The scene of the fourth act of Giant Lake.
"Dorothy, it's time to open."
The bald manager urged anxiously.
In fact, the start time of the fourth act was half an hour later than scheduled.
Dorothy does not use a separate dressing room, but shares a room with other actors in the repertory troupe, which is convenient for word matching and rehearsal.
The dressing room is not big, but it is full of people, most of whom are young girls who have put on their makeup and are waiting for the performance to start.
In addition, there are many grotesque stunt performers, such as an ugly dwarf, a fat woman weighing more than 400 catties, with two heads, a hump on the back, a strange old man who walks like a monkey, and no Hands and feet, a thin young man lying in a wheelchair
Freak show actors were all the rage in the white world at that time. The audience used the physical defects of the freak show actors and exaggerated physical performances to satisfy their curiosity-seeking psychology. Many of these actors were rich and famous, but more freak show actors followed the circus and lived a miserable life.
Occasionally, major repertory troupes will have one or two stuntmen from freak shows to play some unorthodox buffoons, but not many.
It is rare for a top repertory troupe like Dorothy to employ so many freak show actors.
Dorothy looked at the newly painted lipstick in the mirror, and nodded in satisfaction to the makeup artist behind her. The makeup artist understood and covered the whole mirror with a red cloth.
The actress, who was popular halfway around the world, turned her chair and showed a gentle smile on her face: "I see, sir, I'll go right away. You can notify the curtain now."
The bald manager reluctantly agreed, then turned and left.
Dorothy rushed to the corner to rest her eyes and closed her eyes. The handicapped man without hands and feet said, "Talia, let's start."
Thalia, with messy flaxen hair, just opened his eyes. His face was painted with white makeup and red lips, and his neck was resting on a wheelchair made of wood and steel. He asked suspiciously: "Do you want The Chinese who was waiting, hasn’t he come yet?”
Dorothy frowned and shook her head: "I'm really sorry for making everyone wait so long."
"Don't say that, Dorothy. As long as it is your wish, everyone will find a way to help you realize it."
The hunchbacked old man squealed.
"Thank you, Bansha." Dorothy smiled: "Talia, come on stage, the audience can't wait."
Thalia nodded. He turned his neck vigorously, and opened his mouth to bite a thing on the chair that was connected by a soft spring and shaped like a harmonica. Then he put the "harmonica" in his mouth, and groped for the metal particles on it with his tongue, only to hear a chuck, and a white steam spewed out from the left and right of the wheelchair under him, and then the wheelchair began to move forward slowly .
Hasty footsteps sounded, and the girl in the gypsy cap came in hurriedly: "Dorothy, here he is."
Dorothy was overjoyed when she heard that: "Finally caught up."
Thalia, who had already walked to the door, had a "harmonica" in her mouth, and could only complain vaguely: "Stay out of the way, little girl."
The girl stepped aside hastily.

"You should have come earlier, Mr. Li."
The girl led Li Yan into the auditorium, complaining in a low voice.
"I have something else to do, so I was delayed."
Li Yan explained.
Amidst the exciting music and heavy drums, the curtain finally opened.
The man without limbs looked around and cleared his throat: "That was the great age when the sons of steam cleaned the world. They made immortal achievements and brought mankind to a new chapter."
Li Yan raised his head in the man's increasingly impassioned voice, huge mercury vapor lamps were erected everywhere in the theater, Dorothy's girls were turning the lampposts, no one noticed, on those lamp tubes carved with countless facets, every A black cloak emerged from every facet
After a slight dizziness, Li Yan slowly opened his eyes, and was surrounded by a desolate Gobi Desert.
A heavy wrench hit Li Yan's face!
Li Yan quickly took it in his hand.
Jane raised her head from under the car pedestal. She was wearing a light-colored vest, showing her beautiful figure at a glance, but the sporadic blood spots and oil stains on her body ruined this beauty.
The "steam princess" gritted her teeth and scolded Li Yan on the car: "If you face a group of rogues with more than a dozen people, you only know to abandon your companions and run for your life. At least when she is repairing the car, you should know to come and hand it over to her." a wrench"
Li Yan knew that he had missed (acted) one scene. Judging from the original identity of the little apprentice he played, he really couldn't help the heroic "Steam Princess". Some embarrassing performances greatly reduced Jane's impression of herself, which is also reasonable.
In the third act, Jane and "Liang Hui" fled the kingdom. Apart from being chased by guards along the way, they were occasionally attacked by robbers. In the third act in which Li Yan was absent, the fairy tale character "Liang Hui" But leaving Jane to escape alone, the steam car of the two was also damaged.
Li Yan jumped off the steam car, faced Jane's ridicule without saying a word, just squatted beside Jane silently, and handed her various repair tools.
"Chivalry is honor, perseverance, loyalty and pride, but you treat him like nothing. I don't know why you were able to infiltrate the royal arsenal with your courage and skill, and you dare to say that you want to pursue me. ?”
After a long time, the steam car finally started to run again. Jane neatly climbed out from under the car, opened the door and sat on the driver angrily.
Seeing this, Li Yan returned to his seat.
"Next time, I will never save you."
Jane had a cold face.
The steam car restarted, and it gradually drove into a desolate town through the black and green cacti along the way.
Li Yan nodded after listening.
Jane glanced at Li Yan: "Are you too ashamed to speak?"
"Yes, Your Highness. I am ashamed, and I am reflecting."
"That's good."
Jane yelled loudly. She unloaded a semi-automatic revolver from her "Unicorn" gauntlet, and stuffed it into Li Yan's hand: "If you encounter bandits again, shoot at them without aiming. This is enough to scare them. I can't give you the net shooter. Judging from your poor performance in the arena, you will definitely net me with the enemy. This is already the border of the kingdom, and monsters may appear at any time. I don't have the extra energy to protect you."
"Thank you, Your Highness."
Li Yan lowered his head.
Seeing Li Yan's appearance, although Jane was still angry, she couldn't say anything more.
The steam car went deep into the town, and finally stopped in front of a hotel with a horse plate.
"Rest here today, get off."
Jane walked into the hotel first, and the two doors rattled back and forth.
Li Yan looked around and sniffed lightly with his nose. He smelled a faint smell of blood, so he pretended to be nonchalant and entered the hotel.
