The first time was Éponine. She was Thénardier's daughter. She fell in love with Marius during the relationship. This song tells the story of Éponine after she learned that Marius and Cosette were in love. , her unrequited love ended in vain, and she felt sad and lonely in her heart; another time was at the end of the play, when Jean Valjean was dying, Fantine's soul appeared, guiding Jean Valjean into heaven, full of sorrow and loneliness Reluctant to leave this world forever.
The melody of the two bridge sections is the same, but the lyrics are different, and the emotions and connotations presented are also different..
In Eponine's bridge, the melodious, sad, full and eloquent melody gives this song a special texture; more importantly, the delicate and profound emotions are unforgettable and sad. Tough, painful but tenacious - a little too much, and you may fall into the trap of self-pity; a little less, and you may get rid of the character's determination to fly into the flames..
This section is an extremely stringent test for actors. The understanding of lyrics, control of singing, release of emotions and control of characters must not be sloppy in every aspect; in addition, the section belongs to Ai The female role of Penny is even more challenging for Renly..
“In comparison, 'Alone' is more challenging and more unconventional. I want to perform Eponine's part. It will completely subvert the minds of the audience watching this audition video." Renly's decision was a carefully considered one..
The biggest difference between now and three years ago is that Renly is a more mature actor. He knows his own strengths and weaknesses. His understanding of the character and his interpretation and analysis of the director have all gone further. So, while recording the audition video, Renly's thoughts became clearer.
After the warm-up exercise was completed, Renly stood directly in front of the camera, exhaling slowly and slowly, settling his emotions bit by bit. The impetuousness and lightness surrounding his body in the air gradually subsided, and the whole The person is in a level state of being unhurried and unhurried, with a blank mind and a calm mind..
Different from film performances, dramatic performances require a complete clearing of the brain, because of the repeated training and the basic skills imprinted in the bones, just like a program, all performances are accurately and profoundly integrated into the blood, and every one The expressions, every line, every action, and even every move are all accurate, as if they are exquisite German instruments..
He has been away from the theater stage for three years, but just closing his eyes, the familiar feeling makes his body start to tremble slightly. There is no tension, only excitement; no complexity, only comfort. Perhaps, this is his comfort zone and the role. It didn't matter, the stage itself made him feel comfortable, as if he belonged here from beginning to end..
Nathan and Roy, standing behind the camera, remained quiet. The two exchanged glances, capturing similar confusion and confusion in each other's eyes..
When filming a movie, Renly always read the script over and over again to get into the character and performance in this way; but today, Renly didn't have a script at all, nor did he look up the arias of "Les Misérables", he just adjusted his breathing.
The silence in the room slowly spread, and Nathan and Roy did not dare to make a sound. They could only stare at each other, at a loss..
“On-My-Own, pretending she is with me..." Closing his eyes tightly, Renly sang softly, melodiously and softly, his hoarse voice slowly gliding through the tranquility, like a boat pushing through the waves. Oar, shallow ripples spread out. There is no special emotion, no special ups and downs, but the mood that is narrated is wrapped in a coldness, loneliness, hesitation, sadness, the faint emotions are among the ripples Fainting, beautiful and touching.
“Walking alone, I will be with her until... dawn." The gentle singing voice paused slightly for a moment when the last word came out. It was only half a breath choked, but in the gently raised corners of the mouth, the bitterness melted away. Bu Lai. Smile and sadness, two completely different emotions, but perfectly combined together, and then saw Renly slowly opening his eyes..
Those deep eyes were full of expression and devotion, as if even the coldness of the night was quietly melting, "She is not here, but I feel her embrace; when I am lost, I close my eyes..." and lowered his eyes. Her eyelids reveal a touch of tenderness in the milky yellow halo, and the corners of her lips are so happy that they are so beautiful that people can’t bear to be alarmed. The romance and devotion of being addicted to love is like a sky full of stars. pouring down, "then she can find me again.”
Without warning, without accompaniment, Renly started singing like this. In just four lines, he vividly displayed the sweetness of love, but the bitterness on his tongue lingered, tender and cold, Happy and sad, the character image has been sketched out without any explanation in words..
Roy didn't even realize it, and slowly stood up straight, straightening his back, full of energy, and looking intently. There was no spotlight, but Renly seemed to have his own spotlight, making the world around him shine. It dimmed, and the whole stage was dominated by him！
Renly took steps towards the left, one step, and another. The slow steps carried a trace of reluctance, as if he could hear the thumping heartbeat, jumping for joy; but the slightly raised face, the smile on the corner of his mouth But there is a little nostalgia and reluctance. The sadness of remembrance and longing is like a mist, covering the whole person with a shallow layer of mist, adding a touch of melancholy..
“Standing in the rain, the silver light shines on the face; the lights of thousands of houses are like the mist on the river; deep in the dark night, the treetops are studded with stars; what I have reduced to is that she and I will stay together forever..”
The smile bloomed; the corners of the eyes shone with tears. In that happy and cheerful smile, faint tears shone in the eyes. Due to the distance, neither Nathan nor Roy could see clearly the mist in the corners of the eyes. , but the light refracted in the pupils, it seemed as if the stars in the sky fell into the eyes, and the calm tears were like the moonlight falling on the river..
The next second, the sparse sadness emerged from the eyes, the smile faded little by little, and the deep eyes became deeper and deeper, feeling lonely and lonely, sad and painful. The light stung my heart, and the pain slowly and slowly faded away..
“I know full well that it's just wishful thinking, I'm talking to myself, not talking to her." The steps suddenly stopped, but the stop was so fierce that the body couldn't help but start to shake slightly. There was no unnecessary movement. , but the extremely tight muscles revealed the turbulent waves deep in his heart, almost suffocating, "Even though I know that I am not in her eyes, I still deceive myself. We have a future.".”
The corner of the mouth was gently pulled, and an arc was drawn, and the bitterness of self-deprecation was too strong to be resolved; when the eyelids were lowered again, one could see the collapse of self-esteem and pride. Secret love and unrequited love, alone, alone, walking forward alone , just like a waltz dancing alone, in the magnificent melody, the steps are elegant and the posture is moving, but loneliness and loneliness are always there..
After falling silent, Renly just stood there in silence, letting the great sadness slowly slip from his shoulders, and then took a step forward, but forced himself to stop, trying to get closer but hesitating with timidity. and hesitation, so that the fingertips couldn't help but curl up, clenched into fists, and screamed in despair deep in the heart.
“I love her, but every time the long night passes, she also leaves, and the river is just river water." He shook his head invisibly, the smile at the corner of his mouth was full of bitterness and pain, and his eyes turned away, as if he couldn't bear to see it. Her happiness. Renly straightened his back and stood up straight again, showing his indomitable attitude, strong and stubborn to maintain his last dignity, "Without her, my world has changed beyond recognition, the leaves have withered, and the streets are filled with only There are only strangers left." But looking around with blank and lost eyes, there was only a void..
He staggered back half a step, but the next time, Renly took two big steps and stepped forward with astonishing momentum. His heart was full of urgency, desire, and determination, which made Nathan and Roy couldn't help but hold their breath, and then clearly - extremely clearly saw the blazing flames in those eyes, rolling in the blue lake water..
“I love her! "It's very convincing, "But, every day I am more awake, and I have been deceiving myself all my life." Falling apart, "Her world is still functioning normally without me." Almost suffocating, "That world is full of happiness, I have never tasted it. Live happily." Falling into the abyss.
Singing heartily, wantonly, and crazily, the emotions deep in his heart burst out continuously. He knew that this was unrequited love that was destined to be fruitless; he knew that this was a secret love that was destined to be unresponsive; he knew that everything , he knew it all. He even knew how stupid, how ridiculous, and how pathetic he was. The full emotions were completely torn apart by the high melody, and the whole room was filled with rolling emotions, deafening..
But...but, what can he do if he knows? He still couldn't control his heart. The singing stopped, and his eyes fell into unprecedented sadness. The turbulent emotions gradually settled down again, but the strong and straight shoulder lines were so fragile, as if even a little dust can completely crush it.
“I love her." After struggling for so long and escaping for so long, he could not betray himself, "I love her." He was firm on this as never before, even if he died without a cure, even if he was alone, even if he was alone, He would never get a response. Even if he was dancing alone in the rain, he still chose to fly into the flame, "I love her." His eyes gradually became firm, and all the confusion, all the pain, and all the struggles were gone. The smoke disappeared, and those deep eyes sparkled again, and the stars in the sky became brighter, "I love her, but it's just wishful thinking.".”
