Chapter 1058

"The New York Times" and "if there is any doubt, why can Langley hall become the youngest Oscar winner in history? So be sure to come to Broadway and watch the adapted version of les miserables. The young actor's performance is delicate and powerful, tough and turbulent. There is no doubt that he is the leader of the young generation of generation Y! "

"The new Yorker" and "the charm of performance and the tension of drama" have been incisively and vividly displayed on the Broadway stage. Six hours of performance, but still people feel reluctant, unable to extricate themselves, rather than boring, on pins and needles, Langley hall successfully achieved this

"Wall Street Journal" and "for the new generation of young people, even movies have gradually begun to retreat behind the Internet, and Broadway is a thing of the past. But if the younger generation is interested in Broadway, then les miserables is undoubtedly a good and excellent start. It is not only because of the top performances of Langley hall, but also because of the familiar stories and the magnificent background, which truly presents the panorama of a period of history and a period of time. "

"People" magazine, "the most worthy drama in the millennium," les miserables. "

The Chicago Tribune and John corder give this familiar story more profound meaning; And Langley hall gives these meanings a more vivid interpretation

"The Seattle Post", "everyone in the audience, please come into the Richard Rogers theater! It will be the right decision this summer

"New York Post", "if you need a reason to come to Broadway, then Langley hall will be the best answer; If you need a window to understand drama, then Langley hall will also be the best answer. Obviously, no one can refuse the charm of Langley hall, especially when he stands on the stage and shows his strong chest

... and so on, in the midst of praise, the painting style suddenly seems to be a little wrong.

However, this is the style of the "New York Post". Compared with the "New York Times", it is less serious and boring, more humorous and relaxed, and occasionally there will be some ridicule. Of course, this is only relative.

When John cod's version of "les miserables" landed on Broadway, the west end was already well known for its high praise. This is a well-known touring play; But even so, when the media in the U.S. industry published their professional comments for the first time after the premiere night, it still caused a cry of surprise.

The real zero difference criticism works are not "80" zero difference criticism, but "90" or even "95" zero difference criticism, which has pushed the reputation of "miserable world" to the peak.

As everyone knows, drama critics are undoubtedly harsh, tricky and picky. They never scruple the top stars and superstars. They are outspoken, sharp and open-minded; But what people don't understand is that professional drama critics are also dedicated and devoted. For the sake of their favorite drama industry and the dying drama industry, they are so passionate and responsible.

Therefore, for those excellent works, drama critics will never be stingy of their own praise, eager to tell the world, so that everyone can come to the theater and enjoy the charm of the stage. If they can, they are even willing to stand at the gate of the theater and tell every audience how wonderful the play is and how worthy it is to be enjoyed.

In this way, they hope to continue the vitality of drama and survive in this era of fast food.

This time, "les miserables" was treated like this.

For New York Drama Critics, the only regret is that six hours is too long. For the American millennials who lack cultural precipitation and quality, they don't even want to go into the theater and refuse to accept six hours of torture, even if it's a masterpiece.

Under the influence of fast food era and network culture, the younger generation is gradually losing patience, which is a worldwide issue. But comparatively speaking, Europe's cultural heritage is still more profound, so "les miserables" has achieved great success in London and infected young people; In the bombardment of Hollywood popcorn, the spoiled America does not have such precipitation.

This is a pity, but critics have also admitted that this regret is precisely the achievement of the "tragic world" of excellence and excellence, the magnificent details of the eloquence. This is just like "Lawrence of Arabia" and "Ben Hur" in those years. The former is 216 minutes, and the latter is 212 minutes. Sufficient foreshadowing and connotation are the signs of success.

Of course, the same is true of the "Lord of the rings" series in the 21st century.

As a result, the whole new york drama critics are frying pan. The praise is like a tide, the real praise is like a tide, even far beyond imagination. Those calm and low-key drama critics stand out one by one, can't wait to send the praise, and call the audience into the theater to enjoy this rare masterpiece.

Even if people have already made psychological preparations, they are still shocked to witness such a frenzy.

For lanli, critics are full of praise.

This young actor, who is about to turn 23 years old, carries the aura of the youngest Oscar winner in history. He can choose any work in Hollywood, but he chose the west end and Broadway. He spent more than half a year honing himself on the stage. This dedication and concentration has won the recognition of the whole drama industry.

What's more, the solid performing skills, excellent stage ability and delicate rhythm control really show the ability and talent of an actor, endow Jean Valjean with the unique charm, and conquer the critical eyes of critics with absolute strength. This is undoubtedly awe inspiring.

Of course, with his personal reputation, Langley has successfully created a surge of people on Broadway, once again showing people the glory of the peak period, and even hopes to promote the recovery of the whole drama industry. This is a breakthrough for drama critics.

Rumor has it that everyone in the circle of Drama Critics in New York has watched at least five "les miserables", which is the lowest limit, not the average.

Every critic is joining the tide in his own way; At the same time, they also carefully ponder over the play by watching it over and over again, hoping that John COD and lenley hall can do better.

"Les miserables" has become the hottest focus in New York. Not only John and Langley, but also other young actors in the same play, whether they are famous Tom Holland or rookie Joe Alvin, have won a lot of attention, And focus on their future prospects.

From London to New York, the upsurge has continued unabated. Even on the North American continent, the more mature business model and the more deep-rooted market appeal of blue Lee have successfully created bigger, longer and farther waves for the "miserable world".

Three months, a quarter of time, sounds very long, but when you are in it, you can only feel the passing of time. Before you have time to enjoy it, the performance of "les miserables" on Broadway has come to an end.

There are still differences in the whole performance season, with lanli's closing performance as the watershed.

In the two months before that, Richard Rogers theater ushered in a bustling and prosperous scene, which has never been seen in the new century. It is hard to get a real vote. Even the VIP box is like this. From the first day of the opening night to the last day of the closing performance, the entire theater has reached 100% attendance. People can't help joking that the place of the VIP box has become the latest standard to measure the upper class society in New York.

In the following month, the upsurge of Richard Rogers theater rapidly subsided, and the attendance rate of the performance just after Langley's performance dropped to 80%, showing a cliff like decline. It's obviously not good news for the theater, but it also confirms a point: people come here for the sake of lanli, which proves once again the appeal of lanli.

After that, the attendance rate further declined. At the end of all the performances, the average attendance rate remained at about 70%, with low ebb and recovery. On the whole, the box office trend still exceeded expectations, which was above the expectations of theater managers.

This also confirms the prediction of professionals in London and New York: after the curiosity and impulse brought by the personal appeal of Langley, the aftereffects on the drama industry still exist, or more or less will drive the progress of the industry again. But what height can be achieved depends on the quality of subsequent works.

It was a long and difficult journey, but at least they took the first step. It's like Don Quixote and ballads.

As a result, Almeida theatre and Richard Rogers theatre both issued official announcements, officially announcing that "les miserables" will stay in the theatre and continue to perform, adopting a new cast of CASS, while John cod will act as a guest director and producer to ensure the quality of the works; In addition, Langley hall, also known as a co producer, will be responsible for the casting and training of actors.

John cod's version of "les miserables" will be on at least one year at Almeida theatre, while Richard Rogers theatre will be on for six months. Whether the follow-up performance will continue, or even tour in other cities in the world, we will wait and see.

It's a step forward, a huge step forward, for the theater industry, for John and Langley.

Also, it's the same for fans who like Langley.

Because, after eight months of drama career, Langley finally officially announced that he would return to the big screen and start shooting and producing new works.
