932 Very happy conversation
In the face of everyone's complaints, Renly not only did not defend himself, but also listened carefully with a smile on his face, as if the person who was focusing on everyone was another person, and he pretended to be aloof from the incident..
Ned couldn't help but find it interesting and asked curiously, "Renly, aren't you going to defend yourself? Or, join in? Is this really the case normally? You train so hard.？”
All eyes were directed towards Renly, and Renly shrugged with a calm expression, "What can I say? As I said, I am not a genius, I need to work harder ;As for those geniuses, they probably only need half of my time……”
“"Tsk", "Tsk, tsk", "Speechless", "What are you talking about", "Nonsense", "This is simply the funniest joke", "I have never seen such a shameless person"... Everyone's complaints were instantly fired. To the extreme, even Joe Alvin had a "chilling" expression on his face, shaking his head repeatedly to express his disapproval..
Renly didn't speak. He just smiled, spread his hands, and waited for the noise to subside. Then he said, "Everyone was praising me, and I thought maybe I'd better keep my mouth shut." They continued to praise me." That proud and proud expression did not appear arrogant or arrogant at all, but made people laugh..
Ned shrugged and gave his own comment, "I guess you have the qualifications..”
Perhaps, this is the fundamental reason why Renly returned to London: stripping away business and publicity, and truly focusing on performance, day after day, continuously, with no breathing space. In just three months, the actor's training and training The test is far beyond imagination.
“So, let’s introduce the play ‘Les Misérables.’” After realizing this, Ned no longer focused on Renly—or in other words, he stopped paying attention to the topic of Oscar, but cut into it. Today’s real topic is, “According to Cameron Mackintosh, you once auditioned for the movie version of ‘Les Misérables.’ What’s the story?？”
“It's just a coincidence." Renly briefly introduced the ins and outs of the story..
Ned's eyes flickered slightly, but he caught the details in Renly's words, "However, Hugh Jackman revealed that the role you auditioned for was Jean Valjean; in the story you just told, you were in Auditions for Enjolras and Marius？”
Renly nodded in affirmation, "The role I auditioned for is indeed Jean Valjean, but in the movie version, considering the cast and makeup, the challenge is even greater. Therefore, during the audition process , I performed the arias of Enjolras, and the arias of Marius and Eponine.”
“Jesus Christ, you didn't even let Eponine sing? "Caris Jack covered her chest, with a hurt expression on her face, and said exaggeratedly, causing Ezra, Michelle and others to laugh..
But Tom Holland blinked and looked at Renly with a flickering look, "Really? Have you performed Enjolras's aria? Which part did you sing? Why didn't you show it during the rehearsal? Is there any special technique? Enjolras's aria seems very simple, but in actual performance, there are really many things to think about.！”
“Tom, Tom, shouldn't you be worried about your job? If Renly plays Enjolras, you'll lose your job." Domhnall Gleeson kindly reminds you..
Tom waved his hand nonchalantly, "Mr. Gleason, Renly said that truly outstanding actors should not be afraid of competition. Only through constant training can we grow into better actors." That serious look, Let Domhnall touch his nose and look at Renly with a helpless face - Renly also didn't know whether to laugh or cry..
“Tom, your performance is very good, don't worry." Renly patted the little guy's head, as if patting the head of a big golden retriever, this feeling... "I missed the movie version, for me, It's a pity, but Hugh is an excellent actor, and I believe he is more suitable than me. To be honest, I am already looking forward to Hugh's performance in the movie version..”
“So, in your opinion, what is the difference between the movie version and the stage play version? "Ned brought up another sharp topic..
Since the project of the "Les Misérables" movie version was established, comparisons between different versions have never subsided: the Queen's Theater version, the Almeida Theater version, these versions, from the cast to the script, from the director to the producer, and even In terms of the final presentation effect, this is what people care about.
Producer Cameron Mackintosh confirmed that the adaptation of the film version is based on the Queen's Theater version, with slight differences; the text and arias themselves will not change much, and two to three new sections may be re-edited. arias, but overall, the script structure and character settings remain the same.
So, can the film version surpass the Queen's Theater version of the classic? Can the movie version recreate the wonderful scenes of the Queen's Theater version? More importantly, can the actors in the film version match the excellence of the Queen's Theater version?？
On the other hand, the Almeida Theater version is simply earth-shaking, with everything changed and innovated from beginning to end. So, what are the differences between this version and the movie version?？
“For me personally, the movie version presents the story of Jean Valjean; while our version presents the story of an entire era. This is the essential difference, and it is also the reason why our version is six hours long. I think only stage plays can realize this blueprint. No audience is willing to sit in the cinema for six hours, not even me." Renly's complaint made everyone burst into laughter..
Gradually, Ned's nervousness eased.
The Renly in front of him is still the familiar Renly. The memory of the Berlin Film Festival is still vivid now; to be more precise, after four months of hard work and ups and downs, the light between his eyebrows seems to have become more and more restrained. Get up and devote yourself wholeheartedly to the performance.
Ned had a ridiculous illusion: It was as if inside that young body of twenty-two years old, there lived an old soul that was over fifty years old. After going through vicissitudes and tempering over the years, it gradually blossomed into the maturity of wisdom and rich experience. This is Ridiculous, but true.
The conversation continued, and Ned slowly let go of his hands and feet, talking about the character of Jean Valjean, the ideological core of the stage version, the original intention of John Corder's creation, and Renly's experience working with a group of young people, and talking about the atmosphere in London's West End……
Of course, it was not just Ned and Renly who were talking, the other actors were also naturally included in the conversation, without any barriers. Ned had the illusion that he was not interviewing, but Renly was hosting, as if It's like a multi-person talk show, with a fun atmosphere that makes people enjoy it..
“"Knock, knock." There was a gentle knock at the door, but the conversation still did not stop. Tom was vividly describing a recurring mistake during the rehearsal, which triggered Renly's thunderous wrath and caused the entire crew to panic. If Han Chan is banned, even John, who is the director, dare not interrupt.
Renly, who was facing the door, raised his head and saw Emma Fedding standing at the door..
Emma's expression was a little strange. She was smiling, but slightly confused, and there was still some hesitation. Her eyes came into contact with Renly, she nodded, and then took the initiative to raise her voice to interrupt the room. conversation, "Sorry to interrupt for a moment, I need to borrow Renly's.”
The interview was arranged by Emma herself. If it was not an emergency, Emma would definitely not come and interrupt..
Ned was slightly surprised. He paused for a moment, and then he responded, "No problem, no problem at all. Don't worry about us, we can take care of ourselves." Their conversation was actually gradually unfolding, and Renly stopped talking. It is absolutely central and every actor can have a chance to talk. Therefore, Ned is not too worried.
Looking back, Ned looked at Tom and raised his chin, "Tom, what then? What happened next?"？”
However, Tom did not continue speaking. Instead, he turned to look at Renly and cast a doubtful look. Renly nodded and said with a smile, "I'll be back soon.".”
After receiving the affirmative answer, Tom breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tell his story with confidence..
Standing up, under the gaze of the actors, Renly left the room. There was another burst of laughter behind him, and they had a pleasant conversation. When he came to the door, Renly closed the door to the room without closing it completely. , he thought he just needed to send a message, and looked at Emma curiously, "What's wrong?？”
“Renly.”
The one who answered was not Emma, but another voice, a strange yet familiar voice; then, Renly saw two figures standing diagonally in front of the door, Arthur and Elf, and it was Arthur who spoke..
Tonight, both of them were dressed up, in a complete dinner party style, elegant and meticulous; because it was too grand and too restrictive, it brought a kind of aloofness and coldness, just like a noble coming among common people. , that incompatible difference always lingers.
Especially what Renly is wearing now is nothing more than a simple off-white shirt with black pants. He is casual and unruly, simple and unruly, and even a little downcast..
The invisible gap is outlined with just a few strokes.
Emma coughed lightly and showed a decent smile, but the twinkle in her eyes still revealed her confusion and panic, "Renly, this is Arthur. He said that he hopes to visit you in person. He is really honest." Too enthusiastic, I have no reason to refuse. I heard that he is your most loyal supporter.”
“Ha." Supporter, upon hearing this description, the smile on Renly's lips slightly rose, and there was no concealment of his mocking and joking emotions..
Ned, who was sitting in the room, felt something in his heart. He suddenly turned around and vaguely caught a glimpse of the figure outside through the crack in the door and the halo. Through Renly's shoulder, he could vaguely see several other figures. A figure is vaguely visible under the dim corridor light.
