952 Feet do not touch the ground
After leaving the box at Dormer's house, Maggie Smith's professional and dedicated guidance and Ian McKellen's contented and cheerful laughter were still lingering in my ears. Involuntarily, the smile on the corner of my mouth rose. Although tired, Although it’s hard work, I feel like I’m exhausted inside and out, but I’m satisfied inside..
Sure enough, returning to the West End is the right choice.
Every day, literally every day, the situations faced, the experiences learned, and the performances dedicated are all completely different. Even the best and top actor must always maintain a humble posture and deal with it. Different challenges, constantly enrich yourself. Only by continuous efforts and continuous progress, otherwise the exposed shortcomings will only become more and more big..
This is the most fulfilling and solid period since Renly's rebirth..
Really exhausted physically and mentally, he not only needs to give a top performance on the stage, but also needs to welcome waves of visitors. If possible, Renly just wants to lie in the hot spring and stretch out his body, not even a finger. You have to move; but at the same time, this is also a real physical and mental baptism. From the outside to the inside, from the inside to the outside, you are constantly polishing and exercising, just like steel that is tempered a hundred times..
This is pain and happiness.
Tonight, George's appearance was really an accident; however, it only caused a shallow ripple, which quickly calmed down..
For Renly, besides the opposition and rejection of his family, there are more important things to focus on. Returning to London's West End is not to prove himself to his family, but to continue to polish his basic acting skills. This original intention has always been Nothing has changed; after experiencing the ups and downs of the opening night, he once again felt the beating heart of a child..
Therefore, when he saw George unexpectedly, Renly did not give him much special treatment. Instead, Richard de Vere became the focus of the conversation. Although it was the first time they met, it must be admitted that Richard is a A very professional audience, passionate, knowledgeable, and insightful. Compared to George, Richard really enjoyed tonight's performance, and Renly was more attentive to the conversation with Richard..
Renly noticed George's abnormality and strangeness, as well as his frequent anger..
It is undeniable that I was still a little happy and a little excited deep in my heart. Perhaps, this was the pleasure of revenge; but it only passed by for a moment, and then I never thought of it again..
Suddenly, Renly began to realize that George and Elizabeth's views were not as important as he thought. He had begun to learn to turn the page..
At this time, the boxes of the Hall family and the Dunlop family were already empty. Looking at the empty boxes, there still seemed to be a surging enthusiasm in the air. Renly showed a faint smile in his eyes, and then stepped forward. I started walking backstage, ready to pack my things and go home to rest..
Tomorrow, there is still a whole day of performances waiting for you.
When Renly declined Richard's invitation earlier, that was not a polite statement..
Since the opening night, "Les Misérables" has been in theaters for fifteen days and has performed a total of thirteen times. Every performance has been packed with seats and received thunderous applause. Similarly, every performance is highly anticipated, and everyone is looking forward to it. The call for Li to perform on stage has never cooled down..
After discussion, the first line-up led by Renly performed for thirteen games without missing a beat. However, they were not made of iron after all, and they were made of flesh and blood after all. Continuous high-intensity performances were a challenge for every performance. Every actor has put forward extremely high demands. Even Tom Holland, a little flea, can't bear it, let alone the other actors..
Tomorrow is Saturday. Considering that Sunday is a rest day, this will be the last performance of the first cast in the first stage. After the Saturday performance, the second cast will take over the performance burden. Performances begin next Monday; the first cast will have four days off to adjust - plus Sunday, that's five days.
After the adjustment, the first and second line-ups will enter the stage of rotating performances. For example, Monday is the first line-up, then Tuesday is the second line-up, and so on, to ensure that the actors can get enough rest and adjustments to perform at their best. Put yourself into the performance and give the most exciting performance.
In other words, the first stage of the long march will temporarily come to an end tomorrow. Renly needs to concentrate and not relax in the sprint stage, otherwise he will fall short..
London's West End, where you really can't miss a show.
“Renly! "Stepping into the backstage, in the long theater corridor, a figure suddenly stood up. The movement was really abrupt, especially under the sparse lights in the corridor, it was really scary..
Renly's footsteps paused slightly, and after realizing it, he laughed dumbly, "There are many horror legends in the West End. Although I am not a person who is afraid of supernatural phenomena, I am not a Ghostbuster either." This self-mockery relieved him. There was a tense atmosphere, and the man in front of me laughed happily, feeling a little embarrassed and shy..
He has short dark gray hair, slightly curled; his round and honest face has a thick beard, occasionally mixed with a bit of gray beard, adding a sense of vicissitude; there is a black frame on the bridge of his tall nose. The glasses look a bit like a technical otaku. If paired with a slightly messy suit and shirt, and the tie is casually pulled apart, the otaku temperament will be even more obvious..
At a cursory glance, it is difficult to determine the age of the other party. He looks about middle-aged, but it is hard to tell whether he is fifty, fifty-five, or forty-five. Especially the boyish shyness and restraint on his face makes it even more obvious. Getting young. The image of Mark Ruffalo emerged in Renly's mind, but the person in front of him was not Mark Ruffalo..
“Sorry, forgive me for being rude. Your assistant invited me to wait in the waiting room, but there was some noise inside, so I found a seat outside. Then I saw you, so..." The middle-aged man realized what he was wearing It's not very tidy, so I quickly tidied it up, but it doesn't seem to be helpful..
Renly waved his hand and chuckled, "The waiting room is always extremely noisy. The young crew is always like this. I mean, including me." Renly took the initiative to come forward and extended his right hand. , "Nice to meet you, how was it, how was the performance tonight?？”
“Good, very good! The middle-aged man also held Renly's right hand and nodded repeatedly, "In fact, it's wonderful. I think now I finally understand why actors always have an obsession with the stage. I mean, European actors ." That less than standard English, with a thick Spanish accent, and the curling and flicking of the tongue are particularly obvious..
“This is my honor." Renly expressed his courtesy, "I have always thought that, as a director, performance capture is not your strong point; obviously, today I need to change my wrong fixed view..”
“Ha." The middle-aged man laughed happily, "No, no, I should have changed my mind. Well, it turns out that the power of acting can be so powerful, it can even break through the constraints of time and space. Truly outstanding actors are really rare. Oh, oh, sorry, I was so rude, Alfonso-Cuaron, nice to meet you.”
After talking for a while, Alfonso realized that he had forgotten to introduce himself. This was the first time he and Renly met. This was really rude..
But for Renly, this director is all too familiar..
The United States is a country of immigrants, and Hollywood is a multi-ethnic and multi-cultural melting pot. Mexico, which borders the United States, has always been a part of American culture that cannot be ignored..
Among them, the stories of the "Three Mexican Heroes" in Hollywood are widely circulated: Alfonso Cuaron, Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu, Guillermo del Toro (Guillermo- del-Toro）.
The three directors are similar in age, with only one year difference between them. They went to Hollywood at almost the same time to work hard, and made a name for themselves through their own abilities..
Gilmour became famous with "Blade Runner" and "Hellboy", and later made "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Pacific Rim" and became famous in one fell swoop. His obsession with monsters has become the most unique thing in Hollywood. Scenery.
Alejandro laid the foundation of his career with "Love is a Bitch", "Tower of Babel" and "21 Grams", and reached its peak in "Birdman" and "The Revenant". His control over the camera is superb.
As for Alfonso, he is a complete technical control. The two long shots in "Children of Men" set off word-of-mouth; the director of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" is one of the most popular films in the series. , the film with the best reputation but the mediocre box office; later he also made "Gravity", which amazed countless people.”.
Among the three Mexican heroes, Alejandro and Alfonso have both won Oscars for Best Director and are famous all over the world. Gilmour also made a successful comeback in 2017 with "The Shape of Water", which is really true. became the backbone of Hollywood.
As Renly said, he did not expect Alfonso to appear at the Almeida Theater because Alfonso was technical and did not pay much attention to the performance..
Faced with Alfonso's self-introduction, Renly chuckled, "Personally, I really like the discussion of death in 'Your Mother Too'. In Mexican culture, death is always special. , right？”
“"Your Mother, Too" was Alfonso's early work and earned an Oscar nomination for Best Original Screenplay. The script was co-written by Alfonso and his brother - somewhat similar to Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan ( Jonathan-Nolan); but overall, the work has little reputation and many people have never heard of it.
Alfonso was a little surprised and opened his mouth slightly, "Have you seen that your mother is the same’？”
“Yes, and it left a deep impression." Renly nodded in affirmation, "Did you come here alone to watch the show tonight? Can I invite you to sit in the waiting room? Or do you still have companions waiting for you?？”
“No, no need." Alfonso waved his hand, but then nodded, "I mean, can we find a place to sit down and have a good chat? "Aware of Renly's doubtful gaze, Alfonso added, "I have a work that I would like to invite you to star in..”
