The Publisher, seized with nostalgic memories, approached the building of the theater.
A video clip was shooting nearby.
Some guy was looking out the back window of the car. There was rap. Some kind of spotlight went off. In sounding of a rap there came the pause.
The back door of the car swung open, the guy jumped out.
- Very interesting, - said the Publisher ("we need to encourage the creative processes of the younger generation").
- The rap is the future, - the Rapper surely said.
- I closer to books, to theater... - not very confidently Publisher spoken.
But the Rapper has already switched to another topic.
He was approached by one of the assistants with a sheet of paper.
The assistant was reading from sheet a phrases. The Rapper was moving his lips.
"He converts the heard text into rap," - the Publisher assumed.
"Only having begun to work in this world, you understand as far as it is difficult", - the assistant read.
"Melodiously", - the Publisher estimated.
Meanwhile the assistant continued:
"...In 99.9 percent of cases you will not succeed. The risk is enormous. Very few of those, who succeed."
"Enormous risk
Nobody achieves a success", - the heard words by itself transformed in a white verse, at the Publisher.
"The profession is very tough, in it there is no middle - or you have to make success, or lost. Unfortunately, here it is not enough only talent. The huge role is played by luck", - the assistant continued.
"Profession hard,
There is no a midway.
Or success,
Or you lost.
No talent?
Bet on a luck " - began to whisper, like a Rapper, Publisher.
"...Shared his first experience of directing the debut film... " - heard the voice of the assistant. - "...Admitted that I am very glad to have a career in the film industry. ... In his youth he almost became a criminal and a bandit." "All the actors who were invited to shoot in the film, worked for free."
"With the debut movie I receive
Experience of director's work.
To work in the film industry I am glad,
To become the criminal and the bandit? why?
For a start
Invited actors
will work for me for free", - the Publisher whispered.
"...Businessmen stole budgetary funds for construction and restoration of objects ...", - the assistant approached to eyes a sheet of paper for convenience of reading.
"Budgetary funds were abducted
During building and restoration of objects of culture", - the Publisher was concentrated on creative process.
"Plunders happened by overestimate of the prices...;... the kickback was a constant condition..."
"Overpricing cascade.
Want a riding?
Do the rollback!"
"Bolshoi Drama Theater of Tovstonogov" ... - words familiar to the Publisher were heard. However, earlier, in the past, this theater was called in a different way.
"Sovremennik theater" ... - the assistant continued reading.
"Sovremennik theatre.
Great BDT
drumt. " - Publisher tried to catch a rhyme.
"...Requests to the press service of the Ministry of culture...'
'Requests. Presses.
Services. Cultures " - Publisher continued to experiment.
"...The episodes are investigated...'
"The year of creation of criminal community, the investigation considers 2011...'
"Episodes are investigating.
Communities are generating" - Publisher rhymed.
Suddenly, at the place of filming the video began some movement.
Car, from which the Rapper jumped a few minutes ago, passed in reverse and drove up to the Rapper. The back door swung open. The Rapper appeared inside the car.
The Publisher thoughtfully looked at the theater building with nostalgia. In the past, the theater was named differently.
Between houses the echo vibrated: "... Percent ..." "It is not enough only talent" ... "Risk is enormous ..."
