Chapter 1243

After watching the count of Oxford leave, the other comrades greet him again, and Lan Li's side soon becomes lively again.

The overall atmosphere of the Oliver prize awarding ceremony is warm and warm. The greetings and conversation before the ceremony, full of enthusiasm, always revolve around the drama and performance. All the topics are about the west side and the works; All the meeting and conversation, each other's work is the best business card and the best topic.

"Oh, your last work was too bad. It's still a disaster."

"What happened to the performance that night? It's said that the fire is fully opened and the skills are startling. It's impossible to stop the rumors. "

"I think the way the character performs is very interesting. Obviously, your acting teacher brings more inspiration."

"By the way, are you preparing a new Shakespeare? I think your performance will be very interesting. "

"I watched your last performance and always felt that the rhythm was not right. What's wrong with it?"

……

One performance after another, one play after another, defines the roles and positions of actors, as well as the abilities and positions of actors. It is the best way to build a communication bridge with each other.

In addition, the audacity and innovation of an independent play are worthy of recognition, a play under preparation is worth looking forward to, and a performance of a performance is particularly worthy of discussion.

It reminds Langley of the Berlin Film Festival.

However, compared with Berlin, the Oliver prize is more professional and more in-depth. All of it is about drama, and it is only about drama. That kind of obsessive and addictive madness, that kind of crazy enthusiasm, that kind of forgetful concentration, and even unreasonable exclusiveness, but it has a wonderful charm in this wonderful and moving night.

For others, this is the gathering of a group of madmen, which builds a high barrier to completely isolate them from the outside world, and outsiders can not integrate into it at all; For them, this is the carnival of a group of actors, a small word can ignite all the passion, such as finding a large number of like-minded partners.

This is a field that Lan Li pursued, but it is a field that Lan Li is not familiar with.

No matter in the last life or in this life, Lan Li was lack of understanding of drama.

Now being in the Royal Theatre is like discovering a treasure hidden under a historic site. You can't extricate yourself from it.

In less than 30 minutes, lanli successfully made a large group of new friends, including actors, screenwriters, directors, dance beauties and designers. However, lanli only acted as an actor, even if his identity was slightly special, but in the final analysis, he was still an actor. "Les miserables" was his business card.

This feeling is so wonderful that it makes people forget themselves. Until the formal opening of the award ceremony, the discussion between lanli and Luke trindway is still not over, but they can only reluctantly choose to pause and wait for the end of the award ceremony to continue.

But from another point of view, the awarding ceremony has not started, the mood has been flying up. This is the real enjoyment.

……

All along, the Oliver prize has always kept a low profile and mysterious, never cooperated with the TV station, never opened the door to the general public, just held quietly in the industry, professional and arrogant attitude, just like the noble class to maintain their own etiquette and dignity, refused to show their true face.

However, the times are different after all.

In the rapid changes of the Internet age, even the traditional supremacy of the cinema is under severe impact, let alone the theater which is gradually lagging behind the times? The future prospects of the west end and Broadway are being eroded bit by bit, which also makes the British Theatre Association have to start to calm down and think.

Especially in the past year, the sudden rise of "les miserables", the bright stars of TV and film actors, and the warm resurgence of the western audience are all reminding the old scholars in the association——

As long as the repertoire is excellent enough, the stage can still attract a large number of ordinary audiences and senior fans; On the contrary, if we continue to uphold the professional craftsman attitude of "wine is not afraid of deep alley", they will be gradually eliminated by the times. Either change or disappear.

As a result, this year's Oliver awards ceremony will be broadcast live on BBC television.

In the 1980s, they continued to broadcast live on TV, but the effect was not good. The London Theatre Association ended its cooperation with BBC television until now. This is the first time in the 21st century.

Even so, the awards ceremony tonight has maintained the simplicity and purity of the Oliver awards and the west end, and even simpler than the Tony Awards. It only appropriately increased the performance of song and dance dramas to show the dramatic charm of the stage to the general public with a professional attitude and deep foundation. This is not a show for entertaining the public, It's a show of ability.

As for the process of awarding awards, it is even more straightforward. There are no guests full of variety, and there is no foreshadowing of suspense. Everything is just going on the stage, announcing and receiving awards. That's all. Compared with the Tony Award or Golden Globe Award, it is more like the Berlin Film Festival. All the focus is on the professional.

This makes the whole award ceremony reveal a fresh and refined sprightness, and awards are announced one after another.

Among the technical award departments, "tragic world" and "mysterious incident of late night dog" started a fierce fight, and finally the two works were equally divided, showing a strong momentum of winning tonight.

"Les miserables" is the best stage director, the best stage design and the best costume design.

"Mysterious event of late night dog" won the best lighting effect, the best sound effect and the best dance design.

Subsequently, "les miserables" defeated "phantom of opera", "jump out of my world", "magic bad witch", "Matilda" and other strong opponents, and won the best audience choice award. With four trophies, it became the biggest winner in the first half, continuing its strong performance since the nomination stage.

After entering the second half, the winners of various important awards were announced one after another.

Drama department.

The best supporting actor was Richard McCabe of the Queen's call; The best supporting actress was awarded to Nicola Walker of "the mystery of late night puppies.".

Musical department.

The best supporting actor came out in the cold, Tom Holland won with the wonderful performance of "les miserables", only 17 years old; The best supporting actress department also had an accident, the double insurance of "les miserables" failed to form a collective advantage, and Lee Zimmerman of "song and dance online" fought his way to win the cup.

It can be clearly felt that the competition for awards in the Performing Arts Department is no longer a single show or a double play. The attitude of a hundred flowers in full bloom really makes people see the prosperity and noise of the western district; Moreover, after excluding the interference of public relations means, strength is king, plus a little luck and opportunity, which has become the main theme of the award.

Then, without deliberately creating suspense and expectation, the leading role awards were presented one after another.

Drama department.

The bayonet competition for best actor ended with the victory of Luke tridwell.

"The mystery of the late night dog" started from the independent theater. At the beginning, it was a nameless native place, and now it is brilliant. Luke's performance has been greatly praised by the theater Association. In the end, Luke not only defeated a lot of old actors, but also the popular James McAvoy. He is only 29 years old this year.

The best actress witnessed Helen Mirren's unique performance.

In the work "the queen summons", Helen plays the role of "the Queen" again after "the Queen". Her solid acting skills, excellent interpretation ability and temperament from the inside out endow the role with unparalleled vitality. In terms of strength alone, no one can pose a threat to Helen this year.

It is worth mentioning that this is Helen's fourth Oliver nomination and her first award.

Musical department.

The battle for best actress also showed a clear attitude at a glance, with Imelda Staunton barely finding a rival and climbing to the top.

As an actress, Imelda is widely known. Vera Drake won her the Best Actress Oscar nomination. Professor Umbridge in the Harry Potter series is even more chilling; But in fact, this is a veteran of TV, drama and film for more than 30 years, and her legend in the west side is unknown.

Oliver nominated eight times, this time "barber Todd" is her fourth trophy.

Compared with Helen Mirren, Imelda's reputation and popularity may be a little worse, but in the British professional field, it is absolutely better.

The excellent quality of "barber Todd" has been affirmed, and Imelda's award is the best proof, which also makes everyone's attention focus on the announcement of the best actor award.

Because of Michael Bauer's superior strength, his opponent with Imelda won the full house; Also because of lanli Hall's amazing skills, a "miserable world" won the hearts of all tricky critics; Moreover, because of the potential egot possibility, he is qualified to compete under the age of 24. Langley is undoubtedly a phenomenal figure, which makes the trend of the Oliver prize much anticipated.

So, how will the London Theatre Association choose?

It's not just a matter of courage or strength, but also a challenge and impact to break the shackles of the whole industry and the whole history. No one is an exception. Just thinking about it in your mind, you can't help but start to get excited.

Before that, "les miserables" has successfully won five trophies, and now it is leading this year's Oliver prize. Can Langley continue such a strong position? Or just like the best supporting actress, to the neglect of Jingzhou?

This is the only special moment of tonight's award ceremony. Everyone can't help but hold their breath and feel the excitement and tension of the coming rain.
