Chapter 763

Eddie Redman was a little out of breath, as if he had been hit hard in the chest, not painful, but stuffy.

Cameron's understatement interrupted his audition; To make matters worse, everyone turned to pay close attention to the conversation between Cameron and Langley. It's not just the crew of les miserables, it's the other west end actors, it's like an invisible spotlight.

But here's the problem: the stage is under his feet, the spotlight is on him, and the performance is in his hands. This is his moment! This should be his shining moment! It should be a glorious moment for him to shine on the stage, prove his strength and win the role! His lightning, his thunder, his light were stolen.

It's heavy and stuffy. It's a terrible feeling. It's terrible.

chill. Eddie clenched his fist hard. The aristocratic education and etiquette education from childhood to adulthood made him suppress all his agitation and gradually calm down. He needs to focus on his performance. He should focus on his audition, not an amateur actor.

"The empty chair beside the empty table", Eddie began to review the whole performance aria in his mind, brewing emotions and emotions.

"Pa pa", two clear applause, let everyone's eyes cast in the past, Eddie is no exception, in the theater corridor, he saw Cameron's figure, is moving back to the front row area of "les miserables" crew gathered, but did not see the figure of Langley.

"Let's listen to the duet between Marius and Enjolras. The next five auditions are arranged in this way. Let's see the spark between Marius and Enjolras. " Turning around, Cameron looked at the actors sitting behind him. "Prepare for the audition of Enjolras. Now line up and go backstage in order."

Marius and Enjolras?

These two are close revolutionary partners. Their family background and ambition are very similar. They are not only close friends, but also comrades in arms. However, Marius fell in love with Cosette, which changed their fate - Enjolras died in the revolution, while Marius was rescued by Jean Valjean and reunited with Cosette.

"Red and black." next, perform the bridge. Well... Eddie Redman? " Cameron's call made Eddie look up, "change the aria temporarily, you need a little preparation time. If you can't, you can postpone one performance order and wait for the next group to come up again... "

"No, I can." Before Cameron finished, Eddie interrupted and volunteered, "I have no problem with all the arias of Marius." This is the basic quality of a dramatic actor. What's more, "red and black" is a relatively easier aria than "empty chair beside empty table".

"Red and black" is a part of the whole scene, from the aria of "ABC coffee red and black".

The background of the whole story is that all the people with lofty ideals of revolution gathered in ABC coffee shop to discuss major events, but Marius was lost in love with Cosette at first sight, and all his friends began to tease Marius - Marius, who never cared about men's love and women's love, was enlightened, which is really rare. Marius, however, did not deny that he had fallen in love.

"Red and black" is the aria in this background. Marius and Enjolras came and went, not tit for tat, but a battle of momentum.

Looking up, Eddie was about to ask who would play his Enjolras; Then I saw a figure on the front left side of the stage. He walked up the steps with a warm smile on his face. It's Langley.

Eddie's pupils narrowed slightly, and without waiting to ask, Cameron's voice came from the audience again, "this is Enjolras. You're ready. "

Then Tom hob's chuckle came, "what's going on? Temporary arrangement? Such an accident does not necessarily produce the best results. "

"But it is the most direct manifestation of strength. It's a theater stage, not a Hollywood scene. " Cameron's words of indifference followed.

……

The following words gradually disappeared.

First of all, he was angry, and he was once again compared with that man, like gum that could not be thrown off; Then there is shame. He and the guy who is fishing for fame are put on the same stage. Is this underestimating his strength or overestimating that person's strength; Then is firm and resolute, all speaks by the strength, the stage will not lie, the strength and the disparity are superior to stand!

In a flash, his mood was turbulent. After going through the ups and downs quickly, he regained his calm. However, the hidden turbulent undercurrent made him start to fight high spirited, and his arm muscles began to tighten unconsciously. Finally, he curled up into a fist and secretly cheered for himself!

All the confused thoughts are precipitated and the attention is gathered again. As Cameron said, temporary unexpected test, this is a crisis, but also a good opportunity. For actors with poor strength, this may be the beginning of a nightmare; But for the outstanding actors, the wonderful performance under the crisis situation is the best proof of absolute strength! More importantly——

Looking up, Eddie looks at blue. Lan Li seemed to notice the surging of the gas field in advance, and raised his eyes at the same time. His eyes crossed in the air. Then Lan Li showed a friendly smile and nodded to say hello; Eddie's mouth also pulled out a kind radian and nodded back. He collided, separated and then moved away.

There was a faint smell of gunpowder in the air.

Defeat Lan Li! In the face-to-face duel, defeat Lan Li with dignity! This is his chance and his stage. He will prove himself with his own performance! He wants to tell every actor in the west end that the orthodox college actors are different after all, and they are definitely not comparable to those pseudo college actors who are half baked and take refuge in the Hollywood camp!

After today, all the comparisons, all the arguments, all the messages can be completely disappeared, completely left in this theater, completely strangled on this stage. In an academic duel!

Thinking of this, Eddie once again raised his chin, firmly straightened his back, paced back and forth, relaxed his muscles, and began to recall the melody, lyrics and emotions of "red and black" in his mind. Langley hall, he will let everyone know how vulnerable this guy is, how beautiful this guy is!

On the stage, the two actors are immersed in their own thoughts and enter the state in their own way. Eddie seems to have closed his eyes, paced back and forth, completely absorbed in his thoughts; Lan Li stood in the same place, simply doing warm-up exercise, relaxing his limbs, but his eyes could see a trace of concentration.

Two people stand on the same stage, but there is no intersection. There seems to be an invisible air wall between them, which separates them. The invisible but turbulent air flow is quietly changing the air field of the whole stage. This kind of situation is impossible to appear in the film studio, but it is common on the drama stage, and the faint expectation begins to rise quietly.

The staff came up in an orderly way, and put three sets of tables and chairs in addition to the original set of tables and chairs. One corner of ABC coffee shop was finished, and then it went down like the tide; After waiting for a while, the stage lights began to change. All the lights in the second half of the stage went out. The first half left a cream yellow light, while the part aiming at the four sets of tables was a bright yellow light. The sense of hierarchy gradually appeared.

Both actors realized it was a sign of readiness.

Eddie stepped forward quickly, took the lead in sitting on the chair, adjusted his posture and movement, and gradually entered the Marius mode; But blue rite is quite different.

Lan Li didn't rush forward, but stood in the same place and walked around for a few times. The rhythm of his steps gradually changed. At the same time, the whole person's temperament slowly changed, just like Sichuan changed its face. That change is not an earthshaking subversion, but a subtle change.

The expression on Lan Li's face gradually disappeared, but it was not stiff. Instead, he relaxed completely and slightly closed his chin. His low-key posture contrasted with his confident posture. His eyes were concise and deep. He looked straight ahead, vigorous, unswerving and ambitious, but he always kept an introverted and low-key posture, The soul that has experienced the baptism of war is so firm and powerful!

More important is the pace, stride, but calm; Eager, but not chaotic. It's just a change of posture, and then a few strides, walking towards the table and chair, the knife immediately sat down. The role of Enjolras has already been outlined.

Cameron and Tom, who are sitting in the audience, exchange their views, leaving Jean Valjean aside. However, it must be admitted that it is almost effortless for Langley to play Enjolras, even the young and handsome face and gentleman's elegant temperament are tightly stitched together.

Eddie on the other side is also well behaved, with steady steps and steady posture, but his face is shining with bright and confused light. The joy and anxiety of worrying about gain and loss can vaguely show the hesitation and excitement of being immersed in love. However, I don't know whether it's prudence or nervousness, Eddie's action is still not completely open, and the whole mood is not full enough.

But it's just a show. It can be seen that Eddie's basic skills are solid, which is enough to make people slightly appreciate.

Cameron, sitting in the audience, raised his hand, and the staff standing backstage began to play the background music of the "red and black" aria. In the real performance, there is a drawer like space under the stage, in which the members of the whole symphony orchestra hide and perform live; But today it's just an audition. The recording is enough.

The grand symphony Prelude starts slowly, melodious and majestic, reverberating in the whole theater.
