinese very happily. Seeing the man sitting on the chair leisurely with his legs crossed, he was a little at a loss, and saw him stretch out his hand to meet him, following the traction of the other party. Dao sat on his lap, and looked shyly at the three people who came in afterward.

Simon hugged the slender waist of the tall girl in his arms, felt the fragrance of the woman coming towards him, and said in Chinese: "Xiner has become beautiful again recently."

That's not a compliment.

Compared with the three girls who were somewhat incompatible with the United States when they first met, after becoming Simon's lover, after a few months of cultivation, the temperament of the two women has undergone fundamental changes at this time, as if they have faded away. The two jerky hibiscus flowers are elegant and delicate.

Jian Xin didn't expect Simon to use such an intimate address. Some kind of strangeness that he hadn't seen for a long time melted instantly because of a man's address, but he didn't forget the Western conversation habits he was just familiar with. He leaned on the man and said, "Thank you , Simon, um, you are... handsome again."

Simon smiled, seeing the other three women also came to him, he lifted Jian Xin's light body and motioned her to sit on the chair beside her, and then stretched out his hand to pull Tao Yuelei.

Tao Yuelei, who was far less generous than Jian Xin, sat obediently on the man's lap, but her body was a little stiff. Her small hands were holding the bag in front of her, and her eyes didn't know where to put it.

Moreover, he thought that the man would say a few words to Jian Xin and let her sit next to her. Unexpectedly, he turned to chat with Roberta and signaled the two women to sit on the other side of the table. In this box, there are only two chairs on both sides of a table in the center, and even the bodyguards in the corner behind can only stand.

Apparently there was no place for her.

No way... just sit on his lap and watch the whole drama, right?

Simon didn't seem to notice Tao Yuelei's thoughts in his arms, and greeted Roberta, and he didn't forget Annelise Thurbert who was sitting on the far left: "Annie, I remember your name is very long, what is the full spelling? "

Anneliese Seubert glanced enviously at Tao Yuelei on the man's lap. Hearing this, she cheered up and said, "Anneliese Seubert," the girl said with a surprised expression after she finished speaking, "Simon, I didn't expect you to remember my name?"

"Of course, I personally selected every angel," Simon said with a smile, "And, I also know that you are from Australia."

"Yes," Annelise Thurbert didn't miss the chance to chat with Westeros a few more words, "But I was actually born in Germany and immigrated to Australia when I was 9 years old."

"Oh, then you must speak German."

"I still use it a lot now," Annelise replied directly in German, and winked at Simon: "Simon, everyone says that you are very gifted in languages ​​and can speak many languages?"

Simon also changed to German, with a little joke: "If you know one or two words, you can speak one, and the languages ​​I can speak can't be counted with two hands. I'm a genius."

"Oh, you are a genius."

Annelise still answered in German. Seeing the bewildered looks of the other three girls, she couldn't help feeling a little superior.

As a native American girl, Roberta didn't want to lose the initiative. She was about to speak when the lights in the theater dimmed and the performance was about to start, so she had to stop.

Of course, Annelise must also stop.

The upcoming show is the work of the man next to him. If he doesn't take the initiative to continue the conversation, no matter whether it is true or not, he should be more serious. After all, many artists usually don't like people who are absent-minded about their works.

Simon didn't continue chatting, and looked towards the stage below, his chin resting lightly on the small shoulder of the girl in his arms.Feeling that Tao Yuelei's body that had just softened became stiff again, she intentionally kissed her on the neck and said, "If you don't like me, sit with Xiner."

How dare you not like it?

Subconsciously came up with this idea, and Tao Yuelei was about to speak to argue when she already felt the strength from his arm.

Get up.

Originally, I wanted to squeeze with Jian Xin, although I had to sit on Jian Xin's lap, but it was easier than being hugged by him.However, just as she passed by, Jian Xin had already given up her seat, turned around and came to him, and sat down on the man's lap very generously.

Seeing this, Tao Yuelei could only sit on the chair by herself, pretending that she didn't see the intimacy of the two people next to her, and turned her eyes to the stage.

But inexplicably there was a small resentment in his heart.

The box is actually quite spacious, not to mention that in his capacity, is it difficult to add a chair?

And, just now, it seemed... He had praised Xinxin, but he didn't praise her, and turned to the other two girls.

eccentric!

The stage version of "The Man Who Came From Earth" is similar to the movie version, and a few modifications are also made to adapt to the stage environment.Although he is already very familiar with the story, Simon enjoyed watching the 90-minute performance with the beauty in his arms.

However, the subsequent arrangements made the four girls quite disappointed.

It had been arranged in advance to spend the night with Alexandra Martinis on stage, and Simon had no intention of going back on his word.However, when we parted, Simon invited four girls. If you are free tomorrow, you can go to Long Island to play, and he will rest tomorrow.
