Chapter 756

That Frank rate with a trace of helpless tone, really let blue Li can't help laughing, had to drop his eyes, hide his smile, and then looked at Andy again, "first of all, I can get the audition, I will give John a phone call, exchange this information, but whether selected, or depends on my performance."

After a round trip, the work of drama project finally went back to John cod, which was unexpected.

However, lanli can also understand Andy's frustration. After all, drama is not his specialty. After working hard for such a long time, he has no effort at all. That kind of nihility is inevitable; To be honest, Andy nodded and agreed that it would not be easy for him to return to the stage.

"But your work is still not over. As for the remuneration, the schedule of performances, the publicity and planning, and even whether the play will land in Hollywood, how it will land, and how it will land in cooperation, all these need the help of an agent. " To be honest, these matters are extremely complicated and need the professional skills of brokers; If there is no agent, the actors will be taken care of by the trade union. "Emma fielding is a difficult manager, but her bottom line is also very clear, all for the work. Under her leadership, the Almeida theatre is the most dynamic theatre in the west end in the past few years. "

Andy didn't respond. He just listened. If we only rely on him to inquire about the inside information, I'm afraid it will take a lot of effort; What's more, Langley's understanding of the west end is obviously very important. He has been hiding it all the time! To say the least, he has always limited his eyes to Broadway, and I'm afraid he won't have a chance to see this side of Langley.

"Second, I'm just a nobody in the west end, especially in Europe." With a smile on his mouth, Langley's eyes were very sincere. "Andy, I'm only 22 years old. I only wallowed in the west end for one year. Before the Pacific War, no one in the art circle knew my name, whether it was America or Europe."

Lanli emphasized the art circle, not the life circle.

"But if you're willing to talk to Emma and John, they'll probably let out some of my secrets." Lan Li said half jokingly, "Shh, keep it secret."

Andy's face doesn't change, his movements don't change, and he's thinking in his head.

Just as Langley said, he was only 22 years old, and he could not have any fame and reputation in the west end; But from another point of view, as the hometown of lanli, it seems that it is not a backwater. At least lanli's Orthodox academic background is worth noting. Next, after you go to Berlin, can you make a little use of it?

Putting his thoughts aside for a while, Andy looks back at Langley. "So, you have no problem with the tragic world?" Going to Almeida theater tonight to watch the drama, Andy is mainly fighting for an audition for Langley, but now it seems that there is no need to worry about the audition at all, and Langley is responsible for the part of performance strength. Andy's focus of work immediately changes - he should start thinking about Berlin.

"Yes, let me do the audition." Lan Li simply agreed.

As one of the most classic plays in the field of drama, "les miserables" is different from Shakespeare's plays such as "Hamlet" and "Macbeth", because the former is a musical, which tests the actors from acting skills to singing skills and then to stage expression; Shakespeare's repertoire is a drama, and his lines are very important, especially his obscure and poetic sonnets, which can definitely be called the ultimate test.

But no one can deny that the performance difficulty and ideological depth of "les miserables" are no less than Shakespeare's, and the difficulty of subsequent adaptation, remake and remake has doubled.

In the west end, only the 1985 version of "les miserables" won the Oliver prize, while the later versions only won the most popular award, and other departments couldn't even get the nomination; In Broadway, the 1987 version swept away, and the subsequent versions were both positive and negative. The 2006 version won three nominations, but returned empty handed.

It's not difficult to arrange "les miserables", but it's difficult to make it to the top with excellent adaptation, interpretation and performance, because the 1985 West End edition and the 1987 Broadway edition are too classic to surpass.

The same is true for actors. When they perform classic roles, they always bear more pressure - because the audience is so familiar with the roles, and even the senior audience knows clearly that every line, every emotional turn, any negligence and mistake can become a fatal flaw in the whole play.

Even in the field of contemporary drama, playing Shakespeare's plays is still regarded as one of the ultimate challenges for actors. There are not many plays that can be compared with Shakespeare's plays, but there are also many. "Miserable world" is one of them.

Now, the opportunity to challenge the "miserable world" is undoubtedly rare for Langley. Three years ago, George and Elizabeth offered a chance to challenge Hamlet, which he missed; Three years later, he was given the opportunity to challenge the "miserable world", and this time he didn't want to repeat it.

"Film version, you also submit a video of the audition." Andy added again, "it's just an audition anyway, and there's no loss in trying."

Andy is still worried that after the audition opportunity of the drama version surfaced, lanli simply ignored the film version and had to explain it again. But did not expect, blue Li nodded with a smile, almost without any hesitation and hesitation, positive words passed out, "OK, I know."

He agreed so readily that Andy narrowed his eyes and looked carefully, full of disbelief. Before today, lanli was a man who did what he said and always did what he said. Andy never doubted lanli's commitment and reputation; But today, for the first time, Andy found that there is an unknown side of lanli hidden in the city of London. Inevitably, Andy felt that lanli had something to say.

The twinkling eyes made Lan Li laugh, "don't worry. In the final analysis, whether it's a film version or a drama version, it's still the same work. " In particular, the film version of Tom Hooper is even more so. "In the audition stage, the content and skills that the actors can present are almost the same. The same video is delivered to the drama and the film, just by the way. After that, when the two works confirm the invitation, that's another story. It's too late to make a choice at that time. "

Such a persuasive speech, Andy gently shook his head, "before I meet Emma and John, are you sure there is nothing else to add?"

Instead of answering, Lan Li stood up and said, "you'd better start now. The rush hour in London is coming. You don't want to be stuck on the road With that, Langley went into the room, ready to start today's campaign——

During the shooting of "tomorrow's edge", he still insisted on polishing his basic martial arts skills. What he had learned in "Liu's martial arts school" for a long time, the effect is coming out bit by bit. However, Lan Li also knows that it's a waste of time. Years of exercise can make a little success.

Andy and Roy exchanged a look. Roy shrugged helplessly and laughed. "You go back to London first. If there's a problem, we'll call again. "

With the look of "good guy, good brother", Andy said with a smile, "if I remember correctly, are you on the same line with Langley?" The relationship between managers and artists is more intimate. The only thing managers need to consider is the interests of artists, while agents need to measure many things.

Roy is noncommittal, "when we have the same goal, we are on the same front." Crisp, straight to the point.

Andy chewed it carefully, nodded his approval and said, "call in the evening." After that, Andy got up and left the photography base in a hurry. It was a very busy season.

After dinner, Roy began to get busy, Grammy things need to complete communication as soon as possible, wrote a few emails, and then look at the time, it's actually 9:30, the passage of time is very fast. According to the time, Andy should have begun to watch "Macbeth" now. I don't know if the meeting is going well after the performance. Thinking of this, Roy gets up and walks towards Langley's room.

The door of the room wasn't locked. Roy knocked politely. Then he opened the door and went in. Then he saw Nathan fiddling with the camera, "... Are you sure? The light here doesn't look good, otherwise, tomorrow morning, we'll find time to shoot? I've checked. There's no set for you tomorrow morning. "

"What are you shooting?" Roy interjected.

Lanli was standing in the middle of the hall. The chairs and low tables in the way were removed, and a vacant space was cleared. "Audition video." Explained, then said to Nathan, "there's plenty of light, that's enough. The audition video focuses on the instant impression, not the details of the performance. "

Nathan raised his shoulders. "I believe you've impressed people enough, even without the audition video." Despite that, Nathan stood by the tripod and began to fix the camera.

"Take the audition video now?" Roy said unexpectedly that Andy had just left the studio a few hours ago, and Langley had started filming the audition video. With such urgency and enthusiasm, we can see that lanli is serious about returning to the stage.

"Audition video is not one shot." "I have a lot of work to do every day for the next period of time," he explained with a smile. So, in order to get a satisfying video of the audition, it's better to start now. "
