幕启·七十一

加文派专车把梁皖妮接到了自己家里。

加文坐在沙发上，两手搭在扶手上，翘着二郎腿，叫梁皖妮站到他面前。

“Side... Turn around... Good, that's it.”

梁皖妮感觉像是被用来展示的商品，很不自在。

不久，百老汇的导演带着一个助理来了。

加文从沙发上跳下来：“Mr Wilson, this is Wonnie Leung I mentioned to you this day. Leung, this is John Wilson.”

梁皖妮微笑着倾了倾身子。约翰背着手，打量了她一番，不动声色地点了点头。

加文和约翰坐在长沙发上，梁皖妮不知所措地站在他们面前。

约翰问：“What roles have you played?”

梁皖妮报了一些，加文再替她补充了一下。助理在一旁飞快地记下。

“Can you sing?”约翰又问。

“Not very good at it.”梁皖妮回答。

加文在一旁给她使眼色，仿佛在责备她太实诚了。

约翰却反而笑了，说：“Can you sing excerpts from Madama Butterfly? Give it a try.”

梁皖妮硬着头皮唱了一段。

约翰给助理打了个手势，又问梁皖妮：“Can you dance?”

加文在一旁急忙说：“She performed ballet in the opera version of Swan Lake. If you want to watch it, I have a video here.”

“We'll talk about it later. Leung, tell me what role you want to play.”

梁皖妮还是老话：“I'm not picky about roles. I can play whatever role you think I'm suitable for.”

助理继续唰唰地记着。

约翰身体前倾，严肃地看着梁皖妮，说：“The following is very important. Miss Leung, you must answer truthfully. Mr Smith, if you hear something you don't want to hear, please don't be angry or sad.”

“What?”梁皖妮和加文都感到很奇怪。

“If you were selected to tour Broadway, would you like to stay there? Or go back to Old Vic?”

梁皖妮和加文都愣住了。

加文比梁皖妮更加震惊。约翰前天晚上根本没有问任何一个人这个问题。他怎么突然想到要问了？
