Chapter 755

"Macbeth." Andy looked down at his watch, but did not continue to sell the key points. He revealed the answer, "in terms of creating CASS, there are many names. I can't remember them clearly, but I remember the theater manager, Emma Fielding."

Don't want to, blue Li picked to pick eyebrow tail however, closed to close jaw to express to understand, "Oh, Almeida theater."

Andy's eyes widened unexpectedly. "Yes, do you know her?"

Lanli did not admit it, but did not deny it. Instead, he bypassed the topic. "This is a very interesting theater. The rehearsed plays have some new ideas and challenges. They can always bring surprises. I remember, um... Five years ago, they rehearsed the famous 1984, which was a big hit in the west end; And "American mental patients." that's a good try

In the field of drama, because of the uniqueness of theater stage, the repertoire is relatively fixed. After a play is determined, the repertoire and theater are bundled together for a short period of two quarters or a long period of several years, which is widely known by the public, such as "les miserables" and queen's theatre, Such as the phantom of the opera and Her Majesty's theatre.

This also means that the decision-making of theater managers is crucial. Their artistic taste and appreciation ability in selecting plays not only determine the feedback of the market, but also the taste of the theater. Therefore, in the circle of art lovers in London, or in the circle of upper class society, when it comes to theatres, theater managers can't get around the topic.

In fact, to a certain extent, theater managers and art directors of galleries are similar. Even in the upper class, they can often open a small window to join them.

Emma Fielding, manager of the Almeida theatre. Any one of the keywords can be automatically associated with another.

"So now they're playing Macbeth?" Lanli thought it was a very interesting choice.

As one of Shakespeare's four tragedies, "Macbeth" is undoubtedly artistic. However, because the theme is too heavy and there are a lot of monologues in the play, Emma has great courage to choose to put it on the stage again in the general depression of drama market in recent years.

With a flash of inspiration in his mind, lanli asked, "is the director John cod?"

John, lenley's mentor, met not long ago at the opening ceremony of Eaton domer personal brand. John is good at Shakespeare's plays, and in recent years, he has been looking forward to Shakespeare's return to the stage. His famous work is "Hamlet".

"Oh, yes, John cod!" Andy didn't remember it just now. Now lanli pulled the trigger, and his name became clear. "Yes, do you know him?" The same rhetorical question, just changed a personal pronoun. After Andy said it, he immediately realized his clumsiness and laughed. "Wait, let's rewind. How much do you know about the west end? Why do I feel like I've done so much behind my back and you're in control? "

He shrugged his shoulders and said he was innocent. "I'm from London. You should have known that for a long time. We always choose the theater to pass the time on weekends

"No, I don't know, because you never mentioned it." Andy seizes the opportunity and shakes his head solemnly, but the Maitreya like smile reveals his true feelings. "What else do you need to explain? To be honest, I'm meeting Emma again tonight. What else do I need to know when we're talking to each other to avoid being a fool? "

"I graduated from the Royal Academy of drama and spent more than a year in the west end. That's all Lan Li said with a smile, as for the surname "Hall", although there have been a lot of gossip recently, it's hard for outsiders to connect directly.

Andy narrowed his eyes and wrote "don't believe it" all over his face? So when I talk to Emma about Langley hall, she won't suddenly say, she's your ex girlfriend or something? Or John cod, he won't say you've dated? " Andy joked, too.

Blue Li's eyes flashed a shallow smile, "by the way, I forgot to tell you, John is my teacher."

"..." Andy squints, but he's in the same place; Nathan and Roy, sitting beside them, chuckled. Andy's eyes didn't move, but he still fell on lanli. Then he said calmly, "do you mean that all my efforts in the past have been futile? You're already on the line? Didn't tell me? Can I go directly to Berlin instead of coming to London? So, is that so? "

Lanli and Andy have known each other for two years. Although Andy is always smiling, lanli doesn't think that Andy is a good man. However, until today, it's true whether it's Broadway, which is entertainment to death, or west end, which is art oriented. This is the bottom line of the drama circle and their insistence. In the UK, whether top stars or senior actors want to win the position in the industry, the west end has to go through the threshold; Oscar winner, three major European Film Festival trophies, it doesn't work, it all depends on the theater stage.

On the morning of the "Pacific War" audition, George and Elizabeth once called Langley and asked him to go back to London, because they found a place for Langley in the "Hamlet" crew. However, even if they dredge up the relationship and arrange lanli, they can't make sure whether it is the first team, the second team or the third team. In the final analysis, it depends on lanli's strength.

This is the west end, always with a high and proud drama circle.

"Well, the play John is preparing..." after the explanation, Langley took the initiative to pull the topic back, "is it also 'miserable world'

On party night, John mentioned that he was preparing two new plays, "les miserables" and "Peter Pan.". At that time, Langley didn't care too much. He took it for granted that "Peter Pan" was more likely to return to the stage, but now it seems that the preparatory work of "les miserables" is ahead for the time being.

When you think about it, it's not surprising that, in the case of lack of funds, it's always easier for a well-known play like "les miserables" to get sponsorship. Now Cameron's version of "les miserables" is still on at the Queen's theatre. If there is a play against the stage, it is bound to be a hot topic in the west end of London, which is also in line with the consistent style of Almeida theatre.

The reason why Langley thinks so is because of Andy. Andy can't wait to come to London. Obviously, he is well prepared. He is also a "miserable world". On the one hand, he is a film adaptation version, and on the other hand, he is a stage play rearrangement version. No matter which version, it is worth participating in.

For the same work, the template is applied to the two art forms, which is the most economical and direct selection scheme. When a Broadway play is adapted into a Hollywood movie, it is natural that the casting director will give priority to the original Broadway actors.

Now, the first mock exam is trying to replicate the template. Andy is also trying to copy the template.

"Yes." Andy nodded in affirmation and breathed out a long breath. Looking back on his busy work in the past few months, and at lanli's complacency, he could not help but smile all the time. "Lanli, I need you to share this information with me, which is very important to my work. To be honest, if you take the initiative to contact John, can you get an audition or even a direct lead? "

Langley was about to speak, but Andy stopped him with his eyes, and then added, "and what's your status in the west end? Give your name. Does everyone here know? Next, I will go to Berlin to open up the situation for you. Is there anything I need to pay attention to? And what else can I use? "

Looking at the endless flow of Andy, it seems that he has a lingering fear. Lanli smiles even more happily. "You mean, if I can handle the work here, you don't care?"

Not only did they not answer the questions, they also launched a counterattack.

Andy is also dumbfounded, but still solemnly explained, "correct, not ignore, but more efficiently carry out the Berlin Film Festival and award season work. But Europe is a field I'm not familiar with. The artists here obviously don't like Hollywood very much. I need your help. "
