American TV series: Starting with exploiting young Sheldon

Hearing his wife's arrangement, George nodded and said with a smile, "Okay, I will protect my angel."

Seeing her husband's sudden declaration of love, Mary smiled knowingly.

Then, she looked at Mike, who hadn't said a word, and asked, "Mike, you should be able to come and help that day, right?"

Actually, Mary wasn't very confident about the plans for "Angel's House." Therefore, she desperately needed a catchy "selling point."

And the handsome Mike fits this requirement perfectly.

With him around, he's sure to attract the girls' attention.

Chapter 159 Preparations

"I'm sorry, but I think I have other plans for that day," Mike said, declining the offer.

Although he doesn't have any specific plans for Halloween yet, with Katie and the other girls around, he's sure to have a busy day.

"Please, Mike. The church service on Halloween will only last until midnight, after which you'll have plenty of private time." Mary was still unwilling to let Mike, her "trump card," go.

Compared to other family members, Mike was significantly more important to Mary's activities.

Who can blame him when he's a "face genius"?

Seeing Mary's expectant expression, Mike thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll go back and think about it, and then I'll give you an answer."

Mike actually wanted to talk to Katie and the other girls first to see if they could reschedule the event for after midnight.

After all, it's Christmas, which lasts all night.

Seeing that Mike had agreed, Mary didn't rush things. She smiled and said, "I'll wait for your good news."

After that, Mary's plans for the church's Christmas activities were basically finalized. Then, everyone began to enjoy dinner.

Just then, Missy raised her little hand and said with dissatisfaction, "Mom, you haven't asked for my opinion yet!"

When everyone was discussing just now, they did indeed overlook the little girl.

Mary glanced at her youngest daughter with amusement, then asked in a conciliatory tone, "So, Missy, would you like to help Mommy?"

“Of course~” Missy, who had received enough attention, said with satisfaction, “I can dress up as a little angel and follow Mike around.”

The little girl's straightforward remarks elicited a burst of good-natured laughter.

After dinner, Mike called Katie and the others to discuss how to spend Halloween.

But it seemed the girls in the "Devilish Figures" group had planned this all along. They told Mike to meet at Karen's house a little later on Halloween, saying there would be a surprise.

As for what the surprise was, no matter how much Mike asked, the girls in the "Devil Body Group" refused to reveal a single detail.

surprise???

Unable to fathom the thoughts of the girls in the "Devilish Figures" group, Mike shook his head and then called Lina again.

According to Lina, she needs to spend Halloween with her parents.

So, Mike's schedule on Halloween is just right. He can go help out at "Angel's House" first, and then go to Karen's house to welcome the surprise.

The next day, after Mike told Mary that he had agreed to help, he was immediately taken to the church by her.

The church has a large area available for Halloween events. Due to previous years' events, there's already a large "House of Hell" exhibit here, and outside that is a large exhibition hall that can be used to raise funds for the church.

So now, all Mary needs to do is change the name of "House of Hell" and build a "House of Angels" site next to it, and her plan will be complete.

Mike's main task today was to measure his body size and then have someone design a special angel outfit for him.

Yes, Mary, who already considers Mike her "ace," attaches great importance to this part.

Moreover, the church would reimburse the expenses for this event, so Mary didn't have much of a burden when she did it.

Just as Mike finished taking the measurements and Mary was discussing the design with the costume designer, Mr. Randy came over.

“Mary, I don’t think ‘The House That Haunted’ is as good as ‘The House of Hell.’ I strongly insist that the name be changed back.” Mr. Randy was clearly a man with artistic tastes.

Moreover, compared to the previous name, it was indeed more intuitive and appealing.

“No, I’m the chief planner of this event, and I’m responsible for it…” Mary said firmly, as if she was ready to replace her if the task couldn’t be completed.

“Alright, you’re the boss,” Mr. Randy conceded. But soon, he added excitedly, “I plan to divide the activities over there into seven units, following the pattern of the Seven Deadly Sins…”

The seven deadly sins are: pride, envy, wrath, sloth, greed, gluttony, and lust.

It must be said that Mr. Randy is indeed an artist; his mind is truly sharp.

His plan is to use the most realistic scenes of the Seven Deadly Sins to let the viewers personally experience the horror of these sins.

“Your idea is very good…” Mary was convinced after hearing the other party’s overall plan. However, she still suggested in the end, “Actually, the scene doesn’t have to be so realistic.”

The Seven Deadly Sins sound terrifying, and if it were too realistic, Mary was afraid it would frighten children.

"Why?" Mr. Randy, who had a great appreciation for art, couldn't understand Mary's idea at all.

“Let me put it this way…” Mary explained, “I’ve heard that in previous Halloween events, some women who participated got pregnant because of their erotic performances. So, I don’t want that to happen at any of the events I’m organizing.”

Upon hearing such explosive news, Mr. Randy was quite surprised. Then he said, "Okay, your reasoning convinces me. I'll have the actors tone it down this year."

Having made his promise, Mr. Randy was about to leave when he suddenly saw the handsome Mike standing to the side.

As the instructor of the school's drama club, Randy also knew Mike, a popular figure at school. So, he enthusiastically invited him, "Mike, would you be interested in participating in my performance? I have a role that would be perfect for you."

Judging from his appearance, he probably wants Mike to go over there and perform sex acts.

With Mike's face alone, he only needs a little bit of acting to absolutely arouse women's fantasies.

Before Mike could refuse, Mary spoke up first: "Randy, don't even think about it. Mike is the one I specially invited to play the angel."

"That's a real shame," Mr. Randy said, looking disappointed. Then he added, "However, he's quite suitable to play an angel. Perhaps I can design a few movements for him..."

This time, Mike and Mary did not refuse his kindness.

Randy, as expected of a drama club teacher, explained to Mike the necessary qualities of an actor, covering everything from facial expressions to body language.

[Performance +66]...[Performance +55]...

Mike crushed several skill orbs he had picked up from Mr. Randy. This made him look at the drama club teacher, who wasn't particularly handsome, with newfound respect.

The other party is indeed a capable person. You know, the last time Mike picked up so many skill orbs was from the Chameleon.

Coincidentally, Mike also gained a lot of performance experience that time.

As a result, his performance skills have now reached the mid-level of the second tier, which is a level where he can perform on stage.

On the other side, Mr. Randy was also amazed by Mike's acting talent. He asked with burning eyes, "Mike, have you ever studied acting before?"

"No, but I've looked into it a little..." Mike made up an excuse.

“It’s okay if you don’t have one yet, there’s still time.” Mr. Randy looked at the rough diamond and invited again, “Would you like to join my school’s drama club? Believe me, with just a little effort, you will definitely become a great performing artist.”

Theatrical performance?

This reminded Mike of Randy's cringe-worthy performance on the stage last time.

Moreover, even without that experience, Mike wasn't particularly interested in formally studying acting. So he declined, saying, "Thank you for the invitation, Mr. Randy. However, I have no intention of formally studying acting."

"Alas, what a pity~" Seeing the unpolished gem before him, yet unable to be carved, Mr. Randy couldn't help but sigh heavily.

The last time he expressed such sentiments was when Sheldon Jr. left the drama club.

Chapter 160 Creation

"Would Mike be interested in watching my rehearsal?" Despite being rejected twice, Mr. Randy did not give up on his plan to recruit Mike into the drama club.

Right now, all he's thinking about is getting to know Mike better, letting him experience the charm of performing, and maybe that will change Mike's mind.

After witnessing Mr. Randy's enthusiasm, Mike also began to have some of his own little schemes.

Judging from the current situation, Mr. Randy, who has always been full of enthusiasm, is the person most likely to contribute his skills and experience at this stage.

Although the "acting" skill is not very useful to Mike, who would complain about knowing more?

As the saying goes, it's always good to have many skills.

Seeing Mike looking over, Mary smiled and said, "If you want to go, then go take a look over there. We don't need your help here anymore."

Mike's measurements were complete, and his costume design was basically finalized. So, there really wasn't much for him to do if he stayed at "Angel's House."

"Come with me, I'll show you my new show, you won't be disappointed..." Mr. Randy could tell that Mike was interested, so he seized the opportunity and led him to "The Haunted House".

Meanwhile, Mr. Randy had already divided the "The Eye" into seven cubicles. Each cubicle contained several actors who had been temporarily recruited from the street.

It's clear that Mr. Randy had a complete plan for his show before he went to see Mary.

Starting with the "Pride" episode, Mr. Randy deliberately created a short storyline for each episode in front of Mike to better illustrate the seven deadly sins.

After a brief period of instruction, the extras were quickly able to perform their roles convincingly.

"What do you think of my show, Mike?" Mr. Randy asked with a hint of pride after rehearsing seven short storylines.

Mr. Randy certainly has reason to be proud that he was able to complete the program so quickly and make it look so professional.

"It's alright," Mike replied modestly.

In reality, he was admiring Mr. Randy's professionalism.

Just recently, Mike had gained a lot of acting experience from Mr. Randy.

Now his acting skills have successfully reached level three, meeting the threshold of a professional actor.

By analogy, Mike could now directly play the male lead in idol dramas or soap operas.

So, in some ways, Mr. Randy's performance skills are even more professional than George's football skills.

After all, it took Mike quite a while to reach level three in football skills after learning from George.

Seeing Mike's indifferent reaction, Mr. Randy assumed he was questioning his professionalism. So he said, "The program isn't complete yet. It will definitely be better with background music later..."

Mr. Randy, who was only thinking about how to get Mike into the drama club, never considered that Mike's indifferent attitude was actually an attempt to squeeze more money out of him.

Then, Mr. Randy continued, "I just happen to have some inspiration for the background music for the show. Now, let's compose it!"

As a performer, Mr. Randy possesses a kind of "crazy" energy.

Next, Mr. Randy, with his exceptional execution skills, took Mike to a makeshift music room.

This music room is not large and the environment is not particularly good, but it has all the necessary instruments.

Soon, Mr. Randy, engrossed in his work, forgot about Mike's presence.

He first wrote down a few short pieces of music on a draft paper, and then tried playing them on different instruments.

……

[Music +88]...[Music +66]...

Watching Mr. Randy constantly making corrections in front of his instrument, and Mike gaining a lot of experience, I got to know this "hairy-legged" drama club teacher in a new light.

In the arts, he is absolutely a true genius.

As the experience orbs continued to accumulate, Mike's music level quickly reached level two.

The music level here includes not only singing skills, but also abilities such as composing and writing music.

In addition to Michael's existing abilities of a memory palace and perfect pitch, he could easily become a creative genius in the music industry if he wanted to, thanks to his vast mental repertoire of songs.

……

It was already afternoon when Mary's arrival interrupted Mr. Randy's work.

"Is noon already over?" Mr. Randy scratched his receding hairline, then glanced at Mike, who had been keeping him company all morning, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, I was so focused just now. I made you miss dinner..."

Yes, Mary came here to call Mike home for dinner.

“It’s okay. I think it’s worth it to see such a wonderful live creative process,” Mike said with a smile.

In fact, he now has a bit of respect for Mr. Randy, who has been focused on creating all morning.

Seeing Mike's expression, Mr. Randy smiled with relief.

Later, seeing that the situation was suitable, he did not forget his original intention and invited Mike to join his drama club again.

"I'll think about it some more." This time, Mike didn't refuse outright.

“Your situation is something we should really think about.” Mr. Randy also realized that Mike had excellent grades in both academics and sports at school.

For a multi-talented person like Mike, planning his future path definitely requires careful consideration.
