Chapter 944

The whole Almeida theatre was immersed in applause. The applause was so crazy that the whole theatre began to shake, and the roof seemed to be crumbling. The huge applause broke away from the constraints of the theatre walls, broke through the strong darkness, and began to reverberate among the streets in the west end of London.

So shocking, so breathtaking, so soul stirring.

The reporters waiting at the door were stunned, the spectators waiting at the street were stunned, even the bystanders passing by the theater could not help but stop, calm down and listen, "Pa Pa Pa!" It's just applause, simple and pure applause, but such simple applause contains endless emotional information

Excitement, excitement, longing, love, happiness, joy, joy, respect and admiration.

The great applause, like a tornado, began to sweep through the Almeida theater. Because the applause was too loud and too surging, the reporters and the audience outside the theater could not help looking at each other face to face. Their eyes showed shock and amazement, but then there was a strong desire——

They want to see the play with their own eyes. Even if it's six hours, even if its tickets have been sold, even if it's only premiere night tonight; Even if I didn't see the critics' affirmation, at this moment, the thunderous applause is the best explanation and the best invitation.

Everyone knows clearly from the bottom of his heart that the Almeida theatre has been a success, a brilliant and magnificent success.

Ned Mulan's eyes are filled with wonder. He can't remember when the last time he felt such a heat wave in the west end of London was. Is it the west end version of "jump out of my world"? No, no, it should have been earlier. The memory has become blurred. Looking up and away, Ned can catch similar information in the eyes of other journalists:

be curious. Excited. excitement. Look forward to it.

Outside the theater, I can't wait to see it; But the theater didn't care at all, because they didn't come out of the repertoire at this moment. They just clapped and clapped their hands enthusiastically, with the warmest, highest and most excited applause, they gave the highest respect.

The applause lasted for two minutes, and there was no weakening trend. Then the stage lights lit up slowly. Joe Alvin, who plays Marius, and Charlotte Kennedy, who plays Cosette, joined hands on the stage to make a curtain call. The applause on the scene rose to a higher level again.

After they reached the front, they bowed their knees to salute the audience, then separated, one to the left and the other to the right, and stood on both sides of the stage. At the same time, they began to applaud and welcome their colleagues to the stage.

Then, the actors went on stage in pairs to accept the baptism of applause. Small stage, gradually full of actors, the last, when the figure of blue - hall appeared in the line of sight, the whole riot!

The hot applause once again raised three full heights, and any adjective was eclipsed at the moment. Mark stirred his hands hard and again, raised his chin, and looked at Lan Li in sight. Tears began to surge again, almost uncontrollable. His mood seemed to have completely collapsed, but it was so beautiful.

Just clapping. Tonight, mark really surrendered to it. The actor in front of him broke away from the shackles of age and stage. He really showed the acme of performance and sublimated an excellent play into a classic! This kind of actor is very exciting.

Lanli stepped onto the stage. The enthusiastic applause was so fierce that his eardrum began to ache. He stepped forward and was welcomed by his colleagues and actors to the forefront of the stage. At this moment, applause broke through the acme and reached the peak.

There is no end to the black sea of people, boundless and surging, but everyone is using the action of clapping to express all their feelings, as if the whole world is crawling in front of the stage, crawling at their feet.

The emotion in his chest began to stir up, and it was hard to restrain. Lan Li just quietly enjoyed the ocean of applause. Then he raised his right hand and covered his chest. Under his palm, the rhythm and sound of heart beat came clearly, powerful and strong, reminding him:

It's true, it's all true.

At this moment, he had the world.

In an instant, my eyes were warm, but not too sad and fragile. Instead, I raised the corner of my mouth, bowed respectfully and politely, and expressed my gratitude.

The actors and the audience are not subordinate. The actors give their performances, while the audience enjoy the stage performance. The art that no one appreciates is only self admiration after all; Similarly, performances without stage are only for self entertainment after all. At this moment, they are the same, feeling the same emotions, also feel the same satisfaction.

Langley did not look for ALF and Arthur in the crowd. Because he knows that he doesn't need their approval. It was the same before, and it will be the same in the future.

At the end of the curtain call, Lan Li turned around and called on all the actors. He took the curtain call with his shoulders and expressed his sincere thanks to the audience for their appreciation and company. Then, the crimson curtain came down slowly, announcing the formal end of the performance.

However, the applause still did not stop, and there was no sign that the great applause would stop. In the wave after wave of calls, the actors appeared on the stage again and again, sincerely, formally and politely expressing their thanks for being able to sit in the theater for six hours, and for being able to understand the essence of the play, I also thank them for going through the history of "miserable world" together.

After three curtain calls, applause finally began to fall; But, strangely, it still did not stop. This time, whistles and shouts gradually began to stand out, urgently and earnestly calling the actors to take the stage for the fourth time.

Just like Encore in the concert, the curtain call in the west end and Broadway is the same. The more times, the more satisfied and enthusiastic the audience is, because it is the only way and the best way for them to express their gratitude. Now in the west end of London, two curtain calls are generally standard, and three curtain calls are already rare - a small gap in the number of times, but in real life, it is very different.

Tonight, after three curtain calls, the enthusiasm still hasn't completely subsided. That's the charm of the west end.

Under the sincere call, the main actors of "les miserables" took the stage for the fourth time and took a curtain call again. After nearly ten minutes of applause, incredible energy broke out again. The whole Almeida theater has been immersed in the ocean of applause, clearly showing the real feelings of every audience.

Still, this is not the end.

"Langley, you have to be on the stage again." John corder held on to the sweaty lanli.

After six hours of performance, especially the high-quality and high-intensity performance, lanli always controls the rhythm and level of the whole play, and the energy and physical strength paid are incalculable. Today's lanli is even more tired than shooting three movies in a row. He can't even move his fingers, and his spirit is tight to the extreme. After that, he is facing a wave of tiredness.

That's why it's difficult to perform in the west end. What's more, they are not just a fight, they have to continue every day. The extreme of hard work, the end of the test, naturally more harvest. This is also the fundamental reason why the basic skills of British actors are so solid - at least most of them.

"John, four curtain calls are enough. We don't have to set a precedent." Lan Li didn't even have the strength to smile. He just outlined the corner of his mouth.

"Langley, they're calling you." Tom Holland said excitedly. After six hours of performance, he was still as energetic as a flea. Of course, Enjolras didn't play that much“ Do you hear me? Are they calling you? " Then Tom began to sing, "do you hear people singing, do you..."

This made Lan Li dumbfounded and laughed, and even Charlotte, Joe, Daisy and others beside him began to follow suit.

John spread out his hands. "You'll know if it is or not." Then, John didn't say much. He took lanli to the side of the stage, and there was a cry in his ear, "lanli! Lanli! Blue

The uniform call is so firm, so enthusiastic, so surging, and so clear at the same time. This makes blue Li not from froze——

The west end is harsh, and the pickiness and strictness of the audience are well known. Only the real top actors, those familiar and talented top actors, can enjoy such treatment on this stage. Now, Langley is enjoying it.

Looking back, Lan Li saw the excited colleagues, actors and proud John. At last, Lan Li himself was dumbfounded and didn't refuse any more. He firmly stepped forward and stepped onto the stage. Then, the curtain slowly opened——

The applause, strangely, reached its climax again. It was not as loud and magnificent as it was at the beginning, but it was gradually and gradually rising, and swarming towards Lan Li in the middle of the stage.

Lan Li just stood in the same place, no redundant action, no redundant words, but the applause began to rise, beautiful and moving, gently but heavily hit the softest part of the heart, moved and joy suddenly hit on, the nose can not help but acid.

This is his moment, this is his stage. This is still his life.

Lan Li opened his arms, hugged his own applause, and wandered in the warm and loud. His eyes were hazy and full of gorgeous halo. Then he folded his hands, put them in front of him and bowed deeply. For a long time, he didn't stand up, and expressed his thanks with the most sincere and sincere gesture.

Applause, long time!
