Chapter 753

As for Grammy, they naturally want Langley to be on stage.

On the one hand, "Don Quixote" has become a phenomenal work. Whether it's Grammy's Award for six nominations or the feat of topping the billboard album sales list, it all proves the strong rise of independent musicians.

The grass-roots culture and fast food culture in the Internet age are calling for more diversified music works. On the Internet of looking for a needle in a haystack, the living space of independent musicians can be said to be more extensive, but it can also be said to be more narrow“ In the process of the rise of Don Quixote, online platforms such as tubing, Facebook and Yahoo community have all played an important role, which is different from Justin Bieber's idol singers. Instead, it is a return to the strength of music. So what is the meteor across the sky? Or can it be a new trend?

Either way, Langley's performance on the Grammy stage is of great significance.

On the other hand, it is because of lanli's role as an actor. Grammy, like Oscar, holds its own identity, does not want to lower its face to hype like Golden Globes, holds high the banner of entertainment to death, and loses its persistence and pride; But in order to adapt to market changes, they still have to make some compromises, such as inviting idol singers to attend, such as inviting topic characters as prize awarding guests. and so on.

As an actor, Lan Li has been in the limelight in the past two years. In addition to the recent box office success of "crazy love" and "anti-cancer me", as well as the praise of double nominations for Golden Globe Awards. Such a topic character appeared on the stage of Grammy; More importantly, not as a prize awarding guest, but as a six nominator, his performance on stage is undoubtedly the focus of the focus.

As you can imagine, Twitter's real-time topic list and audience ratings are definitely a major stimulus!

Grammy, which is facing many difficulties, urgently needs the focus of Langley. Even if they have Adele, Bruno Mars, Kanye West and other hot topics this year, it is a perfect choice to maintain the authority and style of Grammy while increasing the audience's attention.

So, regardless of whether or not lanli can win the prize, Grammy naturally hopes that lanli can not only attend the award ceremony, but also perform on the stage.

"What? If I refuse to perform, Grammy refuses to show me? " Although it's just a joke of Langley, Andy can't refute it when he thinks about it. He nods with a smile. "I'll communicate with Grammy. If they really can't accept it, it's not our loss."

Roy, sitting next to him, squinted slightly. "Otherwise, I'd better negotiate with them? Why do I think there's something in Andy's words? " Andy is a film agent. All his work focuses on films. Grammy is really of limited importance to him.

In the face of doubt, Andy spread his hands and made an invitation gesture, "welcome to help share my work. To be honest, I've been a little busy lately. "

Berlin Film Festival is not only one of the three major European film festivals, but also an outpost to enter the European market - not commercial, but artistic.

European film practitioners, actors, directors, producers, photographers and so on, are the most important part of Hollywood. Their pursuit and persistence of art are rooted in their blood. If we can win the recognition of these people, the real benefit is not only the three major film festivals in Europe, but also the college public relations in every award season in the United States.

In college public relations, there is a voting option called "British vote, European vote", corresponding to "race vote", "merit vote" and so on.

On this business trip, the Berlin Film Festival is one of Andy's most important jobs. For the time being, he doesn't know the quality of "super" finished products, but with Tony Kaye's reputation in Europe, he hopes to open up a situation for Langley. It's no less important than college public relations in the United States. Andy's work is very heavy.

Roy looked at Andy seriously. After confirming his eyes, he nodded his head and said, "OK, leave it to me. I'll talk to Teddy bell first."

Andy tucked in his chin and motioned to Roy to thank him. "Call me if you need anything." After adding a sentence, Andy looked back at the blue ceremony, "the awarding season is up to us. I've come here today. My main task is about audition. " Without a show, Andy said the answer directly, "audition for drama, audition for film."

Although Lan Li had already guessed the words of the meeting just now, after the confirmation, the smile still bloomed, "what works?"

"Les miserables." Time is running out. Andy answers all his questions and reveals the answer.

Victor Hugo's novel "les miserables", which was published in 1862, is well-known as a literary work. As a dramatic work, it has also been widely loved. It has been on the theatrical stage of various countries for many times. In 1985, Cameron mackintosh, the gold medal musical producer, adapted French drama into English, He ascended the west end of London and began his career in drama.

Now, "les miserables", "Miss Saigon", "phantom of the opera" and "cat" are known as the four major musicals, which are enduring in both the west end and Broadway. Among them, "miserable world" is regarded as the classic among the classics by countless people because of its profound literary heritage and historical weight.

The story of "les miserables" is very grand. In Paris in the 19th century, Jean Valjean, a poor man, went to steal bread for starving children. As a result, he was sentenced to 19 years of hard labor by a high-ranking judge.

After he was released from prison, Jean Valjean, who was desperate, was taken in by the good bishop for the night. However, he stole the Bishop's silver and absconded. Later, he was caught by the police. Jean Valjean was also influenced by the Bishop's claim that the silver was given to him to save him from prison. As a result, he changed his name to Madeleine, changed his mind and became a new man. Later, he became a successful businessman and mayor.

In an accident, Jean Valjean and Sheriff Javert had a dispute, and they had a disagreement on how to deal with the prostitute Fantine.

Javert, the son of the slave laborer, once met Jean Valjean in the slave laborer. This time, Javert began to suspect Jean Valjean. At the same time, Jean Valjean learned about Fantine's tragic experience and promised to take care of her illegitimate daughter Cosette.

Eight years later, as an adult, Cosette fell in love with the Republican youth Marius and was involved in the vigorous Paris people's uprising; At the same time, Javert tracked Jean Valjean again and tried to arrest him. However, the wheel of the times has begun to move forward, and can not be reversed.

The story of "miserable world" not only reflects the pathetic and bumpy fate, but also reflects the fate of the little people and the feat of promoting the wheel of history under the change of the times. In addition to the hero Jean Valjean, Fantine, Cosette, Marius, Javert and other roles are also very important. Each role maintains the brand and destiny of the times. After gathering together, a magnificent miniature of the times is created.

However, it is precisely because of classics that adaptation becomes more and more difficult. It is a severe challenge for every adapter to follow the original story or break the original framework.

In 2012, Hollywood launched the latest adaptation of "les miserables". Tom Hooper, who won the best director Oscar for "the king's speech", took the lead, bringing together actors such as Hugh Jackman, Anne Hathaway, Russell Crowe, Amanda Seyfried and Eddie Redmayne, At the beginning of the preparation, it attracted much attention.

However, as expected, adaptation of classics is always the most serious challenge.

After the film was released, it was a great disappointment. Tom had almost no change to the original story and no change to the important music clips. It can be seen as bringing the camera into the theater to record the whole drama performance.

Not only does it not show the advantages of the film, but also because of the length of the film, it has to cut a large number of fragments, which leads to the story becoming a daily account. The core that Victor Hugo injected into the play has all disappeared, leaving only an empty bag.

"Les miserables" has been criticized by film critics, and only 63 points have been scored by the media. Although in the award season, with the reputation and reputation of the original work and strong college public relations, eight nominations were received, five of which were technical nominations, and two actors were really impressive——

Hugh Jackman and Anne Hathaway. The former is originally from the Australian drama circle and has won the Tony Award, the highest award in American drama; The latter's mother was born on Broadway and received formal drama education since childhood. The excellent performance of the two actors saved a little face for the film version of "miserable world", and Annie also successfully won the recognition of Oscar for best supporting actress.

In fact, it's not just the film version, it's also the drama version.

In 2006, after a three-year hiatus, Broadway re rehearsed "les miserables" in the absence of scripts. But the content of the adaptation is really limited, and the actor's performance failed to break through. After the performance, it was warmly sought after by tourists. It was limited to perform on Broadway for more than a year, but the recognition of the Tony Award was completely lost.

As for the west end, les miserables is still rehearsing. The script and aria are still 1985 versions, only the actors are constantly changing. This drama is still the most popular work in the west end of London. It is not one of the most popular works in the west end. But it is also because of this that those creators are always afraid when they consider adapting "les miserables".

Just like no one dares to challenge "Hamlet", classic works such as "les miserables" are as daunting as Everest.

I didn't expect that the project Andy brought was "les miserables".
