Chapter 924

Standing behind the curtain of the side platform, peeping secretly, you can see the outline of all the audience standing up and clapping; The interior lighting of the theater is not bright, only the dark blue light on the stage is refracting, but everything is so clear that it can even capture the excitement and excitement on the faces.

All the 550 spectators, without exception, stood up. After three minutes of thunderous applause, not only did it not stop, but it continued to heat up. Whistles, screams and cheers gradually began to mix in, one wave higher than the other, and there was no end in sight.

Tom Holland stood on the side platform and looked at him quietly. His eyes began to surge with excited light. He raised his head and looked up at lanli beside him. His eyes were full of worship and admiration. His eyes were so hot that lanli, who was talking with the staff, felt it. He couldn't help turning his head and showed doubts in his eyes.

"Lan Li! You are the best Tom looked at Lan Li with astonishment and adoration. He sighed and thought about it. After all, he couldn't think of a better word, so he said again, "God, you are so wonderful!"

Lan Li was dumbfounded. Although Tom is sixteen, and Langley is only twenty-two, in Langley's eyes, Tom really looks like a child; So he raised his hand and rubbed Tom's dark brown curls. "Focus, focus on your performance. The real test hasn't started yet."

Tom put out his tongue, nodded, and then clenched his fist to show his determination.

At this time, John - corder strode over, stepped in between blue and staff, patted blue on the shoulder, "good performance, I know you can do it."

Just "good"?

The others beside him rolled up their eyes one after another. Tom was even more startled, but John was not moved. It's too early to say "perfect" before the performance is over. This is a truth that every stage director must remember. Because on the stage, accidents never stop.

John motioned to the applause scene. "They're calling you out now."

Compared with Broadway, the west end of London is still a more professional theatre environment, and even the average level of visitors to the theatre is relatively high. The main reason is that the west end plays are too cold to be as approachable as Broadway. On the whole, the quality of the audience in the west end is more guaranteed.

Now, however, there are inappropriate whistles, screams and cheers inside the theatre.

Generally speaking, there is only applause inside the theater, and other sounds are impolite. This is not a cinema, let alone in front of your own TV; Applause is one of the basic etiquette of the theater. But today, at the end of the first act, there was such an exception.

Obviously, the audience is marveling at Langley's performance. The end of the first act is almost like the end of the whole play. They can't wait and forget to start cheering and shouting, looking forward to Lan Li's curtain call, just like Encore in a concert. This is the highest praise for the crew.

The general repertoire, at the end of the whole show, calls for two curtain calls, which is an unimaginable great success; But a few decades ago, at the peak of the theater, the members of the crew returned four or even five times, which was normal. The applause in the theater could last for 10 or 20 minutes, truly interpreting "enduring".

Now, at the end of the first act, the audience is calling back. From this, we can see that "miserable world" has taken a very solid step on the road to success.

Langley can understand John's meaning, in fact, is to let him go out to take the curtain call; But Langley shook his head and refused John's request. "Don't break the rhythm."

He can go out to take the curtain call. It's not a big deal; But then there's a long show, with two more acts in the afternoon. All the actors are in a tense and positive state. If he comes to the curtain call now and further incites the audience, it will disrupt the performance rhythm of other actors, which is definitely not worth the loss.

"Lights out, curtain down, we start to prepare for the second act." Lanli said decisively.

John didn't continue to explain, just looked at the blue Li's eyes, felt the firm, so John also nodded in agreement, "the second act is ready!" After that, John's steps to leave stopped again. He seemed to want to say something, but he didn't know how to express it. At last, he just patted lenley heavily on the shoulder to encourage him, and then he walked away.

Ezra Miller, domnal Gleason, Andy conahan and others all stood on the side platform and did not leave.

Ezra was the first to come forward and thumped Lansley on the shoulder. "Jesus Christ, you are a beast, beast!" His face was full of excitement and excitement.

It's hard to imagine what a terrible disaster it would be if they had all the firepower in their opponent's play; Fortunately, lenley didn't; Fortunately, lanli became the target they looked up to, guiding them step by step in the performance“ The success of les miserables, at least the success of the first act, is the core of the absolute core.

Andy, who was standing beside him, chuckled, "Wow, it's good you didn't stare at me like that just now, otherwise I would have forgotten my lines."

Different from the movie, the play on the stage lacks the blocking and switching of the lens, and also lacks the conversion and buffering of the supporting play. After the direct momentum and the details of the performance are completely released, it is easy to break the balance of the performance, create a serious deviation, and even affect the viewing effect of the audience and the reflective effect of the play.

This is also the reason why Expressionists always emphasize control. They need to keep all their strength, emotions and performances within their expectations.

Many new actors may be too excited on the stage and lose control if they are not careful. This kind of thing can be two or three; It's really a pleasure to watch the veteran actors who really bring their basic skills into full play.

"That's what the actors who have finished all the acting tasks today said Lanli retorts with ridicule, and immediately makes Andy laugh, and other people around him also follow suit——

Andy's part is over. At least the part with the lines is over.

After that, Andy will change his clothes and make-up, play a passer-by or a mass actor, and fill the space of the stage, but these roles have no lines or performances, just need to walk according to the arrangement. So Andy can relax.

Nodding to his friends, Lan Li quickly went to the waiting room. He had to change his clothes and make-up as soon as possible.

Tom is like a little tail, following lanli step by step. Along the way, he is satisfied with his smile, brisk and has no too much communication, but he can't hide his joy.

Blue Li noticed the existence of little tail, but now there is really no time, let alone Tom did not affect his steps, so blue Li also let go.

After entering the standby room, you can see Joe Alvin, who has no part for the time being. Two people face to face almost collided together, Joe's cheek suddenly red up, blinked, at a loss, and then put up his hands thumbs, "blue Li, just now, just now is really wonderful!"

"Thank you Langley bypassed the road, patted Joe on the shoulder, and then heard Tom's chirp, "Joe, do you hear me? Did you hear that just now? You should go and have a look. Lanli's performance is incredible! Did you see the scene of his sprint... "

With the help of his assistant, lanli began to change clothes quickly. Every actor is equipped with an exclusive assistant who is responsible for changing clothes, reminding the next play's lines, reminding the current performance progress and so on, so as to ensure that the actors can enter the state at the first time.

Not only lanli, Ezra also immediately returned to the standby room and began to change clothes and make-up. The whole standby room was busy.

Through the mirror in front of you, you can see Daisy Redley standing not far away. She has an indecisive expression on her face. She never speaks, but the tension and uneasiness between her eyebrows are lingering.

After changing his clothes and trousers, Langley turned around and opened his arms to help the assistant put on his coat. He was facing daisy. "So, are you going to talk? Or are you going to keep staring at me with that strange look? " In a hurry, the tone of voice was still a bit of light ridicule. It can be seen that Lan Li was not only not nervous, but also happy in it.

Daisy still hesitated, and lanli didn't give her time. "Tick, tick, if I don't say it again, I won't have time."

"Lanli, I'm worried. I'll sing for a while..." Daisy shrugged nervously, and then her shoulders were stiff in a high position, unable to put them down.

The key actor in the second act is Fantine. In other words, most of the weight falls on Daisy's shoulders. After Langley's perfect performance just now, Daisy's pressure suddenly became clear - what's more, Fantine's most famous "I had a dream" was performed in the second act.

This music is even the most famous song of the whole "miserable world". In 2009, "Britain's got talent show", later known as "Susan Boyle", became famous all over the world with this song!

You can imagine the pressure.

After putting on his coat, Langley quickly stepped forward and grabbed Daisy's shoulder. "Listen, Daisy, you're excellent. It's because of your excellent performance that you won the chance to play Fantine. Next, what you need to do is not to prove yourself, but to show yourself, to show our amazing talents, to show the charm of the performance. And show Fantine! You are Fantine when you step on the stage! Fantine is you

Finish saying, blue Li's eyebrow tail lightly is the same, "understand?"

Daisy nodded heavily. "Got it!"
