Chapter 287： So-called personality

Suddenly interrupted while watching the performance, it is like a sudden blackout during the rollover of a roller coaster, which is really disgusting. It was rude to carry a camera in a theater on Broadway. Taking pictures is forbidden by order, and flashing lights? This is simply a heinous crime.

The flash light suddenly turned on at the scene, and the audience all expressed their dissatisfaction with murmurs. Hugo and Joseph were no exception. When Hugo turned his head and looked to the left side of the first floor, he saw the person out of sight. The mysterious guest directly extended the middle fingers of his hands, expressing his protest in this strong way.

But apart from complaining, the audience couldn’t do anything, and they didn’t plan to do anything. Everyone soon turned their heads and regained their sights on the stage, ready to continue watching the performance, but the performance that was still in progress on the stage suddenly stopped. Catherine stopped, to be precise.

"The gentleman who uses the flashlight, would you please go out?" Catherine walked to the front of the stage, facing the position where the flashlight was on just now, and said, Catherine was walking on crutches and it was difficult to walk, but she still He raised his head high, and expressed his inner anger with arrogant and righteous words.

This accident quieted the scene for an instant. The culprit obviously didn't want to stand up and admit his mistake, but Catherine would not allow such a thing to happen, "I'll say it again, get out! Otherwise the performance won't start again!" Catherine said loudly on the stage that her words were not so polite this time, and then she repeated it again, "Get out!"

Sure enough, there was a person in the auditorium on the left hurriedly stood up and walked out towards the'door' of the theater with a slight stagger. When his figure disappeared in the light and shadow of the'door', Catherine was here. Then he walked back to his position, adjusted his breathing, and started to enter the performance state again, bringing all the audience back to the drama of "significant problems".

Although Hugo has heard countless times that Catherine is a'female' who is full of sexuality and sharpness, and her glorious deeds are spread widely. Imagine that she dared to slap For the top director, the sudden incident just now is not unexpected; but even so, Hugo saw Catherine standing on the stage with his own eyes. The powerful momentum was not weakened by her age. People were dumbfounded, and even wanted to applaud her.

Maybe many people will have "sex" or even "sex" to describe Catherine, but Hugo is more willing to use the term "professional" to describe Catherine's behavior just now.

The use of flashlight by an audience member during the performance is not only a disrespect for the performer, but also interrupts the rhythm of the performance; it also affects other audiences and affects everyone's investment. So Catherine expressed her dissatisfaction with the audience on behalf of the actor and expelled the audience from the theater.

Maybe Catherine is a ‘sexual’ person, but she is also a dedicated actor.

This reminds Hugo of the first half of 2013, when the old British drama Helen Mirren () performed a stage play in the West End of London. As a result, the ongoing procession on the street was so loud that it penetrated into the weakly walled theater. , Making the audience and performers miserable. As a result, this'female' actor, who won the Oscar statuette for her role as Queen Elizabeth II (.) and was respected as the'female' majesty, wore a pearl-studded drama and a crown. Coming out of the'door' of the theater, he used dramatic language to express his condemnation righteously, "Quiet! I'm performing here, and people are paying a lot for the'door' tickets!"

Then, the parade was quiet.

In fact, Catherine's actions today are surprisingly similar to Helen's actions. While being domineering, they also showed their dedication and focus.

Hugo couldn't help thinking, if he stood on the stage, would he also criticize the off-site interference factors for being too focused on his performance? Although Hugo's personality is not like this, he really stands on the stage. On the stage of performance, who knows whether the result will be like this? It's just that Hugo can't find the answer in a short period of time. Given his half-bucket of water, it is estimated that Broadway will hardly be willing to invite him to be a part of a certain drama.

Although experiencing the little ‘interlude’ just now, Catherine returned to the performance without any problems. She quickly reentered the state and continued to dedicate her ‘exquisite’ performance to the audience. The audience off-site were obviously very professional and did not whisper. They immediately returned to the live performance and re-engaged in the appreciation.

But I don’t know if Catherine’s domineering image just now had an impact. When Hugo watched Catherine’s performance, words such as "strong" and "dominant" always appeared in his head. The non-compliance made Hugo quite dumbfounded. Of course, this also makes Hugo admire Catherine even more, because she can freely switch between different roles without feeling repulsive, and at the same time it will not make the audience uncomfortable.

From the reaction of the audience, it can be seen that Catherine's performance still easily convinced the audience, making the slightly dull second half still full of surprises, and it also made the original esoteric theme full of charm. Although Hugo is not a believer in Catholicism, after experiencing the journey, it is difficult for Hugo to say clearly whether there are any gods and ghosts in this world, and under Catherine's "persuasion", Hugo's mind can't help but start. Thinking about issues such as birth and death, religion and belief, I have to say that this is the charm of performance.

When the performance was over, Hugo didn't even notice the passage of time, and sighed in surprise there, "This is over?" But at the same time, Hugo also stood up and applauded for the first time, expressing his heart.' Excited, and I would like to give the most sincere appreciation to the actors’ performances.

And Joseph jumped directly up ‘excited’, slapping his hands vigorously and quickly like a seal. This kind of Joseph had not been seen by Hugo before, and he could clearly feel the trembling ‘wave’ of Joseph’s body because of the excessive ‘exciting’ movement, which made the smile at the corner of Hugo’s mouth involuntarily magnified.

It was not just Hugo and Joseph. The audience stood up and gave the most enthusiastic applause, including the group of people sitting on Hugo’s left hand. The mysterious guest also stood up and patted his hands politely. , Including the big man who was suspected to be asleep also stood up with a slow beat, clapping together ignorantly.

There were not many spectators at the scene today. It is estimated that there were less than two hundred people, and one was driven away by Catherine in the middle. However, the audience that was not full at this time broke out with the hottest support. This thunderous applause was Heartfelt applause from the audience. In a serious and formal occasion like the theater, there are no screams, no whistle, no cheers, only lonely applause, but the continuous applause on the stage like the tide is the most direct affirmation of the actors on the stage. The praise constituted by the applause shook Hugo's heart like overwhelming waves. This is the real live performance!

Hugo didn’t know how long he had been applauding, but all the audience stood proudly like a straight green pine, clapping constantly, maybe ten minutes, maybe fifteen minutes, the passage of time is not important at all, rain Guo only knew that his red and swollen hands completely vented the excitement in his heart. Perhaps, only in occasions like dramas and operas will there be applause that lasts for tens of minutes, because this is the only way for the audience to express their inner emotions, and it is also the only channel for the audience to give back to the actors.

Due to the overwhelming applause, the actors had to come to the stage three times before and after the curtain call. Among them, Catherine won a three-minute applause alone. This is the charm of Broadway. The audience’s preferences are revealed in the first time, and the audience’s satisfaction with the actors is also directly expressed without any cover. At the same time, the audience’s sense of the performance is also very fruitful in the daylight, which is a blow to the actors. Motivation is enough to be the most authentic touchstone for testing an actor's performance.

"Your evaluation of the play just now is correct." After the applause gradually declined, there was a voice on the left hand side. This voice was very special, a little hoarse, but very gentle, not loud, but rather warm. Whispering, a sense of familiarity hits his face when he enters Hugo's ears. "I was still curious just now, did I meet you? Now it seems that I didn't admit the wrong person."

Hugo subconsciously turned his head and looked over, and said at the same time, "Thank you..." Then Hugo saw the man in front of him, instantly as if he was struck by lightning After leaving the place, the following words were directly stuck in his throat.

The man in front of him has a pale face, a pair of rosy'lips' are particularly conspicuous, and his nose looks'stiff' and sharp, as if a sharp blade divided his face into two halves, which is not bright His eyes were drawn with a shallow lower eyeliner, and a long, dark, slightly curly hair fell randomly on his shoulders. At this time, he had already put on his top hat, covering about one-third of his face, but Even so, this face is still so clear and familiar, even more familiar than Hugo's own face.

Although Hugo has lived here for more than a year, he is still a little unfamiliar with his face, and even for many moments he will look at his face in a daze, and then ask questions, "Who is this? "

But even if Hugo doesn’t recognize his own face, it’s absolutely impossible for him to fail to recognize the face of the man in front of him, and the true identity of this man makes Hugo, who has experienced many big scenes, suddenly become speechless. The situation, standing in place like a silly idiot.

The man in front of him is the only man in the world, and there is only one man in the long river of music, who can never be copied.

Michael Jackson.
