923 The man fell on his back and the horse fell over
Standing behind the curtain on the side stage, peeking out, you can see the outline of all the audience standing and applauding; the lights inside the theater are not on, only the faint blue light above the stage is refracting, but everything is like this It’s so clear that you can even capture the excitement and excitement on the faces..
The five hundred and fifty spectators, all five hundred and fifty spectators, without exception, stood up collectively. The thunderous applause, after lasting for three minutes, not only did not stop, but continued to heat up, whistles, Screams and cheers gradually began to mix in, one wave after another, so majestic that there was no end in sight..
Tom Holland stood on the side stage, quietly sizing up his eyes. His eyes couldn't help but start to glow with excitement. He raised his head and looked up at Renly beside him. His eyes were full of admiration and admiration. His eyes were really too hot. , so much so that Renly, who was talking to the staff, felt it, and couldn't help but turn his head, with doubts in his eyes..
“Renly! You are the best! "Tom looked at Renly with great surprise and admiration. He was full of sighs. After thinking about it, he still couldn't think of better words, so he said again, "God, you are so amazing.！”
Renly burst into laughter. Although Tom was sixteen years old and Renly was only twenty-two, in Renly's eyes, Tom really looked like a child; so, he raised his hand and rubbed Tom's dark brown curly hair. , "Concentrate, concentrate on your own performance, the real test has not yet begun..”
Tom stuck out his tongue, nodded repeatedly, and then clenched his fist heavily to express his determination..
At this time, John Cord strode over, intervened between Renly and the staff, patted Renly on the shoulder, "Good performance, I knew you could do it..”
Just "nice"”？
Everyone else next to them couldn't help but rolled their eyes, and Tom even started to gasp in shock, but John was unmoved - the performance was not over yet, and it was too early to say "perfect" now. This is for everyone. This is a truth that all stage directors must bear in mind. Because on the stage, there are always surprises..
John gestured to the applause-filled scene, "They are calling you to go out for the curtain call now..”
Compared with Broadway, London's West End is still a relatively professional theater environment. Even the average standard of tourists who come to watch plays is relatively high. This is mainly because the plays in London's West End are too cold and not as approachable as Broadway. Overall In terms of quality, the quality of the audience in London's West End is more guaranteed..
However, now there are inappropriate whistles, screams and cheers inside the theater.
Generally speaking, there is only applause inside the theater, and other sounds are impolite. This is not a movie theater, let alone in front of the TV at home. Applause is one of the basic etiquette of the theater. But today, the first When the scene ended, there was such an exception on the scene.
Obviously, the audience was marveling at Renly's performance. The end of the first act was almost like the end of the whole play. They couldn't wait to get carried away and started cheering and shouting, looking forward to Renly coming out for the curtain call, just like the concert's Ann. But average. This is the highest compliment to the crew.
For an ordinary play, two encores are called for curtain calls at the end of the show, which is already an unimaginable success; but decades ago, at the peak of the theater, cast members would come back four or even five times. It’s all normal. The applause in the theater can last for ten or twenty minutes, truly interpreting the meaning of “enduring.””.
Now, at the end of the first act, the audience is calling for an encore. It can be seen that "Les Misérables" has taken an extremely solid step on the road to success..
Renly could understand what John meant, which was actually to let him go out for a curtain call; but Renly shook his head and rejected John's request, "Don't ruin the rhythm..”
He can go out for the curtain call, which is not a big deal; but there is still a long performance ahead, and there are still two acts in the afternoon part. All the actors maintain a tense and positive state. If he comes out for the curtain call now, the audience will be further incited. If you get up, this will disrupt the performance rhythm of other actors, which is definitely not worth the gain..
“Lights out, the curtain ends, and we begin preparations for the second act." Renly said decisively..
John did not continue to defend, but looked at Renly's eyes and felt the firmness, so John nodded in agreement, "Get ready for the second act!" After saying that, John's steps to leave stopped again. He seemed to want to say something, but didn't know how to express it. In the end, he just patted Renly's shoulder heavily to express encouragement, and then walked away..
Ezra Miller, Domhnall Gleeson, Andy Conahan and others were standing on the side stage and did not leave..
Ezra was the first to come forward and punched Renly's shoulder hard, "Jesus Christ, you are a beast, a beast!" His face was full of excitement and excitement..
It's unimaginable what a terrible disaster it would be if Renly unleashed all his firepower during their rivalry. Fortunately, Renly didn't; even more fortunately, Renly became the target they looked up to. , in the performance, guiding them step by step. The success of "Les Misérables", at least the success of the first act, Renly is the absolute core of the core.
Andy, who was standing next to him, also laughed in amusement, "Wow, it's a good thing you didn't glare at me like that just now, otherwise I would have definitely forgotten my lines..”
The duel on the stage is different from the movie. It lacks the blocking and switching of the camera, and the lack of transition and buffering of the supporting scenes. After the direct momentum and the details of the performance are completely released, it is easy to break the balance of the performance. Causes serious deviation, which may even affect the audience's viewing effect and the reflection effect of the play..
This is also the reason why expressionistic acting has always emphasized control. They need to control all power, emotion and performance within the expected range..
Many new actors may be too excited on stage and lose control accidentally. This kind of thing can only happen once and for all. However, those seasoned senior actors have truly demonstrated their basic skills in performing freely and consummately. It's really a pleasure to watch their performance..
“The actor who has finished all the acting tasks today said so." Renly retorted jokingly, which immediately made Andy laugh loudly, and the others beside him also followed suit.——
Andy's scene is over. At least the scene with lines is over..
After that, Andy will change his clothes and makeup, and play the role of a passerby or an extra to fill the stage space. However, these roles have no lines or performances, and they only need to move according to the arrangement. Therefore, Andy has You can relax now.
Nodding towards his companions, Renly quickly went to the waiting room. He had to seize the time to change clothes and makeup..
Tom was like a little tail, following Renly step by step. Along the way, he smiled with satisfaction and walked briskly. He didn't communicate too much, but he couldn't hide his excitement..
Renly noticed the existence of Little Tail, but there was really no time now, not to mention, Tom did not affect his pace, so Renly let it go.
After entering the waiting room, he saw Joe Alvin, who had no part in the scene for the time being. The two of them almost collided with each other. Joe's cheeks suddenly turned red, he blinked, at a loss, and then raised his eyebrows. Thumbs up on both hands, "Renly, just now, just now was really wonderful.！”
“Thanks! "Renly walked around the road, patted Joe on the shoulder, and then heard Tom's chirping voice, "Jo, did you hear that? Did you just hear that? The audience couldn't stop applauding... You should really go and see it, Renly's performance is simply incredible! Did you see that scene where he sprinted?……”
With the help of his assistant, Renly began to quickly change costumes. In a situation where every second counts, each actor is equipped with a dedicated assistant, who is responsible for changing clothes, reminding the lines of the next scene, and reminding the current scene. Performance progress, etc., to ensure that actors can enter the state as soon as possible.
Not only Renly, but also Ezra immediately returned to the waiting room and began to change clothes and makeup. The entire waiting room was busy.
Through the full-length mirror in front of him, he could see Daisy Ridley standing not far away from the corner of his eyes, with a hesitant expression on his face. He never spoke, but the tension and anxiety between his eyebrows lingered..
After changing his clothes and trousers, Renly turned around and opened his arms so that his assistant could put on his coat. He faced Dai Qian head-on, "So, are you going to speak? Or are you going to continue staring at me with that strange look in your eyes?" ?" Although he was in a hurry, his tone was still light and teasing. It could be seen that Renly was not only not nervous, but also enjoying it..
Dai Qian still hesitated, and Renly didn't give her time, "Tick tock, tick tock, if you don't say anything, I won't have time.".”
“Renly, I'm worried about my singing..." Daisy shrugged nervously, and then her shoulders stiffened in a high position and couldn't let go..
The core actor in the second act is Fantine. In other words, most of the weight falls on Daisy's shoulders. After Renly's perfect performance just now, Daisy's pressure suddenly became clear—— What's more, Fantine's most famous "I Dreamed a Dream" was performed in the second act.
This music is even the most famous song in the entire "Les Miserables". In 2009, Susan-Boyle, who was later known as "Aunt Susan" on "Britain's Got Talent", performed with her With this song, he became famous all over the world！
The pressure can be imagined.
After Renly put on his coat, he quickly walked forward and grabbed Daisy's shoulders, "Listen, Daisy, you are outstanding. It is precisely because of your excellence that you won the opportunity to play Fantine." .What you need to do next is not to prove yourself, but to show yourself, show those talents that surprise us, and show the charm of performance. And, show Fantine! The moment you step on the stage, you are Fantine! Ting is you！”
After saying that, Renly's eyebrows slightly raised, "Do you understand?"？”
Dai Qian nodded heavily, "I understand.！”
