Chapter 316: Strangers in a Foreign Land
“Because they hide the most funny parts of themselves and want to make the audience happy in the same way as ordinary people.” Chiba Cheng said with deep feeling With.
Don’t the people in the troupe know that the stories they perform are old and not funny?
I definitely know.
But they would rather continue to act like this than use their physical flaws to make people laugh. It is indeed difficult to be poor, but even more difficult is to sell your self-esteem. In this way, they are carefully caring for them. All that's left is self-esteem.
But today, for the sake of Durban, they gave up their only self-esteem and took the initiative to inform the victory team of their shortcomings. This is also the reason why Horii and Shinjo finally gave up on separating Durban and the troupe. They would rather be more troublesome and would rather Take responsibility and bring those people with you.
Human beings are not grass and trees, so how can they be ruthless?
This troupe is a big family composed of people on the margins of society. There is an invisible wall between them and the prosperous world, a wall that cannot be broken through hard work, so they can only stay together to keep warm, because they can ignore it The only one who doesn't care about each other's flaws is each other.
They are unwilling to show their flaws even to a small audience, but are willing to go into newspapers, magazines and even TV to let everyone see the things they least want others to see, and to tell the truth and lies. Fake story?
What's more, there is Durban, which is a part of their big family and they will never give up no matter what. This is why they don't stay in one place, but wander around performing, because If you stay in one place for a long time, the dangers of exposure in Durban will skyrocket.
Once they are on TV and gain attention, more people will stare at them, and Durban will definitely be exposed, so unless they abandon Durban, it is impossible for this troupe to agree to such 'hype'.
After listening to Chiba Makoto’s analysis, Maya also fell silent. She was at the peak of her career, but she was very aware of this. There were spotlights everywhere, she was always worried about sneak shots, and she was so enthusiastic that she asked for flight information and even her home address. fans.
Any little thing will attract great attention, so be cautious in what you say and do, because you don’t know where there will be a camera looking at you, hoping to capture big news, as well as rivals and jealousy There are simply countless kinds of rumors fabricated by journalists.
Nothing in the world is perfect. Whatever you gain, you must lose.
This topic did not continue and turned to "Red Hot Encouragement" sung by Maya. This is a very charming ballad. Chiba Makoto really didn't expect that Maya could complete it so quickly. You know Filling in the blanks is much more difficult than making sentences. After all, sentences can be made casually, but filling in the blanks must be done in conjunction with the context.
Facing the unprofessional compliments, Maya felt that she was treating her as a little girl? Will you be happy just by coaxing?
It seemed quite interesting. I unconsciously raised the corners of my mouth and smiled. Looking at Chiba Makoto, I always felt that he was like a puzzle that could never be solved. When you feel that you have already seen When I got to the answer, I found that there were more unknowns behind.
For example, this song has a nice melody and lyrics, but it was definitely not written by Chiba Makoto, a novice who couldn’t even read music notation. But she had never heard anyone sing it, and she was curious to ask. However, Chiba Cheng said that she was from another world and really treated her like a little girl.
During the pleasant conversation, a black car slowly stopped in front, and the cab window fell down, revealing Lucia, who was dressed in the same style as Maya, and said in fluent language : "We should go back. There is still a lot of work tomorrow." "Lucia, have you learned to drive?" Chiba Cheng was very surprised. How long has it been? Not only did he learn the earth language, but he can also drive. The ability to learn and adapt is quite strong.
Lucia parked the car and said: "It's very simple. I learned it in no time, but the car is so slow. It's not as fast as me."
"Well, you run pretty fast. "Oh, haha!" Chiba Cheng could only laugh. He could run thousands of kilometers in a few hours. This speed is comparable to the Shinkansen. In her eyes, cars and other things are probably as slow as crawling. .
"She is now my bodyguard, assistant and driver," Maya introduced Lucia, who had multiple jobs, and finally asked: "What about you? Have you got your driver's license?"
".Next time for sure." Chiba Makoto, who had long said that he wanted to learn to drive and still rides a motorcycle, was speechless.
Lucia couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw the conversation between the two. After saying hello to Chiba Makoto, she then chattered about Maya's work tomorrow, including a magazine cover shoot, and interviews, and.
In short, the schedule during the concert is basically full, and it is a luxury to be able to spare half an hour to walk and chat here.
Chiba Makoto looked at Lucia who was doing her duty and couldn't help but smile happily. It was great that she could live on this planet.
Maya got into the car, lowered the window and waved goodbye to Chiba Cheng. She turned around and sat down until Chiba Cheng disappeared behind. She sighed slightly, with a bored look on her face. My hands unconsciously grabbed the seat. What I wanted to say and what I wanted to ask were not said out in the end.
Because she is keenly aware of what Chiba has been worrying about. Could it be because of the gap in social status between the two parties? But this means nothing to them. Telepathy can easily obtain money, power, status, etc. that humans can only obtain after going through hardships and hardships.
Last time, she heard the news from those cosmic people that big companies wanted to cut leeks, and she made a fortune, and the psychological implications for human beings made her agent agree to many normal things. Something that would definitely be objected to under the circumstances.
And so on, so the class gap that humans care about is not a problem. For aliens, they are more concerned about strength, because in the dark jungle of the universe, only the strong can survive better.
Lucia, who was driving ahead, glanced at the rearview mirror and looked at Maya who was bored. There was a hesitant look on her face. She hesitated to speak, but finally turned her attention back to the road ahead.
Chiba Makoto, who was behind, looked at the disappearing car and suddenly felt that the three of them were actually the same as the theater troupe that was being abandoned by the times. They were in a world that did not belong to them, carefully hiding themselves and not wanting to be seen. The thing that happened was that they were also hugging each other to keep warm.
"Alas!" Chiba Cheng sighed deeply, suppressed the thoughts in his mind, and began to think about how to deal with the devil from another dimension. He dared to attend the concert here today, and Either following Durban and the Victory Team, or because Ainengmei won't come out in a short time, the Victory Team's bait plan is destined to be in vain.
