922 surrender to it
Applause, crazy applause, thunderous applause, sweeping over like a tsunami.
How many years has it been since London’s West End saw such enthusiastic applause? Even when a play actually ends, they have not felt such enthusiasm for many years, enough to make the five hundred and fifty audience members forget themselves and go crazy; however, "Les Misérables" is only the end of the first act..
This is really incredible; but it is actually happening.
Arthur Hall stood up. Not out of politeness, but out of exclamation. The Renly standing on the stage did not seem to be the brother he was familiar with. He was so unfamiliar that he was almost unrecognizable. Not because His makeup, but because of the vitality in his eyes.
That majestic vitality injects a unique temperament into the character and the performance. Arthur is a little envious of Renly like this..
This is the first time Arthur has seen Renly's performance with his own eyes. In previous movies, Arthur had no interest and would not watch them; but today, for the first time, Arthur truly felt the burning passion in Renly's body. , he seemed... he seemed to be born for acting. It was precisely because of this enthusiasm that Renly left home decisively and headed for the other side of the Atlantic. It was also because of this enthusiasm that Renly became an outlier in the Hall family, causing a series of triggers.
In aristocratic life, they do not allow this kind of passion to exist. But now, Arthur sees the brilliance of Renly, and he finally understands what Edith said. "I envy Renly, and I also admire him." Renly. Because I can never be Renly. In him, he has what we have all lost..”
When he saw Renly accelerating at full speed, rushing towards the front of the stage like a moth to a flame, bursting out with such a powerful momentum that he would not hesitate to break his body. Arthur admitted that he was frightened, so scared that his heart stopped beating. Such emotions are impossible to exist in upper class society, and are even forbidden..
But then, Renly took control, and it seemed that everything was never really out of control. Then, that powerful force rushed towards him..
Before he realized it, Arthur stood up, clapped hard, and clapped wildly. He couldn't even remember the last time he felt so shocked in London's West End. It seemed that all the previous performances and all the plays were at this moment. Become insignificant and dim.
After being impulsive, years of discipline and education finally restrained his body movements. He turned his head and saw the Dunlop family and the Dormer family sitting in the next box. In the dimness and the crowd, Eaton's figure was a little blurry. , can only capture Matthew in the front.
At this time, Matthew stood tall and straight, like a green pine, clapping vigorously with both hands, and his eyes also burst out with a similar light, a light that Arthur envied..
Then, Arthur noticed the excitement and madness in the entire Almeida Theater. All the audience stood up, and the overwhelming applause could not stop at all. It was continuous and mighty, whirling and whirling again, because this was The only way, the only way to relieve the intense emotions in your chest.
As time goes by, the applause not only does not weaken, but also shows signs of continuing to increase. This is really, really incredible..
His eyes finally fell on the figure beside him, Elf Hall.
Elf also stood up, but her demeanor was so elegant, elegant and classical, quiet and calm. However, this elegance amidst the boiling enthusiasm in the audience was a little... cold, like an iceberg. , surrounded by the gurgling volcanic lava, still unmoved.
Arthur and Elf have known each other all their lives. He can feel Elf's mood swings. Under the calm appearance, he can smell Elf's panic and shock. The surging emotions are running rampant; he can The surprise and astonishment captured in Elf's eyes were even more obvious in the dim light. However, these excitements were all hidden under the frost..
In the end, she was still applauding gracefully like a noble, without enthusiasm or fireworks. She couldn't even hear the sound of flapping her hands. It was just a decent and perfect lady's manners; her head raised high, her strong and upright posture. Backbone seems to be maintaining the dignity of his nobility and the dignity of the name "Hall"..
At this moment, Arthur tasted a hint of bitterness and sadness.
Arthur knew that everyone was paying attention to every move of the Hall family. If they were too excited or admired too much, it would not only be a loss of attitude, but also an admission of defeat to Renly. There was no need to wait until tomorrow. , after tonight's performance, the Hall family will become a joke.
Therefore, Elf, who represents the Hall family, must hide all her emotions and only send polite responses; her arrogant posture still draws a clear line between them and expresses the position of the Hall family: We still disdain such performances and actors.
Elf, no choice; Elf, perfect performance.
Renly, who performed perfectly, and Elf, who performed perfectly, fell into Arthur's eyes, but they outlined a ridiculous and sad arc, quietly hidden in the shadows, no one knew. Looking back again, looking at the people under the spotlight Renly, the lights gradually dimmed, and he could only vaguely outline his body shape, but like never before, Arthur felt a little envious..
Deep down, Arthur felt a little embarrassed. George and Elizabeth did not see this scene. He sincerely thought that they should see this scene..
In the balcony box next door, Henry Dunlop bumped his brother with his elbow and asked in a low voice, "Jesus Christ, has Renly always been so talented?？”
Matthew turned around and saw Henry's confused face.
Among the London aristocracy, the Hall family's statement to the outside world has never changed: Renly resigned himself to depravity and went to Hollywood to associate with ordinary entertainment stars. He had no talent or talent and could only rely on his appearance to occupy a place..
For nobles, movies are one of the means of entertainment, but they are not on the daily choice list. Renly has appeared in many works and made a lot of news, but it is a bit surprising that most nobles have never watched Renly's movies. works, but this is a fact.
The smile on Matthew's lips slightly raised, and then he pursed it, "He is a genius." He said this. There were no unnecessary modifications, and the words were extremely concise, but they were enough..
Henry retracted his jaw and said, "I believe it." Immediately afterwards, Henry's applause became more enthusiastic, expressing his inner admiration..
Today, the Almeida Theater version of "Les Misérables" premieres. Andre, Matthew and Eaton have completely developed their own connections. More than two-thirds of London's aristocratic families have received at least one invitation letter.
Perhaps it was because of the aristocratic social occasion, or maybe it was because of the mentality of watching the Hall family's show. This premiere has become the most popular event in London's upper class in May. Those who have not received The nobles who received the invitation were all filled with indignation and looked lonely - because they were not the most popular social center group..
But no matter what mentality you have, at this moment, the situation in the Dunlop family's box is going on in full swing——
The youngest son of the Hall family is making a stunning appearance, shocking the entire West End of London..
The applause was endless. Even after Renly left the stage, the applause still did not stop. One minute, two minutes, three minutes... This was the end of the first act of "Les Misérables", and they ushered in a three-minute show. The storm of applause, and it continues, so passionate, so generous, so excited.
After the performance, Renly returned to the side stage, and then saw the staff and other actors standing on the side stage. Everyone was applauding, and everyone was watching, with bright eyes. Flashing with excitement and excitement, it seemed that everyone was infected.
This is true for the audience, and so is the crew, no one is an exception.
A real performance has a thrilling and shocking power. And just now, Renly did it..
But for Renly, this is just the first step in a long march of thousands of miles. The six-hour play has just ended for forty minutes; the biggest feature of expressionistic acting is that it can be retracted and released freely, and the performance on the stage has just ended. Emotions stay on the stage, and after leaving the stage, the actor must return to reality——
Because there are more performances and more stories to prepare for next, actors cannot stay in the last scene and dwell on it, otherwise it will only cause a chain effect and completely ruin all subsequent performances..
Therefore, after leaving the stage, Renly had calmed down his turbulent emotions. At this moment, seeing those pairs of eyes, Renly couldn't help being slightly stunned, and then he laughed dumbly..
This scene is indeed hearty, with all the eighteen martial arts skills being brought to the extreme. This is Renly's current peak level. It seems that he has never been so free and unreserved in any work before, even in " There is no "transcendence"; but today, Renly truly touched his limit..
He likes this feeling, he enjoys this kind of performance. Every minute and every second is so happy and happy, every moment and every moment is so satisfying. This is the meaning of his existence, this is the goal of his life, this is all his dreams.
“God, I love this stage so much.”
Renly showed a bright smile, accepted the applause and cheers calmly, and then nodded to the staff, "The next scene is about to begin, we must start preparing." Renly still needs to go on stage immediately, but before that, He needs to wipe off his makeup and change a set of clothes, and they are still in aristocratic clothes. The process is very cumbersome and every second counts..
Unexpectedly, the staff member standing nearby who was responsible for recording the performance sequence laughed cheerfully, "You should see with your own eyes the current situation in the theater.".”
The applause couldn't stop at all, as if the whole world was surrendering to it.
