Applause, crazy applause, thunderous applause, like a tsunami swept.
How many years has the west end not seen such warm applause? Even if a play really ends, they haven't felt such enthusiasm for many years, which is enough to make 550 audience forget themselves; But "les miserables" is just the end of the first act.
This is really incredible; But, it's really on.
Arthur hall stood up. Not out of politeness, but out of exclamation. Standing on the stage, Lan Li didn't seem to be the brother he was familiar with. He was so strange that he could hardly recognize him, not because of his makeup, but because of the vitality in his eyes.
That majestic vitality, for the role, for the performance into a distinctive temperament. Arthur was a little envious of such Langley.
It was Arthur's first time to see Langley's performance with his own eyes. Previous films, Arthur did not interest, will not watch; But today, for the first time, Arthur really felt the burning passion in Langley's body. It seemed that he was born to perform. It was because of this passion that Langley left home and went to the other side of the Atlantic Ocean; It is also because of this enthusiasm that lanli has become an alien of the hall family, triggering a series of fuse.
In aristocratic life, they did not allow this passion to exist. But now, Arthur saw the light of blue Li's body, and he finally understood Edith's words“ I admire and admire Langley. Because I will never be lanli. In him, we all have lost things. "
When he saw in his sight that Lan Li was speeding up like a moth to the front of the stage, he burst out with a strong momentum that he would not hesitate to break into pieces. Arthur admitted that he was scared and his heart stopped beating. This kind of emotion could not exist in the upper class, or even be forbidden.
But then, Langley took control, as if nothing had really gone out of control. Then, the powerful force came.
Before he realized it, Arthur stood up, clapped, clapped wildly. He didn't even remember when he felt such a shock in the west end. It seemed that all the performances and plays in the past had become insignificant and dim at the moment.
After the impulse, after all, years of discipline education restrained body movements. He turned his head and saw the dunlops and domers sitting in the box next door. In the dark and the crowd, Eaton's figure is a little fuzzy, and can only capture Matthew in the front.
At this time, Matthew stood tall and straight, like a pine, clapping his hands hard, and his eyes burst out a similar light, which Arthur envied.
Then, Arthur noticed the excitement and madness of the Almeida theater. All the audience stood up and couldn't stop the tumultuous applause, because it was the only way to relieve their high spirits.
With the advance of time, the applause has not weakened, but there are signs of continued warming. It's incredible.
Finally, her eyes fell on the figure beside her, Alf hall.
ALF also stood up, but her manner was so elegant, elegant and classical, quiet and calm. However, this elegance was a little bit cold in the boiling enthusiasm of the whole audience, just like an iceberg, surrounded by the gurgling volcanic magma, still unmoved.
Arthur and alf have known each other all their lives. He can feel ALF's mood fluctuation. Under the calm appearance, he can smell ALF's panic and shock, and the surging emotion is rampant; He can capture the surprise and amazement in ALF's eyes, which is more obvious in the dim light. However, all the excitement is hidden under the frost.
At last, he clapped gracefully like a nobleman, without enthusiasm, smoke, or even the sound of clapping her hands. She was just an appropriate and perfect lady; The high head, the strong and straight spine, seems to be safeguarding the dignity of their nobles, and the dignity of the name "Hall".
At this moment, Arthur tasted bitterness and sadness.
Arthur knew that everyone was paying attention to the hall family's every move. If they were too excited or too admired, they would not only make a gaffe, but also admit defeat and lose to lenley. There was no need to wait until tomorrow. After tonight's performance, the hall family would become a joke.
Therefore, ALF, who represents the hall family, must hide all her emotions and just send a polite response; The arrogant gesture still drew a clear line between each other, indicating the position of the hall family: we still despise such performances and actors.
ALF, no choice; ALF, perfect.
In Arthur's eyes, the perfect Langley and the perfect ALF, however, outline a ridiculous and sad arc, which is hidden in the shadow, nobody knows. Looking back again at the blue Li under the spotlight, the light gradually dimmed down, only vaguely outlined a figure, but unprecedented, Arthur was a little envious.
Deep down, Arthur had a stranglehold. George and Elizabeth didn't see it. He really thought they should see it.
In the balcony box next door, Henry Dunlop elbowed his younger brother and asked in a low voice, "Jesus Christ, has Langley always been so talented?"
Matthew looked back and saw Henry's puzzled face.
Among the aristocracy in London, the hall family's external view has never changed: Langley is willing to go to Hollywood to be associated with ordinary entertainment stars. He has no talent and talent, and can only rely on his appearance to occupy a place.
For aristocrats, film is one of the means of entertainment, but it is not on the list of daily choices. Lan Li has performed many works and made a lot of news, but it's a bit surprising that most nobles have never seen Lan Li's works, which is a fact.
Matthew's smile rose slightly from the corner of his mouth, and then he pursed, "he's a genius." He said so. There is no superfluous modification, incomparably simple words, but it is enough.
Henry retracted his jaw. "I believe it." Then, Henry's applause became more intense, expressing his admiration.
Today, with the premiere of the Almeida theater version of "les miserables", Andre, Matthew and Eaton have fully developed their own contacts. More than two thirds of noble families in London have received at least one invitation.
Maybe it's out of the face of aristocratic social occasions, maybe it's out of the mentality of watching the hall family's good play. The premiere has become one of the hottest events in London's upper class in May. Those aristocrats who didn't receive the invitation were indignant and lonely, because they were not the most popular social center group.
But no matter what the mentality, at this moment, the situation in Dunlop's box is in full swing——
The youngest son of the hall family is making his debut in a shocking manner, which has shocked the whole west end.
There was a lot of applause. Even if Lan Li left the stage, the applause still did not stop. One minute, two minutes, three minutes... This is just the end of the first act of "les miserables". They ushered in a three minute storm of applause, and it continued, so passionate, so generous, so excited.
After the performance, Lan Li returned to the side stage, and then saw the staff and other actors standing on the side stage. Everyone was clapping, everyone was watching, and the bright eyes were shining with excitement and excitement, as if everyone had been infected.
So is the audience, so is the crew, and no one can be an exception.
The real performance has a soul stirring and shocking power. And just now, Langley did it.
But for Lan Li, this is only the first step of the long march. The six hour play has just finished for 40 minutes; The most important feature of expressionism is that it can be freely retracted and released, and the emotion on the stage remains on the stage. After leaving the stage, the actor must return to reality——
Because there are more performances and more stories to prepare next, actors can't stay in the last scene, or it will only cause chain effect and completely destroy all the performances behind.
So, after leaving the stage, lanli had calmed down the agitation. At the moment, seeing those eyes, Lan Li could not help but be slightly stunned, and then, dumbfounded.
This play is really full of vitality, and all the 18 kinds of martial arts have been brought into full play. This is the peak level of lanli at present. It seems that lanli has never been so free and unreservedly released in any work before, even if he is "detached"; But today, Langley really touched his limit.
He likes the feeling, he enjoys the performance. Every minute is so happy, every moment is so full. This is the meaning of his existence, this is the goal of his life, this is all his dreams.
"God, I love this stage."
Blue Li showed a brilliant smile, calmly accepted the applause and cheers, and then nodded to the staff, "the next scene is about to start, we must start to prepare." Lanli also needs to step on the stage immediately, but before that, he needs to wipe off his make-up and change a suit of clothes. Moreover, he is still an aristocrat's dress. The process is very complicated, and every minute counts.
Don't want to, stand beside the staff responsible for recording the performance sequence, but happily laughed, "you should see the status quo in the theater."
Applause, can not stop, as if the whole world is in submission.
