Chapter 103: The Royal Ballet of Great Britain performs in the countryside



Although the young master's instructions were to send a lawyer's letter first and ask the other party to apologize, if the other party did not do so, he would use other methods.

But old Carl has a bit of a bad temper.

He had asked his lawyer to personally deliver the lawyer's letter and had waited for a full half hour, but the other party hadn't responded yet and hadn't even printed a new newspaper. How could he tolerate this?

Old Carl couldn't tolerate it, but his status is different now. The young master said that he can't do things as roughly as before.

so……

Old Carl thought of a more tactful way.

Just like now, just find a small local gang with decent strength, teach them a lesson, and then gently "suggest" them to smash up a few printing factories that the other party will use.

As a newspaper company, how can you print newspapers without a printing plant?

I'll cut off your source of income right away, let's see how anxious you are.

Simply cut off their business and see if they will comply. If they don’t, then we can take further measures.

The rear window was opened a little, and the cigarette in his hand floated out through the window.

Those hooligans smashed the printing factory, but it was not Carl who ordered them to do so. They did it voluntarily!

Old Carl thought over his plan, hmm... it was perfect, neither humble nor arrogant, and met the young master's requirements of being civilized and polite.

He felt that he had been very civilized and did not even get out of the car.

On June 1, Children's Day, Alan got up early. Of course, this was not for the holiday. He was already 19 years old and could not celebrate Children's Day. In the future...

Maybe Father’s Day.

As usual, Hut appeared in front of him the moment he opened his eyes.

"What's wrong?"

Hutt was holding a few sheets of printed paper in his hand, and his expression looked a little strange.

"Uh... Master, they apologized in the newspaper and invited several film critics to publish an in-depth review of your movie."

"oh?!"

Hearing this, Alan felt happy. It seemed that there were still some Americans who understood art, and not all of them were unsophisticated.

"Read those reviews to me!" Alan glanced at the maid who was about to wash him, waved his hand to stop her and said, "I want to take a bath later, go and prepare it."

"Yes, Master."

"From a deeper perspective, this film wants to express something that is the strongest cry for liberating women from their shackles. From a cinematographic perspective, both the lighting and the composition are of a very high artistic level. Meryl's acting is a little lagging behind, as she is still a little young. If she were ten years older, I believe she would be able to better express the character's inner thoughts..."

Hut held the fax paper and read aloud with the intonation of a news anchor on TV.

"Okay, okay, switch to the next one!"

Listening to this film review, Allen felt something was wrong. This was an exaggeration... He had a good idea of ​​his own abilities, and this was a bit too much.

"Oh well."

Hut changed the paper, glanced at it and continued reading aloud.

"From a deeper perspective, this film wants to express something that is the strongest cry for liberating women from their shackles. From a photography perspective, both the lighting and the composition are of a very high artistic level..."

"Wait... did you get the wrong one? Why does it seem to have the same content as before?"

"Master...you got it right. It's just this one copy, but several newspapers have published it."

"Um?"

Such a film review should only be published by one publisher, why are several publishers publishing the same one?

"Uh... Karl said that he couldn't find any film reviews in a short period of time, so he forced... no, he asked a newspaper editor to write a film review now."

"???"

Allen frowned slightly and said, "This idiot! How can he do this? It's always the same. Next time... Next time, let him find a few professional film critics to write a few different ones. What a mess!"

"yes……"

"By the way, I remember there is an event to attend today?"

"Yes, sir. The Royal Ballet will be performing here, and the director invites you to attend."

"Hmm...Okay, I'll take a bath and deal with some documents later. I'll go to the show in the afternoon. Go inform the kitchen that I want a light meal today."

"OK!"

The Royal Ballet of Great Britain is named after the royal troupe, so you can imagine the value of this troupe.

It was founded in 1931 and continued to perform during the war. After the war, in 1952, it was officially incorporated and given the royal name.

This dance company is considered one of the four largest ballet companies in the world today.

There are more than a dozen permanent chiefs and five or six visiting chiefs.

There are nearly a hundred other actors of various types, as well as hundreds of support staff including their own stage scriptwriters.

It is a luxuriously configured group.

It is their tradition to perform in Cardiff, the capital of Wales. They also go on tour all over the world.

Now that they have finally arrived in Wales, Alan treats them as a performance in the countryside to expand the spiritual and cultural world of these Welsh country bumpkins.

Allen used to be extremely resistant to these stage plays.

Just like a play, he never watches it and isn't very interested in it.

but……

This thing is different from drama, but they do have a little bit in common.

As long as you discover the beauty of it, or find the angle to appreciate it, you will find that this thing is not as boring as you imagined.

Think of a group of white thighs on the stage.

If you add beautiful women.

Tsk tsk tsk, that's even better.

And now, there is a traitor in the Royal Ballet of Great Britain who is very famous in Europe.

The principal dancer who "transferred" from the Paris Opera Ballet in France and is known for having the most beautiful legs in the world - Sylvie Guillem!

Sylvie Guillem was born in 1965. When she was only 19 years old, she was promoted to principal dancer of the Paris Opera Ballet. Since then, she has become famous all over the world and earned a great reputation.

She became famous for her extremely pure face and long beautiful legs.

But it is said that this person's personality is inversely proportional to his appearance.

In order to rebel against some of the unspoken rules of the troupe leader at the time, he angrily "transferred" and defected to the Royal Ballet of Great Britain.

Considering the grievances between the two countries, both at the high level and among the people, Sylvie Guillem's behavior can be considered very rebellious and bold.

But it was her rebellious behavior that raised her fame to a new level.

For such an actor, if his fame reaches a certain level, he should be considered a big star.

Alan had seen a clip of her dancing on TV before and was briefly attracted by her small oval face.

but……

Alan had never thought about pursuing her, mainly because she was touring all over the world and he didn't have the energy to pursue such a canary.

But now...

She's already at her doorstep. As the Earl of Carmarthen, it's not too much to ask me to invite her to a simple meal, right?

The performance officially started at 3pm, but ordinary audiences began to enter the venue at around 1am.

The scene was so exciting that Alan arrived half an hour early and walked to the exclusive private room in the aristocratic area.

The viewing angle here is excellent, with a bird's-eye view, and you can have a panoramic view of the entire stage.

The theater manager stood beside Allen holding a list and said, "Sir... This is the list of guests. Who do you think you should start with?"

We don't meet each other normally, or if we meet in parliament, we just say hello or something like that.

But in this kind of social theater, the nobles or the upper class, seeing the greatest noble in the region coming in person, would come to pay their respects and make themselves known to him.

These people will compile a list based on status or first come first served, and then hand it over to the person in charge of the theater, asking him to take the list and go in to see the Count to see who he wants to choose and see first.

Allen can choose not to meet them, but they must clearly express their desire to meet Mr. Allen!

In this situation, whoever doesn't do it will stand out.

Everyone loves His Excellency the Earl so much, but you are the only one who wants to stay away from him. Do you have any problem with His Excellency the Earl?

The people of the Hill family generally have bad tempers, but they dare to think and act.

"No, no, I'm tired. Go tell their leader to inform Miss Xiwei. I want to have dinner with her after the performance."

Alan was so impatient that he didn't even want to look at the list.

It's just some rotten fish and shrimp, raising dogs...

Just pick a few that are good-looking, loyal, and can bite people and raise them.

If you raise too many dogs, you won’t be able to take care of them all. If there are too many dogs, even the dogs themselves will have complaints, which will affect unity.

After just half an hour of waiting, the lights in the audience area slowly dimmed, and the lights on the stage slowly brightened, and the performance - was about to begin!

As the curtain slowly opened, many scene props were placed on the stage. Alan raised his eyebrows. Although he knew today's program, he was still very happy to actually see this show.

This one, how should I put it, is a drama for all ages. The actors have to wear props and play various furry animals.

Among them, the rabbit has been enduring and has become very famous in the future. He is the famous Peter Rabbit.

When many people watch this kind of drama for the first time, they will think it is a children's drama, or a joke, anyway, it is very magical.

But it is a real drama!

A very serious drama with a bit of fairy tale feel.

But Alan didn't like the rabbit. His favorite was the white duck with a scarf and a hat that appeared first at the beginning!

This white duck is also very special. Her name is Jemima. She is a kind-hearted female duck and very enthusiastic towards people. However, she is often deceived by others. However, every time she is deceived, she never learns her lesson and always remains kind and enthusiastic without forgetting her original intention.

Alan often compares her to himself. He is the same, very kind and enthusiastic towards people.

So Alan liked this female duck named Jemima very much.

The first short story at the beginning is about Jemima being deceived by the fox again.

And Alan's eyes were only focused on the duck legs in yellow stockings, which were so thin and long.

The performance was going on on the stage, and in the dressing room backstage, the band leader walked up to Sylvie Guillem hesitantly, holding a piece of paper.

"Oh... Xiwei, we are in a bit of trouble."

"What's wrong, Captain?"

"You see, there is a noble who wants to invite you to dinner after the performance."

Xiwei frowned and took the small note from the leader's hand, which contained the general information of the inviter.

Alan Hill, 19 years old, hereditary Earl of Carmarthen, handsome.

After such a simple introduction, Sylvie Guillem shook the paper in her hand, looking somewhat accustomed to it, as she had performed everywhere with the troupe in recent years.

What kind of big shot has she not met?

From ordinary poor people to princes and princesses from various countries, and even people of higher status.

She had encountered all of these before, and in her opinion, a situation like today's was just a small one, so she could just refuse it.

Many people would think she is a small and cuddly woman when they see her appearance, but Xiwei actually has a very bad temper, especially when facing a pervert whose purpose is obviously not pure. However, since she was invited, it is reasonable for the leader to give these invitations to her and let her deal with it herself.

"Captain, I need to rest after the performance. Please refuse it for me."

As usual, Xiwei rejected it straightforwardly. Facing such a dog, she had no interest in meeting him. As for the description of his appearance on the note, what about handsome appearance? Haha...

Eleven out of ten nobles described themselves as handsome, but when they actually met in person, they were just so-so.

"Hmm... Xiwei, this noble is a little different today."

"oh?"

The captain's words aroused Sylvie Guillen's interest a little, and she uttered a slight question.

"It is said that he has a bad temper and is very rude. Although our current location is not within his territory, it is not far away... If he really wants to mess around, we will be in big trouble."

"Hmph! I get it. Then I'll personally reject him after the performance. I'll let him know what inferiority is. He won't be able to do everything he wants just because he's a noble."

Sylvie Guillem raised her neck like a proud little swan. Since she couldn't reject him privately, she would meet him and reject him in person. She wanted to see what kind of nobleman he was, who was handsome, had a bad temper and behaved rudely.

"Okay... then I'll reply over there." The team leader was a little helpless, but although Sylvie Guillem looked young, she was actually very opinionated. Since she had made up her mind, let her be.

The first stage play ended. Alan clapped happily, turned his head, looked at Hutt who was wearing glasses and looked a little sleepy, and said, "Hutt, do you think we can have our own ballet company?"

Hut was instantly awakened by Allen's thought!

He was extremely uncomfortable with the way the audience performed with props, and he didn't like watching it, so he secretly closed his eyes for a while while watching with Alan.

We have only had money for a few days, and our young master wants to support a ballet troupe again?

This is a large group of hundreds of people. Just supporting so many people is a huge expense, not to mention all kinds of equipment and vehicles. Although there are enough rooms at home, it is not possible to have such a big event, right?
