Chapter 930

In the afternoon in the west end of London, there is a stream of cars coming and going, and the surging crowds near Oxford Street come from time to time, or the afternoon performance three times a week attracts tourists from all over the world; But, after all, the lack of a bit of night after the bizarre and dazzling neon, there is always a lack of lively illusion.

Today is the exception.

The gate of Almeida theater is bustling, vigorous and full of siege, literally——

There are more than 30 reporters just at the gate of the theater, which can't hold so many reporters at all. Therefore, they are arranged in two orderly rows, extending all the way out to welcome everyone who leaves the theater.

Such a grand occasion is rare in the west end.

The premiere night of the theater is not the premiere ceremony of the film. The reporters do not have the priority to enter, and the actors will not walk on the red carpet and stand at the gate of the theater. The only object they can interview is the audience; With the rise of the Internet, drama critics are also used to writing their own comments in the network column or newspaper column, and publish directly without interview.

Gradually, the opening night for reporters to interview the drama began to become routine: going to the theater to film the audience's grand entrance; Enter the backstage to interview the main creator's feelings; Then, the critics' comments are published. That's the end.

This kind of work is too simple and easy, and more of it is the responsibility of interns. Before the opening, at most 20 journalists are amazing; After the opening, it broke up.

But today, this afternoon, when all the reporters present are added up, there will be at least 70 or more; And I waited around the theater for three hours without leaving. Such treatment, even if Helen Mirren won the little gold medal of the year after returning to the west end, also can not feel.

The bustling audience was scattered in all the open spaces on both sides of the street. Not only Almeida theater, but also several other nearby theaters were implicated. At least 200 spectators occupied all the surrounding blocks, and the vehicles had to slow down to avoid touching the crowd at the edge of the shoulder.

Such a grand occasion is also very rare in the west end of London.

These audiences are all enthusiastic supporters who have not been able to buy tickets for the premiere night, and more than half of them are still holding up their brands tirelessly, eager to pick up a leak and get a premiere ticket; The remaining half of the audience are all for lanli, looking forward to being able to surround lanli near the theater and have close contact.

Neither the former nor the latter has been seen in the west end for many years. It's not only because the number of art enthusiasts in the west end is decreasing, but also because the hot plays in the west end are on every day. If you miss today, there will always be tomorrow - what's more, the same play will be on at the Almeida theatre in the next three months.

Even on the night of the premiere, such a scene is still jaw dropping, which really makes people deeply feel the appeal of "Langley hall".

After returning to the UK, he completely and practically disappeared for ten weeks. He was completely immersed in the world of the west end of London, diligently polishing his performance and preparing his role. There was no news or interview, which was not much different from disappearing.

After the Oscars ceremony, lanli declined all kinds of interviews, not even telephone interviews, let alone face-to-face interviews.

As the youngest Oscar winner in film history, there are countless auras around lanli, and the media trying to interview are numerous. Rumor has it that lanli has refused more than 133 media exclusive interviews. As for other forms of interviews, it is even more impossible to count the number of rejections.

Such a move is absolutely a shame for the uncrowned king. If all the media join hands to ban Langley, not to mention the Oscar winner, even the top tycoons like Steven Spielberg and Harvey Weinstein will be ruined.

However, the whole news circle was calm and did not respond.

Take a look at the rejection list of Langley, "New York Times", "time", "times", "American weekly", "People Weekly", "Hollywood Reporter", "Vanity Fair", "Washington Post", "new Yorker"... Even these industry leaders are indifferent, how can other news media make their own decisions?

However, in ten weeks, there was no news or interview. One second ago, lanli was the winner of the little golden man who made history; The next second, Langley fell to earth and became an ordinary West End actor. It was so fierce that people couldn't adapt.

To this day.

Looking at the scene in front of the Almeida theater, the answer is clear. After returning to the UK, the popularity and support of the young actor has not weakened at all. On the contrary, it has continued to rise slowly. The dedicated attitude and down-to-earth style have won more recognition in the industry.

At this moment, in front of the grand occasion, this is still in the case that the word of mouth of "miserable world" has not been released. If this play has a big word of mouth, then

The crowds of congestion, boiling and enthusiasm gathered at the gate of Almeida theatre. Under the red glow at 6 pm, they outlined the unique style of the west end of London.

All of a sudden, the gate inside the theater seems to have opened, and an upsurge is rushing out from slow to fast, from slow to rapid.

Mark Lacant and his friends are not the first to leave the theatre, mixed in the dense crowd, he also fell behind, the front of the congestion, seriously affected the traffic, but they did not care, the heat toward the world to share their ideas and experience, excited mood simply can not stop.

When he walked out of the theater, the interview recorder beside him still came up enthusiastically and excitedly, "excuse me, how do you feel about the performance this afternoon?"

"Incredible All the words in Mark's mind turned into the simplest words, and then he exclaimed, "incredible, really incredible. I mean, it's definitely one of the best performances! Absolutely

"Wonderful! How wonderful Katarina kefler, standing nearby, could not wait to shout, "Yo Hoo! It's really worth the ticket! To be honest, I haven't seen enough of it in three hours! Now I know that the whole play only lasts six hours. I'm really disappointed. Why can't it last twelve hours? " Katarina jumped up excitedly. "Ah, I want to see it a second time before it's over."

"How did Lan Li behave?" The reporter's question did not have time to drop the voice, and then he got the answer, "perfect!"

Around a small circle of the audience, almost with one voice to shout. After that, everyone exchanged a sight, and then laughed together. Mark eagerly repeated, "perfect! True perfection! God, when you're sitting in the theater, the only thought in your mind is, surrender, worship! "

"Those are two ideas." Chuck Smith make complaints about it.

Mark didn't care. He laughed happily. "So there are two ideas. You can really feel the power of acting. God, lenley really reminds me why I like movies so much and why I like lenley so much! Jesus Christ, he's really wonderful

Without waiting for a reporter to ask, Kristen schutler added, "you know what? For the past 10 weeks, Langley has spent 12 hours a day rehearsing on stage and then six hours in the practice room. I really can't imagine what it means for an actor, but I'm sure that I'm 22 years old and I can't be so focused and engaged. "

"All the sweat and hard work can be felt on the stage today." Mark nodded. "You know, his performance is really enjoyable. As long as he stands on the stage, even if it's just the background, you can't shift your attention from him. He's really born for performance. "

A stream of praise came down, but the reporter standing next to him was used to it. He couldn't help laughing. "Jesus Christ, your words make this play full of attraction." The young people in front of us are not the only one. To be exact, all the audience interviewed just now are highly praised.

One hundred percent. What does that mean? It's a six hour experimental play, and it's also a familiar classic play, but it can get 100% praise. It's really incredible!

"You should!" They all yelled together again, and then they all burst into laughter. Mark nodded, "you should buy tickets as soon as possible, and then go to the theater to watch the play in person. Believe me, standing outside the theater for an interview means you miss the whole world. "

After that, without waiting for the reporter to continue to respond, mark and others rushed forward. No one cared about the people they knew or didn't know. They just pondered over the two same voices just now, and then rushed to express their views.

Such a scene is just the tip of the iceberg in front of Almeida theater. Almost every reporter collected interview samples, are consistent, praise, praise, or praise!

"Alistair, Alistair!" The drama critics who fell behind began to appear one after another, and the reporters besieged and stepped forward again, "from the performance in the first half, how about the quality of the play", "does Lan Li's performance meet the expectation", "is the level of the play worth looking forward to"

In the face of the surging recording pen, Alistair and Nick look at each other with a smile. They don't answer or respond. They turn away from the reporter and head straight ahead with laughter and talk. They won't express their views until the end of the play; However, the smile between the eyebrows seems to reveal the secret.

Reporters looked at each other, eyeground showed a similar shock: is it really going to explode?
