Chapter 762

Theater basic etiquette, quiet, upright, elegant, keep the appearance. Never leave your seat during the performance; When you have to get up, you must keep a posture of bending, lightness, politeness and apology, not only to avoid interrupting the performance; It's also about respecting the audience.

Lanli abides by such etiquette. Drama, opera, ballet, discourse, recital and so on, the reason why these art forms are named "elegant" is not because art itself is superior, but because the related etiquette is strict and correct, which distinguishes the elegant art from the street art.

Both are arts, but they are suitable for different groups of people. Just like when noble masters participate in street art performances, they also need to take off their hats, loosen their shirts, roll up their sleeves and enjoy themselves with the people; On the other hand, when ordinary people attend elegant art occasions, they also need to wear formal clothes and correct etiquette. Respect. It's mutual.

The shooting of "tomorrow's edge" was slightly faster than expected, ending 40 minutes earlier. So instead of delaying his trip, he went straight to the theater for the audition of "les miserables.". Entering the theater space, Hollywood's aura will disappear. Here, he is an actor, a simple actor. Even such a version of "les miserables" is produced by Hollywood.

It's just that things seem to have gone beyond Langley's expectations, first Nina gold, then Cameron McIntosh. Lan Li was also helpless.

"Mr. Macintosh." In the face of Cameron's greeting, Langley politely grasped the other party's right hand, whispered, and then motioned to the next vacant seat to respond with his eyes——

What should I do if I meet an acquaintance during the performance? Nod to say hello, make a sign in your eyes, then sit down quietly, wait for the interval, and then meet again to say hello.

Now, that's what Langley does; Cameron also took advantage of the situation to sit down next to Langley, his eyes showed a shallow smile, whispered, "you came earlier than expected. Or, in other words, on time. "

With no reply, Lan Li raised his hands to signal the stage. Unexpectedly, they had already interrupted the rhythm of the actors on the stage, or they would calm down and let the performance continue; Or pause the audition and have a conversation. That's what theater etiquette is.

Cameron chuckled twice. "The lawlessness of Hollywood makes me forget these rules." He looked up and said, "sorry, audition continues." But the next second, Cameron noticed that the crew members sitting in the front area, one or two, were constantly looking back and casting their eyes, which made Cameron dumbfounded. "It seems that everyone is absent-minded. So, take a five minute break, and then the audition starts again. "

After the announcement, Cameron turned to lenley and said, "obviously, I'm not the only one with a strong curiosity."

The smile at the corner of lanli's mouth stopped for a moment, then rose and responded in a funny way, "so, have you found my third eye? I hope the water in Hollywood doesn't mutate me. "

"Ha ha." Cameron chuckled twice, so humor really makes people feel relaxed, but it makes Cameron not help but look at lenley more, "you know? You are younger than I thought Lanli's eyebrows rose slightly. He didn't know what to do in response. Cameron grinned and said, "praise, it's praise."

"Les miserables" has had three rounds of auditions before and after, all in the form of video auditions. In order to create this classic, the creators of the cast are cautious and cautious, hoping to select the most suitable actors and have Hollywood reputation.

Like Hugh Jackman.

Before and after Lan Li sent two audition videos, the first is the excerpt of eponine; The second is Javert. This is a very strange choice, but it's not just a curiosity. On the contrary, the two videos show lanli's solid basic skills and abundant dramatic tension. It seems that in the past few years, lanli has never left behind the polishing of his basic skills; Moreover, Hollywood's excellent performance has brought more inspiration and injected more full and vivid soul into the whole performance.

One is young women, deeply in love, unable to extricate themselves; One is a middle-aged man, who insists on inner justice, but suffers under the wheel of the times.

Two completely different roles, lanli shows excellent control and interpretation, enough to make people ignore his age, even his gender. What's more valuable is that the two excerpts are not the same interpretation of the original story, but the integration of lanli's own interpretation, which makes the audience chew carefully.

As the creator of the classic drama version of "les miserables", Cameron has a profound understanding of drama. He can detect the differences in lanli's performance, and he wants to criticize, refute and deny conditionally, because lanli overthrows the character image he has built in the past 30 years; But after calming down, more possibilities emerged, which made Cameron interested.

For the first time, Cameron became curious. It's not because the performances of Langley are too shocking. There are so many old actors in the west end and Hollywood, but Langley still hasn't reached such a high level; It's because I'm looking forward to Langley's audition performance on the stage. The feeling in the video is always separated by a layer of yarn, which makes people not see clearly. Only in the theater, can we make a judgment if we appreciate it closely.

In addition to the magical rise in the past two years, lanli, who is only 22 years old, has gathered too many auras - the aura of mystery, the aura of genius and the aura of invincibility. All these make curiosity even more irresistible. It's not just Cameron, Nina gold, Tom Hooper and so on, but most of the creators of the show.

After sitting close to the ground, the first thought in Cameron's mind was this: it's really too young. Now think back to the performance on the video, and the surprise is even more turbulent.

"Which part of the play are you auditioning for?" A simple greeting is just two words. Cameron has been wallowing in the west end all his life. Naturally, he can't be more clear about the etiquette of the theatre. There's no unnecessary nonsense, so he just gets to the point.

Langley did not joke again, and gave the answer dryly, "Jean Valjean." Then, Langley can see the surprise of Cameron's eyes, without any disguise. It seems that today is the first time to hear it. At the end of the second audition video, after the performance, I first introduced myself, and then elaborated the information that I wanted to challenge the role. Was it deleted in the post editing of the video? "

Cameron pauses a little for two seconds, catches the serious eyes from the bottom of blue's eyes, then turns into a smile in surprise, and gently retracts his jaw. Langley mentioned it, of course.

If a casual 22-year-old expresses that he hopes to audition for Jean Valjean, everyone will regard it as a big joke, or even a performance of ignorance of heaven and earth; But this young man is Langley hall, the most topical new generation actor in Hollywood in the past three years. After two wonderful performances and proving his ability to control the role, what should we do?

insane? Arrogance? Arrogance? proud? Or... Confidence?

This is also the reason why Cameron came forward to meet Langley for the first time. It is also the reason why the rest of the crew are excited. Is Langley a genius or a madman?

Twenty two years old, can play Marius, can play Enjolras, but... Jean Valjean?

From impossible to possible, at least Langley broke the conventional idea with a surprise gesture. Cameron didn't agree, but he didn't veto it at the first time“ So, what are you going to do today? "

"As requested, I have prepared Jean Valjean's aria. But I'm open to all possibilities, and I've made other preparations, hoping to break some of the shackles of prejudice. " Blue Li's understatement, but with a strong self-confidence.

Because he knows what his challenge means.

In terms of makeup, whether it's drama or movie, under the modern makeup technology, age is not a problem. This is especially true in drama. Thanks to the distance from the stage, the makeup of the actors is completely hidden under the light, which makes it impossible for the audience to distinguish; But the problem never lies in the makeup, but in the power of performance. Jean Valjean is not just a middle-aged man. His vicissitudes, tribulation and pain are the tragedy of the whole era, and the change of character is the most important part of the whole drama.

Twenty two years old means young, which means immature. Maybe it's the right choice to challenge Hamlet; But, Jean Valjean, it was a demented decision.

So he must be fully prepared to meet all possible potential challenges.

"You know it's a big yawn." Cameron did not hide his doubts. Yawning is actually bragging. But then he saw Langley's confident posture, no panic, no excuse, no urgency, but a mature calm, which made Cameron laugh, "well, you certainly don't mind if I change your audition content?"

This is a question sentence, but it is also an affirmative sentence.

Lanli's heart began to beat wildly. He knew that the absolute opportunity had come, and the curiosity of two audition videos had finally opened the door. Next, let's see today's stage performance.

"Marius and Enjolras, choose one." Cameron raised his chin, indicating the direction of the stage, "performing the bridge between red and black." Cameron finished the explanation with a simple sentence, then turned his head and looked at lenley. He was silent for a moment. It seemed that he was giving lenley a choice of time, but his playful eyes were extremely determined.

Lanli knew that the choice was not in his hands. So he chose to be silent.

Sure enough, then Cameron nodded with a smile, "Enjolras. You play Enjolras. That is Marius on the stage
