At six o'clock, the opera hero sadly hugged the heroine with a dagger stuck in her chest and collapsed on the ground. The curtain of the theater slowly fell and finally covered everything. The entire opera ended here. Du Lin didn't think of anything else at first, but he actually heard the person sitting in the back explain to his female companion that the lowering curtain was black, which represented despair, which meant that despair drowned everything in the end, including the still-living male protagonist.
In addition, Du Lin also discovered a very strange thing. Among the successful capitalists sitting around him, some of them might have forced others to die, but at this moment they actually Some women actually started crying because they looked sad after watching a tragic opera.
Bless the gods, Du Lin also thinks the opera is very good and the actors are also very good. They are not only professional but also very dynamic. It was something he couldn't see in other opera troupe actors. He didn't know how to describe it. It was the kind of actor who stood there and every line and every action made you feel that he was that character and that this was how he should be. The feeling of doing it is not abrupt at all and has a very strong sense of identity, making people feel that he is that person.
The only pity is that the plot is too cliche, and he can't bring himself into it, nor can he feel the deep sadness.
The tearful Henry took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears on his cheekbones. He sobbed twice, "It's so touching and so sad. I have never felt that sadness would hit my heart like a countercurrent river. I I really want to find a place to cry happily!" He turned to look at Du Lin, "Why, why is there always an unbridgeable gap between civilians and nobles? Could it be that such a love would not even be tolerated by God? Are you moved?"
Of course, it’s because you are one person in front of you and another in the other, Du Lin silently said in his heart. The love between nobles and commoners seems to always be the theme of tragedy, whether it is a male noble falling in love with a female commoner or a female noble falling in love with a female commoner. If you kill a male commoner, one of you will have to die in the end, and sometimes both of them will die together.
"Aren't you sad?" Looking at the silent Du Lin, Henry held his handkerchief and blew his nose, then threw the handkerchief to the ground, "For the first time, I discovered that you are really cold-blooded! "
Dulin pointed at his chest and opened his eyes wide, "Me? Cold-blooded? My friend, I sat here with you for more than three hours watching an opera I didn't like, and then you said I was cold-blooded? Am I Do you think I'm a normal person if I cry out? But in fact, that's the abnormal person. This is all fake, just an opera, a performance."
"But they did happen!" Henry argued rarely, and then his attention was quickly diverted from the question of whether Du Lin was a cold-blooded person, "You said I invited the heroine to dinner "How much money can I spend to show my admiration and respect for her?" Dulin had to admire Henry's ability to change the focus. Maybe this bastard was already thinking about how much money he should spend to send the heroine to bed. "Twenty thousand yuan should be about the same. Her current market price is about twenty thousand yuan, what do you think?"
Dulin rolled his eyes. He didn't even know where Henry heard about the actress's price. Maybe that's why he, Henry, and Kevin couldn't get along in some aspects.
Henry raised his hand and waved, and soon a theater waiter came over. He was holding a plate with pen and paper on it. Nowadays, many opera houses have such unspoken rules, or there is a bad trend in the entire industry. Those actors desperately want to be famous, just to sell themselves at a better price, and then use the money to make themselves more famous. status and fame, and then sell for a higher price.
This was the case when he was in the Imperial Capital. At that time, Du Lin thought that this was just a characteristic of the Imperial Capital, but he didn't expect that it was the same here. So this is an issue worthy of people's deep thought, and it has evolved into a social issue. Perhaps this is directly related to the rapid changes of the times. Many people have not kept up with the times. Under the impact of huge forces, they can only choose the most suitable way to adapt to this era.
This is a cycle that never ends, and of course, this is what people call the circle of fame and fortune.
After Henry wrote down the price that he thought was appropriate, he suddenly turned his head and looked at Dulin and asked, "Do you have any actresses that you like? We can go out for a meal together. It's time for dinner, and my stomach I'm a little hungry." Dulin shook his head, hunched his shoulders, folded the notes together, put them back on the tray, and attached a ten-dollar tip. The waiter trotted into the backstage holding the tray with a smile on his face. A tip of ten yuan was enough to make him more proactive in serving this gentleman.
"Guess whether I will be selected, maybe I should pay three thousand yuan more, so that the chance of winning is better." Faced with the chattering Henry Dulin, he found him very annoying, and he was willing to have the heroine kidnapped and sent to the hospital. Henry didn't want him to torture himself for such a thing in bed.
Fortunately, the actors backstage were selected quickly, and Henry was very considerate, so he directly filled in the very high price of 30,000 yuan. Compared with those tens of thousands of notes, the heroine knows how to make the best choice for herself.
In fact, this is also a way to reflect the actors' worth. This time the heroine accepted Henry's invitation, and soon news about the bidding will spread. Henry's name and other information will not be included, but it will. There is a price for inviting a heroine. In the future, when others want to invite her, they will more or less refer to this price to make their own judgment, which can also provide the heroine with an accurate judgment.
In fact, Henry's behavior is very bad. He gave a high price of 50% higher than the market price he said. In the past, some people thought that the price of opera actresses increased too fast and these people drove up the price. There is a direct relationship, which makes some wealthy people find that the price has exceeded their ability to bear before they have a chance to do anything. This is a very annoying behavior. But on the other hand, how rich people want to spend their money is their own business, no one can control it, right
There were two people when they came and three people when they left. Dulin wanted to refuse Henry's invitation for dinner, but this guy insisted that Dulin have dinner with him. The three of them chose the very luxurious place in Vanlier. A unique restaurant serves as a place for dinner.
After the three of them sat down, Henry ordered dinner, and then looked at the actress, "I am Henry, and this is my good friend Dulin." At the table, Henry introduced himself and Dulin to the actress. It was okay not to introduce him. After his introduction, the actress stared at Du Lin.
"I seem to... know you, Mr. Dulin. News about you is often reported in newspapers." The actress was very enthusiastic. She thought she would have dinner with some greasy middle-aged people today, but she didn't expect that both of them were nice. , especially with a celebrity like Du Lin, fame and celebrity are also things she needs, or it is what all actors need. If a reporter can take a photo of her dining with Du Lin, her worth will increase again tomorrow morning.
Du Lin nodded and said thank you and then remained silent. His indifferent behavior made the actress quickly realize something. She smiled politely, then quietly turned her attention to Henry and started There is more interaction with Henry. She knows exactly what to do when and not for the first time!
The food in the evening was good, and Henry seemed very interested in the actress. After dinner, he invited the actress to go out with him. Of course, all fools know that this may happen overnight.
After dinner, Dulin could finally say goodbye to Henry, the bastard. Of everything that happened today, the dinner was probably the one that left the deepest impression on him. Because Henry only ordered one dish, but the three of them didn't even eat a tenth of it, let alone finish it all.
The name of this dish is "roasted camel". Originally, the restaurant had processed and dismembered camel humps and pieces of meat, but Henry thought it was important to eat fresh ones, so he asked the restaurant to slaughter a small camel on the spot, for which he paid eight dollars. One hundred yuan for meals. Henry may be a fool in the eyes of restaurant operators, but he himself feels that this is a quality life, and in short, he is happy.
The life of a rich person is so fucked up!
After returning home and briefly washing up, Dulin sat in his study in his pajamas. He did not turn on the light and sat on a chair. Dulin's eyes were particularly bright in the darkness. He was playing with the lighter in his hand, but he was thinking about the insurance company in his mind. Mr. Jackson promised to cooperate with Dulin, but he alone was not enough. It can even be said that so far, Dulin's plan for the insurance company is still quite dangerous.
He is gambling now. He bets that when Mags learns about the dispute between him and the two major banks, he will be more inclined to him instead of the two major banks. Only by doing this can the patent he registered can be guaranteed to be effectively used in this dispute, otherwise he may lose. Mr. Jack had given him an accurate reply. The king and queen did not intend to get involved in the insurance company's business. They thanked Dulin for inviting them, but they clearly replied to Dulin that they did not engage in insurance.
This made Dulin a little disappointed. If they agreed, this would become his most powerful trump card, but now it has come to nothing.
