On the 24th, the 45th Grammy Awards Ceremony is about to kick off. Before heading to the awards ceremony, Evan Bell had one important thing he forgot to do: visit his mentor, Travi-Nane. In fact, he felt like he should meet Travie Nahn as early as last year, and he's been off Broadway for a long, long time. Travi-Nann, Penn-Lecce, Broadway Theater... These terms, he hadn't come into contact with them for a long time.
This time, Evan Bell stayed in New York long enough, but because he had been working on the adaptation of "Mysterious Skin", he forgot about it. Now that I remember, Evan Bell decided to revisit the same place before the Grammys.
Going forward along Broadway Avenue, there are many large and small theaters along the way. At this time, it is almost dark, so the neon lights at the entrance of the theater are flashing, and they are particularly dazzling among the gray and white buildings. In front of them is a huge The "" logo is flashing, and the world-famous fast food chain Maibirao, the red light box is particularly shining. Just a few dozen yards further, you can see the dark red light bulbs flickering. At this time, there is a huge poster hanging above the theater. Above the pictorial, a lion head is very powerful. You can see at a glance that it is on Broadway recently. It's "The Lion King".
The musical "The Lion King" was adapted from the famous movie. It was performed on Broadway in 1997 and won a number of Tony Awards. However, at the beginning of this year, "The Lion King" started to become popular again. The rounds continue to rise.
At this time, when the Broadway show came in tonight, many tourists gathered at the door and it was very lively. Evan-Bell greeted the doorman and entered through the side door.
There is nothing special about the backstage of Broadway, that is, there are more props, more complicated costumes, more people, and that's it.
Travi-Nann is quite relaxed at this time. "Oklahoma" has been performing for three consecutive seasons. After the end of the current winter show, the curtain will come to an end. The main actors have already adapted to the stage performance, plus today is the "Lion King" released first, so he has enough time to relax.
At this moment, Travi-Nan was sitting in his office, lighting a cigarette, drinking coffee and staring at the script on the desktop in a daze. A mouthful of sour coffee entered his mouth, and Travi-Nann suddenly remembered what his disciple Evan-Bell described to the coffee as "urinated by a drunk monkey" and couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The script on the table is a new one. It has been about three weeks since he got it, but he still hasn't started to prepare the troupe, mainly because the male lead has no clue. The script says a clear and unrestrained "nine (ne is a very good script, but the requirements for the male protagonist are also very high, singing skills, dancing skills, and the most important thing is the control of the stage. From his point of view, this character is very easy to be successful, and it should be very convincing for the Tony Award, the highest award of the theatre festival: the premise is that the actors are good enough. Therefore, Travie-Nann was a little worried.
The play "Nine" actually landed on Broadway in May 1982, with more than 700 performances, and won five Tony Awards. This time, another sponsor came to Travie-Nann, hoping that the master of musical and dance drama who created "Cat" in the United States can once again bring it to the Broadway stage. The 1982 version of "Nine" won the Best Musical and Dance Drama Award and the Best Actress Award.
The real core character of this play is the protagonist Guydo-Kantini. Guido-Kantini is a director who is overwhelmed by new films and family problems. He juggles between his wife, love fù, muse of inspiration, object of inspiration, mother, nose producer, and female reporter. His life seemed to be caught in a vortex of catastrophe.
It can be seen from this that the role of Guydo-Kantini must be convincing so that the tension of the whole play can be reflected. No wonder Travie-Nann is worried.
The actor of "Oklahoma" currently on show is Penn-Lecce, who was picked up by Travie-Nann. Although Penn-Lecce still made many mistakes last spring, the performance since then has not been improved. Huge progress has been made. Now Penn-Lecce can be regarded as a first-line actor on Broadway. Although he has not yet entered the top ranks, his performance has been regarded as a qualitative leap.
However, the style of Penn-Lecce is too tough for the new play "Nine". The really suitable character for Penn-Lecce is a tough guy, and the dance is also a little tougher. To express it professionally, it means that the movements are rough, and it is estimated that it is due to the lack of basic skills when I was a child. This lack makes it difficult to bridge the gap between Payne-Lecce and top actors. In Broadway, the delicateness of dance is not only the delicateness of the movements, the most accurate word should be "in place". The fixed point of the posture and the pause of the movement are neat and neat, not sloppy, the important thing is to show the extension and pause that the angle needs. At this point, Payne*Lecce lags behind a lot because of the gap in basic skills.
In addition, the lack of changes in Penn-Lecce's acting skills also destined his future style to be fixed in the position of a tough guy.
Travie Nahn couldn't help thinking of his most proud disciple, Evan Bell. Evan Bell's basic skills are very solid, and he is willing to endure hardship. The important thing is that Evan Bell's singing skills,
In addition to his outstanding dancing and acting skills, his stage control is also very outstanding, which is an outstanding talent. After being sculpted, it glows amazingly. Evan-Bell's achievements in music and film in the past two years are so outstanding, and Travi-Nann is not surprised at all, because Evan-Bell has this talent and perseverance: in addition to being too unprofessional, now The grades he deserved.
When it came to the play "Nine", Travi-Nann thought about it, and the first choice was Evan-Bell. Although Evan Bell is some distance away from the image of a 30-year-old middle-aged man in Guydo-Kantini, this is not a problem for him at all. More importantly, whether it is temperament, acting skills, singing skills, dancing skills, Evan Bell has a full grasp of this role. Travie-Nann even had a stage image of Evan Bell playing Guido Cantini in his mind.
But in the end, Travi-Nann gave up. Evan-Bell's recent busyness is clear as long as he reads the news. He is proud of his spring breeze now. Trip to Europe, also appeared in Paris Fashion Week. It is estimated that even if asked, the time is not right.
Travie Nahn thought of what Evan Bell said when he chose to leave Broadway, "I will come back to this stage in the future, I'm only eighteen years old, and life has just begun, isn't it? At that time, I hope you can still accept me." The high-spirited smiling face was still clearly visible in front of him. It's just that Travi-Nann doesn't know whether the outside world of huāhuā has occupied Evan-Bell's heart.
It was always like this when I was young and frivolous. After seeing the prosperity outside, I lost my original dream. When I was old, when I looked back on the past, I suddenly realized that I had lost the beauty of the past. Travie-Nann has always believed that Evan-Bell is a child who knows his goals, but is he still thinking the same as he did? Or has his dream turned into a bigger stage? The Broadway stage couldn't hold him anymore.
Thinking of this, Travi-Nann couldn't help but feel a little discouraged. Although he was used to all this, he still felt regret every time he thought about it. There are fewer and fewer people paying attention to Broadway. Is it possible that one day in the future, Broadway will be unsustainable and walk off the stage of history?
Travey let out a wry smile on his nose, laughing at his unfounded worries.
At this moment, a voice came from the door, "Dear Mr. Naen, what are you thinking, laughing so happily?" As soon as Travie Naen turned his head reflexively, he saw the familiar figure, his face immediately lù smiled "Hey, young man, why are you here?" Travie Nahn stepped forward and gave the person a big hug, "The Grammy Awards ceremony will be in two days, why are you still so leisurely? "I came here to see you Evan Bell looked at the office. Although the two hadn't seen each other for more than a year and a half, there was almost no change here, even the makeup table. The broken glass is still there." Oklahoma, how's the attendance? I saw there was a game at ten o'clock tonight. "Yes, it's the fourth quarter, and Payne has improved a lot. "Traviy Nahn walked to the sofa against the wall and sat down with Evan Bell. "I was thinking of you just now, and I was startled when I didn't expect you to appear. "Evan Yibel chuckled." Are you wondering why I haven't shown up for so long, or have you forgotten Broadway? Evan Bell was actually just a casual joke, but it made Travie Nahn's eyes widen. There really is no time for Broadway. "Four movies, one album, college, and backpacking in Europe, this is Evan Bell's 2002." But I've always had a soft spot for Broadway. "Evan-Bell winked at Travie-Nann.
Ten years, Evan Bell spent ten years here. Not to mention, this is the starting point of Evan Bell's dream, how could he forget it. Although he has achieved very good results now, Evan Bell has not changed from the beginning to the end. He is still the boy who entered Broadway for the sake of music dreams and self-reliance.
