Chapter 484： return to the bank

Travi looked at the young man in front of him and couldn't help but sigh. Although he was a guy who didn't do his job properly, he rarely had a pure heart. He didn't get dizzy by this huāhuā world, and still remembered his original dream.

"Then if there is a good repertoire, are you willing to abandon the movie and music and come back to the stage of the theater?" Travie Nahn looked at Evan Bell meaningfully and asked with a smile.

Evan Bell shrugged, "Travi, if there's a good show, of course I'd like to come back to Broadway. You know, I've been here for ten years, and I haven't been on stage for a full season." "Cat", Evan Bell was only the second actor, and only came on stage during the rotation. At this point, the Broadway-focused Penn-Lecce is ahead of Evan-Bell, who has been on stage for four consecutive seasons as the lead actor in "Oklahoma."

Travi didn't hesitate any longer, got up and walked to the dressing table, picked up the script of "Nine", "I have a good play here, see if you are interested. Of course, it depends on whether you have time. "Travi-Nann knew very well that if Evan Bell had signed a movie contract first, it had to be fulfilled.

Evan-Bell has no film appointments at the moment, and only has "Crash..., one film, and has just started preparations. It's not as busy as last year, but after finishing his work at the beginning of this year, it's relatively relaxed. So , Evan Bell took over the script "New repertoire? Look at you, but I like it very much. "It's the old drama day, and it was staged this time. I want to rearrange it this time. "Traviy-Nann briefly introduced," This is a play that revolves around the male lead. The male lead has a heavy burden and must be brilliant for the play to shine. "Evan Bell was stunned when he saw the name "Nine (NE on the cover of the script. He knew this drama, more than knowing it, it could even be said that he knew it very well, but he was not sure if he knew it. That play, after listening to the introduction of Travi-Nann, opened the script and looked at it briefly. Sure enough, it was the famous play just as he thought.

The most famous moment of the play "Nine" was not on Broadway, but in Hollywood 2009

Years after it was adapted into a movie. The director who originally adapted this classic Broadway play into a movie was Rob Marshall, the great director who shot "Chicago" and "Memoirs of a Geisha".

Rob Marshall continued the singing and dancing part of the Broadway repertoire, but made the slightly serious plot on the Broadway stage lively and more suitable for the requirements of commercial movies.

The most remarried is "Nine". The play, as described by Travi-Nane, revolves around the male protagonist, with a total of seven female characters appearing before and after. The movie version of "Nine" can definitely be called a gathering of superstars. This situation is completely comparable to the "Eleven Arhats" that swept the superstar lineup in the United States. Daniel-Dai-Lewis, Ma Zaan-Singa, Penelope-Cruz, Nicole-Kidman, Stacey-Frog, Sophia-Roland, Judy-Chicket-Hudson , These eight actors formed the "Nine" diamond-level cast. This group of actors has accumulated a total of 18 Oscar nominations and seven golden statuettes, making all the media stunned.

As a reporter in his last life, Evan Bell was definitely impressed by this luxurious musical "Nine". What left an indelible impression on Evan Bell was the film's fiasco at the box office. The diamond-level cast did not bring in diamond-level box office revenue, and all the $90 million invested was thrown into the water, and I couldn't even hear it. to a sound. However, compared to the film version, the two Broadway performances of "Nine" were outstanding, and won unanimous praise from audiences and professionals. Whether it was the 1982 version or the 2003 version, they both achieved excellent reputation. It can only be said that this play is suitable for Broadway.

Evan Bell has not seen the Broadway version, but once walked into the cinema to watch the "Nine" stars shine, but ended up being an anticlimactic, the focus is blurred, and the most important thing is that the charm of the stars is too scattered, not integrated, the story does not To be reflected, there is no Rob Marshall in "Chicago" in the display of talent. "Nine" box office slump is also predictable. However, the songs and dances in the movie were directly moved from Broadway at that time, and Evan Bell used only one word to summarize "classic". Maybe the plot is sloppy, maybe the characters are scattered, but the singing and dancing part is really gorgeous, which makes people see the profound heritage of Broadway.

"How is the preparation progress now?" Evan Yibel asked while flipping the script. He was reading the script very seriously. In fact, the play "Nine" is also well-known in the history of Broadway and has been well received. The movie version of Waterloo is still regrettable when I want to come.

Evan-Bell feels that Rob-Marshall is still lacking in actor training and running-in. Have not started.

Evan Bell raised his head with a surprised look at Travi ※Nan's words.

Travie Nahn shrugged, "Actually, as long as you find a good actor, you can start soon. The songs and dances in the play have come to an end, and it can be finished this week. Rehearsal will start next week, in time for May. performed before."

This process is familiar to Evan Bell. "Nine" is not a super-large play like "Cat". You must know that when "Cat" is performing, there are at most thirty-six actors on a single-act stage, and it takes a lot of time to rehearse. of. "Nine" is different from "Nine", which relies more on the individual abilities of the actors and then integrates them, so two months of rehearsal time is enough.

"Are you interested?" Looking at Evan Bell's serious expression, Travie felt a lot more relaxed.

Evan Bell nodded, "I have no problem with my time." The shooting of "Crash" is estimated to have to wait until the summer. The school's courses this semester are relatively easy, and there is no teaching task. Evan-Bell's schedule is also loose. many.

"Clap!" Travi-Nann clapped his palm hard, and a crisp sound "Great!" Evan-Bell looked up and saw the joy on Travi-Nanen's face.

At this time, after reflecting from the script, Evan Bell also realized that after saying goodbye to the Broadway stage for more than two years, he was finally going to return to the stage of this lake and basket. "Travi, I have been there for a long, long time. There is no dance practice, I think the early stage will be a slow recovery process."

"That's your business, I don't care at all." Travinaen looked completely unconcerned. "Stretching, moving joints, you are the one who is in pain. I am responsible for helping, not for the painful part." Evan Yi Bell only felt his face twitching.

Looking back, Eleven Studio was actually very busy this year. Evan Bell also had two projects on hand, "Crash" and "Mysterious Skin", and even he left "Pirates of the Caribbean"

It wasn't long before the crew, but in the first half of the year, there was no arrangement for his itinerary. It seems that maybe fate decides that he will return to this stage.

"Seven actresses, it seems that the characters to be cast are very difficult." Evan Bell looked at the eager Travie Nahn and said with a smile, "and the characteristics of the seven actresses are different, you have Got busy."

"Don't worry." Travie Nahn was confident. "New York is short of everything, and the most unlikely thing is musical actors." It's like Hollywood can't be short of actors. "What's more, if I say this You will play the male lead in the play, wow, can you imagine the grand occasion of coming for an interview?"

Evan Bell gave a helpless look.

Travi Nian smiled and waved his hand, saying that he would not make trouble. "Do you have any ideas to join the production team? For example, participating in song modification, choreography, etc., as well as casting work." En is not a casual talk. Although Evan Bell is not qualified enough, he has the ability to make very useful suggestions.

Evan Bell shook his head, "If I have time recently, I need to focus on the adaptation of a script. There is also album promotion." Then, Evan Bell still spread his hands. "Besides, I would rather start training when I have time. Don't be in a hurry then."

Travi knew that Evan Bell was serious, so he did not continue to entangle, and nodded with a smile, "You should prepare to go to the Grammy Awards first. Last year's glory, it seems that this year's focus is It's you I am the most confident in music right now, isn't it?" Evan Bell replied with a smile, this is not his modesty, because in front of Trevi-Nann, there is no It is necessary to be humble, they have known each other for ten years.

Evan and Bell's achievements in movies can be summed up in two sentences, two movies with a box office of over 200 million, and a bunch of Best Supporting Actor trophies~

That doesn't include the Oscars, because this year's Oscars haven't been held yet. Fame to fame, popularity to popularity, are not enough to make Evan Bell take a qualitative leap in terms of actors. Therefore, Evan-Bell has entered the ranks of top singers in terms of music, but in terms of movies, he still needs to continue to work hard. The excellence in 2002 is just a starting point.

When it comes to Grammys, many people will think of Evan Bell, who amazed countless people at the 44th Grammy Awards last year, and Evan Bell who won a big victory.

At this year's 45th Grammy Awards, the competition between Evan Bell, Amy Nam and newcomer Nora Jones is bound to become the biggest attraction. Because after the nominations were announced at the awards ceremony at the end of last year, these three people have already made a big splash, leading the nomination list for the 45th Grammy. ! .
