The suspense of the best musical actor award was revealed. Langley won the first nomination and won his first Oliver award at the age of 23!
But the award ceremony is still not over, there are still five most important awards not awarded!
The best director is the one who takes the lead.
The fierce competition in the Department is beyond imagination. The works with a large number of nominations, such as "high hat" and "barber Todd", did not even make it to the final stage. The four directors who won the nomination were from "Queen's call", "master and Margaret", "mystery of late night dog" and "tragic world".
Through the trend of the whole award ceremony, it can be concluded that the final competition should focus on the "mysterious event of late night dog" and "tragic world".
In fact, the director of "les miserables" John corder defeated the director of "late night mystery of dogs" Marianne Elliott, and won the Oliver Award for the first time in his career, which laid the last cornerstone for the great victory of "les miserables" tonight.
At the moment of the award speech, John was at a loss.
John specially thanks the cast members for their hard work, especially lenley, "thank you lenley hall. When everyone refused to believe that you were competent for Jean Valjean, you didn't fear and flinch. Instead, you trained and rehearsed day and night. At last, you gave an amazing performance, conquered all the audience and made the play
As he said that, John could not help choking up and wiping the tears on his cheek. "Thank you for believing me and standing on this stage."
"Les miserables" made lanli brilliant, on the other hand, lanli also made the classics of "les miserables".
So far, all the individual awards have been awarded, and then it's the turn of the four major Drama Awards.
The best new drama, "the mystery of late night dog" has no suspense, defeated the powerful opponents such as "the queen summoned" and "outstanding person", and continued the highly praised strong development curve tonight.
The best rehearsal drama, "a long night's journey" broke out a big surprise, "Macbeth", "the Twelfth Night", "the past" and other popular works all fell, and became a foil.
The best brand-new musical, "Gao Mao" is out of the dust. It is difficult for other nominated works to pose a threat. From the side, we can see that the overall situation of the western district is not optimistic.
The best rehearsal musical, "les miserables" has a perfect ending. It's easy to beat back a number of strong enemies, and it's a perfect ending for tonight's excellent performance. It's officially declared a complete victory.
It can be seen from the trend of the four Oliver awards that brand-new plays have fallen into the mire one after another, with fewer and fewer excellent works. From creativity to script, from conception to stage, they have entered a downturn stage, and their overall competitiveness is generally not strong; Just because of this, the trend of classic script rearrangement headed by Shakespeare is rising strongly, and the crazy pursuit of "les miserables" in the past year is the best proof.
Objectively speaking, this is not only the dilemma of drama, but also the dilemma of film and television.
The sharp decrease of original scripts, the drastic increase of adaptation projects and sequel projects, and even the selection range of adaptation objects have begun to further expand, which has gradually become the mainstream trend of art creation all over the world. Especially under the influence of the Internet age and fast food culture, the pace of updating is faster and faster, and the difficulty of original creation is also increasing.
In this year's Oliver Award nomination stage, "les miserables" made history with 11 nominations; After tonight's award ceremony, "les miserables" won eight trophies, which also made history, breaking the seven trophy winning record set by "Matilda" last year, and writing a new record!
The Queen's Theatre version of "les miserables" has been on for 28 years. Now, the Almeida theatre version of "les miserables" has written history again! Just this reincarnation has been recorded in history.
But why?
Because original projects are becoming more and more difficult, adaptation and rearrangement projects are becoming more and more common.
In fact, before the nomination list came out, the voice of "mystery of late night dog" was rising rapidly, and even had the posture of anti super "tragic world".
People in the industry have said that they should remember to award original and new plays, encourage artists to continue to create, and arouse the creative ability of the whole industry, so as to form a virtuous circle for the long-term development of the western district.
But in the end, the repertoire "les miserables" still maintained an absolutely strong posture.
The reason is very complex and simple. John Codd's version of "les miserables" opens a new door, showing people different adaptation skills and bold and innovative ways of exploration. The old tree blossoms, and an old play is rejuvenated.
What's more, John cod is not just a cook. Based on the original work, he started thinking and digging, injected a new soul, re examined the classic stories from different perspectives, and successfully conquered the audience and critics.
For the whole industry, this is undoubtedly a crucial inspiration! Creation is not only limited to the new conception and breeding, but also can be the secondary processing of divergent thinking, and can also be the deep excavation of changing the angle, truly refining the width, depth and thickness of art works.
As a result, the 2013 Oliver prize came to an end, and "les miserables" became the biggest winner with eight record breaking trophies!
Since last year's premiere night, "les miserables" has received a lot of cheers and praise from the industry, changing the status quo of the industry in all aspects; And further, it's spreading all over the world.
From the west end to Broadway, the strong momentum has been smoothly continued. As the anniversary of the premiere is approaching, Almeida theatre has also announced the tour schedule of Sweden, Germany, France, Japan, Australia and other countries around the world, and a new version of "les miserables" has also come to more audiences.
The best rehearsal musical, the best director, the best musical actor, the best supporting actor, the best stage director, the best stage design, the best costume design, the best audience choice.
With eight trophies, les miserables has once again become the focus of attention. In a flash, all eyes are focused on the Tony prize two months later.
After landing on Broadway, can the "miserable world", which is also highly praised, swept away and won the favor of the American theater association? Can we continue the strong performance above the Oliver prize? Can we welcome the harvest of awards again? Can we set a new record? Most importantly——
Langley hall.
Can Langley continue to win the Tony Award for best musical actor? Can we win the four top awards one step at a time and achieve the incredible egot in just four years? Can we break the shackles of age again and truly write a new history that no one can surpass?
It's absurd to say that the list of nominations for the Tony Award has not been announced yet. It's very likely that Langley has not even won the nomination, let alone won the award in a historic way. It's too anxious and urgent to discuss a "possibility" now. All the discussions are meaningless before the nomination appears.
But that's what happened.
Everyone is talking about it, from Britain to the United States, from Europe to Asia, from the drama industry to the film industry, from entertainment news to social news. In a flash, it seems that everyone is aware of the possibility of egot, so they turn their eyes and join the hot discussion, It's as if they really understand what it means to be an egot under 24.
I'm afraid that most of the people involved in the discussion didn't even understand what egot meant.
However, the side also proves that the popularity of topic communication in the era of social network presents a brand new scene. As the most popular young actor today, lanli's appeal has been fully reflected once again, and the related topics spread across the whole network.
Even ordinary netizens who don't know anything about egot can't wait to start a Google survey, seriously start to understand the background information, really read all the details, for fear that they will fall behind the tide of the times and be excluded from the fierce discussion.
Rarely seen, the Oliver awards and the Tony Awards have also bloomed comparable to the light of the award season, causing a heated discussion in the whole society!
In this regard, the "new Yorker" wrote a special report, launched in-depth analysis and discussion, they call this phenomenon "young master effect".
"Langley hall, the name is becoming a symbol of an era.
It is a symbol of brilliant and dedicated, wholeheartedly into a particular cause of pursuit and struggle, in the name of dream, like a moth to the fire.
It is a sign that every work is the guarantee of quality, every performance is the guarantee of expectation, and the strong appeal is forming a phenomenal wave.
It also marks the maturity, wisdom, elegance and calmness, the calm self-reliance in the prosperous Vanity Fair, the refusal of self loss and self indulgence, and the maintenance of a pure heart.
Just as everyone is marveling at the birth of the miracle, from television to film, from music to drama, Langley reinterprets the meaning of actor, and labels the term "career and dream of actor" with his own definition; However, Lan Li has put the past behind him, looked forward to the future, returned to his job again, and made a down-to-earth start again.
Interestingly, this is an Internet age. Impetuous, anxious, uneasy, uneasy and turbulent are the key words; But lanli is slowing down, slowing down the pace, putting light weight, step by step out of a road of their own. This is not his era, but it is his era.
To end with a quote from Langley hall at the Oliver awards ceremony: "thank God, I'm really an actor."
