1246 Hot out of the oven
The suspense of the Best Actor in a Musical award was revealed. Renly won the award after being nominated for the first time, and won his first Olivier Award at the age of 23.！
But the award ceremony is still not over, and the five most important awards have not yet been awarded.！
The first person to appear was the best director..
The competition in this department was unimaginably fierce. Most nominated works such as "Top Hat" and "Sweeney Todd" were not even shortlisted for the final stage. The four directors who finally won nominations were from "The Queen Calls" and "Sweeney Todd". The Master and Marguerite," "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time," and "Les Misérables.”.
After the entire award show trend, it can be concluded that the final competition should focus on "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime" and "Les Misérables".
This is also true. "Les Misérables" director John Cord defeated "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog" director Marianne-Elliott and won the Olivier Award for the first time in his career. This also laid the final cornerstone for "Les Misérables" to win tonight.
During his acceptance speech, John was also at a loss and filled with emotion..
John specifically thanked the cast and crew for their hard work, especially Renly, "Thank you Renly Hall. When everyone refused to believe that you were qualified to play Jean Valjean, you did not fear or shrink, but worked day and night. After training and rehearsals, he finally gave a stunning performance that conquered all the audiences and made this play a success..”
As he spoke, John couldn't help but choke up and wiped the tears on his cheeks in embarrassment, "Thank you for your willingness to believe in me, and thank you for your willingness to stand on this stage.".”
“"Les Misérables" made Renly's glory, and in turn, Renly also made "Les Miserables" a classic.
At this point, all individual awards have been awarded, and then it is the turn of the four major drama awards..
Best new drama, "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Night" topped the list without any suspense, defeating strong opponents such as "The Queen Calls" and "The Great One", continuing tonight's acclaimed strong development curve.
Best Revival of a Drama, "Long Day's Journey Into Night" was a moderate upset, with popular works such as "Macbeth", "Twelfth Night" and "Days of Our Lives" all dropped and reduced to mere foils.
For Best New Musical, "Top Hat" took the lead. Several other nominated works could hardly pose a threat. From the side, we can also see that the overall situation in the West End today is not optimistic..
Best Revival of a Musical, "Les Misérables" ended perfectly, easily repelling a number of powerful enemies, and drawing a perfect end to tonight's outstanding performance, officially declaring a victory..
It can be seen from the trend of the four major Olivier Award drama awards that new dramas have fallen into the quagmire, and there are fewer and fewer outstanding works. From creativity to scripts, from conception to stage, they have entered a downturn, and the overall competitiveness is generally Not strong; precisely because of this, the trend of revivals of classic plays led by Shakespeare is on the rise. The enthusiastic popularity of "Les Misérables" in the past year is the best proof..
Objectively speaking, this is not only a dilemma for drama, but also a dilemma for movies and television..
The sharp decrease in original scripts, the sharp increase in adaptation projects and sequel projects, and even the selection of objects for adaptation have begun to further expand. This has gradually become the mainstream trend of artistic creation around the world, especially under the influence of the Internet age and fast food culture , the pace of updating is getting faster and faster, and the difficulty of originality is getting bigger and bigger..
During this year's Olivier Award nomination stage, "Les Misérables" made history with eleven nominations; after tonight's awards ceremony, "Les Misérables" won eight trophies and also made history, breaking the record of "Mattie" "Elda" won a record of seven trophies last year, setting a new record！
The Queen's Theater version of "Les Misérables" has been on stage for twenty-eight years, and now, the Almeida Theater version of "Les Misérables" actually writes history again! Just this reincarnation has already been recorded in the annals of history.
but why？
Because original projects are becoming more and more difficult, adaptation and revival projects are becoming more and more common..
In fact, before the nomination list was released, the call for "The Mysterious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" was rapidly rising, even threatening to overtake "Les Misérables".
People in the industry have said that they should remember to reward original plays and new plays more, encourage artists to continue to create, and everyone can add fuel to the flames, truly reawakening the creative capabilities of the entire industry, and forming a platform for the long-term development of the West District. virtuous circle.
But in the end, the revival of "Les Miserables" still maintained an absolutely strong posture.
The reason is complex yet simple. John Codd's version of "Les Misérables" opened a new door, showing people completely different adaptation techniques and bold and innovative ways of discussion. The old tree blossomed and an old play was revived. vitality.
More importantly, John Corder is not just making a fool of himself. On the basis of the original work, he has started thinking and digging, injecting a new soul, re-examining the classic story from a different perspective, and successfully conquered the audience and drama critics..
This is undoubtedly a crucial revelation for the entire industry! Creation is not limited to new conception and incubation. It can also be a secondary processing of divergent thinking. It can also be an in-depth excavation that changes the angle and truly extracts the width, depth and thickness of the artwork..
Thus, the 2013 Olivier Awards came to a successful conclusion, and "Les Misérables" undoubtedly became the biggest winner with a record-breaking eight trophies.！
Since its opening night last year, "Les Misérables" has received cheers and praises from the industry, changing the status quo of the industry in every aspect; and further, it has spread around the world..
From the West End to Broadway, the strong momentum has been smoothly continued. As the anniversary of the premiere is approaching, the Almeida Theater has also announced a tour schedule for Sweden, Germany, France, Japan, Australia and other parts of the world. The new version "Les Misérables" has also come to more audiences.
Best Revival of a Musical, Best Director, Best Actor in a Musical, Best Supporting Actor in a Musical, Best Stage Direction, Best Stage Design, Best Costume Design, and Best Audience Choice.
With a total of eight trophies, "Les Misérables" has once again become the focus of attention, setting off a storm in the UK. In an instant, all eyes are focused on the Tony Awards two months later..
After landing on Broadway, can "Les Misérables", which is also highly acclaimed and has swept the world, win the favor of the American Theater Association? Can it continue its strong performance beyond the Olivier Awards? Can we usher in another bumper harvest of awards? Can history be set again? The most important thing is——
Renly-Hall.
Can Renly continue his streak and win the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Musical? Can we win the four top awards step by step year by year, and achieve the incredible EGOT in just four years? Can we break the shackles of age again and truly write a new history that no one can surpass?？
It's a bit ridiculous. The list of Tony Award nominees has not been announced yet. It is very possible that Renly has not even been nominated, let alone made history and won an award. It is too much to discuss a "possibility" now. It's too urgent to be anxious, and all discussions are meaningless until the nominations appear..
but that's the fact.
Everyone is talking about it, from Britain to the United States, from Europe to Asia, from the theater industry to the film industry, from entertainment news to social news. In an instant, everyone seems to be aware of the possibility of EGOT, so they have moved on. eyes, joining in the lively discussion, as if they truly understand "what does EGOT mean under the age of twenty-four?".
I am afraid that most people participating in the discussion do not even understand what EGOT specifically refers to..
However, it is also proved from the side that the spread of topics in the era of social networks has taken on a completely new scene. As the most popular young actor today, Renly’s appeal has once again been fully reflected, and related topics have spread throughout the world. Spread across the Internet.
Even ordinary netizens who know nothing about EGOT can’t wait to start Google research, seriously start to understand the background information, and really read all the ins and outs, lest they fall behind the tide of the times, in the heated discussion Left out and unable to keep up.
In a rare occasion, the Olivier Awards and Tony Awards also shined with a brilliance comparable to that of the awards season, triggering heated discussions across society.！
In this regard, the "New Yorker" wrote a special report and launched an in-depth analysis and discussion. They called this phenomenon the "Young Master Effect"”.
“Renly Hall, this name is becoming a sign of the times.
It symbolizes talent and concentration, devoted wholeheartedly to the pursuit and struggle of a specific cause, and in the name of dreams, shining brightly like a moth into a flame..
It symbolizes being focused and going all out, every work is a guarantee of quality, every performance is a guarantee of expectations, and the strong appeal is forming a phenomenal wave..
It also symbolizes maturity, wisdom, elegance and calmness, calmness and self-possession in the bustling fame and fortune fair, refusing to lose oneself or self-indulgence, and always maintaining an innocent heart..
Just as everyone was marveling at the birth of a miracle, from TV to movies, from music to theater, Renly reinterpreted the meaning of an actor, labeling the profession and dream of an actor with his own definition. Different labels; but Renly has put aside the past, looks forward to the future, returns to his job again, and starts anew in a down-to-earth manner..
What’s interesting is that this is an Internet age, where impetuous, eager, restless, uneasy, and turbulent are the keywords; but Renly is slowing down, slowing down, lightening his weight, and walking a path step by step. His own path. This is not his era, but it is his era..
To end with a quote from Renly Hall at the Olivier Awards: Thank God I am really an actor.”
